Su Yuxin's scream drew everyone's attention to Su Xuening.
Su Xuening remained expressionless, unmoved by any of Su Yuxin's words.
"Big sister?" Su Feiling looked at Su Xuening in surprise, then said incredulously, "How could it be big sister? Isn't there some misunderstanding?"
Su Yuxin cried her heart out, angrily accusing Su Xuening: "She's the one who ruined me! She knocked me unconscious!"
If she hadn't been knocked unconscious by Su Xuening, then Su Xuening would be the one being humiliated by these beggars right now!
It's all Su Xuening's fault!
Su Feiling deliberately brushed Su Yuxin's hair aside, revealing her neck.
Sure enough, there was a bruise resembling a wooden stick on her fair and delicate skin.
This immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.
"He was really knocked unconscious."
"I never imagined that Miss Su could be so ruthless, even harming her own sister!"
"As expected, the more beautiful a woman is, the more wicked she is!"
Everyone was pointing and whispering about Su Xuening, and even Xuan Yuan Yu frowned and looked at her.
Su Xuening walked step by step to Su Yuxin, looking at her sharply: "You said I knocked you unconscious, then why did I knock you unconscious?"
Su Yuxin felt extremely guilty under Su Xuening's question and hurriedly said, "You...you bribed these beggars to ruin my reputation!"
Su Xuening sneered: "What grudge could I possibly have against you, a concubine's daughter from the second branch of the family, that I, as the legitimate daughter of the first branch, would need to ruin your reputation?"
The phrase "second wife's daughter" instantly humiliated Su Yuxin. She glared at Su Xuening resentfully, but couldn't find any reason to retaliate. In the end, she could only weakly say, "Because you're jealous of me."
"I'm jealous of you?" Su Xuening raised her chin as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, and said disdainfully, "With your looks, is there anything I'd be jealous of?"
Su Yuxin felt as if she had been slapped twice, her face flushed red. Looking at the mocking looks from those around her, she felt even more ashamed and wished she could disappear into the ground.
Seeing Su Yuxin's defeat, Su Feiling pinched her shoulder hard.
Su Yuxin raised her eyes and met the ruthlessness in Su Feiling's eyes. Su Yuxin immediately became energetic again and glared at Su Xuening: "So what if you're the eldest daughter of the main branch? So what if you're as beautiful as an angel? Aren't you still an orphan with no parents? You're just jealous that my father is the Marquis of Yong'an, so you're trying to harm me like this?"
"Marquis of Yong'an?" Su Xuening suddenly laughed out loud, then said sharply, "My father spent his whole life on the battlefield, dying on the battlefield, and earned the title of First-Class Duke. Now you use it to mock me?"
Su Xuening's words reminded everyone present that the former Marquis of Yong'an was the father of this Miss Su, the former General Su Renzhong, not the current Su Renyi.
Using someone's former title to mock them is truly unkind of Miss Su.
Su Yuxin was surprised that Su Xuening would mention her father. She glanced nervously at Su Renyi and saw that his face had darkened.
Su Xuening suddenly turned to Su Renyi: "Did Second Uncle teach the younger sisters from the second branch of the family to mock me like this?"
Su Renyi's face grew even uglier, his eyes blazing with barely suppressed anger: "Ning'er..."
"If my father hadn't sacrificed his life for the country, would my second uncle have been able to inherit my father's title of Marquis of Yong'an?" Su Xuening didn't give Su Renyi a chance to explain.
Su Renyi frowned, staring at Su Xuening with a sinister look.
Su Xuening remained unfazed and continued to ask, "Is Second Uncle now allowing his sisters from the second branch to frame me like this again? Were all your promises to take good care of us siblings for Father a lie?"
Su Renyi gave Su Xuening a deep look before turning to Su Yuxin: "Ning'er would never harm you."
Su Yuxin felt extremely wronged: "Father, it really was her fault. She knocked me unconscious..."
"Enough!" Before Su Yuxin could finish speaking, Su Renyi shouted angrily, "Stop talking!"
Seeing the deep warning in Su Renyi's eyes, Su Yuxin instantly fell silent.
The two actors, in their back-and-forth banter, vividly portrayed Su Yuxin's willingness to compromise and Su Renyi's righteous act of sacrificing his own family.
It was as if Su Xuening really did it. Su Yuxin dared not pursue the matter further because of Su Renyi's authority. Su Renyi, having received the title of Su Renzhong, chose to protect his niece over his biological daughter.
It has to be said that these two acted too well. Since that's the case, Su Xuening really can't let this matter pass by like this.
"Since my third sister insists that I'm the one who harmed her, why don't we ask the perpetrators?"
Su Xuening walked up to the beggars and asked, "Why have you come here today?"
The beggars looked at each other, unsure how to answer.
Su Xuening seemed to know what they were thinking and suddenly raised her voice: "The Third Prince and Commander Su are here. You have violated Commander Su's own daughter. You lied to the Third Prince and Commander Su. What should be the consequences for you?"
These beggars had never seen someone of such high status before, and after being threatened by Su Xuening, they dared not lie anymore.
"Someone gave us money to come to this dilapidated temple and sleep with a woman."
