Chapter 353: Su Dingheng Wanted to Invite Liu Shulan and Her Daughter Back

Su Yingxue pulled out the letter left by her mother. Her mother had written about Saint Ruan, particularly detailing the records about the Intoxicating Fragrance, which essentially was Saint Ruan’s romantic life.

Saint Ruan had exceptional talent as a young physician. He had a childhood sweetheart as his fiancee, whom he loved deeply. However, Saint Ruan was too wild and unbridled. Upon the prodigal’s return, seeking to marry her, Saint Ruan discovered that his fiancee had married someone else.

This rejection devastated Saint Ruan. In a fit of rage, he poisoned his fiancee’s in-laws to death. He even slowly poisoned his fiancee, desiring to make her suffer lifelong.

In the 10 years after he was betrayed, Saint Ruan developed poisons that were all targeted at women.

The Beauty-Stealing Poison was one of his proudest creations at the time.

For every ounce of pain inflicted on women, he brewed poisons.

However, her mother’s letter disclosed that Saint Ruan watched his elderly fiancee die before his eyes.

Tortured by Saint Ruan’s poison for decades, she never asked him to detoxify her before she died.

From then on, Saint Ruan became even more unrestrained. He altered his appearance to retain perpetual youth, roamed around, and at seventy, still flirted everywhere.

“Tsk, incredibly lascivious.”

After reading the letter’s final page, Su Yingxue inwardly cursed, “Saint Ruan, this scoundrel. Betrayed once, he’s betrayed so many women.”

Su Yingxue couldn’t fathom that the handsome Saint Ruan turned out to be a seventy-year-old man.

From her mother’s letter, she sensed both sympathy and a sense of deserved retribution toward Saint Ruan!

So, following her mother’s wishes, she applied the Intoxicating Fragrance to Saint Ruan.

Looking at the letter, her mother’s unrestrained words said, “Make Saint Ruan taste his poison. Even if he doesn’t die, pierce his heart!”

“Haha, Madam is truly amusing!” Zhilan served tea to Su Yingxue and also spotted that line, unable to contain her laughter.

Su Yingxue folded the letter, sipped her tea, and contemplated, “Mother isn’t just amusing, 1 always feel she doesn’t belong here. I’ve never seen anyone more intriguing than her in the Great Cheng Dynasty.”

Not in this life or the previous one.

“Miss, Master wants to see you in the main hall.”

Zhilan informed her after she finished her tea.

Su Yingxue tucked the cards away and went to Su Dingheng.

Lately, Su Dingheng had been very indifferent to her. He was rarely in the Marquis’s Manor and rarely spoke to her. Even when he asked about the matters in the manor, he was very perfunctory, as if he treated her as an outsider.

Of course, Su Yingxue knew that her father had never treated her as his daughter.

“What’s the matter, Father?” She asked as usual.

Su Dingheng didn’t beat around the bush. “My birthday is approaching. Since you handle household affairs, organize a celebration for me.”

“Birthday celebration?” Su Yingxue mused. Su Dingheng was over forty and not yet fifty. Was he expecting a celebration for each scattered birthday?

“What’s the matter? Now that you’re so prestigious and have made connections, you’re unwilling to arrange a celebration for me? If you’re not willing, relinquish control of the estate, and 1 won’t bother you!” Su Dingheng’s impatience was evident, his eyes indifferent.

The corner of Su Yingxue’s lips curved mockingly. “Of course, I’ll organize Father’s celebration. However, I’ve handed over the estate’s authority.. Now that Sister Jinyan has yet to marry into our family, does Father have a suitable replacement for me?”
