When Su Shunci heard Su Chengye ordering someone to get Aunt Lian's indenture, the corners of her lips couldn't help but slightly raise, but then returned to normal in an instant.

Su Chengye stood there with his hands behind his back, determined to suppress his daughter's arrogance today. Otherwise, no one in the family would take him seriously as a father.

Soon, the housekeeper brought over Aunt Lian's indenture.

Su Chengye gestured to hand it to Su Shunci. He wanted to see what Su Shunci could do after getting the indenture.

Only when one has no way out can he lower his head and surrender.

Su Shunci took the indenture handed over by Su Zhong, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, and put it in her arms after confirming that it was correct. This was her aunt's free body.

"Since my father is determined to draw a line between us mother and daughter, we will not shamelessly stay in the Su family."

After saying that, Su Shunci turned around and walked out of Songhe Hall.

Su Chengye then became anxious. He didn't expect this girl to be so cold and hard.

He wanted to speak to stop the person, but for a moment he didn't know how to start. When he came to his senses again, Su Shunci had already left Songhe Hall and went to Aunt Lian's residence.

Su Zhong was still reminding Su Chengye, "My Lord, what should we do now? Should we stop the Fourth Miss? And Aunt Zeng is still waiting for you to go over and take a look."

Su Chengye thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Aunt Zeng's place. If this evil creature wants to leave, just let her. If she can't survive outside, she will naturally come back."

Su Chengye thought that even if Su Shunci took Aunt Lian out of the house, she would still look terrified and desperate.

Little did she know that when Su Shunci went to see Aunt Lian, she was smiling with her eyes curved and humming a song.

From the moment her stepmother Lin Wanyin divorced her father and left the Marquis' Mansion, Su Shunci had thought more than once that it would be great if she and her mother could also leave the Marquis' Mansion.

But it was just a thought, she knew it was impossible. Apart from anything else, the Su family would never return the indenture of the aunt to them.

And she is the daughter of the Su family after all. Even if the Su family uses her for a random marriage, they will not give her freedom.

But there are some things that are beyond human control. Step by step, we have finally come to this day.

Su Shunci was even a little dazed and couldn't believe that she and her aunt could really leave the Su family.

As for what to do after leaving the mansion, Su Shunci had already thought about it. With Huajin Pavilion, she and her aunt would have no problem with food, clothing and other expenses.

After leaving the mansion, she first lived in the backyard of Huajin Pavilion. Then she slowly found a suitable yard to buy, and she and her aunt settled down.

She also thought that without the identity of the fourth daughter of the Su family, those noble ladies might not do business with her anymore. But it didn't matter, even if she became a female shopkeeper in the Lin family, she could still support her aunt.

Her confidence does not come from how much money she has, but from her ability to live and earn money outside.

My third cousin is right. The ability to make money is the foundation of life. It is far more real than status, money, and empty halo.

Although I was a little scared about the future after taking this step, I was more happy and looking forward to it.

Su Shunci entered the inner room of the main house in Aunt Lian's courtyard and saw a maid applying medicine to her. Only then did she realize that she had been pushed and hit the corner of the wall during the quarrel with Aunt Zeng.

Su Shunci stood up and was about to go find Aunt Zeng to settle the score, but was stopped by Aunt Lian.

"Don't go, she's pregnant, don't mess with her."

Su Shunci snorted in her heart, so what if she is pregnant? Even if she gives birth to eight sons, it is useless, the title of the Marquis's Mansion belongs to the eldest brother.

Since she was leaving, she didn't want to cause any more trouble. Fortunately, Aunt Lian's hand was only slightly bruised and not serious.

Su Shunci sent the servants away, took out the indenture and showed it to Aunt Lian, and explained to her what had just happened in Songhe Hall.

After explaining everything, Su Shunci held Aunt Lian's hand and said, "Aunt, from now on, we will live a simple life together as mother and daughter."

She thought Aunt Lian would be puzzled, reluctant, and would question her.

But no, Aunt Lian was just stunned for a moment, then said: "Okay, pack up and let's go. I wonder when Madam will come back from Yunzhou. Will I be able to see Madam often in the future?"

There was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Su Shunci finally understood that her aunt had no attachment to this mansion. She probably envied her mother for being able to divorce, just like her.

The mother and daughter simply packed up their gold and silver jewelry and did not take anything worthless.

The servants following Aunt Lian looked at each other in confusion, wondering why their two masters looked like they were going on a long journey.

Aunt Lian called her personal servants to her side and said that they had all been with her and they needed an explanation.

Su Shunci packed the reward money prepared in advance into purses and distributed them to several people.

Aunt Lian held her indenture in her hand and said, "The Marquis has just kicked me and the Fourth Miss out of the Marquis' Mansion. You have all followed me for many years, so please accept this kindness. As for where you will serve in the future, just wait for the instructions of the housekeeper's wife."

Several maids were stunned for a moment. They were kicked out of the mansion?

Isn't that the same as falling from heaven to the ground?

Although Aunt Lian was not favored in the mansion, she was still a legitimate concubine in the mansion, and her food, clothing and expenses were even better than those of the wives of small families. There were so many maids in the mansion who wanted to marry the marquis, but they had no chance.

"Auntie, why don't you go and beg the Marquis? The Marquis may have just said that out of anger." The maid Cui'e advised, "You must not leave the mansion. The lives of ordinary people are difficult. It's not as good as being in the Marquis' mansion, with the Marquis to rely on."

There was something Cui'e didn't say: at Aunt Lian's age and status, it would be difficult for her to remarry.

The other maids also agreed with Cui'e's words. In their opinion, how could they have a good life if they were driven out by their men?

It's no wonder they think so. Although the Great Zhou is relatively tolerant of women, allowing them to engage in business and divorce, in reality, there are very few female bosses who can actually do business outside, and even fewer who can divorce.

Lin Wanyin is lucky, she has an open-minded father and brother, and a daughter and son-in-law who can support her. The Lin family and Su Qingyu are the support and confidence that Lin Wanyin has relied on to get to where she is today.

But Aunt Lian obviously has no such support.

In the eyes of everyone, even if the fourth young lady could manage a shop, it would be useless. Could she really support herself?

Su Shunci looked around and saw that everyone was looking at her with puzzled and pitying eyes. She did not explain but simply said, "Mother, we should go now."

Now that Aunt Lian has left the Su family, she doesn't have to call her Aunt anymore.

The mother and daughter walked out of the inner courtyard and headed towards the main gate, where they met Su Qingyu and Jinyun coming in from outside.

When Jinyun heard that the young lady and the aunt were going to be driven out, she cried and wanted to go with Su Shunci. But Jinyun's indenture contract was in the Su family, and Su Shunci could not take her away. Later, Su Qingyu said that she would find a way to get Jinyun's indenture contract so that she could still follow the fourth young lady.

Su Shunci said that her father attacked Aunt Lian because Aunt Zeng was pregnant. Su Qingyu frowned slightly at first, then burst out laughing.

Pregnant?

This is interesting.
