74 Prestige!

Chen Haoyuan looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who was talking to Shen Chuan as if no one was around, and a guess suddenly flashed across his mind.

“Su Daya! Did… did you do something behind my back!”

Su Xiaoxiao paused in her eating and looked at him in confusion.

Was Chen Haoyuan crazy?

Was he blaming her for tampering with the spot?

If she had the time, she might as well make a few more pancakes!

Shen Chuan did not expect Chen Haoyuan to slander his cousin like this. What did his failure to get selected have to do Miss Su? How did he become her cousin?

Su Xiaoxiao said incredulously, “Chen Haoyuan, are you alright? Just because you didn’t get selected, you’re blaming me?”

Chen Haoyuan said hatefully, “If it weren’t for you, why would I have failed?”

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “How would I know? I’m not from your academy!”

Chen Haoyuan gritted his teeth. “You’re really despicable!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Father Su, who had finished taking care of the three children, walked out with a livid expression.

He strode up to Chen Haoyuan and slapped him without a word!

Su Cheng did not show mercy with this slap and slapped Chen Haoyuan to the ground!

Everyone was shocked, and the scene was instantly silent. Although Su Cheng was bad, he did not treat the Chen family badly. It could even be said that he gave them whatever they wanted.

It was really his first time beating up a scholar of the Chen family on the first day of the Lunar New Year!

“Hao!” Madam Huang, who had fainted on the ground, jumped up.

The corners of everyone’s mouth twitched. Had she been pretending to faint?

Madam Huang was very embarrassed that she couldn’t clean up the mess, so she decided to pretend to faint. However, now that her son had been beaten up, she couldn’t be bothered to continue pretending.

She hurriedly helped her son sit up.

Looking at the swollen side of her son’s face and the skin at the corner of his mouth, she was furious. She pointed at Su Cheng and scolded, “Su Cheng! You’re crazy! Why did you hit my son!”

Su Cheng said coldly, “I’ve tolerated your family for a long time. You know very well how much money you’ve asked for and how much money you’ve spent! I didn’t argue with you because of Su Niang! The Chen family gave birth to Su Niang after all, and I’ll help her repay the debt to her family! But after so many years, all the kindness has been paid for! Don’t think about bullying our children again! From now on, our Su family has nothing to do with your Chen family!”

“This slap is just a small lesson. If you dare to cause trouble at my house again, it won’t be as simple as a slap!”

Su Cheng’s attitude tore off the last cover of the Su and Chen families.

The reason why Madam Huang dared to cause trouble time and time again was that as the head of the family, Su Cheng had never fallen out with the Chen family. No matter how Fat Lass Su caused trouble, she was still a girl.

Madam Huang did not really take Fatty Su seriously.

In Madam Huang’s opinion, the real deciding factor was Su Cheng’s attitude.

And it was impossible for Su Cheng to fall out with the Chen family in his life!

However, Madam Huang had been wrong from the beginning. It was true that Su Cheng tolerated the Chen family, but in Su Cheng’s heart, his daughter was the most important. In the past, the Chen family had only made things difficult for him and had never created any trouble for his daughter.

Now that the Chen family had bullied his daughter repeatedly, it would be strange if he could tolerate this!

Su Xiaoxiao gave Father Su a thumbs up in her heart. How cool was he!

He should draw a line with the Chen family!

Don’t let this family suck the blood of the late Madam Chen again!

Su Ergou felt relieved. He asked Su Xiaoxiao excitedly, “Sister, can I… beat them up in the future?”

He thought that his voice was very soft, but Madam Huang heard him.

Madam Huang trembled.

Was there no end to it? Was it the younger one’s turn to beat them up now that the older one was done?

“You, you, you… Your Su family, just wait! My son is a scholar! He doesn’t even have to kneel when he sees the county magistrate! You hit my son. You won’t let this matter go!”

Madam Huang bluffed and helped the dejected Scholar Chen up before leaving dejectedly under the laughter of the villagers.

“Alright, alright, disperse. What’s there to see!” Father Su waved at the villagers impatiently.

Su Ergou pointed at the couplets on the wall and said, “Dad, our family pasted them. Brother-in-law wrote them!”

Father Su raised his chin in a second and said to the villagers, “Oh, then you can look as long as you want!”

He was immensely proud.

“Are there any more couplets?” Father Su asked Su Ergou.

“Yes, Dad,” Su Ergou said. “Brother-in-law wrote a few.”

Su Cheng placed his hands behind his back and said generously, “Take them all out! If there’s anything the villagers like…”

Everyone’s eyes lit up!

Su Cheng said, “They can take a few more glances.”

Everyone was speechless.

—

Shen Chuan came to look for Su Xiaoxiao today for two things. The first was to deliver something, and the second was… to deliver something.

Shen Chuan carried another big bag down from the carriage. “I just returned from my grandfather’s house. My father asked me to bring it to you. It’s a local specialty of my grandfather’s locale!”

“Dean Shen?” Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled.

Shen Chuan smiled and said, “He didn’t say it himself, but when I suggested sending you some, he didn’t object. With my understanding of my father, this is tacit consent!”

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was still puzzled, he explained, “Didn’t I mention it to you before? You saved Young Master Xiang and resolved my father’s urgent need. You also created many opportunities for me to get close to Young Master Xiang. My father remembers it!”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh.”

Shen Chuan handed her a brocade box. “In addition, when I left the academy, I bumped into Young Master Jing coming to give you the couplet, so I brought it over for him. It’s Young Master Xiang’s calligraphy treasure. Even my father is envious of it. You have to keep it carefully!”

“Okay.” Su Xiaoxiao took it.

Rich people were indeed different. A couplets was packed in such an exquisite brocade box.

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself that it would have been better if he had come earlier. Then, she wouldn’t have had to work hard to curry favor with Wei Ting…

Shen Chuan looked at the couplets on the wall and said thoughtfully, “But I think your family’s couplets are also quite good. They’re comparable to Young Master Xiang’s!”

This evaluation was very rare. After all, Young Master Xiang’s calligraphy had been personally praised by Dean Shen.

Su Xiaoxiao was not proficient in calligraphy. She could tell when the difference was great, but not when both are comparable.

“Who wrote it?” Shen Chuan asked curiously.

“Oh, someone,” Su Xiaoxiao said calmly.

Jing Yi had investigated her, but Shen Chuan had not. She had never mentioned it herself, so Shen Chuan did not know about her supposed marriage and had always called her Miss Su.

In the small east room, Wei Ting, who was writing couplets, snorted coldly.

Heh, was this the promise not to throw him away after using him?

A woman’s mouth was made for lying!

Wei Ting casually glanced at the three brats who were scribbling around the table. The corners of his lips curled up as he shouted unhurriedly, “Wife, Xiaohu peed!”

Xiao Hu was speechless.

And so was Shen Chuan.

Su Xiaoxiao clenched her chubby fists and gritted her teeth!

Wei Ting!
