Chapter 40: Persecution
Yu Shengsheng's heart seemed to be constantly pulled by two invisible hands, and she was so uncomfortable that she couldn't speak.
Mrs. Su wanted to pull her hand, but she subconsciously raised her hand to avoid it.
"Shengsheng, mother is begging you just this once, for the last time."
"Save your brother, okay?"
Yu Shengsheng wanted to ask, if she wanted to save Su Dingqin, would she have to sacrifice herself?
But I still didn't ask.
There is no need to ask further questions when you already know the answer.
Mrs. Su came here to force her, that was the answer.
Su Yanshu listened quietly behind the tree, waiting for Yu Shengsheng to speak.
When Mrs. Su was about to get excited again, Su Yanshu stepped out.
"Mother."
Madam Su grabbed him and said, "Yanshu, you're here just in time. Go and talk to Shengsheng and ask her to save your brother."
Yu Shengsheng spoke first: "Madam Su, instead of asking me, it would be better for her to ask the Second Young Master. After all, he is a favorite of the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince always has more say than others."
Madam Su's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Yes, Yanshu, can you ask the prince for help? The prince can talk to the Red Dragon Guards."
"Zhenqiao Tower is really not a place for people to stay. How can your elder brother bear it..."
Su Yanshu suppressed his annoyance and said, "Mother, go back and rest first. Shengsheng and I will think of a solution."
Mrs. Su wanted to say more, but Su Yanshu squeezed her hand with a little force. She swallowed her words back and walked away, looking back every few steps.
Su Yanshu smiled at Yu Shengsheng, his tone gentle and considerate: "How are your injuries? Does it still hurt?"
He took out a medicine bottle and said, "Here, this is for you. Apply it well. It can prevent scars. Scars on girls are not good."
"Thank you for your kindness, Second Young Master. No need for medicine. I have more than a dozen scars on my body when I was in the Villa."
Su Yanshu held the medicine bottle tightly, with a smile on his face: "Are you still angry with second brother? Second brother saw everything that happened today, and he doesn't blame you."
Yu Shengsheng looked up in surprise, and Su Yanshu raised his hand to brush the hair beside her ear: "It's Ruzhu."
Yu Shengsheng frowned slightly, confused, but suddenly she understood.
I see.
Su Yanshu continued, "And last time when the dog was killed, Ruzhu lied and wronged you."
"Don't worry, my second brother will not let go of anyone who wronged you. I have already killed Ruzhu with my own hands to vent your anger."
Yu Shengsheng was shocked. Kill him? Just like that?!
"Second Master, your sword is so swift. I haven't seen Ruzhu again yet, and I haven't asked her why she did this, and whether she was instructed by someone."
Su Yanshu sighed softly, "No one is instructing me. It's just that... ever since you came back home, I've disliked you. I feel that you have suddenly become a powerful figure, and I'm jealous and dissatisfied. This time, I asked her to serve you again, and I actually developed a malicious heart."
"It's my fault, second brother. I was biased last time. If you still feel wronged, why don't you tell me what you want and I will get it for you."
Yu Shengsheng clenched her fists and her heart was beating wildly.
Su Yanshu has handsome eyebrows and eyes, and is about 60% similar to Madam Su. He looks even more amiable and gentle when he smiles, but it is precisely such a person who can say the coldest words.
"Don't worry, Second Young Master. I have no grievances and I don't want anything." Yu Shengsheng lowered her eyes and bowed, "If Second Young Master is really willing to help, why not persuade Madam to let Grandma Wu come to my yard."
"Can I?"
Su Yanshu chuckled: "How difficult is this?"
"Didn't my second brother say this morning that when you and the prince get married, you will give her as your dowry."
Yu Shengsheng's heart suddenly sank: "Didn't they say that the prince was injured in Shunchang..."
"So what if he's injured? The King of Nanshun is so glorious. How could the Crown Prince go to the capital without preparation? It's possible that he'll be delayed for a few days on the way, but it won't ruin anything."
"Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent someone to pick him up."
Yu Shengsheng's palms were covered with sweat. It was impossible to avoid it!
"Speaking of the Shunchang incident, my second brother doesn't believe it either. This matter is related to my eldest brother. When you went to Zhenqiao Tower, what did Commander Hao say?"
Yu Shengsheng guessed that this was the real purpose of Su Yanshu saying so much.
"What Commander Hao asked me was nothing more than my relationship with the Shen family and whether I had offended anyone. He also asked me if I had a bad fate."
"I was taken away to learn the rules before, and this happened right after I returned home."
Su Yanshu's smile froze for a moment, then faded away: "How could it be? Shengsheng is the daughter of our Su family, and will soon become the consort of the Crown Prince of Nanshun. How could she have such a bad fate?"
"How did you know Commander Hao? He actually let you come back. My second brother was still running around outside, asking for help, but then I heard that you returned home."
"I don't know Commander Hao at all. I just found out about him this time," Yu Shengsheng looked at him directly. "Maybe he has heard some rumors about me and knows that I hurt sisters, so he has some impression of me."
Su Yanshu chuckled: "After a trip to Zhenqiao Tower, Shengsheng's speech has improved."
"Mother asked you to go once. In my opinion, you should go again. Commander Hao should also know that you are going to marry Prince Kong. I believe he will give you some face."
When Yu Shengsheng heard him calling him "marry" and "Prince Kong" all the time, she felt a little angry.
"If Commander Hao tells me to stay and replace the Major General, what do you think I should do, Second Young Master?"
Su Yanshu's eyes narrowed and his lips pursed.
This question really needs to be considered carefully.
If Yu Shengsheng stayed, what would happen to her marriage with Kong Dezhao? Other things could be suppressed and excused, but if she really stayed in Zhenqiao Tower for a few days, she couldn't hide it.
Will Kong Dezhao agree to have such a Crown Princess at that time?
If the marriage fails, how will the prince explain it?
For a moment, countless questions flashed through Su Yanshu's mind.
"Well, Shengsheng, go ask first and explain for big brother. I don't think Commander Hao is unreasonable. He shouldn't let you replace big brother. If that's the case," Su Yanshu paused, his expression serious, "Second brother can't let you stay there either. I'll think of other ways."
Jin Baobao laughed briefly - the commander-in-chief is not an unreasonable person? Who gave him the courage to say that?
Su Yanshu glanced at her and Jin Baobao rolled his eyes.
Yu Shengsheng didn't want to agree, but Grandma Wu was in Madam Su's hands now, and she also wanted to ask Hao Mengye what was going on with Kong Dezhao.
Thinking of this, she finally nodded: "Okay, then I'll go there, but please help me, Second Young Master. When I come back, I hope to see Grandma Wu."
Su Yanshu agreed immediately: "Okay."
Su Yanshu immediately asked his personal servant to prepare a carriage and take Yu Shengsheng to Zhenqiao Tower.
When the carriage drove away, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
He actually agreed.
It depends on whether the thing can be done. If it can be done, then this sister... needs to be re-examined.
He tilted his head to look at the guards behind him and said indifferently, "Keep an eye on that little maid, and kill her if she's left alone."
That wild maid really annoyed him.
