Chapter 262 The Regent's Beloved 6
Although the Su family is prosperous now, they were just a poor family more than ten years ago.
The Su family fell into poverty. Su Sheng was arrogant and still unmarried at the age of 24. He was just waiting to marry a girl from a prominent family who could help his career after graduating from high school.
Although Su Sheng's character is not very good, it is undeniable that he is indeed capable. He was the top scorer in the high school entrance examination at the age of 24.
It was during the parade at Su Sheng High School that Cui Wanrong got to know Su Sheng unilaterally, and she also developed a good impression of this young top student!
Little did she know that Su Sheng had already found out everything about her preferences and whereabouts before this.
He had long known that the Cui family had booked a box facing the street, and had heard that the Cui family's only legitimate daughter would come to watch the parade of the newly-minted Jinshi on horseback that day.
Cui Wanrong was a girl at heart, and soon put the momentary excitement behind her. Unexpectedly, for a period of time afterwards, she would run into Su Sheng whenever she went out!
It was also due to these chance encounters that Cui Wanrong fell in love with this man who was eight years older than her, gentle as jade and talented.
When she knew that this man also secretly loved her, she was delighted, thinking that she, like her mother, had met the man who would love her for the rest of her life.
Only after getting married did I find out that although this man did not have a concubine, he had a cousin who was his white moonlight. They were just cousins on the surface, but they had been secretly having an affair for a long time.
No matter how proud Cui Wanrong was, she was just a woman, and in that era when it was common for men to have three wives and four concubines, although she knew that she had been deceived, she could only secretly hate herself for being so blind.
It just so happened that she had just found out that she was pregnant. She just made a big fuss to let the Su family know that she was not someone they could bully, and then she had no choice but to accept the fact that she had been deceived!
Although she continued to live with Su Sheng, she quickly regained her heart and focused on taking care of the baby, thinking only about taking care of the child in the future!
But even so, she still didn't give birth to that baby and had a miscarriage at six months!
However, Su Sheng's cousin gave birth to a concubine's eldest daughter, Su Wan'er, four months later.
Su Wan'er's mother was born weak and sickly. She took medicine all the time before giving birth to her child. After giving birth to Su Wan'er, she took the medicine as food.
Su Wan'er's mother was clearly injured during childbirth, but Su Sheng suspected that Cui Wanrong wanted to harm his white moonlight.
Su Wan'er's mother cried every day, saying that the lady could not tolerate her. Su Sheng did not dare to question Cui Wanrong, so he could only secretly send Su Wan'er's mother to the farm to recuperate.
Su Wan'er's mother was sent to the farm. She was afraid that Su Sheng would be won over by Cui Wanrong when she was away, so she sent people to call Su Sheng over every few days.
More than half a year passed like this, and Su Wan'er's mother's health became worse and worse. She passed away in less than a year!
After Bai Yueguang died, Su Sheng did not reflect on whether it was his lack of restraint that led to Bai Yueguang's early death. Instead, he hated Cui Wanrong.
At that time, he still needed to rely on Cui's power to climb up, so he hid his hatred in his heart and acted like a good husband again.
The time when Su Li came was when the original owner's reputation was completely ruined and the third prince had just broken off the engagement!
At this time, Su Wan'er was enjoying success in both love and career. Relying on her personal charm, she became the beloved of the Regent and enjoyed an unparalleled glory!
Su Li smiled mischievously. Isn't there a saying that goes: The higher you climb, the harder you fall?
I wonder if the heroine will perform better than the original owner after falling from a high place?
--
Su Li followed the angry Cui Wanrong to her Furong Garden. As soon as they entered the yard, Cui Wanrong waved away the servants.
When only the mother and daughter were left, she stretched out her finger and tapped Su Li's forehead forcefully, saying unhappily, "Are you stupid? I've told you countless times not to pay any attention to Wutong Garden when they call you over alone, so why did you still run over there? If I hadn't gotten back in time today, do you think your grandmother would have taken the opportunity to punish you?"
Every time Cui Wanrong spoke, she would poke Su Li's forehead with her finger. The force was so strong that Su Li felt his forehead was turning red.
She quickly admitted her mistake: "Mom, please stop poking me. I know I was wrong. I won't do it again next time!"
Cui Wanrong raised her eyebrows: "Do you dare to do it again?"
Su Li shook his head like a rattle, "No, there won't be a next time! I made a slip of the tongue, I will never go to their place again!"
"That's more like it!"
"Hey, Mom, will you divorce Su Sheng?"
Cui Wanrong disapproved and said, "A-Li, how can you call your father by his first name? If someone hears and spreads it, will you ever get married again?"
My daughter's reputation is already bad enough. If she becomes known for being unfilial, she will never be able to marry into a good family in the future.
Su Li said indifferently: "If I can't get married, then I can't get married. Anyway, I don't plan to get married in the future. It's fine to live alone!"
It’s impossible to ask her to call Su Sheng “dad”, even if it’s a mission!
How could a shameless villain like Su Sheng be worthy of being the father of her little fairy?
When Cui Wanrong heard her daughter say that she didn't want to get married, she thought that she was just saying that out of anger because she was hurt by the Third Prince, so she raised her hand and poked Su Li again.
"Why are you always talking nonsense, kid? How can you not get married? Mother has already made an appointment with your uncle to ask him to keep an eye out for any good young men for you. This time, we won't consider family background, but only character!"
She had a bad eye for men and chose a heartless man for herself. If she hadn't had her family's support, she would have been eaten alive by the Su family!
She originally thought that she had chosen a man with a good family background for her daughter so that he would not be exploited by others and would not even covet her dowry, but she was wrong again.
She no longer dared to believe her own judgment, so she asked her father and brother to keep an eye on Ali. As long as he behaved well and treated Ali well, that would be enough!
Su Li doesn't want to get married!
"Mom, will you divorce Su Sheng?"
"A-Li, why did you suddenly think of asking Mom and your Dad to divorce? Didn't you love your Dad the most in the past?"
That was because the original owner lacked fatherly love. She did not lack fatherly love, which was why she did not like Su Sheng, the treacherous villain.
Su Li thought so in her heart, but she explained proudly: "I was just young and ignorant at that time. Now I understand. He treats mother badly. He is not worthy of such an excellent woman as mother!"
“Puff!”
Cui Wanrong was amused and then sighed. How could she not have thought about divorce?
But the world is always harsher on women than men. Even if she is a daughter of the Cui family, if she divorces, people will still talk about it and it will affect the reputation of her family.
Besides, Ali's reputation is already bad enough. If she has a divorced mother, she really won't be able to marry into a good family.
Cui Wanrong touched Su Li's fair cheek: "Silly girl, your mother is getting divorced, what are you going to do?"
"Even though your grandmother and father don't like you, as long as I divorce him, they will never let me take you away! What will you do then?"
Su Sheng is only in his early forties now. If she divorces him, he will definitely remarry. Then won’t her Ali have to live at the hands of her stepmother?
Su Li blinked his eyes: "Even if they keep me here, they can't bully me. Mother, if you want to divorce, then divorce Su Sheng. Don't worry about me!"
Cui Wanrong caressed Su Li's head lovingly for a few times, feeling both relieved and sad. Her A Li was obviously a kind person, but she was rumored to be a vicious person.
Cui Wanrong felt extremely regretful whenever she thought that her daughter's reputation was ruined because of Su Wan'er, the concubine's daughter.
Her aunt caused her to have a miscarriage and lose her first child. Su Sheng was afraid that she would take revenge, so he protected Aunt Su Wan'er very well!
Before she could do anything, she died of illness.
She was too young at the time, and too naive to think that the hatred between adults should not involve children. Now that Aunt Xue is dead, the grudge will be over!
If she had known that Su Wan'er would cause Ali so much suffering, she would never have let her grow up under her nose!
Su Li chatted with Cui Wanrong for a while, told her in detail what happened at the banquet today, and then returned to the yard where the original owner lived.
…
Time flies quickly and a day is over in a flash.
Su Li practiced all night and successfully entered the third level of Qi Refining with the help of spirit stones. He went to Cui Wanrong in the morning and came back to continue practicing.
The heroine probably needs to lie in bed for ten days or half a day before she can get up and jump around. She can take this time to practice well.
Without strength, there is no sense of security!
