"The Su family's plaque was really smashed down?" Someone said in disbelief, as if waking up from a dream.
"No! Who would have thought that a plaque that had been hung for hundreds of years would fall down like this..." Someone sighed with a face full of emotion.
"The Su family, a century-old family, may be doomed this time..." Someone shook his head in glee.
The crowd gradually started to hear discussions one after another.
"That's not necessarily true. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. After all, the Su family still has some descendants who are officials in the court..."
"That's true. The Su family is prosperous and has many heirs. It has been passed down for hundreds of years. It has long been involved with the major families in the capital, so it will not fall like this..."
"Isn't this called decline? The old man of the Su family did such despised things back then, and the reputation of the Su family is over! What about heirlooms of poetry and books, and a scholarly family, that's bullshit!"
"That's right! I'm afraid all the major families in the capital will stay away from the Su family in the future!"
"That's true! If we continue to interact with the Su family, our reputation will be tarnished by the Su family..."
"..."
The icing on the cake is something everyone is happy to do.
However, there are many people who are willing to do this if they add insult to injury and push down the wall.
People were talking a lot, saying that eating melon has never been so enjoyable.
Today's big melon will keep them talking about it for a long time.
Beside a carriage not far away, a young maid was chattering to a beautiful young woman in the carriage.
"Little madam, this Su family really deserves it!" The little maid said with a relieved look: "That old man of the Su family is so bad. He deceived his wife, treated his son harshly, and drove away his grandson. He is really a wolf-hearted man. Now he is... ah
!”
Before the little maid could finish her words, she was severely pinched on the arm by the mother in charge.
"Shut up!" the steward's mother shouted in a low voice, giving the little maid a stern look.
The little maid covered her arms in grievance, wondering what mistake she had made?
"Xiao Tao is young and can't speak. Don't mind, Madam." The steward's mother looked at the young woman in the carriage and said with a flattering look on her face.
After saying that, his tone changed and he added: "Old slave, after so many years, who knows the truth?"
"I can't tell you what shameful means the old lady of the Su family used to force the old lady of the Su family to marry her."
"Otherwise, what a big deal it is for the head of the Su family to get married? Why don't you hold a big banquet and entertain the guests? Why do you marry someone in silence?"
"It can be seen that the old man of the Su family and his later step-wife have a deep love for each other..."
The mother in charge looked at the master's expression carefully as she spoke.
At this time, the maid Xiao Tao seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing.
Involuntarily, a look of fear appeared on his face.
The young lady is not the Crown Prince's wife, but his concubine. The one he hates the most is the Crown Prince's wife in the mansion.
If the Crown Prince's wife hadn't stopped him in the first place, the young lady would have been the Crown Prince's equal wife.
Naturally, the young lady was not happy to hear what she just said.
Maid Xiao Tao figured out the reason and became more and more frightened.
The young woman in the carriage, Mrs. Zheng's niece Ye Mingyan, ignored her mother in charge and Xiao Tao.
His eyes were always looking at the handsome man standing proudly at the door of the Su family - Su Laowu.
The expressions on his face range from complex to regretful to unpredictable and obscure.
After a long time, Ye Mingyan put down the car curtain and ordered: "Go to my aunt's house."
When the mother in charge heard this, her expression was a little hesitant. She wanted to say something, but in the end she swallowed it.
Then, he winked at the coachman.
The driver whipped his horse whip and the carriage headed towards Mrs. Zheng's house.
In this room, the moment the plaque of the old man of the Su family fell off, his heart dropped as if he was dead. As if he was stimulated to life again, he tremblingly jumped forward.
Immediately, he knelt on the ground and touched the writing and lines on the plaque with trembling hands. The expression on his face seemed to be crying or laughing.
"It's my fault...my fault..."
The old man of the Su family spoke vaguely, as if he was crazy.
Two lines of tears slowly flowed down from the eyes of the old man of the Su family and fell on the plaque.
Mr. Feng and others felt a little unbearable when they saw the sad look of the old man of the Su family.
Several people looked at each other and shook their heads.
The plaque left by the ancestors of the Su family was smashed down by the descendants of the Su family. It is a huge irony!
Naturally, with the fall of the plaque, the position of the head of the Su family's elite no longer exists.
Not only that, it will probably be difficult for the Su family to rise in the future.
unless--
Several important old men among the officials glanced at Old Man Su in unison.
At this time, Old Man Su looked at the plaque on the ground and the old man of the Su family who was described as embarrassed and miserable, with a somewhat complicated expression.
Originally, he thought he would be extremely happy.
However, it didn't.
Some, it's just an indescribable emotion.
When he was a child, he was proud of this plaque and tried hard to get the attention of the old man of the Su family.
Now, he personally ordered his son to smash the plaque down in front of the old man of the Su family.
"His father..." Old Mrs. Su looked at Old Man Su worriedly.
If it wasn't in the public eye, I would definitely hold Old Man Su's hand.
Old man Su glanced at his wife and took a deep breath.
It's as if the knot in my heart has been untied and the burden has been let go.
"Okay! It's time for us to go home and celebrate!" Old Man Su said loudly.
After saying that, he threw the big hammer in his hand to Su Laoer.
"Take it!"
I took it for a long time and didn't use it.
"Dad, didn't you say you wanted to hit a few hammers to vent your anger?" Su Laoer asked.
Old Man Su: "...Forget it, I won't smash it."
Old man Su shook his head.
As the plaque fell, the thorn in his heart that had been buried for many years disappeared.
Old Man Su felt that his whole body became relaxed.
With a wave of his hand, he took his wife, son, and daughter home.
"Cousin..." Su Zhengyan looked at Old Man Su and shouted hesitantly.
Old man Su frowned and looked at Su Zhengyan.
Naturally, he remembered Su Zhengyan.
After all, it was Su Zhengyan who went to Daliushu Village to renew his family tree, but was kicked out by Old Man Su.
"I'm not your cousin, don't call me by the wrong name again." Old Man Su said.
Su Zhengyan: "..."
His lips moved, a look of disappointment appeared on his face, but he said nothing more.
In fact, he couldn't explain clearly what he felt in his heart.
I don’t know if he is sincere and hopes that Old Man Su and his family can return to the Su family.
He had no talent for reading since he was a child, but fortunately he had a good relationship with the head of the Su family, and he always helped take care of the Su family's trivial affairs.
You can also get a lot of benefits from it.
If the head of the Su family gave up his position and Old Man Su took it, he didn't know if he would be as comfortable as he is now...
