Chapter 14: The Su Family is Not Human
When Yu Shengsheng saw Mrs. Su's expression, she knew it was definitely not a good idea.
She remained calm and listened quietly.
Madam Su stepped forward and gently held her hand, feeling helpless and sad: "Shengsheng, your elder brother quarreled with others because of you."
"The third son of the Lu family is the devil of the capital. Your elder and second brothers usually don't mess with him. He is just eager to protect you!"
Yu Shengsheng sneered secretly, I really have to thank him.
"Madam, why don't you just tell me what you want me to do?"
Madam Su sobbed and said, "Why don't you go to the Lu family and ask for forgiveness, then we can bail your brother out."
Yu Shengsheng looked up in surprise, unable to believe her ears.
Let her take the blame?
Su Dingqin did something out of madness, and she, a girl, was asked to go and apologize?
Yu Shengsheng's heart felt as if it was soaked in ice. She pulled back her hand and said, "Madam, are you joking? The Lu family knows who I am? I am a cousin of the Su family. Will they let me visit them?"
Su Zhiyi said with concern: "Sister, don't worry about this. I can let Ru Jian go with you."
Yu Shengsheng didn't even look at her: "Don't bother, Princess. I can't afford your guards."
The old lady slammed the table and said, "What are you making a fuss about? This incident started because of you. Your eldest brother is in prison to protect you. He is a major general and the eldest son and grandson of our Su family. Where can you let him put his face? Where can you put the face of the Su family?"
Aunt Zhao quickly patted her on the back and said, "Old Madam, take care of yourself and calm down. I'll make you some tea."
Yu Shengsheng heard the threat in the words, thought about Grandma Wu who was still boiling water, and suppressed all her emotions.
"Okay, I'll go."
"Good boy, I'm sorry for wronging you. Mother knows..."
Yu Shengsheng didn't want to listen to such clichés anymore, so she bowed and walked out.
Mrs. Su looked at her back, her heart aching - this was her own daughter, the flesh and blood of her body after ten months of pregnancy. She felt sorry for her who had never had a good life since childhood.
But what could she do? For the sake of her eldest son, she had to do this to make the Lu family give in.
I can only let Shengsheng suffer.
Yu Shengsheng arrived at the gate of the mansion. The sharp thorns of the bramble she had prepared on her back immediately pierced through her summer clothes, and blood stains immediately soaked through her clothes, like red plum blossoms.
She trembled slightly and clenched her teeth.
Mrs. Su chased after him and cried again, covering her mouth.
Su Zhiyi gently advised: "Mother, don't cry, your sister is also trying to save your brother, we have no other way."
Madam Su nodded: "Shengsheng, we'll be at Lu's house soon..."
Before she could finish her words, Yu Shengsheng had already walked out of the house.
As soon as they walked onto the street, many people were surprised to see this scene: a beautiful girl with skin as white as snow, carrying a black whip on her back, her body covered in blood, walking slowly and firmly step by step.
The initial discussions turned into silence as the blood dripped.
The hot wind blowing towards us seemed to have lost its temperature, making people feel cold.
"This must... hurt so much!"
Someone in the crowd whispered.
"If this girl's parents saw this, they would be heartbroken."
Yu Shengsheng didn't cry when she heard Mrs. Su's idea;
I didn’t cry when the old lady scolded me;
I didn't cry when the thorns on my back were piercing and bleeding.
Now when I heard the passerby say this, my eyes suddenly became a little moist.
At the Lu family's house, Lu Xingzhan was looking in the mirror while a servant rolled an egg on his face.
"This Su guy is too cruel. Next time I see him, I will smash his head to vent your anger!"
Lu Xingzhan sneered: "No one in the Su family is a good person. They are nothing. Hiss... Be gentle! I just didn't expect that Boss Su would dare to bully me."
The servant outside ran in: "Third Master, someone from the Su family is here."
Lu Xingzhan leaned lazily on the chair and closed his eyes: "No, let them wait outside the door and stand in the sun for an hour before I tell you."
"Yes, I'll pass the message on right away," the servant turned and walked out, muttering, "That little girl will be skinned alive."
"Come back," Lu Xingzhan opened his eyes, "What did you say, little girl?"
"A little girl from the Su family came here carrying a thorn on her back."
Lu Xingzhan slowly sat up and pushed the servant away with his hand: "Who is coming? A girl? Fair-skinned and pretty?"
The servant nodded repeatedly.
Lu Xingzhan cursed very slowly: "The Su family is really not human."
Yu Shengsheng stood at the door of the Lu family, sweat mixed with blood dripping down, the clothes on her back stuck to her flesh, and she was numb from the pain.
People watching the fun gathered not far away, talking in low voices.
"Who is this girl? She looks so pitiful."
"I heard it was the Su family who offended Third Master Lu."
"Mr. Lu is making things so difficult for a girl? That's too much..."
When Lu Xingzhan came out, he vaguely heard these words and was furious.
"The Su family is not a decent person. They let me get scolded, but they didn't even ask around. Are you, Third Master Lu, the one who is taking the blame?..."
He came out in a rage, but when he saw Yu Shengsheng's miserable condition, his voice stopped abruptly.
Yu Shengsheng's face was pale, her forehead was soaked with sweat, her black hair stuck to her cheeks, her curved black eyebrows were also washed by sweat, and her dark eyes made people feel suffocated.
Lu Xingzhan clenched his back teeth and cursed the Su family a thousand times in his heart.
Holding back his anger, he walked towards Yu Shengsheng with thunderous steps: "Are you a fool? Have you become stupid because of being bullied by the Su family?"
His tone was fierce, but he softened unconsciously at the end: "Before you took the blame, today you bear the bruises, is there anything in this world that you dare not bear?"
Yu Shengsheng pursed her cracked lips and said, "I hope that Third Master Lu will be magnanimous and spare First Master Su and allow him to go home on bail."
Lu Xingzhan looked at her steadily, sized her up for a few seconds, and then let out a short laugh in anger.
"Okay, okay, my young master is magnanimous. My grandfather has enough stomach to support a boat, okay? Hurry up and leave!"
Yu Shengsheng stopped to salute, and the larger the movement, the more blood flowed.
Lu Xingzhan turned his head away and scolded the servant: "What are you standing there for? Drive her back, don't let her die on the way and blame me again."
"yes!"
The servant turned around and was about to drive the car, but Yu Shengsheng said, "No need, I can walk back by myself."
She didn't want to create unnecessary complications and go through the same thing again.
Lu Xingzhan opened his mouth: "Whatever you want! Walk around if you want!"
Yu Shengsheng turned and walked away, with the servant following her from a distance.
At the intersection, inside the carriage, Ru Jian saw this scene clearly.
"Isn't Lu San a devil? How could he let her go so easily?" Ru Jian grabbed the car curtain tightly, indignant, "It must be because of her seductive face. Lu San was actually deceived by her."
Su Zhiyi spoke word by word: "Shut up."
Yu Shengsheng dragged his heavy steps and walked under the scorching sun. Sweat soaked his eyes and his whole body ached.
It’s almost over. Let’s go back and put an end to it for now.
Grandma Wu’s danger has been resolved today.
She wiped the sweat off her forehead and in her blurred vision, she saw a figure rushing towards her in a cloud of dust.
"Don't run, stop!"
