The marriage that once satisfied her, even making her feel like she had climbed the social ladder, was instantly devalued by Su Yingxue after encountering her.
Su Xinlan sighed. Originally, it was she who had sabotaged the marriage arrangements within the Prime Minister’s family, ruining the engagement between the young master and the daughter of a minor official, just so Ye Zhenzhen could have the chance to marry into it.
But now, she wasn’t satisfied again.
Su Xinlan felt exhausted.
“Mother, we can’t always be so short-sighted. Now that we have the chance to fight for it and become the noblest woman in the world, how can you just watch me submit to someone else?” Ye Zhenzhen said coquettishly. “Who knows, Su Yingxue might even become the empress in the future, the mother of the world. What if she doesn’t like us and kills us with a wave of her hand?”
Su Xinlan felt a chill at the back of her neck. She quickly hugged her neck and rolled her eyes. “This… This can’t happen! Su Yingxue, that little slut, has been trying to curry favor with the eldest brother and third brother’s families. She’s targeting us, allowing her to climb to the position of empress. Not to mention you and me, even your younger brother will have to pay with his life. If we die, the title and property will fall into the hands of that sickly child. I would be so angry!”
She had planned for so many years, finally managing to anger that sickly person in the West Garden to death. She married off her daughters and ruined her son’s future, all the benefits falling on her children.
She had been working hard for so many years. If it was destroyed in Su Yingxue’s hands, she would not die in peace!
Thinking of this, she began to conspire with Ye Zhenzhen. “Daughter, you must marry into the Ninth Prince’s Mansion! In the future, who will be the woman by the Ninth Prince’s side? It’s still uncertain!”
Ye Zhenzhen smiled proudly. “Yes! If I become the empress in the future, Mother, you will be a first-rank madam!”
Su Xinlan covered her mouth and laughed.
This beautiful dream allowed her to have a good night’s sleep.
A few days later, she returned to the Marquis’s Manor.
Su Qingzhi was busy preparing for Su Yingxue’s wedding. He followed Chu Yihan’s instructions and did not put Su Yingxue under any pressure. He would rather have everyone in the Marquis’s Manor busy than let Su Yingxue be busy.
Therefore, this month, Su Qingzhi called his sons, daughters, and granddaughters back to the manor to stay for a long time to prepare for Su Yingxue’s marriage.
Su Dingwei and Qin Wan had received Su Yingxue’s favor, so they naturally respected her. Qin Wan and Su Han were especially careful with the decorations in the inner manor. Even Madam Yin had moved to the Marquis’s Manor. To thank Su Yingxue for taking care of Su Miaoyan and making her fair and fat, Madam Yin also treated Su Yingxue’s marriage as her daughter’s marriage and did her best.
It was rare for Su Qingzhi to see all his children so united, so he was naturally very happy.
However, Qin Wan suddenly came to tell him, “Father, Aunt is back. She said she wants to see you and is waiting in the front hall.”
Su Qingzhi was drawing up the guest list for the Marquis’s Manor. When he heard this, he frowned. “Tell her to go back and not come to the Marquis’s Manor for no reason!”
He had three sons and a daughter. Su Xinlan was the only one he hated the most.
Su Dingheng had been mediocre and useless in his life. Fortunately, he had been taught a lesson by Su Yingxue and obediently stayed in the Marquis’s Manor as a good-for-nothing. He could not help, but at least he did not cause trouble.
However, Su Xinlan was always restless and always wanted to cause trouble.
If it wasn’t for Marquis Changxin’s many years of friendship with him, he would have wanted to teach Su Xinlan a lesson every time he saw her. Now, she was still rushing over to cause trouble. He was annoyed when he saw her!
