Chapter 224 The woman you deceived and drugged to death
Looking down in disbelief, Su Rui was holding a dagger that she had taken out from somewhere. The blade was completely embedded in his abdomen. Blood was flowing out from the wound, dripping down and hitting the hem of Su Rui's skirt, spreading out into bloodstains.
Marquis Yong'an didn't expect that Su Rui would actually hurt him here.
It was obvious that she could not escape her blood ties no matter what, and she could not kill her father.
Obviously, the woman was still in his hand.
Therefore, Marquis Yong'an was not prepared at all.
At this moment, I reacted and wanted to resist, but I felt powerless all over.
And this weakness was still spreading rapidly. He raised his eyes in astonishment, met Su Rui's cold and indifferent eyes, and asked in horror: "Did you poison the dagger?"
Su Rui did not answer him, but pulled out the dagger neatly, and blood shot out like an arrow, completely staining her skirt red.
"You have a dirty mouth, you are not worthy to talk about my mother."
Yong'an Hou staggered and almost fell. He stared at Su Rui with red eyes and roared, "I am your father. How dare you kill me?"
"I really can't kill you, and I don't even bother to kill you." Su Rui threw away the bloody dagger in his hand and wiped the blood off his hand with a handkerchief in disgust. Facing the look in Yong'an Marquis's eyes that seemed to want to eat him alive, he said without hiding anything: "Letting you die like this is a bargain for you. I want you to live a life worse than death."
Life is worse than death?
The dagger was indeed poisoned!
Yong'an Hou's eyes widened in horror. He reached out and grabbed Su Ruidu's hand, saying anxiously, "Rui'er, you are my daughter. You can't treat me like this. If you poisoned me and someone finds out, it would be tantamount to killing your father. Quick, give me the antidote, give me the antidote."
"No." Su Rui easily pulled her hands away from the weakened Yong'an Marquis's grasp. She coldly looked at the true face of this man who was once so majestic that she had looked up to him, pursued him, and longed for him to look down upon her and show her affection. She sneered, "Su Cheng, you're right. I understand you, so I know what you will do and how you will do it. I have already told His Majesty. Otherwise, do you think you could have carried it out so smoothly with just your limited skills?"
Marquis Yong'an was shocked and looked at Su Rui in disbelief.
He doesn't believe it.
It was indeed easy for him to act at the beginning. Even when the Rongdi attacked at night, Yun Ji still sent him to lead the troops to fight, allowing him to easily retreat to Changdu Pass.
He had doubts, but he never thought that Su Rui would know what he would do and tell Yun Ji. This... is impossible.
A bastard, yet he dares to say he understands him.
"Queen Lin offered you an olive branch, and you were overjoyed to take advantage of it. You repeatedly manipulated and let Rongdi off, prolonging a war that could have been ended long ago, and spreading the movements of the Yunji and Yanzhou armies. You thought it was just for Prince Long and Rongdi, but you didn't realize that Dongyue was also implicated. You can't shake the charge of treason."
It's not that Marquis Yong'an hasn't thought about it, but he obeys the Lin family. Even if he is exposed now, the Lin family and Prince Long have to protect themselves for their own sake. Besides, Yun Ji can't get any evidence.
But now hearing Su Rui say this, my previous guess has been confirmed in the worst way.
Yun Ji has always known about it, and I was jumping back and forth under his nose, and every move I made was in his sight. So the letters I sent out must also be in Yun Ji's hands.
He was being used as bait.
Yun Ji let him go in order to lure out the Lin family and Prince Long, but he didn't expect that they would collude with Dong Yue, which led to him falling into danger.
The Lin family and Prince Long might not be unaware of Yun Ji's actions. In their eyes, he was nothing more than bait and an explanation after his deeds were exposed.
Letting him come here would mean letting him walk into a trap!
"You are selfish and two-faced, yet you are conceited and arrogant, thinking you are a genius. But you are nothing but a fence-sitter. Even your self-proclaimed abilities are only due to the titles bestowed by your ancestors and the connections my mother paved for you with her generous dowry. Otherwise, how could you have served under Prince Long and reaped all those military merits to attribute to yourself?"
The face of Yong'an Hou, whose true identity was exposed, turned red, but his whole body was weak and he could not exert any strength. He could only grit his teeth and stare at Su Rui indignantly, warning her with his eyes to stop talking nonsense.
But now she is no longer the Su Rui of her previous life. She does not need this father, nor is she the same as when she first returned after rebirth. She still needs the identity of the daughter of the Marquis's family and has to humble herself and act.
Now that the disguise has been torn off, I will open up and say everything I want to say in both lives.
"You claim to be deeply affectionate and blame my mother for deceiving you. Have you ever really checked to see if what Liang said is true?"
Marquis Yong'an has not checked.
Because everything Liang said was true, it was natural...
"Even though my mother's face was disfigured, you still married her because the Marquisate no longer lived up to its past glory. You needed the Liang family and her dowry. Your so-called love was just a facade, but you deceived my mother, making her bear children for you and worry about you endlessly. When both the Marquisate and you recovered and Liang appeared, you took advantage of the situation and easily turned my mother's devotion into a deliberate deception."
no!
Not so!
Marquis Yong'an's eyes struggled, unwilling to admit it.
He deeply loved the person who saved him and shared the same feelings as him.
He didn't care about her appearance, it was her! It was Su Rui's mother who deceived him and betrayed his infatuation, so he was like this.
Besides, even if she lied to him, he didn't abandon her.
Su Rui saw through the denial in his eyes and mercilessly continued to expose him: "You've been pretending for so long that you even believe it yourself. You never abandoned my mother, but that's also for your own reputation, for the doubts and guilt in your heart. You don't see her because you're afraid she didn't lie to you and you can't get rid of her. You even continue to rely on her. That's why you don't marry Liang, just to wait for her to run out of energy and become worthless."
"You hate me, not because I was born to the woman who deceived you, but because when you see me, you will think of the woman you deceived and drugged to death. You have something to hide!"
The dark heart beneath his hypocritical mask was completely revealed, and the Marquis of Yong'an was completely enraged and embarrassed. He raised his hand with his last bit of strength and wanted to hit Su Rui.
But the attacking palm was faster than his movement, and he was knocked back a dozen feet away, falling heavily to the ground. The wound was bleeding and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
It's not that there is no rain, but that there are clouds.
He held Su Rui in his arms, looked her up and down worriedly, his eyes fell on the bloodstains on her skirt and asked nervously, "Are you hurt?"
Su Rui shook her head, "It's not my blood."
Yun Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to look at the Marquis of Yong'an, who was lying on the ground, unable to speak. He ordered, "Marquis of Yong'an is injured. Someone, take him to the wounded camp for careful treatment."
