Chapter 245 If Su Rui doesn’t die, the entire Yong’an Marquisate will die
Listening to the series of words from Yong'an Hou and looking at the two new and old wounds on his body, Su Ye found it difficult to digest for a moment.
He just came to visit his father, but now his father's life and the life and death of Yong'an Marquis Mansion are all in his hands.
"Ye'er, do you want to watch your father die unjustly and watch the Yong'an Marquis Mansion be destroyed?"
Su Ye shook his head instinctively.
Of course he didn't want his father to die.
The person he admired most since he was a child was his father.
He didn't want the Yong'an Marquis Mansion to be destroyed. Once the Yong'an Marquis Mansion collapsed, even if he was not convicted, he would be exiled. He would no longer be the eldest master of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, but an exiled criminal slave.
But to save his father, the Yong'an Marquisate, and himself, he had to kill Su Rui and the child in her womb.
If it were in the past, Su Ye would have made the choice without hesitation.
But now, he was in a panic and didn't know what to do.
"Yer..."
Before the Marquis of Yong'an could say anything, the jailer who was standing outside looking in came in and whispered anxiously, "My Lord, it's getting late. We can't keep you here any longer."
Seeing Su Ye like this, Yong'an Hou said he was a little uneasy, but he didn't have time to say more. He could only take out the token from his pocket and put it into Su Ye's hand. He looked at him expectantly and said, "Ye'er, you are my only son. You are the one I value most. Now, I will hand over everything to you."
His father's approval was like a heavy hammer, hitting Su Ye's heart. He looked at the token in his hand again, which was the token of the head of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion passed down from generation to generation.
This means handing over the position of head of the family to him.
For more than 20 years, what he has been pursuing is his father's approval.
"Young Master Su, let's go quickly. If we are discovered, it will not be good for any of us." The jailer didn't have time to care about what happened between the father and son. He pushed Su Ye out.
Su Ye was in a daze all the way and didn't even come to his senses after getting on the carriage.
When the carriage reached the gate of Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, he suddenly called for a stop.
He jumped off the carriage. There was no one else in the dark night. There were only two lanterns with the word "Su" written on the lantern paper hanging in front of the marquis's mansion. The dim candlelight illuminated the high-hanging plaque.
Yong'an Marquis Mansion, these four big characters are vigorous and powerful, carrying nearly a hundred years of glory.
Su Ye has been looking at these words since he was a child.
He still remembered that when he was a child, after returning from a banquet, his father and mother held his hand and walked him through the gate into the mansion. He looked up at the plaque, which he could not read yet. His mother pointed to the words on it and taught him one by one. After he finished reading, his father told him to remember these four words, because he would be the one to take charge of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion in the future.
My mother said it was still too early, and my father said that the eldest son must inherit the title, which is already his, and even if my mother gave birth to another son, it would still be his.
At that time, his father and mother were very loving. Although he was still confused and didn't understand many things, he remembered that his father said that these things should have been his.
Until, everything suddenly changed.
His father and mother were no longer in love, his father no longer held his hand, and there was no more love in his eyes when he looked at him.
He was scared.
Until he knew that it was his mother who had deceived his father, he did not think much about it to verify it. He just thought that by learning from his father and hating his mother and sister, he could regain his father's love and recognition.
He followed his father and learned from him, but even though his father treated him better than Su Rui, he still felt uneasy and worried, fearing that if he did not do well in the slightest, his father would abandon him and become like Su Rui.
Moreover, ever since Liang married into the family, everyone inside and outside the family said that as long as Liang gave birth to a boy, he would definitely be the future crown prince.
Everything that my father said belonged to me will become someone else's, and my father's love and recognition will fall on another person, and I will be completely abandoned.
Therefore, he became more aggressive, bullying Su Rui, defending Zhou Yao, trying to please Liang, and trying to stand on the same front with his father.
Over time, instincts and habits are formed.
Even though he later learned that Su Rui was wrongly accused and that Zhou Yao and Liang had deceived him, he still chose to treat Su Rui in that way and even did those foolish things.
If he hadn't learned what Su Rui had endured in those five years, he might not have been able to wake up.
Therefore, even though his father now recognized him and gave him everything, he could not be happy.
Will Su Rui really wrongly accuse her father?
It is true that she returned to Beijing for revenge, but if she just wanted them dead, she wouldn't have gone through so much trouble.
But now, if Su Rui and the child in his belly do not die, the entire Yong'an Marquis Mansion will die, and everything that belongs to him will turn into bubbles.
Holding the patriarch's token tightly in his hand, Su Ye turned and entered the side alley, walked to the door opened by Su Rui, pushed it open, and walked into Chaoyang Courtyard.
…
On May 17th, the sky was covered with dark clouds.
Luo E counted the prepared offerings and turned to Su Rui and said, "Concubine, everything is ready. However, it looks like it's going to rain heavily soon. Why don't we go to the tomb and pay our respects to the Madam at the Yong'an Marquis's ancestral hall instead?"
Su Rui shook her head. "Take the carriage and go back quickly. It's okay."
Knowing that she couldn't persuade her, especially since it was the lady's death anniversary and filial piety came first, Luo E said nothing more and quickly had the things loaded into the car.
Last time when Yun Ji was with her, Luo E was worried but she didn't say anything. Today, Yun Ji was still busy, so Luo E brought Xiao Ru, Rui Rui's mother, two midwives, two doctors, twenty palace soldiers, and secretly Zhui Yue and Wu Yu and a few other secret guards.
Just standing outside the door was a huge group of people.
Luo E did not stop her from going out to pay her respects today, so Su Rui naturally had to be more tactful. She didn't say a word and was helped obediently into the carriage by several people.
Luo'e and Xiaoru got on the carriage at the same time, and the carriage started to move slowly.
To avoid shaking, the speed should not be much faster than walking.
It took nearly an hour to reach the foot of the mountain where Su Rui's mother's grave was.
"Sister Luo, there is someone in front."
Someone outside reminded her. Luo E lifted the carriage curtain and saw who was standing in front of her. With a slightly complicated expression, she turned back to Su Rui and said, "Concubine, it's Young Master Su."
Su Rui's expression remained unchanged.
I'm not surprised that Su Ye appears here, but this day is just chosen very well.
"Don't worry about him."
After receiving Su Ruidu's order, Luo E asked the coachman to continue going up the mountain.
Seeing the carriage coming, Su Ye went forward and wanted to speak, but the coachman was an excellent driver. He turned around and drove straight past him, heading up the mountain.
Su Ye did not choose to chase after and stop it, but seeing that the carriage was not moving fast, he silently chose to follow behind.
"Concubine, he's following us." Xiaoru said while looking out the window.
"Let him."
"But..." Xiaoru wanted to say something, but Luo'e grabbed her back and warned her with her eyes not to say anything more. Xiaoru then pursed her lips and stopped talking.
However, she saw that the concubine's expression didn't change at all, and she didn't look unhappy.
But Xiaoru didn't dare to ask, and the atmosphere was so depressing that they drove all the way to the halfway point of the mountain.
Boom!
There was a loud thunderclap, and the rain that had been held back for a long time seemed to have finally waited for the horn to sound. It fell down like it was free, and it hit the roof of the car with a bang.
"Why didn't you get off earlier or later, but got off now?"
As Xiaoru spoke, she took an umbrella and walked out of the car.
When I opened the car curtain, I saw an umbrella opened outside.
