Chapter Ninety-Seven: She's My Only Daughter
Liqian Xiu stood up with hatred and steel, looked at the person in front of him, and angrily lectured:
"You're the daughter I've worked so hard to cultivate, and that's all I have in my head? What kind of thing is Xu Liu, can he compare with the son of the Su family? β
"Even if Su Ling is just the concubine of the Su family, it is much better than someone who is not careful. As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, don't you even understand this truth? β
"Liqin, don't you have your father's teachings in your head? Do you want my sweat to go down the drain?
Twenty-three years old, not a three-year-old child, can you think a little bit of your own way about things? β
Li Qin looked at him steadily, and was about to argue against him, but he shouted again:
"Dare to talk back to me? If it weren't for Madame's habit of not being able to find you in the south, south, west, and north, you wouldn't be confused like this now.
Do you still have me as a father in your heart? β
"Dad~" Li Qin grabbed his arm and explained: "I know what you said, but now it is irreparable." I already have a relationship with Xu Liu, and Su Ling also knows about it.
Do you think I can still marry him? Are you really a fool to be a member of the Su family? β
"What?" Wen Jing's face also floated with surprise, and she looked at her daughter with wide eyes, completely unbelieving that these words came out of her mouth.
"What did you say?" Li Qianxiu couldn't believe what she was hearing, and stared straight at her face, her serious face with a fierce look that almost devoured her.
Li Qin was not afraid of his persecution at all, and calmly repeated:
"I said, I slept with him, and Su Ling also knew, you said, will he still want me?"
"Smack!"
A loud slap landed on her face, and a hot sensation came, followed by a numbing tingling pain flowing into her nerves, beating her heart into the boundless hell.
She thought that she could rely on their favor for her, even if she tried it once, it didn't matter.
It's just that the slap landed firmly on her face, and the little luck left in her heart was finally destroyed to the point that there was no drop left.
It's really the same feeling as I imagined, desperate and chilling. Her face was tilted to the side, tears rolling down the corners of her eyes, but there was no sadness in her eyes, and she smiled confidently and gracefully.
"You hit me? How could he accept such kindness from you for the first time? Dad, I thought I was more important in your heart! β
His palms were numb, and he suddenly reacted to what he had just done. The daughter in front of him was carefully raised by him, and he never lifted a finger from her.
Now it's also the first time I've done it.
His heart was stunned, but he slowly calmed down, and then said:
"You remember me, and I'm doing it for your good. From today onwards, you will be honest with me to stay at home.
Your marriage to Su Ling is going on as usual. Don't think about any bad intentions! If you want to escape from marriage, there is no door. β
Putting down the harsh words, he left a resolute back to the two of them.
Wen Jing hurriedly got up and went over to hold Liqin's face and read:
"Xiao Qin, how can you talk to your father like this? If it weren't for the ridiculousness of what you did, how could he be willing to hit the baby he held in the palm of his hand since he was a child? It's also in a hurry.
Well, you're awkward, just listen to his arrangement. Quick, Mama Li, bring ice to the young lady to put on it. β
Li Qin looked at that face, in a displeased mood, gently pulled her hand away, wiped her tears and ran upstairs.
Mama Li just came out of the kitchen and said to Wen Jing, who was staying in place, "Madam, Miss, she ......"
"Hey!" Wen Jing sighed and took the things in Li's mother's hand, with no lack of worry in her eyes.
"Forget it, I'll go up and comfort her. You go and do things! β
Mama Li answered, looked at her walking figure, and wiped the tears in her eyes. This is also the child she grew up serving, and she felt very uncomfortable watching her being beaten by her own father.
Locking the door, everything outside the house couldn't sink in, and Qin remembered what Jiang Zuo said, and regretted his actions a little.
She always knew that how could she give up the big tree of the Su family when she left home, and she categorically wanted to refuse her proposal.
Still, she wanted to give it a try, and she ended up suffering like this.
Half of his face was red in the mirror, which showed how heavy his father was just now.
It's like you're going to fan someone out.
With a determined gaze, she indifferently wiped away her tears, picked up the powder next to her and began to touch up her makeup. Even in the most tragic moments, keep your posture high.
This is Liqin.
"Xiao Qin, open the door, Mom has brought you ice cubes."
A quiet and gentle voice came from outside the door.
Li Qin replied expressionlessly: "Mom, you put it at the door, I will come out and get it myself, I want to be calm and calm." β
Wen Jing heard this, her eyes showed sadness, and she continued: "Xiao Qin, don't think too much, your father is also good for you." β
"No matter what the Su family says, it is also a big family, and we have always had frequent contacts with their family, and we can't tear our faces. How can you say that it won't work if it's a good marriage? β
"The dowry has been lowered, and we are just one marriage away, and we are almost at the last step, so our family naturally has no qualifications to regret it.
What you just said, Mom took it as a joke. β
"No matter what, you better calm down at home, this matter is a certainty, and it can't be changed."
There was no response from the room. Her thoughts drifted for a moment, and finally she left her things in the doorway and left silently.
Walking towards the bedroom, her gaze paused on the door and she pushed it in abruptly. The person on the bed had closed his eyes and was lying on one side.
She walked slowly to the bedside and stood for a long time, not speaking.
"What do you want to say?"
Li Qianxiu didn't open her eyes, but she seemed to know all her emotions, and she opened her mouth quietly.
Wen Jing took off her shoes, lay down on the bed, and curled up on the outer edge. After struggling for a while, she still spoke what was in her heart.
"Xiao Qin...... What are we going to do if what she said tonight is true? β
Li Qianxiu opened her eyes, looked at the back over there, a few traces of guilt flashed in her eyes, turned her head to look at the bright chandelier, and was silent for a long time.
Wen Jing closed her eyes and was not in a hurry to wait for his answer. The lights dimmed, and Li Qianxiu stretched out her hand and patted it twice, and the room fell into darkness.
A few more minutes later, his voice came slowly into her ears.
There was an undeniable determination in Liqianxiu's tone, penetrating all the silence.
"Even if it's true, what? Su Ling knew, and he proposed to dissolve the marriage, which was one thing. It's another thing for him to pretend that nothing happened. β
"Don't you know his situation? Now although he is the son of the Su family, it can also be said that he is under the fence.
Su Wen wants him to die at any time, and he can't guarantee that he won't be able to fight one day, and it's normal to die with a whimper. β
"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and on the surface, they are not tigers. In fact, none of them can afford to be offended.
What do you think is the reason why Old Man Su can agree to this marriage? β
"Even if Su Ling is the concubine of the Su family, he is one of the best figures in Xuncheng and even in Lelian Country. Therefore, he also needs a well-connected wife to rely on. β
"Up is the house of the eunuch, down is the people of Limin, and we are away from home, in the semi-center, dispensable.
You can help when you need it, and when you don't, it doesn't matter if you kick it away. It is this mysterious identity that saved the person who left home. β
"She's our only daughter and I certainly want her to have a good life. How can the hard work be in vain?
Although Su Wen is the best candidate for the future ruler of the Su family, the eldest son, but that is the old saying.
Now that time has changed, times are different. β
"On the contrary, Su Ling, who is always obsessed with romance, impresses me. One day, maybe he can really make a splash and climb to the top. It's all about the long term. β
"Xiao Qin marries him, that's the best policy. Who else around us is better suited than that? Madam, you can't just look at things at the surface.
Old Man Su regarded everyone as a chess piece in his hand. β
"As everyone knows, playing chess is not just about losing. Until the last minute, no one was sure who would be the winner. β
"Compared to what is called Xu Liu, I trust my own judgment more and choose Su Ling. So, please don't stand in the way of my judgment, what I have done for her is the best. β
"She's my only daughter, and she's only my only seed, and I'm not going to push her into the mud. Madame, please trust me! β
Her heart grew cold, and she hugged herself and fell into the deep bed.
