Her Brother Believes Her

"Big Brother, don't be angry. Hurry up and apply the medicine!" Su Yingxue was afraid of provoking him again, so she hurriedly urged him.

Su Hao looked at the medicine in her hand and then looked at her eyes, but he was a little hesitant.

Shu Yan instantly snatched the medicine from Su Hao's hand and glared at Su Yingxue with a vigilant face. "Eldest Young Master, don't use it! There might be some kind of poison in this medicine. What if your wound festers and you become disabled?"

Shu Yan shut up!" Su Hao scolded him with a cold face.

"Young Master, I didn't say anything wrong! Haven't you been harmed by this sister for the past few years? If it wasn't for her, would you have been so seriously injured? You're quite generous. The Blood Clotting Grass that His Highness bestowed upon you, you casually gave it to her. I wonder what your heartless sister has mixed in to harm you!"

"I didn't!"

Su Yingxue applied the ointment on her arm before turning to look at Su Hao. "Brother, don't worry. If I drug you again, I will die a horrible death!"

"Don't say that. I'll use it."

Su Hao asked her to wait outside the screen and applied the medicine with Shu Yan's help.

When Su Yingxue went in again, Shu Yan's eyes were about to pop out. Every hair on his body was screaming with dissatisfaction at her.

Su Yingxue pretended that she did not see it and did not take it to heart. She placed two bottles of new medicine by Su Hao's bed. "Brother, you're a young general, so you have to keep these medicines on hand. If there's not enough, send someone to let me know. I'll make sure that you recover well. Of course, I hope that you will never be injured."

Her lively eyes overflowed with light, and Su Hao's heart was exceptionally warm.

Most of the time, he was not deceived by Su Yingxue, nor was he unable to see through her intentions.

But as long as he saw her happy, he was willing to do anything even if he had to break his bones and skin.

He couldn't keep his sister safe all the time, so he just wanted to do his best to make her happy.

Su Yingxue no longer disturbed Su Hao's recuperation. Seeing that he had applied the medicine and went back, Shu Yan kept rolling his eyes behind her. "Pretending to be kind, but you're a jinx!"

Su Yingxue turned around to look at him. Her eyes were sharp like an unsheathed sword!

Shu Yan instantly held his breath.

However, it was only for a moment before Su Yingxue's eyes regained their calmness. She bowed slightly. "In the past, I was rash and caused my brother to be injured. It's understandable that your attitude towards me was bad, but I, Su Yingxue, swear that I will protect my brother well from now on and not let him be hurt in the slightest!"

Shu Yan's eyes widened. "What?"

Did he hear wrongly?

Su Yingxue said that she wanted to protect the Eldest Young Master?

Was she crazy?

He quickly ran back and asked Su Hao to see if he was hearing things.

However, Su Hao leaned against the bed and frowned.

"There is definitely more than one Blood Clotting Grass in these two bottles of medicine. There are also other precious medicinal herbs."

His expression was solemn. Although Su Yingxue had some medical talent, the money in her hands was usually taken away by Su Yurou or used to buy gifts to make her father happy. She could not buy too many Blood Clotting Herbs, much less afford these medicinal herbs.

How did she get this medicine?

Su Yingxue had just returned to her courtyard when Su Dingheng kidnapped Zhilan and forced her to hand over the thousand-year-old ginseng.

"Su Yingxue, I'm really disappointed in you! Yurou treated you so well, even though you caused her to have a high fever, she still pleaded for you! You actually went to the pharmacy and secretly took the thousand-year-old ginseng away. Are you trying to kill her on purpose?"

Su Dingheng pointed at Su Yingxue and scolded her as if the person in front of him was not his biological daughter but his enemy.

Su Yingxue's expression was calm, and her tone was unperturbed. "The thousand-year-old ginseng was bestowed to Grandfather by the Emperor. Father, are you going to give the thousand-year-old ginseng to Su Yurou?"

"What's wrong? Do you want to monopolize it? Yurou is my daughter, your biological sister, and also the Marquis's bloodline. Could it be that she can't use it? Hurry up and hand over the ginseng!" As if he was afraid that Su Yingxue would swallow the ginseng for herself, Su Dingheng sent people to search Su Yingxue's room the moment he arrived, but they did not find anything!

Su Dingheng's gaze fell on her.

Su Yingxue looked at Su Dingheng with a mocking gaze. This was her father whom she had respected for many years. She had lost her mother when she was young and valued her parents' love more than anything else. She yearned for Su Dingheng to love her and protect her. When she saw that he doted on Su Yurou, she desperately treated her well, hoping that he would give her some pitiful fatherly love for Su Yurou's sake.

But how did he treat her?

First, he betrayed his relationship with her mother, then he colluded with Su Yurou to kill her grandfather, and then he charged her brother with treason, pushing them all to hell.

Then, he would sit in the marquis's manor and embrace his women and children as he pleased!

"Brother and I have used the ginseng. Father, go find another one!"

Su Yingxue's lips curled into a mocking smile. As expected, she looked at Su Dingheng, who flew into a rage. "What did you say? You guys... What do you mean by you two used the ginseng? What's going to happen to Yurou!"

"What a joke! Why can't Brother and I use it? We are the legitimate children of the Marquis's Manor. Who is she, Su Yurou? How could a nameless illegitimate child be worthy of the ginseng bestowed by the emperor?" Su Yingxue's tone was domineering, and her aura was sharp like a knife.

Su Dingheng's gaze was vicious. He actually did not know how to retort Su Yingxue's words!

Because the old man didn't allow it, he still couldn't marry Shulan. Even Yurou and her brother didn't have a status in the marquis's manor.

But in the past, Su Yingxue had always obeyed everything he said. If he wanted anything, she would give it to him even if she had to risk her life. Now, she actually used the ginseng and was so unyielding.

Suspicion rose in his heart, but when he remembered that Yurou was still lying in bed, he softened his tone, "Father knows that you're not convinced today, but you harmed Yurou first, how can I not punish you? Even if you're angry, you should be done. Hurry up and take out the ginseng! How can you and your brother finish it?"

"If I say I'm done eating, then I'm done eating!"

Su Yingxue did not care about Su Dingheng's coaxing. She pulled Zhilan into the room and closed the door.

Su Dingheng threw a tantrum in the courtyard, then turned around and rushed out of the manor to look for the ginseng.

Su Yingxue heard that Su Dingheng had gone to all the big medical centers outside and only found a hundred-year-old little ginseng.

When Zhilan heard this, she was so angry that her little face puffed up. She felt indignant for Su Yingxue, "The Marquis is too biased! He didn't care about Miss, but he was so worried about Miss Yurou. Those who didn't know would think that Miss Yurou was the legitimate daughter of the marquis's manor!"

"Hasn't Su Yurou always boasted that she was the daughter of the Marquis's Manor and that her manners and upbringing were better than mine?" The corners of Su Yingxue's mouth curled up in a mocking arc as she tied the wristband closer.

"Miss, it's so late. Are you still going out? Are you going to get that bottle of medicine for me? Since it was snatched away, then let it be. I don't want it anymore. Miss, I don't want you to get hurt!" Zhilan quickly stopped Su Yingxue, thinking that it was all her fault for talking too much. She had told Su Yingxue during the day that when the Marquis came to search the room, he had taken away the bottle of medicine that Su Yingxue had given her.

If Su Yingxue went to ask for it now, she would probably be at a disadvantage!
