Granny Sun made her best effort to remember and then described it to Su Yingxue with gestures and words. That woman was in her thirties or forties, looking fierce and with a mole on her face. She was wearing purple clothes and even had jewelry on! We, the villagers, had never seen such opulence!
When the woman gave her a silver ingot as soon as she arrived, Granny Sun was left stunned!
Later, the woman mentioned that Granny Suns son, Wangcai, didnt have many days left to live. Once Granny Sun sorted out this matter, the woman would give her another gold ingot. If she passed away in the clinic, the woman would give two gold ingots to her daughter-in-law.
Granny Sun thought about her age and her son being gone, leaving no one to earn a living. Her grandson would go hungry. If she could trade her and her sons lives for her grandsons lifetime of security, she was more than willing!
Therefore, after discussing it with her son, they agreed to this arrangement. Little did they know
Ill send people to protect your daughter-in-law and grandson, but Granny Sun, you must come with me to the Marquiss Manor. I need you to identify the woman, Su Yingxue stated calmly.
Granny Suns daughter-in-law was still somewhat frightened. Miss Su, my mother didnt intend to harm you. Please spare her!
Even if she was coerced, she still caused harm, Su Yingxue asserted. Granny Suns family was undoubtedly pitiable, but when they couldnt survive, they turned to harming her and the clinic. That was still a wrongdoing!
Granny Suns daughter-in-law continued to wipe her tears. Granny Sun looked at the child in her arms and comforted her, As long as my grandson is fine, it doesnt matter whether I live or die!
Su Yingxue left the room and instructed Manager Qi to arrange for Granny Suns grandson and daughter-in-law. She then covertly had Granny Sun transported back to the Marquiss Manor.
Manager Qi asked with concern, Miss, why dont we report this to the authorities? We have concrete evidence this time, and we can certainly uncover who harmed you.
I already know who it is, Su Yingxue said with a sharp twist of her lips.
Who? Manager Qis eyes widened, and he watched Su Yingxues expression, venturing a guess, Is it someone from the Marquiss Manor? Are they deliberately harming Miss?
Su Yingxue didnt clarify but instead instructed him, Go to the Capital Prefecture and file an official report. Describe the case clearly, stating that the culprit is within the Marquiss Manor. Ask Lord Liang to come to the Marquiss Manor and handle the case justly.
Yes. Will do it immediately.Chck out ltst vl on novl/bin(.)cm
Su Yingxue and Manager Qi went their separate ways.
Upon her return to the Marquiss Manor, Su Yingxue remained silent. Later that night, Zhilan came to report on the situation within the Marquiss Manor over the past two days.
During these last two days, Marquis didnt visit the courtesan belles quarters and instead rested in Lady Lius Qingxin Court. Miss, is Marquis favoring Lady Liu and her daughter once again? Zhilan furrowed her brow with worry.
Looking at the account book, Su Yingxue let out a cold laugh. When has he not been partial?
During this period Zhilan began to say but realized that Su Dingheng had recently shown particular appreciation for Su Yingxue.
Upon further thought, it was because Su Yingxue had been managing the Marquiss Manor efficiently and successfully, which earned her Su Dinghengs praise. But it wasnt from the heart.
Zhilans gaze turned icy, and she expressed her resentment, Marquis has never genuinely cared for you, Miss.
Yes, because of my mother, Su Yingxue replied as she closed the account book, her eyes flashing with a sharp edge.
She had only recently come to a realization.
In her previous life, her foolishness accounted for 99% of her disaster, but the remaining 1%, her fathers bias, played a significant role.
Su Dingheng was pleased when her older brother excelled, and he would praise her when she did well. However, she could tell that Su Dingheng had never truly loved the siblings..
