Su Junjie knew his mother's problem, but he could only respond in a low voice:

"Don't worry, mother. Nothing will happen to my cousin! Everyone knows that if one prospers, all prosper. If this matter gets out of hand, it will involve too many people. The Marquis will never allow a scandal to happen in the Marquis' Mansion. He will only try his best to cover it up!"

As soon as these words came out, the second wife understood immediately, and then she heard her son say:

"However, the West Mansion has really behaved badly this time. Mother should bring the two sisters over to sincerely apologize... and bring some good things over to save face!"

Tang Lishi couldn't help but feel pained when she thought about taking the good things. She had indeed given a lot of financial support to her parents' home in the past few years. Although her own monthly allowance was not small, she couldn't save much!

In order to prepare a dowry for her daughter, she gritted her teeth and contributed another 2,000 taels from her own pocket, in addition to the 5,000 taels from the public treasury!

After thinking it over, he finally made up his mind and gave up the set of pearl and gold headdress he had prepared for his daughter. With great heartache, he took Su Qingya and Su Qingli back to the East Palace!

This time, the second wife listened to her son, put aside all her plans, smiled as if she was wearing a mask, and spoke with full sincerity!

"Sister-in-law, my sister-in-law was foolish before. We shouldn't have indulged Ya'er and the other two and made them do such disgraceful things! Of course, as their mother, I shouldn't have been lax in educating them... Today, my sister-in-law and the children sincerely apologize to you and Ling'er!"

At this moment, Liu Yunjia and Su Qingling looked at each other and felt that the Second Madam had suddenly changed her personality. Her previous sarcasm and harshness were gone. It was really strange!

When the second wife saw that her two daughters were standing beside her with unhappy faces and not saying a word, she angrily pushed them to the front one by one!

"Why don't you two apologize to your big sister!"

Su Qingya was already unhappy about being forced to come here, but she also knew that she was under the control of the eldest wife, so she could only bow reluctantly and say:

"sorry!"

Unexpectedly, Su Qingling ignored her and was obviously very dissatisfied with her perfunctory attitude!

The second wife was worried about her nephew's affairs, but she was annoyed that the damn girl would not give in, so she pinched her daughter's arm hard:

"You damn girl, if you did something wrong, just apologize. Who knows what you did when you look like this?"

Su Qingya was pinched so hard that it hurt, "Oh my... Mom, it hurts!"

After calling out a few times, she saw her mother was about to reach out her hand again, so she quickly bowed respectfully and said:

"Big sister, Yaer was wrong, please forgive me!"

Su Qingli was a man who could adapt to the situation, so she was very sincere and bowed:

"Li'er did something wrong. Please keep your mouth shut in the future. Please forgive me, big sister!"

Su Qingling didn't have many feelings for the people from the second house. She was fine with these two when they were young, but when they grew up, they became close to Su Qingyan. She became much more distant from these two!

Now that I am married, I don't want to get entangled with them too much, so I said with a smile:

"Please stand up, my two sisters. We are sisters. You can't write two Su characters with one stroke. Remember to consider the overall situation when doing things in the future!"

Su Qingya's face turned sour, she bit her lip and rubbed her arm as she stepped aside, and Su Qingli naturally also stepped aside obediently!

Tang Lishi hurriedly asked someone to take out the box containing the head ornaments, put it on the table, and forced a smile:

"Sister-in-law, look, Decai has beaten and scolded him. If this child is really sent to the government office and leaves a family, his life will be ruined..."

Seeing Liu Yunjia looking at Su Qingling, he hurried over and leaned forward and said:

"Ling'er, what do you want to do to vent your anger? I'll tell my elder brother and let him try to satisfy him. What do you think?"

Su Qingling then said:

"Second Aunt, I am lucky to have escaped this time! If he had succeeded, not only would I have died, but my two younger sisters' marriages would also have been affected, wouldn't they?"

Tang Lishi had actually realized it a long time ago, otherwise she wouldn't have felt so guilty. She could only smile awkwardly:

"Yes, yes, Decai really deserves to die. If he were not my nephew, I would have thrown him into the mountains to feed the wild animals... But... I have no choice but to take care of his life or death now..."

"Besides, he is related to our family after all!..."

Before Su Qingling could speak, she heard her second brother say in a strange voice:

"Second Aunt, that thief is your relative and has nothing to do with us! If it weren't for your face, no matter what he did, he would never feel relieved even if he stayed in jail for eight or ten years!"

These words made Tang Lishi's barely maintained smile no longer break. She stood up and said sternly:

"He is my nephew. If you dare to throw him into jail, then...then we won't be able to live a good life!"

Before Su Lijie could finish his words, he heard Liu Yunjia sneer:

"It seems that my sister-in-law has long been dissatisfied with our eldest house. Why not ask the Marquis to write a letter and invite my second uncle back to discuss how to deal with your good nephew!"

When Tang Lishi heard this, she instantly wilted and said angrily:

"It's just a small matter, there's no need to alarm my master!"

If the master really knew what she did today, he would probably divorce her with a letter of divorce, and then she would have no chance of living!

"It's a small matter? ... Almost killing someone is a small matter? Tang Lishi, are you blinded by greed or blinded by dung? If something goes wrong, my Ling'er will die, and the face of the Marquis's Mansion will be lost. How can you let the children go out and face people with their chests held high?"

Liu Yunjia wanted to use the walnut screwdriver to open this woman's head to see if it was filled with glue and why she was blindly defending her nephew!

At this moment, Su Qianjie, who was listening outside the wall, couldn't hold it in any longer and walked in quickly with a really bad look on his face!

He bowed to his aunt as a junior, then stood up and said:

"Mother is confused, please forgive me, aunt! Cousin Decai has been acting more and more uncivilized in recent years, and he should suffer a little! Let's wait for uncle to come back and make the decision!"

He knew that although his uncle was upright, he would not let his younger brother and sister-in-law completely lose face because of this matter!

Unfortunately, Su Lijie was not as he wished!

"Father is so busy that he doesn't have time to deal with these things... If I don't teach her a lesson this time, I'm afraid she won't learn her lesson... I have a suggestion..."

Everyone looked at him, and then he smiled slyly:

"Send it to the government office..."

Tang Lishi's face changed drastically, and she heard her nephew continue to say:

"Second Aunt is suffering with me! It's really unbearable..."

Tang Lishi let out another long sigh!

"Otherwise, just give him a hundred lashes and tell him to stay away from the Su family in the future!"

As soon as Su Lijie finished speaking, Tang Lishi shouted at the top of her voice:

"No... He'll be dead after a hundred blows!"

Su Lijie's face darkened and he exuded a murderous aura. Even Su Mingjie felt his breath stop. He felt that this cousin, who was one year older than him, had an amazing aura!

He quickly took over the conversation and said:

"Although he must be punished, if he kills someone, the nature of the matter changes... Otherwise, for my sake, beat him with fifty sticks and ask him to pay a hundred taels of silver."

Feeling that what I said was a bit petty, I hurriedly explained:

"The truth is, he has ruined the family and almost lost everything. My mother has to pay for this hundred taels first!"
