Chapter 173: Nothing will be left of what you have been running for many years
Su Rui was not in a hurry to answer. She just pulled a chair, placed it beside the bed, and sat down. She looked at Liang with her beautiful but now frightening peach blossom eyes.
"How did I come here? Doesn't my aunt know?"
Liang's heart was trembling, but she still pretended to be dumb and said, "I don't know. My heart disease has been coming back frequently recently. I haven't even left this room, let alone going out."
"My aunt has great magical powers and is especially good at killing people without them even noticing. Why would she need to go out herself? She can just sit back in the room and reap the benefits."
Su Rui fiddled with the nails that she had grown over the past few days. Each time she fiddled with them, the sound of them piercing Liang's heart seemed to pierce her heart.
The gentleness she maintained on her face almost broke, and she clutched the quilt tightly to steady herself and said, "Rui'er, what are you talking about? I... really don't understand. Have you heard those rumors outside?"
Su Rui chuckled, leaning forward and approaching Liang. "You think, because there's no evidence to prove you spread the rumor about the calamity star and incited the mob, I can't do anything to you, right?"
"I don't know what you are talking about." Liang avoided looking at Su Rui, but she was thinking that in her heart.
Without solid evidence, even if Su Rui determined that she did it, she couldn't do anything to her.
She is the wife of the Marquis of Yong'an, Su Rui's stepmother and aunt. Even though her reputation as a virtuous stepmother is not as good as before in the eyes of outsiders, she still has some constraints on Su Rui.
Filial piety is the most important thing in the Great Zhao. It would be extremely unfilial for Su Rui to kill her without any evidence. Even if she had Yun Ji to protect her, she would still be condemned by thousands of people.
But just as she was thinking about it, Su Rui had already rushed over quickly, with the dagger in her hand against her heart. The coldness of the tip of the blade made Liang tremble violently through her clothes.
Seeing the cold murderous intent in Su Rui's eyes, Liang was so frightened that she could no longer maintain her mask. She shouted in a distorted voice, "You can't kill me!"
"Why?" As the dagger got closer, Liang already felt the pain.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she trembled, "I am your stepmother and your aunt. If you kill me for no reason, your father will not forgive you, and the world will not tolerate you either."
"Do you think I care?" As she got closer, the snow-white pajamas were already stained with red flowers.
The fear of death made Liang unable to make a sound.
If Su Rui was so angry about that incident that she lost her mind and didn't care about anything, she naturally wouldn't care about filial piety or tolerance, she would just want to kill her.
No!
No! She doesn't want to die!
Just when Liang was determined to fight to the death, the dagger that was stabbed in her heart was suddenly retracted.
Su Rui sat back down, enjoying Liang's bewildered expression and laughing. "You're right, I can't kill you."
Liang really didn't understand why she did this.
Su Rui did not hide it and explained generously: "I am now the concubine of Prince Yong. Killing you with a knife would destroy my future. It is not worth it. Moreover, killing you like this would be too easy for you, Liang Simiao."
"I understand. You want to kill me because you're afraid of me. You're afraid that I might know something, that I might expose you, right?"
Liang did not answer.
Su Rui didn't care either.
"To tell you the truth, I do know."
Liang's eyes widened, but she remained silent.
She doesn't believe it.
Impossible, Su Rui couldn't possibly know that. She couldn't catch Lin Chuan, and he wouldn't betray her.
"It was you who replaced my mother. It was you who deceived the Marquis of Yong'an, making him think that you were the one who saved him and was in love with him. It was also you who framed my mother and left her speechless."
Liang's persistence collapsed.
Su Rui actually knew.
Can……
Liang raised her head and looked at Su Rui again. She had lost her previous mask and her eyes were vicious, without any tenderness at all.
"What evidence do you have?" If she had evidence, she wouldn't be sitting here and telling her this. Liang concluded that she just knew it.
"Don't worry, I'll make Lin Chuan reveal your true colors sooner or later." Su Rui stood up, looking down at the man who had easily toyed with her and her mother in the palm of his hand, and said coldly: "Liang Simiao, wait and see. I will make everything you have now go back to the way it came. Let the world see what's underneath your mask. Nothing you've cultivated for so many years will be left."
She wants to destroy her?
What she wants is for her to live a life worse than death?
no!
Liang struggled to pull Su Rui's hand, but what she faced was the dagger, which pierced her palm.
She screamed in pain, but Su Rui walked out as if she hadn't heard anything, saying, "Aunt, take good care of yourself and don't die. This gift today is just an appetizer for you."
As they stepped out of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, the refugees outside who were watching the supplies being carried into the mansion one by one were already impatient. Seeing that Su Rui and the people he brought with him had retreated, but the door of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion was not closed, the brave ones rushed in with gritted teeth.
Seeing that Su Rui did not stop them, the others got the signal and rushed in like a swarm, fearing that they would miss out if they were slow.
It was even more crowded than Prince Yong's mansion a few days ago.
In an instant, the shouting, cursing, and sounds of smashing and smashing mixed together, sounding particularly pleasant to the ear.
Just as Su Rui was about to get on the carriage, the sound of galloping horses came rushing towards her.
It was Su Ye who rushed back after receiving the news. He watched as the mob continued to rush towards the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, but Su Rui showed no intention of taking action. He immediately asked, "Why didn't you send anyone to help?"
Su Rui ignored him and got into the car.
Su Ye became even angrier and roared, "Su Rui! I know you hate me, but this is your home. How could you bring people to rob your home..."
Before Su Ye could finish his words, he saw Su Rui shooting a crossbow arrow at him.
The arrow passed by his ear and shot off a strand of his hair.
"Watch your mouth! I didn't bring anyone with me, and I didn't see anyone. If you say another word, the next arrow I shoot won't go astray."
Knowing that if he said another word, the lunatic Su Rui would really kill him, Su Ye didn't have the courage to speak again.
Su Rui put away the crossbow and got into the carriage. The carriage passed by Su Ye and he never looked at him again from beginning to end.
If Luo E had not reported that day that Su Ye had brought people with him, she would have aimed the arrow at him.
Su Ye couldn't stop Su Rui, so he could only rush in to help.
But there were too many mobs to drive them out. Among them were family members in disguise who were familiar with the place and quickly emptied the warehouse of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, even taking away their clothes and jewelry.
The first one is the old lady.
I don’t know if it was because the clothes she was wearing were expensive or what, but they kept robbing her. Not only did they strip off her underwear, but some people even got so angry that they didn’t get anything and started to grope her.
The old lady had never suffered such humiliation before, and she fainted from anger.
Until the authorities came and drove away the mob, he was still lying naked on the ground, his wrinkled clothes bringing shame to the whole family.
