Min Jiaâs voice carried from afar, and Su Yingxue observed her limping figure, shaking her head. âWalking like that, your leg may never fully recover. It might leave you permanently disabled.â
âSo be it! Tell me, what have you done to Jinxuan? Why hasnât he come? The entire Su family is here, yet whereâs Jinxuan?â Min Jiaâs eyes reddened as she demanded answers.
âJinxuan?â Su Yingxue lazily placed her hand on her forehead. âA young girl like the county lord addressing my brother in such an intimate manner seems rather inappropriate, donât you think? Itâs better to address him differently!â âItâs none of your business! I demand to know where Jinxuan is! What have you done to him?â Min Jia was about to grab Su Yingxue.
She was deeply concerned about Su Jinxuan.
âWhat I do to him is no concern of yours, county lord. Who are you to him? Su Jinxuan belongs to the Marquisâs Manor and is my brother. As his elder sister, now overseeing the manor, itâs only natural for me to discipline him if necessary!â
Su Yingxue found an excuse to remind her, âYouâve harmed my cousin Su Han. If I take it out on Su Jinxuan, what then?â
âHe⦠His martial arts are strong! Youâre lying!â Min Jiaâs heart was in turmoil.
âStrong martial arts?â Su Yingxue pretended to be arrogant. âWith the top assassin from the Silver Moon Pavilion by my side, can anyone be stronger? And with the Poison Doctor Saint Ruan in my household, can anyone escape? With them, I donât even need the shadow guards Your Highness sent me!â Su Yingxue sighed as if lamenting.
âSu! Ying! Xue!â
âHow could you treat your own her like this?!â Min Jia wanted to tear her apart.
âHuh! We donât share the same mother. Why canât I treat him like this? Just like how you treated my sister!â Su Yingxue was about to leave. Her demeanor became more relaxed.
Min Jia cried even harder. She had always been arrogant, but she suddenly put down her walking stick and knelt in front of Su Yingxue, begging, âSu Yingxue, please donât harm Jinxuan. Iâll do anything you ask!â
As expected, Su Yingxue looked at Min Jia with pity. âI want justice for my cousin. You can think about what to do yourself.â
She left after speaking, but Min Jia remained kneeling, crying so hard that she almost fainted. It was only when Madam Sheng and Chu Xiaotian found her that they carried her away.
Su Han watched Su Yingxue return from a distance and understood. âIs this your plan, Yingxue?â
They had saved the servants of the Regional Princeâs Mansion and allowed Liang Jin to take their testimonies. However, convicting Madam Sheng and Min Jia wouldnât be easy because they were not ordinary women.
Su Yingxue smiled. âSister, I promised you Iâd seek justice for you.â
Su Hanâs eyes were filled with gratitude. âThank you, Yingxue.â
âBut is Sister willing to sever ties with Chu Xiaotian?â Su Yingxueâs face showed a hint of apology. âIâm sorry, Sister. Iâve read your letter and I can sense your lingering feelings for him.â
Su Hanâs eyes were calm, devoid of the grief and sadness she once had when leaving Chu Xiaotian.
She assured Su Yingxue, âDonât worry. Iâll make him personally sign the Book of Extinction. After that, Iâll have nothing to do with him in this life.â
Su Yingxue was slightly surprised. She couldnât figure out what Su Han had in mind.
In the past, she always felt that Su Han didnât seem like a daughter of the Marquisâs Manor..
