Jiang Caiping's voice also rang out, "But you can't agree to it. For thirty-six sets of dowry, let Zhiyao marry as a concubine!"

Su Jinyue walked into the room and saw Su Zhiyao crying with her face covered.

She didn't even look at him, but bowed respectfully, "Grandma, you're looking for me?"

The expression on Old Lady Su's face was uncertain, "Jin Yue, you are wrong this time. You can only slap your own sister in the face."

Liu immediately interrupted, "Jinyue, you really helped us a lot this time. As for Zhiyao's problem, you can't blame us!"

"Even if the dowry is 180 sets, will the Xie family allow Zhiyao to enter the house through the main gate?"

Liu looked at Jiang Caiping and said, "At the beginning, we asked for an imperial decree to let Zhiyao marry him as a co-wife. Although she was a co-wife, everyone knew that she was a concubine!"

"Now the Xie family is going to marry the Shangshu family's darling, and Chu Ling is not someone who is easy to get along with! If our Marquis's family really takes the 180 sets of dowry, we will lose both the people and the money!"

Su Zhiyao twisted the handkerchief in her hand fiercely. If she just married into the family like this, she would probably be stepped on by Chu Ling for the rest of her life!

She absolutely couldn't let this happen! She, Su Zhiyao, was a phoenix that was going to fly to the sky!

Su Zhiyao secretly glared at Su Jinyue fiercely. It was because of this bitch who took away the glory that belonged to her that things had come to this point!

At this time, an urgent voice came, it was Su Chengjiang who rushed in, "He, the Xie family, dared to let Zhiyao be a concubine. I will go to the Xie family and kill him, Xie Qingxu, with a knife!"

Jiang Caiping immediately frowned, "Cheng Jiang! This is your sister's wedding, you can't mess around here!"

Su Jingnian walked into the hall with an ugly look on his face, "Mother, are you going to give up your sister's dignity just because of this?!"

Seeing her two brothers coming, Su Zhiyao cried even more pitifully.

Su Chengjiang pointed at Su Jinyue and said, "You just don't want Zhiyao to be well! That's why you came up with this idea, right!"

Su Jinyue sighed slightly, "This is also for the sake of our Marquis' Mansion, so don't get excited, second brother."

Su Chengjiang was relentless, "For the sake of the Marquis' Mansion? I think you are deliberately seeking revenge on Zhiyao!"

Jiang Caiping scolded Su Chengjiang coldly, "Shut up!"

"Mom..." Su Chengjiang opened his mouth to refute, but Su Jinyue spoke first.

"Grandma, I have given all the things in my storehouse to my aunt. Today, I am accompanying my aunt to the Xie Mansion to seek justice."

Su Jinyue raised her hands to cover her face, looking aggrieved, "But today, Second Brother is here to slander me, saying that I am seeking revenge against Su Zhiyao!"

"If I really wanted revenge, why would I go to Xie's house and cause myself all this trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Su nodded, "Indeed."

Su Chengjiang blushed when he heard this!

He also felt that he had wronged Su Jinyue, but when he thought of Su Zhiyao, Su Chengjiang still spoke stiffly.

"You did it on purpose after all! Can you be so kind?!"

Su Jinyue shook her head helplessly, "Since Second Brother insists that I am wrong, I will not make any excuses."

Old Lady Su was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke, "Don't mention this matter anymore. Jin Yue meant well. This is the fault of the Xie family! How can you blame Jin Yue?"

"You all go back first, this matter has been settled first!"

Su Jingnian couldn't believe it, "Grandma!"

Old Lady Su frowned, "Didn't you hear what I said?"

"Yes." Su Jingnian didn't dare to say anything else. He could only wink at Su Zhiyao and turn around to lead them out.

Old Lady Su said to Su Jinyue, "You are tired too, go back and rest early."

"Yes, Grandmother."

Su Jinyue bowed and left.

After Su Jinyue left, Su Chengjiang couldn't help but ask, "Mother, are we going to let the Xie family's affairs go?"

Liu glanced at Jiang Caiping and said sarcastically, "If you ask me, you are not as clear-headed as Su Jinyue right now."

"With Zhiyao's current reputation, even if she really married into the Xie Mansion as a concubine, it would be considered good."

"She has caused trouble time and again, and each time it was Jin Yue who gained face in front of the Yellow Emperor. Now Jin Yue is a princess, and your daughter is on the rise, why don't you hurry up and praise her? You still have time to care about your adopted daughter!"

Old Lady Su waved her hand, "Forget it, I'm tired, you go back first."

The old lady's words blocked Jiang Caiping's next words. She could only stand up silently, bow and leave the front hall.

In Su Zhiyao's yard.

She was in the room, leaning on Su Jingnian's shoulder and crying pitifully, "Brother, this is my fate now, I might as well jump into the river and die!"

Su Jingnian stroked her back to comfort her, and said in a serious tone, "Silly girl, how can you be blamed for this! You have a good life!"

"But I... I might as well die now!"

Su Zhiyao burst into tears and looked up at Su Jingnian, "Brother, if I marry into the Xie Mansion as a concubine, will our mansion still be able to hold our heads up high?"

It was already evening. Under the dim candlelight, Su Jingnian looked at Su Zhiyao's pitiful crying face and for a moment he couldn't control his emotions.

He raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Su Zhiyao's cheek. He couldn't help but stroke Su Zhiyao's face, "Don't worry, big brother won't let you lose face!"

His deep and pleasant voice sounded slowly, like the night breeze blowing through Su Zhiyao's heart, blowing away the last trace of haze in her heart.

Her breathing became heavier, and as her mind turned, an idea came to her mind.

If she could marry the eldest brother, he would definitely make her his legal wife, and she would still be able to stay in the Marquis' Mansion legitimately!

The plan came to her mind, Su Zhiyao felt her body getting hot, and her eyes became hazy when she looked at Su Jingnian.

"Zhiyao doesn't deserve big brother to be so good to her!" Su Zhiyao hugged Su Jingnian and started crying.

With the warm and soft beauty in his arms, Su Jingnian's body responded and his breathing became heavier.

"You are my sister, how can I not spoil you?"

“Brother…”

Su Zhiyao looked up at Su Jingnian, her cheeks flushed.

Su Jingnian seemed to be shocked. He tightened his grip on Su Zhiyao's waist and shortened the distance between them.

"Brother!" Su Zhiyao was like a frightened rabbit. She raised her hand and gently pushed the person in front of her, but she couldn't push him away!

Su Jingnian looked at Su Zhiyao lovingly, "Yao'er, do you really not like big brother?"

Su Zhiyao was too shy to look in Su Jingnian's direction, "But you are my brother..."

"But you and I are not related by blood!" Su Jingnian's hands were burning hot, and he stared at Su Zhiyao with scorching eyes, "Yao'er, big brother will never let you down!"

After saying that, he leaned over and hugged Su Zhiyao even tighter!

Su Zhiyao's struggling movements slowly stopped, and she allowed Su Jingnian to hold her.

She lowered her eyes to hide the fleeting smile!

Su Jingnian really took the bait!

Su Zhiyao was picked up and put on the bed. She stepped back shyly.

She had just taken half a step back when Su Jingnian pulled her into his arms!

Su Zhiyao screamed softly, "Brother!"
