Chapter 290 - 290: Defeat Su Yurou
If his hot-tempered father found out about this, he wouldn’t easily forgive him!
He had never allowed Liu Shulan to enter Marquis’s Manor!
Su Yingxue’s eyes brimmed with innocence. “Ever since I took over the Marquis’s Manor, I’ve been double-checking all the accounts. Firstly, to prevent any tampering, and secondly, because Grandfather is on the front lines, he’s also concerned about family matters. I want Grandfather to be informed about the situation in the Marquis’s Manor, to put his mind at ease!”
Her words were seamless, and no one could find fault with them.
Even if Su Dingheng wanted to punish her, he couldn’t find a reason.
However, this debt couldn’t be left on Marquis’s Manor’s accounts!
After reflecting on his loss, Su Dingheng gritted his teeth. “This bill goes to me. You don’t need to record it in Marquis’s Manor’s accounts!”
“This… Father, is it okay with such a large sum of money?” Su Yingxue appeared worried on the surface, but inside, she was sneering.
Su Dingheng’s private assets were more substantial!
“You don’t need to ask too much. I will handle this bill. You just focus on managing Marquis’s Manor’s accounts.”
Su Dingheng looked agitated.
Su Yingxue nodded obediently.
After Su Dingheng settled the bill, he returned to the front hall. When he faced Liu Shulan and her daughter, he looked livid, as if he wanted to devour them.
Although he had expelled Su Yingxue, she stood outside and listened. She could hear Su Yurou’s agonizing screams.
When she came out with Zhilan, the latter was still trembling. “Marquis spoils Second Young Miss so much, yet he’s willing to punish her like this.”
When Su Yurou was dragged out, her skin was torn and bleeding, much like what had happened to Su Yingxue in the past.
Su Yingxue coldly curled her lips. “Marquis dotes on Su Yurou because she knows how to flatter him. Now he’s punishing her because Su Yurou has infringed upon his interests and caused him to lose a substantial amount of money.”
Hence, no amount of favoritism could offset Su Yurou’s mistakes, especially when Su Dingheng was enraged, and Su Yurou deliberately displayed her greedy side to provoke him. This was a major offense!
“This time, Marquis has suffered a loss due to Su Yurou. He not only lost a significant amount of money, but you also reminded him that even though the Master is on the front lines, he’s the one who makes decisions in this family. Regardless of Marquis’s stature, he can’t outmaneuver the Master!” Zhilan admired Su Yingxue.
She had come up with the idea of giving the account book to her grandfather. This was the final move to strangle Su Dingheng. Su Dingheng might not be afraid of anything, but he couldn’t defy his father.
Master had never allowed Liu Shulan to enter the house, and this money had been spent by the mother and daughter, further fueling Master’s aversion. Consequently, Master would be even more dissatisfied with Su Dingheng.
Zhilan’s thoughts were correct, precisely Su Yingxue’s original plan.
However, she didn’t explain it comprehensively. “Not allowing Father to use Marquis’s Manor’s money serves another purpose.”
“What is it?” Zhilan inquired with curiosity, thinking there was more to learn.
A cold glint shone in Su Yingxue’s eyes. “The entire family property of Marquis’s Manor belongs only to my brother and me. Others should forget about touching a single cent!”
Su Yurou and Su Jinxuan would be removed!
The grudges from her past life needed to be settled in this one!
This was the first time Zhilan saw such profound hatred in Su Yingxue. She didn’t understand and didn’t dare to ask, but she knew that no matter what Su Yingxue ordered, she would do it!
After Su Yingxue returned to the accounting room, she asked Zhilan to relay a message to Old Madam Zhang. She told her that Su Yurou had many pieces of jewelry and silver, which, if sold, could fetch a substantial amount of silver..
