“I’m not marrying her! Father, nothing happened between us!” Su Hao regained his composure and remembered that his momentary trance was due to the illusion he had seen!
“Bastard! Is this how Father usually teaches you? A dignified seven-foot-tall man dared to do it but didn’t dare to admit it! What do you think of Lord Wu’s daughter?” Su Dingheng harshly criticized Su Hao, showing no concern for Su Hao’s grievances.
“I didn’t! This matter was very suspicious. Someone must have framed me!” Su Hao argued with a red face.
For so many years, he had grown up with his grandfather, with little emotional connection to his father. He didn’t ask his father to make decisions for him, but… he wouldn’t easily give in!
“Would Miss Wu use her innocence to slander you?” Su Dingheng didn’t side with Su Hao at all. With just a few words, he painted Su Hao as a heartless person.
“Sob, sob, sob… Father, what should 1 do in the future!” Wu Ruofei cried innocently, leaning against Wu Hongtao.
Wu Hongtao lost his temper and declared that he would report Su Hao to the authorities for mistreating his daughter.
“No!”
Su Yingxue stepped in to stop him. She glared at Wu Hongtao with a cold face. “Lord Wu, do you want me to accompany you to the Capital Prefecture?”
“This… You!” Wu Hongtao felt as if someone had grabbed his throat and immediately shrunk into submission.
“Su Yingxue! Who are you to speak here? Your brother did something foolish, and as his sister, you didn’t even know how to persuade him! 1’11 discipline both of you. Come back with me!”
Su Dingheng stormed off with both of them.
After returning to the Marquis’s Manor, Su Dingheng immediately sought to confirm the marriage between Su Hao and Wu Ruofei.
Su Hao adamantly refused, which infuriated Su Dingheng.
He couldn’t care less about Su Yingxue. He didn’t expect Su Hao to completely disregard him. He wanted to use whip on Su Hao, but given Su Hao’s current status, he couldn’t easily resort to physical punishment.
Frustrated, Su Dingheng paced around the hall. Finally, he yelled at Su Yingxue and Su Hao, “Both of you, go to the ancestral hall and kneel for reflection!” Su Hao and Su Yingxue stood up together. As Su Hao turned around, Su Dingheng’s reminder echoed like a warning bell in his ears. “Hao’er, today’s events are widely known throughout the city. After all, the Wu family is one of the six ministers. You must marry his daughter!”
Su Hao’s back chilled as if he hadn’t heard Su Dingheng’s words at all.
In the ancestral hall, Su Yingxue knelt beside him. When they were alone, she gave him a meaningful look. “Brother, extend your hand.”
Su Hao removed his wristband and extended his hand.
After checking his pulse, Su Yingxue frowned. “It’s Rosemary.”
“What is that?” Su Hao recalled his physical condition. “1 went to find Yan’er. When 1 entered the room, I saw her, but for some reason, when 1 woke up, it was Wu Ruofei!”
“Rosemary is a purified knockout drug. It also contains aphrodisiac components that can paralyze a person’s nerves and brain, causing them to lose control. Brother, you have a strong inner energy. The drug’s effects weren’t very strong on you, but it was enough to cause trouble during the day.” Su Yingxue gritted her teeth, realizing that Wu Ruofei had targeted Su Hao!
Su Hao clenched his fists tightly, and his downcast eyes looked gloomy. “I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint Yan’er this time. It’s my fault!”
“Brother, you were set up by someone. Why accept your fate so quickly? The one who should be punished is the one who set you up.” Su Yingxue’s eyes were filled with anger..
