Chapter 214 Who said women are inferior to men
"Ms. Su, you are so brave, you dare to openly contradict the old lady."
Aunt Liu saw the old lady's livid face and was extremely angry.
At this time, the eldest lady was worried about her two injured sons and had no time to take care of the Su family, so she naturally had to show her dignity as an elder.
"The Xiao family has strict laws and does not allow a shrew like you to run wild. Today, I will teach you some rules on behalf of your mother-in-law."
As Aunt Liu spoke, she raised her arm to slap Su Manrong's mouth.
However, she fell into the water and was caught in the cold, and her whole body was top-heavy. She was no match for Su Manrong, who had been recharging her energy.
The next second, she raised her lips and smiled, saying: "Aunt Liu, I see you are very hot, and there are some red spots on your face and neck. I'm afraid this is a bad disease...
We people are not so squeamish, Zhiyuan is the great-grandson of the Xiao family, he is frail and sick, if you pass on your illness to him, won't it cost the lives of the old lady and the eldest lady?"
Su Manrong knew that the older she gets, the more afraid of death she becomes. The old lady is sixty-five years old this year. In modern times, she has just retired, which is the prime time of her life.
But in ancient times, half of the sixty-five-year-old earth was buried...
"You're talking nonsense. I just fell into the water and got cold. I don't know what kind of hair there is in the pool. I have moss!" Aunt Liu subconsciously touched her neck, and it was indeed itchy.
Xiao Zhiyuan is the lifeblood of Xiao Mansion. If she gets a bad disease, the old lady and the eldest lady will never let her go!
"Wind cold will not cause erythema on the cheeks and neck. I'm afraid you don't have a rash. People who have never had a rash can easily get it. I bothered Aunt Liu to rest at the door..."
Su Manrong looked at the old lady quietly and counted down silently in her heart.
Three, two... Before she could finish speaking, the old lady lost her temper.
"Ms. Liu, why don't you retreat to the door quickly? If you make everyone sick, who can help you?"
The old lady moved her body without leaving a trace, turning her body to the side facing away from Aunt Liu. If her old bones were infected with rash, she might not be able to see her son and grandson in Sichuan.
"Old madam, I just fell into the water and caught the cold. What's wrong with it? Don't listen to Su's nonsense. She..."
"Okay, now you are going to rebel?" The old lady saw that Aunt Liu was getting more and more excited and wanted to walk towards her, so she sharply accused her.
"Yes..." Aunt Liu was so blessed that she didn't forget to look at the eldest lady, hoping that she could use her identity as mother-in-law to suppress Su Manrong.
However, the eldest lady was only worried about her husband and son, and could not care about a little girl like Aunt Liu.
Su Manrong was never merciful towards her enemies, and Aunt Liu wanted to use her identity as her great-grandson to steal the belongings of her two children.
Then you can't blame her...
It was already cold in the cell, and there was a constant draft near the door. Aunt Liu caught the wind and cold, and she was left to die.
Sitting next to the two children, she put away the coldness on her face and held Yuan'er in her arms with a tender look on her face.
I don’t know if both twins are like this. There is a big difference in weight and height between the two children, and their resistance is also different.
Brother Xiao Anzheng's fever has gone away, but sister Xiao Anyuan still has some fever.
But with so many pairs of eyes staring at her, Su Manrong couldn't get away to get the antipyretic medicine, and she was very irritable for a while.
The exchanges between the two jailers came from the corridor of the cell. Aunt Liu struggled to stand up as if grasping a life-saving straw.
"Master Jun, Master Jun, I have a fever, could you please help me find a doctor..."
"Go away, you criminals in the Xiao Mansion, do you think we are in your house? Call a doctor? Can I call you the King of Hell?"
The knife-wielding jailer had a dark face and was full of displeasure from the moment he entered the cell. When he heard Aunt Liu's unreasonable request, he even cursed: "If your Xiao Mansion hadn't suddenly been ransacked, I wouldn't have been involved in the escort."
If you go to Sichuan and Sichuan, you'd better die in one night, which will save me a trip."
As the jailer spoke, he took the handle of the knife and pushed Aunt Liu to the ground with all his strength.
"I still have money. I have silver here. I'll give it to you. You can help me get a pack of medicine." Aunt Liu was shivering all over and crawled towards the door.
Nothing can happen to her, she has to go to Sichuan and Sichuan to see her son...
"Okay, you criminals from the Xiao Mansion still dare to hide and carry them away, you two, come here and let me search their bodies."
At the command of the sword-wielding jailer, the female relatives of Xiao Mansion were searched one by one again.
Su Manrong took advantage of dozens of people standing up to search her body and not looking at her. She quickly turned around, took out the flat kettle from her arms, put it into Yuan'er's mouth, and fed her two sips of milk.
Afterwards, he took advantage of the chaos to put Yuan'er down, held Zheng'er in his arms and fed her twice before putting the flat pot under the wheat straw and hiding it.
"Ms. Liu, you really succeed more than you do." The eldest lady, Qin Ru, had her only banknote hidden in her belt taken away, and she gave Aunt Liu a slap in the face in a hurry.
All the personal belongings of the other female family members were also searched. They were angry and did not dare to vent to the jailer, but they all hated Aunt Liu in their hearts.
After the body search, there was a moment of silence in the cell. Everyone leaned on their seats and waited feebly.
Aunt Liu has become the abandoned son of the eldest lady, and there is no possibility of struggling anymore.
Aunt Liu got the punishment she deserved. Su Manrong didn't care whether she could survive or not. She just wanted to find a chance to chat alone with the jailer responsible for escorting them...
After a while, there was another cry and curse outside, and then the dungeon door was opened, and the jailer pushed a group of people inside.
"We, the Xiao family, are at loggerheads with your General's Office. You are collaborating with the enemy and treason, and you are going to implicate us in being exiled!
Mr. Xiao Guo, you usually look down on those of us who are doing business the most, and you use your own imperial status to show off your power to us.
Now our wives, children, and children have been imprisoned and exiled. Why should we bear the burden of the sins you have done?"
The nine clans involved were confiscated and exiled, so the women who were just kicked in by the jailers were all descendants of the Xiao family.
Like Xiao Rong, the concubine of the Xiao Guo family, they are all engaged in business.
For Xiao Guo, being in business is not a high-profile job and is the most unpopular job, so he usually ignores these side branches.
The cell finally became quiet, and everyone closed their eyes for a moment to recuperate, before it became lively again.
Mrs. Xiao Guo stood up and knocked heavily on the wall. After everyone closed their mouths, she looked at Su Manrong coldly.
"Under the imperial edict, there is no need for exile if you blame each other? Now, everyone in the Xiao family must rely on the Su family.
If you are shouting in an inappropriate manner here, you might as well beg the Su family to ask Su Shangshu to leave a way for us to survive, so as not to die unexplainedly on the road to exile."
Even if the Xiao Mansion is in trouble, she, the mistress of the family, will never allow the younger generation to make mistakes.
