She was forced to be a surrogate for her legitimate elder sister,...
Chapter 432
Soon, Yao Susu's wedding day arrived.
Yao Susu was married off directly from the Marquis's residence, and Madam Zheng showed the proper respect, having people carefully decorate the entire Marquis's residence, making it very festive.
Before the wedding, the whole family ate together. Luo smiled and toasted Zheng. The two got along very well.
Yao Yuhao, on the other hand, seemed to have a hint of displeasure in his expression.
After a few rounds of drinks, Yao Yuhao suddenly spoke up: "Yushu, you handled Susu's marriage very well, I am very satisfied."
The smile on Zheng's face froze.
She naturally sensed the condescending tone in Yao Yuhao's words.
"I am Susu's aunt. Since my cousin-in-law has come to me with her people, I will do my best to help," Madam Zheng said calmly.
Yao Yuhao snorted unhappily and said, "Since you handled Susu's marriage so well, you must be even more concerned about Duoduo's marriage. With Susu first, Duoduo's marriage should be even easier to discuss."
His words completely chilled the atmosphere at the table.
Madam Zheng said with a stern face: "Susu is my niece, so what is Yao Duoduo's identity? Even if we don't talk about her identity, cousin, don't you know what Yao Duoduo has done?"
"What did she do? She just had a little argument with one of the concubines in your household," Yao Yuhao said. "It was just a quarrel between women, and you actually kicked her out. You're supposed to be an elder, how can you be so petty?!"
With a loud bang, Madam Zheng, unable to bear it any longer, slammed her chopsticks down on the table.
She was always gentle and mild-mannered, and no one expected her to suddenly become so tough. Even Shen Jun subconsciously shrugged his shoulders and then turned to look at her.
“It seems that my cousin-in-law is still concerned about her reputation and didn’t tell my cousin about it,” Zheng said, glancing at Luo. “If it were just a dispute, why would I have kicked her out of the Marquis’s mansion? Do you know that your good daughter brazenly served my pregnant aunt a bowl of abortion soup!”
"Luckily, my aunt was prepared and didn't drink that soup, otherwise it wouldn't just be a matter of kicking her out of the mansion!"
Hearing Zheng's words, Yao Yuhao's eyes widened, and he said incredulously, "This is impossible! Duoduo isn't that kind of person!"
He abruptly turned to look at Luo Shi: "This is fake, isn't it? How could Duoduo do such a thing?!"
Madam Luo took a deep breath: "Sir, it is indeed true."
"Nonsense!" Yao Yuhao stood up abruptly, his movement so sudden that the chair behind him flew off. "Duoduo couldn't possibly do such a thing. There must be something fishy going on here. Besides, she's just a concubine. Even if she really did drink the medicine, so what?!"
Is a concubine really that precious?!
Before Zheng and Shen could speak, Luo couldn't hold back any longer: "Yao Duoduo is just a concubine's daughter! Doesn't the master still cherish her like the apple of his eye?!"
Yao Yuhao was taken aback when he didn't expect Luo's side to turn against him at this critical juncture, and he was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
Madam Luo sneered, "Am I wrong? Didn't Master originally plan to simply marry Susu off to one of his students, and then have Yao Duoduo use Susu's connections to marry into a prestigious family in Luoyang after Susu came with the student?!"
When Luo Shi pointed out that he had been thinking the whole time, a look of panic flashed across Yao Yuhao's face: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Yunxi subconsciously looked at Yao Susu.
Yao Susu was staring blankly at Luo Shi, clearly unaware of Yao Yuhao's thoughts.
Now that the matter was out in the open, Luo looked at Yao Susu and smiled weakly.
