The soft, boneless hands exuded scorching heat, grabbing his collar, and the hot lips pressed against his chest, burning Su Jingming so much that his whole body stiffened.
Taking a deep breath, Su Jingming pulled her away and asked angrily, gritting his teeth: "Su Muyan, look at who I am!"
"Brother..." Su Muyan cried with a trembling voice. The discomfort in her body made her instinctively want to rely on the person closest to her.
"It hurts...Brother..."
"Cousin..." Zhao Ju hurriedly approached, trying to snatch the person away.
Su Jingming raised his foot and kicked Zhao Ju hard in the chest, his eyes full of anger like an angry lion, wanting to kill the culprit with his own hands!
He crossed Su Muyan's hands behind her back to control her and prevent her from doing anything wrong.
He shouted: "You lowly slaves, get out of here!"
A group of servants hurried in trembling with fear. The leading maid whispered, "Young Master."
Su Jingming threw Su Muyan, who was struggling and crying "brother," to her and ordered in a cold voice, "Tie the young lady to the bed. If anyone tells anyone about what happened in the courtyard today, I will pull out their tongue!"
"yes!"
"As you command."
After Su Jingming dealt with Su Muyan, he pulled Zhao Ju into the yard.
"Bang!"
Su Jingming punched Zhao Ju in anger, grabbed his collar and growled, "How dare you! She's your cousin!"
"Bang, bang!" Two more punches.
"You keep saying you love her, is this your love? You forced her to take your Su family's medicine!!!"
"Bang bang bang!" Furious fists rained down on Zhao Ju.
"Insulting her innocence! Forcing her to take medicine! You beast! Die!!"
When Su Cheng arrived at the side courtyard, he saw Su Jingming beating Zhao Ju like crazy. All the servants in the courtyard seemed to be frightened and remained silent.
Su Cheng shouted angrily: "You bunch of idiots! Hurry up and arrest him!"
A group of servants hurried forward to pull Su Jingming.
Su Cheng walked up to Su Jingming, raised his hand and slapped him.
“Bang!”
The burning pain on his cheek seemed to wake Su Jingming up in an instant, and he looked blankly at Su Cheng who had taken action.
"Father..." He called out softly, his eyes bloodshot with anger.
At this time, the anger has disappeared, but the bloodshot has not, and he looks aggrieved and pitiful.
However, Su Cheng had no mercy at all.
Turning his gaze to the unconscious Zhao Ju, Su Cheng ordered: "Take the young master to the guest room and ask a doctor to take a look."
As if worried that something might happen to Zhao Ju in his house, he added, "Hurry up! If you delay and hurt my cousin, I won't forgive you!"
Su Jingming had just seen with his own eyes in the front yard that his father agreed to the marriage between Su Muyan and Zhao Ju. Even Zhao Ju's request to come and visit Muyan was agreed by his father himself.
Looking at his father's expression now, he was obviously angry because he had beaten Zhao Ju.
He wanted to explain the reason, but considering that there were many people in the courtyard and they were talking a lot, he remained silent.
Until Su Cheng said, "Come with me to the study!"
Su Jingming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Following Su Cheng to the study, Su Jingming closed the doors and windows.
Facing his father's angry gaze, Su Jingming hurriedly explained, "Father, Zhao Ju not only locked Mu Yan in her boudoir and committed indecent acts, but also forced her to eat Sai Shenxian! I was so angry that I had to teach him a lesson."
"Mu Yan will marry into the Zhao family sooner or later. Even if you can control her for a while, what good will it do? After she marries into the Zhao family, can you still control her?"
Listening to my father's words which were so cold and devoid of any affection.
Su Jingming wanted to say: Mu Yan is his sister, so of course he has to take care of her!
But he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
He lowered his head, but still felt unwilling: "Father means..."
"Isn't your father's meaning clear enough?" Su Cheng sneered, "If you two weren't truly incompetent, how could things have ended up like this?"
Su Cheng sat down at the table, his tone softening slightly. "No matter what prejudice you may have against the Zhao family, their roots in the capital are quite solid. Their ancestors have been imperial physicians for generations, and they are now highly regarded by the Crown Prince. Our Su family is in a very difficult situation right now, and we need such an in-law."
Listening to his father's tone, Su Jingming knew that he was determined to rely on the Zhao family to seek refuge with the prince in order to survive this crisis.
He understood the truth, but that was his sister. How could he bear to see his own sister being abused by a beast like Zhao Ju!
The two have not yet been married, and they are still in his Su Mansion, in his sister's boudoir.
Zhao Ju did such a thing. If his sister married into the Zhao family in the future, what kind of hardships would she face?
Su Jingming didn't even dare to think deeply about it.
He was unwilling to give up and argued, wanting to save his sister from danger: "But Zhao Ju is not a good match. Not to mention that the Zhao family secretly possesses banned drugs, and now he is even using those drugs on Mu Yan!"
"So what?" Su Cheng glanced at him sharply, "You must understand that in this power center of the capital, your soft-heartedness is the biggest burden."
Perhaps because he saw that he was still indignant, his father softened his tone a little, with a hint of persuasion.
"Jingming, I know you and Mu Yan are close, but can you bear to watch the Su family fall into irreparable ruin? If it really comes to that, what good will Mu Yan have? Although Zhao Ju's actions are a bit absurd, he has Mu Yan in his heart and is willing to make concessions for her step by step. If Mu Yan marries him, she will be able to control him."
A trace of pain flashed in Su Jingming's eyes.
Whether Mu Yan marries Xiao Yunchen or Zhao Ju, for Mu Yan, neither is the one she really wants to marry.
In her father's eyes, Mu Yan is just a useful chess piece on the chessboard. As long as she can play her role, her father doesn't care what the final outcome of this chess piece will be.
Su Jingming suddenly lowered his head and chuckled.
He is just a chess piece. Only by becoming the chess player can he escape from this life of being manipulated by others.
The atmosphere in the study fell into a stalemate silence for a moment.
Su Cheng waved his hand: "Go down and take a look..."
"Father!" Su Jingming suddenly knelt on his knees and kowtowed heavily, as if making his last struggle.
"Please give me one last chance, father. I will definitely find a better marriage partner than the Zhao family."
Su Cheng's expression, which had just relaxed, suddenly turned cold, and he said sarcastically, "Better? Xiao Hou Mansion is already impossible. He has failed twice and is already alert. Who else can you turn to? The Wen family? The Qi family?"
"Son can..."
"Enough!" Su Cheng interrupted him harshly and gave the final notice: "It's settled. The betrothal gifts have been received. The wedding will be held in half a month. As her brother, you should persuade Mu Yan."
Su Jingming's eyes turned completely dejected, and the last glimmer of hope was shattered.
My heart felt like it was flooded and I couldn't breathe.
He lowered his head and whispered, "Yes..."
Su Cheng waved his hand impatiently, "Go ahead and see how Zhao Ju appreciates you. Also, for the beating you gave Zhao Ju today, go and apologize to him in person."
Su Jingming froze, raised his head to meet Su Cheng's cold gaze, and finally lowered his head: "Son, obey your command..."
