Chapter 856: Does he deserve it?
Su Yiqian however was rather calm, these people ruined her reputation and even tried to harm her second brother.
Since they were vicious, they could not blame her for being vicious to them either.
When Old Madam Su saw how Su Yiqian was willing to give up her reputation for that bastard, she was so angry that smoke was coming out from her seven orifices.
For the sake of that man with whom she had no relationship this woman was actually willing to let go of her reputation, no wonder she did not care about their family! Her heart was with the Su family in the capital!
At this moment Su Jinxiao who received word from his aide rushed back to the capital. When he saw how his sister chose to give away her reputation for his sake, he was touched but at the same time, he hated the Su family and the Lin family.
He silently noted down these families in his heart.
His sister had told him that this family was not good and tormented her, they almost sold her but fortunately, their father came to save her just in the nick of time, but there was no evidence to prove that these people made his sister suffer. In fact, if they were to say such things now —— no one would believe a word that they say, after all, these people knew how to act!
Another reason Su Yiqian chose to give up on her reputation was because she saw Su Jinxiao arrive. With him by her side she was not worried, her two elder brothers doted on her the most, they would definitely not leave these two families alone!
With Su Yiqian confessing the matter came to an end, and the head officer no longer made things difficult for her. He ended the case and returned to the county office with the rest of the officers while Su Yiqian turned to look at the Su and the Lin family before saying in a low voice,
" If you want to fight until the fishermen dies then go ahead."
Old Madam Su knew that she could not push Su Yiqian too much which was why she stood up from the ground when the latter asked her with a polite smile on her face.
She could sense that Su Yiqian was furious this time but so what? Who asked her to be shameless and scheme against their backs? She deserved it.
" Since imperial concubine Su insists then I will stay," though no one knew what Su Yiqian said, they all thought that she must have apologized to Old Madam Su just now.
Su Yiqian smiled as she helped Old Madam Su inside the house but inside her heart, she was cursing the Old hag for ruining her.
Why did these people not die when they were coming to the capital? Why did they have to come here and dirty her eyes?
Just like that, under Su Yiqian's apologies and coaxing Old Madam Su walked inside the house with the rest of the family.
But before Old Madam Su went inside the house, Old Madam Lin hurried over to their old friends and gossiped with an embarrassed smile saying that they did not think that Su Yiqian was trying to harm them and it must be a misunderstanding.
When the people around her heard her words, they all felt sympathetic thinking that these commoners were really simple and did not know good from bad.
Su Yiqian had harmed them to this point and they were still speaking up for her.
The old lady from the next door also felt sympathetic towards Old Madam Lin and asked her to come to her house for lunch. This was what Old Madam Lin was looking for, though she was not smart enough to understand the schemes in the capital, she knew that she had to make sure that the people around her were aware of her absence.
This was written in the letter by Su Wan. She told them that as long as they went against Su Yiqian there was a chance that the latter would try to cut them off from the outside world. If there was no one to worry or care about them then no one would know when and how they died!
Thus, Old Madam Lin agreed to the invitation very enthusiastically saying that she was going to be there no matter what.
As soon as they stepped inside the manor, Su Yiqian dropped the friendly and apologetic smile on her face and then said, " Are you happy now that you have ruined me?"
" Ptui! Ruined you? I would say that I just saved my family's life!" Old Madam Su did not stop herself now that she was behind closed walls, she raised her hand and then slapped Su Yiqian on the face, this time she did not hold back as she knew that if Su Bai had not paying attention they would have lost their heads!
" You are such an Unfilial bitch that I don't even know what to say to you! You did not want us to spend your money? Fine! We can make do with the little money that you give us but you actually handed us a death sentence!"
" You crawled out in this world because of us. You actually dared to ruin your father and brother? Forget about helping him, you stood up for a bastard who has no relation with you! You deserve to be struck by lightning!"
This was something that Old Madam Su spoke with all her heart, Su Yiqian was in power but she was not helping her family what was the point of her staying alive? She might as well die!
Su Yiqian was stunned by the slap.
This was something she did not expect as she knew that these people would not dare to touch her but after getting slapped she was so angry that she turned to glare at Old Madam Su and snapped, " Why should I help him? Who is he to me? If there is a bastard here then it's your precious grandson! He ordered me around like a servant, it's good enough that I am letting him live! What academy!?
With his moral conduct of sleeping with anything that wears a skirt do you think he can become a Scholar?"
