Chapter 547: The Femme Fatale in the Double Life Story (46)
Su Yu got up early and hadn't eaten yet. Xie Qinglan asked someone to serve her food: "Eat first. I'll take you to see your father in the afternoon. I'll let him go after everything is cleared up."
Su Yu nodded silently, looking uninterested.
Xie Qinglan thought about it and decided to tell her something that would make her happy: "Your sister's plot against Princess He'an and the Prince of Xin was exposed, and she was also suspected of colluding with the rebels. She can't escape death."
Su Yu was stunned at first, then shocked, and immediately typed in the system: [The heroine is dead? ]
The system was silent for a moment: [As expected, yes. ]
Su Yu was even more shocked: [Can the heroine die? Can the world consciousness make the heroine die? If the heroine dies, won’t the world collapse? What should I do... Wait, can I go back to the game in advance? ]
Su Yu opened her eyes wide in surprise.
The system rolled its eyes: [Then you can expect to be fined until you go bankrupt. ]
[Yes.] The surprise turned into shock, Su Yu argued, [But I am so wronged, the heroine brought her own death upon herself, it was the hero who exposed the matter, it was Prince Gong's Mansion who wanted to kill her, why was I the one who was fined in the end?]
System: [You don’t want to kill her? ]
Su Yu said as a matter of course: [I think so, but the original owner is just like this character. He wishes Su Miaoer would die tomorrow. It would be the same ending if someone else came.]
[Uh...] The system beeps quietly, [That's not certain.]
At least the male protagonist won’t cooperate like this.
Su Yu: [What did you say? ]
[No, nothing.] The system immediately denied it, and after a while of hesitation, it said, [I'll go back to the quick-play game and ask.]
…
The prison was dark and cold, as if they knew a distinguished person was coming, so they cleaned it up. There was no sticky liquid on the ground, but the bloody smell lingered in the air for a long time.
Su Yu frowned slightly and covered her nose.
The jailer led the way in front and said flatteringly, "Please come this way."
The place where Marquis Yongchang was imprisoned was relatively clean. He sat in a corner sighing. His brocade robe was a little dirty. In just two days, he looked much more haggard.
Hearing the noise, he looked up.
★When he first saw Su Yu, he was stunned for a moment, then he saw Xie Qinglan behind Su Yu, and quickly stood up and ran to the door of the cell: "Your Highness, Your Highness, you are finally here! Please listen to my explanation, I am wronged, I absolutely cannot collude with the traitors, Yu'er, please help your father to say a word."
Su Yu took half a step back and her back bumped into Xie Qinglan's arms.
Looking at the disheveled and anxious person in front of her, Su Yu turned around and glanced at Xie Qinglan, asking him with her eyes why he brought her here.
Xie Qinglan coughed lightly and winked at the jailer.
The jailer held a bunch of keys in his hand and quickly opened the cell door: "My Lord, please forgive me. His Highness has already investigated it clearly. This matter has nothing to do with you."
Xie Qinglan nodded: "Father-in-law has suffered a lot these past two days."
How could Marquis Yongchang dare to argue with Xie Qinglan? He was just arrested and detained for two days for no reason, and it was over with just a word of suffering, which made people feel indignant.
However, Xie Qinglan's next words made Yongchang Hou's heart rise again.
"There is someone else who is colluding with the rebels. You know this person. It is the eldest lady of the mansion, your eldest daughter, Su Miaoer."
Yongchang Hou was shocked: "How could it be?"
Xie Qinglan briefly recounted what happened that year, and then his eyes suddenly became sharp: "It's the father's fault for not educating the child. Moreover, this is a serious crime that will lead to the extermination of the family. If it weren't for my wife, my father-in-law would not be able to escape the blame this time."
In fact, it was not as exaggerated as Xie Qinglan said. The eldest prince was just secretly fanning the flames and did not have direct contact with Su Miaoer. Moreover, at that time, the eldest prince's identity had not been exposed, so he could not be considered to be colluding with the rebels.
How could Marquis Yongchang not understand this, but he could see even more clearly that Xie Qinglan was forcing him to choose between his two daughters.
Finally, Yongchang Marquis gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. This is a serious crime. Although I am Miao'er's father, I will never protect her."
Xie Qinglan's expression was gentle and indifferent, still looking at him, as if he didn't feel it was over yet.
Yongchang Hou made up his mind: "I will sever the father-daughter relationship with her."
Xie Qinglan nodded: "That's great."
Su Yu didn't say a word throughout the whole process, but her eyes were full of surprise, and she was obviously happy to see Su Miaoer's ending.
Seeing this, Xie Qinglan's lips curled up into a faint smile.
Yongchang Marquis glanced at Xie Qinglan, then at Su Yu, gritted his teeth, and said, "Miao'er has been spoiled by her mother. I have been busy with official business these years and neglected the harem. I didn't expect that the lady would discipline the child in this way. She has bad behavior and is not worthy of being the mistress of the Marquis's mansion. After returning home, I will divorce her."
As he spoke, the Marquis of Yongchang cast a loving gaze on Su Yu: "Now that you are marrying His Highness, your status naturally cannot be too low. I will make the decision to promote your aunt as the principal wife. From now on, you are the only legitimate daughter of the Marquis's mansion."
Su Yu should be happy at this time, but looking at the fake and disgusting expression of Yongchang Hou, she couldn't laugh at all.
Su Yu looked away and turned her face towards Xie Qinglan: "It's up to my father to decide."
Xie Qinglan didn't like the way Yongchang Hou acted, but Su Yu was the one who benefited in the end, so he just smiled perfunctorily: "Everything can be decided by my father-in-law."
He lowered his head and asked Su Yu: "But you still feel uncomfortable?"
Su Yu frowned slightly and nodded: "It's so stuffy in here."
"Then let's go out."
Su Yu hummed, and was about to go out with Xie Qinglan, when she suddenly thought of something and asked, "Which cell is Su Miaoer in?"
Xie Qinglan glanced at the jailer.
The jailer immediately replied: "Inside, I'll take you there."
"Um."
Xie Qinglan wanted to accompany Su Yu, but she refused: "I want to go alone."
Xie Qinglan stopped and said, "Okay."
Coincidentally, Su Miaoer's cell was right behind Yongchang Hou, and at this moment, she was looking at Su Yu who was walking towards her with a look of shock and anger.
Seeing Su Miaoer being thrown into the corner with her mouth gagged, Su Yu raised her eyebrows slightly.
The jailer explained: "She kept shouting on the way here, and we had to gag her."
Su Yu nodded: "I understand, you go down first."
The jailer withdrew.
Su Yu stood outside the cell, her slightly pale face turning red as she walked along. She looked at Su Miaoer calmly, and suddenly smiled, gentle and bright: "Did you hear what father said, sister?"
Su Miaoer glared at Su Yu fiercely, but tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably. She was shocked and frightened, obviously she had heard it.
Su Yu knew Su Miao'er best and knew where the knife would hurt the most. She said gently, "From now on, I am the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. When I am listed in the royal family, I will be the prince's consort. How do you feel, sister? You have been tossing and turning yourself into a sinner for so many years. It is really sad."
"Sister, have you ever thought that you would end up like this?"
"Maybe I haven't thought about it, but I have thought about it. I want you to die all the time."
As Su Yu spoke, she watched the anger on Su Miaoer's face grow heavier, and she chuckled with satisfaction, "Sister, go on your journey in peace. Don't worry, after you die, I will order everyone in the mansion not to burn paper for you, which will be considered a fulfillment of our sisterhood for many years."
Su Miaoer was so angry that her eyes were blazing with fire, but her heart was panicking as she spoke.
Su Miaoer never thought that she would die. If... If she had known this would happen, she might as well have married into the Duke of Xin's mansion.
The concubine who was bullied by her in the past has now become the prince's consort, while she has lost even her status as a legitimate daughter. She can only stay in the cell and watch Su Yu, who is dressed in gorgeous clothes and looks at her mocking face.
If I had known this...
Su Miaoer regretted her decision.
