Su Chi shook off Zhao Mengzhi who had come to grab his sleeve, looking seriously at Qi Mo: “Desolate King, you better give me an explanation, otherwise why would you falsely accuse my daughter of being unchaste?”
“Unchaste? False accusation?” Qi Mo scoffed, “Chancellor, why not ask your daughter directly?”
Su Chi’s expression changed as he looked at Zhao Mengzhi, who was crying on the side, and his anger flared. He shouted, “Why aren’t you going to bring that wicked girl over here?!”
“Sir…”
“Hurry up!”
After Zhao Mengzhi left, it took a long time for Su Chi to calm his inner fury. Earlier, rumors had already spread in Chang'an City, and he had dismissed Zhao Mengzhi's nonsense as mere talk. He never expected that it would come to light during the Desolate King Grand Wedding!
His gaze swept over his daughter standing below the stage and the second daughter who had suddenly appeared on stage, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.
“Pei Jiu, since you’ve returned, that’s good. From now on, your father will treat you well.” He stepped forward a few paces towards Su Peijiu, his eyes filled with affectionate light, unaware that this light made her feel sick.
Suppressing the discomfort throughout her body, her fragile eyelashes trembled: “Father, what exactly happened? Why is the Desolate King with my elder sister…”
Su Chi could only nod helplessly and sigh: “It’s good that you’re back; don’t worry about anything else.”
“Hmph!” At this moment, Qi Mo sneered: “Don’t care? This King wants to ask Chancellor, why did you send your unclean Eldest Daughter to This King? And why has the deceased Legitimate Daughter suddenly appeared at the wedding banquet? Does Chancellor not regard the royal dignity? Does he not respect His Majesty?!”
“I would never dare!” Hearing the severity of Desolate King’s words, he quickly knelt towards the emperor's position and shouted loudly.
The emperor remained silent, just watching Su Chi kneeling on the ground.
Seeing the situation stalemate, Su Peijiu’s eyes flashed with cold light. She pretended to hesitate before speaking: “Although my elder sister is domineering, she would never do anything to disgrace our family. I ask His Majesty to see clearly. Since the Desolate King has already married my elder sister, she is now part of the Desolate King's Manor. Although I am a woman, I would never compete for favor against my elder sister!”
Qi Mo wanted her to marry him, but she was no longer the Su Peijiu who could be easily manipulated!
At that moment, Su Xingyan was called over by Zhao Mengzhi. Her veil had already been lifted, revealing her beautiful face. Hearing Su Peijiu's words, she immediately shouted, "What a shameless harlot! You can't stand to see me better than you!" She even tried to rush over to tear at Su Peijiu.
Su Peijiu took two steps back and moved to Qi Mo's side. If Su Xingyan wanted to hit her, she would have to get past Qi Mo. Sure enough, when the furious Su Xingyan saw Su Peijiu standing there looking weak and trying to gain sympathy from others, she was so enraged that her forehead was steaming. Ignoring who was standing next to her, she reached out to grab Su Peijiu's clothes.
Just as she was about to grab hold, she was suddenly thrown back with great force, unable to catch her breath before spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Big sister!" Su Mengyun immediately covered her mouth with a handkerchief and exclaimed, but her eyes were filled with amusement. This woman who always bullied her finally got her comeuppance. After always suppressing her, now on her wedding day, she was injured and spitting blood by her own husband’s hand... Su Xingyan, you finally got what you deserved!
"Desolate King..." Su Xingyan stared in disbelief at the man who had just held her hand in worship. Even though she knew he did not willingly marry her, his ruthlessness still made her feel somewhat hurt.
Her gaze shifted back to see Su Peijiu standing beside Qi Mo, looking at her expressionlessly. The resentment in her heart grew like wild grass in a rainy night!
"Su Peijiu, you vile woman! May you die a horrible death!!" She screamed, the hatred in her eyes seeming to tear through the air and shred the woman across from her.
Whether it was the Crown Prince or the Desolate King, they were both captivated by this harlot; what was so good about her? Just a pretty face? But beauty has its limits—ten or twenty years may seem beautiful, but what about thirty or forty? Isn’t youth destined to fade?!
How could three years of intimacy with him, Qi Rong, not compare to the allure of this beautiful skin?
She could follow him without name or status, but why? Why did he want to push her away for someone else?
You want the Linglong Spine, I’ll find it for you; I’ll search every corner of the Prime Minister's Residence. You want support from the Prime Minister's Residence, I’ll do my best to negotiate with my father. I’ve done everything you wanted... but why treat me like this?
Qi Rong, you can abandon me, but why must you humiliate me so?!
Feeling the rough hands of the servants dragging her up, a chill swept through her eyes. The worst thing she had ever done in her life was to listen to him and conceal her love for him from the world. But even at this moment, as long as he did not want it, she would continue to hide it...
Su Peijiu calmly watched the scene before her. She saw Su Xingyan being dragged away, her gaze fleetingly drifting towards Crown Prince Qi Rong, but throughout it all, the Crown Prince never spared her a glance.
Su Xingyan's eyes were filled with despair and longing as she looked at the Crown Prince, like a trapped beast struggling in its final moments...
Oh, men...
Flower Mother was indeed right; most men in this world are heartless and ungrateful, and a woman's sincere heart cannot be entrusted.
In her plan, Su Xingyan would be infuriated and seek help from the Crown Prince. At least in the worst-case scenario, her virginity would be taken by him. However, she never expected that Su Xingyan would love the Crown Prince so deeply that she would not reveal the truth until the very last moment.
In contrast, Crown Prince Qi Rong... he did not even blink at Su Xingyan's desperate gaze from beginning to end.
"This farce should come to an end," the Emperor slowly spoke, rubbing his temples. "I am tired; I will return to the palace first." With that, he stood up and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Once the Emperor left, the ministers followed suit, and suddenly there were significantly fewer people. The princes also departed, yet the Crown Prince remained seated in his position, his gaze cold.
A farce? Isn't life itself a farce?
Su Peijiu lowered her brows, making it difficult to discern her expression. At that moment, Qi Mo whispered in her ear, "Even if you die, you cannot escape from me!"
Her pupils contracted as she instinctively moved away, but Qi Mo was quicker and seized her hand. His gaze was obsessive: "Are you afraid now?"
"The Desolate King better know his place!" She struggled desperately, signaling Black Crow not to act rashly for the time being.
Qi Mo hooked a thin smile and glanced at the man in the corner below, wearing half a mask: "Are you still hoping for someone to save you? You probably don't know how obsessed This King is with you... No worries, This King will tell you now. As long as you Su Peijiu dare to marry a man who is not This King, This King will slaughter his entire family!"
Su Peijiu suppressed the agreement that surged through her arm; Qi Mo was acting, and his pupils did not change color due to emotional agitation, making it clear that this was all a performance for others. Besides Su Chi, only the Crown Prince remained present.
Who among these two was he trying to deceive?
Upon hearing Qi Mo's words, Su Chi felt his mind spin. If this were true, Su Peijiu absolutely could not stay; otherwise, the Su Family would inevitably be dragged down by her. He looked at Su Peijiu with murderous intent.
Why did this daughter come back?! Why didn't she die outside? If she hadn't appeared today, how would all this have happened?
"Let go!" Su Peijiu sensed the murderous intent coming from Su Chi, and her gaze towards Qi Mo turned icy: "This is my last warning—let go!"
"Things won't always go your way... This King will just watch how you escape from your biological father's murderous intent." He pulled her closer, his lips moving slightly out of sight, eyes gleaming with pride: "Or... you are always welcome to seek This King's protection."
Protection? You Qi Mo sent me into the tiger's den; how could I dare to hope for your protection?
...Su Chi had neglected his own daughter for fifteen years. If it weren't for Su Peijiu's good fortune, she would have died in the backyard long ago. Since he had never fulfilled his responsibilities as a biological father and now harbored murderous intent against her, what did she have to fear? It was just killing; she wasn't inexperienced...
Right... she wasn't inexperienced; she had killed before.
A mocking smile played on her lips as she looked at the man before her. With her other hand, she pried open his strong grip on her wrist and said word by word: "You just watch!"
Su Chi, supported by Su Mengyun, had already walked to the door. She chased after him, passing by Qi Rong, when a voice as faint as air reached her ears: "You shouldn't have come back."
She ignored it and walked past directly, her gaze growing ever more resolute.
If she doesn't come back, won't Chang'an be too quiet? Everyone is living so happily, but the souls of over two thousand Great Yan will not find peace.
In this life, she desires nothing more than for the souls beneath this soil to rest in peace, and for that, she will spare no effort!
Ji Yu had not made up her mind before, but since she plunged the hairpin into the Jailor's body and was splattered with blood, she has been more resolute than anyone!
Hatred should not be set aside, and the souls should not be forgotten. Everything has its cause and effect; the sins they committed must be repaid by their own hands!
Yuan Cang's collapse began at the Prime Minister's Residence. She will seek justice for the deceased Su Peijiu; if the father is unkind, do not blame her for being unjust!
Smiling, she reached out to help Su Chi into the carriage and kindly said, "Father, take care."
Su Chi got into the carriage with a blank expression. Behind him was Su Mengyun, who wore a mocking smile: "Second Sister has finally returned, but isn't this timing a bit unfortunate?"
"Whether it's fortunate or not, Sister Four, don't you think you're meddling too much?" She leaned closer to whisper in her ear, "Did Third Concubine not see me take a detour?"
"You!" Su Mengyun bit her lip in anger and then got into her own sedan chair. Su Peijiu coldly snorted and followed her inside.
She still has to return to the Su Family. As long as Su Chi takes action tonight, she will make the Su Family vanish! Originally, she planned to resolve everything at the wedding banquet, but unexpectedly, Su Xingyan caused her to lose her strategy, and today's Crown Prince is acting a bit unusual.
