Chapter 100 She resents, she is angry, she hates!

A door temporarily isolates the chaos and noise outside.

But Su Rui said it easily, but she was uncontrollably panicking in her heart.

Although she hit Zhou Yao, what Zhou Yao said was true.

Even though she has been cleared of the injustice she suffered five years ago, the fact remains that she was a slave for five years.

In everyone's eyes, she is absolutely no match for Yun Ji. No matter how extraordinary and indifferent Yun Ji was in the past, he is no longer practicing asceticism, so his considerations must be different.

If she waits, will she really get good news?

But now she really has no better choice but to wait.

This powerlessness made her anxious and uneasy.

But there was no one in the whole house who could make her tell the truth to ease her pain.

Turning around, I saw a green vegetable field. I walked forward, picked up the hoe, and wanted to use it to relieve my anxiety.

But just as he bent down to hoe the ground, he felt something hard pressing against his lower back.

I touched it with my backhand and found a round object inside the belt.

He took it out and it turned out to be the eldest prince’s jade pendant!

But Yun Ji had clearly thrown the jade pendant to the doorman, so how could it be... No, it's not the eldest prince's.

Although the jade quality, shape and size are the same, the carvings on them are different.

The dragon on this jade pendant is larger than the one for the eldest prince, and its expression is more fierce.

Could it be Yunji’s?

Thinking about how he pushed her lower back when he pushed her out of the car, it was probably stuffed in at that time.

This jade is warm jade, similar to body temperature, which is why she didn't notice it all the way.

He threw away the eldest prince's jade pendant and gave his own...

Holding the jade pendant tightly, Su Rui smiled.

There's hope.

…

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

The news that Yun Ji was conferred the title of prince gradually died down, and along with it, the troubles in the Yong'an Marquisate also faded from the people's conversation.

It was at this time that Zhou Yao's marriage was finalized.

On the eighth day of the next month, he will be carried into Prince Long's palace.

Although she was a concubine, she was now a noble concubine. She could ride in a sedan chair, enter through a side door, and even set up several banquet tables in the yard. Therefore, the Marquis's Mansion also began to prepare her dowry.

The difference is Chaoyang Courtyard, which is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.

The less news there was, the less likely others were to come here. The servants in the Marquis' Mansion didn't even dare to get close to the wall, for fear that if something happened they would be mistaken for people from Chaoyang Court.

In Chaoyang Courtyard, even though everyone was still there, the people rewarded by the Queen refused to serve in the house. Only Xier was there as usual, but she didn't say a word.

Su Rui seemed unaware of these changes and continued to loosen the soil, water and plant vegetables every day.

Until there was a knock on the closed gate.

"Rui'er, it's your father, open the door."

Xier looked at Su Rui, waiting for her to agree to open the door.

It's been ten days, and I guess Marquis Yong'an feels that this is about it.

Su Rui held the hoe and nodded.

Xier opened the gate, and Yong'an Hou was surprised for a moment to see Su Rui standing in the vegetable field with a hoe, seemingly unaffected.

But he soon seemed to understand something, walked in with a sullen face and said, "You go down, I want to have a few words with my daughter."

These words were given to Xier.

But Xier didn't move at all.

Yong'an Hou was displeased and was about to scold him, but Su Rui ordered first: "Xi'er, go down."

Only then did Xier obey the order and retreat.

Seeing Xi'er obeying Su Rui's orders, Yong'an Hou couldn't help but waver in his original thoughts. He asked tentatively, "The girl the emperor sent to you is quite loyal to you."

"I don't know where you heard that, sir. I brought Xi'er back from the border."

Su Rui did not give a direct answer.

Xier is the emperor's person, but since she doesn't say it, no one dares to make a conclusion.

If he wanted to get any information out of her, she would never let him do so.

"Rui'er, do we, as father and daughter, have to talk like this?" Marquis Yong'an frowned. He really couldn't like his daughter.

Su Rui continued to weed the fields, not even looking up as she said, "My Lord, you forgot that you and I are no longer related. We are no longer father and daughter."

"But your name and your mother's name are still in my Su family's genealogy."

Hearing the Marquis of Yong'an mention her mother, Su Rui paused, looked up at him with a resentful sneer. "So, my Lord, you still remember who my mother is. I thought you were eager to expel her from the mansion like me, and forbid her from having anything to do with you, my Lord, for generations to come."

"How dare you!" Marquis Yong'an slapped him.

Su Rui did not dodge and took the slap. The force was not small and her cheek immediately turned red with a five-finger mark.

Yong'an Hou didn't expect her to not dodge. He was flustered for a moment, then he cleared his throat unnaturally and said, "It's not your place to interfere in the affairs between your father and your mother. Hurry and pack your things. I'll prepare someone to escort you out of the capital."

"Give me a slap and I'll give you a candy." Su Rui raised her hand and rubbed her slapped cheek. She sneered and asked, "But, if you drive me away again, does that count as candy?"

"I am doing this for your own good. Don't you know what the situation is now?"

"What's going on? My injustice has been cleared, why should I still ask you to do good for me like you did five years ago?" Su Rui pronounced the three words "for my own good" very clearly.

Marquis Yong'an couldn't help but think of the time when he deceived Su Rui five years ago and what happened at the banquet to change Zhou Yao's surname.

This is to separate his mistakes and the consequences and show them to him, making him embarrassed.

Even though he already knew how sharp-tongued she was now, Marquis Yong'an couldn't help but feel a little annoyed at this moment.

"You were wronged five years ago, but the fact that you were a military slave cannot be changed. Do you still think Prince Yong would marry a fallen woman like you? That's wishful thinking!"

"A withered flower?" Su Rui's mocking eyes held a hint of hatred. "Even though he knew I was wrongly accused, in the Marquis's heart, I'm still an eyesore. So, what does the Marquis think of Zhou Yao?"

How could Yao'er compare to her? Even if she had done something wrong and even if her reputation was ruined, she had only been with a man like Chen Youmin.

It is true that Su Rui was wronged, but she had been at the border for five years, and who knows how many men she had to follow in order to survive.

But Marquis Yong'an couldn't say this after all.

Su Rui has no shame, but he still has some dignity.

No matter what, Su Rui is his daughter, and this cannot be changed. Keeping her in Beijing would be a stain.

"Your situation is different from Yao'er's. After all, you were born to me. How could I harm you? If you don't leave now, you may not be able to leave Shengjing alive. Be obedient and leave first. I will send someone to take you to Jiangnan. When you settle down, I will personally find a good marriage for you. Let the past be in the past."

These words sounded particularly familiar to Su Rui, and were similar to what she said five years ago.

For her own good.

obedient.

Be patient and bear with it first.

Your father will come to save you later.

The difference is that he easily let the past go.

The insults of five years ago, the torture day and night for five years, the pain of death and rebirth, in his words, were just things that could be easily forgotten.

Even though Su Rui had long been disappointed with everyone in the Marquis' Mansion, she still felt heartbroken when she relived yesterday.

She resents, she is angry, she hates!

"My Lord, you are so generous that you can easily let go of suffering for others. I cannot do that. If I don't take revenge, I will die with regrets."

Marquis Yong'an didn't expect that Su Rui was not only ungrateful, but also threatened him.

"You've messed up Zhou Yao and the Marquis' Mansion like this, and you haven't considered it revenge? You still want..."

"My Lord! My Lord!"

Before the Marquis of Yong'an could finish his words, the steward rushed in, shouting, "The imperial edict! The imperial edict has arrived!"
