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

Chapter 18 Marry into the Li family

 “You’re talking nonsense!”

Yuchuan knelt on the ground and looked at Yuyao in disbelief.

Yuyao's eyes averted slightly, then she gritted her teeth and said cruelly: "Although you and I are sisters, no matter how strong our affection is, it cannot be compared to a word of loyalty."

 After saying that, she winked at the other two girls who had been beaten. The two understood and corrected Tamagawa one after another.

Among the four, Tamagawa is the most honest, he can only work quietly, and he is shameless in front of Su Waner, so it is perfect for him to be pushed out to take the blame.

Yuchuan was speechless and crawled to Su Wan'er on his knees, kowtowing desperately.

“Miss, please believe me, it’s really not me, I don’t have it!”

Su Waner glanced at the girl lying on the ground with disgust, raised a sneer on her lips, and kicked her away fiercely.

"You didn't? Did they frame you together?"

Su Wan'er lifted Yuchuan's chin, her watery eyes seemed to be quenched with poison, cold and frightening.

Tamagawa met her eyes, trembling and begging for mercy.

Outsiders all said that the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion was kind-hearted and kind-hearted. Only the servants like them knew that Su Wan'er had a bad temper and would often beat and scold them if they had the slightest inconvenience.

Now that she has been framed, she is afraid that half of her life will be taken away.

 “You have made me look bad, and you still have the face to ask me to let you go!”

Su Waner slapped her pale and thin face hard. She was not relieved and turned around to give orders to the two nuns.

"Beat him, beat him hard, and then sell him to the lowest place."

Tamagawa fell to the ground, her eyes widening in horror. Two nuns approached her and blocked her mouth. An inch-wide board fell on her like raindrops.

In less than half a stick of incense, Tamagawa collapsed on the ground, his voice weak.

One of the girls looked unbearable and turned her head away, seeing Yuchuan being carried away by the servants.

Xuehuan saw something happened and went into the house to reply to Su Waner.

Su Wan'er sat on the couch, without commenting, her phoenix eyes as swollen as walnuts fixedly looking at the jade bracelet on her wrist in confusion.

 Speechless, Xue Huan stood aside tremblingly.

Su Waner took off her jade bracelet and put it properly into the brocade box. She leaned back on the chair and spoke in a cold voice.

 “What do you think about Tamagawa?”

His knees went weak, and Xue Huan knelt on the ground with a plop, begging for mercy again and again.

 “Miss, I am loyal to you and will never change my mind!”

　　With a sneer, Su Waner stretched out her hand to lift the person up from the ground, twirling her nails painted with red cinnamon, and said coldly: "Do you think your master is so easy to fool?"

 In fact, she had already seen Yuyao winking with the other two. Yuchuan had always been submissive in front of her, and even with her courage, she did not dare to betray his master.

She already knew that the jade bracelet incident was not caused by them, but if she didn't introduce a scapegoat, and lift it up and put it down gently, where would her face be? How to control it and alert others.

Xue Huan has been with Su Waner since she was a child. She suddenly wanted to understand what she meant. She shuddered subconsciously and felt cold in her heart.

“I asked you and Aunt Zhang to go pick up the second young lady before. What did you see?”

Xue Huan told everything that happened on the road.

Su Wan'er's brows furrowed more and more as she listened. She was still a timid country girl when she first received her, but her appearance changed on the road.

It seems that Grandma Zhang has put a lot of effort into her.

Now with the help of King Jin, when the family tree is published tomorrow, Su Leyun will be the legitimate daughter.

 She is just a country girl, why should she be suppressed?

 “You go down first.”

Su Waner breathed a sigh of relief, took the brocade box, and went to the old lady's house alone.

 The night is dark, the full moon hangs high, and the winter night wind blows on people, biting and chilling.

As soon as Su Waner entered the flower gate, Aunt Zhao came up to her from afar with a lantern to illuminate her.

“The old lady knew that the young lady would come, so she asked me to hold the door open for you.”

 “It’s hard for grandma, she’s still waiting for me outside in the cold weather.”

Su Wan'er had a smile on her lips and stuffed a silver nugget into her face without showing any signs of expression.

Mama Zhao declined and accepted it. After weighing her weight, she smiled from ear to ear.

He quickly opened the door curtain for Su Waner and let her in.

In the bedroom, the candlelight was flickering. The old lady was sitting on the couch, her eyes half-closed, and twirling a string of Buddhist beads in her hand.

Su Waner did not dare to disturb her, so she stood aside obediently, picked up the silver scissors, and picked out the candle wicks.

"sit down."

 After a long while, the old lady finally spoke, slowly put down the prayer beads, and looked at Su Wan'er calmly.

Su Wan'er didn't dare to sit down. She held the brocade box in both hands and sent it to the old lady. Before she could speak, her eyes were red and tears were falling down.

Seeing her like this, the old lady sighed, put the brocade box on the table, and said helplessly: "I haven't told you yet, why are you crying?"

 Took the handkerchief and stuffed it into Su Waner's face, and the old lady pulled her to sit next to her.

“Wan’er knows that my grandmother believes in me, but I feel aggrieved.”

Su Waner covered her face with a handkerchief and cried silently. The old lady gently stroked her head and let her lean on her shoulder.

 He opened the brocade box again, took out the jade bracelet, and put it on Su Waner's wrist.

“This is a legacy of my family. Now I just give it to you. I will wear it to see the elders of the clan tomorrow.”

As the cool jade rubbed her skin, Su Waner stopped crying and sobbed to take off the bracelet.

“This is my grandmother’s favorite thing, Wan’er can’t have it.”

 The old lady held her hand and prevented her from sliding down, with a hint of reproach in her favor.

“I only give you what I love most, Wan’er, remember, no one can get past you in front of grandma.”

Su Wan'er's nose felt sore and she looked up at the old lady, feeling pitiful.

“Grandma, Wan’er only has you.”

 The old lady sighed, stroked her back, and spoke softly to comfort her.

"I see that the eldest son of the Li family is sincere towards you. After this period of time has passed, I will go to the Li family's house to meet with his old lady to finalize your marriage."

Hearing this, Su Waner frowned slightly and stood up from the old lady's arms slightly stiffly.

“Grandma, I want to stay with you for two more years and don’t want to get married.”

The old lady laughed at her, stroked the top of her hair, and looked kindly at the slim granddaughter in front of her.

 “You’re silly. Grandma is too old to protect you for the rest of your life. What happened today will happen again in the future if you can’t protect her.”

The old lady didn’t know what she was thinking of, and her eye circles were a little red, but she still suppressed it.

Now that she is still here, there are still people who dare to frame Wan'er through the jade bracelet. When she leaves, Wan'er's situation in the Su Mansion will be much more difficult.

When the legitimate daughter returned, Wan'er's identity was already embarrassing, but it turned out that Le Yun was a good girl. Not only was she backed by the General Protector's Mansion, but now she had the favor of the King of Jin.

 The family has always worshiped those who are superior and despised those who are inferior. Rather than stay in the Suhou Mansion and suffer the insults, it would be better to marry into the Li family early and become the mistress of the family, which would provide stability and comfort.
