I just want to die of old age

Chapter 87: The Fight in the Marquis' Mansion - Cannon Fodder, Real Gold 19

Marquis Su Muyun pondered for a moment, and then spoke in a low voice: "Has your mother always treated you like this?"

"Normally he's fine, he just pretends I don't exist."

"I noticed something was wrong at the beginning, but I thought that you were biological mother and daughter after all, and your relationship would gradually improve. I didn't expect you to be so incompatible."

His voice had lost its former confidence, and his face showed a hint of guilt towards his daughter. He paid too little attention to his daughter.

He knew that Yuzhu had just returned home, and he also knew that he had an adopted daughter, Su Mingyu, with whom he had lived for more than ten years and they had a deep relationship.

How embarrassing it would be for Yuzhu to come back at this time, as even her biological mother, the Madam, only cares about her adopted daughter, Su Mingyu.

Fortunately, Yuzhu is smart enough, otherwise she would have suffered a lot of injustice.

When I saw my father’s guilty look, my heart softened unconsciously and there was a hint of warmth in my eyes.

"Father, I don't blame you. You have always been very good to me. I can feel it."

Marquis Su Muyu looked at me for a while and smiled with satisfaction: "Yuzhu, I will care about you more in the future. I didn't do enough before."

I smiled gently and nodded. When Su Yuzhu was in trouble, only the Marquis was trying to find a way to save his daughter.

Even later, he still believed Su Yuzhu and was still investigating the truth of the matter.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard you try, you can't guard against thieves in your own home. He never expected that his wife would help his adopted daughter Su Mingyu to eliminate all the evidence.

As a result, Su Yuzhu passed away before the matter was investigated. How sad!

"Father, I am really being unfilial. It will be difficult for me to treat her as my mother in the future."

I said firmly, with unshakable determination.

Su Ziyi's expression darkened when he heard this, his lips slightly opened, but he didn't shout out, nor did he try to dissuade his mother. He knew that his mother had really gone too far this time.

Yuzhu was completely heartbroken. Her blood-related relatives had ended up like this.

But he still wanted to wait until Yuzhu calmed down before trying to persuade her, especially his mother, who should apologize to Yuzhu.

Marquis Su Muyun closed his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Yuzhu, maybe there is a destiny between mother and daughter. I don't want to force you to do something you don't like. But in front of outsiders, you should be nicer to your mother and don't let it spread."

I keenly noticed the worry in the Marquis' eyes and immediately understood what he was thinking. I nodded with a smile on my face.

"Father, don't worry, I will still do the facade work."

I asked doubtfully, "I thought you would persuade me and think I was making a big deal out of nothing."

"Don't test me. All relationships are two-way, not the efforts of one person. Your mother is strong and stubborn, and will never bow her head, and you don't want to be wronged, so your relationship will only get worse and worse."

"My father is wise and sees things very clearly. I don't want to be wronged, and I don't want to waste any more time."

I have never been a timid and indecisive woman. I always have my own ideas and I will never regret once I make a decision.

The Marquis showed an appreciative smile on his face, no longer gloomy, and laughed out loud: "As expected of my daughter, you hesitate to make a decision when you should, and suffer the consequences. Ziyi, you should learn this from your sister."

Su Ziyi was not jealous either, and his face showed his appreciation for his sister. He clenched his fist and saluted: "Yes, father."

He has always been aware of his weaknesses. He is too soft-hearted when it comes to matters concerning his family. He always worries too much and is unable to find ways to deal with the problems.

Maybe my father is right. If we don't make a decision, we will suffer the consequences.

When I saw that this matter was over, I brought up another matter: "Father, will Guo Shaojie's matter affect you?"

"It's okay. You are not wrong in this matter. I didn't expect that Minister Guo, who is always as smart and capable as a fox in the court, would have such a useless son and a worrying character."

I burst out laughing when I heard that. The description really couldn't be more apt.

"Moreover, with the way Minister Guo conducts himself, he will not let this matter get away from you. He will bring a valuable gift to apologize, so you should be prepared to accept it."

My eyes lit up after hearing this, and my voice became much lighter and more lively: "The Shangshu is indeed much better than his useless son."

"It's just that people in official circles are better at covering themselves up."

"They are all old foxes indeed." I stole a glance at the wise marquis and muttered softly.

The Marquis seemed to have heard it and looked straight at me, as if he could see through my thoughts.

I hastily tried to make amends by saying, "Sure enough, the Minister of War is an old fox."

The Marquis did not expose my sophistry, but just smiled and said: "We should learn from his flexibility. Sometimes we should not force ourselves to be the first. If we bow our heads at the right time, we can better hide our edge and use our trump card to kill with one fatal move."

I lowered my head and pondered thoughtfully. It seems that Minister Guo is really a scheming person. I should pay more attention to him in the future.
