Ch 20: The Male Lead Kneels Before Me
Perhaps it was the too-naked gazes of the two sons that made Su Junyao recall that embarrassing scene from not long ago as if guided by a ghost.
He cleared his throat: “Ahem, it’s windy outside, let’s go in first.”
The residence physician has already come to treat Madam Wen, saying that she only had a rush of anger that caused her to vomit the stagnant blood in her lungs.
There is no major problem, she just needs to rest.
Old Marquis Su sat in the middle of the room looking at Zheng Xiulan who was crying, and Qiao Muyang who was kneeling there without saying a word, with a cold face: “Explain to me, what exactly did you say that could make my madam so angry!”
Qiao Muyang was already afraid of Old Marquis Su. Every time he was looked at by him, it was as if he had been stripped naked and thrown into the crowd, making him feel at a loss.
It was as if he could see through all his little thoughts.
His mother always asked him to come to please the Old Marquis, but every time he saw him, he was as scared as a mouse seeing a cat. After being glared at this time, Qiao Muyang felt his legs were shaking and he almost couldn’t kneel.
Old Marquis Su didn’t like this mother and son in front of him. Seeing Qiao Muyang’s guilty look, he curled his lips, but he didn’t make things difficult for a half-grown child, and directly aimed his spearhead at Zheng Shi: “You tell me, what did you say to your aunt!”
Zheng Xiulan trembled and actually cast a look of help at Su Junyao who had just entered the room, her eyes full of amorous feelings, making Su Junyao feel a chill down his back, as afraid as if he was being stared at by a female ghost!
Su Junyao: I knew I should have stayed outside in the wind!
Su Junyao didn’t make any eye contact with Zheng Xiulan at all, holding Chou Chou and standing beside the Old Marquis, his eyes as firm as if he could join the army at any time!
Chou Chou waved her little hand excitedly: 【Grandpa, Grandpa!】
Although she is not a Calabash Brother, she also likes her grandpa very much!
Old Marquis Su, who was still so fierce that he could kill with his eyes just now, suddenly changed his aura, his old face twisted like a sunflower, patted his hands and stretched them towards Chou Chou: “Yo, who’s here?”
“It turns out it’s Grandpa’s precious Chou Chou!”
Su Junyao, who had already seen how much the Old Master liked Chou Chou, handed Chou Chou to him without changing his expression, but the expressions of the others were wonderful.
The Zheng family mother and son felt horrified, could it be that the Old Marquis was possessed by an evil spirit!
The faces of the twins turned green.
Just now Chou Chou said that the crying of Zheng family’s cousin was like a door being slammed, isn’t Grandpa’s voice the same?
Slam it, slam it until they don’t make a sound, who can slam harder than his grandpa!
But these do not interfere with the meeting between the grandfather and granddaughter at all!
Old Marquis Su: “Chou Chou!”
Chou Chou: 【Grandpa!】
Old Marquis Su: “My good baby!”
Chou Chou: 【My dear grandpa!】
The three Su family father and sons: “……”
Old Marquis Su was in a great mood holding Chou Chou who was watching the excitement, and even found the Zheng family mother and son pleasing to the eye.
He was afraid of scaring Chou Chou, so he was not as serious as before, and just pointed at Zheng Shi and told her to confess honestly.
Zheng Xiulan’s gaze towards Su Junyao was not innocent, but discerning people could see that Su Junyao didn’t want to pay attention to her and was trying hard to control himself from slapping her to clear her head.
But his restrained appearance changed its taste in Zheng Xiulan’s eyes.
Cousin is so forbearing, maybe there is another hidden reason for what happened before.
“Cousin!”
Su Junyao felt goosebumps all over: “Speak properly!”
Zheng Xiulan wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes and poured out her grievances to Old Marquis Su: “A few days ago, cousin sent Lan’er one thousand taels of silver for winter expenses, but after a few days, he hurriedly came to ask for it back, and smashed my house to pieces over a disagreement. But Lan’er knows that cousin must have unspeakable difficulties, it must be someone who was gossiping in front of you that caused this.”
“If cousin had said it clearly yesterday, I wouldn’t have come to the door today, and I wouldn’t have implicated my aunt in worrying about this matter and getting so angry.”
“Wuwuwu, all the mistakes are Lan’er’s fault!”
Zheng Xiulan is only two months younger than Su Junyao, and is also thirty-six years old. Although she is well-maintained and has some beauty, it is no longer appropriate to make such a delicate appearance of a young girl.
◈◈◈
With a flirtatious wink, Su Junyao almost vomited.
But he is an adult and can hold back, but children may not be able to.
Chou Chou frowned: 【Ew, so disgusting. Chou Chou wants to throw up!】
What a vicious woman, wanting to disgust Chou Chou to death and then make her beautiful mother heartbroken.
The little one rolled her eyes, sticking out her tongue, looking like she was about to faint from disgust.
Old Marquis Su reached out to cover Chou Chou’s eyes, looking at Zheng Shi with dissatisfaction: “There are still children here, put away your style from the brothel, no one here likes that!”
Something that can’t be brought to the table, I don’t know what Madam Wen likes about this niece!
Old Marquis Su’s words were harsh, as if slapping Zheng Xiulan in the face. After all, she still had some self-esteem, and she was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into on the spot.
“Uncle, cousin, I……”
“Alright!” Old Marquis Su interrupted her, “This year, Muyang will get married, and you are also going to be a grandmother soon, you should pay attention to your words and deeds!”
This little imp Chou Chou is different from other stupid fat babies, she really learns all kinds of strange things.
Look, now she is staring at the Zheng family mother and son with bright eyes!
【Muyang? Qiao Muyang?】
【Oh my god, the male lead is kneeling before me!】
Old Marquis Su is holding Chou Chou, and Qiao Muyang is kneeling in front of him, which can be considered as kneeling before Chou Chou.
【I actually got such a big advantage.】
Su family members: “???”
Male lead? Qiao Muyang?
Chou Chou’s prophetic ability is broken?
The male lead in Chou Chou’s mouth should be the talented scholar in the plays who is omnipotent and attracts the hearts of young ladies or ghosts and monsters.
Sorry, in the eyes of the Su family, they don’t think Qiao Muyang has this ability. On the contrary, they often see him coming to ask for money with Zheng Shi and think that this person has no scholarly integrity, only the calculations of the market.
In addition to being shocked, Su Junyao barely remembered that he had to prove his innocence now: “Dad, everyone is here now, you have to stand up for your son!”
Old Marquis Su finally turned his gaze away from Qiao Muyang and glanced at him: “You still need me to stand up for you? Didn’t you go to smash someone else’s house?”
Su Junyao was not convinced: “Isn’t a man’s innocence also innocence? Zheng Shi has repeatedly slandered my innocence, almost causing me to lose my wife’s heart, her heart is punishable!”
He was going all out in front of the children, and he must make things clear today.
Especially in front of Chou Chou, he must say it clearly so that she can go back and tell her mother without missing a word, he must let his madam know that he is a man who abides by male virtues!
“Zheng Shi, I have endured you for a long time!”
Zheng Xiulan trembled, looking at Su Junyao in disbelief, “Cousin, what are you saying?”
Su Junyao didn’t speak, but instead dragged Madam Wen, who was already awake and eavesdropping on the bed, up: “Mother, stop pretending to be dizzy, make things clear with Zheng Shi today, and stop sending her money and things in my name.”
“You are shameless, but I still want it!”
“One thousand taels are sent as soon as they are said, mother, you are really good at pretending to be generous!”
