Chapter 100 Serial Attacks
“Nonsense!”
Just as An wanted to shut Sun Mama up and drag her out, Sun Mama had confessed!
“Come on, what are you waiting for? Drag these slaves who slandered and harmed the masters out and flog them to death!”
As soon as An made such an order, the last line of defense in Sun Mama’s heart collapsed.
“Madam, Madam, you can’t kick down the ladder like this! I’ve always been listening to you ...”
As soon as An finished speaking, someone came in to block the mouth of Sun Mama.
“Wait a moment.”
Su Muge stepped forward to stop those people.
“Madam, why are you so anxious? Could it be that Sun Mama is telling the truth?”
An couldn’t hold back her anger any longer and stared at Su Muge coldly.
“What do you mean by that?! Do you think I’ve hurt My Lord?”
Su Muge’s calm eyes were full of indifference.
“Hasn’t Sun Mama made it clear? If I remember correctly, she is the mother-in-law of Li Mama’s younger son. So Li Mama must have made great efforts to make her enter and work in Su Mansion.”
Su Muge pointed out the implicit relationship between Sun Mama and Li Mama.
Li Mama panicked and knelt to Su Lun.
“My Lord, I just found Sun Mama quite capable, so I let her work in the general kitchen. I’ve never expected that she would do such an evil thing. If I had known, I wouldn’t have let her enter Su Mansion!”
“My Lord, you can’t believe the bold slave’s words. I’ll never harm you, My Lord.” An said with a red nose and tearful eyes, looking at Su Lun affectionately.
Seeing An’s look, Su Lun didn’t quite believe that she would harm him. She might have been framed up.
“My Lord, it’s Madam, it’s Madam who asked me to put those disgusting things into the dishes. She said that as long as the young master disappeared, the eldest Madam would be destroyed forever... My Lord, please believe me. I dare not lie to you!” Having heard so much from An, Sun Mama had already been disappointed in her. She only hoped that Su Lun could spare her life now. She really didn’t want to die!
“An, how can you be so vicious?!”
Zhao, who had been sitting aside, finally spoke. She stared at An with hatred in her eyes. Even if she had known that little Wenmo’s sickness must be associated with her, she was still shivering with anger when she heard it from Sun Mama.
“Sister, don’t you believe me? When the young master was born, he had stayed with me for a long time. If I really wanted to hurt him, I wouldn’t wait until now!” An retorted in a shaking voice, which was shown to Su Lun.
“If anything did happen to Wenmo at the time, how could you escape the liability?” Zhao replied without any sign of weakness.
“My Lord, if you really think that I have done this, please divorce me. I’d rather be a nun in the temple than suffer such injustice here!”
While speaking, An was to go out of the room.
“Well, when did I say that you have instructed it?” Su Lun said gently.
Su Muge squinted and caught sight of a flicker of complacence in An’s eyes as she turned around.
Su Muge raised the corner of her lips secretly; An, do you think it was over?
“My Lord, My Lord, two imperial guards are escorting a man outside, stating that you will recognize the man.”
The housekeeper rushed in with an anxious look and raised his voice.
“Who is it?” Su Lun was quite angry now and was not in the mood to see anyone.
“My, My Lord, that’s the imperial guards ...”
Su Lun frowned; he couldn’t offend the imperial guards. “I see. Let them bring the man in.”
“Yes.”
After talking, Su Lun glared at them with his eyes widened. “What are you waiting for? Drag these people out and shut them.”
Family shame couldn’t be made public; Su Lun didn’t want to be seen as a joke after all.
“Yes.”
Seeing that Sun Mama and others were taken out, An finally revealed a faint smile when she lowered her head.
Su Muge, how dare you fool with me?! You are still too young!
But when the housekeeper brought the people in, the pride and complacence instantly froze on An’s face.
“My Lord, here they are.”
Having just dealt with Sun Mama’s matter, Su Lun was so angry that he forgot to let Su Muge and others retreat to avoid the outsiders.
Two imperial guards walked in with a man in a priest robe with white hair and beard.
“Lord Su.”
“You two are ...”
At the sight of the Taoist priest, Su Lun widened his eyes in amazement.
This man was the old Taoist priest who was invited to Su Mansion a few days ago!
However, Su Lun cleverly didn’t talk to the Taoist priest but looked at the two imperial guards.
“What are you two doing here in my mansion?”
One of the imperial guards said, “We arrested this cheater when he was cheating in other mansions. After interrogation, he confessed that he has also cheated in Su Mansion, so we come to confirm if it is true.”
“Cheating?” Su Lun couldn’t believe it; the old Taoist priest looked so real after all.
“Yes.”
At this moment, the old Taoist priest who was carried by the imperial guards suddenly looked up and yelled at An, “Madam Su, help me. You have promised that as long as I do as you say, you will keep me fine. You can’t break your promise!”
At the sight of the old Taoist priest, An panicked.
“What nonsense are you talking about? My Lord invited you to Su Mansion sincerely. How dare you deceive us? Now you even dare to implicate our Madam?”
Su Lun glanced at An in disbelief, thinking that the man was indeed found by himself. How could An predict what he would do?
“It’s you. You asked me to pretend to meet Lord Su by accident and say those words to scare him. It’s you. These are all instructed by you. Now you want to deny. You vicious woman!”
The cheating old Taoist priest was a Taoist indeed, but he had never been disciplined. He was driven out of the Taoist Temple a few years ago and had been wandering and cheating in the capital ever since.
After An found him, he immediately agreed without thinking. After getting a large sum of money, he could have gone away. But he went to the casino two days ago and lost all his money. Then he started cheating again and was unexpectedly caught.
Hearing this, Su Lun was shocked.
“You mean, it was arranged by you that I met you in the restaurant?!”
“Yes, she told me where you would often go and asked me to wait there for you! And those birth horoscopes were also told to me by her in advance.”
“Bullshit!” An refuted it sternly.
Su Lun took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in his heart.
“So, Lord Su, you have been deceived by him before?” The imperial guards spoke again.
What a big joke for an official of the imperial court to be cheated by his wife and an outsider!
“Yes!” Su Lun squeezed the word out of his gritted teeth.
“Okay, we see. Sorry for disturbing you, Lord Su. Please excuse our departure.” After confirmation, the imperial guards were to leave.
“Housekeeper, send the two imperial guards out!”
The housekeeper understood the meaning of Su Lun; he wanted to block the mouths of the two guards.
“Yes.”
“Snap!”
“An, you bitch!”
As soon as the old Taoist priest was taken away, Su Lun turned around and slapped An’s face heavily.
An was caught off-guard and slapped to the ground.
“Ah!”
“Madam!” Li Mama knelt and moved forward to support An.
“You still want me to believe that Sun Mama was not instructed by you? How can I believe in you now?!”
An had never expected that her scheme would fail. It was so close! She could almost succeed!
An knelt and crawled to Su Lun. She grabbed his clothes and cried, “My Lord, please believe me. I have been framed up ...”
“Frame you up? The old Taoist priest was also found to frame you up? Then tell me, why would anyone frame you up!?” While speaking, Su Lun became increasingly angrier and lifted his foot to kick directly on the An’s chest.
“Ah!” An cries out in pain and fainted after rolling her eyes.
“Madam, Madam, how are you? Don’t scare me!”
No one dared to step forward no matter how hard Li Mama cried.
Su Lun didn’t even look at her. “Come on, send An to Baiyu Temple. Without my order, no one can visit her or let her return to Su Mansion!”
An, who fainted in Li Mama’s arms, sat up suddenly. She just pretended to pass out to win the sympathy of Su Lun and to delay the time to ask her maiden family for help.
She had never expected that Su Lun would be so heartless this time to send her to Baiyu Temple!
Whoever staying in the temple was either women with a bad reputation and wouldn’t marry for life or women who had made mistakes and was sent there to reflect upon their mistakes. Once Su Lun sent her there, he was actually telling others that she had made mistakes. Then she would lose all her face!
“I’m not going! I’m going back to An Mansion!” She didn’t believe her father would ignore her!
Su Lun sneered. “Since you have married me, you’re my person. It’s not up to you whether you want to go or not! What are you waiting for? Send her away! Now!” He didn’t want to see her again.
“As for this old slave, break her legs and sent her there together!”
“Yes.”
Although An had accumulated power in the mansion for many years, Su Lun was the real master of the family after all.
“Su Lun, you can’t do this to me. You’ll regret it ...”
“Shut her up!” Su Lun roared.
Su Lun also ordered to sell all the maids of An after flogging.
After all of this, he felt extremely exhausted.
“Father, if there is nothing else, I’ll retreat.”
Hearing her words, Su Lun looked up at Su Muge, who was standing there quietly, and then at Zhao, who had calmed down beside her.
After a period of careful nursing, Zhao’s skin and spirit had improved a lot with the medicinal and dietetic help of Su Muge.
Su Lun suddenly thought of the appearance of Zhao when she married him. At that time, she was also a beauty.
“You stay here with me, and just let Muge take Wenmo back.” Su Lun said while looking at Zhao.
