Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ye Lingbai was stunned for a moment. “You… your surname is also Su?”
” What else would it be? Do you hate everyone with the surname Su so much? Do you think every person with the surname Su is a bad person?” Su Miaoyan’s voice was crisp, carrying a hint of interrogation.
Ye Lingbai’s eyes darkened momentarily. “People with the surname Su are all bad!”
Especially Su Xinlan!
“There are countless people with the surname Su in this world. Is Young Master Ye going to condemn all of them?” Su Yingxue handed some medicine to Old Madam Sang and said, “This is not the rational behavior one would expect from the heir of a Marquis’ Manor.”
The title “heir” hurt Ye Lingbai like a sharp weapon. He gripped his saber tightly, his eyes red as he glared at Su Yingxue. “I’m no longer the heir!”
This revelation surprised Su Yingxue.
She only knew that in her previous life, two years later, Xu Aoqing died, Su Xinlan became the primary wife, and her son Ye Hong was made the heir of the Changxin Marquis’s Manor. She hadn’t expected that Ye Lingbai had already lost his position as the heir.
“Eldest Young Master, don’t speak nonsense! Even though the Marquis talked about stripping you of the title, to officially remove an heir and appoint a new one requires reporting to the court and getting the emperor’s approval. As long as Madam is alive, your title as heir won’t be taken away! Young Master, don’t lose faith in yourself!”
Old Madam Sang’s eyes were filled with bitter tears, but she still tried to encourage Ye Lingbai.
Ye Lingbai gripped the saber in his hand but had no outlet for his emotions, feeling very uncomfortable.
“Instead of causing pain to your loved ones and joy to your enemies, wouldn’t it be better for Young Master Ye to think about how to keep your position as heir and plan for the future?” Su Yingxue smiled and led Su Miaoyan back to Xu Aoqing’s room.
Xu Aoqing was still coughing, but her complexion looked better compared to when she was kept in long-term confinement.
Su Yingxue had prepared two types of medicine for her. One was a decoction that required long-term use, and the other was a pill from Medicine King Valley, primarily made of peppermint with other supplements, designed to stop coughing and soothe the lungs.
Su Yingxue gave Xu Aoqing a pill and had her swallow it, then asked her to take a few deep breaths to feel the medicine’s effects.
With each breath, Xu Aoqing felt like a broom was sweeping away the phlegm accumulated in her lungs.
Old Madam Sang emptied the phlegm bowl and saw a hint of color return to Xu Aoqing’s face.
Old Madam Sang wept with joy. “Madam, your complexion looks much better!”
She wanted to kneel and thank Su Yingxue, but Su Yingxue pulled her up. “There’s no need for that.”
“Mother, how do you feel? Is she… a doctor here to treat you?”
If he hadn’t seen his mother’s improved complexion with his own eyes, Ye Lingbai would never have believed that someone with the surname Su would come to treat his mother.
“Could it be fake? My sister didn’t come to treat her just to fight with you!” Su Miaoyan raised her small face and snorted.
Ye Lingbai was instantly at a loss for words.
“What? Fighting? Ling’er, did you fight with Miss Su? Kneel!” Xu Aoqing immediately put on a stern face.
Ye Lingbai obediently knelt by her bedside and listened to her scold him. “How have I taught you? A real man must not act impulsively. You learned martial arts to protect the family and the nation, not to fight with women. Your behavior is utterly unacceptable!”
Xu Aoqing was so angry that she coughed heavily again, spitting out bloody phlegm.
