Chapter 116 It’s time to give her a good beating



"As the eldest daughter of Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion, I have responsibilities that I should shoulder."

"If mother really loves her sister, she should teach her how to be sensible, instead of blindly protecting her and letting her make such a sin!"

Su Jinyue's words were so powerful that Jiang Caiping was speechless and her face changed constantly.

The conversations between the mother and daughter in the yard were heard by the maids and servants outside the yard, and they were heard whispering about it.

"The eldest lady is so strong that she is not even afraid of the lady!" a young maid whispered.

"This young lady seems to have really changed. She is not as cowardly as before."

Jiang Caiping took a deep breath, suppressed the mixed feelings in her heart, and softened her tone: "Jinyue, mother knows that it's not easy for you. Mother shouldn't blame you for what happened this time."

"But you should also think about your mother's difficulties. You don't want to lose your two daughters."

"So after saying all this, mother is going to sacrifice me?" Su Jinyue raised her eyebrows

road.

"Mother, are you trying to force me with these words, asking me to go to the palace and ask the virtuous lady to release my sister and arrest me?"

As soon as she said this, Jiang Caiping's face flushed red. She pointed at Su Jinyue's nose and said angrily, "You...what do you mean by that?"

"It means literally." Su Jinyue said with a cold face: "Mother, don't you understand?"

Jiang Caiping shook her head, as if she was extremely disappointed with Su Jinyue. "Your brother once said that you were untameable. I feel like I owed you that."

"Now it seems that you are indeed not close to us!"

After she finished speaking, Su Jinyue fell silent.

In her previous life, her mother was also one of the people who caused her tragic death. How could she get close to her?

Su Jinyue suddenly curled her lips sarcastically, "If mother doesn't want to raise me, you can send me back to the manor."

"I am your stepmother. If I don't raise you, who will?" Jiang Caiping said angrily, "I just hope you don't forget that your last name is Su!"

Su Jinyue remained silent.

Jiang Caiping said: "I know you blame me and hate me! But you have to believe that I am doing this for the good of you sisters!"

"Mom, don't say anything. Please go back. I'm tired."

After saying this, Su Jinyue turned and walked towards the bedroom.

"Jin Yue!" Jiang Caiping raised her voice, "Zhi Yao is your sister! Do you really not care about sisterhood?!"

Xiaotao turned around and closed the door, blocking out the noise from outside.

In the bedroom.

After Xiaotao brought water to wash her hands, she changed Su Jinyue's clothes and helped her sit on the bed to rest.

"Miss, the madam is here today to call you to task."

Xiao Tao angrily complained on behalf of Su Jinyue: "Why do you have the right to care about the Second Miss's affairs! What does she think of you? She comes when she calls and leaves when she dismisses!"

"Don't be angry." Su Jinyue said, "I don't take it to heart."

"Miss……"

Xiao Tao wanted to comfort Su Jinyue, but she saw Su Jinyue smiled and raised her arm and touched her head, "Silly girl, your lady is best at forbearance. Do you think I don't understand my mother's intentions?"

Xiao Tao blinked, somewhat confused about what Su Jinyue meant.

"Do you think that she asked me to plead for Su Zhiyao just to protect her?"

Xiaotao nodded, then shook her head, looking confused.

"She wants to protect Su Zhiyao and the reputation of the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion. If Su Zhiyao is sent out of the palace and gets a bad reputation, the Xie family can use this opportunity to cancel the engagement."

"Everyone knows that Su Zhiyao has given herself to Xie Qingxu. Xie Qingxu now has the Shangshu's daughter by his side. He took this opportunity to break off the engagement, but his mother is the one who is worried."

"If Su Zhiyao's engagement is broken off, it will be difficult for her to find a good family again."

"As for me, the legitimate daughter?" Su Jinyue snorted, "In mother's eyes, I, the legitimate daughter, am not as good as Xie Qingxu."

"Miss..." Xiao Tao's eyes turned red, she stood up for her young lady, "You were obviously deliberately moved to the manor, and you finally returned to the Marquis' Mansion, but they treated you like this. Xiao Tao feels sorry for you!"

Su Jinyue lowered her eyes slightly to conceal the dark light in her eyes.

Whether it was worth it or not is a matter of the previous life. She gave her all her heart and she will never have any thoughts about this family again in this life.

"Miss..." Xiao Tao called out worriedly.

Su Jinyue waved her hand calmly, "You go out first, I'll take a rest for a while."

"Yes, miss." Xiao Tao responded and walked out.

Su Jinyue was the only one left in the room. She closed her eyes and leaned against the bed to rest.

The next day.

Because Su Jinyue cured the little princess's illness, rewards from the palace flowed into Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion like water.

The eunuch who came was the one whom Concubine Xian could trust.

The eunuch smiled as soon as he saw Su Jinyue, "Miss Su, these are rewards from the Empress. In a few days, His Majesty's rewards will also be delivered."

"His Majesty praised you in front of the virtuous concubine, so we are here to congratulate you first."

Looking at the jewels given as rewards from the palace, Jiang Caiping couldn't feel happy at all.

Su Chengjiang was impatient. When he saw that there was no one following his eunuch, he immediately asked eagerly, "Eunuch! Why is my sister Zhiyao still being kept in the palace by Concubine Xian?"

The eunuch was very smooth, and smiled at Su Chengjiang, "Second Master Su, don't worry. Second Miss Jiang has won the appreciation of the Empress Consort Xian, and will stay in the palace for a few days. After a few days, the Empress will have someone send Second Miss Jiang back safely."

Su Chengjiang was a man who was not very smart. When he heard what his father-in-law said, he not only breathed a sigh of relief, but also glared at Su Jinyue in a domineering manner!

"I told you you were lying to me!"

Su Chengjiang snorted coldly, "I know about my sister's medical skills! Of course, she should stay in the palace and wait for the reward from the Concubine Xian! I shouldn't have listened to your nonsense!"

Su Jingnian heard the twists and turns in the story and frowned.

Jiang Caiping knew that Su Jinyue would not lie. It could only be that Concubine Xian had punished someone too harshly in the palace, and she wanted to heal Su Zhiyao's injuries before sending her out.

Her face was pale, she twisted the handkerchief in her hand and pursed her lips.

Su Jinyue raised her hand to Xiaotao beside her and said, "Thank you, eunuch. This is a token of my love. Please accept it."

Xiao Tao handed over a purse full of silver and bowed to the eunuch from the palace, "Please accept it, eunuch."

The father-in-law accepted it with a smile, "Thank you Miss Su for the reward."

He bowed to Su Chengjiang and said, "Second Master Su, I'm leaving now."

After saying this, he left with the young eunuch behind him.

When the courtyard was completely quiet, Su Jingnian couldn't help but look at Su Jinyue with a gloomy expression, "Zhiyao can't come back, you did it on purpose!"

Su Chengjiang looked at his eldest brother, "Brother, didn't the eunuch just say that my sister was rewarded in the palace?"

"If you really want to reward her, Concubine Xian would not force her to stay in the palace!"

Su Jingnian stared at Su Jinyue with hatred, "It's possible that she punished the person too harshly, and she doesn't want our Ningyuan Marquis Mansion to lose face!"

Su Chengjiang was startled, and then glared at Su Jinyue, "If anything happens to Zhiyao, I will definitely not let you go!"

Now that these cruel words had come out, Su Jinyue just treated him as a joke.

"How old are you? Why are you talking without thinking?"

After Su Jinyue finished speaking, she turned around and left the front yard with Xiaotao and the reward.

"Mother!" Su Chengjiang stamped his feet anxiously, "If you don't take care of her anymore, I don't know how much trouble she will cause!"

Su Jingnian said, "Mother, you must stop being soft-hearted and watch her destroy the foundation of the Marquisate!"

Jiang Caiping sighed and looked at the direction where Su Jinyue left with a deep gaze, as if she had made up her mind, "It's time to give her a good beating."
