Chapter 447 Don’t Pick Up 4
After dealing with Lin Sheng, Su Lingruo returned to the Su Mansion under the cover of night.
Of course, she could choose not to meet Lin Sheng. After all, when Lin Sheng went to Beijing, the cheating in the imperial examination would be exposed, and then Lin Sheng would be in trouble.
Naturally, it poses no threat to the Su family.
But now Lin Sheng has taken so many benefits from the Su family, and was sentenced after a fraud case and has been in prison for a long time.
In the end, he sold the antique jade he had obtained from the Su family, successfully married a wife, and lived a good life with his old mother.
Su Lingruo just took back the benefits that Lin Sheng had obtained from the Su family.
Although Lin Sheng has passed the imperial examination and become a juren, out of caution he does not accept any gifts from those who want to curry favor with him.
He originally wanted to collect it after returning from Beijing, but he didn't know that Beijing was not his ladder to success, but the road to his death.
So Su Lingruo just wanted to take back everything that the Su family gave to Lin Sheng, to prevent Lin Sheng from being too free and easy after he was released from prison.
At that time, the original owner was in the Music Bureau, and Lin Sheng had met her once. He spent the Su family's money, but still despised her for being dirty. He was secretly glad that he did not marry the original owner, otherwise he would have been killed by the sword.
He also used the death of his father and brother to provoke the original owner, and secretly mocked that if the women of the Su family had any sense of shame, they should have died long ago instead of living in disgrace in the world.
Thinking of this, Su Lingruo felt that his kick was too light.
The next morning, Su Su and his brother Su Yun were waiting for her to come over for breakfast.
Yuan Tao served her a bowl of lotus seed porridge and stood by waiting.
"That Lin Sheng is really a piece of shit!" Su Su was still very angry when he thought of Lin Sheng's letter of withdrawal of engagement.
"That's right." Su Yun also responded from the side.
"My dear daughter, wait for your father to find a few new scholars. You are still young and you don't have to worry about not being able to get married."
Su Yun said loudly: "Sister, if you really can't get married, then just stay in the Su family. I will support you for the rest of your life!"
"Dad, you've seen it too. That Lin Sheng acted so well before, deceiving you and me. He even broke off the engagement after he passed the high school entrance exam. People outside don't think it's the Lin family's fault, and they forget that if it weren't for our Su family supporting Lin Sheng's studies, he wouldn't have passed the high school entrance exam. They just think that we are a class of businessmen, full of money, and unworthy of the lofty scholars."
Ling Ruo whispered again: "Will you support another scholar and have your daughter's engagement broken off again? It's not like the Su family can't afford to support me."
Su Yun nodded: "That's right, father, let's do business honestly and don't think about getting involved with those scholars."
Su Su glared at his son fiercely and patted his head hard, "Eat yours."
Then he sighed helplessly.
That’s it, that’s it.
After breakfast, a servant from the mansion came to report that Mr. Lin had sent two boxes of things, expressing his gratitude for the Su family’s care over the years.
Su Yun walked forward and opened the box. "That sounds nice. Everything in the box belongs to our Su family."
Father Su glared at his son again and said, "Don't let this be spread outside."
"I know, father. I'm not stupid." Su Yun muttered a few words. He just wanted to do business and let the Su family's business continue to flourish and spread throughout the entire Nanlin Kingdom.
Even businessmen are divided into high and low classes. If you can become an imperial merchant, you don't have to worry about offending Lin Sheng, a small juren.
But being an imperial merchant is not that easy, and Su Yun was just thinking about it.
It seems like it would be nice to be the richest man in Huaizhou?
Lin Sheng has already come to Beijing and has not caused trouble for the Su family. It is probably because Ling Ruo has cast too much of a shadow on him, leaving him with a considerable trauma.
In the original plot, after Lin Sheng left, the original owner was afraid that Lin Sheng would make her a concubine after he came back, so she hurriedly recruited a son-in-law to marry into the family.
He was busy for a long time, and only felt relieved when he heard that Lin Sheng was thrown into jail for cheating in the imperial examination. He stopped worrying about this matter.
And now Su Lingruo certainly would not find a man to marry into her family. During this free time, she has been improving the fighting power of this body.
He was also giving the original owner's younger brother some advice on business practices.
The heroine Su Tangtang has been staying quietly in the yard and has never appeared in front of anyone.
It seemed as if there was no such person in the huge Su Mansion.
But today is a little unusual.
Today is the anniversary of Su Tangtang’s father’s death.
On this day, Su Tangtang would always burn paper money in the corner of the yard.
Yellow paper money floated in the air and burned to ashes, with a slight smell of fire in the air.
The wind was quite strong and blew up the half-burned paper money and brought it to the front yard.
The Su Mansion was on fire.
The servants rushed out to put out the fire and fortunately there were no casualties.
Su Su looked at his niece with red eyes, feeling a little overwhelmed, "Xiaotang, don't burn paper money in the garden in the middle of the night anymore."
Too dangerous.
To Su Tangtang's ears, it sounded like this uncle had killed her father and now he didn't even want to burn paper money for her.
She lowered her head and bit her lower lip so hard that it almost drew blood.
But she didn't feel any pain.
At midnight, the wind blew through the hem of her satin skirt. It was very cold, and tears fell down her face.
Su Su didn't know why his niece was crying for no reason, so he quickly comforted her: "Okay, okay, don't cry, uncle will have someone build a place for you to burn paper money..."
"Why are you crying?" Su Lingruo walked forward and looked at Su Tangtang in front of her.
"We were just lucky this time and no one was hurt. If Su Yun hadn't been in the room, the consequences would have been disastrous."
In the original plot, Su Yunke burned a layer of skin on his back because of this incident.
Because they are a family, and he felt that Su Tangtang's mistake was unintentional, he chose to forgive and comfort Su Tangtang.
Knowing this would happen, Su Lingruo asked Su Yun to stay outside for a while longer to take care of the business.
"It's my fault." Su Tangtang sobbed and stammered, "I shouldn't have burned paper on my father's death anniversary, and I shouldn't have stayed in the Su Mansion."
"Okay, my dear girl, it's getting late, you should go back to your room and get some rest." Su Su glanced at his daughter repeatedly, signaling her not to say anything more, as the matter had been revealed everywhere.
"It's no use arranging more places to burn paper money." Ling Ruo shook her head, "She will only burn it here."
Fires had occurred on this day in previous years, but they were all relatively small and not as serious as today, which almost burned down half of the bedroom where Su Yun lived.
"Xiaotang, be obedient. Go to other places to burn paper money next time. Your uncle will arrange a more spacious place for you, okay?"
Su Tangtang shook her head, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Su Lingruo said calmly, "Is it because you think my father killed your father that you want to burn paper money in the mansion to avenge us in this way?"
Su Tangtang looked up suddenly, her hands clenched so tightly that the fabric on her cuffs was wrinkled.
What was hidden in my heart was spoken out.
She really wanted to use this method to remind Su Su, to remind him not to forget how her father died and how he killed her father.
How dare Su Su still live?
Every time he was nice to her, she felt disgusted. Those were just small favors. If her father were still alive, she would definitely be living a better life than now.
Su Su glanced at his daughter in shock, then his gaze stayed on Su Tangtang, "Xiaotang, do you really think so?"
