Su Xiucai cared about his face the most, and Yaoniang had never heard the word βbegβ come out of his mouth. If it werenβt for this habit as his, as one of the ten or so Xiucais in the county, he wouldnβt be reduced to living in such pitiful conditions. It was because he refused to bend and yield to the corrupted officials above him.
Yaoniang cried even harder, and Huiniang approached her with tears in her eyes.
βYour elder sister too. I will also go to beg himβ¦β
Since Huiniang had already made a move, even though Yao Cheng knew it probably wouldnβt end well, he still forced a smile and walked up to join them.
βAnd brother-in-lawβ¦β
βWhy are you all acting like this? Youβre making it seem like itβs a matter of life and death. Alright, alright, your brother will also join inβ¦β
βSu Yucheng, what are you doing!β Zhu-shi immediately leapt three feet into the air and scolded, βJust because the heads of these people arenβt working, does that mean you should follow them?β
βFuck. Itβs your motherβs head thatβs broken! Thatβs Laoziβs younger sisterβ¦β Under Zhu-shiβs stare, Su Yucheng let out a soft sigh. βWorst comes to worst, Iβll just go pick up a few more odd jobs. At least itβd be better than nothing. Can you notβ¦β
Outside the door, Jin Wang couldnβt stand still any longer.
In just a short while, he had become a heinous tyrant. The older generation of the other party was forced to step forward and plead bitterly as if it was a matter of life and death.
He cleared his throat and walked in.
But the Su Family didnβt notice him at all. Fucheng immediately noticed the problem and acted. He announced, βHis Highness Jin Wang is hereββ
With this, over ten eunuchs and maids filed in from outside. They lined up in two neat rows and knelt down in unison.
βGreetings Your Highness. May Your Highness live to be a thousand, ten thousand years old!β
Seeing all this commotion and then noticing the man who stepped inside was exceptionally distinguished, noble and elegant, the Su Family was shocked speechless.
There were still tears on Yaoniangβs face. Seeing this, she couldnβt help but wink at Jin Wang. Jin Wang ignored her, approached a nearby chair and sat down.
A maid served him some tea. Jin Wang held up the teacup but did not speak. His eyelids were lowered as he drank a sip of his tea.
Below, both the Yao Family and the Su Family were silent and uneasy. Even the children were so frightened that they shrank behind their parents, not daring to step forward.
Seeing this, Fucheng, who was like a roundworm in Jin Wangβs stomach, naturally wanted to speak up. He had also been watching from outside the door just now, so he naturally understood what Side Consort Su was trying to do.
βYou are members of Concubine Suβs family, right? His Highness was passing by here and noticed your presence. It wouldβve been impolite to leave without greeting you. His Highness treats others well and is polite and understanding so you need not be afraid of embarrassing yourselves.β
This older man who looked even more dignified than the prince sitting there had already opened his mouth to speak, yet the prince was still silent. Zhu-shi couldnβt help but ask, βYou are?β
How could Zhu-shi be familiar with the practices of the nobility? The higher oneβs status, the less one speaks. As for those who were higher up, they would always have people around them speak on their behalf when addressing others much lower in status.
βMe?β Fucheng smiled arrogantly and puffed out his chest. βI may not have many talents but I am the Head Steward of this manor. You may call me Steward Fu.β
βOh, so youβre the head steward! I am Su- Concubine Suβs sister-in-law. Iβ¦β
Su Yucheng pulled Zhu-shi from behind. When she saw how everyone was looking at her, she froze.
βYou are the head steward? Thatβs perfect.β At this time, Su Xiucai took a step forward. He straightened his clothes, cupped his hands then said, βI am the father of Su Yaoniangβ¦β
Fucheng stretched out his hand to interrupt him. Despite the slight smile on his face, his face was aloof with an air of unapproachability.
βXiucai from the Su Family, what you and the others have just discussed should not be mentioned again. Our Jin Wang Manor has its own rules, and Concubine Su is one of the householdβs women. She should remember her duty and not speak of such preposterous matters. Since this is your first offence, His Highness will not inflict any consequences. However, you must take care to keep propriety in mind, lest you overstep again.β
β Thisββ
Since Yaoniang was a woman, she must abide by the womenβs laws. Su Xiucai had just stood up for a short while before he was interrupted. Naturally, he couldnβt continue.
Fucheng naturally wouldnβt let Su Xiucai retreat so awkwardly and said, βMaster Su can rest assured. Although Concubine Su is soft-spoken, she has given birth to two sons for His Highness. His Highness is wise, and his eyes discerning. Naturally, he wouldnβt let Concubine Su suffer any major grievances.β
He wouldnβt let her suffer any major grievances, but he definitely wouldnβt be bothered with minor issues.
Was this what he meant?
The Su Family all interpreted his words like so. Then they thought about it again. The consort was the main wife after all. It was only natural for the main wife to make things difficult for the concubines. Although it would be uncomfortable to suffer grievances, thatβs still better than losing your life, right?
Wu Shi also understood that they wouldnβt allow them to take their daughter away. Tearfully, she said, βI hope His Highness can take good care of my daughter. My Yaoyao has sufferedβ¦β
/p>
After saying that, Wu-shi wanted to burst into tears again, but Su Xiucai gave her a pointed look so she stopped herself.
βBenwang will.β
After Jin Wang came in, this was the first thing he said to them. He glanced at Fucheng, then Fucheng resumed speaking, βMaster Suβs family has come from far away. You must not have had the chance to adjust and rest yet. Iβll have someone take you down to rest. The capital city is a beautiful place. You could go out for a walk if you have nothing to do.β
βFather, you should all go rest first,β added Yaoniang.
Su Xiucai and the others waited until a servant arrived before leaving.
Before they left, Huiniang looked back to look at Yaoniang. She had felt extremely anxious, and it wasnβt until she saw Jin Wang that she breathed a sigh of relief. If Jin Wang had abandoned her sister, he wouldnβt have bothered to come to greet the Su Family, so she quickly caught on to what her sister was doing. She had already felt awkward because of this matter so seeing her sister deal with it like this was relieving.
Yaoniang nodded to her imperceptibly before she walked out the door.
After everyone left, Fucheng immediately apologized profusely to Yaoniang. What he had just said could be considered to be insubordination to his superior.
Yaoniang waved her hand indifferently. It was thanks to Fucheng for helping her this round, otherwise, what she had just done wouldβve been a waste of time.
She approached Jin Wang, βYour Highnessβ¦β
Jin Wang sneered. βBenwang abused you, and benwang doesnβt feed you?β
