Chapter 3 The Truth
Seeing Su Weili's reaction, Su Liuyue had no idea what was going on, and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth in a mocking manner.
She couldn't tell for now what Su Weili's abilities were, but he was indeed cruel.
What she said just now was not a lie. The night when the original owner allegedly hanged herself, she indeed fell into a coma!
Therefore, when she first came here, she knew that there was something fishy about the original owner's so-called suicide, but at that time she didn't know who the murderer was.
At this moment, combined with Su Weili and Su Rou's words and reactions just now, the truth of the whole matter is about to come out.
The person who killed the original owner was probably her good father!
And her good half-sister is the biggest driving force.
After that incident, in order to not lose the protection of the Zheng family, Su Weili did not hesitate to let the original owner "hang himself" to apologize to the Zheng family.
With a life at stake, even the biggest mistake can be offset.
Su Rou set up the trap for the original owner in the beginning because of her engagement with Zheng Jiulang, but she was not completely brainless. She had obviously made a lot of preparations before that. The Thirteenth Miss of the Zheng family, whom she had been trying to please recently, was the legitimate daughter of the second branch of the Zheng family and the youngest daughter of Madam Tao. The Zheng family had always doted on her, and her words naturally carried a certain weight in the Zheng family.
In addition to this, she is afraid that she has a bigger trump card.
In the two sentences that Su Weili said just now with a strange expression on his face, it was obvious that he was hiding something.
There is no problem with the other contents. Su Liuxue is indeed not yet of marriageable age, and Su Rou has indeed been very close to the Thirteenth Miss of the Zheng family during this period.
The only thing that could be false is that Madam Tao from the second branch of the Zheng family is very satisfied with Su Rou.
In the original owner's memory, there was no memory of Su Rou ever meeting Mrs. Tao.
Therefore, the person who was very satisfied with Su Rou was probably not Mrs. Tao, but someone else.
It is very likely that it is the other party to this engagement - Zheng Jiulang.
This is not a glorious thing, and the Zheng family must be anxious to quell the storm. If Zheng Jiulang asks to marry Su Rou at this time, it would be a natural thing to do.
Judging from Su Weili's panicked attitude after the incident, he didn't know that this matter was related to Su Rou at first. It is hard to say whether he knows it now.
Judging from Su Rou's reaction just now, she probably didn't know that Su Weili had brutally killed his own daughter for this matter.
However, all this is not important anymore. What is important is that the real original owner has been killed by these two people.
A murderer who killed his own daughter turned around and blamed his own daughter.
It's really funny.
Su Liuyue kept looking at Su Weili with a half-smile, and this look inexplicably made Su Weili feel uneasy.
After scolding Su Liuyue, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and strode away.
Guo didn't follow them. She looked at Su Liuyue inquiringly and suddenly said in a cold voice, "I know you must feel bad after going through such an incident, but you caused this incident yourself, so you can't blame others.
The new emperor has just ascended the throne, and your father is worried about the affairs in the court every day. If you really care about the Su family, you should stop bothering your father and stay in your room to reflect on yourself!
You've caused such a big disaster, but your father only punished you by grounding you for half a month, which shows that he loves you very much."
Su Liuyue twitched the corner of her mouth slightly.
Doesn’t Guo feel it’s ironic when he says the word love?
However, Guo had always been too lazy to pay attention to her ex-husband's daughter. It was very strange that she stayed here on purpose and said some words that seemed to be comforting.
Su Liuyue looked at her thoughtfully, lowered her head slightly and said, "Mother is right. I originally thought that I had caused such a big disaster and damaged the reputation of the Su family. Father would at least punish me by sending me to live on the farm for a while.
I guess my father still loves me."
This was a common punishment for women from noble families who made mistakes. When she first woke up, Ersi and Eran were worried whether she would be sent to the farm.
In their opinion, their daughter is already sixteen years old, and there is no one in the family who really cares about her. If she is really sent to the farm, she will definitely not be able to come back for a year or two, and her marriage will definitely be delayed.
Just think about the dark future.
So when they later heard from the people sent by Su Weili that they would only be punished by being grounded for half a month, they were surprised and happy.
As soon as Su Liuyue finished speaking, a hint of sneer flashed across Guo's eyes, but she just kept a straight face and said, "No matter what you say, you are the eldest daughter of the Su family, and your father and I can't really ignore you.
Although it is Rou'er who is going to marry into the Zheng family now, you are Rou'er's eldest sister after all, and there is order of seniority. It is not reasonable for a younger sister to marry before the older sister.
Fortunately, the Zheng family is very understanding and willing to schedule the marriage of Rou'er and Zheng Jiulang at the end of the year, so that you have time to find a good family. The Zheng family is so understanding, and we cannot let them down. Therefore, during this period of time, A Niang will help you choose a good marriage, and you just need to wait for your marriage as usual!"
Ersi and Eran were stunned and looked at Guo in surprise.
They thought that after such an incident, their daughter’s marriage would be delayed!
They never expected that the lady still remembered them girls!
Even Su Rou looked surprised.
Su Liuyue was not as easy to fool as Ersi and Eran. She felt a pang in her heart but did not show it on her face. "The end of the year? It's already June, and there's only half a year left until the end of the year. Besides, I just went through something like that, so my reputation is bound to be damaged. Are you so sure that you can find a good family for me before the end of the year?"
Guo looked at the woman in front of her with some surprise.
This was the first time she had spoken to her face to face since she woke up. When she was talking to the master just now, she felt that this woman seemed to have changed a little.
Now I see that he has really changed a lot! He actually still considers these things!
It seems that after dying once, I have made some progress.
But, what’s the use?
Guo raised her lips slightly, trying her best to hide the gloating and disdain in her eyes, and said: "It's good that you know that you are different now. I am not afraid to tell you the truth. With your current reputation, it is impossible for you to marry a good family. But you are the eldest daughter of the Su family after all. For the sake of the Su family's reputation, you can't marry too badly.
Although we are not biological mother and daughter, we have had a mother-daughter relationship for so many years, and you know how my mother has always treated you. Don't worry, my mother will do her best to find a good family for you."
All of Guo's subtle emotions showed that she had something to hide.
What does this couple want to do?
Previously, they were able to kill the original owner in order to please the Zheng family, and now, they are obviously eyeing her marriage.
This is to completely squeeze out the surplus value of one's daughter!
Su Liuyue's brows frowned slightly. She had originally wanted to keep a low profile, conserve her energy, and find a way to leave this home.
But now it seems that the situation does not allow her to take it slow.
She lowered her eyelids slightly to hide the gleam in her eyes, pretending to be disappointed, and said, "I know that mother has treated me very well. I have caused such a big incident this time, but mother is still willing to worry about my marriage. I am really happy in my heart..."
Guo raised her eyebrows and said, "I am happy to see that you are so sensible now.
I heard your voice is still a little hoarse today. The doctor said that this is because the injury on your neck has not healed completely. Go back to your room and have a good rest. Mother will not disturb you. Rouer, let's go."
Su Rou obviously didn't expect that at this point, Guo was still willing to speak to Su Liuyue in a nice tone, and she couldn't help but bite her lip hard.
There is only a two-month age difference between her and Su Liuyue. From childhood to adulthood, she has always believed that she is better than her elder sister in everything, whether it is appearance, temperament or talent. However, she is just the eldest daughter, so she is superior to her in every way.
She had long disliked her elder sister. How could such a fool get everything so easily just because of her identity?
Now, even though she had caused such a terrible disaster, her mother was still willing to plan her marriage.
Why? !
But since Mrs. Guo had spoken, she could only lower her head and respond even if she wanted to tear the handkerchief in her hand.
Seeing that Guo and Su Rou were about to turn around and leave, Su Liuyue's eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly said, "Mother, wait a moment, my daughter has something that I would like to ask for your approval."
