Chapter 180: Madam Su gets angry, Shen asks for divorce
Shen fell in love with Su Jian when she was young, and it was Shen's insistence that made their marriage possible.
She has always been gentle and understanding towards Su Jian, and would never offend Su Jian in front of others.
But ever since the incident at the Princess's Mansion broke out, the two of them gradually became estranged, and Shen now didn't give Su Jian any face at all.
"What are you talking about!" Su Jian wanted to push Shen away, but Shen seemed to have gone mad and held on to Su Jian tightly.
"Su Jian, tell me, what have I done that is not good enough for you to humiliate me like this!"
Shen's eyes were red as she stared at Su Jian.
Among the ladies in the capital, Shen was considered one of the most prominent ones. Now that she had such a scandal about having a mistress, she didn't know how she would be ridiculed in the future.
Not to mention that he also raised a pair of illegitimate children with his concubine.
"Shen Zhuang, is this the rules and way of being a wife that the Shen family taught you?!" Seeing this scene, Old Lady Su couldn't help but scold coldly.
Shen gritted her teeth and reluctantly let go, as if she had made a decision: "Mother, now my husband blames me, and you scold me too. I guess it's because I, the wife of the Prime Minister, am not doing my job well enough."
"In that case, I will leave!"
Since the Su family was unwilling to take action on the Zhuang family issue, and the Su Mansion was now facing many crises, and now that little bitch from the illegitimate wife was actually brought into the Mansion, Shen Shi made up her mind to retreat in order to advance.
At this critical juncture, the Su family would never divorce his wife, and divorcing her because of his concubine would make Su Jian's reputation even worse.
But there was no way Shen couldn't hold back her anger. She knelt down on the ground with a thud, her expression determined.
It seems like he really wants to leave.
"Nonsense!" Old Madam Su was furious. "It's just a piece of shit that's not presentable enough. You can just get rid of it casually. Why are you making such a fuss over it?!"
Madam Su glanced at Yu Niang with contempt: "Come here, sell this unruly woman!"
Old Madam Su originally didn't want to keep Yu Niang. The moment she saw Yu Niang, she guessed what Su Jian was thinking.
After all, Madam Su is not like others who don’t know what Ji Xue looks like.
Every year, someone would bring Ji Xue's portrait, and Madam Su knew everything about what she looked like from childhood to adulthood.
Therefore, she would never let Yu Niang stay!
What a sin!
"Jianlang, you said you would never let anyone bully me!" Yu Niang was caught and was about to be sold, and she begged Su Jian in a sad voice.
Her words further angered Mrs. Shen and Madam Su.
Su Jian looked at Madam Su's expression and said with a stiff upper lip, "Mother, Yu Niang already has a son and a daughter. If we sell them off, how will the children cope?"
"Since you are so shameless as to become someone's mistress, you should know the possible consequences!" Shen snorted coldly and sneered.
"Jian'er, since they are the children of the Su family, just recognize them." Old Madam Su said indifferently: "As for mother, it doesn't matter whether she stays or not. Just raise the children with Li Niang."
As Old Lady Su spoke, she glanced coldly at Yu Niang. What a fool! If she had followed the rules in private, she could have been carried into the mansion.
But now Yu Niang deliberately took advantage of the fact that outsiders were breaking in, thinking that she could stay by being clever. She was really naive!
"Why are you still standing there? Drag him away!"
Madam Su gave orders to the servants in a deep voice.
Yu Niang was dragged away crying and screaming, and Qinglan Courtyard suddenly became quiet.
Seeing Madam Su act so decisively and the woman being dragged away and sold, Shen's feverish mind finally calmed down. She immediately stood up and walked over to Madam Su, saying flatteringly, "Mother, you really do love your daughter-in-law."
"Zhuang'er, I've watched you grow up, so I won't let anyone get ahead of you." Old Madam Su took the opportunity to grab Shen's hand and comforted her, "But now you're the mistress of the Su family. You should prioritize the Su Mansion. The Su Mansion is currently going through a difficult time, and it's a time to reveal a person's true character. I hope you and Jian'er can unite and overcome this difficult time together."
Old Madam Su grabbed Su Jian's hand and placed it together with Shen's hand.
Su Jian and Shen looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.
But in the end, the estrangement of the past few days was resolved.
Madam Su withdrew her hand and looked at the couple. "Ms. Shen, mother knows that you have worked hard in the Su Mansion over the years, but now the capital is full of suspicion and the court is in turmoil. Even mother has to break her rules and speak. Only when the Su family is doing well can we help the Yue family in the future."
Su Jixue looked at Old Madam Su with a half-smile. She was really good at brainwashing people. This guy looked so much like Zong Kui.
Could it really be Ji Xue’s mother?
This mouth alone is as sharp as a blade.
At this moment, Shen's eyes were indeed moistened by what Old Madam Su said, and her anger had long since disappeared.
Shen's hand and Su Jian's hand were tightly clasped together under their sleeves, and the warm palms warmed their previously cold hearts.
Su Mo looked at the scene in front of him coldly, feeling it was ironic and funny.
This family is really good at acting.
As I was acting, I even started to believe it myself.
He coughed twice and was about to interrupt the tenderness between them, but at this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside.
"Master, Butler Liu committed suicide!" Chen Fu rushed in from outside with a panicked look on his face.
Suicide?
Su Mo laughed out loud in anger: "I came to arrest a criminal, and he committed suicide. I just don't know whether it was suicide or murder to silence him!"
"Master Su, Butler Liu really committed suicide!" Chen Fu shouted outside, "Why don't you bring him here quickly!"
After shouting, Chen Fu bowed and said to Su Mo, "Master Su, you are the master of the Five Cities Military Department. You naturally know the difference between suicide and murder. When you see the dead body later, you will know whether Butler Liu committed suicide or not."
Chen Fu looked confident.
Looking at his appearance, Su Mo knew that everything had been arranged. He put his hands behind his back and ordered his men, "Examine Butler Liu's body later!"
At this moment, the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion were already carrying the body of Butler Liu. Butler Liu had committed suicide by slashing his throat with such force that his neck was nearly severed. It was a very horrifying sight.
The coroner from the Wucheng Bingmasi also examined the body carefully.
With just one glance, Su Jixue was sure that Butler Liu had committed suicide. The blade he used to cut his own throat was different from those used to kill others. Su Jixue, who had killed countless people, naturally knew this.
And it is impossible for the Prime Minister's Mansion to leave such a handle.
Sure enough, the coroner soon reported to Su Mo that Butler Liu had committed suicide.
When Su Jian heard the words of the coroner from the Wucheng Bingmasi, he breathed a sigh of relief and gave Chen Fu a look of approval.
Chen Fu handled this matter properly.
When a person dies, it is like a light going out. The so-called guilt can no longer be proven.
That would make it impossible to prove that the Prime Minister's Mansion was involved in this matter.
Su Mo's face was covered with gloom, and he stared at the wound on Butler Liu's neck. Su Mo could also see that Butler Liu had indeed committed suicide.
The clue is broken.
