Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 948: Resentment

Chapter 948: Resentment

---------------------

Old Madam Su furrowed her brows. Somehow she felt like there was something wrong with her husband, she pursed her lips and after some hesitation she asked, " Is something the matter? Did something happen?"

Why was her husband so insistent on protection? Was there something that she was not aware of?

When Old Master Su heard his wife's question, he was stunned. He turned to look at his wife and then snapped a bit harshly, " What do you mean by that something happened? I am only doing this for our son. Do you not see what kind of situation he is in at the moment? Only when Yiqian's son is sitting in the position of crown prince and our eldest son is doing good will he live a comfortable life.

I am only looking out for him and nothing else."

Anyway, he was not lying, with his arms lost, it was impossible for his second son to get a good job anymore. He was no longer a man who could get anything that he wanted, now he would need someone to feed him all his life.

When Old Madam Su heard her husband's words she was quite upset. It felt like someone was poking a needle in her heart but there was nothing that she could do. Her husband was right, their son was now indeed a useless man who did not have any future in front of him.

They might be willing to ignore the reality but for how long?

She nodded and then stated, " Then I will leave this matter in your hands, my lord. Do not worry I will make sure to persuade our eldest son into giving us a grandchild, with the current situation we need to tie the Jiang family closely."

Seeing that his wife understood what he was trying to do, Old Master Su nodded and then heaved a sigh of relief, he then turned to look at the sky past the window, which was slowly turning dark.

" Master is something wrong?" Old Madam Su asked gently. She was a smart woman, if not for the fact that she was quick on the uptake, she would not have dominated the entire Su family while dealing with the concubines at the back courtyard. She stood up and then sat closer to her husband as she started to nurse his legs.

He ma.s.saged his legs and said, " You look even more tired than usual, did something happen at the Ministry of Finance?"

When Old Master Su heard his wife's query, his eyes flashed with a dark glint. He shook his head and then replied, "It's nothing, I just ran into a little trouble in the ministry."

He was the head of the Ministry of Finance and everyone had respected him for a long time. But he was afraid that with such a thing happening all the respect that he had earned was going to slip out of his hands.

Old Master Su did not understand what went wrong.

What was more Eunuch Xi even made sure that he was examined thoroughly. He could not even say that he was drugged! What made it even worse was that Old Master Su could not understand how in the world he did that sort of thing with Eunuch Xi without getting drugged.

Was he really interested in that man? There was no way it was possible!

Then why?

Old Master Su's expression continued to get darker and darker. When Old Madam Su saw that his expression was not good, she pursed her lips and then said, " Would you like to eat something, my lord? The kitchen has prepared sweet and sour chicken."

I already have too much inside my body and you want me to eat chicken? Old Master Su thought. He shook his head and then stated, " There is no need. I am not hungry."

With that, he went back to lie down on the bed and closed his eyes. He knew that his wife was going to ask him whether or not he found a way to deal with the injustice that they had suffered. But now he was in trouble himself, where was he supposed to deal with the Emperor?

Old Madam Su indeed wanted to ask about how they were going to deal with the Emperor. Even if they could not retaliate she wanted to make some trouble for that man but her husband was not in a good mood which was why she could only lower her head and then leave.

She swallowed back her words and stated, " Then go ahead. I will see how our son is doing." After she spoke she bowed and then walked out of the room.

As soon as she left the courtyard that belonged to her husband and her, Old Madam Su walked to the courtyard of her second son.

She asked a maid to bring a bowl of warm soup before heading inside the room. As soon as she opened the door and saw her son who was sitting on the bed with the sleeves of his robe dangling, Old Madam Su's eyes turned red. How she wished she could cut that man who had ruined her son's future into thin pieces.

" Yiqian, you are here again? His majesty will be upset with you if you continue coming to the Su house like this," Old Madam Su said to her daughter. Experience new tales on M V L

Su Yiqian's eyes flashed with hatred as she said, "It's fine if I come back. That man despite being my husband harmed by my brother like this.. should feel a bit nervous and guilty, no matter what I am still carrying his child. How dare he treat my brother like this?"

On the other hand, Su Jiaru was getting resentful with each pa.s.sing day. He turned to look at his mother and asked, " Mother did father say anything? Is he going to find trouble with his majesty? I cannot just suffer this grievance!"

Old Madam Su turned sour when she heard her son's cries. She rubbed his head and then said, " I did talk to your Father but looks like something happened at the ministry."
