Chapter 221: The Fall of the Hou Mansion

Su Baozhu and Zhou Xun soon "rekindled their old relationship", and they couldn't care about the predicament of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion for a while.

Fortunately, with the fall of Cui Xiang, all actions against the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion have disappeared, although their family has had a hard time ahead, but without the Cui family's target, the following days will be better.

The Wang family did not get comfort from her most beloved little daughter, and gradually found that the other party seemed to be deliberately alienating the Hou Mansion, and she felt sad and unwilling at the same time.

Obviously, she brought her to the capital, gave her the dignity of Miss Houfu, and helped her abandon her own daughter, but after she became the daughter-in-law of Shangshufu, she didn't want to repay herself at all, but regarded Houfu as a burden.

Wang couldn't help but talk about his little daughter's badness in the house every day, complaining about her cruelty.

Su Zhongli, who had already returned from finding the results from the countryside, didn't care about this, he had been away from the Hou Mansion for so long, he had also suffered a lot on the way to find the truth, experienced a lot of people and things, and was no longer the reckless and ignorant young man he used to be.

Along the way, he met an old wise man, a woman of great foresight. After Su Zhongli met the other party, he couldn't help but tell the other party what happened at home after all.

After hearing everything, the wise man pondered for a moment and said, "If what happened to your two sisters is just an accident, then both of them are victims who should not be blamed, but the children who stay in your house may have received a gift of fate, but they should not harbor malice towards her because of their faults. The outcast child deserves your love and care, so that the love and dignity she once lost can fill her vacant life. ”

"But if it all comes from the selfish desires of others, not accidents. Then these two children who have been maliciously swapped should not live together. Whoever is the beneficiary of this matter, when it is revealed, they will only be on both sides of the scale. Strangeness and fear of the future will consume them, and the voices of those around them will pierce their self-esteem again and again. ”

"Even if both of them are tolerant and kind to each other, the people around them will force them to compare themselves and push them to be hostile to each other. In that kind of environment, as long as they are in a world, they must distinguish between a superior and a superior, and they must have a strong and weak. This is something they can't change on their own. ”

"If in the process, your parents can't balance the relationship between their two daughters and can't balance the bowl of water, then one of them will eventually fall into madness."

The old lady's voice echoed in Su Zhongli's mind for a long time, and he had to start facing everything that happened after Su Hengyu returned home.

He "watched" the past scenes in his mind again, and this time he finally thoroughly tasted his parents' contempt for Su Hengyu, his brother's contempt for Su Hengyu, his sister's malice and rejection of Su Hengyu, and ...... His own neglect and indifference to Su Hengyu.

He finally understood why Su Hengyu wanted to leave the Hou Mansion so resolutely after he had an illness.

She wasn't playing with her temper, nor did she want to use this to go against her mother and little sister, she was really heartbroken, so she decided to stay away from the Hou Mansion and the family by the way.

After being confused by the old lady's words, Su Zhongli did not choose to return to Beijing, he continued to go towards the village where Su Hengyu was brought, and after a lot of hardships, he finally found the family.

He learned from the villagers what kind of life his sister used to live, she didn't even have a serious name, and was always called "Erya, Erya".

When she wanted a name, the family jokingly called her "Zhaodi".

She was still so young, but at the age of twelve she was going to be sold to a fool to be a lady.

And all this shouldn't have been endured by her, it was the couple who deliberately swapped her!

Yes, Su Zhongli finally asked the truth from these two people and knew the truth about the child being replaced.

It turned out that they didn't want their newborn second daughter, because the other party didn't look healthy enough, as if they couldn't support it.

got the truth, Su Zhongli unceremoniously sent the two to the official mansion.

In the end, he is the son of the Hou Mansion, even if the name of the Marquis of Zhongyong can't do anything in the capital, but in the county government in this remote place, he is already very capable of bluffing people.

Both husband and wife were punished and put in prison, and soon after they were to be sent to the border.

After doing all this, Su Zhongli returned home, and at this time, the farce at home had begun, and Su Hengyu also took over the burden and went to Nanyi City.

Su Zhongli later learned everything that happened at home after he left.

From his dislike for his father's injustice to Su Hengyu at the beginning, he slowly calmed down later. He knew very well that the contradictions between the two sides were completely irreconcilable.

Su Baozhu is their good daughter, Su Hengyu can't compare, so just don't let her continue to be dragged down by this eccentric "family".

Su Zhongli, who saw these clearly, never went to Su Hengyu again, just as there was no such person in this world.

Why should those who have broken free from the mud be pulled back again?

After so much, he also saw the true colors of everyone in the family, he no longer cherished his family, and he also knew that the entire Hou Mansion would be left to his eldest brother in the future.

He had no intention of fighting and began to find a way out on his own.

The decline of the Hou Mansion is inevitable, if he doesn't cheer up again, I'm afraid he will really not be able to support himself in the future.

He didn't have much talent for reading, so he wanted to learn to do business.

Fortunately, he had saved some silver money in the past, so he took advantage of the boom of trade in the Great Wei Dynasty and started a spice business.

This business is not easy to do, he didn't have enough principal at first, and it was the third Su Jiwen who lent him the money he had saved, so that he slowly developed.

There are more and more types of spices in Dawei, and he himself is from a noble background, and he is also well-informed, although he will not configure these spices, he will also appreciate them. After cooperating with a few more reliable caravans, he slowly walked out of his own way.

Later, his business gradually began to get on the right track, and Su Zhongli found Su Jiwen to study in a college in Jiangnan with a good academic style.

Emperor Wei did not like the Hou Mansion, but fortunately, he did not prohibit the children of the nobles from taking the imperial examination.

If Su Jiwen has that ability, he may really be able to enter the imperial examination in the future. Both brothers are very smart people, and after seeing their current situation, they learned to work hard.

Originally, they were living a good life, until one day, they received a letter from home, which was a shameful and angry cry from their mother Wang: their sister Su Baozhu had an affair with Zhou Xun, and was caught by Zhou Xun's wife, and she had already made trouble at the house of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

Shangshu's side was very angry, as if they wanted to target the Hou Mansion.

The Wang couple couldn't resist each other's anger and hoped that their son would come back to help.

By the way, they have already called Su Hengyu back and asked her to keep her wealth.

Seeing this last sentence, the brothers were immediately stunned, and then they didn't care about anything else, packed their luggage and rushed to the capital overnight, and now they happened to collide with Su Hengyu, who was about to come to the door.
