Jasmine hurriedly led the way in front. After Su Yue asked Song Mingtao to leave, she followed silently behind with Nanny Yang and Rendong.

Along the way, Su Yue's mind was racing, wondering why Old Madam Su wanted to see her this time.

Jasmine suddenly slowed down halfway through her walk. Su Yue was still a little confused when she heard Jasmine say, "It was because I was too anxious just now that I forgot that the young lady's foot injury had just healed."

Su Yue was slightly startled, and then a trace of warmth surged in her heart. She glanced at Jasmine and said softly, "It doesn't matter. You also want to take me to see the old lady as soon as possible."

Jasmine lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, "My lady, you are too generous. It is I who was inconsiderate."

After passing through the winding corridors and courtyards, they arrived at Songning Garden. Jasmine went in first to report, and came out after a while to invite Su Yue in.

Su Yue took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and walked into the house.

I saw that Su Yuanwang and his wife and the people from the second house were also there, and Su Yao was crying with tears in her eyes. Old Madam Su held Su Yao in her arms and coaxed her like her sweetheart.

Su Yue saw that Su Yuanwang was looking at her with a dark face and his eyes were full of blame, while Zhou Ruoxue also looked at Su Yao with a distressed look.

The people in the second room acted as if it was none of their business. Some were drinking tea, while others were thinking with their heads down.

Judging from the expressions of everyone in the room, Su Yue knew that they were dissatisfied with her for having won the Queen's favor, and Zhou Ruoxue and her daughter must have exaggerated what happened in the palace.

"Madam, what do you want from me?"

Madam Su raised her eyes and looked at Su Yue coldly after hearing this, "Madam? Not bad, really not bad. After receiving the phoenix hairpin awarded by the Queen, you have become so arrogant that you don't respect your elders."

Su Yuanwang slammed the table and angrily said, "You rebellious girl, why don't you apologize to your grandmother right away."

Su Yue rolled her eyes. "Apologize? What have I done wrong? Old Madam, do you want me to wear the phoenix hairpin and kowtow to you to admit my mistake? Old Madam, even if you dare to do that, I, Su Yue, don't dare. Well, if you have nothing else to do, I will go back first."

When Su Yue said this, everyone in the room was shocked. Old Madam Su was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Su Yue and said, "You... you unfilial daughter, how dare you talk back to your elders like this! Boss, look at your good daughter!"

"I think you are rebelling. The Queen's phoenix hairpin is noble, but it is not for you to use it to become arrogant." Su Yuanwang said angrily, then stood up and was about to teach Su Yue a lesson.

Zhou Ruoxue quickly stood up to stop Su Yuanwang and said softly, "Master, calm down. Yue'er may have been confused for a moment, which is why she said such a thing."

After that, she turned to look at Su Yue, with reproach and worry in her eyes, "Yuer, why don't you admit your mistakes to your grandmother and father quickly, and don't be so stubborn anymore."

Su Yao also stopped crying at this time. A trace of gloating flashed in her eyes, but she said hypocritically: "Sister, just listen to your father and mother and admit your mistake to your grandmother. Don't hurt the harmony of the family because of a momentary anger."

The people from the second room remained silent, but their eyes revealed an expression of wanting to watch the fun.

Su Yue looked at the people in the room who all had their own thoughts and sneered in her heart: What a crazy family.

She straightened her back and said fearlessly, "I did nothing wrong, why should I admit it? The Queen Mother gave me the Phoenix Hairpin as a reward to show her appreciation. I have never done anything disrespectful to my elders. If Grandmother and Father are dissatisfied just because I received the Queen Mother's reward, then you are narrow-minded."

Su Yuanwang was so angry at Su Yue's words that his face turned blue. "You rebellious girl, you are really stubborn. If I don't teach you a lesson today, I don't know what kind of disaster you will cause in the future." As he said that, he ordered the servants to bring the family rules.

This time, Zhou Ruoxue did not try to stop Su Yuanwang, but instead raised the corners of her mouth slightly: I'll let you be rampant and proud, and if I don't beat you until your skin is torn, you won't know what the sky is and the earth is thick.

At this time, the servant quickly brought the family stick, which was a thick and long rattan stick, and the whole stick was dark black, emitting a terrifying aura.

Su Yue snorted in her heart. The cane was taken so quickly, it must have been prepared long ago. It seemed that the Su family was going to punish her today.

Very good, as long as Su Yuanwang really dares to attack her, no member of the Su family will be able to leave this house safely today.

Originally, she planned to stay in the Su family for a few more days, and then tie up Zhou Ruoxue and stuff her into the bridal sedan on the wedding day, and have Zhou Ruoxue marry into the Duke Li's mansion.

But given what happened today, she had no choice but to give up this plan and leave the Su family early because she would never accept being beaten.

Su Yuanwang took the cane and looked at Su Yue with eyes wide open. The look in his eyes didn't look like he was looking at his own flesh and blood, but an enemy.

Nanny Yang and Ren Dong immediately stood in front of Su Yue. Nanny Yang said anxiously, "Madam, Master, the young lady is not feeling well today and cannot bear this beating! Otherwise, she should be punished by copying the female ring."

"Female rings?" Madam Su snorted coldly, "Look at her. Even if I gave her the female rings tens of thousands of times, she would not repent. I have to teach her a lesson today, so that she knows what rules and filial piety are."

Su Yue, however, showed no fear, her eyes full of stubbornness and unyielding spirit. She looked at Su Yuanwang coldly and said, "Sir Su, if you hit me today, you will regret it later.

The Queen's reward is a recognition of me. You want to teach me a lesson without knowing right or wrong. Aren't you afraid of offending the Queen?"

Su Yuanwang paused for a moment when he heard this, but soon became firm again, "Humph, how could the Queen blame my Su family because of you? You have disobeyed your elders today, you must be punished."

After saying that, Su Yuanwang raised the cane high up. Just as he was about to swing it down, Rendong stopped him with his hand, "Master, the young lady is your own flesh and blood. How can you be so cruel as to do that to her?"

Su Yuanwang glared at Ren Dong, "How dare you, you servant, stop me from enforcing the family law? Come, take this servant who doesn't know how to live or die away and give him twenty strokes of the cane."

Several maids immediately stepped forward and tried to drag Ren Dong away. Su Yue saw this and shouted angrily, "Who dares! If you touch Ren Dong today, I will make sure you pay the price."

Everyone was intimidated by Su Yue's aura and did not dare to act rashly for a while.

Su Yao first reacted and then went into Madam Su's arms with a frightened look on her face.

"Grandmother, you see, my elder sister now has the Queen's phoenix hairpin, and her demeanor is different.

"Eldest sister had said in the palace that mother treated her badly, which made our Su family lose face. Now she dares to act like this after coming back. Isn't eldest sister too arrogant?"

"Mother……"

Su Yuanzhe frowned and just opened his mouth when Wang Qiaoya gently tugged at his sleeve. Su Yuanzhe turned around and saw his wife gently shaking her head at him.

Su Yuanzhe thought about it and stopped talking. After all, it was the eldest wife's business. No matter how much trouble it caused, it should just be within the mansion and not be spread out.

Su Rou picked up the snack and took a sip. Today was truly wonderful.
