Shengjing Noble

Chapter 432 Taking orders in times of danger

In the past few days, many generals have been ordered to go to the northern border to help in the war, and this time the emperor sent the free and easy King Fu Wuyang as the commander-in-chief.

He will leave at the earliest this month and at the latest next month.

But before he set off, the emperor wanted to leave a successor for him, so he pointed out several noble ladies from prominent families and wanted to arrange a marriage for them, but he rejected them all.

He said he wanted to choose one himself...Now that I think about it, the person he chose was Su Lanyin.

It turned out that he didn't ask for her hand in marriage because he liked her, but just wanted to find someone who was not too bad to carry on his family line before going to the battlefield.

Su Lanyin's mood was extremely complicated at this moment, and she was a little bit amused and helpless.

Su Lanxin also saw the expression she wanted. She curled her lips into a smile and looked at her with cold eyes.

"You're just like me. You thought you had the love of men, but in the end, all they cared about was power, status, and offspring. We women will always be their playthings. Su Lanyin, you're no different, aren't you? Hahahaha..."

She laughed heartily, but unfortunately, Su Lanyin did not look like a miserable little woman who was hurt by love as she wished.

She put the letter on the table, a sneer on her lips and mockery in her eyes.

"No, I'm different from you because I can choose to refuse. Even if I don't rely on King Xiaoyao, I still have my value. I'm still the daughter of the Lu family and I have wealth that I can't spend in several lifetimes."

Su Lanyin stood up, walked up to her with a sympathetic look on her face, put her hand on her shoulder and patted her gently a few times.

"Su Lanxin, this is the biggest gap between us. You are so pitiful."

After saying that, he curled his lips into a cold smile, then opened the door and walked away.

Su Lanxin came to her senses and anger flashed in her eyes. She grabbed the letter on the table, tore it into pieces and threw it on the ground.

"Bitch! I wonder how long you can keep being so proud!"

……

After returning to Zuixianlou, Su Lanyin went straight to the second floor and came to a compartment.

She pushed the door open and walked in. Liu Ruyan was tied up and sitting on a chair with a rag stuffed in her mouth.

"Uh uh uh..."

Liu Ruyan seemed to have something to say, but Su Lanyin gave her a look and A'mo pulled the rag out of her mouth.

"Su Lanyin, you little bitch, you will die a horrible death!"

She started cursing as soon as she opened her mouth, but the more she did so, the more helpless she seemed.

Because there was no way to escape, he cursed and vented his despair and indignation.

Su Lanyin was not angry. Instead, she sat down opposite her and asked with a smile, "Did you see what Su Yongcheng, Su Lanxin, and Su Shenghao did downstairs just now? How do you feel?"

Liu Ruyan's eyes turned red and she glared at her fiercely. Her expression was more terrifying than wanting to eat someone, as if she wanted to tear their bones apart.

"Don't be so proud, little bitch! My husband and children are just putting on a show for you. They must be trying to get information from you. They must know that I am under your control."

Hearing this, Su Lanyin laughed: "You are so naive at your age? To tell you the truth, Su Lanxin pushed you down with her own hands. She was sure that you were dead, so she instigated Su Yongcheng to come to my mother to seek peace."

"You're talking nonsense! And what you said before, I've thought about it, no matter who she is in her heart, she is my daughter, at least her body and her life belong to me, I will protect her, I will never let you use me to frame her!"

Liu Ruyan yelled at her, which made Su Lanyin look aggrieved.

"Are you suffering from paranoia? Who told you that I wanted to use you to frame her?"

"Then what do you want to do? Why are you locking me up? Let me out!"

"Of course I'll let you out, but not now."

"When was that?"

"Do you believe it or not, Su Yongcheng will find a new wife in a month at most?"

Liu Ruyan's eyes widened in shock: "I don't believe it! I don't believe it! My husband treated me...he treated me..."

She couldn't say it, or perhaps she couldn't say it at all.

Because she herself didn't believe that Su Yongcheng was sincere.

He even let down Lu Wanjun, who treated him the best. What kind of heartless and ungrateful thing would a man like him not do?

Thinking of this, the surprise in her eyes gradually dimmed, as if she had already accepted her fate.

Su Lanyin also saw her inner struggle at the moment, so she smiled and said: "You live your life for yourself. You don't have to be too sad now. After all, you will have plenty of opportunities to cry in the future."

Liu Ruyan gritted her teeth and looked at her: "Su Lanyin, I have no grudge against you, why do you treat me like this?"

"No injustice or enmity?"

Su Lanyin looked at her as if she had just heard a big joke.

All the tragedies in the previous life were caused by Liu Ruyan. How could she have the nerve to say that there was no grudge between them?

"You gave my mother a chronic poison, sent servants to abuse my eldest brother, let his maternal relatives snatch his fiancée, and then found a woman with a dirty disease to defile my second brother. The most hateful thing is that you let the servants lead my third brother astray, causing him to almost die!"

"And my mother, because of your instigation over the years, has she endured so much trouble and insults from Su Yongcheng and his mother? You spread rumors and ruined my mother's reputation outside. Doesn't this count as hatred?"

"And don't forget, your two children were raised by my mother. You are just called a loving mother, but in fact you have never changed even a diaper for them!"

"You sit in the position of the eldest lady, relying on my mother's sacrifices and enjoying the wealth and glory that you never saw when you were a concubine in the Marquis's mansion, but you are ungrateful and even want to kill my mother to get the eggs!"

"I can't finish talking about all these things even if I spend a month. You and Su Yongcheng are a family. You two are a perfect match, so I will never let you two break up!"

"When he marries a second wife, I will let you go and reunite with him. By then, he will definitely ask you to take the initiative to demote his wife to a concubine! You should also experience all the humiliation my mother has suffered over the years!"

Liu Ruyan was rendered speechless by Su Lanyin's retort, and she could only stare at her with a pair of hateful eyes.

"Hmph, don't worry. With Su Yongcheng's ability, he will be able to find someone to take over within a month. Then you can leave! Haha..."

After saying that, Su Lanyin turned around and left, leaving Liu Ruyan cursing in frustration.

Unfortunately, she was gagged by a rag just after she finished cursing!

She is no longer as elegant as before. I’m afraid she can’t even be dignified.

Perhaps, Liu Ruyan's true face is so hideous and barbaric, but it is only because of Lu Wanjun's existence that she can be smooth sailing and thus be decent.

Standing at the door, Su Lanyin let out a breath of resentment that had been lingering in her heart for a long time.

Everything now is finally different from the previous life!
