Chapter 34: Three Steps of Counterattack
"Cousin, do you want to listen to what I'm saying?" Su Luo spread her sleeves and waved her round fan, hiding the sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, revealing only a pair of eyes full of provocation.
However, the provocation was subtle and not obvious, and only Li Jiaojiao, who was looking at her, could notice it.
That is an emotion that only women can understand.
Li Jiaojiao pinched her palm, seeming to realize that her tone was not right, and said softly, "How could sister-in-law lose money? Tell me about it, I'll give you some advice!"
"Cousin, is she doing business?" Su Luo had a malicious sneer in her eyes.
"No..." Li Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and smiled, "But even if you haven't eaten pork, you've still seen a pig run—"
Su Luo interrupted with a smile: "What are you talking about? You haven't eaten pork, even if you have seen a pig run, do you know what it tastes like?"
Li Jiaojiao has no business acumen.
Apart from being gentle and understanding, she has no other abilities. Even if she is given a harem, she may not be able to manage it well.
Zhou Yan agreed deeply. Seeing that Li Jiaojiao was still asking questions without knowing the tact, he sighed and said, "How could your cousin's wife cheat me out of money? Her family has plenty of money. You've never seen so much in your life."
He was almost lying to Su Luo! Su Luo lied to him? Su Luo would be interested in his little tricks?
For a moment, he felt that Li Jiaojiao was really from a small town and had never seen the world.
Li Jiaojiao pinched the handkerchief hard!
"It's normal for business to have gains and losses. My cousin said I cheated on him in front of my husband. Isn't that trying to sow discord? If I cheated on him, why would I give him the blacksmith shop before we got married?"
"I don't know how my blacksmith and rouge shop ended up in my cousin's hands. I also want to ask, did my cousin cheat on my husband?"
Su Luoyu's voice was gentle and kind, very innocent and harmless.
When Zhou Yan mentioned this, his heart tightened. He was originally in the wrong. Jiaojiao was really...
Li Jiaojiao was also speechless after hearing the question!
She really brought trouble upon herself today! Why did she have to bring such bad luck upon herself?
Su Luo smiled slightly: "My sister is really nosy... If you don't know, you would think that my cousin is the prince's consort."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yan's throat tightened!
Li Ziyan, who was passing by, did not hear the previous words, but only heard these two sentences from Su Luo, and her expression froze immediately.
She asked why Su Luo was reluctant to spend money on her. Could it be that she was suspicious of the affair between Li Jiaojiao and Zhou Yan?
No matter what, Li Ziyan would never let Li Jiaojiao make trouble in front of Su Luo. She twisted her handkerchief and scolded her, "Jiaojiao! Who allowed you to talk to Luo'er like that? She's your sister-in-law!"
Li Jiaojiao's face flushed red, and she was defeated.
"Jiaojiao, apologize to your sister-in-law." Li Ziyan spoke in a serious tone, leaving no room for Li Jiaojiao.
As a distant relative, Li Jiaojiao had already been treated poorly by everyone in the Marquis's residence. Now, she was being publicly scolded...
Feeling completely humiliated, Li Jiaojiao muttered, shaking with anger: "Why should I apologize to her?"
This little girl is really spoiled by Zhou Yan and has become lawless. She just played tricks on her and now she dares to disobey her. If she is really given a status in the future, it may not be easy for Su Luo to control her.
Do you really think that just because you gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, you can become famous as a mother?
If she hadn't remembered that she was her niece, Li Ziyan would have rushed up and slapped her.
"Because she's your sister-in-law!" Li Ziyan suddenly raised her voice, suppressing Li Jiaojiao. "Isn't that enough?! Jiaojiao! Even if I dote on you, this is the Marquis' Mansion! Your sister-in-law is the future mistress! You can't mess with her!"
Li Jiaojiao's eyes widened in shock and soon burst into tears!
She covered her face and cried bitterly, then turned around and ran away, ignoring Zhou Yandi's shouts behind her!
“Jiaojiao!”
"Stop!" Li Ziyan ordered.
If we catch up with him at this time, all the previous performances will be in vain.
Zhou Yan wanted to rush forward, but his feet seemed to be nailed to the spot by an order, so he had to withdraw his hand stiffly!
Li Jiaojiao ran back to the backyard, threw herself on the bed, and burst into tears, shouting, "Sure enough, their true colors were revealed after the baby was born!"
Outside the door.
Aunt Dan, who had been watching quietly from the side and felt something was wrong, quickly caught up. Listening to the cries, her curiosity was unprecedentedly high!
How interesting!
My cousins, my aunts, and my sisters-in-law all came and made things a mess.
What does "As expected, their true colors are revealed after giving birth" mean? Why does this sound like a condemnation of the in-laws' family?
Could it be that Li Jiaojiao's husband's family is a marquis's mansion?!
Oh my God! Aunt Dan covered her mouth!
Seeing that Aunt Dan had appeared in the yard without her knowing when, Shaoyao immediately leaned over and said, "Don't cry, young lady. Aunt Dan is here to watch the fun."
"How can you talk like that, little girl? Who said I came here to watch the fun?" Aunt Dan waved her handkerchief and laughed, "Go away, go away, keep crying!"
Li Jiaojiao wiped away her tears while crying: "Is she sick?!"
The resentment came like a tide, almost drowning Li Jiaojiao.
The backyard where she lived was very far away from the main hall. It would get damp on rainy days, and the furnishings were extremely simple. It was far less spacious and comfortable than the one where Su Luo lived.
Li Jiaojiao ignored Li Ziyan's warning and looked at the swaddled Nan Jie'er with a hint of heartache: "Don't blame mother, mother is also doing this for our future life to be better."
She found an ointment from the drawer, dipped it in the medicine and applied it on her daughter.
The baby grinned at her.
Half an hour later, her entire arm was covered with red spots.
…
Mr. Su and his wife have been imprisoned.
The compensation has been paid in installments.
Su Luo sat in front of the dressing mirror, gently combing her long hair with a fish-tooth comb, staring at the floor as if in a daze, but actually she was thinking in her heart.
How to bring disgrace to the Marquis's Mansion.
The first step must be to expose the affair between Li Jiaojiao and Zhou Yan.
The second step was to reveal that the twins were the sons of Li Jiaojiao and Zhou Yan.
The third step was to go to the Dali Temple and sue Zhou Yan for marriage fraud, annul the engagement, and obtain the divorce papers.
If she remembered correctly, at this time in her previous life, Li Jiaojiao used the child to frame her in order to win favor.
In that case...
Su Luo was lost in thought when she heard the voices of Aunt Dan and Qingya and Qingxue talking outside the courtyard.
"Oh, I have something to talk to your Crown Prince's Consort about. I'm not a bad person. Why are you staring at me like that?" Aunt Dan held a round fan in her hand, and Qingxue and Qingya knocked on her head.
"Please wait a moment. I will go and report back."
Yun Ran ran in, and Su Luo said, "Let her in."
No one comes to the temple for no reason. This Dan concubine had caused quite a stir in her past life. Su Luo personally brewed tea and poured her a cup:
"Aunt Dan is looking for me, is there something wrong?"
"The Crown Princess is a clever person, and her temperament suits my taste." Aunt Dan sipped her tea, her eyes flicking towards her. She pretended to drink, but in reality, she was carefully observing her expression. "I can't bear to see the Crown Princess deceived, so I want to give you a warning."
"What?" Su Luo was puzzled.
