Chapter 215: The Lady in the Eyes [3rd update! Requesting all kinds of help! ]
"Oh! I know that your eldest wife wants the second girl to marry the King of Qi. Ha! Sister-in-law, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but do you really think that the emperor's princes are apples on a tree and you can pick whichever one you want?"
Xiaokang's sarcastic remarks made Liu and Su Yunrou look even uglier.
Su Yunrou bit her lips tightly, tears flashing in her eyes.
Her reputation used to be good, but since Su Qingwan and the others came back, her reputation has become worse and worse.
The most important thing is that after Su Qingwan came back, one thing after another always happened inadvertently, rippling back and forth between the first and second rooms, making it impossible for her to deal with Su Qingwan at all, and she could only keep cleaning up the mess for her own family.
So the people in the third room were also hateful, but at this moment she hated the mother and daughter of the second room even more. They actually slandered her in public at the family dinner, saying that she had a bad reputation. They all deserved to die!
Old Kang's face also darkened, especially when she noticed that the old marquis's face had turned ugly, she immediately scolded:
"What are you talking about? Shut up!"
Her eyes were like poisonous needles as they swept across Liu and Xiaokang's faces.
It would be fine if two little ones were quarreling, but it is extremely embarrassing for their mothers to join in the quarrel!
Seeing that no one was talking, Hua Jiaoniang's eyes flickered. She picked up a cup of tea, handed it to Liu, and said carefully:
"Madam, please have a cup of tea to calm down. Today is a family dinner, and it's getting louder...ah!"
Before Hua Jiaoniang could finish her words, Liu slapped her in the face. The crisp sound of the slap instantly made everyone look over.
"Who the hell are you? Do you have the right to speak here?"
This slap was filled with Liu's accumulated anger, and she was particularly ruthless.
Hua Jiaoniang was beaten so hard that she fell onto the table, and her cheeks swelled up visibly.
"Liu, what are you talking about?"
After hearing the noise, Su Zhiyi looked towards the table of women. He saw his concubine covering her cheek with tears in her eyes. She looked at Liu with great fear and caution.
He rubbed it and walked directly over here.
"Master, I..."
Liu was shocked back to her senses by Su Zhiyi's furious questioning.
Only then did she remember what she had done. She wanted to explain, but Hua Jiaoniang took over the conversation.
"Master, please don't be angry. I just overstepped my bounds and didn't know the rules of the Marquisate. It's only right for the Madam to teach me a lesson."
Hua Jiaoniang covered her cheeks with her hands, tears streaming down her face.
Although she became a little plumper due to her pregnancy, her beauty was not diminished at all. Instead, she made Su Zhiyi fall in love with her.
At this moment, the beauty was crying helplessly, but pretending to be strong, which made Su Zhiyi feel extremely distressed.
Looking at Hua Jiaoniang's weak appearance, Liu really wanted to slap her twice more.
Shameless vixen only seduces men!
"Jiao Niang, I'm so sorry for you." Su Zhiyi said with heartache.
"Master, I am the happiest woman to be by your side. I have never felt wronged. When Madam came to see me before, I told her that I only asked her to treat me as a cat or dog that you keep by your side, or any other insignificant little thing. As long as I can be by your side and accompany you all the time, I will be satisfied!"
Hua Jiaoniang said hesitantly, her whole face filled with her infatuation and tenderness for Su Zhiyi.
Su Zhiyi was so moved that he disregarded etiquette and hugged Hua Jiaoniang in his arms.
If he could meet such a woman in his life, it would be enough for him!
The old marquis had a better impression of Hua Jiaoniang because of what she said. She was a good woman who knew the big picture. But it was inappropriate for Su Zhiyi to hug her like that in front of so many younger generations.
He coughed heavily, "Why don't you let go? What a shame."
Hua Jiaoniang pushed Su Zhiyi away in panic, lowered her head, and looked extremely embarrassed and angry.
Liu was so irritated by the hug between the two that her eyes turned red.
Bitch! Bitch! Bitch!
This dirty thing who was born as a prostitute actually dared to seduce a man in front of him and framed him with words. When did she ever say those nonsense to him? She was clearly trying to deceive Su Zhiyi.
Coincidentally, Su Zhiyi believed it and was deeply moved!
How could Liu not be angry?
"Master, don't be fooled by her. She never said those words. She is lying to you." Liu said.
Hua Jiaoniang: "Madam, there is really no need for me to lie to you, Master. Although we were the only two of us talking that day, the scar on my knee is still there!"
Su Zhiyi was shocked instantly!
"Jiao Niang, didn't you say that the scar was caused accidentally?" Su Zhiyi asked.
When Hua Jiaoniang heard this, she instantly realized what she had just said. She waved her hands in panic, with a look of helplessness on her face.
"Yes, sir, I was scratched accidentally."
As she spoke, she glanced at Liu timidly, as if she was afraid of angering Liu.
This made Liu mad!
"You're a lying bitch!" Liu raised her hand to hit her, but Su Yunrou quickly held it down.
"Mom, calm down!"
Su Yunrou was a bystander, and she could tell at a glance that Hua Jiaoniang was trying to sow discord between her father and mother in front of everyone.
Before, she only thought Hua Jiaoniang was a second-rate woman, but she didn't expect that she was so scheming and resourceful.
"Madam, please love me and don't drive me out of the house because I'm pregnant with the master's child. After the child is born, I'm willing to be a slave and serve you, madam, and be your footmaid. I only beg you not to let me leave the master, and treat me like a cat or dog in the house and just give me food." Hua Jiaoniang knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Liu repeatedly.
"What are you talking about, my dear? Is this vicious woman Liu planning to wait for you to give birth to a child and then kick you out of the mansion?"
Su Zhiyi's eyes were as big as bells. He hurriedly helped Hua Jiaoniang up. If it weren't for the family banquet, he would have wanted to go up and beat the vicious woman Liu to death.
"you you you...."
Liu was so angry that she fell backwards.
"Aunt Hua, my mother treats the other concubines with the greatest kindness and has never blamed, beaten or scolded any of them. You entered the Marquis' Mansion the latest, so I guess you don't know this. But you'd better be careful with your words in the future and don't say things that may cause misunderstandings." Su Yunrou said coldly.
Su Zhiyi was very dissatisfied after hearing this, but he knew very well that he could not really do anything to Liu because of this matter, as she was still his legal wife.
"Second sister, although Concubine Hua entered the mansion late, she has a deep affection for my uncle, so it is not impossible for her to make such humble requests. Besides, my aunt really beat Concubine Hua in front of everyone just now, and Concubine Hua's cheek is still swollen, so it is not impossible for my aunt to let her kneel and hurt her knees."
"It's just a pity for Aunt Hua. She is still pregnant and has to suffer this. I don't know how distressed my uncle is right now."
Su Qingwan said at the right time.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Su Zhiyi's face turned dark and distorted.
"Ms. Liu, don't go to Jiao Niang anymore in the future. She is pregnant and you are torturing her like this. I never thought you could be so cruel!" Su Zhiyi said angrily.
He looked at Liu with great disdain, and then said to the old marquis:
"Dad, my wife is not feeling well. I sent her back. Since the second son hasn't come back yet, it won't be too late to hold a family dinner after he comes back."
After saying this, Su Zhiyi angrily pulled Hua Jiaoniang away.
