The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince! - Chapter 7
Chapter 7
Su Hao came back to his senses, and his eyes dimmed. “She doesn’t need it anymore.”
He originally wanted to go to her courtyard to see her, but she said that she needed to treat her injuries with the servant girl. It was probably inconvenient for him to go over now, so he returned to his own courtyard.
However, Shu Yan felt that it was a pity. “Young Master, you risk your injuries to protect her, but Su Yingxue doesn’t even care about you. She really doesn’t know what’s good for her!”
Su Yingxue had never been likable since she was young. If it wasn’t for his Young Master protecting and spoiling her, her life would have been miserable!
“Shu Yan.” Su Hao’s voice was cold and carried the might of a soldier.
Shu Yan immediately stood up straight in front of him. “Young Master, what can I do for you?”
“She is my younger sister, the noble Eldest Young Miss of the Marquis’s Manor. You shouldn’t call her by her full name!” Su Hao reprimanded in a deep voice.
Shu Yan was stunned. He was doing this for his Young Master!
“Go and receive your punishment. Thirty strokes of the rod!”
“Yes!”
Shu Yan disliked Su Yingxue, but he never disobeyed any of Su Hao’s orders.
Su Hao walked back to the courtyard alone. His injuries were not light, and he did not walk fast. However, this dark sky made him feel ashamed.
If he had more time to accompany his younger sister and could appear in time whenever she needed it, she would not have been bullied to the point of being weak and temperamental. She would not have been like now, forcing herself to be strong to deal with everything in the Marquis’s Manor.
The stronger she was, the more guilty he felt.
In Su Yingxue’s courtyard, Zhilan was holding the Blood Clotting Grass that she had picked back. Her eyes were teary, and her tears were about to fall.
“Young Miss, it’s all because of me that you were scolded by the Marquis. I really should die!”
Su Yingxue grabbed Zhilan’s collar and pulled her up. “Blaming yourself like this won’t do me any good. Zhilan, if you want to be my servant, you have to put away your temper and think about how to protect yourself and me.”
Su Yingxue could not help but sigh in her heart. Zhilan’s personality was inherited from her. She was weak and timid in the past. If others said something bad about her, she could think about it for three days. She compromised, but others only treated her as a fool and stepped on her more and more. If she wanted to establish the demeanor of a legitimate daughter, she had to be strong.
A person’s strength came from the inside out. One had to have a strong heart and even stronger abilities.
She had been reborn, and many of her fragile hearts had been crushed and trampled into pieces in her previous life. In this life, she wanted to build an indestructible heart for herself, so that she would be strong enough to protect herself and the people she owed in her previous life.
As for her powerful abilities… since she had the Medicine King Valley, she had to make good use of it!
The Marquis’s Manor was controlled by her father, and she was restricted in every aspect. The first thing she had to do was to earn enough money. Only with money in hand could she compete with her father and Su Yurou.
Su Yingxue and Zhilan rummaged through her room together. As expected, there was nothing valuable left, making her feel quite vexed.
Zhilan quietly sized up Su Yingxue and asked carefully, “Miss, if you have money, you won’t use it to please the Marquis and Miss Yurou, right?”
The things that happened in the past two days made Zhilan very gratified. Su Yingxue had changed too much.
However, she was still worried that Su Yingxue would be deceived by Su Yurou in just a moment.
Su Yingxue reached out and flicked her forehead. “What did I teach you just now? I don’t even have any silver to use now, so how can I give it to others?”
“What if you have it?”
“Then I will only think about how to earn more silver.”
Zhilan puffed up her face and ran to find a wooden box before running back.
Su Yingxue took out a contract from the box. “Mother left this medical center for me?”
Zhilan nodded with red eyes. “This is the last shop that Madam left behind. Madam instructed that you can’t take it out unless your life is in danger.”
A trace of surprise flashed across Su Yingxue’s eyes. In her previous life, she and Zhilan had died unexpectedly. So she still had an inheritance.
Sunset Court.
In order to treat the injury on Su Yurou’s head, Su Dingheng had no choice but to take out the Blood Clotting Grass from the pharmacy. However, Su Yingxue pointed out in public that he had to pay back money to the pharmacy. Otherwise, he would be committing theft!
This was the trap he had originally set for Su Yingxue, but Su Yingxue had grabbed the rope and strangled him. In order to shut up the Marquis’s Manor, he had forcefully given the pharmacy 10,000 taels!
He wished he could break Su Yingxue’s bones and tendons!
“Daddy, it’s all my fault. I caused you to waste so much money. If Mother knew, she would blame me for not sympathizing with you.” Su Yurou knelt on the bed and apologized to Su Dingheng. Her eyes were filled with tears and she looked pitiful.
Su Dingheng’s heart softened immediately. He quickly helped her lie down. “My dear daughter, this is clearly Su Yingxue’s fault! She refused to give you the Blood Clotting Grass and insisted that I spend a few thousand taels of silver. I will find a chance to teach her a lesson!”
What made Su Dingheng angry was that Su Yingxue, who had always been at his mercy, had become a different person. Not only was she unable to be controlled, but she had even turned around and strangled him. This made him feel a great sense of danger and fear. He could not let Su Yingxue continue to grow like this!
“Daddy, I originally had a poetry recital to attend tomorrow, but now that my face is injured, it’s not convenient for me to go. Please send someone to apologize to the Seventh Prince and say that I’ve let down his good intentions.”
Su Yurou’s reminder made Su Dingheng remember that Su Yingxue admired the Seventh Prince and even asked the old man to ask for a marriage agreement with the Emperor.
The Emperor had already promised, but he had yet to issue an imperial edict!
He could not control Su Yingxue, but if he used the Seventh Prince to oppress her, she would definitely not dare to go against him!
He quickly patted Su Yurou’s shoulder and comforted her, “Good daughter, leave this matter to me. Rest well. I won’t let Su Yingxue hurt you again.”
Su Yurou nodded timidly, but a hint of viciousness flashed across her eyes.
The next day, Su Yingxue was prepared to go and take a look at her inheritance. There were quite a lot of medicinal herbs in Medicine King Valley. If she had a medical center in her hands, she would have a lot of money in her pocket when she started running it. At that time, she would be able to take back the power of the Marquis’s Manor from Su Dingheng’s hands step by step, and eliminate those who threatened her and her brother’s safety one by one!
However, before she could leave the manor, two fierce guards stopped her. “His Highness wants to see you!”
“His Highness?” Su Yingxue raised her eyebrows. These two people were dressed like soldiers of the royal family. The Marquis’s Manor did not participate in the fight for the throne and did not have close ties with any prince. However, the direction they brought her to was Su Yurou’s Sunset Court.
In the courtyard, Chu Chengye was dressed in a moon-white robe. The collar and sleeves of his robe were embroidered with a soaring dragon cloud pattern that symbolized his status. He was like a gentleman, making people think of him crazily.
Su Yingxue’s heart skipped a beat when she saw him.
That’s right. In her previous life, Chu Chengye was her favorite. Even though Chu Chengye had never been nice to her, her eyes were still filled with him.
A young girl’s yearning was so brainless and unreasonable.
