Although Zhilan was Su Yingxueâs closest maid, she had personally experienced a lifetime of blood feuds. Other than herself, no one else could understand it.
So, Su Yingxue didnât share much with Zhilan.
After Zhilan left, Su Dingheng stormed in angrily. âSu Yingxue, you have everything now. Why wonât you even grant your sister a funeral? Sheâs your biological sister!â
Su Yingxueâs lips curled in a mocking arc.
Sorry, she had discarded that relationship when she returned to this life.
âOh.â
She responded casually, then turned another page of the medical book, engrossed in her reading.
âSu Yingxue, are you even listening to me?â Su Dingheng pounded his chest and stamped his feet. His frustration towards Su Yingxue boiled down to a single sentence. He knew that the power of the Marquisâs Manor was now in her hands, so he could only persuade her gently, âJust think of it as a fatherâs plea. Give Rouâer a proper funeral, let her rest in peace, and allow her name to be recorded in the Su familyâs genealogy.â
Su Dingheng was a grown man, but he lowered his head and wiped his tears in front of Su Yingxue. If she was a soft-hearted person, she would have agreed to his request long ago.
However, Su Yingxue remained focused on her medical book, responding with just three words, âItâs not possible.â
Su Dingheng was so infuriated that he nearly fainted again.
However, as Su Yingxue sought medical attention exclusively from a doctor and refused to examine him herself, he couldnât afford to let himself become too weakened. After all, someone needed to take care of Su Yurouâs remains.
Su Dingheng struggled to support his body and staggered out.
Zhilan followed Su Yingxueâs instructions, preventing Su Dingheng from breaking out of the residence.
During Su Dinghengâs disturbance in the manor, Su Yingxue whispered something into Zhilanâs ear.
Though Zhilan was puzzled, she obediently followed Su Yingxueâs instructions.
Su Dingheng managed to break out of the manor, but he had no idea where to find Su Yurouâs corpse. He just wanted to escalate the situation, believing that Su Yingxue wouldnât be able to handle it and that she would eventually give Su Yurou a proper burial.
His first destination was the palace, but Chu Mingyuan refused to see him.
Su Yingxue made Chu Mingyuan gnash his teeth in hatred. He couldnât do anything to Su Yingxue now, so he wouldnât meet that trash Su Dingheng.
Su Dingheng was rebuffed and went to the Capital Prefecture to accuse Su Yingxue of abusing her sister and not allowing Su Yurouâs body to be collected.
Liang Jin had also heard about this matter, but when entertaining Su Dingheng, he said, âI heard that Second Young Miss framed Eldest Young Miss, and she died in the palace. Thatâs why Eldest Young Miss is in this state. Although itâs not in line with etiquette, itâs not a problem in terms of the law.â
The meaning behind his words was that he was unwilling to interfere with the pile of rotten matters in Su Dinghengâs residence.
Anyone who went would be in trouble.
Moreover, if the law brought this matter to him, Liang Jin would sentence Su Yurou heavily. She deserved her fate.
Su Dingheng had no one to turn to, so he could only go from house to house and look for Su familyâs relatives, his brother, third brother, and younger sister. But which family of theirs did not have discerning eyes?
Previously, Su Yingxue had even generously gifted clothes and jewelry to her cousins. She was generous and considerate of her family. She was unlike Su Dingheng, who became arrogant ever since inheriting the title of nobility. He even made them split up and set up their own families.
It would be strange if they offended Su Yingxue for Su Dingheng!
