Chapter 207: Drowning a child is like killing a child

 Mother Hong folded her hands, bent slightly, and bowed to Mrs. Xu Guogong.

“I’m here to see Mr. Su,” she said. “Our second wife is sick, and the eldest girl has injured her ankle. The person who caused this must be punished today. I’m here to have a look, so that I can go back to my house and tell my masters.”

Mrs. Xu Guogong's body was shaking with anger.

Su Ke said fiercely: "Have you seen it now? Are you satisfied? Get out!"

Grandma Hong's expression remained unchanged: "After reading it, I'm quite satisfied. It won't be too late for me to return home after the Third Young Master leaves the city."

This response was gentle in tone but very arrogant in attitude.

Mrs. Xu Guogong couldn't hold back her anger and cursed: "It's true that a tiger has been bullied by a dog! How dare a woman come to our Duke Xu's house and speak nonsense!"

I really regret now, I regret that I made such a marriage for Ke'er in the first place!

A daughter of a sister -in -law, we begged to marry well, what about Bo Fu? Even if they break off the engagement, they won’t let us go!

If it weren't for Lin Yunjing, how could something happen to Ke'er?

What bad luck! "

Not far away, Mrs. Xu Guogong woke up.

　　She had cried so hard that she was exhausted, and was helped by the maids to rest in the car.

 Unexpectedly, with just such a little effort, my mother-in-law would...

 Before coming out, we had obviously discussed it, but we just met Ke'er and never mentioned anything about it.

Now, not only have I mentioned it, but I am also so vicious and confused.

How will she explain to the Duke later?

Without caring about her own health, the Duke's wife hurriedly got out of the car, stumbled into the old lady's side, and advised her: "Don't be angry, she is just a woman, and she is not worthy of your anger."

Hong’s face was full of anger, but she was extremely restrained: “It’s wrong of you to say that.

No matter whose family the Third Young Master was engaged to in the first place, if his inappropriate behavior is exposed, the woman will want to break off the engagement.

 It is said that we girls are lucky to have found out about this matter before we got married. If it had been after marriage, we still don’t know if we would have been able to get away from it!

 Having withdrawn from the marriage, the two families have returned to each other and have nothing to do with each other from now on.

 But the Third Young Master deliberately harmed others and almost killed our wife and girl!

 You are looking for trouble in your own family, so we will say "bad luck"! "

"You!" Mrs. Xu Guogong couldn't hear such words, her blood surged and she couldn't stop talking.

All the excuses for Su Ke were poured out.

The Duke's wife was so anxious that she wanted to cover the old lady's mouth, but she only covered half of it. Seeing that more and more people were watching around her, and the comments were getting louder and louder, a white light flashed in front of her eyes and passed away again.

 The city gate guards saw that something was not going well here and hurriedly came to maintain the situation.

First let the escorting officials take Su Ke out of the city, and then let the people from Xu Guogong's mansion take away the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

 Mother Hong sighed: “Drowning a child is like killing a child.”

 After saying that, she took one last look at Su Ke's back, turned around and headed towards her carriage.

The common people did not disperse, and they were still discussing each other word by word.

“The old lady was crying so sadly. I thought she was a charitable person, but I didn’t expect her to be so fierce!”

 “How can he raise a grandson like that without being cruel? It’s obvious that his grandson is in a mess, and in the end it’s all other people’s fault.”

“Uncle Chengyi is really lucky. If he found out after marriage, Duke Xu would be so unreasonable, and it would be difficult to get divorced.”

"No! If Uncle Chengyi looks at it, he won't quarrel, he will only reason."

 “Look at my grandma, no matter how angry she is, she always speaks in a straight tone.”

“What did scholars call this a while ago?”

 “Neither humble nor arrogant.”

 “Yes, yes, yes, neither humble nor arrogant!”

On the carriage, Grandma Hong took the drink that Wan Yue handed her, moistened her throat and calmed down her shock.

 After a bowl of sweet hot drink, she felt much better. "You still have a way." Grandma Hong said to Lin Yunyan.

Lin Yunyan smiled lightly.

She knew that it was not only Su Ke who could not be provoked, but also Mrs. Xu Guogong.

 Once you get angry, you dare to say anything nonsense.

 As for the problem of getting over in a hurry, it seems that he inherited it from the Duke's wife.

"One is one, and two is two. Su Ke did evil first, so we can't make them cry together and make people only remember the friendship between ancestors and grandchildren." Lin Yunyan said.

Hong Mammy nodded: "If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, we must see through their true colors."

After saying that, she patted her chest again: "To tell you the truth, my heart was beating fast when I just said what I said. If you want to make a joke, the old lady will bite you when she sees the hook, but you can't really laugh, so you can only keep a straight face. If you speak, your secret will be revealed."

Wanyue smiled and said: "You have to learn from Aunt Wang in this regard, she is great."

Lin Yunyan rolled her eyes: "Send Su Ke off, let's go see Yu Pu."

 There is a poetry meeting in Nancheng today.

 Chen Gui inquired and said that Yu Pu would attend.

 When we got to the place, Grandma Hong got out of the car.

Chen Gui had arrived a long time ago and quietly pointed to her: "The one standing over there, wearing dark blue clothes."

Hong took a closer look and said, "Yes, he was the one who helped us that day and didn't leave his name."

“Just make sure,” Chen Gui said. “Mom, tell the princess, everything will be done.”

 The poetry session lasted until the afternoon.

 Chen Gui came forward and saluted happily with all the students.

Someone asked: "The boss is here to make Shenghui Pavilion famous again?"

"We will open the door soon to welcome guests," Chen Gui said with a smile, "I have established a good relationship, and you will come to visit me more in the future."

The study room given by Chen Gui follows the path of the Poetry Society. The things are practical for the students and not too expensive. They are the prizes in the competition. The students who stand out will not be burdened if they accept them.

And Chen Gui is a good talker. No matter who he makes friends with, he greets each other politely and thoughtfully when meeting.

“Brother Yu,” Chen Gui said cheerfully, “can you lend me a moment to speak?”

 Yu Pu responded.

 The two of them went to the private room upstairs.

 Chen Gui got straight to the point: "Thank you for your help on the mountain road two days ago."

Yu Pu was stunned for a moment.

 His impression of Chen Gui came from other students. He knew that Chen Dong's family wanted to run a study business, and he had been busy working on it recently.

So much so that he had put it in the back of his mind that "Chen Dong's family is related to Uncle Chengyi's family" that he had vaguely heard of.

 Chen Dong's family was looking for him, but he still didn't doubt that he was there.

"This..." Yu Pu touched the tip of his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, "How could my boss know?"

Chen Guidao: "Brother was in a hurry that day and left a piece of paper behind. We only found you from the handwriting."

Hearing this, Yu Pu's face turned red: "I, I'm not..."

 Chen Gui couldn't help but laugh when he saw his reaction.

"I know that I helped someone when they were in trouble. I didn't want anything in return, and I didn't want to be said, 'I made friends with the powerful before I entered the examination room.' So I left in a hurry without even leaving my name." ," Chen Gui cupped his hand, "I have my own considerations. The uncle's house is the one who receives the favor, let alone make things difficult for the benefactor in the name of repaying the favor.

Hence, I came forward on behalf of the government and privately thanked my brother for his kindness and presented me with some paper and pen. I also hoped that he would not refuse. "
