Chapter 78 Humiliation upon returning home, Su Zhirou turns to the dark side!
"That's about it."
After training that day, Qian Yueshu nodded to Wang Lian'er with satisfaction, "Tomorrow, I will arrange for you to work as a tea server in the study. Shen Yan goes there every fifth day of the month, which is your best chance to get close to him."
Wang Lian'er responded softly.
After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "My benefactor, may I... ask a question?"
"explain."
"Why don't you just take his life? With your current wealth, hiring someone to kill him wouldn't be difficult."
Qian Yueshu's eyes suddenly turned cold and sharp: "Death? That's too easy for him."
Her voice carried a murderous intent that seemed to come from hell, “I want him to be utterly disgraced, to become enemies with the Li family, to die with a stigma, and to bring shame upon the entire Zhenguo Marquis’s mansion because of him.”
Wang Lian'er lowered her head silently, sighing inwardly, "Anyone associated with the Zhenguo Marquis's mansion is no good. Otherwise, why would my benefactor hate the eldest son of the Zhenguo Marquis's mansion so much?"
Xie Mansion.
Jinse Courtyard.
Su Zhirou barely slept last night.
So as soon as I got up this morning, I sat in front of the dressing mirror.
She wanted to use makeup to cover up her haggard appearance.
After dressing up.
The maid praised, "Young mistress looks beautiful today."
Su Zhirou's lips curled into a sarcastic smile: "So what if she's beautiful? She still can't compare to the one from Qiushui Pavilion."
The maid comforted her, "Madam is the principal wife, there's no need to compare yourself to her. No matter how favored she is, she's still a concubine who can't be brought into the open."
The comb in Su Zhirou's hand fell to the ground with a "thud".
Actually, she was also a concubine!
However, Su Zhirou was in a good mood today and didn't argue with the maid.
But this joy lasted only a quarter of an hour.
The servant in Xie Jingxing's courtyard sent someone to tell him: "Madam will be returning home a little late today. Young Master has something to attend to and will be back soon."
Su Zhirou's expression remained relatively calm upon hearing this.
Xie Jingxing is a powerful minister, so it's normal for him to be busy.
But soon, she couldn't calm down.
The maid went out for a while and whispered in her ear, "Madam, this morning the young master accompanied Aunt Qiu back to her parents' home first, and then came back to... then accompany you."
She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately told the truth.
Su Zhirou felt a chill rise from the soles of her feet and instantly spread to her limbs and bones.
hehe.
Xie Jingxing is truly commendable.
I've only been married for three days, and I haven't even slept at her place yet, so that's understandable.
Now they're not even giving themselves one last chance.
Su Zhirou felt a deep sense of betrayal.
Xie Jingxing not only slept at Qian Yueqiu's place for three consecutive nights, but today he also accompanied that lowly Qian Yueqiu on her homecoming visit!
She was so angry she almost fainted.
What does Xie Jingxing mean by this?
He clearly said he would accompany me back to my parents' home today, and it was he who suggested it.
If you don't plan to be with her, then don't give yourself any hope!
Su Zhirou gripped her clothes tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms: "Since Xie Jingxing is going to do the first thing, then I'll do the fifteenth."
The sixth prince has returned to the capital.
She took the opportunity of returning to her parents' home to meet the Sixth Prince.
Or perhaps it's a way to relieve the pain of unrequited love.
Anyway, Xie Jingxing doesn't care about her, but plenty of other men do!
So she sent her maid to inform the Sixth Prince that they would meet in a private room at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.
"Go prepare the carriage." Su Zhirou stood up, her voice as cold as ice. "I'll go back to my parents' home alone."
The maid hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
Actually, she felt that even if it was later in the evening...
With Xie Jingxing accompanying me, it's better than going back to the Su residence alone!
But she saw that Su Zhirou was so angry that she couldn't think straight.
In the end, he answered yes.
As the carriage drove out of the Xie residence, Su Zhirou lifted the curtain and gazed at the street scene in a daze.
The Su residence.
Today is the day my daughter returns to her parents' home after three days.
Su's father was originally full of expectations.
He rushed home as soon as the morning court session ended and ordered the kitchen to prepare a large table of dishes.
He wants to have a good drink with his son-in-law today.
Xie Jingxing was a powerful minister.
Anyone who can be associated with him will be looked up to by all the officials in the court!
Even when they were engaged, Xie Jingxing was the daughter of a merchant, which caused the Su family to lose face.
But none of that mattered to Su's father.
Which man hasn't had a few romantic escapades?
He believed that once his daughter slept with Xie Jingxing, she would be able to win him over.
But what I didn't expect was...
But only his daughter, Su Zhirou, returned.
Father Su's face immediately fell, and he launched into a tirade against Su Zhirou: "You have truly disgraced our Su family. You are supposed to be a noble lady who is skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, yet you cannot even compare to a merchant's daughter."
Su Zhirou bit her lip, unsure how to explain.
"Father, Jingxing, he..."
"Enough!" Su's father interrupted her.
Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he left Su Zhirou alone in the living room and said, "Since Xie Jingxing hasn't returned, I won't keep you for dinner. You should go back to the Xie residence as soon as possible and spend more time on men, lest our entire Su family become a laughing stock!"
Su Zhirou's face turned deathly pale.
It was because Xie Jingxing didn't accompany her on her homecoming visit.
She doesn't even have the right to have a meal at the Su residence anymore!
She thought she still held some place in her father's heart.
Even if he's unhappy at this point, he'll still comfort himself with a few words.
It seems so.
She overestimated herself after all!
She receives this kind of treatment even in her own family home.
Su Zhirou really didn't know what she would face in the Xie family in the future.
She scoffed.
Not to mention the masters of the Xie family.
Perhaps even the servants of the Xie family could climb over her...
Drunken Immortal Pavilion.
He was unhappy in both the Xie and Su residences.
Su Zhirou arrived at the private room she had arranged to meet with the Sixth Prince.
She thought that the Sixth Prince was probably her last comfort and warmth!
In a private room on the second floor.
The sixth prince had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Su Zhirou enter, his eyes were filled with affection: "Rou'er, you've come."
"Your Highness, I've kept you waiting." Su Zhirou curtsied and sat down opposite him.
"You've lost weight," the Sixth Prince sighed. "Are you having a hard time at the Xie family?"
Su Zhi lowered her eyes, suppressing the bitterness in her heart: "Your Highness, it is my incompetence."
Then she told the Sixth Prince all the grievances she had recently suffered.
She originally thought that even if the Sixth Prince didn't hold her in his arms and comfort her, he would at least say a few words of comfort, or that he would feel extremely sorry for her.
To everyone's surprise, upon hearing everything she said, the Sixth Prince only murmured, "How could this be... how could this be? You look so much like that person, he should like you!"
Bang!
Su Zhirou felt her heart break after hearing the Sixth Prince's words.
It turns out he already knew Xie Jingxing liked Liu Yu.
She seemed to be nothing more than a tool in the hands of the Sixth Prince, not the one he loved!
The sixth prince belatedly realized he had said the wrong thing and tried to grab Su Zhirou's hand to explain...
But she ruthlessly shook him off.
Su Zhirou wasn't stupid; she quickly went through everything in her mind.
She was surprised to discover that the Sixth Prince had set a trap, just waiting for her to walk into it.
In the name of love, they commit despicable acts!
With tears streaming down her face, Su Zhirou rushed down from Zuixianlou.
It seems like she was betrayed three times today.
Xie Jingxing was clearly the cause of these three events.
But he hurt her the least, since she married him with ulterior motives.
But Su's father and the sixth prince.
Each one was more disheartening than the last!
The carriage headed towards the Xie residence. Leaning against the carriage wall, she felt utterly exhausted.
Su Zhirou gazed out the window at the bustling traffic.
She secretly vowed, "Since you have all betrayed me, then don't blame me for taking revenge on you. Sixth Prince, Father Su, Xie Jingxing and Qian Yueqiu... none of you will escape!"
