Chapter 13 - The Show

The moment Yun Qing slapped Su Qian Meng, she bite her lips and forcefully fell down adding more strength to create a loud noise.

"THUD"

Yan Qing is shocked; even though she hated her. She doesn't have that kind of strength to slap her that hard.

With some blood dropping from Su Qian Meng lips down to the ground. With a trembling body accompanied by a small sob. Su Qian Meng look extremely pitiful. Her image can soften the hardest heart.

"YUN QING!"

Yun Qing is stunned, unable to think what is the best way to explain. She knows that Master Su is at the gates, receiving their honored guest. How come he is here? Yun Qing was afraid to turn around and receive the piercing gazed from her husband. Su Bai Lu can see her mother in a difficult situation.

"F-.." Her tender voice was immediately cut down by a warmth and fragile voice.

"Father, don't misunderstand. It is all Meng - er fault. I received the slap from Yun Yiniang because Meng-er is reminding meimei of the proper protocols. Meimei instantly barge inside of the bride chamber and Meng-er only worried of her reputation as an unwed child. Then suddenly Yun Yiniang came and scold Meng-er for shaming meimei. Father, it was Meng-er fault. Meng-er doesn't know that Yun Yiniang would take it in a different manner." Her voice is soft but full of strength. Even though it was not loud it is enough to be heard by all the bystanders.

"Father don't punish Yun Yiniang and meimei. Meng-er is ready to accept any rightful punishment. Meng-er doesn't care for reputation but meimei is different she is known as a gentle and innocent young miss. Meng-er doesn't want to add any shame to father."

Su Bai Lu widen her eyes, what is this hideous woman mumbling about? Her jiejie is protecting her but why does it sound not right? But instead received a ridicule gaze around her, she can't help but to lower her redden face down.

Yun Qing cannot rebuke what Su Qian Meng said. She cannot help but clenched her two fists. Small veins were already visible.

Su Qian Meng said those words beautifully. She was implying that it was all her fault but she also reveal their wrong doings, not giving them face.

Looking at this scenario, with his husband together with all the high ministers. She who was provoked to the point that she no longer cared about her image and also this hideous pitiful woman. She cannot help but to think this is all a TRAP!

THIS LOATHSOME GIRL !!

One of the minister took pity at the eldest miss. "Such a filial di daughter, a great gift from heaven. Unfortunately, being ill-treated by the illegitimate branch of the family, such pity"

"Prime minister. You are a honest person and many of the younger generation look up to you, but tsk… tsk… tsk... I didn't expect that your residence is a mess." The minister of justice said full of ridicule.

"That is right, you enlightened us that a mere concubine and a shu daughter can easily bully the di eldest miss and soon to be wangfei of Duan wangfu." Added by some official.

They can't let go of these chance that they can freely ridicule this arrogant man. Su Xuan Zhi can't help but feel embarrassed, this official that are below him dare to shame him.

He gazes at these ungrateful women. He doted them this past years. But this is what they repay him. He looks at the pitiful daughter of him but suddenly retrieve his gaze. Longing instantly covered her heard. This child was left behind by his true love.

He intentionally neglects this child, to ease the pain of his heart. Because every time he would look at her figure. It was only reminding him of that woman.

He instantly recovers his fury and turn his penetrating gaze to these two shameful women.

" Yun Yiniang is this how you raise your own daughter?!"

"Scolding the eldest miss on her wedding day, and slapping the legitimate daughter in front of the high officials. WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!" His eyes full of fury. He can't withstand all the mocking gaze he received from these officials. He will be the laughing stock of the ministry.

"It seems you indulge in my favor and already forgot your place!"

"Take this mother and child to the ancestral house." He commands all the stewards that were present.

Then he whispered to Yun Qing "I will sort the two of you LATER" Every word with anger.

"Help the eldest miss to enter her sedan," It was already the auspicious time.

His fury was instantly replaced by a warm smile. "My dear minister please forgive this for letting you see a dispute in my manor, please forget it and treat it as a trifling matter." His voice was calmed as if all of what happened is nothing but a little misunderstanding.

The ministers also answered with a smile but there is a hint of mocking in their eyes. As if they would forget this event. Together with all the minister, Su Xuan Zhi turn and left immediately without sparing any single glance to Su Qian Meng.

When Su Qian Meng no longer see the shadow of her father, A servant try to help her stand.

"Don't you dare touch me." Her voice is calm, with full of coldness.

The moment Jin Zan, Mu Jin returned, her eyes instantly gleamed.

"All is according to my plan." She smilingly said to herself. She should have been an actress rather than an assassin. I deserve an award...

Jin Zan and Mu Jin hurriedly help their mistress stand and gave her a silk handkerchief to wipe the bloodstain in her lips. They witness how cunning and crafty their mistress is, all is carefully calculated nothing is spared. All the servants already dispersed and no longer care to gossip. The aura the eldest miss have is truly frightening. They never want to offend this eldest miss.

Even the most favored yiniang is no match to this eldest mist. As they remembered all the treatment the eldest miss received from the past. They shivered immediately. It looks like karma is here to take the debt...
