There were no pilgrims or visitors in Qingshui Monastery in late autumn, which made the originally quiet monastery look even more desolate.
Su Xiaohe's clothes were tattered, and she sat awkwardly on the stairs. Her loose hair covered her face, and she held a pillow in her arms. Her body swayed left and right, and she kept screaming, "Child... My child..."
"Reborn elder sister, you might never have imagined that you would be able to live like this today, relying on pretending to be crazy and playing dumb!" Su Man'er's embroidered clothes were supported by Qiu He as she walked over slowly. Her beautiful eyes revealed a look of satisfaction when she saw how embarrassed Xiao He was.
She knew that since she was young, there wasn't anything that couldn't be compared to Su Lin He. But why did that bitch, Su Lin He, become the legitimate daughter when she was born? Furthermore, if she wanted to become the legitimate daughter, she had to curry favor with that bitch, Su Lin He. Even if her concubine were to become the main wife, she would always be inferior to that bitch, Su Lin He.
As if he hadn't heard Su Man'er's words, Su Man'er continued to sit there, swaying left and right in a daze.
"Su Linhe, stop pretending. I know you're not crazy." This kind of attitude completely irritated Su Man'er. She went forward and grabbed Su Linhe's hair. Her newly painted blue nails dug into Su Linhe's scalp.
"Do you think Master Hou will come to see you just because you're playing dumb here? Stop dreaming!" Seeing Su Xiaohe's gorgeous face despite his pathetic appearance, jealousy burned in Su Man'man's eyes.
"My good sister, didn't you always want to know how Li'er is doing? As a younger sister, you might as well tell me kindly that your Li'er is dead. Your Li'er was already dead when you moved into this courtyard. So, elder sister, don't expect your son to grow up and save you." Su Man'er's eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty glint.
When he heard Su Man'er's words, Wu He's originally turbid eyes became clear. He looked at Su Man'er with eyes filled with inquiry and suppressed hatred.
She desperately wanted to know Li'er's situation. Wasn't she acting like a fool for Li'er's sake?
Seeing that Su Linhe had finally made a move, Su Man'er's lips curled into a satisfied smile. "Sister, do you want to know how Li'er died? Don't worry, I'll tell you right away."
"Li'er, when I heard that you were sent to Qingshui Nunnery, I came alone to look for you and drowned in the pond." Su Man'er smiled happily. "Speaking of which, it was you who killed Li'er. If you hadn't colluded with someone, Li'er wouldn't have come to Qingshui Nunnery to look for you, and wouldn't have fallen into the pond."
Su Xiaohe kept shaking his head, refusing to believe what he had heard. "Impossible. Master Hou can't just watch Li'er die. It must be you. You said something to Master Hou, didn't you?"
"There's nothing impossible about it. Sister, do you think Master Hou would want a child with an unknown birth father?" Su Man'er scoffed. "Sister, you're still as ' solo' as always! How did you think the man in your room that day came? I asked Qiuhe to put him in."
At this moment, everything was clear!
"I know that I have done my best to you. Why did you harm me and my Li'er like this?" Tears of regret flowed from Su Xuhe's eyes. If she had not trusted the so-called family love and trusted the people around her too much, she would not have ended up like this, and her Li'er would not have died.
Her gaze swept across Qiu He and Su Man'er one by one. "Su Man'er, there will be a day when the truth of what you have done will be revealed. I believe that uncle and cousin will not let you go so easily after they find out the truth."
In response to Wu He's words, Qiu He parted her eyes and didn't dare to look at him. On the other hand, Su Man'er didn't take it to heart. She raised the corners of her lips slightly, gave him a mysterious smile, and continued,
"My good sister, I have forgotten to tell you before. Your uncle was killed by the second prince secretly because he was unwilling to hand over the military power. And your mother, do you really think it's just a difficult task? As for the marquis!"
Then, she shouted charmingly at the outside of the courtyard, "Marquis, when are you going to see it again?"
As soon as Su Man'er finished her voice message, Yu Fangqing came in from outside the door and stopped behind Su Man'er. He put his hands around her waist and lowered his head to blow hot air into Su Man'er's ear.
"Marquis, don't be like this. I'm still watching." Su Man'er twisted her body and said softly. She was completely different from before.
Looking at their familiar movements, it was obvious that this was no longer the first time. Right now, the truth was right in front of her, and she had no choice but to believe it. One blow after another made her almost breathless. She felt as if her heart was about to break. Enduring the sharp pain in her heart, she asked in a hoarse voice, "Since you love Su Man'er, why do you want to marry me again?"
"Do you think you're worthy of being a husband by yourself? A slut from a brothel can match me? How can you be compared to my pure and pure beauty?" Yu Fang played with Su Man's fine hair and said sarcastically. It seemed that he would dirty his eyes if he looked at Su Man'er again.
"I married you because I wanted that old fellow to pass the position of marquis to me."
Qinghe closed his eyes in pain. It turned out that in her husband's heart, she was so unbearable. How could he not know whether she was innocent or not? It was a pity that he only thought that the man in front of him loved her, but he failed to live up to his uncle's efforts. She was sorry for her uncle. If there was an afterlife, she must repay what her uncle had done for her.
"I'll leave this woman to you." Yu Qing suddenly clapped his hands, and then more than a dozen strong men came in from outside the door.
Seeing more than a dozen strong men walking straight toward him, he had a bad feeling and asked in horror, "What, what are you going to do?"
"What are we going to do? Of course, we will serve you well. Don't worry, Madam. I promise that you will be satisfied with my work," said a man.
No, he definitely wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. Wu He struggled to free himself from the old woman who had held him down earlier and ran out of the door with all his might.
"Catch her and tie her up for me." Seeing this, Yu Chuan ordered the servants behind him. Then, he said to Su Man'er, "Baby, you're satisfied now."
"Marquis, will we—" Su Man'er said softly, as if she really felt that she had gone too far. She was trying hard to persuade him.
"Humph, you don't have to plead for that slut. Hasn't Qiuhe already proved that the person who was in the Carefree Pavilion was her own person?" When he thought that the red was fake on the day of the wedding night, and that he had slept with a dirty woman for so many years, the rest of him felt as if he wanted to swallow flies.
"But..." Su Man'er looked as if she wanted to say something, but her eyes were filled with viciousness as she looked at Qin He.
"Well, don't try to persuade me anymore. I know you are kind." As he said this, he lifted Su Man'er's chin and gently kissed her on her lips. How could Su Man'er let go of such an opportunity? She immediately wrapped her arms around Su Man'er's neck and kissed her more deeply.
Looking at the hand getting closer and closer to him, Wu He blurted out in a hurry, "I used to be the Marchioness of Zhongyong. If you really did that, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see the sun tomorrow."
Upon hearing Wu He's words, those large men began to hesitate. They stopped. They looked at each other, while they looked at each other.
"Do you want to see your wife's little head first or do it yourself? Make your own choice." Seeing that those people didn't move, Yu Fang said coldly.
Yu He's words undoubtedly pushed her into a bottomless abyss. She had never imagined that this man would be so heartless and cold-blooded.
"Yu Yang, you bastard, how dare you treat me like this? I curse that you won't die well. Even if you turn into a malicious spirit, I will still pester you all for the rest of your lives, telling you all to never have peace."
Su Xiaohe could clearly see the expressions of those people. Some were dull, some were pitiful, and some were sympathetic. However, no matter how many expressions they had on their faces, they could not change their fate. Her only purpose was to kill her enemy one day. She believed that as long as she was still alive and had one breath left, she would definitely be able to do it.
"Master Hou, let's go back," Su Man'er said in a trembling voice in Yu Lang's arms, as if she was really frightened by Qin He's words.
"Alright, let's go back now." Yu Chuan ignored Su Man'er's words at all. He carried Su Man'er and left the courtyard, which was already desolated to begin with, but had become even more sinister because of Su Man'er's ghost-like voice.
Su Man'er leaned against Yu Qing's shoulder and looked at Wu He with a sinister look in her eyes. Su Xuhe, this was the outcome of opposing me. Anyone who dared to snatch Master Hou from me would end up like this. Did you know?
Due to the fact that he was struggling too hard, the rope which had been used to assist Wu He had already been deeply embedded into his flesh. Dark red blood, along with the torn cloth strips, dripped down onto the ground. However, Wu He didn't seem to feel any pain at all. Staring at the retreating figures of the two of them, he called out helplessly,
"If I, Su Lin He, can walk out of this place alive today, I will definitely make you pay a hundred times over for what you have suffered today. You will never be able to reincarnate." The blood on the ground represented Su Lin He's rapidly losing life.
Perhaps it was because Wu He's voice was too sorrowful, but when Su Man'er's voice entered the ears of the two men who had already gone far away, Su Man'er shrank in Yu Chuan's arms and said, "Marquis, I'm afraid." Her delicate appearance really made me feel sorry for her.
Yu Qing tightened her grip on Su Man'er's delicate hands and said softly, "Don't be afraid. She won't live through tonight." This was the gentleness he had never shown to Wu He.
"Ah..." A hoarse voice sounded in the main room of a yard in the northwest corner of the Prime Minister's mansion. There was a large lotus pond in the yard. Because it was already in the middle of winter, the lotuses in the pond had already withered, which made the yard look even more desolate.
Qin He suddenly opened his eyes. What he saw was a familiar room, a soft blanket, and a beautiful tent. All of the decorations in the room were incomparably exquisite. This was the scene she had dreamed of countless times in the dungeon, as well as the room she had lived in for more than ten years.
"But isn't she already dead? Why is she here? What's going on?" She shook her sleepy head.
She got up and walked to the dressing table in a daze. The person in the mirror was about 12 or 13 years old. She wore a light green skirt, curved eyebrows, and rolled her eyes. There was a mouth under her high and straight nose. Her lips were a little white because she had just woken up.
