The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 72: Bullying the superiors and concealing the truth from the subordinates

Su Waner clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging into her palms, and she didn't dare to make any unnecessary noise.

 Behind her, Xue Huan's face turned even pale.

She had already disposed of the remaining poison according to the eldest lady's instructions!

 Why does it still appear?

"What exactly is going on?"

Sun Jiarou’s cold gaze fell on Su Waner, with no trace of pity in her eyes.

 “Old madam, I want you to take care of the housework, so I won’t stay.”

Physician Wu was already aware of the strangeness. He picked up his medicine box and nodded to the old lady and Sun Jiarou, "Don't worry, Madam Su, I will have the prescription delivered to your house."

 “Mother Zhang, go and send Dr. Wu away.”

Sun Jiarou nodded and gave the order.

 Aunt Zhang took a step forward and said, "Doctor Wu, please come this way."

 When Royal Physician Wu and Nanny Zhang left Chaohua Xiaozhu, Su Waner said with a pale face: "Mom, this is not my thing."

“It’s not yours, so why is it in your yard?”

Sun Jiarou stood beside Su Leyun, holding her hand tighter and tighter.

Su Leyun gently patted the back of Sun Jiarou's hand and said, "Mom, don't worry."

 “It’s impossible for Wan’er to do such a thing.”

The old lady was naturally on Su Wan'er's side. She took the medicine bag in Nanny Zhao's hand and asked, "Whose house was this found from?"

“I found it in the flowers outside the eldest lady’s house.”

Mama Zhao returned hesitantly.

When the servant found the medicine bag, she and Grandma Li were nearby, so there was no chance to hide it.

"Grandma, I really didn't do such a thing. I regard sister Yun'er as my biological sister. Why would I poison her? Someone must have framed me."

Su Waner held the handkerchief and wiped the tears from her eyes while redressing her grievance.

 “But why was this poison found in your yard?”

The veil on Su Leyun's face had been put back on, and she looked at Su Wan'er in confusion, as if waiting for an answer.

Su Wan'er covered up the hatred in her eyes and looked up again, only feeling aggrieved: "Sister Yun'er, don't you believe me too? Even if Hong Ye is a person in your yard, you shouldn't believe her so easily? Maybe that's the case. She left it in my yard!”

 “What Wan’er said makes sense.”

 The old lady frowned and looked at Hongye who was kneeling aside.

Hongye said quickly: "I don't dare to tell lies. Please tell me, old lady!"

 “I will investigate this matter, but now...”

"Grandma!" Su Leyun shouted loudly, "Since this happened, why don't we find out now? Do you think that the fact that your granddaughter was poisoned is nothing?"

 “What are you talking about? Are you blaming me?”

 The old lady's expression changed slightly.

"Grandma, how dare Yun'er blame you. But do you know? Yun'er has been tortured these past few days. At night, the stinging pain on her face made it difficult for Yun'er to sleep. I thought this was a punishment from God, punishing me for the past ten years. I haven’t been at your knees to take care of you for five years. But now all this tells me that it’s not a punishment, but someone deliberately trying to harm me! Why don’t you make Yun’er sad?”

In front of so many people, Su Leyun's eyes turned red and he looked at the old lady with disappointment.

 Like a child who is not loved.

Su Leyun slowly walked towards the old lady, his voice choked with sobs: "Grandma, Yun'er knows that Sister Wan'er has always been raised by your side, and you should love her more. But Yun'er is also your granddaughter, why can't you have more pity on me? You You don’t want to see us sisters being suspicious of each other, right?”

"you…"

The old lady felt confused. She was thinking of delaying it for a few more days, and then she would sell the red leaves and the matter would be over.

 But now, Su Leyun's words put her on a path where she couldn't make a choice.

If she doesn't check it now and word gets out in the future, others will definitely say that she is partial.

It would be even more troublesome if it spread to Sun Shao's ears.

"Yun'er, of course grandma also loves you. Grandma will definitely investigate this matter." The old lady suppressed the disgust in her heart at being led away. The expression on her face was full of love. She stretched out her hand to comfort Su Leyun, "Mother Zhao Mom, since Hongye doesn’t want to tell the truth, just do what you have to do.”

"yes."

Mama Zhao nodded in agreement and immediately ordered the boy to get the torture tools.

Su Leyun looked at the red leaves placed on the bench and couldn't help but look at the courtyard door.

 Why isn’t brother here yet?

"beat."

After the words fell, the boy held up the board and dropped it on Hongye unceremoniously.

"ah!"

Hong Ye let out a wail and couldn't help but bite her lips.

Bright red blood flowed from his lips, Su Leyun frowned, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Su Ye walking towards the yard.

 “Grandma, stop it!”

Su Ye was followed by two people, one big and one small. When Su Waner saw them, her expression turned even worse.

That is Hongye’s family.

 These two people were really rescued by Su Leyun!

 What went wrong?

Qingwu stopped the boy who was about to continue to attack. At this time, Hongye was already breathing too much and not taking in enough air.

“Ye’er, who are these two people?”

 The old lady’s eyes became deeper and deeper when she saw Xiaoyu and Grandma Hongye.

"elder sister!"

Xiaoyu saw Hongye lying on the bench and rushed towards her, looking at her worriedly.

Hongye forced a smile and said, "Sister...it's okay."

“Grandma, these two are Hongye’s family members. They can prove that Su Waner caught them to threaten Hongye.”

Su Ye looked at the old lady steadily, his face changed from his usual straightforwardness, and he became calmer.

This appearance actually looks a bit like Sun Shao.

 The old lady's heart was beating a little fast, as if something was gradually going beyond her expectation.

 Xiaoyu and Grandma Hongye were called in front of the old lady, "Are you two relatives of Hongye?"

"Back to...old lady, yes, my name is Xiaoyu, I am the younger brother of Sister Hongye, and she is our grandmother."

 “Who is the person who captured you? Is she here?”

When asking this question, the old lady's brows did not relax. She glanced at Su Wan'er's expression without any trace of worry.

Xiaoyu turned around and looked around, and his eyes suddenly stopped on Xue Huan.

 “I know this sister, she has visited me and grandma several times!”

Xue Huan's legs shook and she suddenly fell to her knees: "This slave doesn't know anything!"

Su Wan'er blinked and then remembered that she had never met Xiaoyu at all. Everything was done by Xue Huan and people from other villages.

She lowered her eyes and looked at Xue Huan, who was kneeling beside her. She bit her lower lip and said in disappointment, "Xue Huan, why are you doing this?"

 “Miss!”

“Xue Huan, I treat you very well!”

Su Waner interrupted Xue Huan's words. She slowly took a step back and looked at Xue Huan in disbelief, as if she had been betrayed. The hem of her clothes slipped from Xue Huan's fingers.

Had he not known Su Wan'er's temperament well, Su Leyun would have believed what she looked like now.
