Chapter 526: A Suspicious Man
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Madam Sheng kept calling Su Han a slut and even said that she was shameless.
When did she not know shame?
“My words are harsh. I have even worse things to say! Which man in this residence doesn’t favor you? My husband usually praises you, and my son also favors a slut like you. He doesn’t even go to my room once! But you, that disappointing belly of yours, it’s fine if you haven’t given birth for a few years, but now you’re even pregnant with a ghost fetus, throwing the face of our Regional Prince’s Mansion!”
Madam Sheng spoke harshly to Su Han, venting all her dissatisfaction with her over the years.
She didn’t agree to take Su Han as her daughter-in-law. She despised the poor family and hated Su Han for being so beautiful and capable. She had managed the mansion well, but her mother-in-law couldn’t find any fault!
Su Han was scolded so badly. No matter how good-tempered she was and how much she cared about her relationship with Chu Xiaotian, she had to defend herself. “I’m not pregnant with a ghost fetus! Don’t you know why there are bugs’ eggs in my stomach and why 1 fell into the lotus pond?”
If it wasn’t for Min Jia’s intention, how could she…
“Enough! Su Han, 1 brought you back so that you can apologize to Mother and persuade her to take the medicine! 1 didn’t want you to make Mother angry!” Chu Xiaotian scolded coldly.
Su Han clutched her clothes tightly, feeling as if her heart had been stepped on by someone.
However, recalling Chu Xiaotian’s past kindness towards her and the heartfelt words he spoke when he brought her back just now, she bit her lip with tears in her eyes. “It’s Han’er’s fault. Please, Mother… Don’t blame me. Taking care of your health is more important.”
Seeing her humble demeanor, Madam Sheng’s anger dissipated by half.
Outside the door, Su Yingxue was furious.
If she could intervene in Su Han’s family matters, she would have thrown Madam Sheng into the lake and let her soak for a night.
To resist this urge, she had to temporarily leave the place.
Su Yingxue thought that Min Jia County Lord hadn’t appeared today. She had some doubts about Min Jia County Lord, so she quietly went to her courtyard to investigate.
If she didn’t come, it would be fine, but the moment she arrived, she saw a man embracing her in the county lord’s yard.
Su Yingxue felt that the man’s figure was somewhat familiar. She jumped onto the beam and silently approached him.
Under the beautiful moonlight, Min Jia County Lord revealed the delicate demeanor of a young girl. She pounded the man’s chest with her fist. “I’ve been injured one after another, and you only come to see me now! Tell me, do you think I’m ugly because my face is injured, so you… You don’t like me!”
“Idiot, what are you thinking? The military affairs have been busy recently, and I’ve been working late into the night every day. When 1 heard that you were injured, my heart was about to break from anxiety. Come, let me see your face.”
The man held Min Jia’s face as if it were a treasure. His eyes showed both genuine concern and a hidden disdain.
Min Jia wasn’t particularly good-looking. She wasn’t as beautiful as Su Yingxue, nor as flamboyant as Han Yuwen. She wasn’t as delicate as Su Han, and she liked to wear bright colors, making her figure seem less slender.
The man affectionately kissed the wound on Min Jia’s face. “It’s a pity 1 have no power now. Otherwise, I would teach the person who hurt you a lesson and avenge you!” he said softly.
“You… Don’t mention that Su Yingxue!”
Min Jia bit her lip. She was so angry that she felt like killing someone.. “I’ve never suffered such humiliation since I was young!
