Chapter 208 Voluntarily Leaving the Zhao Family
"Su Cheng, you bitch!"
Zhao Sheng'er got the news from somewhere and rushed straight into the brothel. Perhaps she was too anxious, so much so that even her hairpin came crooked and her hair was a little messy, not looking like a daughter of a wealthy family at all.
When her eyes fell on Zhou Qi's blood-stained right leg, and then looked at Zhou Shangshu with a grim expression beside him, Zhao Sheng'er felt dizzy and could hardly stand.
She moved her gaze a little late, looking at Su Cheng with endless hatred suppressed in her eyes, "Su Cheng, I admit that there was some unhappiness between you and me in the past, but it was not a deep hatred. You wouldn't hurt me to this extent, right?"
Seeing her show up, Su Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Not a deep hatred?
Qian was imprisoned because of her own revelations, and the power that the eldest wife had painstakingly built up collapsed in an instant.
If Zhao Sheng'er ever gained power, the first person she would kill would be herself.
Su Cheng still has this confidence.
"I hurt you?" Su Cheng raised his eyes to look at her, a smile on his lips, "Sister Sheng'er, I don't understand what you said."
"What are you still pretending to be?" Zhao Sheng'er was furious, her chest heaving violently. "You're just jealous that I can marry the man of my dreams, so you deliberately made a scene in public and tried to ruin my marriage!"
After saying that, she started running towards Zhou Qi, but before she had taken two steps, a long sword was found across her chest.
Zhao Sheng'er paused, her face pale with fear. She looked down at the sword and asked through gritted teeth, "Su Cheng, what on earth are you going to do?"
"Is it so hard to tell what I want to do?" Su Cheng smiled at her. The oppressive feeling on her body made the people on the other side dare not look at her. "You are shameless, but the Zhao family wants you. If you dare to take a step forward today, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
Zhao Sheng'er's shoulders couldn't stop shaking, and her eyes flashed with hatred as she looked at her, "Bitch, are you really going to take this to the extreme?"
"If I don't do it, wouldn't I be doing you a disservice for calling me a bitch?"
Su Cheng raised the corners of her lips in a perfect arc, and narrowed her almond-shaped eyes. "Since you cherish Zhou Qi so much, then fine, as long as you sign the paper contract, go back and pack your luggage, take your father and get out of the Zhao family, I will let you go today, how about it?"
Zhao Sheng'er froze, her eyes wide in disbelief. "You...so that's what you were planning. No wonder it turned out like this..."
"You're not a complete idiot." Su Cheng blinked at her, like a naive little white flower, but the words he spoke were like a knife, hitting the enemy's vital points. "But what can you do now that you know? The title of Zhao family's daughter and your beloved husband, which one do you choose?"
Zhao Sheng'er seemed to have been struck by a needle. Her body was petrified and her feet felt like they were filled with lead. She stood at the door of the private room, unable to move.
"Sheng'er—" Zhou Qi's face turned pale. He stretched out his hand to her tremblingly and cried softly, "Sheng'er, save me... Your sister has gone crazy. She wants to kill me with a sword!"
"Master Qi..." Zhao Sheng'er opened her pink lips slightly, subconsciously wanting to step forward, but when she saw the long sword across her body, she was still hesitant.
My parents have invested all their efforts in the Zhao family over the years. If my mother knew that I gave up the Zhao family's support for love, she would strangle me to death.
But I finally managed to catch up with Zhou Qi...
"Sheng'er! Are you going to watch your sister destroy me?" Zhou Qi saw that she remained silent, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. His voice became a little higher, "Sheng'er, I will marry you. You are such a good girl. The Zhao family doesn't want you, but I do!"
Zhao Sheng'er's eyes suddenly lit up, tears flickering in them, "Really?"
"Of course!" Zhou Qi was afraid that she wouldn't trust him, so he quickly held up three fingers and swore to the heavens, "If I, Zhou Qi, have done anything to let Zhao Sheng'er down, may the heavens strike me with lightning and I shall die a miserable death!"
Tears rolled down her cheeks, Zhao Sheng'er covered her lips and sobbed softly, and while feeling sad, she did not forget to give Su Cheng a provocative look.
Su Cheng was too lazy to pay attention to her extravagance and asked with a frown, "Are you going to choose or not? I don't have that much free time to watch you guys flirting with each other."
Zhou Qi hurriedly looked towards Zhao Sheng'er, his eyes full of hope.
Zhao Sheng'er calmed down and thought that this one-for-one deal might be a good idea.
She was born in a mediocre family and was not a direct descendant of the Zhao family. Back then, with her mother still around, she could still make some money. But ever since Su Cheng returned to his ancestral home, the first and third wives were all disbanded. Now she is not even considered a lady, and even the maids and old women dare to look at her in a bad light.
But if I marry Zhou Qi, once the old minister dies, I will be the legitimate mother of the Zhou family.
Zhao Sheng'er's expression gradually became firm. Su Cheng noticed the slight change in her expression and gently curled his lips, "Why, have you made up your mind?"
"Isn't it just about leaving the Zhao family?" Zhao Sheng'er looked up at her, a hint of malice flashing in her eyes, "As long as I can be with Master Qi, I would rather give up everything!"
"You're so courageous." Su Cheng found it funny and suppressed the urge to applaud their sincere love. "In that case, Qingshuang, go outside and borrow some paper and pen."
"Yes." Qing Shuang didn't dare to delay and immediately ran downstairs.
His gaze fell on Zhao Sheng'er, who was pretending to be calm, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in Su Cheng's eyes.
It's hard not to suspect that Zhao Sheng'er has a long head just to look taller.
She was only focused on listening to Zhou Qi's vague oath, but she didn't notice that the old Minister Zhou's expression was getting increasingly grumpy.
Zhao Sheng'er didn't even know who had the final say in the Zhou family, but she was already dreaming of becoming the mistress of a mansion.
Qing Shuang returned and walked slowly to her, handing her paper and pen. She was very considerate and said, "Miss Sheng'er, I have the paper and pen. I will help you grind them."
Zhao Sheng'er's face didn't look good. Somehow, a bad premonition lingered in her heart.
"What?" Su Cheng sneered, "Sister, are you reluctant to leave the Zhao family again and want to abandon your lover?"
Hearing this, Zhao Sheng'er no longer hesitated and directly wrote down the family's name. "Bitch, remember this: we left the Zhao family of our own accord, we were not driven out by you."
After she finished speaking, she threw the brush in her hand to the ground, picked up her skirt and ran towards Zhou Qi, and helped him up with great effort.
Su Cheng carefully put away the paper contract, turned around and winked at Zhao Hu who was standing behind her, "Father, you won't think your daughter is arrogant and unreasonable, right?"
Zhao Hu laughed and answered in a voice that everyone could hear, "I am old now. From now on, you will be the only one to take care of the family. Everything in the Zhao family is yours. Outside, you can make all the decisions for me."
Su Cheng was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhao Hu intently.
If she went beyond the head of the family's authority and drove away the eldest wife's family, she would surely be branded as domineering and unruly, and ignorant of etiquette. She threw the words to Zhao Hu to use him to silence the gossips.
She had thought that Zhao Hu would say something in favor of her, but she never thought that he would publicly announce that he was the only heir to the Zhao family.
How real is this drama of deep affection between father and daughter?
