Su Wanti returned to the Su Mansion.
As soon as she entered the mansion, she felt like she was falling into an icy cave. The cold and suffocating feeling from her previous life came back and drowned her.
Su's father passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi before he could become an official in the court.
His salary was not generous, but his ancestors and parents were both merchants and had considerable wealth, so they were able to buy a big house in the capital.
Su's father married a woman from an official family. After giving birth to a son and a daughter, he took in several concubines and had several more children.
Madam Su was born into an official family in the capital and valued her reputation the most, so she was very tolerant towards her concubines' children. In terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, she always treated them in the same way as the young men and women from wealthy families in the capital, and never treated them harshly.
However, she had her own biological children, and she gave all her care and love to them, so she was inevitably cold towards her illegitimate children.
The other illegitimate sons and daughters were cared for by their aunts, but Su Wanti had nothing.
Her biological mother was Su's father's third concubine, Aunt Qian.
Su Wanti was Aunt Qian's first child. Because she was a daughter, Aunt Qian disliked her as soon as she was born.
Aunt Qian felt that her daughter was unable to maintain her favor.
Her daughter was unable to take the imperial examinations, gain fame, earn an imperial edict for her, and even less able to share the family property to provide for her in her old age, so she simply threw Su Wanti to the wet nurse, only looking at her twice a day and refusing even to hold her.
She was eager to have a child, and became pregnant again just a few months after giving birth. This time, she got her wish and gave birth to a baby boy.
This baby boy is Su Wanti's biological brother, but she does not have a good relationship with her half-brother.
Her younger brother has been held in the palm of Aunt Qian's hand since he was a child and treated like a treasure.
He was spoiled to the point of being arrogant and domineering, and looked down on his sister just like Aunt Qian, so Su Wanti was too lazy to see them on weekdays.
In the entire Su Mansion, except for the wet nurse who returned home early, no one cares about Su Wanti. Even if it is not sincere, but just verbal?
Unfortunately, there is not even any false concern.
Su Wanti's life in the Su Mansion was depressing and cold, not because she was treated harshly or bullied.
Instead, they are naturally ignored by their closest relatives.
Father Su thought that his daughters were just tools for marriage arrangements. When they grew up, he would just marry into a family of equal status to maintain the relationship. He never cared about them.
The illegitimate sons and daughters were not born from Madam Su's womb, so she naturally had no maternal love for them. She just wanted to save face. She wished they would stay in their respective courtyards honestly and not hang around in front of her and get in her way.
Aunt Qian, on the other hand, despised her so deeply, as if it was her fault that she was a daughter instead of a son.
Su Wanti grew up in such a family. She was extremely lacking in love and longed for warmth. That's why she was deceived by Fu Ziyu's sweet words and lost her mind.
The little bit of care and concern that Fu Ziyu showed her was a warmth she had never felt before.
To her, it was like a life-saving straw, like a clear spring when she was hungry and thirsty, making her risk her life without hesitation.
Therefore, when she learned that Fu Ziyu was about to marry the princess, she was so sad and angry that she took a sword and went to the door of the prime minister's residence, threatening to commit suicide to get to the bottom of the matter.
Su Wanti grasped the sword in her hand. She had picked up this sword from her father's study when she hurried out.
In her previous life, she couldn't stand the cold sarcasm of Fu Ziyu and Miss Fu's family. She was so ashamed that she threw down her sword and left.
In this life, she brought the sword back.
Logically speaking, Su Wanti should have secretly returned the sword to the study without her father noticing.
However, Su Wanti changed her mind and decided not to return the sword. She decided to take the sword back to her room and hide it, maybe she would need it in the future.
Su Wanti walked towards her yard with her head down.
Just like in her previous life, she walked through the front yard and just as she was about to step into the inner courtyard, she saw three pretty and beautiful girls standing under the hanging flower gate.
These three girls are all daughters of the Su family, and like Su Wanti, they are all concubines.
Their fair little faces were filled with resentment and their eyes were blazing with anger, as if they wished to burn Su Wanti to death.
"Su Wanti! How dare you come back? You've completely disgraced our Su family!"
"Fu Ziyu is the eldest son of the prime minister. How dare you slander his innocence and say that he had an affair with you?"
"Why don't you just take a look at yourself? You're dull and silent, like a mute. How could Mr. Fu possibly be interested in you?"
Su Wanti had just experienced great sorrow and joy, she was very tired, and she didn't want to get entangled with her sisters.
She raised her clear eyes, her pupils were distinct black and white, as cold as the stars in the autumn night, and she could see into people's hearts without them realizing it.
Several girls held their breath for a moment when they saw her look.
They knew that Fu Ziyu treated this fifth sister differently, and they all knew in their hearts that what Su Wanti said in the Prime Minister's Mansion today was most likely true.
They felt jealous and gritted their teeth secretly.
But, what if it was true? Fu Ziyu clearly despised her humble background and refused to acknowledge it.
Seeing how miserable she was, like a lost dog, the eyes of these women lit up again, as if they were looking forward to a good show.
Su Wanti's eyes swept over them.
Although her half-sisters were not very close to her, they never bullied her.
Like her, they were women who could not study or take the imperial examinations, nor could they go out to do business. They had only one way to go, which was to pray to marry into a good family and become a legitimate wife.
She had a secret relationship with Fu Tzuyu and made a big deal out of it. Everyone knew that Fu Tzuyu was a man, came from a prominent family, and had family support. It was easy to remove him from this gossip and nothing else would be affected.
As for the Su family, it’s hard to say.
The Su family's daughter's future marriage might also be affected.
Thinking of this, Su Wanti felt a little guilty towards them.
However, she knew that in her previous life, her half-sisters had all married into families of equal status and became young ladies, so her guilt only lasted for a second.
Very good, after being reborn, she doesn’t need to seek revenge or make compensation to her sisters.
Just like in the previous life, it would be nice to maintain this fragile and ordinary blood relationship without any effort.
Su Wanti lowered her eyes and answered their ridicule and questioning with silence.
Then, with a cold expression, she walked around the three people as if nothing had happened.
"Hey! Look at her attitude? She doesn't think she's done anything wrong. She doesn't even take us seriously!"
The girl's angry voice came from behind Su Wanti, but Su Wanti turned a deaf ear and left.
"Fifth sister, you are in the limelight today. The whole capital knows that there is a shameless nymphomaniac in our Su Mansion. She is obsessed with Fu Gongzi and is willing to sacrifice her life for him."
A cold voice filled with sarcasm sounded above Su Wanti's head.
Su Wanti bit her lip and sighed inwardly. She had quickened her pace and was about to reach her own yard after walking through the corridor in front, but unfortunately she still met them.
She looked up at the person who spoke.
Just like in her previous life, the Su brothers, her biological older brother and younger brother, stood in front of her, blocking her way.
The leader was the eldest son of the Su family, Su Hanri.
