PFC Chapter 341: The Runaway Old Lady Kang
Chapter 341: The Runaway Old Lady Kang
"Senior, please don't worry."
Zhenzhu spoke slowly and then took out a token. When Mrs. Liu saw the token, her pupils trembled and she took a step back in fear.
"Your lady is!"
Before Mrs. Liu could finish, Zhenzhu interrupted her and said, "Isn't this money too much compensation for my young lady?"
"Is this how your sect oppresses people?"
Old Mrs. Liu staggered with fright, her hands were shaking.
Zhenzhu bowed again and said, "My young lady respects you, Senior. We have a pleasant cooperation in the Marquis' Mansion today, but I cannot tolerate being bullied."
"This money originally belongs to me, why should it be used as compensation for your lady?"
Old Mrs. Liu asked in a questioning tone with a hoarse voice.
"Zhang Jueping and Su Yunrou are trying to murder my young lady. I believe you know something about this. And the money in your hand was given by the old Kang family to instruct the young Kang family to sell the small farm to the big Liu family at a high price. The money ultimately belongs to the Zhang family, not you, so my young lady wants compensation from the Zhang family, not from the Earl's Mansion."
Pearl was neither humble nor arrogant, and every word she said was extremely clear.
Hearing what Zhenzhu said, Old Lady Liu staggered again in fear. Although Zhang Jueping and Su Yunrou's frame-up of Su Qingwan had no direct relationship with the Earl's Mansion, the eldest Liu was still the legitimate daughter of the Earl's Mansion. According to the arrogant and protective character of the sect, the Earl's Mansion could not handle it.
"So, senior, you took the Zhang family's money, compensated my young lady, and exchanged it for a piece of information and the safety of the Earl's Mansion. You must be better than me in calculating this account."
Seeing that Old Lady Liu's face was gloomy and seemed a little shaken, Zhenzhu said again.
"Hey! Take it. Are you sure this matter is over? It won't be held against our Earl's Mansion?"
After weighing the pros and cons, Old Lady Liu took out a silver note from her bosom and handed it to Zhenzhu.
The money was not originally hers. She was not as money-loving as old Mrs. Kang. At her age, the peace and reputation of the Earl's Mansion were the most important.
"Thank you, senior. We are now even. As for the news about Mrs. Liu and Zhang Jueping, my young lady has already sent someone to find out. Once there is news, someone will naturally deliver a letter to the Earl's Mansion. In addition, you have worked hard today. My young lady has instructed this servant."
Zhenzhu took the money, then took out five silver notes of 1,000 taels and handed them to Old Lady Liu, saying, "This is the hard work fee for the pleasant cooperation. Please keep the identity of my young lady confidential. I'm leaving now."
After saying this, Zhenzhu put away the banknotes, raised her arms, and disappeared on the spot like a flying swallow.
"Why, old lady?"
The daughters-in-law were intimidated by Zhenzhu's aura and didn't dare to say a word. Only now did they react and were about to ask Old Lady Liu why she gave the money to that girl.
"Forget about this matter, and no one should mention it again, otherwise you will be punished by family law at the very least, or beaten to death at the worst."
Old Madam Liu's eyes became sharp. With a gleam of her cloudy gaze, her daughter-in-law and the servants who had signed the death contract became silent.
"Old Kang, old Kang, your granddaughter came back just to torture you to death, hehe"
Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu was in a good mood and suddenly understood many things.
According to the status of the man behind Su Qingwan, a marquis's mansion would be wiped out overnight, but Su Qingwan did not do so. It was obvious that she came back to wear down old Kang bit by bit.
"Instructions have been given that if there is anything happening in the third branch of the Su family, our Earl's Mansion will definitely send a big gift."
"Why?"
The daughters-in-law all looked dumbfounded. Are they so scared of a token?
"Just listen, there are only benefits and no harm in making friends with her."
Old Madam Liu's eyes turned cold and she glared at her daughter-in-law behind her. Then, she got on the carriage with the help of the nanny beside her...
Old Madam Kang in the Marquis' Mansion was incredibly strong, and Xiaokang and Nanny Xu couldn't pull her away at all, which made Xiaokang very anxious.
If Old Kang was really strangled to death by her mother, how could she survive in the mansion in the future? She was afraid that she would not be able to survive. Moreover, if this happened, how could her son pass the imperial examination and enter the court?
A series of horrible consequences made Xiao Kang so nervous that her heart was in knots. She kept asking anxiously, "Mother, what are you doing? You don't want to kill my aunt, you want to kill your daughter!"
"Mother, please let go of my hand. If you have anything to say, just talk to me."
"Let my old lady go!" Aunt Xu also tried to pull desperately, but she couldn't pry open Madam Kang's hand.
As Su Zhiwen walked to the door, he heard a noisy noise in the house. He rushed in immediately and saw that his mother-in-law was strangling his mother's neck. Old Mrs. Kang had been strangled so much that her face turned red and purple, and her eyes were rolled back.
If he didn't let go, old Kang would probably die. How could he do that?
Su Zhiwen was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and immediately rushed over shouting.
"Let go!"
"Are you crazy?"
Although Su Zhiwen was a scholar, he still had some strength. He pulled Mrs. Kang away with this force, and because of his great strength, Mrs. Kang fell to the ground with her butt.
Old Mrs. Kang came to her senses after the fall and looked at Old Kang, only to see that she took a long breath and then started coughing violently. She didn't strangle him to death at all.
In just a moment, Mrs. Kang remembered the innocent death of her son and burst into tears in pain.
"Oh my God! Open your eyes and take a look. Old Mrs. Kang, that cruel and vicious woman, killed my son Bailey. Woo woo woo woo..."
"Bai Li, you died such a tragic death, such an unjust death! If you still have a spirit in heaven, you should ask the God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning to come and strike the old evil woman who harmed you to death, so that her soul will be shattered and her body will be destroyed, so that you can pay for your life!"
Old Mrs. Kang sat on the ground crying and howling, cursing old Mr. Kang all the time. Her situation was actually not much different from that of an ordinary woman in the market.
Her words shocked everyone in the room!
Except for Xiaokang, Su Qingwan, and Aunt Xu who knew the truth, everyone else thought it was ridiculous.
Especially Su Zhiwen, he was so shocked that he was stunned!
He thought he had heard wrongly, but old lady Kang kept talking, and what she said in her crying kept indicating that Campbell was killed by old Mr. Kang, but how was that possible?
There was absolutely no reason for his mother to kill Campbell. Besides, old Mrs. Kang had always been very kind to Campbell, and so was young Mrs. Kang. Over the years, no one knew how much money they had given to the Kang family. Now that Campbell had been dead for so long, they blamed his mother for his death. It was simply nonsense.
"Mother-in-law, how can you slander my mother? Campbell died of illness. What does it have to do with my mother? Don't talk nonsense and slander my mother's reputation!"
Su Zhiwen said angrily, if he hadn't remembered that Madam Kang was his mother-in-law, he would have rushed forward and blocked her howling mouth.
"Bah! Old Kang killed my son, and she is still innocent? If she is innocent, then there is no one in the world who is not innocent. My son was fine, and he died because he took the medicine given by Old Kang. She is a cruel old snake who only bites her own relatives."
"My son, Bailey, you died unjustly..."
Old Mrs. Kang's voice was like a broken gong, sharp and cracked, scraping directly from the ears into the scalp, making people numb and uncomfortable!
Xiaokang was so frightened that her soul almost flew away!
She knew best how Campbell died. She was the one who made her brother drink the medicine, but this was done in secret and no one would tell anyone about it. How did her mother know about it?
Moreover, the mother blamed old Mr. Kang for Campbell's death. Does she know what she did in it?
She looked at her mother who was sitting on the ground and crying loudly with extreme nervousness, and felt a surge of fear in her heart.
If only the mother could shut up. If she continues shouting like this, she will hurt herself and her children.
"Mother, how can you talk nonsense? Bailey's death was an accident. He caught a cold and died of a high fever."
Xiao Kang took two steps forward and supported Old Mrs. Kang. For the first time, she felt that her mother's face looked extremely hateful and horrifying.
"You stupid dog, how could I tell a lie? Your brother was killed by her. She had ulterior motives and thought that Baili's business outside would bring trouble to the Marquis' Mansion, so she killed him to silence him. Not only did you not help me and your brother, but you also accused me of talking nonsense. You really deserve to die!"
The more Mrs. Kang spoke, the angrier she became. She raised her hand and slapped Xiao Kang in the face.
After a few slaps, Xiao Kang's face became swollen. She raised her hands to block them and shouted:
"Mother, are you crazy? Why did you hit me too?"
"Ouch! Stop it now!"
"Oh, Mother, stop it!"
Xiao Kang kept saying this, but Old Mrs. Kang was full of anger and had no place to vent it. So when she caught someone, she would hit her without any care.
"Mrs. Kang, please don't do this!"
Nanny Ji protected Xiao Kang and was also hit several times.
Xiaokang was beaten so hard that she burst into tears. Thinking of the real cause of her brother's death, she was speechless and couldn't help but cry out in grief.
Mrs. Liu was so happy!
She thought she would be severely punished by Old Kang today, but she never expected that the devil, Old Madam Kang, would appear halfway.
As soon as Old Madam Kang arrived, the elder and younger Kang family members no longer cared about the matter of the Earl of Yongkang taking away the silver.
Now seeing Xiaokang being beaten, she felt extremely happy. If she hadn't tried hard to control herself, she would have burst into laughter.
Xiaokang really deserves it!
Regardless of whether what Mrs. Kang said was true or not, it was good to let Xiao Kang get a good beating.
But it's impossible for Mrs. Kang to suddenly go crazy and come over to cause trouble on the old lady's birthday party. So what she said about Campbell being killed by old Kang is most likely true.
I never expected that old Kang would actually attack his nephew whom he always loved. Didn't he dote on him very much?
He always said, "Bailey is the hope of our Kang family, he will definitely make a name for himself in the future." But now he is trying to take his life. This has directly cut off the Kang family's hope. No wonder Mrs. Kang is making such a fuss.
But it’s a good noise!
The bigger the fuss, the better. It would be best to investigate whether this matter has anything to do with the second house. But it doesn't matter if they can't find out. Anyway, Yue Jie is gone and the eldest master has lost his official status. Their first house is not afraid of making a big fuss.
