Chapter 497: Su Dingheng’s Troubles
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Although Zhilan was Su Yingxue’s closest maid, she had personally experienced a lifetime of blood feuds. Other than herself, no one else could understand it.
So, Su Yingxue didn’t share much with Zhilan.
After Zhilan left, Su Dingheng stormed in angrily. “Su Yingxue, you have everything now. Why won’t you even grant your sister a funeral? She’s your biological sister!”
Su Yingxue’s lips curled in a mocking arc.
Sorry, she had discarded that relationship when she returned to this life.
“Oh.”
She responded casually, then turned another page of the medical book, engrossed in her reading.
“Su Yingxue, are you even listening to me?” Su Dingheng pounded his chest and stamped his feet. His frustration towards Su Yingxue boiled down to a single sentence. He knew that the power of the Marquis’s Manor was now in her hands, so he could only persuade her gently, “Just think of it as a father’s plea. Give Rou’er a proper funeral, let her rest in peace, and allow her name to be recorded in the Su family’s genealogy.”
Su Dingheng was a grown man, but he lowered his head and wiped his tears in front of Su Yingxue. If she was a soft-hearted person, she would have agreed to his request long ago.
However, Su Yingxue remained focused on her medical book, responding with just three words, “It’s not possible.”
Su Dingheng was so infuriated that he nearly fainted again.
However, as Su Yingxue sought medical attention exclusively from a doctor and refused to examine him herself, he couldn’t afford to let himself become too weakened. After all, someone needed to take care of Su Yurou’s remains.
Su Dingheng struggled to support his body and staggered out.
Zhilan followed Su Yingxue’s instructions, preventing Su Dingheng from breaking out of the residence.
During Su Dingheng’s disturbance in the manor, Su Yingxue whispered something into Zhilan’s ear.
Though Zhilan was puzzled, she obediently followed Su Yingxue’s instructions.
Su Dingheng managed to break out of the manor, but he had no idea where to find Su Yurou’s corpse. He just wanted to escalate the situation, believing that Su Yingxue wouldn’t be able to handle it and that she would eventually give Su Yurou a proper burial.
His first destination was the palace, but Chu Mingyuan refused to see him.
Su Yingxue made Chu Mingyuan gnash his teeth in hatred. He couldn’t do anything to Su Yingxue now, so he wouldn’t meet that trash Su Dingheng.
Su Dingheng was rebuffed and went to the Capital Prefecture to accuse Su Yingxue of abusing her sister and not allowing Su Yurou’s body to be collected.
Liang Jin had also heard about this matter, but when entertaining Su Dingheng, he said, “I heard that Second Young Miss framed Eldest Young Miss, and she died in the palace. That’s why Eldest Young Miss is in this state. Although it’s not in line with etiquette, it’s not a problem in terms of the law.”
The meaning behind his words was that he was unwilling to interfere with the pile of rotten matters in Su Dingheng’s residence.
Anyone who went would be in trouble.
Moreover, if the law brought this matter to him, Liang Jin would sentence Su Yurou heavily. She deserved her fate.
Su Dingheng had no one to turn to, so he could only go from house to house and look for Su family’s relatives, his brother, third brother, and younger sister. But which family of theirs did not have discerning eyes?
Previously, Su Yingxue had even generously gifted clothes and jewelry to her cousins. She was generous and considerate of her family. She was unlike Su Dingheng, who became arrogant ever since inheriting the title of nobility. He even made them split up and set up their own families.
It would be strange if they offended Su Yingxue for Su Dingheng!
