Chapter 517: Let Su Han Apologize

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

The few uncles and aunts had all moved out of the Marquis’s Manor in a fit of pique and established their own families. Grandpa frequently went on expeditions and had no time to attend to family matters. As a result, the Su family was now under the control of Su Dingheng and Su Yurou.

Now that she was the head of the Marquis’s Manor, she had expelled deceitful individuals and was determined to rebuild the family.

In the Regional Prince’s Mansion, Chu Xiaotian hastily returned home. His military and administrative duties were not yet complete, so he first went to study. After dealing with official matters, he proceeded to his father’s room for a conversation.

In the room, the Old Regional Prince sighed, and Madam Sheng, in pain from applying medicine, had awakened several times, crying and lamenting. Upon seeing her son, she clung to his clothes, crying breathlessly. “If you had come back any later, you wouldn’t have seen your mother! I’m being bullied by that woman in your room!”

Chu Xiaotian helped her up, his handsome face exhibiting a hint of coldness. “Mother offended Ninth Imperial Uncle today. It has nothing to do with Han’er.”

“How can it not to do with her?” Madam Sheng widened her eyes. “If it weren’t for that woman in your room being dramatic and making her mother call Su Yingxue, why would Su Yingxue bring Ninth Prince here? How would I end up like this?”

Madam Sheng twisted the cause and effect into a convoluted explanation, attempting to shift the blame onto Su Han.

Chu Xiaotian wasn’t easily deceived. “If Mother had allowed Han’er to seek medical attention early, you wouldn’t be in this state. Su Yingxue’s medical skills are exceptional, and her status is now extraordinary. Despite knowing that Ninth Imperial Uncle protects her, Mother publicly insulted her. Do you now understand how formidable Ninth Imperial Uncle is?”

Chu Xiaotian’s words left Madam Sheng speechless.

Both he and his father knew that Ninth Imperial Uncle was highly esteemed and untouchable, even by the emperor. He protected Su Yingxue, yet his mother persistently labeled her as a woman of low character. How could this situation be acceptable?

Not killing his mother was already a concession to the Regional Prince’s Mansion’s reputation.

The Old Regional Prince sipped his tea and rebuked Madam Sheng. “You accused me before, saying you wanted your son to come back and take charge. Listen to what he said. Do you still think I was wrong? Ninth Imperial Brother was the former Emperor’s favorite, and even Imperial Brother wouldn’t dare speak to him like this. You insulted his beloved, aren’t you asking for trouble?” “You… You useless pair! You let me suffer in vain, and each one of you fears that Chu Yihan… I don’t want to live anymore! Ah!”

Madam Sheng pounded her chest and stomped her feet, crying incessantly. She even pulled out a white silk to hang herself.

Chu Xiaotian, troubled by her antics, suggested bringing Su Han to apologize. Only then did Madam Sheng abandon her suicidal thoughts.

Su Han couldn’t fall asleep. When Chu Xiaotian woke her up and saw his handsome face, her grievance turned into tears. She wanted to jump into his arms and cry.

However, Chu Xiaotian merely said, “Mother was beaten today and is upset. Go apologize to her and let her rest early.”

“Mother, she…” Su Han’s tears were held back in her eyes, and her heart felt bitter.

Sitting on the bed with her head lowered, she refused to move.

Chu Xiaotian sat in front of her, asking, “What’s wrong? It’s already late and Mother is already injured. If she doesn’t rest, it will be difficult for her to recover. Go quickly and coax Mother to sleep.”

Su Han tightly gripped the blanket, her knuckles turning white. The grievance in her heart was like a volcano about to erupt. Tears streamed down her cheeks, and she spoke in a low, hoarse voice.. “Is your mother the only one in your heart? Are you not going to inquire about my well-being?”
