Chapter 142: Dog bites dog, turns against each other
In public view.
Su Mingyue looked at her brother, who always doted on her, and flinched. Why did he come back at this time? He wouldn't have been like this if he had come back earlier or later.
Shen looked at her son and daughter with some distress. She stepped forward again and tried to help Su Mingyue up: "Hurry up, hurry up. Your brother is right. There is no need for our daughter to rely on the princess's mansion for support."
There is really no need for you, the daughter of the Prime Minister, to do this.
But when Shen came back to her, Su Mingyue finally burst out with dissatisfaction: "You said you wanted me to leave, but when the princess came to the Su family to ask for me, why did you let me go?! You only think of taking me away now, have you ever thought about my fate?!"
If they hadn't gone to the princess's mansion, at least the eldest princess and the prince wouldn't have been so sure about who saved the person.
Now that all the prescriptions have been tried, none of them are effective. The eldest princess and the prince will no longer trust her unless Su Mingyue can ask for Su Jixue's forgiveness. As long as Su Jixue is willing to forgive her, she still has the confidence to repair her relationship with Lu Jing.
After all, Su Jixue is not the real daughter of the prime minister.
"Are you blaming your mother?!" Shen's eyes were red. She had been strong-willed all her life. She was originally the daughter of Shen, and her great-grandfather was Zhuang, so she had always been a proud pearl in the capital. Even when she got married, she did not marry the wrong person. Everyone would say that she had good taste.
But she had put a lot of thought into this daughter since she was young. Although she was not raised in the mansion because of Su Jian, Su Mingyue had everything that other daughters had. She had a wet nurse, a nanny, maids, and a tutor, all of them were provided.
And even occasionally, Shen would find a chance to meet Su Mingyue.
Although I don't have it by my side, I am absolutely concerned about its education.
Even when Su Jixue saved the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, it wasn't Shen who first thought of it. Shen knew a little about the relationship between Su Jixue and the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. And Su Mingyue was even more so. She was initially attracted to the War King, a fact Shen was also aware of.
But what is even clearer is that this marriage with the War King is absolutely impossible.
Su Jixue ruined Su Mingyue's reputation in the capital, but she had no complaints. When Su Jixue worked day and night until her eyes turned red to save the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, Su Mingyue poured cold water on her more than once.
Su Mingyue had even asked Shen to keep Su Jixue under control, to prevent her from bringing shame upon the Xiangfu. But just when Su Jixue finally managed to concoct the medicine after repeated attempts, Su Mingyue secretly approached Shen and asked, "If my sister marries into the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, will that put a heavy burden on Mingyue?"
Su Mingyue once asked pitifully whether she would never wait for the time when Shen would pamper her.
At that moment, Shen finally had this idea.
But now, in Su Mingyue's words, everything became her fault. Shen's heart turned cold, as if she had fallen into an icy cave.
"Mingyue, why don't you forget filial piety?" Su Ce's eyes fell heavily on Su Mingyue. He had received a letter from Su Mingyue. She sounded so pitiful that her parents didn't care about her anymore, so she could only ask her brother for help.
But now Su Ce saw it with his own eyes, Shen Shi was worried sick about her. Otherwise, Shen Shi could just turn around and leave, why would she embarrass herself in front of so many people?
When Su Mingyue turned her eyes to Su Ce, she didn't dare to say much. She bit her lip and looked stubborn and touching, as if she wanted to play the role of a rich lady who was let down by her mother to the extreme.
"Mingyue, the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, Lu Jing, is still alive and well, not the living dead he was when he returned to the capital!" Su Ce sneered as he glanced at the two maids fighting each other: "They can't tell the difference between military generals and their families, and can't you, a learned scholar, tell the difference between them?!"
"The Su family did save Lu Jing's life."
"If they want to blame someone, they really can't blame the Su family."
Su Ce had already heard the news in the capital in the past few days, so he also knew about Su Jixue's angry throwing of the jade pendant. Even if this incident had not happened, Su Ce knew that Su Jixue and Lu Jing were good friends in the past.
Lu Jing had long known about his feelings for Su Jixue.
Therefore, in this matter, the one who should be blamed the most is not just Su Mingyue or Shen's evil intentions, but Lu Jing.
"Mingyue." Su Ce called Su Mingyue's name gently, looking down at the sister he once loved so much. "Brother will ask you one last time, are you going back to the Su family?"
Su Mingyue looked at Su Ce nervously, her face full of pleading, and shook her head gently, "Brother, Mingyue is afraid."
"What are you afraid of?! Dongchu has its own laws!" A cold light flashed across Su Ce's gentle and elegant eyes, "You are not an ordinary citizen with no status!"
I used to think Su Jixue was a disgrace, and that Su Mingyue was the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. But when I think about how Su Jixue had always been pampered, although she was willful, she was also very proud. If anyone dared to treat her like this, they would make a big fuss.
Su Mingyue lowered her head and refused to speak anymore, but she also made her attitude clear, that she would not leave.
The nanny at the Princess Mansion saw the situation and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Look at the Miss Su family, she still has a heart of remorse. Then look at the eldest son of the Su family, who is famous in the capital. He really doesn't understand the situation. If you do something wrong, you must pay the price for it."
"Bah! Although it was someone from your Su family who saved our prince, you also concealed the truth from the Princess and Marquis's Mansion and tried to defraud them. You made them think Miss Su was lying, and broke her heart!"
"We in the Princess Mansion made a mistake and paid the price, but what about you?!"
The maid at the Princess's residence was no pushover either. She spoke these words loudly and took the opportunity to shout towards the gatekeeper at Prince Zhan's residence, "Now that the eldest princess knows the truth, she's bringing Su Mingyue here to apologize! Miss Su, please forgive us. The Princess's residence apologizes to you!"
These words directly praised Su Jixue very highly and severely criticized other people in the Su family. It was really vicious.
After all, Su Jixue is a member of the Su family after all. As long as the conflict between them is expanded, no one will be better off.
"That's right! I never expected this. I thought Master Su Ce was different from the other members of the Su family, but it turns out he's just like that!"
"If you do something wrong, you should apologize!"
"That's right. Miss Su was scolded to death back then, and now Dong Chu's life and death are still unknown. Shouldn't she apologize?!"
……
For a moment, the target of everyone's criticism became Su Ce.
Shen looked at this, then looked at that, and finally looked at Su Mingyue with a hint of disgust in her eyes, "Mingyue, are you going to let mother and brother bear the blame for the mistakes you made?!"
She had made up her mind to sacrifice pawns to save the chariot.
