Chapter 372: Old Kang only cares about money
Su Qingwan looked at Liu, who had been beaten, with sympathy and shook her head regretfully.
Her words were meant to sow discord between Liu and Su Yunrou. It didn't matter whether it would succeed or not, but it would be enough to create a slight rift between the two of them. It didn't matter if there was no rift at all, after all, she still had the trump card in her hand, and she was just waiting to send Liu to her death so that she could kill him and destroy his heart.
"Su Qingwan, stop accusing me. I have never stolen any fabric." Su Yunrou covered her forehead with her hands, and bright red blood seeped out from between her fingers. She looked miserable and pitiful.
She glared at Su Qingwan fiercely, her eyes full of resentment.
Su Qingwan sighed and shook her head, looking at her with a slightly frowned brow.
"Second sister, when the evidence is irrefutable, please stop covering it up. In fact, we are still a family. Even if you like the piece of fabric I gave to fifth sister, you don't have to steal it. You can just tell me. This time my aunt gave me a lot of fabrics, and I can just pick one out for you."
"It's just that things have turned out like this now. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have given the cloth to my fifth sister. You two got hurt for nothing."
Su Qingwan said this with great sadness, but looking at the injured mother and daughter, she did not think of finding a doctor to check on them. She just let one of them lie on the ground with a bruised face and nose, and the other with blood gushing from her forehead.
Nanny Zhou wanted to call a doctor, but since Su Qingwan was still here, she didn't dare leave.
Fortunately, Su Qingwan didn't stay long. After sighing a little, she led Aunt Rong and others who had seen enough of the excitement away.
As soon as she left, Mrs. Liu in the room started cursing, but Su Qingwan pretended not to hear.
"Go and get the doctor, quickly!" Su Yunrou was more concerned about the wound on her head. The important thing now was to deal with it quickly. As for the people from the second house and Su Qingwan, she would not let them go.
After coming out of Tinglan Courtyard, Su Qingwan was in high spirits and in a very good mood.
Aunt Rong was also following her in high spirits, still talking about the fight that had just taken place.
"I didn't notice it. Both Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Xiaokang were very cruel. They beat each other's daughter until she bled. But Su Lihan suffered more. I saw that her wound seemed to be more serious after being scratched."
"Yes, and it stinks. I almost vomited!" Coral thought of the smell she just smelled and couldn't help but make a vomiting gesture again.
"Xiao Kang also beat Su Yunrou to a bloody pulp this time, so we should consider them even, right?"
The old woman of the Zhao family made a wild guess. She just saw it and felt itchy, and wanted to go up and show off her power, but this matter had nothing to do with their third branch, and she had no reason to do so!
"I don't know about that. It depends on what the two aunts think." Su Qingwan smiled. The harder they fight, the better. It would be exciting if they could send each other to the grave one day!
She brought people back to Helin Courtyard. Jiang had been waiting for them to come back. When she saw Su Qingwan come in, she quickly pulled her to sit next to her and asked, "What's the situation?"
Jiang didn't know the details yet. She only knew that Xiaokang went to Tinglanyuan to settle accounts with Liu. She thought that Xiaokang was angry about her son's death and went to make trouble with Liu again.
Su Qingwan briefly recounted the incident and also mentioned the injuries of Su Yunrou and Su Lihan.
"Why has it become like this? It's just a piece of cloth. If Su Yunrou wants it, she can just ask you for it. Why would she steal it?"
Jiang sighed endlessly. After all, she was a daughter of a marquis, but she actually did such a shameless thing. It was really embarrassing.
No!
She had to remind people not to spread this matter, so as not to affect Qingwan's reputation.
"Aunt Rong, please keep an eye on the words of the servants in the Marquis's mansion. If you hear anyone spreading gossip, bring them to me directly." Jiang said.
Aunt Rong nodded immediately. She knew that Jiang was taking care of this matter for Su Qingwan's own good.
Su Qingwan naturally understood it better. She laughed and thought for a moment before saying, "Mother, Fifth Sister is seriously injured this time. I don't think the doctor can cure her injury. If Second Aunt asks you to hire another doctor, remember to promise her."
"Okay, she can invite anyone she wants at that time. After all, she is here to treat Su Lihan, and I won't stop her." Jiang said with a smile.
If Xiaokang came to her for medical treatment, it meant that she wanted the public treasury to give money to her daughter's treatment. Jiang would naturally not stop her from doing so, but there was only so much money left in the public treasury. If it was not enough, she could just tell the old marquis and old Kang.
Jiang Shi had never thought of using the money from the third house to subsidize the expenses of the public treasury. Now the Marquis' Mansion was a bottomless pit, and it would never be filled no matter how much money was poured into it. So she simply decided not to set this precedent, and only the money from the public treasury would be used to subsidize the expenses of the public treasury.
The mother and daughter continued chatting, while Old Mrs. Kang and Nanny Xu had already returned to Rong'an Hall.
Old Mrs. Kang looked at the empty small table. These days, her life was very dull, without even a piece of vegetable or fruit. Thinking back on her life, it was quite glorious. Even when she was a concubine, she had never been so miserable and penurious.
"The third room wants to torture me to death."
The more Old Kang thought about it, the angrier he became. Going out today made his already tired body even more uncomfortable.
"By the way, Madam Xu, are you sure that bitch Su Qingwan is using all the things you gave her? It seems like she's been using them for quite some time, why is there no reaction yet?"
Old Mrs. Kang sighed. She was just waiting for that bitch Su Qingwan to lose her mind, so that the money from the third room could be back in her hands.
"I saw it clearly, it is indeed being used."
Aunt Xu also looked confused and couldn't explain it.
"Let's wait and see. We can't find any other chance to fight back right now. The Third House is surrounded like an iron barrel."
Old Mrs. Kang sighed. She needed to get some money right away. She didn't want to live this miserable life any longer.
What she didn't expect was that the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion was still worried about her livelihood at such an old age. If this news got out, people would laugh their heads off.
"Madam Xu, this cloth is too tender. I can't use it. You can pawn it." Old Mrs. Kang didn't have much money left, which made her very uneasy.
Aunt Xu looked at Old Kang in embarrassment and said, "Madam, I'm afraid you won't be able to get much money from pawning it. Look at this cloth, it's stained with dirt and it still smells bad."
She showed the cloth to old Mrs. Kang and saw that the brand new cloth was splattered with many black and brown stains in large patches, which was very distressing to look at.
Mr. Kang was unconvinced and pulled the cloth aside to see that the stain had already penetrated into the layers below.
Seeing this, Old Kang's face suddenly darkened in embarrassment.
"What bad luck!"
It is obvious that this cloth is of good quality, but the people who can afford to buy and use such good cloth are all dignitaries. These people are very particular. If it is a new cloth, they may accept it, but if it is stained, they probably won't even look at it. This piece of cloth will be considered ruined.
"Or I can send the cloth to the laundry room and have it washed." Nanny Xu said again.
Old Kang waved her hands and said, "Don't bother. This cloth can't be sold after washing. Forget it! And have you forgotten that we don't have a laundry room in our mansion? That bitch Jiang let those people out of the mansion."
Nanny Xu only remembered it after she finished speaking. Who could have thought that the Third Madam would be so decisive and actually sent away almost all the servants who did the heavy work.
Now that the time is still short, there is no obvious problem, but after a few days, there will be trouble.
Old Mrs. Kang looked at the cloth and felt unhappy. Neither of her two daughters-in-law cared about her, and Mrs. Jiang was even more vicious.
"Take the cloth with you, and let's go see the old marquis."
Now I can't control Jiang, but the old marquis can always control her. This time the second and third rooms had trouble, it was all because of the third room's fabric!
