Chapter 1870 The Most Beautiful Woman in the World 1

"It must be my sister. She has always said that my aunt and I colluded with the bandits to harm her, and she wants to take revenge on me."

"Go and call that rebellious girl Su Yan to me."

Su Rongrong and Liu Rushi's faces were as pale as paper due to the pain, and the servants around them didn't dare to breathe, for fear of angering the master and bringing disaster upon themselves.

When Su Yan arrived, the entire Songhe Courtyard was silent, with servants kneeling on the ground. Liu Rushi and Su Rongrong were sitting on the sandalwood armchairs nearby.

Both of them needed someone to support them, otherwise they couldn't even sit steadily.

Seeing Su Yan coming in, Su Rongrong no longer pretended to be weak and asked angrily, "Sister, did you cast a spell on me and my aunt to take revenge on us?"

Su Yan was clueless when asked: "Su Rongrong, what are you talking about? What kind of Gu? When did I ever cast a Gu on you? Do you think I am you? I haven't even settled the score with you for what you did to me, but you are telling me first? Are you deliberately making up a Gu to frame me in order to avoid Daddy's punishment?"

Everyone saw that she was frank and it didn't seem like she was acting. Su Kangyong, who had been skeptical just now, was no longer so suspicious of her.

But since everyone is here, I still have to ask.

"Rebellious girl, is it you? If you cast the curse on them, remove it immediately, otherwise I will not forgive you."

Perhaps he thought Su Yan was frightened, and this kind of questioning that looked fierce but was actually weak was no different from a dog fart to Su Yan.

"I told you it wasn't me. Dad, have you been bewitched by them? Ever since my mom died, you've been partial to her. How could there be a father like you in the world, helping outsiders to wrongly accuse his own daughter? Did I do something unjust in my past life to deserve a father like you?"

Su Kangyong was almost pissed off at Su Yan. For every word he said, she had ten words waiting for him, and her words were so harsh that if outsiders heard them, they would think he was very harsh to her.

"You...you're really making me mad. How dare you talk back to your elders?"

"A loving father is the only way for a filial son. Dad, your heart is so far away. Do you still expect me to just sit back and accept your accusations? I also said that Aunt Liu was poisoned by the bandits when she colluded with them. After all, ordinary people like us don't know what a poison is. Someone like her who trades with bandits might have been poisoned without knowing it."

Su Yan spoke without hesitation, and after hearing what Su Kangyong said, he became a little suspicious of Liu Rushi.

Seeing the flames of war spread to her, Liu Rushi quickly protested, "Master, I really didn't do it. The Second Miss has a deep misunderstanding of me. No matter how I explain, she won't believe it."

Su Kangyong looked at this and that, and finally waved his hand weakly to let Su Yan go down first.

Before Su Yan left, he snorted coldly.

"Dad believes you are innocent, but I don't. I will definitely find evidence and make you spend the rest of your lives in jail."

After hearing what Su Yan said, Liu Rushi still wanted to argue, but then she changed her mind and thought that maybe it really wasn't Su Yan who put the poison in her, after all, they had little contact.

And from what she said, she still needs to find evidence and wait to send her to jail, so she shouldn't use a curse.

Besides, everything is written on Su Yan's face. She shouldn't have such a deep thought about putting a Gu on her, and she doesn't have the chance to get that Gu.

Su Kangyong also thought so. As for Su Yan's statement that Liu Rushi colluded with bandits, he didn't want to investigate it. He just wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter.

Anyway, everyone is fine, so just pretend this never happened.

What Su Kangyong said about everyone being fine was just his assumption. Didn’t those servants who died count as human lives?

If Su Yan hadn't appeared, who knows what would have happened to the others.

He is a typical example of someone who talks without any hesitation.

Su Rongrong and Liu Rushi thought that the pain was enough once, but the next day, the familiar feeling of pain and itchiness came like a tide.

The two were originally admiring the flowers in the garden, but suddenly they fell to the ground, crying and rolling around, unable to control the pain and itching all over their bodies.

Su Kangyong was called over and saw that the two were in the same miserable condition as yesterday. He was extremely anxious and had to send someone to call the imperial physician.

I hope the imperial physician can find out what is wrong with both of them.

While Liu Rushi and her daughter were in excruciating pain, Su Yan had already gone out shopping with his maids and servants.

The imperial physician came to see him, and after examining him for a long time, he just shook his head.

"Doctor Li, what happened to my daughter?"

Doctor Li shook his head and sighed, "We can't find the cause of the illness. Their pulses are normal. But this situation doesn't seem to be an ordinary illness. As you said, they might have been poisoned."

"Can you tell what kind of Gu it is?"

"I'm not good at this, but you can send someone to find a witch doctor. Witch doctors are generally more experienced in dealing with Miaojiang Gu."

After sending Doctor Li away, Su Kangyong immediately ordered people to find a witch doctor.

While Liu Rushi and Su Rongrong were tortured beyond recognition every day, Su Yan leisurely went out for a stroll every day, listening to music and boating on the lake. His life was very pleasant.

However, her leisurely days did not last for long. Less than half a month after she returned to Beijing, the news that she had been taken away by bandits for an hour spread to everyone.

Many girls from noble families looked down on her when they saw her, as if she were a filthy person.

One day, Su Yan went to the Phoenix Tower to look at jewelry and happened to meet several ministers' daughters who were also there to look at jewelry.

When they saw Su Yan, envy and jealousy flashed across their eyes.

Xue Fang, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, immediately waved her handkerchief around pretentiously, as if there was something dirty around her.

Su Yan ignored her and chose his own.

Unexpectedly, this person went even further and whispered to those traveling with her that she had been defiled by bandits. In fact, anyone with normal hearing could hear the voice.

"Really? How dare she come out and flaunt herself in public?"

"That's right. If it were me, I would have hanged myself with a rope long ago."

"Some people are just shameless and have no regard for propriety, righteousness, or integrity."

"It's because her mother died early, so no one taught her these things."

"It's such a waste that she is so beautiful. It's a pity that she is a fallen woman."

The voices of the people talking were so loud that Su Yan couldn't pretend not to hear them.

So she walked straight towards them and asked with a half-smile, "Are you talking about me?"

Xue Fang said disdainfully: "You know I'm talking about you, but you still come here to make yourself miserable. You are really shameless. No wonder you dare to show off in public after being treated like that."

Su Yan retorted sarcastically, "Your upbringing is to speak ill of others behind their backs? Besides, where did you hear these rumors? Did you see them with your own eyes?"

Xue Fang said stubbornly, "Anyway, I just know it. Why do you care where I heard it from?"

Su Yan smiled and said, "I know it even if you don't tell me. I must have heard it from Su Mei'e. After all, she's that ugly girl. She's jealous that I'm prettier than her and that my mother left me a generous dowry. It makes sense that she spread rumors about me everywhere."

"You...you...are so self-righteous."

This was the first time Xue Fang met someone who spoke without restraint. Usually, the women in the inner house liked to say half and keep the other half.

Although the internal conflict is intense, they still have to maintain decency on the surface.

Who would have thought that Su Yan would tear off Su Mei'e's fig leaf right from the start, and then said that she was spreading rumors because she was jealous of her beauty.

I have never seen such a narcissistic and shameless person.

"Don't talk nonsense. You know what you've done. If it were me, I would just stay at home and not embarrass myself."

Su Yan smiled and said, "Yes, yes, you should have stayed at home and not embarrassed yourself. After all, when you and your cousin were secretly communicating with each other, you didn't even remember any etiquette or manners."

Xue Fang: "You're talking nonsense."

Su Yan laughed and said, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Do you think no one will tell others about what you have done?"

Xue Fang looked at everyone's suspicious eyes and hurriedly explained, "Don't listen to her nonsense. She is simply spreading rumors."

"Haha, I feel guilty."
