Chapter 36: False Plea
"That's why my mother is so angry."
Old Madam Su sat upright on the chair, looking at Liu Jinshu with cold eyes.
"This matter is caused by Liu Jinshu's vanity. Not only has it affected your Liu family, but it has also implicated our Marquisate."
"Since she has committed such a serious offense, she will be expelled from the mansion and sent back to Yongzhou. She will never be allowed to set foot in our Dingbei Marquis Mansion again."
Madam Su's cold voice fell, and Liu hurriedly begged, "Madam, how can this be possible? You can't send Jinshu back to Yongzhou."
"She has committed a serious crime now. If she returns to the Liu family, she will definitely be beaten to death by the Liu family. Please, Madam, give Jinshu a chance to live."
"Madam, I won't go back." Liu Jinshu, who was lying on the ground dying, suddenly spoke.
With red eyes, she looked at Madam Su and sobbed, "Madam, you can't drive me away. I am now the woman of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi."
Old Madam Su sat on the chair, tightly gripping her cane, feeling quite dissatisfied with Liu Jinshu.
Liu Jinshu is her granddaughter, so she naturally knows it.
But she didn't expect that Liu Jinshu was actually a fool. He stole the emperor's poem and refused to admit it.
Now he is even hooking up with the King of Qi.
Could it be that Master Xuanming's words were true and she was an unlucky person?
She sat in a chair, shaking with anger.
Her cold gaze swept over Liu and Liu Jinshu one by one, and then she said coldly, "Come here, carry this shameless, ignorant person out of the house!"
"Our Dingbei Marquis Mansion has no room for this giant Buddha!"
"Old lady, you can't treat Jinshu like this." Liu quickly stood up and tried to protect Liu Jinshu, who was dying on the ground.
She looked up at the old lady, her eyes almost pleading.
"Jinshu...Jinshu...she is your dear..."
As soon as she opened her mouth to speak, she met the cold eyes of Mrs. Su and stopped talking instantly.
She forgot that Su Yuheng was still here, and so many servants of the Su family were still here.
Su Yuheng looked at the expressions of Liu and Old Madam Su, and felt only irony in his heart.
It seems that Mrs. Liu and Old Madam Su don’t know yet, but she has known Liu Jinshu’s identity for a long time.
She deliberately asked, "Mother, what did you say?"
"My cousin is my grandmother's relative... What? Why didn't mother tell me?"
Liu quickly shook her head, her whole body wet, and stretched out her hands to protect Liu Jinshu.
As soon as she raised her eyes, she met Su Yuheng's gaze.
"Nothing... nothing."
She looked at Old Madam Su again, then slowly stood up and walked to Old Madam Su.
Then, in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, he said, "If the old lady wants to kick Jinshu out, don't blame her daughter-in-law for making the incident public. If that happens, the entire Marquisate will be doomed."
"You dare!"
Liu said, "Do you think I dare?"
Old Madam Su was so angry at Liu that her whole body was shaking. She sat still in the chair, anger gradually appearing on her face.
She knew Liu's temperament.
Su Yuheng, who was watching the show from the side, felt sarcastic in his heart.
She roughly knew what Liu and Old Madam Su were talking about.
She deliberately walked in front of Madam Su and said, "Grandma, my cousin just came to Yanjing and doesn't know anything. It's normal for her to make mistakes occasionally. Please don't chase her away."
"Heng'er has been with my cousin these past few days and knows her character. She is definitely not like what is said in Yanjing City. I believe in her. I ask Grandma to keep her."
Liu Jinshu was lying on the ground dying. She didn't expect Su Yuheng to plead for her, and even Liu didn't expect it.
Madam Su said coldly, "But she stole the poem and went to the competition, which is a bad character. Fourth girl, you actually pleaded for her."
Su Yuheng said gently, "Grandma, why don't you think about why my cousin wants to take the poem to the competition?"
"Why?" Old Madam Su frowned.
Su Yuheng said, "My cousin simply wanted to win first place in the competition and bring honor to the Liu family and our Dingbei Marquisate. However, she used the wrong method. Her only concern was for the Marquisate."
Liu Jinshu, who was dying on the ground, felt like her tear point was pierced. All the grievances poured out at this moment, and she sobbed and cried.
"Madam, my cousin is right. Jinshu wants to win first place at the Spring Banquet and bring honor to the entire Dingbei Marquisate. Madam, you can't chase me away."
"Grandma." Su Yuheng spoke again, "Please keep my cousin here. Heng'er begs you."
Su Yuheng said this and immediately knelt in front of Old Madam Su.
Old Madam Su had a solemn expression on her face, and she felt a little distressed when she saw Su Yuheng kneeling in front of her.
Doesn’t she know what the significance of Liu Jinshu returning to the Su family is?
One year later, the enlightened monk from Xuanjing Mountain will come down the mountain, and Su Yuheng will be taken away to sacrifice to the entire Dingbei Marquis Mansion, which will cost her life.
Liu Jinshu came back from Yongzhou specifically to replace her.
Now, she actually pleaded for Liu Jinshu.
"Do you really want your cousin to stay?" asked Mrs. Su.
Su Yuheng knelt on the ground, biting her thin lips lightly, and said, "Grandma, please keep my cousin here."
Sitting on the chair, Madam Su thought carefully for a moment, and finally looked at Liu, "If it weren't for Heng'er's plea, Jinshu would have been kicked out of the house today."
"If Liu Jinshu dares to do anything that brings trouble to the Marquis' Mansion again in the future, don't blame me for not considering our friendship with the Liu family and beating her to death with sticks."
After saying this, Mrs. Su stood up from the chair with her crutches.
She looked at Liu and said, "I forgot to tell you that Yanqiu was poisoned at the Spring Banquet and has been in a coma ever since."
"What?" Liu's eyes widened when she heard that.
After she had Liu Jinshu carried back to the wing room, she went back to her Huayuan courtyard to change into clean clothes and went to Qingfengyuan.
In Fangfei Courtyard, the maid Baizhi looked at Su Yuheng who was half lying on the couch, feeling somewhat puzzled.
"Miss, why are you pleading for your cousin? Didn't you see the look in Madam's eyes when she looked at you? She almost wanted to kill you."
Su Yuheng held a round fan in her hand, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she said, "Of course I can't let my cousin go back to Yongzhou. What's more, she is now the woman of the King of Qi, so she can't go back."
Bai Zhi was a little confused, but she knew that the young lady definitely did not mean well.
She said, "Then Miss, do you want Miss Cousin to continue staying in Fangfei Courtyard?"
Su Yuheng nodded, "Well, I have my own plans."
As night fell, Su Yuheng went to Su Yanqiu's Qingfengyuan to visit Su Yanqiu.
Liu was not feeling well, and Liu Jinshu was now dying. She cared more about Liu Jinshu and went to Liu Jinshu's west wing.
Mo Yu had to look after the Su family ancestral hall and handle the tasks assigned by Su Yanqiu.
Qingfeng Courtyard was guarded by Su Yuheng, his maid Ziyuan, and his two maids Bailu and Baizhi.
Su Yanqiu lay drowsily on the couch, unable to open his eyes, and could only hear the noises.
Late at night, Bai Lu secretly brought Qinghe in. As usual, Su Yuheng started by saying some ambiguous words to Su Yanqiu.
Next, Qinghe and Su Yanqiu act as husband and wife.
Su Yanqiu had tasted the girl's body yesterday. He knew how to enjoy it, and his love for Su Yuheng became more and more crazy.
At three o'clock in the morning, after Qinghe left, Su Yuheng followed her and went to Fangfeiyuan.
In the past two days, Madam Su sent many people to seek medical treatment everywhere, and even asked for some miraculous doctors, but there was no news at all.
When the princess heard that Su Yanqiu was poisoned, she gave the elixir left by her ancestors to the King of Qi, who then gave it to Liu.
After Liu gave the medicine to Su Yanqiu, Doctor Liu from the Imperial Hospital diagnosed that Su Yanqiu would wake up in half a month.
Half a month.
Su Yuheng listened to every word that Doctor Liu said and came up with an idea.
In half a month, she might be able to accomplish a lot.
After the imperial physician left, only Su Yuheng, Liu, and Su Yanqiu, who was lying on the couch, were left in the room.
Su Yuheng walked up to Liu and knelt down with a plop.
"Mother, I want to marry Brother Yanqiu. Please agree to my marriage. Heng'er will not marry anyone other than Brother Yanqiu in this life."
