She really didn't feel pain in her back when she stood and talked. She asked for help if she had the guts.
And she really had the courage to say that. Xu Xiuyi glanced at her, but Yingbi knelt down in front of Xu Xiuyi as if she had said nothing wrong and was thinking about the Su family wholeheartedly.
"Master Xing Fei is the slave who has watched her grow up. She has not endured hardships since she was a child. Third Grandma, why don't you go and beg the Fifth Prince."
"Pah!" A mouth fell, not from Xu Xiuyi, but from Mr. Su who came out of the back room.
Mr. Su had a pale face and was in very low spirits. Last time I saw him, he was quite a lively person, but now he felt like he was about to die.
However, his slap was still powerful, and he slapped Yingbi's head away. Everyone was stunned, and Xu Xiuyi was also stunned. More than ten pairs of eyes fell on Mr. Su, and he saw Mr. Su standing with his legs straight, facing him.
Xu Xiuyi knelt down.
"old……"
"Everyone kneel down for me."
Mr. Su was no longer angry, but his voice was still majestic.
A room full of people, old and young, all knelt down. Xu Xiuyi also wanted to kneel down, but Master Su half ordered and half sincerely said: "Xiu Yi, just stand and accept our family's worship."
When Xu Xiuyi was stunned, Master Su had already taken the lead in bowing to Xu Xiuyi, and everyone followed suit. This was Master Su's order.
Xu Xiuyi hurriedly followed and knelt down. She really couldn't stand this.
"Daddy, you are trying to break me."
"Dad knows that you must have suffered a lot of grievances at the hands of the Fifth Prince. Damn it, this wretched maid thinks that it is easy for you to handle this kind of thing. She actually dares to ask you to go there again."
In fact, the process of begging the Fifth Prince was much easier than expected. However, Xu Xiuyi felt warm in her heart when she heard Master Su's words, and she hurriedly helped Master Su up.
Master Su coughed twice, and Mrs. Su quickly brought tea. Master Su took the tea, and just as he was about to drink it, his body swayed, and the tea cup dropped to the ground. Master Su fell back. Fortunately, Su Jinye was behind.
After narrowly catching it, Mr. Su rolled his eyes and became furious.
Everyone was really frightened and in a hurry. The Su family has been practicing medicine for generations, and the eldest brother, Su Jinye, naturally had this skill in asking and detecting the pulse. The two brothers, one on the left and the other on the right, turned pale when they took Master Su's pulse.
"How's it going, dick?"
"Mom, dad, this..."
Before Su Jinye could say anything, tears fell down first. He should cry too. His release was not welcomed. The second wife in the house often bullied them. If Mr. Su hadn't been there, the second wife wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant. Su Jinye
I have never had such a leisurely life as now.
Now that Mr. Su is dying, and Su Jinye's backer is gone, how can he not cry?
As Su Jinye wiped his tears, Mrs. Su shouted: "Why are you crying? Your father is still here."
Everyone looked at Mr. Su, who had rolled his eyes and regained his consciousness a little. He was helped to the recliner, and he spoke in a breathless voice, waving to Xu Xiuyi.
"From the third family, come here."
Xu Xiuyi hurried over and squatted beside the reclining chair when she heard Mr. Su say: "I'm afraid Dad won't be able to see the sun tomorrow."
As soon as these words came out, there were whimpering and crying in the room.
The old lady told her not to cry, and everyone stopped crying. However, the old lady herself was already in tears, and she could only suppress her inner grief, biting her handkerchief to endure it.
Xu Xiuyi's eyes were also red. Although this father-in-law didn't have much emotion, he was a very kind person in his memory. Now that the Su family was in trouble, he couldn't bear the pressure and pain in his heart and died in misery. It was really pitiful.
Xu Xiuyi shook her head: "Dad, please take a rest, you'll be fine."
"You all listen, after I leave, this family will be pawned by the third family."
As soon as he said these words, in addition to a few whimpers, there were also a few surprises in the air.
"What? How old is she from the third family?" Su Jinyi was the first to protest. Beside him, Su Jiang kept tugging on his sleeves, signaling him not to say more. He turned around and glanced at Su Jiang with a tone of voice.
Bu Ping said, "My mother is still alive, how can she be the head of the family?"
"Unfilial son, you dare to disobey me, I'm not dead yet."
Mr. Su didn't know where the energy came from. He patted the armrest of the recliner and sat up. Although he was shaky like a candle in the wind, in a family with deep-rooted feudal ideas, his prestige was like that of a centipede.
Dead but not stiff, besides, he is not dead yet.
Su Jinyi didn't dare to speak anymore when he was angry. She just turned her back. From Xu Xiuyi's angle, she could see his mouth opening and closing, venting his dissatisfaction in a mute voice.
"Wan Qin, it's time for you to take a rest. Our Su family is about to face a storm, and you can't bear it."
Wanqin is Mrs. Su's maiden name. Mrs. Su is such a smart person, so she naturally understands what Mr. Su means.
Although she didn't want to give up the right to be the head of the family, she thought that it would be better to have her own daughter-in-law be the head of the house than to let the second son's family be the head of the house in the future, and she would have to be shy to please her, lest she be kicked out by the second son's family.
Leave home.
In her heart, she mostly agreed. Even if she had a little objection, it was just because Xu Xiuyi was a bit young and she was afraid that Xu Xiuyi would not be able to take on a big responsibility.
But when she thought about it carefully, it was okay for her to help from the side, so that little objection dissipated.
She nodded and recalled to Xu Xiu: "You, from the Third Family, have been appointed in a critical situation. The entire burden of our Su family rests on your shoulders. Mother knows it's difficult for you, but now you are the only one who can turn the tide and take on this great responsibility.
"
What Mrs. Su said was straightforward. In these troubled times, the Su family was on the verge of collapse. Only Xu Xiuyi could save it.
In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that Xu Xiuyi had begged the Fifth Prince to save everyone's lives at the moment. She was the head of the family, and that was what everyone expected.
At least except for the second eldest son Su Jinyi and his family who were unhappy, no one else had any objections.
Mrs. Su fell back on the recliner weakly and looked at Xu Xiuyi.
"From the third child's family, if this family breaks up and falls into decline, I won't blame you. I only ask you one thing, don't give up on this family no matter how difficult it is, okay?"
A single word of advice will cost you a lot of money, but if you can't guarantee it, what order will the emperor give?
The Fifth Prince has already said that you will never escape the punishment. Now Xu Xiuyi can't do it even if he agrees, and it can't be done if he doesn't agree.
Agree, if the emperor's order is for men to be slaves and women to be prostitutes, then how can she help this family? What can she do? It is already very difficult for her to honor her natal family and protect herself.
But if she doesn't agree, Mr. Su will die. How can she bear to plead so earnestly, with a whole room full of people counting on her to save their lives?
She regretted that she had become a good doctor and had learned all kinds of benevolence and benevolence, but she had not learned to face life and death with a cold eye.
After thinking for a moment, she felt that Mr. Su's grip on her hand was getting looser and looser. She finally nodded: "Don't worry, dad, I will do my best to protect this family."
