Chapter 50: Separate Rooms for Husband and Wife
Su Qi was furious when he heard this: "You all say that Su Ci is my biological sister, but have you ever thought that Hua'er is also my father's daughter and your sister Su Fu? You only see Su Ci..."
"Second brother, stop talking!" Seeing that Su Qi was speaking without restraint, Su Hua hurriedly stopped him from biting.
Although Su Qi was trying to help her this time, she didn't want to be implicated by Su Qi.
Su Qi did this and put the blame on Su Ci. If Su Ci thought that she and Su Qi had teamed up to do this, she would have no way to defend herself.
"Why don't you say it? How much have you been wronged over the years? Has anyone ever cared about your feelings? They only have Su Ci in their eyes, and Su Ci is obviously rude——"
This time, before Su Qi could finish his words, Su Lian slapped him again.
The force of his palm was so great that it knocked Su Qi to the ground.
Su Qi was extremely embarrassed, but he still didn't think he was wrong. Hua'er and he were marginalized people in the mansion, no one cared about them, and they used tricks to fight for the part they deserved, so what was wrong?
"Dad, you are old, calm down." Seeing that Su Lian was so angry that he had difficulty breathing, Su Ci hurriedly helped him sit down.
Everyone looked at Su Ci and felt that Su Ci did not seem like the kind of person who could get along well with others.
How could she still smile when Su Qi plotted against her like this?
"Leave the heavy work to me." Su Ci flexed his wrists, walked up to Su Qi, and started punching and kicking him.
Even though she is a girl, her punches hit the flesh. How can a weak scholar like Su Qi withstand her full-force punches and kicks?
Soon he started wailing non-stop, but Su Ci still did not let him go and continued to attack him crazily until Su Qi fainted on the ground from the pain and lost consciousness. Only then did Su Ci stop.
[Su Er is really useless, Su Ci is really awesome! ]
[Good fight, wonderful fight, Su Er was screaming! ]
[Su Ci acted so cruelly in front of Zhao Shizhu. She really didn't care about Zhao Shizhu anymore.]
[Wow, my Durian CP may be about to BE]
……
After Su Ci knocked Su Qi unconscious, he immediately felt refreshed.
After exposing Su Qi's trick and beating Su Qi up, she felt that there was nothing left for her to do and wanted to turn around and leave the main hall.
Seeing this, Hua'er hurriedly crawled to Su Ci and said, "Miss, please forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again."
When she served in Shangxinyuan, even though she was only a third-class maid, she had everything she deserved. The young lady usually treated her very well, and if she begged for mercy, perhaps she would be forgiven.
"Once unfaithful, never forgiven. You don't think I will save you, do you?" Su Ci said, and kicked Hua'er over.
Huaer cried bitterly, but no one present sympathized with her.
Su Lian pulled Su Ci aside and glanced in Su Hua's direction: "How are you going to deal with this matter?"
Su Ci looked at Su Hua and met Su Hua's earnest gaze.
She said calmly, "I am also a victim. Why are you asking me, Dad? Why don't you ask His Highness how to deal with this matter instead of asking me."
Today she told her father that she would find a way to get Su Hua into Zhao Shizhu's backyard to make this official couple come true. Now she thought about it and thought she was being too nosy. She was the official couple and the heroine, and there were many people who were willing to sacrifice themselves for her. Why was she being so nosy?
Su Lian also noticed the change in Su Ci's attitude, and he immediately understood what was going on.
"Dad is not young anymore, let's settle him down earlier. I'll go back to Shangxinyuan to rest first." Su Ci looked at Su Lian, and her words came from the bottom of her heart. She should probably stay in the mansion for a few more days, to show that she was forced to help Zhao Shizhu take a concubine on the day of his return, and to act like a victim.
In this case, Zhao Shizhu will have to thank her then.
Liu Hu's intention was to drive a wedge between Prince Duan's Mansion and Marquis Xuanping's Mansion. She had been wronged in Prince Duan's Mansion and had returned to her parents' home and didn't want to go back to the Prince's Mansion. Didn't that make Liu Hu certain that his plan to drive a wedge between them was halfway successful?
She is so smart!
Seeing Su Ci leave, Zhao Shizhu wanted to follow him the next moment. Su Hua panicked when she saw that no one mentioned her: "Your Highness..."
Zhao Shizhu turned around to look at Su Hua and said calmly, "The third lady also saw it, it was just a misunderstanding, let's put it aside!"
Su Hua didn't expect that Zhao Shizhu would not be responsible for her. So many servants in the Marquis' Mansion had seen her and Zhao Shizhu being alone in the dark back garden before. If even one person told this to others, she would not be able to face anyone in the future.
She looked at Su Lian for help, and Su Lian comforted her, "Hua'er, your father will pass on this matter. No one will know about what happened tonight. Don't worry, go back and rest early."
Su Hua's hands and feet suddenly felt cold.
In the final analysis, it was because her father didn't care about her reputation. If Su Ci encountered the same thing, her father would definitely force the other party to marry Su Ci.
Even though so many people saw this unfavored concubine being with a man in the dark, her father didn't think it was a big deal.
"Then father, please go to bed early. I'll take my leave now." Su Hua said nothing in the end and left with tears in her eyes.
Su Fu looked at the unconscious Su Qi and asked, "How does Dad plan to deal with Su Qi?"
"Let him kneel in the ancestral hall for a month. If he doesn't repent, let him go to the military camp for training." Su Lian patted Su Fu's shoulder, "As his brother, you should also take care of him."
"He doesn't like to associate with me, and I don't like him favoring Su Hua in everything. Dad, you should find someone else. I want to beat him up whenever I talk to Su Qi." Su Fu rejected Su Lian's suggestion without hesitation.
Su Lian had no choice but to ask the servants of Qingxinyuan to carry the unconscious Su Qi back.
On the other side, when Zhao Shizhu was on his way back to Shangxinyuan, he heard Qixi say that he was led away by Su Qi's men, and he also heard Qixi scolding Su Qi all the way.
Zhao Shizhu was absent-minded and quickened his pace. Finally, he saw Su Ci's back. She was about to enter Shangxinyuan.
As if sensing his gaze, Su Ci turned around and looked at him.
Zhao Shizhu quickened his pace and entered Shangxinyuan. He wanted to say something but couldn't.
He was usually taciturn, and when he first met her, she was the one who warmed up the atmosphere. Now that she was silent, the atmosphere between them became cold.
"It's my fault. I should have been more vigilant..."
Su Ci laughed when he heard this: "Your Highness did nothing wrong. It was Su Qi who was cunning first. Your Highness is the victim. How can I ask Your Highness to apologize?"
"I didn't expect Su Qi to have such a deep prejudice against you. I don't think I've ever heard you mention Su Qi before." Zhao Shizhu wanted to observe from Su Ci's face whether she was in a good mood, but he saw that she was smiling, and seemed no different from before.
"It's not a glorious thing to be disliked by your own brother. What's there to say?" Su Ci said, and told Si Xue, "Go and clean up the west wing. His Highness will rest in the west wing today."
When she said this, both Zhao Shizhu and his servant were stunned.
