Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 148 The truth (3)
It wasn't until after lunch that Mrs. Zhao said to Su Wan: "I came to you this time because I actually have something to tell you."

Hearing that Mrs. Zhao finally spoke, Aunt Fang smiled again.

Su Wan smiled slightly, and said politely: "If you have anything to say, just say it! I'm all ears."

Mrs. Zhao didn't realize Su Wan's politeness and alienation towards her, so she still said calmly: "Get someone to release Fang Qiaoling!"

Su Wan didn't expect Zhao Shi to be so direct and so natural, she couldn't help being slightly taken aback, then she shook her head slightly and laughed.

Seeing Su Wan shaking her head, Mrs. Zhao thought she disagreed, and asked coldly, "What? Are you refusing to agree?"

When Su Wan heard the words, she asked without answering, "Mother thinks, should I agree?"

Mrs. Zhao frowned slightly, and after a while, she said: "Could it be that you are still blaming Qiaoling in your heart? She was only deceived by others, so she was sent to get rid of evil spirits. But in the end, aren't you okay? Besides, she is now You have already been taught a lesson, you should leave her a way out just because she has served you for many years."

After hearing this, Su Wan sneered and said: "Your words are so strange, she wants to have me burned to death, so should I forgive her? Since she did something wrong, she has to be punished. What's wrong with that? Yes? Also, it’s not that I’m all right, at least my mother still believes her words until now, and she refuses to believe me, right? If it wasn’t for the appearance of Zen Master Liao Tong, I’m afraid I’d already be reduced to ashes by now, with no bones left Yes. To me, this enmity is irreconcilable, I am kind enough not to kill her, but you still want me to let her go, do you think it is possible?"

When Mrs. Zhao heard Su Wan's words, she couldn't help but be speechless.Because she didn't know how to refute Su Wan.

After a while, Mrs. Zhao said insincerely, "I don't believe you."

Su Wan smiled slightly. If Mrs. Zhao would trust her, she would definitely not treat her like this.

"I will never agree to this matter, because I will never forgive those who betrayed me, let alone those who want to kill me. It's getting late, I should go back, and you should take care of yourself."

After Su Wan finished speaking, she stood up and wanted to leave.

"Stop!" Mrs. Zhao called out to stop her, her face flushed abnormally because of her agitation, she stroked her chest, and said in a cold voice: "If I order you to let Qiaoling go ?”

Su Wan turned around and looked at her calmly, and asked, "Why do you have to do this? Could it be that Fang Qiaoling is more important to you than my own daughter?"

"You are not my biological daughter at all!" Zhao Shi blurted out directly.

Su Wan's expression remained unchanged, and she asked quietly: "Since you don't think I'm your daughter, then what identity are you using to order me now?"

Mrs. Zhao was stunned, yes, since the other party doesn't know her daughter, why should she listen to her?Why did she order her?Is it because she occupies her daughter's body?
In fact, apart from her personality being different from her daughter's, the other party's filial piety and dedication to her were no worse than her own daughter's. Therefore, she took it for granted that Su Wan would not disobey herself, let alone disobey her orders.

Su Wan looked at her quietly, and said: "On the one hand, you think that I am evil, reject me, hate me, and refuse to recognize me, but on the other hand, you let me fulfill my duties as a daughter. Meaning, don't you think this is really unfair to me?"

"I...I don't know..." Zhao's head was a little confused.

"If you really don't want to recognize me, it's okay to say that I won't come to the door anymore. If you still think that I am your daughter, then don't do this kind of thing to make your loved ones hurt your enemies. After all , people's hearts are made of flesh, and I will feel chilled too." After Su Wan finished speaking, she turned around and left, regardless of what Zhao Shi thought, turning a deaf ear to Aunt Fang's shouts and pleadings.

After Su Wan left, Mrs. Zhao was in a daze for a long time before slowly recovering.

"Madam, I beg you to save Qiaoling. As long as you tell Miss well, she will definitely agree." Aunt Fang knelt on the ground and pleaded to Mrs. Zhao.

Su Wen stepped forward, as if he had made up his mind, and said to Mrs. Zhao: "Mother, what's wrong with you? Why do you have to hurt my sister's heart? Do you know that my sister has done this for us? How much did the family sacrifice?"

"Sacrifice?" Mrs. Zhao suddenly turned her head to look at Su Wen, "Brother Wen, what do you mean by that?" Didn't Sister Wan marry into the Marquis of Changwu's mansion early, and enjoy endless prosperity and wealth, so how could she sacrifice herself? ?

Su Wen decided to tell his mother the truth, lest she keep misunderstood that her sister had changed.

"Mother, since you fell ill, the family has spent almost all of their money to carry on. My sister has no choice but to ask the British government for help." Su Wen said.

"I know this!" Zhao said with a sigh: "Thanks to the help of the British government, not only did I invite the imperial physician to treat my illness, but also let you go to ethnology, and even your sister married into the Marquis of Changwu. Only the government, our family can survive this catastrophe, with the good life now, the kindness of the British government to our family is like rebuilding, and we are afraid that we will never be able to repay it for the rest of our lives."

Hearing Mrs. Zhao's words, Su Wen sneered and said, "Mother only knows that the British government has been kind to us, but she doesn't know what price my sister has paid for this, and what kind of life she is living in the Hou's residence."

"This..." Although Zhao's natal family is not too rich, they have not experienced any hardships, let alone suffered any setbacks. After marrying into the Su family, the family relationship is simple, and they have been living in the back house. Their thinking is relatively simple , Believe what other people say, I have never doubted it, and now I heard Su Wen's words, I realized that I have been thinking too simple all this time.

"What's going on? Tell me carefully." Zhao asked eagerly.

"Princess Shouning asked her elder sister to marry into the Hou's mansion as her successor, and also asked her to drink... the sterilization soup, otherwise, she would not ask for medical treatment for her mother, let alone let me go to ethnology. Sister Even if she married into the Marquis of Changwu's Mansion, she was just a puppet, and she had to obey the words of those dowry slaves in everything. Because her sister was from a bad family background, she didn't even have the slightest right to speak in the Marquis Mansion... "

Speaking of this, Su Wen couldn't help sobbing. He raised his sleeves and wiped away his tears. He heard all this from Su Zhao, the grandson of Yingying Gong. He, therefore, Su Wen knows all about this.

"No, that's impossible!" Mrs. Zhao shook her head and said, "Miss Wan obviously seems to be doing well, calling slaves and maidservants, and even sealing her orders, how is it possible..."
