Chapter 24
....Liu Li felt a gust of cold wind blow at him. He insisted, “Marquis, I truly like Miss…”
“Shut up! How dare you say such words. Men, chase him out of the Marquis’s Manor!” Su Dingheng was embarrassed and angry, and he could only vent all his anger on him.
“Marquis! Marquis, I truly like…”
“Wait.”
Before Liu Li was pulled out, Su Yingxue walked up to him and looked down at him. “You said that you really like me. Do you know what my nickname is?”
Liu Li rolled his eyes. “Xue’er! Miss, when I was with you, you said that you liked it when I call you like this!”
“My younger sister doesn’t have a nickname.” Su Hao’s face was cold, and his clear eyes released a cold killing intent, “You’ve never seen my younger sister before. Who instructed you to slander her?”
“I…” Liu Li’s heart skipped a beat as he subconsciously looked at Su Yurou.
Su Yurou quickly hid behind Su Dingheng and sobbed weakly.
Su Hao immediately wanted to interrogate Liu Li, but Su Dingheng stopped him, “Enough! Isn’t this embarrassing enough? Quickly chase him out of the Marquis’s Manor!”
“Father, sister has been framed. We must prove her innocence and find the person behind it!”
Su Hao couldn’t tolerate it.
Su Yurou looked at Su Hao timidly, her eyes suffused with a gentle light, “Father, I’m so envious of sister. Big Brother is so protective of her, and he can’t bear to let her suffer even a little grievance. If this happened to me, I wonder if Big Brother would protect me like this.”
“Rou’er, with Daddy here, I won’t let anyone bully you like this!” When Su Dingheng saw her cry, his heart ached for his precious daughter.
He wasn’t stupid. He could guess what had happened today.
However, how could he bear to expose Su Yurou and let her be punished?
He had a serious look on his face. “Hao’er, that’s enough! If she had obediently stayed in the residence and not gone out to show her face, how could such a thing have happened? In the end, even if your sister was wronged, it’s all her fault for not loving herself!”
“Father! What are you talking about!” Even though Su Hao had a good temper, he was so angry that his face turned ashen.
To prevent him from having a conflict with Su Dingheng, Su Yingxue held his arm. “Brother, Father is right. I didn’t tell him in advance. The next time the Ninth Prince asks me to treat him, I will definitely let Father know.”
“You…” Su Dingheng held his breath.
She still dared to go to the Ninth Prince’s place!
She was deliberately angering him to death!
“Father, anger hurts the liver. Why don’t you finish your breakfast at my place before leaving? Anyway, Yurou came to look for me for breakfast.”
Su Yingxue raised her eyebrows at Su Yurou.
Su Yurou obediently agreed. When Su Yingxue walked past her, she did not notice it at all. However, Su Yingxue had long smelled it and conveniently pulled out the laxative from her waist.
Breakfast was served on the table. Su Yurou never expected Su Yingxue to eat so well!
Bird’s Nest and White Fungus Porridge, Eight Treasures Candy Duck, and Stewed Codfish with Silver Thread. It was even more sumptuous than the banquet of the Marquis’s Manor!
Recalling the few plates of porridge and side dishes she had in the morning, the jealousy in Su Yurou’s heart erupted like a volcano.
But in front of everyone, she had to endure it with all her might.
Su Dingheng’s brows were also tightly furrowed. “Who gave you the money to buy these things?”
He, the marquis, could not even afford to eat all these delicacies, but Su Yingxue had a normal expression.
Su Yingxue’s tone was calm. “I didn’t steal or snatch it. Father, don’t worry.”
“Bastard! Since you have so much silver, why don’t you give it to me to keep for you!” The anger in Su Dingheng’s heart burned. He had been in charge of the Marquis’s Manor’s accounts all these years and had moved quite a bit into his own private treasury. He did not expect that Su Yingxue still had money in her hands and had not given him any out of respect!
“Do I have to give every cent I have to you? Moreover, Mother had given me ten shops, I gave Father nine, and six of them had closed down, Father, your ability is limited, it’s better not to trouble you.” Su Yingxue ate the bird’s nest calmly, completely ignoring the fact that she had slapped Su Dingheng’s face.
Su Dingheng was filled with anger. He flicked his sleeves and left. He had made up his mind that when Su Yingxue was not around, he would definitely investigate properly.
Where did she get so much money?
Su Yurou also left.
Su Hao frowned deeply and punched the table. “Father is too much!”
He even wanted to scheme against his sister’s money!
“Shh, brother, listen.”
Su Yingxue put her index finger to her lips, and a hint of craftiness flashed across her eyes.
Su Hao held his breath and suddenly heard a “puff puff” sound coming from the courtyard.
Su Yurou immediately shouted, “Ah! How could this be! My dress…”
There was another series of puffing sounds. Su Yurou screamed, covered her face, and ran away.
Zhilan rushed in with a smile. “Miss, Miss Yurou, she… hahaha!”
The corners of Su Yingxue’s mouth curled up, and the smile reached her eyes.
Su Hao guessed what had happened. He was originally a little embarrassed, but when he saw Su Yingxue smile, he felt very comforted.
The Ninth Prince’s Mansion.
Mo Qi captured Liu Li and brought him back to the Prince’s mansion. At the same time, he told Chu Yihan everything that had happened in the Marquis’s Manor that he had seen from the roof.
Chu Yihan used Su Yingxue’s handkerchief to wrap the jade pendant. His eyes were cold like ice that would not melt for thousands of years.
He opened his thin lips and spat out a single word coldly, “Kill.”
Before Liu Li could beg for mercy, he rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
Su Hao rested at home for a few days. When the day of the conferment arrived, he had to go to the military camp.
He was worried about Su Yingxue. In order to make him feel at ease, Su Yingxue brought him to the medical center.
In the back hall of the center, Su Hao looked surprised, “This is the shop that Mother left for you?”
“That’s right. Look at how I managed the business?”
Su Yingxue was a little proud, and Su Hao was very pleased. “It’s doing very well.”
His sister had surprised him again.
What surprised him even more was the busy figure in front of the spice and herb counter.
Wu Jinyan was dressed in a sky-blue traditional dress. She was smiling as she explained the usage of the medicine to a woman.
Su Hao rushed to her like a young boy, his eyes full of joy. “Yan’er, why are you here?”
“Little girl, this must be your husband! He’s so handsome. The two of you are so compatible!”
The woman covered her mouth and laughed, then took the medicine and left.
Wu Jinyan looked at Su Hao with a smile and said in a gentle voice, “I work here, Miss Su, she… she treats me very well.”
“Work? Does your father know? Did your family make things difficult for you?” Su Hao’s heart was in a mess.
He knew that Wu Jinyan was having a hard time at home. Now that she came out to work in public, he was afraid that her days became even harder.
“No, I’m fine.” The smile on Wu Jinyan’s face was as warm as a warm breeze.
