Chapter 114 Return to the Marquisate
Marquis Yong'an looked down and saw that although it was broken into pieces, he could still see the material.
If it wasn't said that it was sent from Prince Long's Palace, I would have thought it was a defective product taken out of that broken kiln.
This is clearly a deliberate humiliation.
"Where are the people who sent gifts to Prince Long's mansion?" Marquis Yong'an asked the manager of the front yard.
"They left…left." The steward's face was full of embarrassment. He observed the expression of the Marquis of Yong'an and said carefully, "They put the things down and left. They said…they said that this was the betrothal gift that the princess personally chose for the second young lady and that it was most suitable for her."
What best describes Zhou Yao is to say that she is just such a piece of trash.
Not to mention Zhou Yao, even the Marquis of Yong'an felt embarrassed.
He risked his reputation to ask for the title of noble concubine for Zhou Yao, but Changning actually sent these things to him, telling him clearly that his reputation was worthless.
But he could only be angry but not say anything, after all, he had lost his official position.
"It must be because of my sister!" Zhou Yao stamped her feet, tears streaming down her face. "The princess is angry with my sister, and now that she can't take it out on her, she's taking it out on me."
In front of Marquis Yong'an, Zhou Yao couldn't just tear off the mask, otherwise she would scold Su Rui.
It's all because of her that she hurt herself.
They were clearly about to die, yet they were rescued.
Mother said that it was not Marquis Yong'an who saved Su Rui, but Yun Ji.
For such a bitch, Yun Ji even ignored his own nephew, which shows how deeply in love he is. He never mentioned the matter of marrying Tang Yuli. Changning must have been filled with new and old hatreds.
The Yong'an Marquisate is now tied to Su Rui, so Changning humiliates her to vent his anger.
It's already like this now, and it will probably be even worse once she enters Prince Long's palace.
Beneath the fear was more of a sense of resentment. Why could Su Rui be acquitted even after killing the eldest prince, while he had to suffer such a fate just because he made a wrong step?
"It's all my sister's fault!" I couldn't help but complain again.
"Who do you blame?"
Before Marquis Yong'an could comfort Zhou Yao, a voice came from outside the door that made everyone tremble.
Looking up, she saw Su Rui walking in from the gate. She was so frightened that she immediately shrank behind Yong'an Marquis, not daring to look at Su Rui and whispered, "I...I didn't say that."
Marquis Yong'an looked at Su Rui with surprise in his eyes.
"Father, why are you looking at me like that? What? Can't I come in through the front door?"
Father!
These two words shocked everyone.
Ever since Su Rui returned to Shengjing, he has never called Marquis Yong'an "father" once.
Moreover, ever since Chaoyang Courtyard was separated by a wall, Su Rui never entered the Marquis' Mansion except for that one time, and resolutely cut off ties with the Marquis' Mansion.
When he returned home today, he not only walked straight in through the main gate, but also called Marquis Yong'an "father" as soon as he opened his mouth. Is he going back to the Marquis's mansion?
"Of course you can. You can go wherever you want." Yong'an Hou seemed to agree happily, but his shrewd eyes were watching Su Rui's every move, trying to find out his doubts and anxieties from her.
Su Rui seemed to be covered in a layer of fog. Even though the corners of her lips were raised and she looked smiling, her eyes were cold and distant, without any emotion.
"That's good. My daughter was able to survive this ordeal thanks to your father's willingness to die. I was too willful in the past, and I won't do that again."
The words were soft, but Marquis Yong'an felt a chill down his spine.
As expected, she was going to tie him and even the entire Yong'an Marquis Mansion to her.
Her anxiety made him even more anxious.
"It's bad luck in prison. My daughter is going back to the courtyard to take a bath first."
Without saying anything more to Marquis Yong'an, Su Rui bowed and left. She never looked at Zhou Yao from beginning to end, as if she no longer existed in her eyes.
Zhou Yao was completely flustered by her behavior, and rushed all the way to Liang's courtyard after Su Rui left.
Liang had just heard that she had smashed the Cai Li in the front yard and was about to rush over.
When he saw her coming, he scolded her: "How could you know you came to my place after smashing things? I've told you so many times to calm down."
Zhou Yao couldn't breathe, shook her head, and pulled Liang into the house.
"What's wrong with you?" Liang realized that she was wrong. If it was just because of the marriage ceremony, she would only be snorting angrily, and would not be so panicked and scared now.
"Su Rui...Su Rui is back."
"She's released, so she'll naturally come back. What's the big deal?"
Zhou Yao waved her hand, swallowed her saliva, and said slowly: "She came in through the main gate today, and... she even called the Marquis father."
Hearing this, Liang's face suddenly changed. She grabbed Zhou Yao's hand and asked, "She called the Marquis father? Did you hear it correctly?"
"No!" Zhou Yao insisted. "The Marquis has laughed over it more than once. Mother, you said Yun Ji was behind the Marquis's death, but does he really have no intention of saving Su Rui?"
"He was so happy just to call me father, but now I'm being humiliated by Changning. What if I go to Prince Long's mansion and the Marquis favors Su Rui? What if he doesn't care about me?"
The more Zhou Yao talked, the more uncertain and scared she became.
Now she and Su Rui are no longer the same. Su Rui still has Yun Ji to rely on, but she only has Marquis Yong'an.
If Marquis Yong'an also sided with Su Rui because of her surrender, he would be finished.
Even if she didn't want to admit it, Su Rui was more valuable than her now, not to mention she was the legitimate daughter of the emperor.
"I've told you to stay calm. Why are you panicking?" Liang scolded her, but her heart was already in a mess.
She was not worried that Marquis Yong'an would favor Su Rui.
As long as he doesn't know the truth, he will never like his daughter Su Rui.
She was worried about Su Rui.
This girl has become a different person since she came back. She is hard to understand and hard to control.
But she knew that this girl was stubborn in nature, and that was unchanging.
She hated them and resented them, and would never reconcile with them easily. Besides, she was not Zhou Yao. Su Ye was so brainless, and like Yun Ji, it was impossible for him not to know that the suicide remonstration was done by Yun Ji.
She would not let go of her resentment towards Marquis Yong'an because of this.
She must have a purpose for doing this.
Because of his death-defying remonstration, Marquis Yong'an had to pretend to have a deep father-daughter relationship with Su Rui even if he had to in the future.
After too much contact, Su Rui also knew about Lin Chuan's existence. If her goal was to be with her...
What happened more than ten years ago...
It was like a sharp sword hanging over her head, making Liang break out in cold sweat.
no!
She couldn't wait.
While everyone was feeling uneasy, Su Rui was happily humming a little tune as she walked towards Chaoyang Courtyard.
She could imagine how panicked Marquis Yong'an and Liang would be at this moment.
This is exactly the effect we want.
The reason why she and Yun Ji "restored" the father-daughter relationship with Yong'an Marquis was that she and Yun Ji had already stood on the opposite side of the Lin family, but had no cards to fight against them. Although Yong'an Marquis's power was not great, he was a marquis after all, and he had his own abilities after years of ups and downs in officialdom. What's more, he also had a certain reputation in the military camp and could be used for the time being.
Secondly, Liang is still sitting in her mother's position. If they want to drag her to hell, they can only start with Marquis Yong'an.
You have to make her panic and confused so that she will make mistakes in a hurry.
When I pushed open the door of Chaoyang Courtyard, I found that everyone in the courtyard was already waiting there.
