Chapter 181 Shen was forced to apologize
The death of Butler Liu also gave Shen an opportunity to vent her anger. She had always hated Su Mo, and this was simply the biggest stain in her life.
Shen raised her chin and looked at Su Mo with poisonous eyes. "Lord Su is so powerful that he forced the steward of our Prime Minister's Mansion to death with just one visit! Poor steward Liu still has his parents and young son at home. It's also pitiful for the orphan and widow of the Liu family."
"Come here, allocate a hundred taels of pension from the account to the family of Butler Liu!"
Shen's action was to slap Su Mo in the face and let him know that the Su Mansion was not something he could do as he pleased.
Su Jixue raised her eyebrows.
Tsk tsk.
It was the first time she had seen someone travel thousands of miles to deliver someone's life.
Su Mo really didn't disappoint. After Shen finished speaking, he sneered, "Thank you, Madam Su, for the clue. Since Butler Liu has family members. He committed suicide out of fear of punishment, then arrest the Liu family members. I don't believe that his family is completely unaware of the situation!"
After Su Mo finished speaking, he looked at Su Jian provocatively.
Is it okay to shoot yourself in the foot?!
Su Jian suddenly shook off Shen's hand, and the warmth just now disappeared completely. Shen was simply a jinx who was holding him back.
It was easy to arrange for Butler Liu to commit suicide, but it was difficult to arrange for his family. If he was silenced, he would definitely be discovered, but if he was taken away, Su Mo would hold a grudge against the Su family, and it would be easy to get a confession that was unfavorable to him.
"Butler Liu is only suspected. It's not good to bring harm to your family. It may not be good for your official reputation if it gets out." Old Madam Su said lightly, her heart full of disappointment towards Shen.
At the beginning, it was because of Shen's family background and her deep love for Su Jian that the marriage was finally decided.
But a stupid person will always be stupid and can never become smart.
"For Dongchu, Su Mo would not hesitate to sacrifice his life!" Su Mo looked righteous and awe-inspiring. He held his head high and looked at Madam Su: "This is a serious act of treason. It is better to arrest the wrong person than to let him go!"
"Someone, go to Butler Liu's house and get him!"
Su Mo directly ordered the men from the Five Cities Military Department to arrest the man.
"You!" Shen was furious and pointed at Su Mo: "You are taking this opportunity to take revenge!"
Seeing that she was about to speak, Su Jixue, who had been watching the show quietly, spoke again: "Mother, be careful with your words. Mother should refrain from discussing state affairs when it comes to collaborating with the enemy!"
Su Jixue also had a look of righteousness on her face. She looked at Shen with her pretty face, a warning in her eyes.
"Are you blaming me?!" Shen frowned. She couldn't stand Su Jixue anymore. Being spoken of like this by her daughter in public, Shen felt completely ashamed.
"We are lucky that our uncle cared about our Su family and did not bring troops to surround our family. Mother, be careful of what you say." Su Jixue saw that Shen was still talking, but she would not indulge her bad habits.
As Su Jixue spoke, she looked at Su Mo with pretended gratitude. In fact, she was reminding Su Mo that not only could he capture Butler Liu's family, but he could also take the opportunity to surround the Su family.
If Su Mo did this, then if we were to investigate, it would be Shen's fault for speaking out of turn.
"It seems that Madam Su doesn't appreciate it!" Su Mo quickly understood what Su Jixue meant, his face darkening: "I just don't know if Madam Su wants to protect Butler Liu, or is she also involved in this matter!"
"It seems I was wrong. I originally wanted to come to your house privately to see what was going on because we share the same surname, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful." Su Mo's face darkened and said, "In that case, let's handle this matter in a businesslike manner!"
Su Mo said directly to his men, "Go and inform the Jinwu Guards to surround the Su Mansion. No one is allowed to leave. Wait until we find out if the Su family is connected to the treason case before making a decision."
This is ready to be handled in a businesslike manner.
"Surround the Su family, what gives you the right to surround the Su family just like that!" Shen hadn't come to her senses yet. She just felt that Su Mo was taking revenge for his personal grudge.
"Just because the Prime Minister's Housekeeper Liu has a poison that can kill 120,000 soldiers, Sanrixue."
"Just because the identity of the Second Miss of the Xiangfu is unknown, and the Gui family is involved in harboring spies from Nanqing!"
"Just look at the fact that Steward Liu is dead, yet the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion actually feels sorry for him and even doesn't hesitate to reprimand me."
"Are these reasons enough?!"
Su Mo mocked Shen Shi with a cold expression, then waved his hand at his subordinates: "Go quickly, don't let the Prime Minister's wife get anxious and think we are unreliable!"
"Wait, Huaide, don't be so impatient!" Su Jian immediately spoke up to stop her. He glared at Shen and said, "My wife has been suffering from a fever recently and has a strong liver fire. It was not intentional to offend. Shen, why don't you come and apologize to Huaide!"
Shen was like a petrified man.
Ask her to apologize to Su Mo? !
Shen was not willing to do this in her heart. You know, regardless of her identity or the incident that happened that year, she still had a grudge in her heart. Now she was asked to apologize to Su Mo. Bah!
She wanted to spit in his face.
"Zhuang'er, mother knows that you are feeling emotionally unstable after hearing about your daughter's affairs today, but Lord Su is representing the Five Cities Military Department right now. The capital is in troubled times right now, and the Five Cities Military Department bears a huge responsibility. Zhuang'er, don't think this is a trivial matter." Old Madam Su had also come to her senses at this time. She knew that this matter could be big or small, and now it all depended on Su Mo.
This is a disguised way of pressuring Shen Zhuang to apologize to Su Mo.
"Sir Su, I was rude in my words before. I'm sorry." Shen understood Madam Su's warning and finally regained some of her rationality. She apologized reluctantly.
"I am only a sixth-rank official and do not deserve an apology from the Prime Minister's wife." Su Mo bowed and avoided Shen's bow. "I am busy today, so I will not stay here any longer. Come, take the second lady of the Su family and the Gui family, and let's go back to the yamen!"
Su Mo has achieved his purpose by coming to the Su family this time. He has paid back some of the humiliation he suffered in the Su family.
"Mother, save me, Mingyue is innocent!"
"Daddy! Brother!"
Su Mingyue was dragged away crying and shouting.
Su Mingyue looked at Su Mingyue's miserable back coldly. There must be a cause for every effect, and this end was what she deserved.
"By the way, Lord Su, I would like to advise everyone in the mansion not to leave the house casually recently, otherwise it will be bad if they get into trouble." Su Mo suddenly turned around the corner, glared at his cousin who had been suppressing him from a distance, and warned with a stern face.
After saying this, they disappeared from the Su family's sight.
"What a villain succeeding!"
Seeing Su Mo finally walk away, Shen couldn't help but spat fiercely in the direction they disappeared. Then she turned around and looked Gui Mingzhu up and down, asking with a tone of disdain, "Did you know the truth a long time ago? Why didn't you tell me the last time we met?!"
Gui Mingzhu didn't say anything, but just looked at Shen who had lost her composure in front of her. As expected, there was no love or care in her biological mother's eyes, only complaints and disgust.
