At this time, Su Chengye didn't look as handsome and elegant as usual, but rather like a Rakshasa crawling out of the boundless hell.
Seeing that the person asking the question was the old lady, Su Chengye suppressed the coldness on his face and said: "Mother, I saw her having a private meeting with other men in bed. For so many years, she has been plotting against me and the Su family."
"If I don't kill her today, it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in my heart."
Su Chengye finished speaking word by word, raised his hand and whipped it again.
Seeing that Gu Ruoyun stopped screaming, he ordered the boy next to him, "Splash water, splash pepper water."
A basin of red water was thrown directly on Gu Ruoyun.
"ah."
The miserable sound echoed through the sky again, and Shaohua Hall became the torture hall of hell.
After the old lady got Su Chengye's answer, she stopped trying to persuade her. No man wants to be a cuckold, and from what Su Chengye said, there should be something else involved.
Now that things were like this, the old lady turned around and walked out of Shaohua Hall while twirling her prayer beads.
Seeing this, everyone followed Lu and left one after another.
The nurse holding Su Yuanche didn't know what to do, so she could only take the child to the back to rest.
Su Qingyu was the last one to leave. Before leaving, she took a deep look at the bloody gourd-like person hanging in the yard.
On the way back, Su Qingyu felt as if a big stone had been removed from her chest, and her whole body felt relaxed.
In the evening, Pearl went to the big kitchen to get the food. When she came back, she was setting the meal and said, "When I was getting the food, I met Cuimei from Furong Garden. Only then did I know that Aunt Xue took the money, ordered a table of big dishes, and asked the big kitchen to help Done."
"Whose birthday is it in Furong Garden today?"
Su Qingyu had just cleaned her hands, and Amber was helping her apply rose-scented hand polish on them.
The light aroma made people feel happy. Su Qingyu said with a smile: "Aunt Xue is going to celebrate that the eldest brother has become the heir to the Hou family. This huge family fortune is about to be acquired. What's the point of eating some good food?"
Pearl was a little unhappy, snorted and said, "God is so cruel, it would be great if our wife gave birth to a legitimate son."
Jade hurriedly said: "You can't say such things in front of Madam." After thinking about it, she added, "Our young lady must have already made up her mind. If nothing else, the position of the heir apparent must be reserved for our real eldest young master. On."
"We can't get him back. The title of the Marquis is gone."
Su Qingyu sat down at the table, took a sip of soup first, and then said: "Jade is right, the title of the Marquis Mansion cannot be taken by others."
"These days, you should be more alert when walking around the house. If there is any news in Shaohua Hall and Furong Garden, please come and tell me in time."
Several maids agreed, and Su Qingyu sat down and started to eat in peace.
Today's rice tasted better than usual, and she had half a bowl more rice than usual.
Early the next morning, while Su Qingyu was still sleeping, she was woken up by Jade.
"Miss, wake up quickly, something happened at Shaohua Hall."
Su Qingyu opened her eyes with force. Because she was not awake yet, her voice was a little softer than usual.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
It couldn't be that her father who couldn't understand what he was doing could forgive Gu Ruoyun again, right?
She really didn't want to get up. She was so excited last night that she didn't fall asleep until early in the morning.
Then I heard Jade say: "Miss, Mrs. Yun is dead. She was beaten to death by the Marquis."
Su Qingyu hummed, she expected this.
If Su Chengye couldn't get rid of that ruthless hand, she would have to make up for it.
Jade continued: "The fourth young master is also dead. He was covered to death by the Marquis."
"Now the old lady is discussing with the Marquis how to mourn."
Su Qingyu's brain, which had been confused just now, suddenly became clear, and she suddenly sat up from the bed.
"Covered to death?" She asked again.
Jade nodded, "Master Hou took the baby away in the middle of the night. By the time the wet nurse found out, it was already cold."
Su Qingyu was stunned for a while, and then she said, "It's better to go, so as not to suffer the consequences of being alive."
Pearl walked in holding clothes. It was a plain moon skirt and a light-colored double-breasted short jacket.
Su Qingyu glanced at it and said: "Bring me the red gold jacket with embroidered lotus petals and branches all over the skirt, and the cloak with the red cloud brocade and peacock pattern that the third master gave me."
Pearl hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss, after all, someone died in the house. Is it okay to dress like this?"
Pearl doesn't care what the dead man thinks. But she was afraid that others would say that her young lady was unruly and too ostentatious.
Su Qingyu didn't care, and said with a smile: "I'm not going to die like this."
"According to what I said, if a shameful concubine dies, do I still have to wrap her up in sackcloth and show her mourning?"
By the time Pearl had prepared her clothes according to Su Qingyu's instructions, Su Qingyu had already put on her makeup and hairpins.
Dressed in a bright and festive outfit, it doesn't look like there is a death in the house, but it looks like there is a happy event going on.
As usual, she went to Songhe Hall on time to pay her respects to the old lady.
Su Zhong, the steward, couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he saw Su Qingyu dressed in bright red.
Xin said that she had never seen the eldest lady dressed so festively on weekdays. No matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like she was going to have a funeral.
When Su Qingyu saw Su Zhong coming from the direction of Songhe Hall, she asked, "Where are you going, Uncle Zhong, in such a hurry?"
Su Zhong stopped and said, "In response to the eldest lady, the Marquis has asked me to arrange the funeral ceremonies for Mrs. Yun and the Fourth Young Master. I am going to the accountant to collect money and buy things."
The two men died suddenly, and there was still a lot to buy. After Su Zhong finished speaking, he planned to walk towards the outer courtyard.
Su Qingyu stopped the person and said, "Wait, don't go. Just take a piece of grass, sweep it up, and bury it at the foot of the Western Mountain."
Su Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then said in embarrassment: "Miss, you can't do this. The Marquis personally ordered it. If I don't do it, the Marquis won't blame me."
"Master Hou said, this is related to the face of the Hou Mansion."
Su Qingyu sneered, "Face? Does the Hou Mansion still have face now? I won't embarrass you, I'll go tell my father right away. Just wait here. Even if you go to the accounting office, you can't spend a cent." Two pieces of silver."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and entered Songhe Hall.
Su Zhong didn't dare to move and could only wait outside for news. It is up to the masters to decide how to handle this funeral.
When Su Qingyu entered, the old lady was talking to Su Chengye.
"The person is already dead, and he must still be given the dignity he deserves. This is also to give dignity to the Hou family."
Su Chengye said "yes" and said no more.
The old lady continued: "No matter what is said outside, as long as we don't admit it, it's just a rumor. No matter how casually you organize a funeral, this matter will be over."
"In my opinion, not only can this funeral not be simple, it needs to be bigger."
Yesterday, the story of Su Chengye catching an adulterer was already spreading in the capital. At this time, Gu Ruoyun and the child died, and any fool could guess what happened.
The old lady was busy thinking about how to maintain the Su family's dignity.
Su Qingyu signaled Jade to lift the curtain, and she walked in with a cold expression on her face.
Han Sheng said: "I don't agree."
