Su Yingxue couldnât help but find it amusing. Her grandfather had fathered three sons and a daughter, each one different from the other.
Among them, the most unproductive was her father, but the most affected was her fourth aunt.
The other two uncles were both influential figures in the court.
Her fourth aunt, still unmarried at the time, had her hair shaved off by her grandfather and sent to the temple to become a nun.
With that said, it was clear that her aunt was not an ordinary person.
Before reaching adulthood, she was already scheming to be involved with princes. However, her grandfatherâs taboo was against his children participating in the imperial familyâs succession struggle. So, after discovering her auntâs affair, he sent her to the temple for cultivation.
But her auntâs prowess couldnât be underestimated. Even in the temple, she managed to seduce Marquis Chang Yuan, became his concubine, and later forced the marquisâs wife to death, becoming the legitimate wife.
Su Yingxue remembered her aunt in her previous life as a typical troublemaker, ruthless and causing chaos in the Marquisâs Manor. But even after her grandfatherâs death, she ruled for many years and enjoyed great prestige.
Inviting her back this time wasnât Su Yingxueâs idea. It was her fourth aunt who, upon hearing the news from somewhere, sent someone to request an invitation.
Seeing that her grandfather had passed away in her previous life, Su Yingxue allowed her aunt to pay respects.
Now, with the Senior Marquisâs wife still alive, her aunt wasnât particularly glorious yet. But arriving in three carriages and putting on such a grand display was an attempt to show off in front of her grandfather.
Su Yingxue wouldnât let her get away with it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Standing her ground, Su Yingxue said aloud, âAunt, if you donât intend to disembark, please move the carriages aside to avoid blocking the entrance to the Marquisâs Manor and inconveniencing others.â
âYouâ¦â Su Xinlanâs expression changed. âSu Yingxue, Iâm giving you face, and yet youâre so disrespectful to me, your aunt!â
âHow am I being disrespectful? Reminding you not to block the way is a kind gesture. Besides, considering your status, riding in these three carriages is quite inappropriate. Aunt, itâs better to get off the carriage early to avoid being ridiculed.â
Su Yingxue wore a smile, but her words were sharp, piercing Su Xinlan with every word.
After putting on a show for some time, Su Xinlan had no choice but to open the curtains and come down. Seeing everyone laughing at her, she couldnât bear it.
She walked up to Su Yingxue, wishing she could shut her mouth!
âSu Yingxue, donât think Iâm afraid of you! Youâre just the Marquisâs Manor legitimate daughter, whatâs there to be proud of? When I was the daughter of the Marquisâs Manor, 1 was a hundred times more glorious than you! Youâre just useless!â Su Xinlan trembled as she spoke, her hairpins and pearls swaying.
Su Yingxue chuckled, âAunt knows youâre just the Marquisâs daughter, while Iâm the legitimate daughter of the Marquis! It seems Aunt understands the difference in status!â
âYouâ¦â Su Xinlanâs face turned pale, stung by Su Yingxueâs words!
This little girl was exposing her secrets in public!
She didnât want to lose face in front of everyone, so she was about to argue with Su Yingxue when Su Yingxue immediately sent someone to drag her into the residence..
