Chapter 162 The Su Family, Each with Their Own Motives
Su Jian's face became even uglier. What Nanny Su said made him realize what he had missed out on when he let Su Mingyue take the credit instead of Su Jixue.
He has always had complicated emotions towards Su Jixue.
This was the child that was taken back from Ji Xue. Ji Xue did not tell him who the child belonged to, but she let Su Jian know how important this child was.
Su Jixue's existence is actually reminding Su Jian what he was like in the past.
Ji Xue has disappeared for nearly two years now. The political situation in Nanqing is complicated, which is why Su Jian gradually stopped caring about Su Jixue.
So when Shen said that Su Mingyue had received favors from the Princess's Mansion, Su Jian chose to agree.
He did selectively ignore the value that Su Jixue had always possessed. She once had a deep admiration for him as a father. But as time went by and circumstances changed, they eventually drifted apart.
A unique female doctor is of great benefit to the Su family.
The light in Su Jian's eyes changed. It had nothing to do with Su Jixue's identity as the daughter of the Su family, but her own value.
After all, it was rumored that the One-Handed Ghost Doctor was Su Jixue's master, who was ranked number one on the Heavenly Doctor Rankings. Based on this alone, Su Jixue was unique among the six nations.
Su Jian admitted that he was indeed not thoughtful enough in what happened back then.
My mother was right, I was indeed blind.
Nanny Su's words not only made Su Jian start to reflect on himself, but also emphasized Shen and Su Mingyue.
Su Mingyue lowered her head and bit her lip. Hatred surged in her heart. What did it mean that she had to pay the price?
Who is Su Jixue? She has everything now just because of the title of the eldest daughter of the Su family.
She is now engaged to the King of War, so why is she still obsessed with the matter with Lu Jing?
Especially Madam Su, she should just stay at the farm. Why did she come back at this time? Why did she come back and speak inexplicably to the Su family to seek justice?
It is true that the old man who refuses to die is a thief!
Shen's face also became extremely ugly. Every word that Su Ma said seemed to be pointing at her nose and scolding her for being partial to the mistress.
Su Jixue is sentimental, which has always been the reason why Shen family has been able to control Su Jixue.
But why should Shen be nice to Su Jixue?
If it weren't for Su Jixue, how could Su Mingyue be sent away since she was young? In order to protect this child, Mingyue was forced to be sent away.
She is a mother, there is nothing wrong with being partial to her own children.
Su Jixue is a bastard!
But now Madam Su clearly wanted to stand up for Su Jixue, and the situation was stronger than she was, so she could only endure it for the time being.
Let’s wait and see after Su Jixue comes back!
"Ms. Shen, you are the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion. You decide how to punish Su Mingyue." Nanny Su's gaze finally fell on Ms. Shen, asking her to express her opinion.
If Su Mingyue is not punished now, Su Jixue will never be able to get rid of his anger, which will be detrimental to the Su family.
Su Mingyue's body stiffened.
Shen's brows knitted unconsciously, and she spoke slowly, "Mother, then punish Mingyue by making her kneel in the ancestral hall and then reflect on herself in the side courtyard."
Old Madam Su frowned slightly, and looked at Shen with dissatisfaction in her eyes. Her fingers wrote on Madam Su's back.
Nanny Su also frowned and looked at Shen with dissatisfaction: "Kneel in the ancestral hall? If you have to kneel, kneel in the eldest lady's yard. What's the point of kneeling in the ancestral hall?!"
"Second Miss, please go to the eldest lady's Qinglan Courtyard and kneel down!"
"Now?" Shen was stunned. "Didn't Su Jixue come back at night?"
"You can kneel at the gate of Prince Zhan's mansion, but you can't kneel at the Su family?" Nanny Su said disdainfully, "Madam went to pick up the Second Young Miss before. If the Second Young Miss doesn't want to atone for her sins, then she can continue to atone for her sins at the Su family."
Su Mingyue looked up pitifully at Madam Su, then looked at Shen: "Mother, this is what Mingyue deserves. As long as my sister can vent her anger, Mingyue is willing to do anything!"
"It's the best that the second young lady has this intention. Wait for the eldest young lady to come back and see what she says. If the eldest young lady doesn't forgive the second young lady, then the second young lady will have to continue to apologize!" Nanny Su said coldly.
Shen hesitated to speak, still unable to resist the urge to speak up for Su Mingyue, but Su Ce spoke first: "Madam Su, that's inevitable. Mingyue made a big mistake this time, so she is naturally to blame."
Su Ce winked at Shen, telling her not to get involved. Then he looked at Su Mingyue coldly, "Mingyue, this matter involves the safety of the Crown Prince. If Jixue can't vent her anger and refuses to treat the Crown Prince, the Princess will definitely blame the Su family."
"You must understand the responsibility you bear. Go and kneel down."
Su Ce's expression was cold, and he had no intention of defending Su Mingyue. He even deliberately mentioned the thing that Su Mingyue cared about most, so that she could realize the importance of seeking Su Jixue's forgiveness.
Su Mingyue looked at Su Ce, her heart sinking. She knew that what happened in front of Prince Zhan's mansion had caused Su Ce to become estranged from her, but how could kneeling in front of Prince Zhan's mansion be the same as kneeling in the Su family?
In front of the Prince Zhan’s mansion, the Prince Zhan will know about it, and there will also be onlookers.
But in the Su family, only the Su family members knew about it, only Su Jixue could see it, and who knew the grievances she had suffered.
But due to the situation, Su Mingyue nodded seriously: "Mingyue knows her mistake. Now go to my sister's yard and kneel down. I must let my sister know Mingyue's sincerity."
Su Mingyue said this and stood up gracefully. She bowed to the old lady, Su Jian, Shen, and Su Ce before leaving.
Shen took a deep breath, feeling a pang of pain as she watched Su Mingyue's back, but she held back and didn't stop. After Su Mingyue disappeared, Shen knelt before the old lady and said, "Mother, my great-grandfather and the Zhuang family are in trouble now. Please, for the sake of our old friendship and our in-laws, lend a hand."
Shen came back from the Shen family just for this. If Old Madam Su agrees, Su Jian will definitely take action instead of making excuses like he did in the past.
Old Madam Su and the Zhuang family were old friends, otherwise the Su family would not have been prominent at the time, and the marriage between the Su family and the Shen family would not have been possible.
One of Zhuang's reasons was that Su Jian was a young talent, and the other was that his mother-in-law was Old Madam Su, who would definitely not make things difficult for Shen.
The Zhuang family is in trouble now. If Old Madam Su is willing to use the Su family's resources to help, they will have a better chance of winning in the court tomorrow.
"Shen Zhuang, you should know whose daughter-in-law you are now." Nanny Su said on behalf of Old Madam Su, "The matter of the Zhuang family has not yet been concluded, but this matter is of great importance."
"As the mistress of the Su family, you must also consider the Su family's position. If the Su family takes action, they will stand on the opposite side of the War King, and it will be even more difficult to speak for the Zhuang family."
"No one knows what the Holy Spirit is going to do now, so we must always have a backup plan."
Shen stiffened her neck when she heard this: "So, mother is going to sit back and watch?!"
"Just for a marriage contract with a marquis, if you lose the bigger picture because of a small thing, and cause Jixue and the Su family to become estranged, you will be the sinners of the Su family!"
"If you can't calm Jixue down this time,
