Su Yurou was furious when she saw her like this. “Su Yingxue, you’re shameless! You hooked up with the Ninth Prince and even seduced the Seventh Prince, you…”
“Zhilan, tell her to scram,” Su Yingxue said indifferently.
Zhilan complied and immediately gestured for the servants who were sweeping the courtyard. “Escort the Second Young Miss out.”
She didn’t know how to fight, but the servants were all strong and sturdy. They dragged Su Yurou to the door and threw her out.
Su Yurou fell on her butt and cried in pain. “Su Yingxue, just you wait! I won’t let you off!”
Zhilan curved her lips and smiled at her. “Second Young Miss, it’s better to go back and recuperate before returning.”
Su Yurou was supported by someone. The whip wounds on her body had yet to heal, and her butt suffered another fall. She cried back to Sunset Garden.
Su Yingxue took Zhilan to the accountant’s office to handle some matters. Zhilan reported, “Yesterday’s expenses in the residence were normal. However, Marquis wanted to order a new batch of furniture and renovate the courtyard, costing 850 taels.”
Su Yingxue raised her eyebrows. “Why did Father suddenly want to repair the courtyard? Is he planning to give it to Qingxin Court?”
Zhilan shook her head, saying with some difficulty, “Marquis mentioned that Miss had previously damaged his courtyard and left it unrepaired. Now that Miss is in charge, he requested you to fund the courtyard’s renovation.”
Su Yingxue sneered. How long had it been since she damaged his courtyard? Why was he thinking of renovating it only now?
However, when Wu Jinyan came over yesterday, he had given her a substantial dividend. With the business in her hands becoming more profitable, 850 taels of silver didn’t seem like much.
She crossed out this record from the account and instructed Zhilan, “Allocate two thousand taels of silver to Father. Let him repair or expand the courtyard as he wishes.”
Zhilan felt a pang of concern. “Miss, Marquis is extorting you. Why spend two thousand taels of silver on this?”
In this world, it was heard that parents spent money on their children, but a father spending such an amount on an unmarried daughter was unheard of.
Su Yingxue calculated calmly, her expression icy. “I’m not lacking in this money, but spending it on him is inviting disgrace upon himself.”
She didn’t mind letting others know that the esteemed Marquis of Martial South was still using his daughter’s money after inheriting the title.
As expected, when Su Yingxue sent the two thousand taels to Su Dingheng, not only was he unhappy, but his face turned ashen. “She’s humiliating me!”
Liu Shulan’s soft and delicate hand caressed his chest as she said gently, “Master, this gesture from Yingxue is her way of showing respect to you! This 2,000 taels of silver is something an ordinary family would never spend in their lifetime. Yingxue gave it to you willingly, indicating how much she respects you as her father!”
She appeared to praise Su Yingxue, yet she was aware of Su Dingheng’s sense of inferiority. She stoked his anger, highlighting his growing inadequacy as a father in the presence of his daughter.
Su Dingheng felt ashamed and grew to hate Su Yingxue even more. His eyes filled with resentment. “Mother is like this, son is like this, and so is her daughter! In front of the three of them, 1 will be…As useless as a worm!”
Back then, he accidentally slept with Long Shuli and felt inadequate to marry her.
Long Shuli was renowned worldwide, yet he remained obscure. He was useless!
Even inheriting the noble title was credited to him by the old master because of Su Hao!
Now, Su Yingxue surpassed him in every aspect.. He was useless as a husband, useless as a father, and would always be inferior in front of Long Shuli and her bloodline!
