Chapter 84: Beat Your Father Up

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Even though they were both daughters, Wu Ruofei was showered with affection and treated as the apple of her father’s eye, but she nearly died at Wu Ruofei’s hands.

What kind of heart-wrenching pain could be more cruel than this?

Su Yingxue couldn’t help but think of her previous life. She understood Wu Jinyan’s pain very well.

After allowing her tears to flow for a while, Wu Jinyan rationally asked Su Yingxue, “By barging into the estate to save me, you must have attracted attention. Did I cause you any trouble?”

Su Yingxue held her chin and thought about it seriously. “Is it troublesome to beat up your father?”

She intentionally teased Wu Jinyan, but Wu Jinyan’s heart skipped a beat, “What? You… You beat up my father?”

“What? Sister Jinyan blames me for…”

“No! I’m worried about you! He’s a high-ranking official in the court. It’s a serious offense to harm an official! How could you… How can you go to such lengths for me? If it implicates you and affects your well-being, how can I find peace in my heart?” Wu Jinyan anxiously shed tears.

Su Yingxue wiped the corners of her eyes, “Sister, as long as you don’t blame me, that’s all that matters. As for whether it’s a serious offense or not, since I dared to act, I can assure you that I won’t be guilty. Besides, it’s your father who should be held accountable! Look at how you’ve been tortured, and yet he turns a blind eye, allowing Wu Ruofei to torment you. He’s the one who failed as a father, and that’s a serious crime!”

“Heh…”

Wu Jinyan let out a mocking laugh.

“To be a father… He’s not worthy!” Wu Jinyan rarely talked about family matters, but Su Yingxue could see the resentment in her eyes.

It seemed that she had suppressed it for too long and didn’t need to bear it any longer.

Wu Jinyan knew that now that Su Yingxue had saved her, she probably had no more relationship with the Minister’s Estate. She lay on the bed, her face pale, but her gaze was resolute, “Yingxue, I will repay you for saving me.”

“Of course, the cost of saving your life is very expensive. Sister should think about how to repay me in the future.” Su Yingxue jokingly eased the tension, hoping that Wu Jinyan wouldn’t worry too much.

She comforted Wu Jinyan to sleep, instructed Manager Qi to take good care of her, and then prepared to return to the estate with Zhilan.

Manager Qi wrote down the medical report, a full three pages long. “Miss, please take a look.”

Su Yingxue glanced at it and thought to herself that Manager Qi was indeed a meticulous person. She could entrust her future sister-in-law to Manager Qi with peace of mind.

As Su Yingxue returned to the estate with Zhilan, she spotted Old Madam Zhang waiting at the entrance.

Now, Old Madam Zhang was Su Yingxue’s eyes in the estate. If any trouble arose, she would be waiting at the entrance for Su Yingxue’s return.

Upon entering, Su Yingxue was informed by Old Madam Zhang, “Miss, two officials came today to complain with the Master. They are currently in the main hall. The Master sent someone to wait at our courtyard entrance to intercept you.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue changed direction and headed straight to the main hall. She asked, “Do you recognize the two officials?”

Old Madam Zhang replied, “One is Lord Liang, who has previously visited the estate. The other one is an unfamiliar lord. He seems to be injured, limping and covering his face!”

With a clear understanding, Su Yingxue instructed Old Madam Zhang and Zhilan to return to the courtyard first while she proceeded to the main hall.

The reception hall of the Marquis’s Manor had two redwood pillars supporting the spacious hall. Inside, the decorations were exquisite, and a faint fragrance lingered.

There were people seated in the three designated positions.

When Su Yingxue came in, the atmosphere was very tense. It was as if the air had stopped circulating..
