MTL - The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 17: Kill one person as a warning to others

Su Leyun looked hesitant, twisting the handkerchief in his hand, not knowing where to start.

If the truth about that night is revealed and the two of them are worried, it will also hinder the friendship between King Jin and his brother.

Now that the King of Jin is powerful, there is no need to offend a prince over a trivial matter.

Su Leyun thought hard to find a suitable word, but he didn't know that his appearance had special meaning in Sun Jiarou's eyes.

She held Su Leyun's hand, with a smile in her eyes, as if she had been there before, and said knowingly: "Mother knows that Yun'er is shy, that's all. If you don't want to say it, just don't say it."

Sun Jiarou couldn't help being happy, pacing back and forth in the room, calculating secretly in her hands.

“The King of Jin is a rare talent among the younger generation. He comes from an orthodox background and is of first-class talent, learning and character. It’s no wonder that my Yun’er looks down on that boy from the Li family.”

“It’s just that today’s family is different from ordinary families. Mom should hire a nanny for you as soon as possible and get two new sets of hair and facial hair for you to wear at the spring banquet...”

 Listening to her mother's detailed plans for her, Su Leyun felt moved and sad.

Prince Jin just expressed his feelings slightly, and Sun Jiarou wished that she could carefully arrange the next few decades for her. Unfortunately, Prince Jin was not a good match for her, and she was afraid that she would disappoint her mother in the end.

 “Mother.”

Su Leyun pulled Sun Jiarou's sleeves coquettishly, pulled her to his side and sat down again, saying coquettishly: "Mother, I see how anxious you are, as if you want your daughter to get married tomorrow."

Sun Jiarou stroked the top of Su Leyun's hair and rubbed it carefully.

"Mother is naturally reluctant to part with her, but girls will eventually get married. Why don't I make plans for you as soon as possible? Then all the good sons will be picked up by others, so don't cry."

“Then the daughter will not marry and will stay with her mother for the rest of her life!”

Su Leyun approached Sun Jiarou's arms and stuck out his tongue playfully.

“It’s just that we haven’t decided yet. My sister has just come back. I can’t bear to have her get married so soon.”

Su Ye was left out for a while, then he touched his nose and ate the peeled pine nuts on the table.

Not to mention what King Jin has in mind, my sister has not yet had hair extensions, so she has to stay at home for two more years to live a happy life.

Sun Jiarou glanced at her son reproachfully and pondered slightly.

"The King of Jin is here to let me know. When the time comes, he will naturally ask for your majesty's favor and grant a marriage."

After finishing her words, Su Leyun frowned and murmured to herself, if King Jin really asked for the imperial edict, she would have to marry even if she didn't want to.

Not to mention the danger of seizing a legitimate son, King Jin himself is short-lived. According to the trend of his previous life, he will be killed by a tiger during spring hunting in a few months.

Su Leyun felt an inexplicable hesitation in his heart when he thought that that cold and tough man would be killed by a tiger.

Without waiting for her to think about it, Sun Jiarou called Nanny Zhang to her side and gave her detailed instructions on how to dress when entering the family tree tomorrow.

“Tomorrow all the clan elders will be coming, so don’t be afraid, Yun’er, my mother will always be by your side.”

Su Leyun nodded obediently. Based on her experience in her previous life, the elders in the clan were easy to get along with. It was just a matter of family tree, so she probably wouldn't embarrass her.

　　"Okay, it's been a busy day, you should take a rest early."

Sun Jiarou and Su Ye left together.

Su Leyun watched the two of them go away before ordering the main hall door to be closed.

“Mommy, call all the girls in my house.”

Mammy Zhang knew that she wanted to use Chun Xing's incident to establish rules, so she agreed.

After a while, there were three rows of girls standing crowded together in the main hall. They were whispering to each other and talking about what happened in the past hundred days.

Su Leyun sat in the main seat, holding his chin with one hand, looking at everyone with cold eyes, and gently touched the table with his other hand, without saying a word.

As time passed, the girls gradually became quiet, lowering their eyebrows and not daring to say anything.

 “I think you’ve all heard about Chun Xing.”

"The most important thing for me when working in Chaohua Xiaozhu is loyalty. If you think my master is not good, you can climb a high branch now."

Su Leyun winked at Lianxin, and she immediately took the money bag and poured it on the table.

The fine silver nuggets jingled and gleamed silvery in the candlelight.

"Master and servant, I will give you some money."

 After saying this, the girls looked at each other and knelt down together.

 “The slaves don’t dare.”

 “You really don’t want to leave?”

Su Leyun looked at everyone and asked.

 “This slave is willing to serve the lady for the rest of her life.”

The girls kowtowed and expressed their feelings in unison. At the moment, the second young lady is a person that King Jin values ​​​​and who would let go of this piece of cake if he is not clear-headed.

"Okay, I'll take note of what you said today. If someone is like Chun Xing in the future, they will definitely end up worse than her."

Su Leyun spoke with sharp words, and the sound struck the girls' hearts.

 Everyone kowtowed and did not dare to get up. Some older girls even secretly wondered. They thought that the second young lady grew up in the country and was a weak master who could be bullied, but they did not expect that she was so tough.

 “Everyone, get up, Lian Xin, please share these silver nuggets with everyone.”

 Amidst the thanks from everyone, Su Leyun went back to the room, sat in front of the bronze mirror and took off the hairpin ring, looked at the person in the mirror, and smiled coolly.

Su Waner, are you satisfied with today’s surprise?

　　What I have done in the past life, I must repay a hundredfold in this life.

In the Peony Garden, the lights were brightly lit, and in the main hall, the servants were kneeling on the ground, with their bodies low, not even daring to let out their breath.

Su Waner pressed her eyes, which were red and swollen from crying, with a handkerchief and threw the tea cup in front of everyone. The broken porcelain was scattered everywhere. Several maids kneeling in front were cut by the porcelain pieces and did not dare to speak.

Xue Huan stood by and waited on her side, moving gently and gently, for fear that if she accidentally made Su Waner unhappy, she would be in trouble.

“Tell me! How did this jade bracelet get into my room?”

He glanced at everyone with his sinister eyes, and finally landed on a few big girls who were waiting in the room.

The rules in her yard have always been strict. Except for a few older girls, no one else can enter her bedroom.

“I usually treat you very well, but it would be better for you to help outsiders harm me!”

 “Hit me, hit me hard, until they say so!”

As soon as the words fell, the two nuns opened their bows from left to right and slapped the two maids hard in the face.

The remaining two maids stood aside and shivered, with tears falling down the ends of their eyes, panicked.

Xue Huan looked at the two sisters’ cheerful faces and secretly rejoiced.

 Fortunately, she has been out doing errands for the lady these two days, otherwise she would not be able to escape the disaster.

The two girls were beaten until their hair was messed up and their lips were bloody, but they resisted and did not dare to cry. Seeing that it was almost done, grandma stopped and walked to the other two.

As soon as the palm of her hand, which was used to doing rough work, was raised, a girl knelt down and pointed at the other girl and said: "Miss, I saw Tamagawa sneaking into your house that day, as if he was still groping on your bed. Coming..."
