Chapter 19
"Miss, something is wrong!" Steward Zhu hurriedly found Su Nianjin, who was patrolling the store, "The eldest young master, he.. He hanged himself at the gate of the ancestral house of Su Zhai! ”
“————!!!” Su Nianjin's head went blank, "Say it again!" ”
"The eldest young master, he.." Steward Zhu was in tears, crying silently, "He hanged himself at the gate of the ancestral house of the Su Mansion!"
…….
When Su Nianjin ran to the ancestral house of the Su Mansion like crazy, Su Nianyun's body had already been let down by Mrs. Su. Of course, the surrounding people surrounded the gate of the Su Mansion, and they all pointed to the people in the ancestral house of the Su Mansion. "Old Madam Su is really ruthless, in order to seize wealth, she actually forced her own grandson to death!"
"No, in order to seize wealth, he also spread rumors about his daughter-in-law and grandson, which is really a loss of conscience!"
The surrounding spectators were talking one after another, and Mrs. Su's face was panicked.
"Mother, what to do with the corpse of this Su Nianyun's little rabbit cub?" Su Niankang really didn't know how to deal with this kind of scene, so he came to Mrs. Su to ask for help. "This second brother doesn't know how to do it, such a big thing happened at home, and none of the people in the second room showed up!"
"When did you still say that you had some of these things!" Old Madam Su was upset, "Don't hurry up and bring Su Nianyun's evil seed into the mansion!" ”
"Brought into the house?" Su Youkang muttered in his heart, leaned into Mrs. Su's ear and whispered, "Mother, Su Nianyun is dead, and he has so many grievances against us, will it give us bad luck when he is brought into the mansion!" "Su Youkang is very incompetent, so he is very superstitious about demons and monsters.
"If you don't carry him into the house, won't it be possible for these onlookers to drown us with a mouthful of foam stars?" Old Madam Su glared at Su Youkang, "You move faster, it's a big deal to invite a senior monk to come to the house to do bad luck!" The surrounding discussion was so loud that even Old Madam Su, who was as thick-skinned as a city wall, blushed.
"Yes!" Su Youkang saw that Mrs. Su was angry, so he hurriedly commanded his subordinates to move Su Nianyun.
"Don't touch him!" Su Nianjin, who ran to Su Nianyun's side, pushed away the subordinates of Su Zhai's ancestral house and held him in his arms, "Big brother! Eldest brother! Wake up! Open your eyes! ”
She was very sad and couldn't understand why her eldest brother would do such a stupid thing. She kept shaking Su Nianyun, hoping that he would open his eyes and tell him that it was just a dream.
Su Nianjin's gaffe made Old Madam Su sneer, this little girl came at the right time, "Nianjin, what kind of blow did your eldest brother suffer?" How could you not think of hanging yourself? He is really, knowing that his grandmother needs him to take care of her when she is old, and he is so selfish and irresponsible and walks away... He deliberately wants me to bear the pain of losing my grandson, and the white-haired man sends the black-haired man! ”
In Quzhou's customs, it is considered unfilial piety not to send the elders to the end, or to let the elders experience the pain of the white-haired people sending the black-haired people. And what everyone is accustomed to is that even if the elder has a big mistake, as long as you are her junior, you must accommodate her, otherwise you will be pointed at by the people around you. This is almost a customary rule in the entire Great Xia Kingdom, but the closer this rule is to the capital, the less elaborate it is.
Of course, everyone is also very indignant about the unkindness of the elderly, but after a long time, everyone will use a particularly tolerant attitude to tolerate those unkind elderly. And the reason to persuade everyone is not that he raised you so big, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, you are an old man, you don't have a few years to live, and you can endure these words.
Mrs. Su is an elder, as long as she uses filial piety as a rhetoric, Su Nianjin can't do anything about her. And what she cares about most now is to stop everyone's mouth and the property left by Su Youshun.
Su Nianjin didn't pay attention to her, but quietly hugged Su Nianyun and didn't let go. She is a person who is eager to control her emotions, but recent events have made her lose her temper in front of everyone repeatedly. Tears poured out of her eyes, even ruining her delicate makeup.
"Su Nianjin! I'll talk to you! Old Madam Su scolded loudly, "Even if Su Nianyun is dead, I am also your grandmother, and you haven't said a word to me since you came here, isn't it too rude?!" Alas! I said a long time ago that you can't let that unruly Bai family raise you, look at what she teaches you now! One by one, they are neither filial piety nor rules! ”
"Old Madam Su!" Su Nianjin turned her head to look at the people in the ancestral house of Su Zhai, "Nianjin respects you as an elder, so she will let your many inappropriate remarks go. But my mother's behavior is not inappropriate at all, my eldest brother is also an excellent young man with both ability and political integrity, not to mention that he has been forced to death by you, you are still slandering him, is it too much to deceive people! ”
Su Nianjin asked Steward Zhu to carry Su Nianyun's body to the carriage, he was lying on the ground too cold, and she wanted to take him home.
"What did I force him to death? Don't talk nonsense, you little girl! "Mrs. Su doesn't have much education, and she was provoked by Su Nianjin's words to scold the street!" He was originally a sinful seed, and I was merciful if I didn't drown him. You don't know how to be grateful, and you still run to my door and shout, it's really unfilial. Like you, a woman who has been divorced, and you are so unruly, you deserve to be so old that you can't say that you are married! Old Madam Su's eyes were shining, and she seemed to be telling Su Nianjin: If you want to fight with me, you are still a little tender.
Su Nianjin chuckled, "Old Madam Su, are you too self-righteous?" Not to mention that my eldest brother is the eldest son and grandson of our Su family, whether my eldest brother is a sinister breed or not has to be judged by our Su family? You are an outsider, why do you criticize our family affairs! ”
"You ——!" Old Madam Su looked at Su Nianjin in shock, "You ungrateful unscrupulous descendant, don't you even recognize me as a grandmother?" ”
"Tsk! Grandmother?! Su Nianjin said sarcastically, "Old Madam Su, you said you are my grandmother?" What evidence do you have? ”
"Evidence..?" Old Madam Su's face turned sideways, "A discerning person knows that we are a family at a glance, and do you still need evidence?" ”
"Not necessarily!" Su Nianjin frowned angrily, "Since I can remember, every time I come to visit, I have been turned away, but your porter said, Old Madam Su, you don't see outsiders." Which family would treat each other like this? Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about your genealogy! As long as there is the name of my father, my mother, my brother and my brother on it, I will recognize this family! ”
"You ——!" Old Madam Su is running out of words, how can this dead girl even know so clearly that there are no names on the family tree?
