Su Yingxue curled her lips. The sharp glint in her eyes was like a lion that was about to hunt.
However, if Liu Shulan didn’t accept Su Yingxue’s suggestion, she would be captured by Liang Jin and sent back to the Capital Prefecture prison. Compared to the Marquis’s Manor, no one would be stupid enough to choose the prison.
The anguish was palpable.
But what monstrous capabilities did Su Yingxue hold to tear her apart?
Liu Shulan gritted her teeth. “Su Yingxue, 1 won’t let you torment me! I’ll confess to my sins!”
“You’ve got some backbone,” Su Yingxue chuckled. “But you’ve forgotten, your daughter Su Yurou remains in the Marquis’s Manor. How long do you think she’ll survive against me? Imagine, once you’re in Capital Prefecture’s prison, how I might employ means to torture her to death.”
Fear widened Liu Shulan’s eyes.
Looking down at her fingers, Su Yingxue joked, “The Intoxicating Fragrance 1 used on Saint Ruan before. Even he struggled to detoxify it. This poison is ruthless. If I use it on Su Yurou…”
“Su Yingxue, you’re despicable! If you harm my daughter, the Marquis won’t spare you!” Liu Shulan bared her teeth, a protective mother beast.
“My father doesn’t care about you anymore. Will he care about Su Yurou? With the mother gone, how will the daughter survive?”
Su Yingxue’s words carried years of resentment, etching into Liu Shulan’s mind.
Liu Shulan widened her eyes in horror. “How could this be…”
Why did she say that? She had uttered those words years ago!
When Long Shuli passed away, she scornfully remarked, “Mother is dead, how can a daughter survive?”
But then, Su Yingxue had Old General Su’s protection.
“Aunt, Father doesn’t care now, Grandfather is distant, and Su Jinxuan can’t even enter the Marquis’s Manor. How much effort do you think it’ll take for me to end your daughter?”
Su Yingxue’s laughter was scorned mercilessly.
Liu Shulan felt her heart torn, but when she glanced at Su Yurou’s confused gaze, she gritted her teeth. “I promise you.”
Approaching Liang Jin, she knelt. “Lord Liang, although I’ve filed a complaint, I have the right to withdraw it. If we do, this case…”
“Don’t even think about it! Does a murderer want to withdraw charges? Do 1 not exist?” Liang Jin scolded.
Pointing at Su Yingxue, he said, “1 disagree. She was framed by you. Why would she agree?”
“I agree.” Su Yingxue raised her hand calmly.
Three voices echoed, all saying the same thing.
Saint Ruan glanced at Su Yingxue. He wanted to determine if she had gone crazy from the surgery.
Su Dingheng was momentarily shocked, but he immediately hid under the blanket when Su Yingxue looked over.
Liang Jin was the most puzzled. “Su Yingxue, she wronged you and wants to kill you. Yet, you agreed to let her withdraw charges?”
Su Yingxue nodded, indicating her sanity, and analyzed for Liang Jin. “This case troubles you, Lord Liang. But it’s an internal matter of the Marquis’s Manor. We can’t air our dirty laundry. Due to me, the Marquis’s Manor has been in turmoil.. If we imprison Lady Liu now, won’t the Marquis’s Manor become a mockery in Jiang Du City?”
