Su Dingheng covered half of his face, appearing genuinely ashamed. However, the more Su Yingxue looked at him, the angrier she became.

“What gives you the right to defile my mother!”

Faced with this accusation, Su Dingheng was taken aback, but more than that, he felt helpless. “I just thought I had picked up a cheap deal…”

Little did he know that what he had picked up was a colossal fortune and an unprecedented rise to prominence.

“Yingxue, don’t leave. I’m afraid that you will leave like your mother. I…”

Su Dingheng’s face was filled with shame as he clutched Su Yingxue’s hand as if it were a lifeline.

Su Yingxue coldly shook off his hand. “You won’t die.”

However, she saw no reason to make his life too easy.

Fueled by a well of anger, Su Yingxue headed to Qingxin Court. After Liu Shulan was moved back, she had already stationed guards here.

As she reached the courtyard entrance, Su Yurou pounced on her. “Su Yingxue, who do you think you are to treat my mother like this?”

Her hairpin was disheveled, and her eyes were red. After enduring the upheavals of the past day and night, she seemed to have lost all vitality. Now, unable to find Liu Shulan, she resembled a lost and distressed chick.

Su Yingxue lifted her chin and sneered. “Because I’m the legitimate daughter of the Marquis’s Manor, your elder sister. And because I can save our father, who was harmed by you!”

Su Yurou trembled, panic evident in her eyes. “We didn’t… I didn’t harm Daddy!”

“So, was it solely your mother’s idea?” Su Yingxue deliberately arched an eyebrow.

“No! My mother, she… Su Yingxue, you’re the one who harmed Father! It was you who harmed Daddy! You should be punished and go to hell! It should be you!”

Su Yurou shouted without any coherence.

In Su Yingxue’s eyes, she was nothing more than a grasshopper in late autumn.

She would let Su Yurou hop about however Su Yurou pleased.

She instructed Zhilan, “Have someone keep an eye on her here. Let her scream all she wants. Even if she doesn’t scream, make sure she causes a commotion!”

A hint of darkness flashed in her eyes, and her expression was so cold that it instilled fear.

Zhilan complied and bowed. “Yes, Miss!”

Su Yingxue entered the courtyard alone, pushing open the door to Liu Shulan’s room. A frown appeared on her face as the scent of blood reached her nose.

Saint Ruan, holding a bottle, was casually lounging with one leg propped up on the table.

His tone was flippant and carefree. “I must ask, what exactly are you thinking about? Messing with her, not killing her, beating her half to death, and then having me apply medicine? I understand you let me apply the medicine to her, but you want me only to apply half of the medicine. Do you want to dote on her until she’s half-dead?”

Having experienced Su Yingxue’s Intoxicating Fragrance, Saint Ruan felt that it wasn’t her usual style.

Swift, precise, and ruthless!

That was more like her!

Su Yingxue threw him a glance. “Thanks. You can leave now.”

Saint Ruan was left speechless.

He cast a sidelong look at Su Yingxue as if she were some scum. “Brutal!”

So, she was just going to send him away?

“Su Yingxue, what exactly… What are you trying to achieve? What more do you want!”

On the bed, Liu Shulan was left with only half of her life, shouting desperately.

Her voice echoed as if she were a dying fish. She knew she was powerless, yet as she watched Su Yingxue’s approach, an overwhelming fear spread through her heart.

Su Yingxue approached, lifting Liu Shulan’s chin. She smiled softly and said, “You won’t die now. Do you know that?”

Liu Shulan panted weakly. “What do you want?”

“I want to know some things, and I need to hear them from you.” Su Yingxue’s voice remained cold.

Her composure resembled an iceberg, radiating an aura of coldness and intimidation.

However, Liu Shulan did not have the strength to dodge at all..
