Chapter 407 After the Loyal Servant Stopped Protecting His Master (3)
After waking up.
Bai Ruofu took a hot bath.
It looks no different from any other day.
Her mother told her in a dream not to seek revenge.
But Bai Ruofu felt that she could destroy the entire Su family without doing anything!
the reason is simple--
Su Jinyue is described as having a "gentle and refined demeanor," but in reality, she is completely incompetent and has no ability to protect herself.
Without her own help, she would be completely devoured after marrying into the Marquis of Lin'an's household, leaving nothing behind.
She was the only legitimate daughter in the Su family.
Madam Su is extremely jealous and has killed many of Lord Su's concubines and children over the years. Now that Lord Su is getting old, it is even more difficult for him to get women to conceive.
-
Before leaving the Su family, Bai Ruofu specifically sought out Li Chenghao and told him...
"Brother Chenghao, thank you for your love and care over the years. I am very touched and will remember it for the rest of my life."
"But... Brother Chenghao, once I enter the Marquis of Lin'an's mansion, I won't be coming back. You must find someone you love and who loves you back, and spend your life together. This is Afu's greatest wish for you..."
Li Chenghao gave a bitter smile.
Nothing more was said.
He could actually tell—
Bai Ruofu doesn't like him.
She only felt affection for him as a brother.
Li Chenghao kept all his words of pleading to stay to himself.
With Afu's kind of mindset, as long as she breaks free from the shackles of the Su family, she can shine wherever she is in the future.
She can fly even further.
And he.
He was destined not to be the one who could fly with her.
The only love I have for her is letting go.
-
On Su Jinyue's wedding day, a strange thing happened.
In the Lin'an Marquis's mansion, a maid appeared who bore a striking resemblance to the courtesan Gu Junyue had once been infatuated with.
That night, Gu Junyue, who was drunk, did not go to Su Jinyue's room, but instead favored the maid, Shuang'er.
Su Jinyue was left alone in her empty room.
She looked at Bai Ruofu with a mournful expression.
A maidservant nearby said, "Why doesn't the young master come to the madam's place? This..."
Su Jinyue raised her chin, pouted as if she didn't care, and said, "His legs are his own body. How can I control where he wants to go?"
Bai Ruofu, who was still Su Jinyue's head maid, said, "Since the young master's wife doesn't mind, then we servants will help her get settled."
"Hey, no..."
Seeing that the maids were really busy, Su Jinyue panicked.
Bai Ruofu feigned ignorance and asked her, "Madam, what's wrong? Are you unwilling and want me to go and invite the young master?"
"How...how could that be! I'm not that kind of person!"
"Oh, then continue with the arrangements."
"..." Su Jinyue felt irritated and her chest felt tight.
This was a feeling she had never experienced before.
It was as if the invisible barrier around her had suddenly shattered.
-
The Marquis of Lin'an's residence is not a place where Su Jinyue can rest easy.
The reason why Lady Lin'an Marquis agreed to Gu Junyue marrying Su Jinyue was because she found Shuang'er.
It can distract her son and also give her a daughter-in-law who is easy to control.
The Marquis of Lin'an and his wife had long seen through Gu Junyue's true colors—he only needed a woman to whom he could place his affections. The more they opposed him, the more he would love them.
They didn't want to be with the girls from wealthy and powerful families.
Otherwise, the girl's family will not let them off the hook.
The Su family, however, is different.
Even if Su Jinyue went back to her parents' home to complain, they wouldn't be afraid.
How dare a mere fifth-rank official defy the Marquis of Lin'an? How dare he defy the Imperial Concubine behind the Marquis of Lin'an?
