The wicked mother-in-law doesn't try to whitewash herself; she only abuses her awful children.

Chapter 763 No one is worthy to be her daughter-in-law

When Su Shihang was carried home, Mrs. Lu was almost paralyzed with fear, thinking that Su Shihang had stopped breathing.

"Master has simply fainted," the attendant explained.

"How did things turn out like this when I was looking for my son?"

Mrs. Lu couldn't believe it.

Without understanding the details of the incident, they immediately pinned the blame on Su Chengmin.

Su Chengmin had always been impatient with the Su family, so when he saw Su Shihang hit his head and faint, it was hard not to suspect that Su Chengmin had hit him.

"That unfilial son, Su Chengmin, actually dared to kill his father."

While crying and cursing Su Chengmin, Madam Lu ordered someone to summon the family physician.

At the same time, I was very happy.

Su Chengmin even dared to hit his own father. If the censor finds out, he will impeach him. Even if the emperor likes him, he will not be able to keep his position as the commander of the Imperial Guard.

Lu's eyes lit up; this was a perfect excuse to use against Su Chengmin.

As long as he is willing to break off his engagement with Gu Taohua and marry Lu Yin'er, the Su family will not pursue the matter.

"Quickly, call the old lady here. Only she can keep this unfilial son in check."

Madam Lu ordered someone to help the old woman who was chanting sutras in the Buddhist hall to the temple.

"Madam, the master's fainting has nothing to do with the eldest young master."

The coachman, who was rushing home, recounted what had happened.

Mrs. Lu was quite disappointed.

The leverage they had over their stepson had disappeared again.

At the same time, I gained a new understanding of Suifeng Township's shrewishness.

The thought of such a ruthless person becoming in-laws with the Su family, and joining forces with the most notorious ruthless person in Shengjing, Old Madam Min, to cause trouble, gave her a headache.

Therefore, the marriage between Su Chengmin and Gu Taohua must not take place.

Su Shihang slowly regained consciousness after being treated by the prefectural physician.

"Master, how are you? You scared me to death!" Madam Lu said, tears streaming down her face.

Su Shihang opened his eyes and then closed them again.

He did not answer Lu's question.

Following the beating he received from the mighty general at Min Baozhen's funeral, today can be said to be the most humiliating day in recent years.

A high-ranking official of the imperial court was knocked unconscious.

Unfortunately, it's difficult to punish Suifeng Xiangjun and Nie Xiaofeng for this, because it would be too shameful to tell anyone that things got out of control because they were trying to break off the engagement with their son.

Although he threatened and berated Tong Huaqiong to annul the engagement, he was only relying on Tong Huaqiong's weak foundation in Shengjing and thought he could control her. However, the marriage was arranged by the mighty General, and even the Emperor knew about it. If word got out, he would really be in the wrong.

"My lord, you can't let him faint for nothing. It's one thing for Lady Suifeng to be unreasonable, but what right does General Nie, a mere warrior, have to be so arrogant? Where did he get the audacity? It must be because someone instigated him. My lord, you can't let him get away with this. Just for injuring a second-rank official of the court, you should report him to the Emperor, and it would be best if he were stripped of his military power," Madam Lu said bitterly.

Her words were a clear reminder to Su Shihang that the person behind Nie Xiaofeng was the mighty General.

The last military officer who defeated a second-rank official of the imperial court was a brother of the imperial concubine. He was stripped of his military power and exiled to Lingnan.

Nie Xiaofeng is nothing but the son of a merchant. He's gotten so arrogant just because he's climbed up to the powerful general. He dares to harm a high-ranking official; does he think he's tougher than the Consort's brothers? Master should seize this opportunity to bring Nie Xiaofeng and his backers down from their pedestals.

Su Shihang remained silent.

He understood what Ms. Lu meant.

If Min Hanniu's military power could be relieved, would he still need to stay at home?
They had already been carried to the Golden Palace.

Seeing that Su Shihang remained silent, Madam Lu assumed that Su Shihang had listened to her and took this opportunity to kick Su Chengmin hard again.

"This whole thing is ultimately caused by Chengmin's marriage. He didn't grow up in the Su family at such a young age, and he's become estranged from you, so naturally he doesn't think you're doing this for his own good. He didn't realize that the bond between father and son is stronger than blood, and you can't possibly harm him. I originally thought he misunderstood you, and that we could slowly warm his heart, and sooner or later he would realize that he and the Su family are one family. But I never expected that you would be injured, sir, in order to bring him back to the right path."

"I don't believe that the news of your injury hasn't reached his ears. It's been so long, and he hasn't come to the manor to see you."

Lady Lu covered her face and wept, heartbroken.

Su Shihang grew increasingly irritated and gritted his teeth, saying, "This unfilial son, if he insists on going his own way regarding the marriage, he can forget about ever entering the Su family again."

He didn't care whether Su Chengmin entered the Su family or not, but his mother's memorial tablet was in the Su family, and if he wanted to worship Min Baozhen, he had to not sever ties with the Su family.

Su Shihang knows how to handle things.

"You shameless woman, you're always stirring up trouble and causing chaos. My eldest grandson's surname is Su, and who dares to prevent him from entering the Su family?"

Grandma Su came out of the Buddhist hall and went straight to her son's bedside.

I was heartbroken when I heard that my son had been knocked unconscious, but before I even entered the house, I heard his strong voice and knew that he was alright, which put my mind at ease.

Seeing Madam Lu sitting by the bed with tears in her eyes, and hearing her son refuse to let Su Chengmin into the house, he started cursing at Madam Lu.

Grandma Su dislikes Min Baozhen, but that doesn't mean she dislikes Su Chengmin.

Even though Su Chengmin was taken away by Old Madam Min when he was young and became half a member of the Min family, he still bears the surname Su, and he is the legitimate eldest grandson of the Su family, and no one can take that away from him.

In Old Madam Su's heart, Su Chengmin, as a descendant of the Su family, was clever and quick-witted from a young age. Now he was a favorite of the emperor and the leader of the Imperial Guard. He was more promising than the纨绔小孙子 (playboy grandson) born to Madam Lu.

Su Chengmin's engagement did not include his grandmother in the ceremony, and she felt that it was all the fault of the Min family and Madam Lu.

It has nothing to do with my eldest grandson.

"Your husband was knocked unconscious, and instead of taking good care of him, you're busy trying to sow discord between my grandson and others. Do you think you're all that now that you're the mistress of the Su family? Let me tell you, you're not worthy of being the true mistress of the Su family." Old Madam Su pointed at Madam Lu and berated her.

Madam Lu lowered her head, appearing meek and submissive, but a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.

She has been subservient to her mother-in-law for so many years, but her mother-in-law still looks down on her.

Back in the countryside, it was Su Shihang who took the initiative to propose to her, but Old Mrs. Su looked down on her in every way.

In Old Mrs. Su's heart, her son was the only scholar in the surrounding area, having become a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the imperial examinations) at a young age. He was worthy of even the daughter of the prefect. If it weren't for their poverty and the fact that he hadn't grown up without a father, how could Lu Shi, a hunter's daughter, possibly be a match for him?

It was incredibly lucky for Lu to marry into the Su family.

Despite Lu's diligence and hard work after marrying into the Su family, managing everything from home to work, serving her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, the old lady Su still looked down on Lu.

Upon learning that her son had remarried in Shengjing, Old Mrs. Su wholeheartedly supported him.

Just because Old Madam Su looks down on Madam Lu doesn't mean she can look up to Min Baozhen.

Su Shihang passed the imperial examination, divorced his wife, and remarried. After arriving in Shengjing, Su's mother was still dissatisfied with Min Baozhen, disliking that Min Baozhen was not a lady from a respectable family and that Min Baozhen's brother was a military officer.

In short, no woman in the world is worthy of being her daughter-in-law.
