Novel Bin Chapter 5
Chapter 5
“Silly girl, it’s better to make it again than to ask for it. Moreover, my brother also needs medicine. I have to go and pick some more medicine.” Su Yingxue patted her head to comfort her, but she actually had other plans.
She was nimble and would not be discovered even if she left the residence quietly. However, she deliberately left through the main door so that the gatekeeper could see her so that he could report to Su Dingheng and Su Yurou.
She had taken out so many Blood Clotting Herbs from the Medicine King Valley for no reason, and it would certainly arouse suspicion. She had gone out this time to deliberately look like she was picking herbs for them to see.
Su Yingxue deliberately slowed down her pace. After letting the people from the Marquis’s Manor catch up, she ran to the mountain outside the city. After turning around twice, she lost them.
The two servants looked at each other. “Where is she? Where did the Eldest Young Miss go?”
“I’m asking you! I told you to keep an eye on her, but you lost her. Let’s see how you explain this to the Marquis when you go back!”
Su Yingxue saw the two of them leave, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She was about to enter the Medicine King Valley when a gust of wind blew.
“Whoosh!”
With the sound of an arrow, Su Yingxue immediately turned around and dodged. A wild wolf fell behind her, and before it could howl twice, it died.
Su Yingxue looked in the direction where the arrow came from and saw a tall man standing not far away.
Su Yingxue asked in confusion, “You saved me?”
Before the other party could say anything, Su Yingxue had already noticed the figure of another person.
She had never been afraid of the dark or ghosts, but the appearance of this person made her feel a chill all over her body, and an invisible pressure approached her.
The man’s thin lips parted slightly, and his low and hoarse voice was magnetic. “Su Yingxue.”
He called out her name accurately.
Su Yingxue instantly began to think. Which big shot had she offended?
In the past, when she was manipulated by Su Yurou, she had offended quite a number of reputable people. This also paved the way for her tragic death in her previous life.
Su Yingxue sized him up with the help of the moonlight. Although she couldn’t see his true appearance, his facial features were well-defined and exceptionally perfect. He must be a handsome man!
In Jiang Du City, the most handsome man was the Seventh Prince, Chu Chengye.
He knew her, could it be…
“Seventh Prince?”
The man’s anger was instantly aroused. His cold and deep voice was filled with bloodthirsty anger. “Say that again!”
“I won’t say anymore.” Su Yingxue shrunk her neck. This man was too terrifying. She didn’t want to provoke the Seventh Prince anymore. She turned around and wanted to run.
However, the man had already grasped her movements and caught up to her easily. He even hugged her and Su Yingxue felt as if something had been taken away by him.
When she ran to the light, the man who had lost his temper for no reason was gone. The jade pendant on her belt had also disappeared.
“A rapist?”
Su Yingxue gritted her teeth. She better not bump into this person in the future. Otherwise, she would skin him alive!
The Ninth Prince’s Mansion.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Mo Qi would never have believed that his Royal Highness, who hadn’t been close to a woman for thirty years, had personally stolen a lady’s jade pendant.
To put it nicely, it was smooth, but to put it bluntly…
“Master, there are thousands of jade pendants in the Prince’s mansion, but you don’t even care to take a look at them. Why do you only care about Su Yingxue’s jade pendant?” Mo Qi really couldn’t endure this doubt for the rest of the night.
It was too shocking!
Chu Chengye’s purple robe fluttered even though there was no wind. His eyes were almost seductive as he held the jade pendant with his slender and well-defined hands. His voice was low and hoarse. “Because it belongs to Su Yingxue. She took the initiative to provoke me.”
Mo Qi was speechless.
Master, are you sure you didn’t take the initiative to provoke her?
Martial South Marquis Manor.
Two servants came to report to Su Dingheng that they had lost Su Yingxue.
Su Dingheng scolded angrily, “Two pieces of trash! You can’t even keep an eye on her, what’s the use of keeping you around!”
“Father.”
On the bed, Su Yurou’s voice was weak, and her delicate face was pale and fragile. “Sister might have gone to pick herbs for me. Daddy, don’t blame her wrongly. When sister comes back, you should comfort her.”
“Are you crazy? My silly daughter, she ate all the thousand-year-old ginseng, causing you to lie in bed and unable to recover, yet you still put in a good word for her!” Su Dingheng looked at his daughter, whom he doted on like his dearest darling, and his heart was filled with thorns.
Why didn’t he kill Su Yingxue?
If he had killed her earlier, would she still be alive to eat the ginseng?
And she ate all of them without leaving any for Yurou?
Just thinking about it was detestable!
A hint of malice shone in Su Yurou’s eyes. Su Yingxue had always listened to her and occasionally lost her temper. She had always used her father’s power to tame her, but now she had pushed her into the water three times and even taken away the most precious thousand-year-old ginseng in the house. How despicable!
She must make her spit it out and return it to her!
She was the daughter that Su Dingheng held in his heart. In this Marquis’s Manor, no one would say that she wasn’t the honorable legitimate daughter. Su Yingxue was rude and was not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as her!
“Father, I don’t believe that sister would be like this. Even if she really ate all the ginseng, I… I have no complaints.” Two drops of tears flowed out of Su Yurou’s long eyelashes, and her pinkish white face became even more pitiful. The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))
The anger in Su Dingheng’s heart grew even more intense. Now that the old master was fighting at the border, he had the power of the Marquis’s Manor. If he couldn’t even control Su Yingxue, then he would become a joke. When the old master returned, paid more attention to Su Yingxue, it would probably threaten the power in his hands. He definitely couldn’t let such a thing happen.
Su Yingxue returned to the residence with a body full of morning dew. She knew that Su Dingheng would not have anything good waiting for her, but she did not expect him to make such a big fuss.
Everyone in the Marquis’s Manor was standing outside the hall.
Su Yurou dragged her sickly body along as well.
However, her treatment was excellent. The chair was covered with a goose feather cushion, and she was draped in a pure white fox fur coat. Even the golden hairpin in her hair was inlaid with rubies. This kind of lineup made her seem like the mistress of this Marquis’ Manor.
Su Dingheng was worried about her health and did not dare to speak too loudly.
“Why are you standing at the door? Unfilial daughter, get in here and kneel!”
Unfilial daughter.
Su Yingxue curled her lips and stood straight in front of Su Dingheng with an indifferent expression. “Father, what’s the matter?”
“Su Yingxue, as the first daughter of the Marquis’s Manor, not only did you not love your sisters and unite the family, you even stole the ginseng and Blood Clotting Grass from the pharmacy.” Su Dingheng clutched his chest. It really looked like he was having a heart attack.
He casually threw a booklet and half a bottle of medicine in front of Su Yingxue. “Everyone in the Marquis’s Manor knows that there are many medicinal herbs in the Marquis’s Manor’s pharmacy that are military supplies. Anyone who takes them must register them in the books. If you use them as you wish, it’s no different from stealing! Where do you place the Marquis’s Manor and the soldiers who are loyal to the Marquis’s Manor!”
Su Dingheng publicly reprimanded her. The people who despised Su Yingxue in the Marquis’s Mansion hated her even more.
“She’s the Eldest Young Miss, yet she stole her own family’s herbs!”
“Marquis, you must punish her severely this time!”
“That’s right! Look at Miss Yurou, this is the demeanor of a legitimate daughter!”
