Didn't wait for Tan Xi, but waited for Fu Xuechen's wedding
Madam Su heard the commotion outside and hurried out. Seeing this scene, she immediately protected Su Zhaoming behind her and said, "What are you doing? Isn't it enough to bully me? Today you're bullying your brother too?"
When Su Zhaoming heard this, he hurriedly asked his mother, "Mom, what did my sister do to you?"
"She...she seduced the old man next door. I just said a few words to her and she ran away from home. She also asked Tan Xi's servants to beat me." Madam Su sniffed and tears immediately flowed down her face, looking very serious.
Su Qingli froze in place as if struck by lightning, the blood drained from her face, and her voice trembled slightly with shock and injustice.
"When did I ever seduce anyone? When did I ever let Tan Xi's servants beat you?"
"It's you! My wound is still there!" Mrs. Su pretended to unbutton her clothes to show her wound.
This gave Su Zhaoming an excuse to turn the tables. He snatched Su Qingli's broom and said, "If you hadn't provoked Qi Jinqian and acted so ficklely, how could I have been beaten? I sent you there to save my own life. What's wrong with that?"
"You actually bullied my mother while I was away. Are you still human?"
Madam Su quickly stood beside her son and pointed at Su Qingli angrily, "If it weren't for you, Zhaoming and I wouldn't have such a hard life, and your father wouldn't have been killed. It's all because of you, this jinx!"
They looked at him with undisguised deep hatred, as if they were his sworn enemies.
But these were clearly the family she painstakingly protected and supported...
Su Qingli felt her heart sink, she was broken into pieces, bleeding profusely, and had lost all her strength.
She laughed out of anger, and tears started to flow as she laughed, but she still laughed.
Mrs. Su and Su Zhaoming were both a little overwhelmed by her reaction. They suppressed their creepy feelings and showed no sign of backing down.
If Su Qingli doesn't compromise and returns to her previous submissive attitude, their lives will not be easy and they will have to control her.
Su Qingli raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, as if she was looking at a stranger with no connection to her. Her tone was cold and icy: "Since you hate me so much, then let's break off all ties. I don't want to see you again. Get out of my house."
"No...why shouldn't you get out?" Mrs. Su was speechless.
"I rented this house with my money, so it's fine if you can pay the rent." Su Qingli looked at them coldly, "If you can't pay the rent, please ask Madam Su to take your son and leave!"
"Sister..." Su Zhaoming never expected that Su Qingli would not only not give in, but also kick them out.
Su Qingli scolded him coldly: "Don't call me sister, I'm not your sister."
Mrs. Su couldn't stand it anymore, she pushed Su Qingli hard and wanted to kick her out of the house.
"The one who should leave is you!"
"Son, help me kick this woman out and don't let her occupy our house."
Su Zhaoming hesitated for a moment, then thought that he still had to take the imperial examination and marry Pianran, so it was naturally impossible for him to live on the streets at this time. He hurried forward to help his mother.
Su Qingli struggled to resist, but her strength was no match for those two ruffians. She was quickly dragged and pushed to the door.
Even though her body was covered in scratches, she was numb and didn't feel any pain at all.
At this moment, several secret guards appeared again and kicked the mother and son to the ground.
The leading secret guard saw Su Qingli was a little dazed and asked respectfully, "Miss Su, are you okay?"
Su Qingli glanced at him calmly and nodded, "I'm fine. I'll have to trouble you to help me drive them out."
After receiving the order, several secret guards strode towards the mother and child on the ground.
Madam Su stepped back in fear. "You...you, this is our family affair. Why do you have the right to interfere?"
The secret guard kicked Madam Su in the mouth, and blood splattered out immediately.
Su Zhaoming widened his eyes and hurried to check on his mother. When he looked up, he saw that Su Qingli had no reaction and even had a strange smile on the corner of her mouth.
He instantly got goosebumps all over his body...
Is this Su Qingli still the sister he knew before?
Madam Su wiped the blood, and the more she wiped, the more blood there was. She burst into tears, "Zhao Ming, is Mother going to die?"
Su Zhaoming took a last look at the indifferent Su Qingli, suppressed his palpitations and stood up, knowing that if they didn't leave now, these people would probably kill them, and Su Qingli would not stop them.
"Mother... let's go quickly." Su Zhaoming swallowed and said vaguely.
The two of them supported each other as they left, and their backs looked extremely embarrassed.
Su Qingli stared at their backs, her chest should have been torn apart, because those were her blood relatives.
But for some reason, a twisted sense of relief and pleasure quietly grew in her heart, which even frightened her.
Seeing Su Qingli's ferocious expression, several secret guards looked at each other. The leading secret guard asked tentatively, "Miss Su, are you okay?"
Su Qingli came back to her senses and immediately smiled warmly: "It's okay, thank you very much. I wonder if Tan Xi told you anything before leaving?"
Now Tan Xi is the only person she trusts.
"Mr. Tan asked us to protect Miss Su well, otherwise he will not let us go easily." The secret guard said unintentionally.
Su Qingli was slightly stunned. This was not like Tan Xi's style at all.
Maybe he cares more about himself.
She curled her lips, looking immersed in sweetness.
After Su Qingli calmed down, she began to take care of the pastry shop. She was busy for nearly half a month before she successfully opened the shop.
On the first day of opening, business was better than she had imagined, and she and Xiaoxiang were very busy.
When night fell, Su Qingli pulled down the gate and sat in the shop with Xiaoxiang to count the money they earned that day.
"I earned nearly a thousand copper coins today."
Xiaoxiang didn't expect the business to be so booming. "Oh, so much money, miss, are we going to get rich?"
Su Qingli counted out three hundred lines to her and said, "Take these, they are your dividends."
Xiaoxiang was a little embarrassed. "Miss, this shop has just opened. You must have a lot of expenses. I'm not in a hurry."
"Your family is still waiting for you to support them." Su Qingli forcefully stuffed the money into her hand. "Take it. This is what you deserve. Without you, I wouldn't be able to handle everything today."
"Then I'll accept it." Xiaoxiang smiled happily.
Although Su Qingli was busy with the store's affairs, she was also worried about Tan Xi. Seeing that he had been away for more than half a month and had not returned yet, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.
She waited day and night, but received no word from Tan Xi. Instead, she received the news of Fu Xuechen and the eldest princess's wedding, which was celebrated by the whole country.
On the day of her wedding, she was suddenly cornered by several sharp-eyed eunuchs. "Miss, Her Royal Highness the Princess invites you over for a chat."
Su Qingli's heart suddenly sank. She quickly glanced around and found that the strong men who usually followed her like a shadow to protect her had disappeared without a trace, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth.
