Chapter 113 Son's Progress
Su Yu:......
That's true!
Su Yuan knows everything!
Su Yuan knew her purpose and thoughts. She was like a clown, thinking she could use Su Yuan.
Su Yu's legs went weak, and she leaned on a chair and sat down, trying to calm herself down.
After a long time, Su Yu finally recovered.
"Sister, are you really willing to let me go?" Su Yu asked.
Now that things have come to this, there is no point for her to stay in the Marquis' Mansion, so she might as well leave.
He's just the father of the baby in her belly...
She didn't know who it was either.
She only knew that she had someone find a young prostitute for her, and in order to avoid being pestered by the other party, they did not show their true faces.
This child can only be raised by her alone.
She had originally planned to gain wealth and glory, but in the end, everything was in vain and she got nothing.
But she was lucky, at least Su Yuan did not kill her and take her life.
Liang Yinyin was directly sentenced to death, but she still had a chance to survive. She was luckier than Liang Yinyin.
"Of course! I will give you a letter of release so that you can leave with dignity. I will also give you a sum of money so that you can live a good life.
Don't think about taking shortcuts in the future. There are no shortcuts in life. Don't be too self-righteous. There are many smart people in the world. Don't always think you are smarter than everyone else. "Su Yuan gave her some advice and then let Li Mo lead her down.
Su Yu will have to walk the future path on his own.
Su Yu bowed to Su Yuan and left with Li Mo.
After dealing with Su Yu, Su Yuan felt more relaxed.
There is only one concubine in this house, Yueji.
Rose...
She promised Yueji that she would give her a life of luxury.
Yueji left the Marquis' Mansion and has nowhere else to go, so let her stay.
When Yueji wants to leave, I will take the initiative to talk to her.
In the following days, Su Yuan was busy sorting out the assets of the Zhennan Marquis Mansion.
The Zhennan Marquis Mansion only has two farms and two shops, neither of which makes any money all year round and even loses money.
Before, Zhou was holding on to it and refused to let go, but now Su Yuan is too lazy to take over this mess.
This farm was a gift from His Majesty and could not be sold, so she had no choice but to continue to manage it. No one was willing to buy the shop even if she sold it, so she had no choice but to find a way to revive the shop.
These are all small matters, she is still busy trying to intimidate the Gu family members.
She invited several respected clan leaders to come for tea.
"Madam! How is the Marquis' health? And how is the old lady? Has she asked a doctor to see her?" One of the patriarchs asked first.
Su Yuan smiled and said, "Of course! The imperial physician has been here. The old lady is in poor health and it is difficult for her to recover. As for the Marquis, his body has been drained and I don't know if he can recover.
Fortunately, His Majesty has appointed the Crown Prince. Even if the Marquis cannot rise, the Marquisate will not collapse. I called you all here today because I have something to announce. My Marquisate has been relying on the Li family for support over the years, and I really don’t have any extra money to donate to the Gu family ancestral hall.
From now on, the annual supply of 50,000 taels of silver will be cut off."
Upon hearing this, the clan leaders looked at each other in bewilderment. One of them stood up and said, "No! This is something the old lady agreed to donate. How can we just cut it off like that?"
Madam, are you planning to embezzle this money?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone echoed him.
Su Yuan's smile became even brighter. "Marquis Zhennan is my steward now, so how can he embezzle the silver? This silver was promised by the old lady. If you want it, go ask her for it!"
I called you here today just to inform you of this news, not to discuss it with you.
A while ago, I just sued the ambitious Gu Qingqing. Could it be that the clan leaders also want me to sue you for robbery?"
Hearing this, no one dared to speak anymore.
The Su Yuan in front of him was not someone to be trifled with. She even dared to kill her own relatives and get rid of Concubine De, not to mention that they were just relatives of the Gu family?
I’m afraid this money will be gone in the future.
"Since Madam has made the decision, we can't say anything. We respect Madam's decision." After a while, the patriarch began to summarize the matter.
Money is important, but their lives are more important!
They really didn't dare to offend Su Yuan, this crazy woman.
Hearing this, Su Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
This is right.
Let her waste money to support these termites? Wishful thinking!
She would rather use her money to support the soldiers than to support these old guys who rely on their age to bully others.
"Thank you all for your understanding, clan leaders." Su Yuan stood up and saluted them.
Several clan leaders were resentful and just responded with a few words before leaving.
Su Yuan didn't indulge them and directly asked a maid to send them out.
What a bunch of old bastards! Do you still want to control her like you did Zhou?
Simply wishful thinking.
After Su Yuan dealt with several clan leaders, she went back to have dinner with Gu Yu.
"Mom, I'd better live in the academy next month. I'm thinking of winning the first prize by the end of the year." Gu Yu proposed the idea of continuing to live in the academy.
He returned home every day and then went to the academy the next day, so he had no time to review his lessons.
He also wants to practice martial arts so that he can win first place for his mother in the final exam at the end of the year.
He wanted to let everyone in Kyoto see that his mother's son was the best!
Sima Ziyue and Liu Xun both live in the academy, and he is the only one who returns home every day. If this continues, he will become addicted to this comfort.
He didn't want to be a waste! He didn't want to be like other young masters of noble families who only knew how to enjoy themselves.
"Okay, Yu'er, if you want to live in the academy, then you can live in the academy. I will pick you up when you have a day off." Su Yuan agreed.
Her son wants to make progress, how can she, as a mother, hold him back?
She supports whatever Gu Yu wants to do.
"Just don't overwork yourself, Yu'er. Remember to strike a balance between work and rest, and don't overwork yourself and make your mother worry." Su Yuan reminded.
Gu Yu nodded and agreed, "I understand! I will take good care of myself."
After Gu Yu moved to the academy, the Marquis' Mansion became much quieter.
Su Yuan had just finished lunch alone when the secret guard she had sent to keep an eye on Gu Huan came to report on Gu Huan's recent situation.
"Madam, the people from the Zhenxi Marquis's residence captured Young Master...Gu Huan. They first beat him up, then locked him up in the woodshed and starved him for two days. For the next ten days, he was kept in the woodshed, with only rice soup to feed him every day. He was only released yesterday.
Gu Huan has lost a lot of weight. Now the Zheng family has made him a servant to serve the son of Zhenxi Marquis. If the son makes any mistake, they will cut off his legs and hands.
Madam, do you want me to rescue him?"
Although Gu Huan is not Madam's biological child, he has been with Madam for ten years. How can she just give up on him?
Gu Huan has suffered a lot during this period. Madam, you should be more sympathetic, right?
Su Yuan shook her head: "No need! You don't have to keep an eye on him from now on."
Although the secret guard was a little surprised, he still took the order and retreated.
