Lady Su’s Revenge

Mammy Li sighed slightly and said, “Young master, the Second Miss has lived in the backyard with maids since she was a child.”

Su Qingtan looked angrier. How many such dirty things had his mother and second mother kept from him all these years?

The second mother was the second sister’s biological mother. How could she let the second sister live such a hard life? The second sister had been so thin because of malnutrition.

“Does my father know about these things?”

“I don’t know, young master.”

Su Qingtan snorted coldly and walked directly to the eastern courtyard with Su Li in his arms. “From now on, my second sister will live in the eastern courtyard. Mammy Li, don’t go back to the western courtyard either. Just stay and take care of my second sister.”

Hearing this, Mammy Li was immediately relieved. Her tone was unconsciously full of joy. “Thank you, young master. I will take good care of the Second Miss and restore her health.”

Su Qingtan nodded slightly. He knew that Mammy Li was very kind and he could feel relieved to let her take care of the second sister.

There were a lot of empty rooms in the eastern courtyard. Su Qingtan asked Mammy Li to clean up the room, and he walked to his room with Su Li in his arms.

Looking at the girl in his arms curled up like a kitten, there was deep love in his heart. He unconsciously quickened his pace. But before he entered the courtyard, he was stopped by a cry.

“Qingtan, wait for your first mother!”

Su Qingtan turned around and saw the First Madam in a mink cloak coming in a hurry. Su Zipei followed her silently with red eyes.

First Madam Zhu saw Su Li in Su Qingtan’s arms, and her eyes changed slightly. She immediately pretended to care about her and said, “Qingtan, listen to me. It’s all a misunderstanding! Let me take Erya back to the western courtyard.”

A misunderstanding?

Su Qingtan flashed an angry look in his eyes and said coldly, “Please explain the misunderstanding to my father, first mother. My second sister is weak and couldn’t stand the cold. I need to get into the room.”

Without waiting for the First Madam to react, he turned around and straightly stepped into the room.

When the Madam Zhu realized it, her face flushed with anger.

Although Su Qingtan was the son of the Second Madam, he was always very filial to her. Now he contradicted her like this for that bitch!

“Mother, what shall we do?”

As soon as Su Zipei heard that Su Qingtan wanted to tell her father, she burst into tears.

Madam Zhu was so upset that she could not stand her temper and scolded in a low voice. “You’re so useless. How could you accidentally say it? Let’s talk about it when we get back!”

Su Zipei felt very aggrieved. She had never been scolded by her mother. When she thought of it in this way, she hated Su Li even more.

Madam Zhu looked at the courtyard a few times without hearing any sound. Then she left with peace of mind. With the temper of that bitch, she should know what to say and what not to say.

Su Qingtan let the servant girls bathe and change clothes for Su Li first, and then ordered the kitchen to brew medicine herbs and make some light dishes. He fed the medicine and food to Su Li personally before he left the bedroom.

In the middle of the night, Su Li opened her eyes. She saw that the light in the study was still on. She occupied the eldest brother’s bed. It looked like he didn’t prepare to sleep that night.

She was half asleep and alert all the way in the day. She didn’t really fall asleep until the eldest brother refused to hand her over. Though she still had a fever, she didn’t feel so bad anymore.

Now in the dead of night, she finally had time to clear up her thoughts since she was reborn.

It was much easier to return to Su’s mansion in this life than in previous life.

She came back as a sinner in her previous life. But in this life, she was not a sinner, at least in her eldest brother’s mind. As for the others, she didn’t care.

Dasu Town, where the Su family was located, was a member under the jurisdiction of Qinghe Province that was one of the twenty provinces of the Dahan Dynasty, which had a wide territory. The emperor ruled the country well and had not had a war for decades.

The satraps of the counties would recommend talents to the Dynasty every year. Then through the capital selection test, they would promote to the nobility and had a great future.

This unique system of selecting talents was the key to the prosperity of the Dahan Dynasty. A man of both ability and virtue dreamt of becoming a young talent in the eyes of the satraps all the time.

So was the eldest brother Su Qingtan, and so was Cousin Yang Wei.

Last year, the Su family had done many things for Su Qingtan and his name was on the satrap’s recommendation list. It was already a certainty. But Su Zipei stole the most precious night-luminescent pearl of the Su family and sent it to the county magistrate, Li Shanbao, who loved jewelry, in the name of Cousin Yang who was a relative of the Su family.

Then the magistrate thought the Su had done all these things for Yang Wei, so he recommended Yang Wei directly to the provincial office.

After the results came out, the Su family realized that they had made a mistake and wanted to fall out with Yang family when Su Zipei came out suddenly and said that she saw Su Erya gave the pearl to Yang Wei personally and implied that Su Erya fell in love with Yang Wei secretly, which was the reason she did it.

There was no need to talk about what happened after that. Su Erya wasted half of the Su family’s fortune and ruined the first young master’s prospect. She became the sinner of Su family.

She was cheated in the previous life, and she knew that Su Zipei stole the night-luminescent pearl later when Su Zipei showed off and told her the truth.

Today she just wanted to pretend to be poor and let her eldest brother pick her up. Only when she returned Su’s mansion could she continue her path of vengeance. But she didn’t expect that Su Zipei would appear suddenly, not to mention that she would be so cooperative.

Su’s eyes were dark and cold. No one could know what she was thinking about.

After a while, she wrapped herself in the quilt and went to sleep deeply again.
