Chapter 353 The Old Prince Comes to Collect Debts
"Meet the old marquis, meet the old lady!"
All the younger generations saluted to the two of them.
The old marquis looked at the people from the third room in front of him and sighed secretly. Of the couple from the first room, only Su Yunrou was left, but she had already been destined to be the concubine of Prince Rui.
From now on, if King Rui is well, she will be well too;
If Prince Rui is not well, not only will she not be well, but she may even bring trouble to the Marquis' Mansion.
Just thinking about this made the old marquis feel upset.
The only heir of the second house is Su Lihan, and her face is injured, so it is unknown whether her color will recover in the future.
If the loss is great, it will be difficult to find a good husband's family.
The people in the third room are all in good order. Su Yuewen and Su Yuewu look very healthy. Su Qingwan is also very good, but she looks more and more like Li.
Old Mrs. Kang was also looking at the people from the third house, but the more she looked, the more painful her heart became.
All her grandchildren are dead!
However, the short-lived grandson of Li is living well, and he looks tall and graceful, and is no worse than her Yue Jie and Yue Qi.
How could this not make her sad?
Old Mrs. Kang closed her eyes and felt that the people from the third room were extremely annoying.
But when she looked at her two sons, she became even angrier. Both of them looked like they were in a daze, fiddling with something, and had completely lost their former energy and spirit.
"Everyone, sit down!"
The old marquis raised his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.
He really wanted to see his children and grandchildren today, so he called them all over.
Su Qingwan helped Jiang sit down, and the others also took their seats.
"Dad, did you call us here to talk about something?" Su Zhiwen asked with a yawn.
At this point in time, he was almost ready to become a god, and he didn't want to listen to any more nonsense from the old marquis.
Su Zhiyi also looked at the old marquis. Although he didn't ask any questions, his eyes were full of questions, and he was even speculating in his heart:
Are they going to decide on the candidate for the crown prince?
Liu's broken leg had not healed yet, but she was carried over and was now propped up with her leg looking at the old marquis.
"What? Does something have to happen before I call you over?" the old marquis said dissatisfiedly.
"Well...of course not!" Su Zhiwen said hurriedly, and then yawned again.
The old marquis couldn't help but frown when he saw this. Why did the second son always look sleepy lately?
But then he thought again, during Su Yueqi's funeral, Su Zhiwen, as a father, probably didn't get much good sleep, so it was understandable that he felt sleepy from time to time.
"If you feel sleepy, go back and rest first." said the old marquis.
When Su Zhiwen heard this, he stood up immediately.
"Dad, I'm leaving now."
He walked straight outside, but after he had taken a few steps, the doorman hurried in with a look of horror on his face.
"Why are you running in such a hurry? Is there a ghost chasing you?" Su Zhiwen frowned.
"Old Marquis, Old Madam, they are here! People from Prince Yi's Mansion are here."
"what?"
Old Mrs. Kang stood up nervously. When she mentioned Prince Yi's Mansion, she thought of the old princess. The places where she was beaten by her still hurt from time to time.
Could it be that the person coming this time is that shrew of the old princess again!
The old marquis also became nervous. He was not in the right at Prince Yi's mansion, so he tried to avoid contact with them in daily life.
But unexpectedly, someone from Prince Yi’s mansion came to the door today.
"Yes, who is coming?" The old marquis' voice was tense.
"It's the old prince and princess, and many servants."
After hearing this, the old marquis' legs instantly went weak!
"Why is the old prince here? Isn't he sick? He said he couldn't get out of bed." Old Mrs. Kang asked puzzledly.
"He couldn't get out of bed, so he was carried here. He's on his way to Rong'an Hall now."
As soon as the messenger finished speaking, everyone in the house heard a chaotic sound of footsteps coming from outside.
It is obvious that many people came to Prince Yi’s mansion!
The old marquis wanted to escape immediately, but he could see someone approaching outside the door. He had no chance to escape unless he jumped out of the window and escaped from the back.
But he is a dignified marquis, how could he do such a thing as running away?
While he was struggling, people from Prince Yi's mansion walked in.
The leader was none other than the old princess who had just given old Kang a good beating a few days ago.
Behind him, there were several tall and strong men, carrying a carved couch steadily.
There was an old man lying on the couch. Upon closer inspection, it was the old prince Li Zhong.
The old marquis hadn't seen Li Zhong for many years. In his impression, Li Zhong was still a mighty general. However, he didn't expect that when he saw him again, he had become a frail old man lying in bed.
Looking at Li Zhong's current condition, he no longer looks majestic at all, and it seems like he could be killed by a gust of wind.
Because of this, the old marquis was not so nervous anymore.
At least the legs that had been shaking just now miraculously stopped shaking, and the back slowly straightened up a bit.
Yes!
Today, Prince Yi's Mansion has lost its military power and is just an empty shell.
He no longer had to fear them as much as before.
Thinking of this, the nervous expression on the old marquis's face gradually dissipated.
Su Qingwan's eyes swept across the old marquis's face and she immediately guessed what he was thinking.
She couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
Her grandfather is such a mean man!
In the past, he relied on the reputation of his grandmother and Prince Yi's Mansion to save his precarious title of Marquis. Now that Prince Yi's Mansion is no longer useful, he instantly changed his face. He really behaved like a despicable man.
The old prince's couch was placed in the middle. The old princess helped him sit up and said softly:
"Your Highness, we are now at the Marquis of Chengping's residence, where my sister died. If you have anything to say, just say it."
The old marquis frowned when he heard this. Why did he mention Li again? However, he did not think too much about it. Instead, he bowed and said, "I didn't expect you two distinguished guests to come to my house. I hope you can forgive me for not welcoming you."
The old prince narrowed his eyes slightly, concealing the coldness in his gaze.
Back then, he had no choice but to kill his grandson, but today, Prince Yi's Mansion has handed over the military power, and the Emperor is no longer wary of the palace.
Even if he killed the old marquis at this moment, the emperor would only give him a title of sudden death.
This way, I don't have to worry about anything.
"Brother-in-law Su, please come closer and answer my question." The old prince said weakly.
When I look at the old marquis, I see that he is breathing out more than he is breathing in. I'm afraid he won't survive this winter.
He walked over as he was told, "Old Prince, what brings you here today?"
"Yes! Something is wrong!"
The old prince said seriously, looking the old marquis over with a cold gaze.
His sister is blind, how could she like this guy? Oh! Thinking of what happened in the past, the old prince felt uncomfortable all over. He must get back what he deserves before he dies.
[The fourth great gift has arrived, the joint royal palace will directly cut off the source of the Marquisate's income, and the new January will be a blessing! ]
