"This matter, and the matter with Sumire Xi, just bear with it for now, don't be too flamboyant." Who would have known, Su Yuanqing actually allowed them to hold back, "Earlier, Sumire Xi pushed Su Xiruo into Snake Pond, you and I both know about this, it's impossible that Su Xiruo herself doesn't know, if she were to reveal this, then Xixi's reputation will be ruined!"

What Su Jinxi did a year ago, Su Yuanqing was already well aware of it. In order to protect her reputation, he had no choice but to spread the news, saying that Su Xiruo was unable to bear the burden and committed suicide!

Currently, Su Jinxi had an engagement with the Prince Anxian, and was the Prince Anxian's fiancee.

He couldn't afford the consequences.

Mrs Zhang was immediately displeased. "But, are we supposed to just allow Su Xiruo to continue being so impudent? In the past, Pang Xi was forced to do this, and it was not intentional. Furthermore, Su Xiruo is fine now, right? "

"Alright!" Su Yuanqing had a headache, and interrupted her, "When we go back, I'll go talk to Su Xiruo personally. As for Summoning Xi, we won't be able to avoid this month of confinement, but, I've already hired a doctor to treat her arms!"

Su Yuanqing was startled. Seeing that Mrs Zhang was still not satisfied, he continued to console him: "Alright, Ning Xue, I promise you, it will be like before. Treat you guys nicely, I won't let you guys suffer anymore."

"Master, I'll listen to you." Mrs Zhang bit his lower lip and finally came to a compromise.

She knew that the old master still sided with the mother and daughter pair, so she was relieved.

Su Xiruo arrived at the side hall where the Old Mistress was staying, and just as he entered, he heard a series of coughing sounds.

"Grandma, are you sick?" Su Xiruo hurriedly asked in concern when he saw Old Mistress handing the medicine bowl over to him.

"Sigh, I've gotten old." Old Mistress let out a faint sigh, pulling Su Xiruo by her side, allowing her to sit beside him, "Since a year ago, when I thought that you had passed away, I have always been unable to eat or sleep.

Su Xiruo was a little worried, he then instructed: "Qing Yuan, take some of the pills to the kitchen and have someone cook them for Old Mistress!"

"Yes sir!" Qing Yuan immediately did as he was told.

"Ruo Er, don't worry. Now that you've returned to my side, my illness will naturally be cured." Old Mistress was extremely happy when he saw Su Xiruo.

Su Xiruo felt a little guilty. In the past, his granny had always been good to him, but now, he might not stay in the Su Family for too long.

However, for her grandmother's sake, she was still willing to stay for a period of time. At least, she would help her grandma recuperate first.

"Grandma, I'll always be with you from now on." Su Xiruo laughed gently.

"Tell me about this year. What have you experienced outside? I really want to know."

"Alright." Thus, Su Xiruo began to talk about the important parts of the story. She only mentioned a few things that weren't really important, and there were some things that she couldn't easily talk about.

A year ago, she took back a life from the Snake Pond. Not only did she survive, she also absorbed all the poison from the poisonous snakes into her body, and became a Poison Master with a special physique!

But she could not control so much poison herself, it was a good thing that her foster father appeared and brought her back, turning the poison in her body into Spiritual Strength and teaching her how to cultivate.

Speaking of which, it could be considered as a blessing in disguise!

However, she did not inform Old Mistress about this part. After all, her foster father's identity was too special, so it was not convenient for him to reveal it. She only said that she had narrowly escaped death, but was heavily injured, and had been saved by a kind person.

After accompanying Old Mistress and chatting for around four hours, Su Xiruo finally decided to leave.

"Child, this year you've really suffered a lot. In the future, grandmother will definitely not let you suffer any more." Hearing her experience, Old Mistress felt heartache.

"Ruo Er will also properly show his filial piety to Grandma." Su Xiruo laughed, and his tone sounded extremely serious.

"I've already arranged for someone to prepare a room for you next to my side hall. You can come over often from now on!" Old Mistress seemed to be very reluctant.

"Yes, it's very late today, please rest early grandmother, Ruo Er will come again tomorrow to see you!" After Su Xiruo finished speaking, he took Qing Yuan and left for his own room.

Arriving at the side room, Su Xiruo scrutinized it for a moment. Regardless of the location or the decorations, the side room was actually not bad at all.

Su Xiruo stepped into the room and was about to take a bath and rest when he saw Su Yuanqing sitting in the outer hall.

"Master." Su Xiruo did not call him father, because in her heart, she had never recognized this father.

This so-called father had almost beaten him to death in front of the crowd today. He probably didn't care about his own life or death at all!

"Xiruo, you don't have to be so reserved with your father. Sit!" Although Su Yuanqing's words sounded quite polite, they still carried a sense of alienation and indifference.

Su Xiruo then sat down on a seat at the side, without a trace of politeness.

"Go and pour the young mistress a cup of tea!" Only after Su Yuanqing separated Qing Yuan from him did he feel at ease to say some heartfelt words.

"Master, if you have something to say, just say it. I'm a little tired, I want to rest early." Su Xiruo could probably guess why Yun Che had come to find him.

"That one." Su Yuanqing was a little embarrassed, "Your father is very happy that you managed to return, so of course I won't chase you away. However, you should know that now that Sumire Xi is Prince Anxian's fiancee, her reputation is extremely important. Therefore, father hopes that you can get along well with her and not ruin her reputation."

Su Xiruo coldly snorted, the more he heard, the more he found it laughable, "Heh, old master, so you also know, it was Su Jinxi who pushed me down the Snake Pond, making me feel worse than death, but you remained indifferent, acting as if nothing had happened, right?"

"No, Xiruo." Su Yuanqing quickly denied it, "It's just that at that time, Sumire Xi was already involved with Prince Anxian, so that matter shouldn't be exposed!"

In the end, it was all to get close to the royal family!

"Master, you wish for me to treat Su Jinxi as my younger sister, but you have never treated me as my daughter, and have never even considered for me!" Su Xiruo coldly said, "I have been bullied, and now you want me to bear the shame and hide Su Jinxi's crime? Heh, my head isn't filled with water! "

"You!" Su Yuanqing was a little angry, "Don't you dare not see good for what's good, Su Xiruo, I will give you a way out. If it wasn't for Old Mistress's face, you would have been forced out of the Prime Minister'S Estate by me today!"

"If it wasn't for grandmother and mother, Master wouldn't have been able to climb to his current position, right?" Su Xiruo was not afraid of him at all, she got up and retorted, "Aren't you afraid of retribution after master's actions?"

"How dare you!" Su Yuanqing was furious, he slapped his opponent.

Su Xiruo did not stand there stupidly while being slapped on the face. Instead, he took a step back and dodged the attack: "Old master, before you hit me, you better think carefully, if you really do attack, tomorrow, Old Mistress will know, and everyone in the capital will know, what kind of ruthless and cold-blooded person you, Su Yuanqing, are!"

"Shut up!" Su Yuanqing became angry from embarrassment, roared, and did not dare to actually make a move.

He knew that the current Su Xiruo was not someone who was easy to deal with. If he dared to make a move, she dared to make a big fuss out of it and embarrass him.

Thinking up to here, Su Yuanqing could only snort coldly: "Alright, remember what you said today!"

Throwing these words down, Su Yuanqing left in a huff.

At this time, Qing Yuan just happened to come in and when he saw Su Yuanqing leaving in such an aggressive manner, he could guess what had happened.

"Mistress, you really are impolite. You've angered the prime minister to the point of running away." Qing Yuan's tone actually carried a little pride in it, "If High Lord knew, he would definitely praise you!"
