The legitimate daughter returns, and everyone in the Marquis's mansion regrets and begs for for

Old Master Su was furious, his beard bristling and eyes bulging. He had never been satisfied with Su Muya as his granddaughter-in-law. If it weren't for the fact that she was the young master's cousin, and the young master's illness being so serious, he would never have agreed to the marriage between Su Muya and Su Muchen. Who would have thought that Su Muchen would secretly trick him into marrying his precious daughter?

The more Master Su thought about it, the angrier he became. He scolded in exasperation, "You're so foolish!"

Su Muchen lowered his head and said respectfully, "Grandfather, please punish me."

Old Master Su snorted coldly, "Fine, I'll let this matter drop for now, considering your serious illness. Remember this: you must tell me about such important matters first. Also, since you already know that Mu Ya is not of the Su family bloodline, why did you still marry her? Aren't you deceiving this old man?"

Su Muchen stared openly at Old Master Su without flinching and said slowly, "Grandfather, you misunderstand. I genuinely want to get married. It's not to deceive you, nor is it intentional. I only just found out about this myself. I truly love Muya. I'm willing to swear on my life that if I utter a single falsehood, may I be struck by lightning and live a life of eternal loneliness."

Seeing that Su Muchen spoke sincerely, Master Su's expression softened. "That's more like it. Alright, you must be tired. Go and rest."

Su Muchen left Old Master Su's study.

Master Su frowned and asked the steward beside him, "What exactly is Su Muchen planning? Su Muya is his own sister."

The steward chuckled, “The young master certainly doesn’t want to marry a half-sister. However, these half-sisters aren’t as favored as the young lady, so they probably won’t have a good life after marrying into the family.”

After a moment of silence, Master Su said, "That's not necessarily true. If the eldest daughter of the Su family marries the young master, that's a high-ranking position, and she'll have a bright future ahead of her."

Master Su waved his hand, "This matter is not urgent. Let me think it over before we discuss it."

Su Muya paced anxiously around the room, worried about Lvfu's situation.

Su Muchen is unpredictable and has a violent temper. Green Fu has suffered a lot in the past few years by his side, and who knows how much more she will suffer.

Green Lotus brought in a bowl of lotus seed soup and said softly, "Miss, it's time to drink your lotus seed soup."

Su Muya took the bowl and sipped the lotus seed soup slowly, her mind completely elsewhere. She was so distracted that she couldn't taste the flavor even after drinking several bowls.

"Miss, the kitchen sent over some fish soup today. I'll serve you a bowl to try."

Fish soup? Su Muya smelled a strong, fishy odor wafting towards her.

"Miss?"

Su Muya covered her mouth and ran out, then leaned over the bed and vomited violently. Her stomach churned, and she almost vomited bile.

After vomiting, Su Muya felt weak and slumped in a chair, her eyes glazed over.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Su Muya shook her head. "It's nothing."

Su Muya's maid, Cuiliu, sighed softly, "Alas, Miss, the young master is so heartless! He actually wants to marry you off to the Wang family. The Wang family has no advantages other than money. Although our Su family is from a farming background, we are still a hundred times better off than many families. The young master is actually going to marry you off to the Wang family for money. Isn't this just setting you up for trouble!"

Su Muya gritted her teeth and cursed, "That heartless man, how could he treat me like this?"

Seeing that Su Muya was emotional, Cui Liu quickly said, "Miss, now is not the time to be sentimental. You must cheer up and not let the young master decide your marriage at will."

Su Muya clenched her fists. "Cui Liu, I know. I must find a way to stop Su Muchen from treating me like this. I must find a way to escape Su Muchen's clutches."

Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Su knew that Su Muchen had sold Su Muya into the Wang family; they both assumed that Su Muchen had made the decision himself. After all, the marriage was agreed upon by both families and a joint decision. The Su family didn't want to wrong Su Muya, and the Wang family couldn't bear to part with their daughter.

Su Muya was spoiled since childhood. Marrying into an ordinary family would be a disservice to her, let alone marrying into the Wang family.

"What does Miss plan to do? I've heard that the young mistress of the Wang family is the most fierce and difficult to deal with. You're sure to have a bad life after you marry into that family."

Su Muya's eyes darted around, then a sudden idea flashed in her mind, and she revealed a malicious smile. "I know very well what kind of person Wang is. She's full of bad intentions and is best at doing things behind people's backs. Wang wants me to replace Su Mengyao in the marriage, which is simply wishful thinking. This time, I'm going to make sure Wang is dead."

Cui Liu turned pale with fright. "Miss, please don't act rashly. If this gets out, not only will the young master's reputation be ruined for life, but the Su family will also not let you off the hook."

Su Muya sneered, "If I don't want to marry, who can force me to! I will make the Wang family pay the price!"

Didn't she want me to marry the young master in place of Mengyao? I'll make sure she gets nothing in the end.

Wang Shi, she is a pest. She will never allow a pest to continue living.

Cui Liu exclaimed, "Miss has gone mad! You mustn't act rashly!"

Su Muya scoffed, "Do you think I'm crazy? I'm not. Cuiliu, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. This matter can't be publicized. I need to deal with Wang Shi quietly, without letting anyone find fault with me. Go see Granny Li tomorrow and ask her to help me find a suitable opportunity."

Cui Liu hesitated and said, "Granny Li has always been kind to Miss. Will she really help Miss?"

Su Muya frowned slightly. Li Mama did indeed dote on her, but unfortunately, Li Mama only recognized Su Muchen. If she wanted to bring Li Mama down, she would have to rely on someone else.

"Don't worry, Granny Li is the only support my mother left me. If something happens to me, my parents will be heartbroken and resent my brother and sister-in-law. As long as my parents are here, Su Muchen won't have a say."

Su Muya wasn't just doing it for herself, but even more so for her parents and siblings. She could sacrifice herself for herself, but she would never sacrifice her family.

She absolutely could not marry a fool, or her life would be ruined. She was unwilling to accept this! She wanted to leave the capital, leave the Su family mansion, and completely sever Su Muchen's hopes. She would rather marry a fool than a prince. Marrying a fool was better than marrying a prince.

"Cui Liu, go prepare the silver notes. I'm leaving tomorrow morning." Su Muya's expression was resolute.

“Miss, it’s getting late now. Will your body be able to handle setting off tomorrow?” Cui Liu looked at Su Muya with concern. Her young lady was already frail, and now she had caught a chill. What if she fell ill?

Su Muya smiled and said, "Cui Liu, don't worry, I'll be fine."

The next morning, Su Muya packed her bags and prepared to leave the Su residence.

She wanted to visit Su Muchen at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion first, and also tell him that she didn't want to marry him.

Su Muya carried a food box and went to Su Muchen's courtyard with her personal maid.
