I fought back after reselling my engagement

Chapter 124: Betrayal

On the second day, the mother brought Cui and her two children out to burn incense.

They did not go to the Huguo Temple, but instead went to a nunnery that their mother had heard from others and asked the nun in the nunnery to read their fortunes.

"After the nun of Jinghua Temple read our horoscopes, she said that if it was a boy, he would be a rare talent and bring honor to the family; if it was a girl, she would have a good appearance..."

Cui said this and stopped. The nun was a monk. What she said about Qi Lang was true, but what she said about Qi Niang was not complete. A female student who was an outsider was just a betrayal. She was using outsiders to plot against her own family.

Zhen Su grew up in the Cui family, and Cui agreed to her mother-in-law's request to treat Su Su as her own daughter.

But today, when she heard the words "scheming to lose virginity" from Su Qinnan's mouth, she couldn't control herself at all. It was as if she saw how Su Qi schemed and persecuted Su Wan back then. How could there be any sisterly love between them?

"That bamboo sword was well made and round, but in her hand, it first hurt Qilang's hand, and then it injured my neck. It's obvious that she was born to hurt Qilang. If she hurts me, she will also hurt her family..."

Su Shao said: "Madam, she is our daughter."

Cui shook her head painfully, "But she is a cruel, cold and heartless person in her bones. When my mother-in-law was alive, I heard her say that when she gave birth to my eldest sister-in-law, she urinated on my mother-in-law as soon as she was born and held in the arms of the midwife.

A fortune teller once said that my elder sister-in-law has conflicts with her parents and siblings. Isn’t that true?

She ruined my second sister's life. Her husband got into trouble, but she falsely blamed my father. If the emperor hadn't trusted my father, our whole family would have been convicted. How did my father leave Beijing and come to Yueyang? Wasn't it because of my eldest sister-in-law and her husband..."

Before her death, the mother-in-law was most reluctant to leave their family and Susu, but she never mentioned her elder sister-in-law.

My mother-in-law was such a gentle and kind person, but she refused to forgive my elder sister-in-law until her death.

Su Shao said: "Qiao'er is only eleven years old, she... won't be someone like my elder sister."

"You can tell a person's future from the age of three and his old age from the age of seven. She is already eleven years old, and it is difficult to change her. This is her nature and her destiny..." Cui sighed painfully. For the sake of her husband, her son, and her beloved home, she would never allow Su Qinnan, this scourge, to harm her family.

She didn't want to insist any longer. She had always wanted to change her fate with motherly love, but fate was predetermined and could not be changed.

My eldest sister-in-law is too old to change, and the same goes for Su Qinnan.

Everything is fate, nothing is up to you.

Su Shao called the eldest girl in and said, "You guys serve the madam, I'll go to the front yard."

He had to keep an eye on his sons' studies. The mansion had hired a teacher a long time ago, but the teacher was dismissed a year ago because he and his sons felt that the hired teacher was not as talented as they were.

Su Shaoyou had the title of juren, but in order not to become an official, he did not take part in the imperial examination.

Once one has passed the imperial examination and obtained honors, one must become an official. If one does not hold an official position granted by the emperor, then that would be deceiving the emperor.

Chunyu asked the housekeeper for permission and took the maid into the woodshed to interrogate Xiaolan and Xiaohong.

After lunch, Zhen Su took a shower, washed her hair, and changed her clothes. There were too many doubts in her mind. The mastermind who poisoned her in her previous life was the Wan family, and Su Qinnan was not among the accomplices.

She only knew that Su Qinnan had a difficult marriage. Before marrying the son of the Cui family, she had been engaged twice, but both times the other party broke off the engagement. In the end, she had no choice but to marry into her uncle's family.

The Cui family is just a family of minor officials and cannot be compared with the Su family. When you think about it carefully, this matter is indeed a bit strange.

My maternal grandfather was the governor-general of Hunan Province and a first-rank provincial governor. Logically, it would have been difficult for his granddaughter to have her marriage rejected, but Su Qinnan had her marriage rejected twice.

Since she couldn't let it go, she decided to go to the small Buddhist temple to talk to Su Qinnan.

Chun Feng said: "Master, I think it is not the right time for you to meet Miss Seven."

Zhen Su was slightly stunned.

Chunfeng whispered, "Master, have you heard about the events of Qilang and Qiuniang's one-year-old celebration?"

Zhen Su said: "Seventh brother grabbed a copy of Confucius, and seventh sister grabbed a bamboo sword."

"At first glance, they are one civil and one military. However, the bamboo swords used for children's zodiac are usually round and won't hurt anyone. But on that day, the bamboo sword in the hand of the Seventh Lady gouged the hand of the Seventh Master, causing bleeding and spotting. The Third Madam regarded it as an ominous sign and wanted to separate them. When she was holding the Seventh Lady, the Seventh Lady used the bamboo sword in her hand to injure the Third Madam's neck. That's how the scar the size of a fingernail on the Third Madam's neck came from."

The day of the Zhuazhou ceremony is also when the children turn one year old.

Zhen Su knew that Su Qillang and Su Qinnan were twins, a boy and a girl. Su Qillang was less than half an hour older than Su Qinnan. One was born at the first quarter of the morning hour, and the other was born at the fourth quarter of the morning hour.

"The Third Madam and the old lady of the Cui family regarded it as an ominous sign. The next day, they went to Jinghua Temple in the capital to burn incense and ask for good or bad luck. At that time, the nun of Jinghua Temple gave the Seventh Girl a 'female appearance' and refused to say anything else."

Female appearance...

To side with outsiders is to be treacherous and help outsiders plot against one's own family members.

Zhen Su knew Chunfeng's ability. This girl had been away for a while, so she would definitely investigate again.

She had no idea that there was not only Chunfeng but also Xia Yang by her side, and it was Xia Yang who found out and told Chunfeng about this.

Chunfeng said, "Seventh Miss has just been locked up in a small Buddhist temple by the Madam and the Master to reflect on her sins. It is not appropriate for you to visit her now. Let's talk about it in a few days. Besides, Fifth Young Master has already sent a maid to deliver the ointment."

"The ointment has been delivered. Has she not had her lunch today?"

"The mistress and the master were so angry that they didn't even have lunch. How can a person who has committed a crime eat?"

Listening to advice is half the battle.

Zhen Su gave up the plan to visit Su Qinniang in the temple, but she was confused and wanted to find out. How did she get poisoned in her previous life? The Lu family loved her and the servants were honest, so they didn't seem like the ones who poisoned her. The only suspicious person was Su Qinniang.

She forced herself to be calm. She couldn't be calm when practicing calligraphy, but practicing the use of the Phoenix Ring made her calm down. The success rate of one third last night increased to one half. The progress was fast and effective. She was in a good mood and her practice became more and more smooth.

However, there was no progress at the 50% success rate, so she had to put it aside for the time being.

At the hour of You, she came out of the inner room.

Chunyu handed over a stack of papers, which were the confessions of Xiaolan and Xiaohong. They detailed every transaction between Su Qinniang and the girl from the Mao family in the past three years. The Mao family knew that Su Jingzhai and his son were proficient in calligraphy and painting, so Su Qinniang took out her father's and grandfather's calligraphy and calligraphy and gave them to the girl who was an expert. At first, she exchanged them for food, and later for jewelry and other items.

In the first year, it was just the transaction of calligraphy and ink treasures, but in the second year, there was the selling of information and benefits. Then, there was the pursuit and fawning of the girls from the Mao family. The originally pure little girl has become what she is now, while Cui and Su Shao are completely unaware of it.

Because the Mao family not only bribed Su Qinnan, but also let their maids bribe Xiaolan and Xiaohong, promising them benefits. The two maids would also tell the servants and maids of the Mao family some of the things they knew.
