Chapter 132 The Divorced Noblewoman of the Marquis's Mansion—Su Family Parents
Since that day, Su Yaoyao began to take care of her health in a planned way, eating normally, and spending her free time playing the piano, reading, and appreciating flowers, living a carefree and comfortable life.
When Su's mother heard about her daughter's change, she burst into tears.
Ever since her daughter went through that incident, she has started to reject everyone around her, only allowing Guiyun, who has served her since childhood, to be by her side.
Her daughter never stepped out of her own yard, but now she had taken the initiative to go out and admire the flowers in the courtyard. How could Su's mother not be happy!
Su's mother felt guilty. She had chosen this marriage for her daughter. After searching through all the prominent families in the capital, apart from princes and nobles, the most outstanding one was Zhao Fengyin, the heir of the Marquis of Weiwu.
She was excellent, but she was also truly heartless. If she had known this would happen, how could she have been willing to let her daughter, whom she had loved for more than ten years, marry into such a family and suffer like this!
Not only did their daughter suffer, but her husband, Su Heng, a marquis with an official position, was also impeached in court for failing to educate his children.
Although Su Heng tried his best to refute the accusations, the emperor did not punish him for it, but it still left a bad impression.
Not to mention the rejection she faced from the noble ladies of the capital, led by the Empress. The marriage prospects for the unmarried women of the Su family were extremely difficult, and Su's mother regretted it more and more as she thought about it.
Fortunately, my daughter has come to terms with it.
One day, after returning from his shift, Lord Su first went to his study to look at official documents for half an hour. After finishing, it was dinner time, so he went to the main courtyard.
The Su family were founding heroes, and their ancestors were military generals. When it came to Su Heng, he took the path of a civil official because he loved literature from a young age. However, due to his daily exercise, he was tall and strong.
The willow branches swayed gently in the wind, and the setting sun still cast a few afterglows. Su Heng's pace was much slower than usual. He looked at the surrounding scenery, but his thoughts had drifted off somewhere else.
Su Heng's harem was relatively harmonious. He had a wife and a concubine, and the concubine was promoted by his wife from among her servants.
He had five children: the eldest was his legitimate son, the second was his legitimate daughter, the third was his illegitimate son, the fourth was his illegitimate daughter, and the fifth was his legitimate youngest son.
If asked which daughter he loved the most, Su Heng would choose his eldest daughter, Yao Yao, without hesitation.
The eldest son inherited his personality; he was steady from a young age and didn't like to cling to his parents.
The birth of his eldest daughter, Yaoyao, perfectly fulfilled Su Heng's desire to be a father.
The eldest daughter has been a lucky charm since she was little, always sticking to the couple's side, her words as sweet as honey.
Every day when Su Heng returned from his shift, he would see the little figure waiting for him obediently at the door, arms outstretched, sweetly saying, "Daddy, you've worked hard!"
Su Heng still remembers the scene when he first heard those words. He couldn't help but tear up at the time. Fortunately, he hugged his daughter in time to block the servants' view, otherwise the image of the wise and virtuous Marquis would have collapsed.
In Su Heng's eyes, Yaoyao, who had come of age at the age of 14, was perfect. She had a bright and delicate appearance, a gentle and generous personality, and was proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
To put it bluntly, in Su Heng's eyes, even the emperor's son, who is above all others, is not good enough for his daughter, let alone a mere heir of a marquis's mansion!
Everyone says his daughter is wicked, but in Su Heng's heart, his daughter is not wicked enough!
If she were truly malicious, she should have told him what happened. Even if he couldn't kill the adulterous couple, he should at least cripple them. Why did her daughter have to endure all this suffering and be bullied to this state?
Su Heng wasn't worried at all about the fact that the marriages of his illegitimate son and daughter had all been called off by their future in-laws.
It wasn't that he didn't love his illegitimate children, but this matter was also a test. He figured it was better to get rid of relatives who could only share the good times but not the bad.
As soon as Su Heng stepped into the main courtyard, the first thing he heard was that long-lost, melodious laughter. It was the voice of his eldest daughter, Yao Yao. For a moment, he felt as if he had been transported to another world.
"Father is here!" Su Yaoyao was the first to see Su Heng and happily got up to greet him.
"What are you and your mother talking about that makes you so happy, Yaoyao?"
Seeing his daughter, who had been isolated for half a year, reappear happily in front of him, Su Heng was very excited, but on the surface he still maintained the composure of the head of the family.
Compared to her thinness six months ago, the eldest daughter now looks almost the same as before her marriage, or even better, exuding a noble, gentle, yet powerful aura.
That was something he had learned after experiencing major upheavals. Thinking about the suffering his daughter had endured during this time, Su Heng felt increasingly agitated.
Su Daji looked at the original owner's father in front of her. Unlike the handsome middle-aged man with a full head of black hair in her memory, he had strands of white hair at his temples, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes had deepened. His gentle and smiling eyes had become deep.
Then I thought of my mother's worried face when we first met today, and all of this was because of her.
Perhaps it was because the original owner's emotions were too intense, or perhaps it was a kind of kinship that Yao Yao had never experienced before. Unconsciously, two lines of clear tears slowly flowed out.
Even when a beautiful woman cries, she is still beautiful. She cries silently, letting all the bitterness and unspeakable pain she has experienced flow out through her tears.
"Father, I'm so sorry!"
When Su Heng noticed his daughter crying, he felt at a loss. His daughter had rarely cried in front of him since she was little; the few times she did cry were usually just feigned tears. For a moment, Su Heng didn't know how to comfort her and could only awkwardly say:
"Qingqing, don't cry. Father has never blamed you. It was Father's fault. I was blind to have betrothed you to that heartless man!"
Noticing the change in her daughter's mood, Su's mother immediately came out from the inner room, put her arm around her daughter's shoulder, and chimed in to her husband, "Qingqing, it's all your fault for misjudging people!"
Su Heng: "Qingqing, just stay at home and be at ease. If you don't want to get married in the future, your parents will support you for the rest of your life. If you don't want to stay in the capital, wait two years until your brother's position is stable, then your father will retire and return to his hometown, let your brother inherit the Marquis's mansion, and your parents will go to live in Jiangnan with you."
"Yes, yes, let's go live in Jiangnan. Mom will take you to see the place where Mom grew up. The scenery there is beautiful and the climate is pleasant. Qingqing will definitely like it there."
As Su's mother imagined their future life together, she gently wiped away her daughter's tears with a handkerchief, just as she had treated her when she was a child. No matter how old her daughter was, in Su's mother's eyes, she would always be a little child who needed to be pampered.
Daji had never felt such strong family affection. She envied the original owner of the body, who had lived in the boundless love of her parents since childhood. No matter what situation the original owner was in, her parents never blamed her, but instead always thought of her.
From childhood to adulthood, Su Yaoyao had never encountered any setbacks until she met the so-called protagonist, which brought about a dramatic change in her life and also implicated her family who loved her the most.
Now, everyone in the capital is laughing at the Su family. Yaoyao likes Su's parents very much, and she will never allow the people she likes to be bullied. The original owner's world has been turned upside down, so it is up to her, Su Yaoyao, to set things right!
