Chapter 525: The Femme Fatale in the Double Life Story (24)

On the day of returning home, Marquis Yongchang was taking a day off.

Xie Qinglan and Su Yu got off the carriage and were welcomed into the house by the butler of the Marquis' Mansion: "The second young lady and the son-in-law are here. The master has been waiting for you since early morning."

Su Yu walked beside Xie Qinglan, like a perfect couple. She smiled and said, "My husband and I miss our father too."

They walked all the way to the main hall of the marquis' mansion, where Marquis Yongchang and his wife were waiting for them.

Marquis Yongchang was satisfied with his son-in-law Xie Qinglan. Even the great scholar he specially invited praised Xie Qinglan for his talent and potential to be the top scholar.

Su Yu and Xie Qinglan saluted together.

Yongchang Hou smiled and held out his hands to help them up: "Yu'er, my dear son-in-law, please get up quickly. We are a family and there is no need to be polite."

After asking a few simple questions about how things were going after marriage, Su Yu and the Marquis' wife suggested going to the back house to rest. Marquis Yongchang and Xie Qinglan talked in the front yard. After all, the two sides really had nothing in common.

Yongchang Hou said cheerfully: "Go ahead, just let Qinglan accompany me."

As soon as she left the main hall, the marquis' wife didn't even bother to keep her face. She directly ordered the maid to take Su Yu back to her room, and left first on the grounds of feeling unwell.

Su Yu glanced at her back and said nothing.

She said to the maid, "No need to lead the way. Just go back to the Madam. Lan Ying and I know how to get there."

After sending the maid away, Su Yu slowly took Lan Ying towards their previous courtyard.

Lan Ying was dissatisfied: "Madam is too much. Today is your return home, and she doesn't even want to give you face."

"It's good that she's not here. We'll be more comfortable."

Passing by a familiar courtyard, Su Yu smelled a strong smell of medicine. She frowned and covered her nose with a handkerchief. Turning her head, she saw someone decocting medicine in the courtyard.

Su Yu's eyes moved slightly, and she turned and walked in.

Seeing Su Yu, the servant saluted: "Second Miss."

Su Yu glanced at the medicine jar: "Why are you boiling medicine? My sister is sick?"

The maid said truthfully: "Young lady was accidentally poisoned a few days ago. This is the antidote prescribed by the doctor."

When Su Yu heard about the poisoning, she was surprised at first, but then she thought of something and immediately realized that she had never expected that the trick would actually work.

Originally, she hadn't planned to use that trick against Su Miaoer.

When Su Yu heard the antidote, her eyes darkened for a moment, but she hid it well. Worry appeared on her face, and she asked, "How is sister now?"

The maid was unaware and said happily, "The poison has been almost eliminated. The doctor said that this medicine can be eliminated in three days. Today is the last day."

Su Yu's eyes became darker as she stared at the medicine jar on the small stove, feeling like kicking it over.

"Have you found the murderer?"

The maid replied tremblingly: "Madam killed a group of servants."

This is what it means that nothing has been found. Su Yu was relieved and said, "I'll go in and see my sister."

Su Miaoer had heard the noise in the room, so she grabbed something nearby and threw it at the door, saying angrily, "I won't see her. Get out of here!"

Su Yu's face turned cold, and she didn't give any face and pushed the door open directly.

The maid in the courtyard was startled: "Second Miss."

Su Yu didn't smile much, and the only smile she had was a fake one: "Sister, why are you so angry? Be careful that the poisoning will relapse and you won't even be able to get out of bed."

Su Miaoer looked at Su Yu as if she were an enemy: "You liar!"

Su Yu knew what she was talking about, and turned to Lan Ying and told her, "Lan Ying, go and close the door. My sister and I have something to talk about alone."

Su Miaoer looked at her fiercely but did not stop her.

The door creaked shut, and Su Yu walked over slowly, staring at Su Miaoer who was lying on the bed with a very bad complexion, feeling regretful that she didn't die.

She didn’t die from falling into the water, from having a fever, or from being poisoned. Her sister is so lucky. Could it be that there are really gods and Buddhas in heaven blessing her?

It’s a pity that Su Yu doesn’t believe in gods or Buddhas, she only believes in herself.

"Don't be so generous." Su Yu picked up a stool and sat down beside Su Miaoer's bed. "Sister said I was a liar, and I also wanted to say that sister was a liar. On the wedding day, I waited in the room for a long time, but sister didn't come. I thought sister regretted it and didn't want to marry for me."

Su Miaoer gritted her teeth: "I just didn't find the opportunity!"

Su Yu curled her lips sarcastically: "So, if my sister doesn't come, I can't get into the bridal sedan? I can only refuse the marriage and be ridiculed by everyone?"

Su Miaoer couldn't say anything and could only glare at her with gritted teeth.

Su Yu suddenly smiled, and casually adjusted the hairpin on her head, allowing Su Miaoer to see her hair combed into a bun like a woman.

"In fact, after I got married, I suddenly realized that Xie Qinglan was quite good, handsome and considerate. My father said that he would definitely pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar. Although his life is a bit hard now, it would not be bad to be the wife of the top scholar in the future."

Su Miaoer's eyes seemed to be blazing with fire. It was hers, all of this should have been hers.

Su Yu pretended not to see it and continued to show off: "But with the dowry, I can't live a hard life. It's a pity that my husband doesn't want me to spend my dowry. He will also spare some energy to earn some money after studying. My husband is very talented. In just two days, he brought back a thousand taels of silver."

"My husband also said that in this life, he would not marry anyone else except me. Now that the matter is settled, sister, you should stop thinking about other things."

Su Miaoer was so angry that she was shaking and slapped him: "Bitch!"

Xie Qinglan should have been hers, she should have been the number one scholar's wife, and she should have been the one treated wholeheartedly by Xie Qinglan. God had mercy on her and allowed her to live again, so she should get what she wished for!

Su Yu's eyes were cold and gloomy. She was prepared and blocked Su Miaoer's swinging arm. Without any pause, she slapped her back.

“Bang!”

This slap is for my past self.

Su Yu has disliked Su Miaoer for a long time. In the past, she was controlled by others and could only make troubles in secret. Now that she is married, she has fewer concerns.

Su Miaoer was stunned by the beating. When she came to her senses, she became furious: "Su Yu, you dare to hit me..."

Suddenly unable to speak, Su Miaoer was shocked and angry: "Ugh!"

Su Yu pinched her face with a cold expression, "Su Miaoer, you'd better speak politely, otherwise I don't mind beating your face into a pig's head!"

From Su Yu's cold eyes, Su Miaoer could see that she would really do what she said.

Su Miaoer subconsciously shrank her neck.

Some people are just mean. They can't listen to you if you talk to them nicely. They have to use force before they will listen.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Su Yu slowly let go of her hand, stood up, and looked down at her: "Actually, I've always been curious about why you want to marry Xie Qinglan so much, but unfortunately I haven't figured it out after thinking about it for a long time."

Su Yu's eyes were so calm that they seemed to be able to see through her.

Su Miaoer subconsciously avoided his sight: "I, I like him."

"You don't like him." Su Yu denied bluntly, "You want to marry him because there is something about him that is worth pursuing."

Su Miaoer looked panicked.

Su Yu continued, half guessing, "Maybe there is another reason. Are you not satisfied with your original marriage? You don't want to marry into the Duke's Mansion?"

Su Miaoer was completely panicked. How did Su Yu know?

Su Yu had been observing Su Miaoer's face, and knowing that she was right, she curled her lips and said, "Actually, if Sister doesn't want to marry into the Duke's Mansion, I have a solution. It depends on whether Sister is willing or not."
