Wu Jinyan’s heart felt like a withered spring, but with Su Hao’s arrival, a warm current surged within her.
She couldn’t help but bury her head in his embrace and cry.
Wu Ruofei was furious when she saw this scene. She used her hands and feet to try and separate them. “Wu Jinyan, you b*tch! Who do you think you are to be with Brother Hao? You’re not worthy! Let go of my Brother Hao!”
“Brother Hao, she’s just a b*tch! How could you be attracted to her?” Wu Ruofei yelled like a mad woman. Su Hao turned to her and glared, sternly rebuking, “Shut up! You have no right to insult Yan’er! She is a hundred times more noble than you!”
Wu Ruofei had liked Su Hao for a long time, and even catching a glimpse of him would make her ecstatic for half a day. But now he rejected her and said that she was not as noble as Wu Jinyan, causing her to burst into tears. “Sob, sob! Brother Hao, how could you say that about me? Wu Jinyan is just a b*tch, what’s so good about her? Wiry do you like her and not me?”
“Ruofei, General Su is a young hero, full of youthful vigor. It’s possible for him to be temporarily captivated by a seductive woman. After all, as a legitimate daughter of the Minister’s Estate like you, you would never strip off your clothes in public,” Madam Wu consoled Wu Ruofei, a hint of derision in the corner of her mouth.
Su Hao’s arrival did not restore Wu Jinyan’s reputation. It only made people think that Wu Jinyan, a wretch, could seduce even a renowned young general like Su Hao.
A wretch would always be a wretch.
Su Hao clenched his fists. “Yan’er wanted everyone to see how cruel you and your daughter are! The wounds on her body are all thanks to you. If it weren’t for you, Yan’er wouldn’t have been tormented like this! And yet, you dare to come here and make things difficult for her!”
“General Su, don’t be so angry. You’re young and promising, but you’ve been bewitched. There will come a day when you wake up and realize that lowly women will always be lowly. Only women like our Ruofei are worthy of becoming your wife,” Madam Wu provocatively smiled.
The sharpness in her eyes was like a knife hovering over Wu Jinyan’s heart.
This was said to make her understand that no matter how she struggled, she couldn’t escape her lowly status.
Su Hao and she were worlds apart!
Wu Jinyan felt empty inside, and her head became dizzy, almost on the verge of fainting.
“You’re wrong! In this lifetime, I, Su Hao, will marry Yan’er, and Yan’er alone! What does it matter if she’s the daughter of a minister? In my eyes, you can’t even compare to a single strand of Yan’er’s hair!” Su Hao held Wu Jinyan tightly, his heart aching.
He didn’t dare exert any force on her frail body, as if she would crumble in his arms if he did.
“General Su, you keep calling her Yan’er as if she’s been seducing you for quite some time. However, wretches will always remain improper. For the sake of the Marquis’s Manor and the old general’s face, it’s better for General Su to sever ties with this wretch sooner rather than later.” Madam Wu’s eyes were filled with contempt.
Since she couldn’t take Wu Jinyan away today, she might as well completely ruin her, so that she would have no face to continue living in this world.
“Wait a moment, Madam Wu. Are you suggesting that the person who seduced my brother is a wretch?” Su Yingxue’s lips curled into a smile.
Madam Wu immediately grew wary. “What do you mean, Miss Su?”
Su Yingxue pointed at Wu Ruofei and loudly addressed the crowd, “Did everyone hear just now how Sister Jinyan referred to my brother? And how did this esteemed legitimate daughter, born to the Minister’s wife, address my brother?”
