Chapter 5: One Night of Marriage, a Hundred Days of Grace
Su Zhaoyang is resentful and holds a grudge!
They deliberately emptied out all the decorations and furnishings in Tangli Residence that could be moved away.
Little did he know that this was exactly what Su Tangyu wanted.
Tangliju cannot be moved, and what remains are all designed and built by mother for Su Tangyu.
Su Tangyu had gotten used to living in the nunnery over the years and was not extravagant or boastful. She called the housekeeper and redecorated the place simply.
Immediately afterwards, Song Meifang ordered her maid to send her some dresses and jewelry.
Or too plain!
Or too old-fashioned!
Qinglan was so angry that she stomped her feet and shouted that she was being bullied.
There were also two maids who came with her. They said they were there to serve her, but in fact they were there to monitor Su Tangyu.
Su Tangyu didn't refuse. She kept the plain dress and removed the pearls and gold threads from the old-fashioned one to sell. The two maids were sent out to do chores and run errands. Su Tangyu didn't trust anyone in the Su family.
She only kept Qinglan by her side, holding her hand and whispering softly: "Qinglan, you are the best to me, and I trust you the most."
Just one sentence made Qinglan so happy that she forgot about her real master.
the next day.
After lunch, Su Tangyu strolled to the backyard of the mansion and stood motionless by the lake.
Qinglan and the two maids acting suspiciously behind her thought she was in a daze, but they didn't know that Su Tangyu was looking at something at the bottom of the lake.
After many years, she vaguely remembered where she threw the things.
"Brother, I made this up myself. I'm giving it to you."
"Sister, this is for you."
Two young faces and innocent words flashed through my mind...
"Miss Su, be careful--" Qinglan suddenly exclaimed, rushed over and hugged Su Tangyu.
With a "bang", the stone brushed past Su Tangyu's cheek and fell into the lake.
If Qinglan hadn't rushed over to her in time, the stone would have hit her head, causing a bulge at best and a hole and bleeding at worst. It was really dangerous!
"Bang!" Another stone flew over.
It hit Qinglan's shoulder and she screamed in pain.
A bone-chilling coldness flashed in Su Tangyu's eyes.
She turned her head and saw a chubby, naughty child of eight or nine years old, jumping up and down, pointing at Su Tangyu and cursing, "You damn nun! You stole my sister's yard, I'm going to beat you to death!"
Su Baojun is the youngest son of Su Jian and Song Meifang. He is spoiled and lawless, and is the bully in the family.
He was yelling and was about to pick up stones to throw at people, but the two maids behind him rushed up to stop him.
Su Baojun refused to listen and was not allowed to pick up stones. He was so angry that he jumped up and down, waving his fists like a fat pig and rushed towards Su Tangyu.
"Little bitch! I'll beat you to death!"
Su Tangyu stepped back, seemingly hiding, but in fact, he took advantage of Qinglan's body to cover her and gently raised his leg to trip her in a place where no one could see.
“Crash—”
Su Baojun jumped headfirst into the lake!
"Young Master!!!" Two maids screamed and rushed over. The lake was deep and they were running around in a panic.
Su Tangyu's face was pale, and she looked frightened. She took a moment to calm down before opening her mouth: "Qinglan, go call for help."
Qinglan was reluctant, this damn kid deserved it!
Seeing Su Tangyu's insistence, Qinglan could only mutter: "She's too kind-hearted." But Qinglan turned around and called for help, but the servants and maids saw her and hid away from her, whispering to each other, "She was brought in by a debt collector. Get out of here!"
"Ignore her! The lady will be angry if she finds out."
At this time, Su Tangyu seemed to realize it belatedly and ordered the two maids: "Stop shouting! Qinglan doesn't recognize people. Go and call for help to save your brother."
The maids were so panicked that they turned around and called for help after hearing her words.
Only Su Tangyu was left standing quietly by the lake, watching Su Baojun thrashing around at the bottom of the lake, "Wow... Gulp Gulp Gulp... Help... Gulp Gulp Gulp..."
Su Tangyu remained unmoved, his eyes extremely cold.
Her brother died in the womb and didn't even have the chance to see the world or breathe fresh air.
My little brother was a tiny ball, as pale as paper, buried in the earth...
There was mist in Su Tangyu's eyes.
Seeing Su Baojun gradually become motionless, Su Tangyu felt happy in her heart!
At this moment, Su Zhaoyang's charming voice came from behind: "Sister, my brother the prince and I are here to see you. Sister, what are you doing here...ah! Brother——"
"Help, help—someone, please save my brother!"
A trace of regret flashed in Su Tangyu's eyes.
She hid her expression, turned around, and a white shadow passed by her and jumped into the lake with a splash.
Su Tangyu blinked, and heard Su Zhaoyang's sharper and piercing cry: "Brother Prince——"
Gu Mingyan!
Her fiancé.
Su Tangyu pursed her lips tightly and stared at Gu Mingyan as he fished Su Baojun out of the lake and brought him ashore.
Su Zhaoyang rushed forward crying, "Brother, don't scare me, wuwuwu!"
"Sister Zhaoyang, please move aside." Gu Mingyan's white clothes were soaked. He was quite experienced. He pressed his palm on Su Baojun's chest and forced out the water that had choked on her.
Su Baojun was alive, but she was terrified. She cried a few times and then fainted.
Su Zhaoyang breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, she rushed over with resentment and anger and slapped him, "Su Tangyu, you bitch! It was you who wanted to harm my brother!"
Su Tangyu dodged swiftly.
Su Zhaoyang wanted to fight again, but Gu Mingyan caught up with him and stopped him.
"Sister Zhaoyang, don't get angry and hurt yourself. You've hurt your hand." Gu Mingyan hugged Su Zhaoyang and coaxed her.
He was handsome, and even if he was soaked, it couldn't hide his gentle, humble, and elegant demeanor of a noble family.
However, as gentle as he was to Su Zhaoyang, when he looked up at Su Tangyu, his expression was filled with disgust and rejection. "Su Tangyu, you are so cruel! You are so cruel to a child!"
"I will never marry a vicious woman like you!"
Su Zhaoyang stopped crying immediately and snuggled in Gu Mingyan's arms with ecstasy in her heart.
Su Tangyu glanced at Gu Mingyan's cuffs and the old and worn red rope on his wrist. She felt it was ironic and ridiculous.
But when she heard footsteps behind her, her curved and curled eyelashes trembled, and she lowered her head with a distraught expression.
She looks very sad.
Gu Mingyan felt an inexplicable prick in his heart.
"Miss Su!" Qinglan and two maids finally called the person over.
They ran over and were stunned when they saw the scene. After the maid explained, Gu Mingyan and Su Zhaoyang realized that they had misunderstood.
It was Su Baojun who hit someone first!
As a result, he fell into the lake. Su Tangyu put aside her past grudges and called for people to rescue him.
Su Zhaoyang didn't want to apologize, so he ran away under the pretext of taking Su Baojun to see a doctor.
Gu Mingyan didn't leave. He wiped the water off his face, his handsome face embarrassed and at a loss. After hesitating for a moment, he apologized: "I'm sorry, I apologize to you on behalf of sister Zhaoyang."
"Generation? What is the relationship between the Crown Prince and the Second Sister?"
Su Tangyu raised her head, her almond eyes like a frozen lake, and her red lips parted: "Your Highness just hugged my second sister so tightly, do you want to marry her?"
Gu Mingyan was instantly embarrassed. He couldn't admit it and couldn't ruin Zhaoyang's innocence.
She immediately made an excuse and said, "Don't overthink it! I wronged you. I apologize. I will fulfill the engagement and marry you! I'm going to change my clothes and go see Su Baojun."
Gu Mingyan left after he finished speaking, and his back looked like he was fleeing in panic.
Su Tangyu's eyes trembled, and she asked in a trembling and heartbroken voice, "Qinglan, what should I do? Daddy and Auntie don't welcome me, and my fiancé is holding my sister... What should I do?"
"Miss Su, one night of marriage brings a hundred days of grace. The prince will definitely make the decision for you!"
"Okay, I want to see the Regent."
Su Tangyu was dejected and seemed to be forced to ask the Regent for mercy.
