Chapter 457 The Vain Little Aunt 57
He forgot about Xiang Qingcao's safety, which naturally was not as important as his own daughter.
Mrs. Xiang suddenly forgot all the kindness Xiang Qingcao had shown her and was afraid that Xiang Qingcao's family's departure would drag down her daughter.
She couldn't help but curse, "That damn girl is so cunning. She left in a hurry and now we are left to face the unreasonable Su family. What if the Su family pursues the matter?"
Ah Zhi, who was standing by, hurriedly supported the mother-in-law and said gently, "Don't be angry, mother. The matter is not as serious as you think. I don't think the Su family will vent their anger on us."
"Yunyun thinks things are too simple. Madam Su cares so much about her grandson. Su Changqing is already dead. Xiang Qingcao's belly is Madam Su's only hope."
"No, I will explain the matter to the Su family now and let the Su family go to the capital to find Xiang Qingcao."
The old lady wiped the water stains off her hands and was about to go out, but luckily Ah Zhi pretended to sprain her ankle to make her stop.
Seeing that her daughter was accidentally hurt by herself, Xiang Pozi bent down and asked with a worried look on her face.
"What's wrong! But I accidentally hurt you just now?"
Ah Zhi pulled the old woman and shook his head gently.
"Mother, don't be impulsive. Now that Qingcao has left here, my eldest brother and his family are my brothers after all. How can we easily expose her location? Mother, don't cause trouble for my eldest brother."
Seeing that her daughter was so kind and always making plans for Xiang Youfu, the mother-in-law nodded helplessly.
"I really can't do anything about you. You are the only one thinking about your own brother, but your brother may not be thinking about you."
"Mom, Qingcao has suffered enough, and my brother has been worried enough. My eldest sister-in-law has treated me like her own daughter over the years. It is reasonable for me to speak up for them."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, okay?"
"Grandma, there's someone outside the door."
Xiang Qingtai rushed into the kitchen and said to Xiang Pozi, "There are so many people outside, all of whom I don't know. I don't know what they are here for."
Ah Zhi hurriedly clenched the old woman's hand, obviously having guessed who the person outside was.
Mother Xiang comforted Ah Zhi, "Don't worry, I will do what I promised you and will never go back on my word."
"Thank you ma'am."
Mrs. Su struggled to come to the Xiang family's door. She had someone carry her to the old house, but it was deserted and there was nothing there. She had no choice but to find the door of Mrs. Xiang.
Madam Su looked much thinner and haggard. Even though she felt extremely uncomfortable, she still asked her maid to support her and walk to the door.
Neighbors came out to watch the fun. Mrs. Su looked pale and weak, which made those around her feel sad.
I saw her wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
"Knock on the door and beg the old lady to see me."
When the other servants heard it, they rushed forward and knocked on the door. After a while, they forced the door open for the old woman.
Her eyes wandered over Madam Su.
"Who are you looking for?"
As soon as Mrs. Su saw Mrs. Xiang start to perform, her tears started to flow like crazy.
"Madam Xiang, please tell me where Qingcao is. My poor son passed away, and now all I have left is the posthumous child in Qingcao's belly. If I lose my only grandson, I really have no hope of living. Please tell me, Madam..."
Mrs. Su has a very friendly appearance, which makes people feel that she is particularly gentle.
Now she looks weak and sad, and she cries when she mentions her son. It's really heartbreaking to see her like that.
Some curious people nearby started to make a fuss.
"Mother Xiang, you are really a scoundrel. Madam Su's son is dead. You should let her see her grandson. It would be too cruel if you don't even agree to such a small wish."
The old woman who was speaking had a rather mean look on her face. She was obviously there to watch the fun and was hoping that things would get bigger and bigger.
The old woman glared at the old woman and cursed, "You dead man's shriveled crotch, stop chattering here, you deserve it because your dead man has no son, you don't have good words, believe it or not, I will tear your mouth to pieces?"
Seeing that the old woman was really angry, she shrank her neck and dared not speak.
Mrs. Xiang was well-known for her ability to hit people hard. She really wanted to beat the other person to death when she started to hit him.
It is no problem for Xiang Pozi to fight three people at once; even men may not be able to defeat her.
The old woman pursed her lips and turned away.
Seeing that Mrs. Xiang spoke so rudely, Mrs. Su felt uneasy.
The other party's insults were too harsh. She clearly didn't say a word to insult her, but she just felt that Xiang was making indirect accusations.
Madam Su said in a weak voice, "The old lady is a little too harsh. I just want to see my grandson. Changqing is gone. I will take Qingcao back now. I will definitely treat her like my own daughter in the future..."
"You don't have to say these things to me. There are some things you should say to Xiang Qingcao. What's the point of telling me? The person is no longer in the village. Can you still ask me to find him for you?"
"By the way, didn't I hear that Su Changqing has a concubine who is also pregnant? Isn't this a ready-made hope? Why do we still need to count on Xiang Qingcao who has already left?"
I didn't expect that Mrs. Xiang actually knew about Bai Yuling's affairs. In fact, Mrs. Xiang didn't know about it at the beginning.
Ah Zhi had just told her this so that he could have something to talk about to stop Madam Su, so as to avoid being at a disadvantage by confronting Madam Su.
Sure enough, when asking about Bai Yuling, Mrs. Su's face became even uglier.
Just now his face was pale and a little weak, but now his whole face is blue.
Isn’t this a blatant exposure of one’s shortcomings?
She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times.
"Madam, you are joking. When did Changqing have a concubine?"
Madam Su was obviously unwilling to admit it, and she folded her arms and snorted coldly at the old woman.
"You don't think you can hide it from us, do you? We are indeed civilians, but we are not caged. Can you still hide the matter of Bai Yuling from us? You will know if you ask carefully. I have heard everything."
Someone nearby started discussing in a low voice.
"I seem to have heard about this incident. There was indeed a girl in front of the Su family shouting that she was pregnant."
"Yes, I have heard about this matter as well. At the time, I thought it was a mistake, but now it seems to be Young Master Su's romantic debt."
......
These gossips started talking at once. Madam Su clenched her handkerchief tightly, suppressing her anger. She couldn't help cursing Bai Yuling in her heart as a nuisance.
If Bai Yuling hadn't done such shameless things, he wouldn't be in such a situation now.
Originally, I thought that family disgrace should not be made public, so even if Bai Yuling acted inappropriately, I didn't want outsiders to know.
Now Mrs. Su had to explain with a stiff expression.
"This matter is just a misunderstanding. The old lady misunderstood everything. Bai Yuling is not pregnant. She is not Changqing's concubine. Some things are just misunderstandings."
"It was our Su family who wronged Qingcao before. Now that the matter has been clarified, please don't be too angry, old lady."
Madam Su wanted to easily say that the matter was a misunderstanding, but the mother-in-law rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "You really put it lightly. Didn't you ask to marry Qingcao because of Qingcao's fate?"
"You think that green grass brings blessings and can make Su Changqing live a long life, but this man started to abuse her after marrying her. I feel really sorry for my granddaughter."
"I was born by my mother and raised by my father. How could I tolerate your bullying? Su Changqing abandoned his wife for Bai Yuling, proposed a divorce himself, and even drove away the pregnant Qingcao."
"Now that Su Changqing is gone, what's the point of you coming here? You didn't know how to cherish him, you deserve it."
No matter how you look at it, the matter between Su Changqing and Xiang Qingcao is the Su family's fault. What Xiang Po said is indeed correct, but it should not be brought up in the open.
This made Mrs. Su's body shaky.
"The old lady is right. This matter is not handled properly by our Su family. However, it has already happened. There is no way to turn it around. Please let me see Qingcao."
Seeing that she could not win the argument with the eloquent Xiang mother-in-law, Mrs. Su chose to use moral blackmail, and every word she said mentioned the dead Su Changqing, making herself sound very innocent.
At this moment, Azhi came out and bowed to Mrs. Su.
"Madam, what you said is not right. I understand that you want to have a grandson, but we don't know where Xiang Qingcao has gone. Ever since Qingcao left the Su family, the gossip behind her back has never stopped."
"There are some things Madam Su should know. Qingcao has not violated any of the seven grounds for divorce. She has been a law-abiding person since she got married, and has been filial to her parents-in-law and taken care of her husband. Qingcao did not want to hear such unpleasant words and chose to leave. We don't know where she went, so please go back, Madam."
No matter how soft or hard the attack was, the other party was determined not to tell him Xiang Qingcao's whereabouts.
Now Mrs. Su was really anxious.
The fact that she dragged her sick body to the Xiang family meant that she was determined to find Xiang Qingcao.
Now that Xiang Pozi's family said they didn't know Xiang Qingcao's whereabouts, Madam Su refused to believe it no matter what.
At the same time, her resentment towards Bai Yuling deepened.
"Old lady, I beg you to tell me the whereabouts of Qingcao and the child."
Seeing that Madam Su was about to kneel down, the servants beside her knelt on the ground in a crowd.
Azhi now understood why Madam Su brought a group of maids and servants with her. It turned out that she was waiting here for the Xiang family.
Mrs. Xiang's face looked very ugly. Azhi stepped forward to support her and shook her head gently, meaning that Mrs. Xiang should not be too impulsive.
If the Xiang family quarrels with Madam Su now, they will not gain any benefits.
Xiang Pozi frowned and gritted her teeth. Seeing that Azhi tried not to let her act impulsive, she actually slapped her thigh and started crying on the spot.
"You are really making things difficult for ordinary people like us. Xiang Youfu's family has already separated from us. How should I know where they went?"
"Now you're forcing me to tell you where they are. How can I find them? The world is so big, are you trying to force an old woman like me to death?"
Xiang Pozi slapped her thigh hard, tears streaming down her face, while Azhi beside her wiped her tears.
Mrs. Su's side was crowded with people, which seemed a bit like bullying.
Just when Mrs. Su didn't know how to deal with it, Su Changliu suddenly rushed up. He didn't come to help Mrs. Su. The first words he said were to condemn Mrs. Su.
"Mother, how can you embarrass others?"
I thought my second son came to speak for me, but I didn't expect that his first sentence was to blame me for making things difficult for the Xiang family.
This made Mrs. Su look incredulous?
She came back to her senses and whispered, "Why am I the only one who makes things difficult for others? Chang Liu, what do you mean by this? Why are you blaming me for no reason?"
She had already felt a little aggrieved by what Xiang had said just now, and now her son was not standing on her side. Mrs. Su's eyes were red and her voice was trembling.
It’s a pity that Su Changliu’s attention was on Azhi and he didn’t notice the sad Mrs. Su at all.
"What did mother say? I came here to make inquiries this afternoon. My sister-in-law has already moved away. No one in the village knows her whereabouts. Isn't it aggressive of you to show up here now?"
"What do you want them to do? You brought so many maids and servants with you, kneeling in front of their door. This is unreasonable."
Following Su Changliu's condemnation, the people watching nearby began to talk.
Madam Su pulled Su Changliu and whispered to him, "Why are you here to make trouble? You know why I am here, but you still want to poke my heart. Su Changliu, are you worthy of your elder brother?"
Faced with Mrs. Su's disappointment, Su Changliu couldn't help but look at Azhi beside him.
Ah Zhi's eyes were red and she looked very weak. Her beautiful and bright eyes seemed to be asking for help at this moment, which made Su Changliu straighten his chest.
"Mother is wrong. My eldest brother and his wife have already divorced. Even if my eldest brother has passed away and my eldest sister-in-law has moved away, mother shouldn't force her relatives."
"you!"
Mrs. Su was almost angry to death by Su Changliu.
She pointed at Su Changliu and clenched her teeth. Su Changliu then supported her and walked out, while also asking the maids and servants to leave.
"If you continue to stand here, I will sell you out. Today you indulge your sick mother, tomorrow I will make you all get out of the Su family."
After Su Changliu's fit of anger just now, Mrs. Su felt even more uncomfortable.
Even though she didn't want to leave the Xiang family's door, she had to be dragged away by Su Changliu.
The fierce quarrel only broke out after the mother and son got on the carriage.
Mother Xiang watched Su Changliu take Madam Su away with just a few words, which made her face full of surprise.
She looked at Ah Zhi and asked in disbelief, "She left just like that? I thought she wouldn't cry until she saw the coffin. She had to see Xiang Qingcao today. I didn't expect she would leave so easily."
Ah Zhi shook his head and sighed at Mother Xiang, "Mother thinks too simply. Su Changliu helped us today. If he hadn't taken Madam Su away, maybe Madam Su wouldn't have left so easily."
"She just wants to take Qingcao back, but if the Su family achieves their goal, it will be difficult for Qingcao to see the child."
Thinking about the complicated affairs of the Su family, Mrs. Xiang's face could not be more ugly.
