Chapter 11 Don't Believe Her Lies
“…”
Su Rong's eyes flashed with suspicion: "What do you mean by this?"
Su Ci turned around and leaned back on the recliner.
"Ever since my father sent the message back, you've been back to your parents' home every day. You just want your biological sister to replace me and enter the palace as my concubine. Not only will it revitalize the Su family, but it will also help you raise your head in your husband's family."
The girl spoke charmingly, her pink cheeks supported, her red lips slightly curled, and she raised her chin towards Su Yin, who looked like a fighting cock.
"But Big Sister is a smart person. Don't you understand the character of your biological sister? With her plain appearance and empty brain, do you dare to guarantee that she can defeat those battle-hardened high-ranking concubines and become a helper to the Su family and you?"
"You're so outrageous, little bitch!"
"Su Yin, shut up!"
Su Rong was shocked at Su Ci's understanding of her. She was racking her brains to think of how to deal with it. She was really annoyed with Su Yin who screamed and threw a tantrum at every turn.
Su Yin was furious: "You are my sister! And you let this little bitch insult me!"
Su Ci just watched the show and observed the expression on Su Rong's face.
In her previous life, she played Su Rong's maid Lian'er, so she was familiar with all the scenes involving Su Rong.
Su Yin became the heroine's powerful enemy not by herself, but because she was just a pawn used by the queen.
From the time he entered the palace to the time he was sentenced to death by the emperor, he was still a little concubine who had not lost his virginity. He blamed all his resentment on the heroine and spent all day planning how to hunt down the heroine. He had no time to care about her family.
Su Rong, who had gone to great lengths to send her legitimate sister into the palace instead of her illegitimate sister, ended up with nothing.
Her father and brothers from her natal family blamed her for causing trouble and left her, leaving her alone. She could only suffer in her husband's family, a chaotic place, and regret her past actions every day.
Later, he sent his personal maid Lian'er to inform the heroine who was in the martial arts world, and helped the heroine escape an ambush planned by Su Yin.
It was mentioned in the original novel that the heroine Rong Sheng returned to thank Su Rong and publicly supported her in her husband's family. Su Rong, who had suffered a lot in life, cried heartbrokenly, and the two sisters reconciled since then.
"Su Ci, tell me the truth, what did His Majesty say to you?"
"Big sister, the emperor's heart is hard to predict. Don't worry about whether His Majesty likes me or not."
Su Ci said with a slow smile: "But you know very well that whether I enter the palace or not, as long as my mother-in-law doesn't do anything, my appearance will definitely bring glory to the Su family."
"Oh, and your honor, that's the most important thing, isn't it?"
Although she has now completely changed the direction of the script, I don’t know whether Su Rong will be able to clear her name.
But now Su Rong urgently needs the support of her mother's family, which is undoubtedly a weakness.
"Sister, you believe her lies!"
Su Yin jumped up again: "She has lost her chance to enter the palace now. She is desperate and wants to avoid her mother and cling to the powerful to protect herself. When she gets the upper hand, she will definitely bite our Su family back!"
"Hey, Third Sister, how about I call you stupid?"
Su Ci curled her lips helplessly: "Although I am a concubine's daughter, I have been loved and cared for by my father since I was a child. My two brothers are also very good to me. My biological mother is also in the Su family. Do I really hope that the Su family will fall?"
"You always boast of your knowledge, manners, and noble birth, but don't you understand that a family's success is shared by all?"
"you!"
"Yin'er, shut up!"
Su Rong scolded her sister, narrowed her eyes slightly, and sat down. "Third sister, that sounds nice, but you and us at Shuiyun Pavilion have always been at odds. Do you dare to say that you have never felt resentment?"
"Of course I do. I'm not a saint or a gentleman."
Su Ci smiled and sat up: "But big sister, have you ever thought about where the grudge between us sisters comes from?"
“…”
"If big sister doesn't say it, then I'll say it for you."
Su Ci calmly spread out her hands: "That's the grudge between your mother and my mother, just a dispute between wives and concubines for favor. Which wealthy family doesn't have that?"
"But we are sisters by blood, both with the surname Su. Are we sure we want to ruin our futures for the rest of our lives just because of the grudges of our previous generations?"
"If it were me, would you be willing to fight to the death with my stepmother and stepmother, and live a life of poverty and humiliation? Or would you rather live in peace, relying on the influence of my stepmother's family and the reputation of marrying into an earl's mansion as his stepmother's sister, marry into a high-class family, support each other, revitalize my husband's family and my own family, and live a life of glory and prosperity?"
"elder sister!"
Su Yin looked annoyed: "Don't listen to her nonsense!"
Su Ci ignored her and just looked at Su Rong who was thinking.
"Third sister is still unmarried, so she doesn't understand the hardships that eldest sister has gone through as a married woman. Moreover, eldest sister married into a wealthy family, so she was a step down from the family when she entered the family, and had to give in to everyone. If she no longer has her family to rely on for support, what will her future be like? Eldest sister knows better than me."
Su Rong pondered for a long time and finally spoke.
"How do you want to proceed?"
"elder sister!?"
Su Yin's eyes widened in surprise: "Are you confused? She is Su Ci! She is our enemy! You actually believed her!"
"Zi Ling, take the third girl back to the courtyard."
"Uh, yes..."
"You're really crazy! I'm going to go back and tell my mother you're crazy!"
Su Yin rushed out in a rage, and the room finally became quiet.
Su Ci smiled and went straight to the point without any further ado.
"My third sister looks and behaves very much like my stepmother, so my eldest sister can control them. My demands are not high. I just hope that my stepmother will not interfere in my affairs and treat my aunt well."
Su Rong frowned slightly.
"Is it that simple?"
Su Ci chuckled: "Otherwise, can you convince my stepmother to help me find a good family?"
"…Then what benefits can you give me?"
"I can't explain this in detail right now. It depends on who I marry."
Su Rong's eyes flickered: "His Majesty has allowed you to enter the palace, right?"
Su Ci covered her mouth in surprise, her sparkling eyes blinking charmingly: "Didn't I tell you that the heart of a saint is hard to predict? How would I know?"
“…”
Su Rong stood up, lowered her eyes and stared at her, with a slight smile on her lips.
"From today on, I will ask Mother to treat Aunt Lan and you, my fourth sister, well."
"Then I'd like to thank you, big sister."
…
As Su Rong walked out of the courtyard, Aunt Lan hurried out from behind the curtain.
"Ci'er, you, what are you doing?"
"Auntie, please sit down."
Su Ci held her hand, looking serious: "Mother, no matter how high my marriage is, I can't take you with me. You will have to live in the Su Mansion for the rest of your life. I just want you to live a stable and peaceful life."
Aunt Lan's eyes were red.
"Silly girl, isn't mother fine? The mistress and the eldest daughter treated you like that before. Now you are about to enter the palace. You can obviously stand up and get back the grievances you suffered before, but you reconcile with them for mother's sake. Mother is worried about you..."
“Puff.”
Su Ci laughed and shook her head: "Mother, you should be more careful in the future. Don't believe everything you hear. Eight out of ten of what I said just now were lies."
"ah?"
"What? I'm not a saint or a gentleman. I've watched my mother suffer injustice for more than ten years. If I don't seek redress, wouldn't I be unworthy of being her son?"
Su Ci said with a sneer in her eyes: "Besides, does Mother think that Su Rong really believes everything I say?"
"Supporting each other is fake, using each other is real."
