Shengjing Noble

"Wanjun, I passed the imperial examination and was hated by others. I don't want to be associated with them. I have offended too many people. I am not afraid of life and death, but you are just pregnant. What if they hurt you?"

"Now, we can only rely on the power of Yong'an Marquis. Please let Liu Ruyan marry you as your legal wife. I swear to heaven that I am only having a casual relationship with her. I will always love only you in my heart!"

……

The past is still vivid in my mind, but the person in front of me has changed beyond all recognition.

Lu Wanjun was completely disappointed in him and felt very depressed.

She was unwilling to accept this and angrily asked, "I have been following you for twenty years. What happiness have I gained? Instead, I used my own dowry to support your Su family. If it weren't for me..."

"Shut up!"

Su Yongcheng was furious. He shouted sternly, interrupting Lu Wanjun's words, with fire almost spitting out of his eyes.

These words were like a knife, stabbing him where it hurts the most.

He was furious, the hatred in his eyes was almost crazy, he raised his finger and pointed at Lu Wanjun's nose to question her.

"What do you mean? Are you saying that I'm a gigolo? It's ok for outsiders to look down on me, but why do you look down on me too?"

"Besides, I never asked you to pay me back. You did it willingly and on your own initiative. I thought you were sincere to me, but I didn't expect that you would look down on me and humiliate me like other people!"

Lu Wanjun didn't expect that he would turn the tables on her and was immediately at a loss as to what to do.

"I don't look down on you, I just... I just want to tell you that I have done so much for you over the years..."

Su Lanyin knew that her mother had always been a paper tiger, saying the most cruel words and doing the softest things, otherwise she would not have been controlled by Su Yongcheng like this for so many years.

But she didn't expect that Su Yongcheng could easily control Lu Wanjun's emotions.

Just two words from him could make her go from angry to guilty, as if her soul had been taken away by someone.

Forget it, my mother is cowardly and stupid, so in the end she will have to rely on her daughter.

Having said that, this bastard Su Yongcheng is a gigolo who is living off his wife and children. He is really a whore who wants to be a virtuous woman!

Seeing Lu Wanjun apologize, Su Yongcheng knew that she was still worth using, so his tone softened a lot.

He took a step forward, still looking down on others.

"I know you've done a lot for me, but I've let you run the Su family for so many years. Do you know what outsiders say? They say I favor my concubine over my wife! How much pressure have I endured for you!"

"I'm sorry, I... I don't know..."

Seeing her wavering expression, Su Yongcheng continued, "Lanxiang is young and comes from a poor family. She also has to take care of Yaozu. She is so busy all day that she has no time to manage the household. Since you have admitted your mistake, I will give the key to the treasury to you..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Wanjun reached out to take the key. Seeing this, Su Lanyin immediately stepped in and interrupted her.

"Dad, can't you see that my mother is ill? How can you bear to let her continue to work so hard when she is so weak? The eldest lady is older and comes from a prominent family. Her two children are grown up and no longer need to be disciplined. She should be able to take on the important task of housekeeping. Moreover, the Su Mansion should be managed by her as the mistress, so it is better to return the key to the treasury to its original owner."

Su Yongcheng's face was as black as ink, his eyes were fierce, and he raised his finger to point at her nose in anger.

"You are a poorly disciplined bastard, do you have any manners? I'm talking to your mother, and you interrupt me again and again. I really should discipline you!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and slapped Su Lanyin hard on the face.

"Snapped!"

Su Lanyin fell to the ground, her cheeks swollen and blood oozing from the corners of her mouth.

Lu Wanjun woke up instantly and rushed out of bed to check her daughter's injuries.

"Yinyin, how are you? Let me take a look..."

Su Lanyin's face was pale, with blood hanging from the corners of her mouth. Her phoenix eyes were filled with tears but she was too strong to let them fall, and she forced a smile.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine, and don't blame Dad, he just cares more about my elder sister."

This sentence directly hurt Lu Wanjun, making her feel distressed and angry, and the guilt that had just been brainwashed also disappeared.

She turned around, furious: "Su Yongcheng, you bastard! How could you do this to our daughter! She was just worried about my health, what's wrong with that? You couldn't even say a harsh word to Su Lanxin, but what about Yinyin? You actually hit her?"

She has been deceiving herself for so many years.

The two daughters of the Su family are only one year apart in age, but when they were named Lanxin and Lanyin, it was already clear that the former was the real apple of the eye.

"If you hadn't spoiled her like this, why would I hit her? A concubine's daughter who doesn't even respect her father will bring shame to the Su family when she gets married. How can she compare to Lan Xin who is well-educated and well-mannered!"

"You!" Lu Wanjun was so angry that she could hardly breathe. Her eyes were red and she said angrily, "Well, since I am not as good as Liu Ruyan in every way, and my daughter is not as good as Su Lanxin in every way, then let them take charge of the household affairs from now on!"

"You, do you think that the Su family will be in trouble without you? I tell you, I let you take charge of the household affairs because I feel sorry for you. Since you are so ungrateful and willing to be a concubine with no rights, then it's up to you! Humph!"

Su Yongcheng was so angry that he left in a huff. As soon as he left, Lu Wanjun hugged Su Lanyin and burst into tears, releasing her inner grievances.

"Yinyin, what should mother do..."

Su Lanyin hugged her tightly, and said firmly: "Mom, you still have Yinyin and your brothers."

She could have dodged the slap just now, but there was no need to.

If Lu Wanjun doesn't give up on Su Yongcheng, how can she let it go completely?

After all, they have been married for twenty years. The more they have given, the harder it is to let go.

Su Lanyin sighed, fortunately her mother did not continue to be the housekeeper, otherwise after going through all this and returning to the starting point, wouldn’t all her efforts be in vain?

Lu Wanjun didn't want to make her daughter worry, so she wiped away her tears and pretended to be strong: "Yinyin has become more filial and sensible as she grows up. It's your father who has no vision. You must not be sad because of his belittlement."

"What about mother? You have been scolded, belittled and rejected by the whole family for so many years. Isn't your heart broken enough?"

"I……"

Lu Wanjun felt like there was something stuck in her throat for a moment.

There is no woman who doesn't care about her husband's disgust and rejection. She dreams of gaining the approval of the whole family.

"Yinyin, he is my husband after all, and he is also your father."

Su Lanyin sat beside the bed, holding her hand, her tone extremely gentle.

"Mom, you are all I need. What difference does it make whether I have him or not? You have done enough over the years. Now that I am here, you can enjoy your life."

"But can you do it? I don't look down on you. I'm just worried that you are too tired."

"How can I be tired? I only care about you and your brothers. I don't care about those ungrateful people in the Su family. Look at how dissatisfied my father is with Li Lanxiang after only being the housekeeper for a few days."
