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

If you don’t refuse, it means you agree.

Su Jiaojiao's delicate beauty was still quite attractive to him.

Otherwise, why would a man who had never been interested in women take her as his concubine for the first time?

Su Manman curled her lips slightly and sneered, "The mistress of the Su Mansion is ill, and the household chores have fallen to Concubine Liu."

"If the mistress dies, Concubine Liu will be deeply favored and may be promoted to the principal wife. With such a great temptation, it is possible that she will not be firm in her determination and will do it."

As soon as she said this, the whole yard fell silent.

Everyone present here knows this truth.

It's just that there is no evidence, so it's hard to point it out.

Concubine Liu was horrified, tears welling up in her eyes. "My dear, ever since I took charge of the household, I have worked diligently and strictly observed the rules of propriety. You cannot ruin my reputation by making rash assumptions just because you've been away from home for six years and don't know the details."

"Yes! Big sister!"

Su Jiaojiao could no longer hide her true temper.

Su Manman did not return to the mansion for her grandmother's birthday party in her previous life, and His Royal Highness Prince Qi had never been here.

Why is it different in this life?

Su Jiaojiao's cherry lips pursed slightly and her brows were furrowed.

Tears instantly filled her eyelashes on her beautiful face, and she choked with sobs: "Eldest sister, for so many years, you were away from home and couldn't fulfill your filial duties at home."

"It's my aunt. She works so hard to take care of my grandmother and father's daily life. She also worries about my mother's medical appointments and medicine every month."

"If it weren't for her hard work day and night, the huge Su Mansion would have become a mess."

"Eldest sister, if you don't ask the truth when you return home and you suspect her like this, it will chill Auntie's heart!"

"Eldest sister, how can you bear to trample on someone else's sincerity like this!"

She is good at crying.

Every word in the crying voice is like a piece of soft feather, tickling the men's hearts, making them feel distressed and unable to help but feel pity.

At the beginning, she might have used this trick to attract His Royal Highness Prince Qi, who was not interested in women, to be willing to take her as a concubine.

Now, His Royal Highness Prince Qi's eyes were full of sternness, but he did not scold her.

He may have been a little moved.

Seeing this, Su Tinggui gritted his teeth and said, "Man'er, Dad knows that I sent you to Jiangyang back then. After so many years, you must have some resentment in your heart."

"But look at you. Now you're back home safe and sound. This proves that Dad's cruel decision was correct."

"So, you may feel resentment towards your father and aunt, but you can't make unwarranted assumptions!"

Three people surrounded her, taking turns attacking her, their words full of accusations and complaints.

Wu Xiaowen, who was standing aside, was waving a jade-handled fan, watching the fight between tigers, looking like he was enjoying the show.

Ye Mo watched and listened coldly, like an outsider.

Only the maids Taohong Qingluan looked worried and very angry.

Su Mansion, our daughter is weak and alone, how can she fight against these people!

Su Manman looked at the faces of Su Tinggui and others, and suddenly felt sad in her heart.

Why did she become an ungrateful and narrow-minded person in their mouths?

In her previous life, she always maintained a grateful heart.

She was grateful to everyone, but in the end, what did she get?

Why should she be grateful to a group of hypocritical people?

"Is it hard work?" She laughed out of anger.

He turned around, hurried back to the house, took out the tray along with the dishes and chopsticks from the table, and threw them on the ground.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The sound of broken porcelain shook everyone's heart.

A few coarse flour buns, a plate of rotten green leaves, and a dish of pickles were scattered on the ground.

Su Manman chuckled, "Didn't the court pay me a salary?"

"Is the Su family so poor?"

"Why is the food in the mistress's courtyard like this?"

"This..." Su Tinggui was confused and looked back at Aunt Liu, who lowered her head in fear.

"Madam Liu, it's not right for a concubine to be in charge of household affairs. You even mistreat the mistress. Is this what you call diligence and adherence to etiquette?"

In the past, Aunt Liu was used to being domineering in the Su Mansion. Whenever something happened, she would act sarcastic and domineering.

In the past, she would have been able to argue with the woman in front of her, or even speak louder than her.

but……

Aunt Liu secretly raised her eyes and glanced at the three men in front of her.

The carefree Mr. Wu, waving a jade-handled fan, narrowed his phoenix eyes and looked at her indifferently, as if it had nothing to do with him.

How could he side with her?

Lord Cao, the Minister of the Dali Temple, is a middle-aged man with a beard. He usually has an icy face, and at this moment his expression is even colder.

He looked at her as if he were looking at a death row prisoner, which made her feel uneasy and she had to breathe carefully.

The one she feared most was His Royal Highness Prince Qi, who was known as the God of Killing on the battlefield. He had a dark face and looked down at her condescendingly.

The murderous aura made her legs tremble and she was unable to stand up. She didn't even dare to raise her head, let alone argue loudly.

At this moment, she could only place all her hopes on the man who loved her.

Grabbing Su Tinggui's robe, she sobbed and called out softly, "Master, Master!"

The call of "Master" softened Su Tinggui's heart little by little.

He was embarrassed, but he forced himself to explain, "I... have been here before. It's not like this on normal days..."

He even dared to defend her.

Favoritism is such a biased favoritism that does not distinguish right from wrong.

Su Manman didn't give the other party a chance to breathe, "Have you ever eaten here?"

Su Tinggui's face turned alternately blue and red.

Indeed, he hadn't been here for three months.

He came a few times a year, but never stayed for meals.

Su Manman shook her head in disappointment. "She's already sick, and she's still eating like this. How can she be nutritious? How can she stay healthy? How can she not make people feel disappointed?"

"Your mother never mentioned it to me!" Su Tinggui was questioned repeatedly and had no confidence, so he explained weakly.

"This is her fault!" Su Manman laughed in anger.

My mother must be blind to fall in love with such a man.

When Su Manman thought of the tragic death of her mother in her previous life and the scene where she had no way out, it was as if a fire was ignited in her chest.

Having been in power for many years in her previous life, she had learned to conceal her emotions, but now she could no longer control them.

"Su Tinggui, back then, you were just a scholar who went to the capital to take the imperial examination. You had no relatives in the capital and no one to rely on."

"It's her. She's in love with you and willing to risk everything to marry you."

"I will provide you with money, manage your household, bear you children, and help you pass the imperial examinations and get promoted."

"When you are in glory, you will completely forget the vows we made under the moonlight when we were in love."

"Support each other through thick and thin, never leave each other, never regret in this life!"

"Huh! How ridiculous."

"If I can't keep my original vow, why did I give her hope?"

She almost growled the last sentence.

Everyone was stunned.

Su Manman looked at the heartless man in front of her with cold eyes and said quietly, "Perhaps deep down, you also hope that she will die soon."

"I didn't!" Su Tinggui's face flushed and he retorted angrily, "Don't talk nonsense."

This evil girl is so arrogant!

How dare they scold and blame him in front of everyone?

Su Tinggui felt humiliated and ashamed.

But these were all facts, and he couldn't refute any of them.

He was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead. If His Royal Highness Prince Qi had not been there, he would have slapped her several times to silence her.

"There's none?"

Su Manman raised her voice, the anger erupting from her body even stronger than his own, "Think carefully, have you really not noticed anything these people have done?"

Su Tinggui: "..."

"Or maybe you've already noticed it and just chose to accept it."

"What's behind your acquiescence?" Su Manman raised the corners of her lips and said sarcastically, "You're just waiting."

She paused, the mockery in her eyes impossible to ignore: "Wait for the knife of time, and for the executioners around to kill her together."

In the silent Cuixiang Courtyard, only her cold voice echoed, "You are waiting for her to die."

The girl was wearing plain blue clothes, and the hem of her skirt rose without wind.

When she questioned, she did not scream hysterically, nor did she roar in a harsh voice.

She remained calm and spoke steadily.

But word by word, those yin and yang characters seemed to turn into sharp blades, cutting open people's skin and completely exposing the black heart hidden in the chest.

In Cuixiang Courtyard, you can hear a pin drop.
