My concubine is pregnant, I tear up the marriage certificate and marry another powerful official
Chapter 68: Mutual affection?
"Don't you know that the small garden is mother's territory? These flowers and plants are her hard work, and you broke them at will and scattered the petals and branches all over the ground. What was you thinking?" Zhao Wanrong has been managing the Su Mansion well since she married into the family. She has always been very majestic. Her two younger sisters were once afraid of her in their hearts, but as time went by, they found that she had no ill intentions and were no longer afraid of her.
Su Yun smiled and replied, "Sister-in-law, it's my mother's birthday tonight. She likes peonies just like my wife, so I thought of picking a few branches to make her happy."
It would have been fine if she hadn't said this, but once she did, Zhao Wanrong got even angrier.
Without waiting for her answer, Su He took a half step forward and stared at the peony branch, smiling gently: "Madam Luo, do you like peonies? Or do you like the position of madam?"
Su Yun's face changed, and she hurriedly explained, "Second sister, you misunderstood. Mother simply likes Shaoyao. She is of low status, how can she dream of becoming the Madam?"
The last sentence was spoken in a low voice, and Su Yun's eyes flickered slightly. Thinking of the fact that her mother was once Wang's personal maid, she felt ashamed.
If her father hadn't gotten drunk and mistook her mother for Wang, she wouldn't have been born. Unlike Su He, she was born a legitimate daughter, and the halo of a legitimate daughter is something she could never achieve!
"You want Aunt Luo to be happy. As a daughter, I understand your feelings. But everyone in the mansion knows that the small garden is a private area given to your mother by your father. It is wrong for you to break off the large area of peonies that your mother has carefully cultivated without telling her."
Su Yun bit her lip and didn't answer, her eyes slightly revealing dissatisfaction. Su Lian wanted to defend her: "Second sister, please don't embarrass Third sister. In the end, I was wrong. If I hadn't mentioned that peony flowers are beautiful, Third sister wouldn't..."
Su Lian spoke with a half-voice, and she looked young, so she didn't seem to be pretending. But Su He remembered that in her previous life, when the Su family was framed and imprisoned by the Lu family, the two sisters Su Yun and Su Lian took advantage of the chaos to run out of the house and kneeled down in front of Lu Zhili, who was then the Minister of Rites, and was willing to sacrifice everything to save their lives, and asked him to find a way to rescue Aunt Luo and Aunt Mei.
Before dying, people always try to find ways to make a living for themselves.
Su He didn't feel angry, he just felt it was not worth it.
Their mother treated them well. As long as she had something in her life, she would buy them a portion. It was like this from childhood to adulthood. The only thing that Su Yun and Su Lian had a conflict with their mother was the dowry.
They want the same dowry as Su He.
Su Ronghai also had a particular headache.
Not to mention that legitimate daughters and illegitimate daughters are different, when the two concubines were asked to raise their daughters under Wang's lap, they were unwilling to do so after discussion. Now they only hope that Su Ronghai can give them equal dowries to raise their status.
"Since it was fourth sister who proposed it, we should correct our mistakes as soon as we realize them. How about starting tomorrow and having you two sisters take care of the flowers and plants in the small garden for a few days? You have to be patient when taking care of flowers and plants. If you are not careful and the flowers and plants become uncomfortable, or a leaf falls off when it shouldn't, or a beautiful flower withers, I'm sure mother will punish you." Su He's tone was always soft. Even if Su Yun was dissatisfied, she couldn't bite the bullet and argue back.
Besides, it was indeed her fault for breaking the flower branches.
I had been to the small garden several times before, but I didn’t expect that Su He would come back today and I would be caught red-handed.
"Second sister taught me that Su Lian and I will come together tomorrow."
Su Yun tightly grasped the flower branch and bit her lips, seeming to harbor resentment. She did not come to her senses until Su Lian pulled her away and left the small garden.
"What's the news today? She came back with me? Did she come back to get information after hearing that Lord Lu wanted to marry the daughter of the Su family? What's so good about those flowers and plants? Are they worth taking care of with you?"
Su Lian pondered for a while, and saw from the side that Su Yun's face was not looking good.
She knew that Su Yun's appearance and talent were similar to her second sister's, and the difference between them was too big just because of the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. She must not be happy about being bullied by Su He just now.
Su Lian tried to comfort her, patted her back and continued, "Okay, Third Sister, when you get married, who will be able to stand in front of you so arrogantly and lecture you at will? Even my eldest brother and sister-in-law will have to speak humbly, so just bear with it for the next few days."
Su Yun smiled mockingly when she heard that.
Looking down at the peony flowers in full bloom, if it weren't for the fact that they were in full bloom, who would like such a vulgar thing? They were just a few flowers and plants, but Wang was guarding them like treasures?
Su Yun couldn't help but think of Lord Lu again. She was unsure and always felt that the marriage proposal was a bit mysterious. Lord Lu had only met her a few times, so why would he propose marriage for no reason?
But besides her, there was only Su Lian in the mansion.
Su Lian is inferior to her in every way, how could she be pleasing to her eyes?
Or maybe it's Su He who's been married...
Lord Lu is a man of integrity, why would he want a married woman?
Thinking of this, Su Yun felt a little better.
She turned around to say goodbye to Su Lian and returned to Mulan Residence to see Aunt Luo.
In the small garden, Zhao Wanrong had someone clean up the scattered branches and leaves. When she saw that there were only two peonies left, she couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Mother has always been kind, so she didn't let them know the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. Now it seems that she was wrong!"
Su He frowned: "My sisters have their own future, sister-in-law, don't worry."
"Oh, they are not my biological sisters, why should I worry so much? I am just afraid that they will behave inappropriately after getting married and lose the reputation of our Su family!"
Su He looked calm, looking in the direction the two men left and muttered, "Who knows."
In the previous life, it was Lu Zhili and Lu Yanxiu who framed the Su family, which forced Su Yun and Su Lian to take the risk and choose the most dangerous method to save themselves. This time, they are prepared. Even if the two brothers think of ways to plot again, they can never put the entire Su family to death. So Su Yun and Su Lian will naturally not come up with some dirty ways to save themselves.
It's a light and windless night.
Wang held a banquet in the main hall and invited the whole family to have dinner.
Since they had met in the small garden, Su Yun was always indifferent to Su He. After the meal, the sisters didn't even say a word to each other.
At the dinner table, Su Ronghai wanted to mention Lu Huaihe's proposal of marriage, but was stopped by Wang. Su Ronghai knew what she meant, so he decided to wait until the dinner was over and ask Ah He's opinion before making any decision.
After the meal, Su Ronghai and Wang called Su He to the study to talk. When asking about Lu Huaihe, Su He felt a little nervous.
"Ah He, we want to know what you mean. Are you on the same page with Lord Lu?"
"Like-minded?"
Su He lowered his eyebrows and didn't know what to say for a moment.
There is probably no affection between her and Lu Huaihe.
At least not in her opinion.
But the things he said...
"My dear daughter, you know the relationship between Lu Huaihe and Lu Yanxiu. If you really get married, it's worth it if he truly loves you. I'm just afraid that his intentions are not pure, and he might want to play with you..."
