âI and sister donât call her aunt at all! She tried to harm my two sisters. Are sisters going to let her do that?â Su Miaoyanâs straightforward words immediately enlightened Ye Lingbai.
âThat explains itâ¦â Ye Lingbai muttered.
However, he immediately frowned and shouted angrily, âSu Xinlan truly harms everyone around her! For her benefit, she doesnât even spare her nieces. Such a wicked woman deserves no good end!â
âHow she meets her end will depend on Madam and your actions,â Su Yingxue smiled and pointed to the pile of medicine on the table.
âThese are the medicines Iâve prescribed for Madam. They will ensure her recovery and protect her from Su Xinlanâs harm. When Madam is well enough to get out of bed, youâre welcome to visit the Marquis of Martial Southâs Manor anytime.â
Xu Aoqingâs pale lips tightened with resolve. âI will not let down Miss Suâs goodwill!â
Though still a pale, sickly patient, Su Yingxue saw a spark of determination in Xu Aoqingâs eyes and smiled in satisfaction.
âSu Yingxue, you might have a grudge against me, but why take it out on my sister? If anything happens to her, can you bear the responsibility?â Su Xinlanâs shouting drew closer.
Instinctively, Ye Lingbai drew his saber and stepped protectively in front of Su Yingxue and Su Miaoyan.
Su Yingxueâs eyes shone with approval.
Su Miaoyan, clinging to Su Yingxueâs arm, said, âSister, he didnât draw his saber earlier, which shows heâs an upright and honest person. No wonder he suffers at Su Xinlanâs hands.â
The upright and honest often suffer when dealing with the cunning and cruel.
Su Yingxue patted her head and praised, âYour ability to read people has improved! But remember, evil never triumphs over good. Someone as treacherous as Su Xinlan will eventually be defeated by justice!â
âBut sometimes, when justice doesnât come by itself, it needs a little help from you, sister!â Su Miaoyan said with a mischievous wink.
Su Yingxue pinched her nose. âWhere did you learn that from?â
Su Miaoyan stuck out her tongue, not answering.
She hadnât learned it from anyone in particular, but perhaps from spending time with her handsome brother and observing how he handled things.
In this world, the first person she admired was Su Yingxue, and the second was her handsome brother.
They were like celestial beings to her!
Su Xinlanâs shouting was a deliberate attempt to ensure everyone in the manor heard her, hoping to throw dirt on Su Yingxueâs name.
But when she walked in and saw the color returning to Xu Aoqingâs face, her heart nearly stopped.
âSister, what is thisâ¦â
Why didnât she look like she was on the brink of death anymore?
Had Su Yingxue treated her?
âSu Yingxue! What have you done to my sister? She holds a noble position, you canât just handle her however you like!â Su Xinlan spat out through gritted teeth.
She wished she could tear Su Yingxue apart.
This wretched woman!
Su Yingxue laughed lightly. âAnyone with eyes can see that Iâve treated Madam, not harmed her. Madam Lan, are your eyes failing too? Would you like me to treat them as well?â
âYouâ¦â Su Xinlan choked on her words.
Ye Lingbai looked at Su Yingxue in surprise. She truly dared to speak her mind!
In the strict and disciplined Changxin Marquisâs Manor, they hated Su Xinlan in private but never dared to insult her openly.
Yet, Su Yingxue could speak so freely and comfortably.
It was truly enviable.
