Chapter 148: You Can't Force It
Just because he likes her and he has many enemies, she must marry him.
What kind of bullshit is this?
Being coerced to this point, Su Shengsheng's mood could not be described in any words, it could only be said to be extremely terrible.
In the carriage, looking at the depressed and silent Su Shengsheng, Qing Ning said cautiously: "Miss, General Xie is actually quite good..."
The end of her tone lingered on Su Shengsheng's brows, which were furrowed for a moment.
Good?
"How good can a man who visits brothels be?"
She exhaled heavily, as if to spit out all the dissatisfaction in her heart, and then warned Qing Ning solemnly, "Stay away from Mu Ze in the future."
I just completely forgot who rescued me.
Qingning opened her mouth and wanted to explain that she had nothing to do with Mu Ze, but when she saw Su Shengsheng's frown, she finally chose to remain silent.
But Xie Xuan was right in reminding me. There was indeed a culprit that hadn't been caught. Now that I think about it...
Could it be an enemy from Xie Xuan's side?
But how could Xie Xuan's enemies know how he treated her...
Su Shengsheng's thoughts were like a tangled mess, impossible to sort out.
She held her forehead with a headache, trying to make sense of the chaotic situation.
The news of the two people fighting over marriage has spread. If it is not handled properly, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Not to mention Xie Xuan's nonsensical entanglement, even Fourth Sister's current situation...
If she were to be pushed to the forefront again... Fourth Sister would probably be dragged down with her...
Now, there is another enemy hiding in the shadows, adding fuel to the fire...
Su Shengsheng's eyes fell into deep thought.
…
"Didn't I tell you not to be radical? You should take it step by step!" Old General Zhang walked into the study room leisurely.
Look how angry the little girl is, she's shaking!
Xie Xuan glanced at him unhappily and said nothing.
At this time, Mu Ze followed in timidly.
He knew that Xie Xuan was in a bad mood today. Before being kicked out, he quickly said, "General, the secret guards have learned that the Fan family is sending a secret letter to the imperial capital. Should we intercept it?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Xuan tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and a hint of coldness appeared on his face that looked like Shura Yusha.
Seeing this, General Zhang narrowed his eyes.
"I finally understand. You are more like your mother..." General Zhang sighed quietly, "Remember, don't hurt others or yourself. Marriage is something you can't force." After saying that, he waved his hand and turned to leave, "I'm going to pay my respects to your father.
It's a pity that he was only taught how to fight, but ultimately could not replace his parents.
…
On the other side of the study, Su Yuanling sat at the table with a dejected look on her face. "Are you leaving now?"
Su Shengsheng stopped explaining the route and looked at her pale-faced fourth sister. "The situation has changed, so we have to move up the plan."
She originally thought that the situation at home was bad enough, but she didn't expect so many uncontrollable factors to suddenly emerge.
There was also an enemy lurking in the dark that even Xie Xuan was wary of, forcing her to be more cautious and consider sending her fourth sister away first.
"Mr. Bai and I will stay and clean up the mess. Once the situation stabilizes a bit, we will go to Ryukyu to meet you."
Su Shengsheng held her fourth sister's cold hand tightly. "If you haven't made up your mind yet, I've bought a secluded yard where no one will disturb you."
If nothing happens, that's best.
But if something happens...
I’m afraid Fourth Sister can’t bear so much pressure.
Staying away from people can at least block the vicious cycle.
Su Yuanling looked at her dully, her lips moving, "Actually, you can stay. You don't have to accompany me..."
Su Shengsheng sighed softly when she heard this, and held her hand even tighter: "Don't think about others now."
"I can be alone..." Su Yuanling shook her head. "I can't tie you down for life just because you feel guilty about me. That's too unfair to you."
When Su Shengsheng saw her red eyes, she knew that she had not slept all night again. She stood up and hugged her fourth sister in her arms.
"Fourth sister, the reason I chose to go to Tianzhu outside the Great Wall is because there are fewer restrictions on women there. Women can be free to be themselves. Also... I have offended a very powerful enemy, and only by leaving here can I divert their attention."
She was unsure what kind of backup plan Tuoba Ye would make after returning.
But in order to avoid endless trouble, she had no choice but to escape.
Besides... she really didn't want to be dragged into those disputes.
She didn't want to be forced to drag things that didn't belong to this era into this vortex just to protect herself one day.
The communications would be used for military purposes, and she had made a concession...
But... Xie Xuan was right, who would stop suspecting that she was hiding something?
Therefore, she had no choice but to stay away to protect her family from being implicated.
At that time, she will hand over the business to her seventh sister.
Once the gas field is mined, the men in the Su family will be freed from hard labor... By then, she and her fourth sister may be able to return to their homeland.
"Fourth sister just thinks that the prince is really good to you!"
Su Shengsheng couldn't refute it, so she just sighed and said, "He is indeed very good, but in the future he will not have three wives and four concubines, but seven or eight."
She didn't want to delve into the topic further, and simply wiped away the tears on her fourth sister's face. "We women earn our own money, so we just have to follow our hearts. Isn't that wonderful?"
"Listen to your heart..." Su Yuanling repeated in a low voice.
"That's right." Su Shengsheng squatted down, looking at her fourth sister with a determined gaze. "Life is short. After a hundred years, we will all turn to dust. No matter how time passes, we cannot know what will happen after we die. If in these mere fifty years, we can't live according to our own wishes, but only live according to the expectations of others, then won't we become soulless puppets?"
Facing the fourth sister's gradually turning gaze, Su Shengsheng's eyes were full of encouragement, "People should always live for themselves."
Su Yuanling's tears slowly stopped, "Live for yourself..."
"Once you have what you want to do, you don't have to consider others and only need to be responsible for yourself." Su Shengsheng looked at her.
Women should not be treated as property, manipulated and valued at will, used as tools for family continuation, and objectified.
Rather, we should first be treated as equals...
Su Yuanling said softly, "I want to visit the country of Tianzhu, where women are allowed to engage in business, and their king."
Su Shengsheng nodded, "We are not only going to Tianzhu, but also Cheli and Yelang..."
…
In order to send her fourth sister away smoothly, Su Shengsheng decided to act first and report later without discussing it with her family, so as not to alert the enemy.
That day, she and Bai Shuo acted separately, using the pretext of taking inventory of the store to prepare for the future handover.
I’m afraid Seventh Sister won’t be able to take over in a short period of time.
Fortunately, each branch is currently managed by a store manager, so she only needs to set up an independent accounting organization.
However, just as they were taking their own actions and secretly sending people to investigate whether there were any hidden hands following them, an accident still happened.
Seeing Mrs. Bai rushing around without even wiping the sweat off her face, Su Shengsheng's heart sank.
"Shuo'er was taken away by the prince's troops. They said that illegal substances were found among the medicines shipped outside the pass."
Mrs. Bai, who has always been decisive and resolute, seemed helpless this time.
The reason why she came to Su Shengsheng for help was because she had a hunch that this matter was related to Xie Xuan.
