Chapter 517: The Femme Fatale in the Double Life Story (16)
After burning the note, Su Yu stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look at my sister's courtyard."
At this time, bursts of knocking sounds came from Su Miaoer's yard, and pieces of vase and jade fragments were swept out.
Su Yu glanced at him and then looked away: "Sister is really generous. She even plays with the jade bracelets given by the elders."
Su Miaoer was furious. When she saw Su Yu, she couldn't control her emotions and her face twisted: "Su Yu, you bitch! How dare you come here!"
Su Yu was not angry even though she was scolded. She raised her lips and said, "What's wrong with you, sister? Why are you so magnanimous?"
"You still have the nerve to ask me what's wrong? If it weren't for you today, why would I be grounded and my mother be deprived of the power to manage the family, you bitch!" Su Miaoer was so angry that she wanted to scratch Hua Su Yu's face on the spot.
Su Yu looked aggrieved: "Sister, what do you mean? Why don't I understand?"
As she spoke, she said to the maidservant in Su Miaoer's room, "I think my sister has misunderstood me. You guys go out first. I have something to say to my sister."
The maids looked at each other, asking with their eyes what Su Miaoer meant.
Su Yu: "Sister, let them go. I will explain today's events to you in detail."
Su Miaoer's courtyard was the best located in the marquis's mansion except for the main courtyard. It was large and elegant. At this moment, the lights were turned on and the maids were sent outside. Lan Ying had a cold face and stood guard at the door, not allowing anyone to approach.
About a quarter of an hour later, the door opened from the inside.
Su Yuqian came out with a smile: "I have explained everything to my sister, you can go in and serve, Lan Ying, let's go."
The servants in Su Miaoer's yard were scared and pushed each other, but no one dared to go in. Finally, Su Miaoer's personal maid Cui Liu took the lead and went in to take a look.
Shockingly, Su Miaoer not only did not lose her temper, but was extremely stable. She glanced at her and said, "Go get me a basin of water. I want to wash my face."
The maids were amazed at this scene and admired the Second Young Miss's ability in their hearts.
In fact, Su Yu didn't do anything. She just half-coaxed and half-threatened to say that she had her own difficulties. If she didn't do this, it might be Su Miaoer whose reputation would be ruined in the end. After all, the gold and silver that the maid took were indeed rewarded by Su Miaoer, and today's calculations against Xie Qinglan were indeed ordered by Su Miaoer.
Su Miaoer's mood eased a little, but she still didn't believe it completely.
Su Yu patiently persuaded her: "Sister, this matter has nothing to do with me. If Madam hadn't suddenly sent someone to tell me, I wouldn't have known about this matter at all. How could I frame you and Madam?"
Su Miaoer thought seriously and seemed to be confused.
Su Yu took the opportunity to continue, "Besides, I didn't want to marry Xie Qinglan in the first place, so why bother with this? Now, my father has set the wedding date for the 17th of next month. What do you think I should do?"
"If it weren't for Madam's sudden attack, this wouldn't have happened today."
Su Yu looked worried and swore to the sky, "Sister, please believe me. Nothing happened between me and Xie Qinglan. It was all a misunderstanding on the part of Madam."
After brainwashing her one sentence after another, Su Miaoer was successfully persuaded: "You are right. Xie Qinglan's family is poor. You don't want to marry him and suffer. How can you shoot yourself in the foot?"
"It's all my mother's fault. She did something unnecessary and caused me to be grounded. She also lost her power as the head of the household." Su Miaoer complained.
"Cough cough." Su Yu coughed and covered the corners of her mouth, which were almost unable to hold back the cough, with a handkerchief. He was so gullible, too gullible, so gullible that she was embarrassed to bully fools.
"I guess Madam has her own intentions." Su Yu said pretentiously.
Su Miaoer looked at her like a fool: "You are so stupid."
If Su Yu had not been lucky enough to marry Xie Qinglan in her previous life, she would not have been able to even notice that others were trying to harm her. If she had gone to another inner house, she would have been tortured to death.
Su Yu: “…”
In short, after successfully deceiving Su Miaoer, Su Yu began to eliminate potential clues and threats.
At the same time, he did not forget Xie Qinglan, but that man was too law-abiding and had no other entertainment except reading at home. Occasionally, when he went out and met the woman Su Yu sent to seduce him on the road, he would either look at her straight in the eye or give her a cold look that could freeze people into ice and make them afraid to approach.
Su Yu was almost upset. As the wedding date was approaching, she was so anxious that she couldn't sleep well.
After the birthday banquet, in order to compensate Su Yu for the grievances she had suffered, Marquis Yongchang gave her many rewards and more than doubled her dowry.
A few days later, Xie Qinglan was also granted grace and went to the Marquis's villa, where he and the Marquis's son, who was Su Miaoer's biological brother, received guidance from a great scholar and prepared for the imperial examination.
…
The seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month was the day Su Yu got married.
She was woken up before daybreak, and after all the tossing and turning, most of her sleepiness was gone.
Although the Marquis' Mansion was not as lively as the day of the birthday banquet, there were still quite a few people. However, this had nothing to do with Su Yu who was waiting in the room.
Lan Ying held Su Yu's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, Miss. Lan Ying is with you."
Su Yu was not afraid, but anxious and irritated: "Lan Ying, go outside and see if your sister has come. The time is almost up. If you see her, ask her to come quickly. Tell her that it will be too late or she will have no chance."
Because Su Yu got married, Su Miaoer was released from house arrest for a short period of time, and she came up with a bold idea - to replace one thing with another.
As long as she takes Su Yu's place in the bridal sedan and gets married, Xie Qinglan will have no choice but to recognize her.
However, for some reason today, her mother refused to let her leave no matter what.
"Mom, I want to go see my sister."
The Marquis's wife looked at her coldly: "You bullied her so much in the past, now you are kind enough to go see her, stay with me at ease, and don't think about going anywhere."
The Marquis's wife received a note last night. She didn't know who gave it to her, but the note only told her to keep an eye on her daughter today, to prevent the sedan chair from picking up the wrong bride.
Thinking of Su Miaoer who had been clamoring to marry Xie Qinglan, Madam Hou would rather believe it and tied Su Miaoer tightly to her side.
Su Miaoer frowned and said unwillingly, "Mom, I want to go pee."
Madam Hou said calmly, "The bridal sedan will be here soon, please bear with me for a while."
Until Xie Qinglan came to marry, Su Miaoer had not found a chance to meet Su Yu alone and could only worry.
Su Yu's mind was also blank. When Xie Qinglan held her hand, she shrank back in resistance, but was held forcefully and carried into the bridal sedan.
The sound of suona was played all the way from the marquis's mansion to a small courtyard in the south city.
Both of Xie Qinglan's parents have passed away, and there are only two tablets in the hall. With a voice saying "the auspicious time has arrived", the two began to worship heaven and earth.
Su Yu was holding the red silk in her hands, her fists were clenched until they turned white.
"Don't be afraid." She heard Xie Qinglan whisper to her.
If it weren't for her reputation, Su Yu would have thrown the red silk directly in his face.
Things were set in stone, and Su Yu had no choice but to accept it no matter how angry she was. She even thought that Xie Qinglan would take part in the imperial examination next March, and his father would praise him highly. At worst, after they got married, she would urge him to study hard every day and pass the imperial examination.
