Chapter 263: The Side Door is also Blocked

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Liu Shulan endured the intense shame in her heart and responded with a coy,” Yes, Marquis.”

Her obedient demeanor eased Su Dingheng’s heart somewhat.

He needed to witness Liu Shulan’s entrance into the manor, so he accompanied her to the side door.

The side door, originally large enough for a bridal sedan to enter, was now obstructed by a long queue.

Su Dingheng widened his eyes, “What’s going on?”

In front of him, many people in ragged clothes were lining up to receive porridge and steamed buns. They were blocking the side door of the Marquis’s Manor tightly. Not only was it impossible to enter the bridal sedan, but it was also too crowded for people to pass through.

Su Yurou, already filled with anger because Liu Shulan couldn’t enter through the main entrance, rushed over and shouted, “You beggars, hurry up and get lost. Blocking the side door of our manor, do you want to die?”

The beggars who had originally been queuing up to receive relief now turned their collective gaze towards Su Yurou.

“The Master of the Marquis’s Manor has shown kindness by providing us with porridge. What right do you have to make us leave!”

“She’s dressed in such flashy clothes. 1 can tell at a glance that she’s no good!”

“Spit on her! Spit on her!”

The beggars, having gone without food for some time, now had a chance to receive food. Those who prevented them from begging for food were now their objects of disdain, and they began spitting at Su Yurou.

Su Yurou’s clothes were stained with the beggars’ saliva. She was so angry that she cried out, “Ah, you dirty and ugly people! I’m going to kill you! Little brother, quickly, kill them!”

Su Jinxuan’s expression darkened, and he immediately ordered the palace guards to arrest the beggar who had spat at Su Yurou.

The beggars immediately panicked, “You… What are you doing? This is the Marquis of Martial South’s porridge stall, the Su family’s favor for ancestral worship. You can’t deprive us of our food!”

“I’m letting you eat! Go to hell!” Su Yurou stepped forward and kicked one of the beggars, her gaze extremely vicious.

When Su Jinxuan’s palace guards were about to kill him, Su Dingheng suddenly shouted angrily, “No!”

He rushed to the side door and looked at the people serving the porridge. They were all from the Marquis’s Manor.

He suddenly remembered that Su Yingxue had told him earlier that when the ancestral hall was opened, they were supposed to show kindness. If Su Jinxuan killed someone, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face?

“Hold on! Stop!” Su Dingheng looked unhappily at Su Yurou and her brother.

Su Yingxue immediately stood up, feeling guilty in her heart. “Father, 1 was thoughtless. Our ancestors taught us that once we open the ancestral hall, we must help the people. I placed the porridge stall at the side door, blocking Aunt’s path into the manor. It’s my fault!”

As she spoke, she was about to kneel and apologize.

Su Hao pulled her up with a stern face. “Father, what’s wrong with Sister following the teachings of our ancestors?”

Su Dingheng was flustered and helpless. “Yingxue indeed followed our ancestors’ instructions, but this door is blocked. How can Shulan get in? Yingxue, quickly get these people to move away and make room at the entrance!”

He was anxious to carry Liu Shulan into the house.

Su Yingxue looked hesitant. “Father, we’ve already set up the porridge stall. If we remove it now and say that we’re not going to give out porridge, we’ll be breaking our promise to the people.”

“That’s right! On what grounds can you remove it? You promised to give us porridge!”

“You can’t take away our food. You can’t!”

“No! I’m still in line and haven’t received any food!”

A group of beggars immediately stood at the entrance of the manor, guarding the porridge stall.

Su Yurou was so angry that she wanted to kill someone, “You bunch of lowlifes, why don’t you take a look at what kind of livestock you are! Do you think you are worthy of asking for food at the entrance of our Marquis’s Manor? Don’t block my mother’s way!”
