Chu Xiaotianâs face flushed red as he shook his head. âImpossible! This canât be happening! Min Jia wouldnât do such a thing!â
He rushed to Su Han and locked eyes with her. âHanâer, you must be misunderstanding. Before I left, Min Jia went to see you, saying you werenât feeling well. She had already called for a court physician. How could she want to kill you? Even if Mother doesnât like you, Father would still stand up for you. Youâre his most admired daughter-in-law! How could you accuse them like this?â
Su Han hated seeing him the most, but now she had to face him. She stared at the man she once loved deeply and spoke coldly. âDo you still think Iâm falsely accusing your mother and sister?â
âEven if itâs not entirely true! As the daughter-in-law and the elder sister-in-law, canât you tolerate them a little? As long as you do what you did before, give some gifts to Min Jia to appease her, then kneel and apologize to Mother, they will forgive you. Youâre still the Princess of the Regional Princeâs Mansion! Why do you have to go this far?â
Chu Xiaotian yelled at her, every word a reproach.
Su Hanâs heart had long grown cold, as if a gaping hole had been torn open, letting out a chilling breeze.
Fortunately, she had already died once when someone held a knife to her.
She had been saved, knowing how precious her life was!
She wouldnât let Chu Xiaotian hurt her again, instead, she questioned him forcefully. âWhy canât 1? When 1 married into your palace, the betrothal gift 1 received was only half of my dowry. These past few years, Iâve been managing the entire Regional Princeâs Mansion. If it werenât for my dowry, how could the people of the Regional Princeâs Mansion live such a dignified life?â
âYour mother and sister snatched my things, but you never stood up for me. Instead, you made me tolerate everything! Itâs not that 1 couldnât tolerate it, but how did you treat me? You said you would never take concubines, never favor other women, even if I never had a child, you would never betray me, but did you keep your promise?â
Su Hanâs question was like a bucket of cold water poured over Chu Xiaotianâs head.
His face showed discomfort. â1 kept it, I kept it all these years, except for that one nightâ¦â
He had stayed clean for these past few years. Even when socializing, he never indulged with those women. This was his promise to Su Han, and he kept it!
He had only broken it once, just that one night!
He grabbed the chairâs armrest, his eyes red, and questioned Su Han. âOnly once! Iâve only been with another woman once! Why do you insist on holding onto it? In the entire Great Cheng Dynasty, which man would remain loyal to only one woman? Not to mention, among the Imperial family and nobles, who is like me, focusing solely on loving you? Why wonât you even give me one chance?â
âIf youâre disloyal once, you wonât be loyal a hundred times!â Su Hanâs face turned cold. âYou and 1 made promises. Weâre a loving couple. You and I break promises, and we have to settle our debts one by one! The dowry I paid into the Regional Princeâs Mansion, and the plot against me by Min Jia County Lord, and Madam Sheng, I must seek justice!â
A trace of surprise flashed across Su Yingxueâs eyes, her heart surging with emotions.
At this moment, she admired Su Han.
Liang Jin rushed over as quickly as possible, bringing many people from the capital prefecture with him. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He had visited the Marquisâs Manor more times than he had visited all the officialsâ homes combined.
Therefore, he was quite familiar with the place..
