As the copper basin fell, the carpet was soaked black. A portion of the cold water splashed out, and by the time it landed on the ground, it was already far away.
Su Lihua was so angry that the veins on her head were throbbing.
"You're so eloquent at such a young age! He didn't look like a legitimate son at all! You, as the Di daughter of the Minister's Estate, are naturally vicious! If you don't discipline your servants properly, even if your servants fight with your grandmother, it's really detestable!”Su Lihua shouted angrily. Coupled with his cold tone, it was extremely dignified. If the person in front of him was not Su Xinyan, she would definitely be so frightened by his scolding that two lines of tears would flow down her face.
Su Xinyan looked at her father indifferently. She actually felt that he was extremely unfamiliar. However, she was also very glad. She was glad that she had already felt unfamiliar with her father.
"From Father's words, it seems that the child in Aunt Liu's womb cannot be saved. Then, his father rushed over in a hurry. He must have come to denounce him. So? How is Father preparing?" Su Xin Yan spoke in silence.
Su Li Hua did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt that he saw the mockery on Su Xin Yan's lips and became inexplicably annoyed.
"Yes, sir! The child in your mother's stomach is indeed dead! I lost a child, why are you so happy! Don't forget, you are also my child. If I treat you like you are nothing, do you think you can survive in the Minister's manor, in the upper class, in the capital? Or do you think you can go against me just because you have a powerful mother?”Su Lihua was even more displeased. She wished she could walk over and slap Su Xinyan a few times to vent her anger!
If it wasn't for the fact that he still had his remaining rationality, he would have lost his composure now.
"I've never thought of it this way. If Father thinks this way, I have nothing to say.”Su Xinyan was indifferent.
"Butler!" Su Lihua shouted, and the butler behind her quickly responded. He then continued," Take this unfilial daughter to the ancestral hall! Let her reflect on her ancestors! Go now! After kneeling for three days, he would start to deliver food to her tomorrow.”
"Ah?" The butler suddenly raised his head with a blank expression. He thought that kneeling in the ancestral hall was fine, but the one behind was a little mean. One had to know that these young ladies had been pampered since they were young. How could their bodies withstand not eating for a day?
Three days? Su Xinyan endured the pain on her face and narrowed her eyes. She did not beg for mercy as Su Lihua had imagined.
Su Lihua didn't find it strange that she didn't beg for mercy. This daughter of hers was just so stubborn! Did she think that he would not dare to touch her just because of her status? Su Lihua snorted coldly." You're my son! If you want to beat me or scold me, it's up to me! Otherwise, it would be treason! In the entire Dong Chen, which family could tolerate an unfilial person? Punishing you is for your own good!"
"Father is mighty." Su Xin Yan sighed in a neutral manner. Then, she said in an indifferent tone,"If I really rejected the child in Aunt Liu's womb, I'm willing to be punished. But today's matter wasn't my fault.”
"Do you mean that Old Furen and the people in her courtyard have wronged you? When the time comes, tell me why they wronged you.”Su Lihua shook his head and looked at Su Xinyan with a mocking gaze. In his opinion, this daughter who did not tell the truth was simply a useless person!
If she was smart, she would have said nice words to admit that she was wrong, and then sincerely apologize to Aunt Liu and the Old Furen. After being punished, she would still be the Eldest Miss that everyone in the Minister's Estate should respect. However, her actions were simply asking for trouble.
Su Xinyan withdrew her hand from Qing He's hand and took a step forward. She moved her twisted right foot forward with some difficulty." If you want to punish someone, why do you have no excuse?”She was talking about how Aunt Liu had heartlessly "killed" her own child to frame her.
Su Lihua took two big steps forward and suddenly raised his hand to grab Su Xinyan's chin, forcing her to look up at him. When he saw the disbelief that flashed in Su Xinyan's eyes, he suddenly curled his lips and revealed a cold smile that was as if he had fallen into an ice cellar in the twelfth lunar month." Are you saying that the matter of your servant girl hitting the Old Madam was fabricated by the Old Madam?”
Su Xinyan's face was in pain from being scratched by him. Coupled with the pain from being slapped by the old madam, she almost could not help but cry.
The butler almost couldn't hold back the urge to rush up and stop Su Lihua. However, if he went over now, he might run into the young miss or anger Su Lihua, causing him to have a groundless reputation. Therefore, he still stood there and looked down at his shoes.
Jiu Yun used an extremely cold voice to speak," Old Master, men and women should guard against each other!”If she was not worried about causing trouble for Su Xin Yan, she would have attacked earlier.
"Humph! It's not up to a little servant girl like you to teach me a lesson!”Su Lihua said angrily. In her eyes, the few maids beside Su Xinyan were given to her by the Empress. She could not touch them, but it was not that she could not scold them!
Nine Clouds glared at him fiercely, not caring. However, she didn't do anything. She didn't do anything just now. Now, she should endure it all the more and not ruin things.
However, Su Lihua also knew that he shouldn't have done this. Even if he disliked his daughter, he shouldn't have done something that would make people poke at his spine. So, he let go.
However, just as he let go, Su Xinyan almost lost her balance. Fortunately, Nine Heavens, who had been watching her, quickly caught her. Nine Clouds also had a look of wanting to support him. In the end, he was a step too slow.
Su Li Hua had already turned around with his back facing Su Xin Yan. He no longer looked at the daughter he hated. He kowtowed with regret for losing Madam Liu's child.
It was a fact that the child was gone, a fact that could not be changed. It was also a fact that the servant girl that the Empress had given to Su Xinyan had beaten the old madam. There was a red spot on the old madam's face. The red spot was not very obvious, but with the appearance of this red spot, the old madam's dignity was somewhat reduced.
"Butler!" Su Lihua shouted with her eyes closed.
The butler took a deep breath and finally raised his head. What he saw was Eldest Miss Su Xinyan being supported by a servant girl. He looked like a weak willow facing the wind, but he tried his best to act normal. However, the butler was still the butler. He had a pair of sharp eyes and could easily see through him.
The butler was hesitating and was about to speak when Su Xinyan spoke first," Jiuyun, follow me first. Jiutian will come to change Jiuyun at night."”
When Su Lihua heard that she still wanted to bring a servant girl over, it was clearly not conducive to their plan, so she turned around anxiously. When he turned around, he met his daughter Su Xinyan's unbelievably calm eyes.
After a while, Su Xinyan smiled and her eyes were filled with undisguised mockery." Father, what's wrong? The Empress instructed me not to let the two servant girls leave me. Shouldn't the two servant girls accompany me when I go to the ancestral hall to kneel?”
Su Lihua did not say anything and turned around again.
Su Xinyan turned around and glanced at Suxue and the other maids. She used her gaze to comfort them, telling them not to be anxious. Before she retracted her gaze, her gaze swept past Nine Heavens 'beautiful face. The latter understood and went forward to support Su Xinyan. At this moment, Su Xinyan was still injured and sprained her ankle.
Su Xinyan followed the butler out of her room. The servant who was originally guarding outside the door also hurriedly followed behind them, not daring to slack off at all. However, only six of the eight servants followed him, and two of them guarded Su Lihua in case he had any orders.
Looking at Su Xinyan's back, Su Lihua's gaze slowly turned cold and indifferent. That figure had been a thorn in his heart for many years. He had endured it for so many years and finally waited for the Empress and the people of the Marquis Manor to relax. It was time to get rid of her.
Previously, when Su Xin Yan's birth mother, who was also the former wife of the Minister's estate, had just died, the Empress 'eyes were practically glued to the Minister's estate, and the Marquis' estate was no exception.
Now, the opportunity had finally arrived.
Su Lihua stood there for a while before stepping out of the room and leaving the Pavilion of Raindrops with the two servants.
When Su Lihua stood there, the maids did not move. As soon as he left, Qing He and Nine Heavens were muttering and cursing. How could they be silent like before?
The others were calm, but they were all worried about the sprain on Su Xinyan's foot, the slap mark on her face that was covered in cold water, and the punishment for the next three days.
Suxue secretly furrowed her brows, knowing that she should inform the Empress or the people of the Marquis Manor at this time. But who should he inform to save Miss? The Empress had great power, but it was more troublesome in the palace. For the Marquis Residence of the Anguo Kingdom, the few madams were the most suitable!
"Now that the young miss is in trouble, I can't sit idly by no matter what. However, Aunt Liu was too ruthless today. She actually caused her own miscarriage to shift the blame to others. Because Nine Heavens, you injured the old madam, and the old madam has completely fallen on their side. It's impossible for her to make decisions for us.”Suxue calmed down and analyzed the situation for them.
When Gu Yu heard this, she felt that it was reasonable. After thinking for a moment, she continued,"That's right. The plan now is to ask for help from the people in the Outer Residence. Among the few of us here, Nine Clouds has the highest martial arts, followed by you. If you want to go out and ask for help, you and Nine Clouds are the best candidates.”
Gu Yu was someone the Empress had given to Su Xin Yan. Because her old master was the Empress, when something happened to Su Xin Yan, she subconsciously thought of the Empress who was far away in the Forbidden City. Among the people present, only Nine Heavens and Nine Clouds could enter the palace to look for the Empress without alarming others.
Le Han and Suxue nodded in agreement.
"I also want to enter the palace to beg the Empress to come and seek justice for Young Lady, but what should I say when I see the Empress?”Nine Heavens smiled nonchalantly, her beautiful brows raised as well. She looked like a young lady from a boudoir.#
