Chapter 33 Persuading Him to Switch
Sides
Su Sheng didn’t doubt Su Anan because Su Anan really loved her mother. He remembered that she had kept the handkerchief with her a few years after the Feng family’s death.
Therefore, there was no doubt in his mind that she just wanted to get her mother’s relics.
Yue Luo’s gaze fell on the Young Mistress’s back.
Su Nian broke the pearl hairpin and was left to the side. She was extremely indignant.
Suddenly, she thought of Su Pingping’s scandal. At that time, Su Pingping had howled that it was Su Anan who had harmed her. She had thought that Su Pingping was just exonerating herself. After all, Su Anan had always listened to Su Pingping.
Now that she thought about it, Su Anan might not be such a simple girl. Forget it, she had to endure it.
Su Anan took a seat, glanced at Su Nian’s figure, and sighed in her heart.
Do you think that father is suddenly so good to you because he wants to help you choose young talents?
Wrong, she was only sent to be a concubine.
Even if she had some brains, she would not be thinking about how to target her since she was already married. Instead, she would be thinking about how to prove her own value and make her father reconsider.
Su Anan might have said something if Su Nian had mocked her before she went on stage, but now, she decided not to.
Others might not appreciate it.
After lunch, Su Anan sent Cui Yan and Yue Luo away, cut a grape vine in Zhilan Pavilion, and planted it in the yard.
She said that the grapes were planted for her by her mother, and she missed them when she couldn’t see them.
The two maidservants left as ordered. Su Anan looked at their backs and turned to enter the room. “Father, your daughter has something to tell you.”
Su Sheng was about to go to the shop to check out the business. He paused when he heard her and looked at his daughter’s serious expression. “Let’s go to the study.”
The two of them entered the study. Su Sheng sat down and asked, “Did your aunt ask you to be the spy?”
Su Anan also sat down and poured a cup of tea for her father. “Yes, I am.”
Su Sheng took it and said, “Our family’s business needs to look up to your aunt. Since you’re going to marry him, just do as she says.” “I’m just checking if he’s really sick and blind. There’s nothing else. You don’t have to worry. If you can really give me any useful information, your aunt will not treat you badly.”
However, Su An’s face was serious. “Father, do you really think that Shen Juncheng is so easy to spy on?”
Su Sheng furrowed his brows. “What do you mean?”
Su Anan briefly explained the poisoning on the wedding night. Su Sheng was surprised. “What? It was Shen Juncheng who framed her?”
When the news came out the next day, he thought that Mrs. Liu couldn’t hold back and took action on the wedding night. After all, he was clear about Mrs. Liu’s conduct and did not doubt that it was something she would do.
But he did not think that Liu Shi was actually framed.
Since that was the case, it seemed that Shen Juncheng was not a stupid and sickly person. At the very least, he was somewhat shrewd.
Su Anan continued, “Father, you know what kind of person my aunt is. She is narrow minded, jealous, and unscrupulous in order to achieve her goals. Shen Juncheng was able to live until next year even though he was sick. Do you think that’s all he is capable of?”
Su Sheng put down his cup and his face turned serious. “What did you find out?”
Su Anan pretended to be mysterious. “I didn’t find out anything. It’s just that I saw a dark shadow at night and I suspect that Shen Juncheng is not simple. I was even poisoned the second night after I got married.”
Su Anan said that Liang Mingyu’s plot was Shen Juncheng’s test and that the situation was extremely dangerous. She said that if her daughter had not been obedient at that time, she would not have seen you.
She did not even see the black shadow and was already making things up. If she wanted her father to change sides, she had to raise Shen Juncheng’s status so that her father would take him seriously.
