Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves

"How can I be as cold and indifferent as the master?"

Lin looked at him with a miserable expression, fighting back tears. "As soon as I gave birth to Man'er, you welcomed the pregnant Concubine Liu into your family. I became ill after childbirth, so Master had me vacate Lanxin Garden and move to the dilapidated Lanxiang Garden, where I lived for ten years."

"I was bedridden and the master hadn't seen me for months, and hadn't come to visit me more than a few times a year."

"When I was sick and needed medicine, Madam Qian, to save face, invited the doctor from Huichuntang to diagnose me. When she prescribed the medicine, she would just go to a small pharmacy and get the cheapest herbs as substitutes. If there were no herbs to substitute, she would simply not use them."

"If it weren't for the small sum of money my mother gave me over the years, I wouldn't even be able to afford a complete prescription."

"In this case, I'm afraid I won't live to wait for Man'er to come back."

I'm not sad anymore, but tears are still flowing.

"Man'er has been weak since she was born. Master, have you ever cared about her?"

"Six years ago, because of Concubine Liu's words of insomnia and the lies of a wandering evil monk, Master, regardless of the father-daughter relationship, heartlessly sent her, with a high fever, thousands of miles away."

"Master, did you ever consider my plea at that time? Man'er's life was in danger."

"When it comes to coldness and indifference, the master is truly cold-blooded and frightening."

"Lin, you..." She was simply going against the will of heaven.

Su Tinggui did not expect that Lin, who had always been weak, would actually fight back against her in this way.

He wanted to refute, but what she said was true and he couldn't refute it for the time being.

His eyes glanced at his daughter who was watching the show coldly.

He was furious for a moment, "Su Manman, I am your biological father. Jiaojiao can be used as jewelry to raise money for my father's medicine. You have money, why don't you take it?"

He said angrily, "Don't forget, if your reputation as an unfilial person gets out, how will you get married in the future?"

Su Manman sneered and said calmly, "I still remember six years ago, when I had a high fever that wouldn't go away, my father insisted on having me tied up in a carriage and sent to Jiangyang."

"Before leaving, my father only gave the caretaker nanny ten taels of silver."

"Excuse me, father. Jiangyang is thousands of miles away from the capital. Ten taels of silver is not even enough for food and clothing on the way, let alone medical treatment."

"How could that be?" Su Tinggui seemed surprised by her words.

"Halfway through the carriage journey, I had a high fever and passed out. The old maid was afraid she wouldn't be able to complete her mission, so she dumped me on the side of the road in the heavy snow. If it weren't for the kindhearted people who rescued me, I'm afraid the grass on my grave would have grown several times over."

She downplayed her miserable life in the past, but it made Lin heartbroken.

"Man'er, why have you suffered so much?" She hugged Su Manman in her arms, crying out of breath.

Su Manman patted her shoulder gently, comforting her while saying, "Don't worry, mother. I'm lucky."

His eyes fell coldly on Su Tinggui's stunned face, "Father has no feelings for me, why does he expect me to have feelings for him?"

She smiled sadly, her brows raised. "You said Jiaojiao pawned her jewelry to raise money for your medical expenses. May I ask, father, in all these years, have you ever bought me a hairpin? I have nothing to pawn, so how can I raise money for your medical expenses?"

"You..." What she said was all true.

Su Tinggui was unable to refute for a moment and changed the subject, "If my leg injury is healed and I lose my position as Minister of Rites, do you think you can marry into a good family with your bad reputation in the capital?"

"We rise together and fall together."

Su Tinggui closed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "Father knows that you have some money on hand. Both the Prince Qi's Mansion and the Prince Jin's Mansion have given you a lot of benefits. Take out any one of them and it will help your father get through this disaster."

"If I am well, you can protect me, and then I will naturally be well too."

Su Tinggui tried to persuade her by using both soft and hard tactics.

Su Manman felt sick when she heard these high-sounding words. "Since I was born, I have never been protected by my father. Since then, I have never had any wishful thinking."

"So, you are unwilling to pay the money?" Seeing that she was not moved, Su Tinggui said angrily.

"Father, your leg injury was caused by Madam Liu and Su Jiaojiao. The injury upon injury was all caused by Madam Liu. Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. Father should know who to look for."

"You..." Su Tinggui pointed at Su Manman and said angrily, "You evil girl, you are so decisive in doing things. Come, tie her up for me."

At his command, the guards in the mansion gathered around him.

Shujian and Shuqi held swords and blocked the door, while Qingluan stood in front of his master to protect him.

The guards wanted to arrest people, but the guards and maids on this side stopped them. The two groups rushed together and started fighting each other.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

"Su Tinggui, I was so blind to marry you back then." Lin, who had been silent until now, could no longer endure it and roared, "Su Tinggui, I want to divorce you."

"Want to divorce?" After a brief moment of surprise, Su Tinggui said fiercely: "Lin, your Lin family was demoted, and you are still alive today because of my protection. Divorce?"

He said angrily, "Impossible."

"I want a divorce!" Lin's face was stern, and she said loudly: "In this life, I must divorce you."

"For me, Su Tinggui, there is only the death of my wife and a letter of divorce, but never a divorce."

The two men exchanged words in anger across the scuffle between the guards.

Su Manman's subordinates have all been in the martial arts world, so they are naturally more skilled than the guards in the mansion.

Soon, the ground of Nishang Courtyard was covered with wailing people lying all over the place.

Su Tinggui was so angry that he gritted his teeth and threatened to use family rules.

The situation was completely out of control and was about to get out of hand.

A clerk hurried over and said, "Master, the Bi Cang Auction is open. If you don't leave now, it will be too late."

Applying the tonic ointment and healing your legs is a big deal.

"Just wait for me." Su Tinggui said harshly, and with a wave of his hand, many guards staggered to their feet from the ground and carried him away.

A farce, temporarily calmed down.

As soon as the person left, Lin burst into tears again, "Man'er, mother wants a divorce and wants to leave the Su Mansion. I don't want to live like this anymore."

"Mother wants to protect you and wants you to marry into a good family. Your future life doesn't have to be like this, but..."

Su Manman understood everything she didn't say.

Women should obey their husbands and fathers at home.

My mother has lost the support of her family and has no one to rely on. How can it be easy for her to divorce Su Tinggui?

And since she didn't have the background of the Su family, it was extremely difficult for her to marry into a good family.

Although she is tough today, if Su Tinggui becomes cruel tomorrow and finds her a random family to marry her off, she will be powerless to resist.

The most urgent thing for her is to find someone to rely on.

……

In the marble prison, the air was damp and corrupt. A ray of sunlight slanted in through the window and shone on the person in the corner.

His hair was disheveled, his clothes were tattered, and his thin body was curled up like a wounded animal licking its wounds alone in the dark.

There were footsteps at the door, and then the iron lock loosened.

Mo Daoxi lay there motionless, looking over with his eyes slightly opened.

In the dim light, the man's tall figure was hidden in the darkness. A ray of light shone obliquely on his profile, and a pair of black eyes stared at him coldly.

"What brings His Highness Prince Qi here?"
