âThen Su Hao will hate you, wonât he? You didnât want to bear the blame, so you set up this trap to make our clan cousin and the old man here be the villains, to disgrace Wu Jinyan. With the reputation of the Marquisâs Manor, you cut off the path between Su Hao and her, right?â
Su Qingzhi pressed question after question without leaving her any face, exposing her insidious schemes one by one.
Though he was old, to him, Lu Yingâs petty tricks were still not worth mentioning.
Lu Yingâs face was so pale it lacked any trace of color as she bit her lip hard, âYes, I calculated it all. And I even had Xuan Zhu spread the news that Su Hao and I have already had intimate relations, so⦠Su Hao would have no choice but to marry me!â
Lu Ying simply laid everything out in the open.
âYouâre dreaming! Even if brother canât marry Sister Jinyan, he would never marry a despicable person like you! Youâre not even worthy of carrying brotherâs shoes!â Su Yingxue fumed with rage.
Her momentary carelessness allowed this vile person to take advantage of her!
It infuriated her!
âStay in line! Do not forget your manners!â Su Qingzhi glanced sternly at Su Yingxue.
Chomping at the bit, Su Yingxue stormed back into Chu Yihanâs embrace and, as if to vent her anger, punched Chu Yihan twice, âIâm so angry!â
âSo, youâre taking it out on Your Highness?â Chu Yihanâs tone was indulgent, but with a hint of helplessness.
Su Yingxue came to her senses, saw her own fists, and hurriedly massaged him gently, âIâm sorry, Your Highness, I didnât mean it!â
She really lost her mind when pregnant; what did Chu Yihan have to do with it, why was she hitting him?
Su Yingxue tenderly massaged Chu Yihanâs chest and even buried her face into it to give him a kiss, softly asking, âDid I hurt Your Highness?â
Even though her martial arts had improved, they were still not enough to injure Chu Yihan.
Chu Yihan kissed her forehead, âNo harm done, Your Highness will vent your anger for you.â
Even if she wanted to punch him more, he would let her.
He was happy to oblige.
Mo Qi silently shifted to one side, this dog food, he really hadnât seen it for quite some time.
The familiar recipe.
The familiar flavor.
He glanced at Zi Wei, who was not far from Su Yingxue, and kindly suggested, âWhy donât you move over here? Otherwise, youâll be stuffed with dog food.â
Zi Wei hesitated for a moment, then moved over with his saber.
But Su Yingxue was still within his field of vision.
Su Qingzhi did not punish Lu Ying, maybe because of his status, maybe considering the future when Lu Chongming would go to war with the army.
However, Lu Ying grasped his sleeve, âOld General, I know this time Iâve disgraced the Marquisâs Manor, itâs my fault, but please, for the sake of my heart belonging only to Su Hao, let me marry him. I am already his, and I will never marry another in this life. Plus, as long as I marry him, the influence brought by Wu Jinyan will slowly fade away, and the Marquisâs Manor wonât be disgraced any longer because of it.â
âDo you think my Marquisâs Manor cares about such face? Lu Ying, you are underestimating the Marquisâs Manor too much!â
With a snort, Su Qingzhi shook off Lu Yingâs hand.
âSo, the Marquisâs Manor doesnât care about responsibility anymore? After Su Hao ruins me, youâll just send me away? Old General!â
Lu Ying knelt and crawled over, clinging to his legs, âIn this life, I will only marry Su Hao, even if Iâm only a concubine! I must be with him. Am I still not good enough compared to that Wu Jinyan carrying a bastard child? The Lu Family, a family of generations of loyal ministers, also a noble household, am I not worthy of Su Hao?â
When Lu Ying shouted out these words, she had already cast aside all concerns for her reputation. Tears welled up in her defiant eyes, but her gaze was as sharp as a blade, uncuttable and unbreakable.
