Chapter 270 – My Son Has Facial Paralysis (part 1)
Li Su sat on the edge of the bed with an expressionless face.
Today was her wedding night, but the groom was nowhere to be seen. At this time, he was probably having a private meeting with his widowed sister-in-law!
Without saying a word, Li Su lifted her veil and strode out of the new house. Wen Yu and Wen Mo, her dowry maids, quickly followed. When the maids in the Jiang residence saw her coming out, they were shocked. “Young Mistress, the veil hasn’t been lifted yet. How can you walk around at will? This is against the rules.”
Li Su smiled sweetly. “Just now my mother gave me a vision and told me that there is something fun to watch today. Let’s go, I’ll take you to see it together!”
Then, she walked straight ahead. Wen Yu gave Wen Mo a look before they followed.
The maids of the Jiang family, looked at each other. They then ordered someone to tell the madam and old madam before they also followed.
This was the first time Li Su had come to Jiang family’s house. She was not very familiar with the mansion. She only knew that Jiang Hewen and his sister-in-law were having a private meeting in Snowfall Pavillion at this time, but she didn’t know where Snowfall Pavillion was.
When she left room in the new house, Li Su didn’t know where to go.
Wen Yu stepped forward. “Young miss, where are you going?”
“Where is Snowfall Pavillion?” Li Su asked. She remembered that Wen Yu and Wen Mo had travelled to the Jiang mansion many times before they got married. Maybe they knew.
“Young miss, this way.” Wen Yu really knew where it was.
Li Su took a mighty crowd to Snowfall Pavillion.
Inside the Snowfall Pavillion, Jiang Hewen and Su Ruxue were entangled. They were inseparable and their clothes were dishevelled. Suddenly the door was kicked open from the outside. Li Su brought someone in.
When Li Su’s people saw this scene, they trembled with anger. Wen Yu quickly covered Li Su’s eyes. “Young miss, don’t watch such a filthy scene. Don’t get your eyes dirty!”
But Li Su pushed Wen Yu’s hand away. “How can I not look at it? If I don’t look clearly, wouldn’t I be a fool until I die?”
Wasn’t the original owner a fool until death? She didn’t even know why she didn’t have a child, and she also implicated her adopted son. In order to avenge her, he lost his life in vain! All her life, she had been making wedding dresses for others! Stupid!
At this time, the servants of the Jiang family also saw this scene. Their eyes widened in shock. “Third young master! Second young mistress! You are…”
Uncle*sister-in-law* adultery! This was big news!
“Quick, quick! Go tell the old lady! Go quickly!”
Jiang Hewen’s eyes widened. He didn’t forget to dress Su Ruxue. What the hell was going on?! How could she bring people here?! Snowfall Pavillion was where eldest sister lived during her lifetime. After eldest sister hanged herself because of her love, it became haunted. Few people came here. He and Ruxue have been meeting privately for three years here and no one had ever found out. Why was it now that people had found out?
Li Su stood up awe-inspiringly. “Jiang Hewen! The marriage contract between you and me was made by my parents. When my parents passed away, I had to observe filial piety for three years. I once said that I didn’t want you to waste my youth, so the marriage contract was abandoned. But you, before my parents, said that you would wait for me for three years, and the marriage contract would not change! I was very grateful. But you should never have humiliated me on our wedding night! Humiliate the Li family! My parents died in battle. How tragic to have you humiliate me!”
Then, without waiting for Jiang Hewen to explain, she said loudly, “Everyone has seen what happened today. It was Jiang Hewen who made a mistake first. The marriage contract is over! Let’s go!”
“County Princess, wait!” Said Mrs. Jiang-Wang, the eldest madam of the Jiang family who came over in a hurry. She glared at Jiang Hewen, and then looked at Su Ruxue with a poisonous expression.
Su Ruxue had calmed down from her panicked state at this time. She knew that she was now dead, and neither the madam nor the Jiang family would let her go.
Su Ruxue’s face was as white as paper, and she began to regret it. She regretted that she should not fight for the length of time. She regretted meeting Hewen tonight. If they hadn’t met, then this would not have happened. She won the battle, but lost the war!
“County Princess, this is a misunderstanding. It must be a misunderstanding. Hewen has been enamoured by County Princess for a long time. How could he do such a thing? Someone must be framing him!”Mrs. Jiang-Wang quickly explained.
Today was the wedding day of Hewen and the county princess. The guests in the family had not left yet. With such a big scandal, the reputation of the Jiang family would be ruined for a hundred years!
Everyone in the Jiang family hated Jiang Hewen and Su Ruxue, that bitch!
“You bastard! You still haven’t explained things to County Princess!” Jiang Hewen’s father, Jiang Wande, the eldest master of the Jiang family, glared at Jiang Hewen.
Jiang Hewen was busy getting dressed. “County Princess, listen to my explanation. It’s her! She seduced me!” Jiang Hewen knew the importance of this matter. Today’s matter would not only ruin him, but the entire Jiang family! Li Su’s parents died for the country defending the land. She was taken in by the empress dowager and His Majesty. She was also the empress dowager’s adopted daughter, and the county princess appointed by His Majesty!
Love was important, but compared with life and his family’s future, it was not as important.
So, Jiang Hewen betrayed Su Ruxue without hesitation.
Although Su Ruxue was mentally prepared, when this scene really happened, she was still chilled. This was her lover, who pampered her every day. The lingering sweet words in bed still seemed to ring in her ears, but now…
Thinking about her life, it was so worthless! Obviously they met before, but because of a marriage contract, they couldn’t stay together! She did not hesitate to marry a tuberculosis ghost to achieve her objective, and lost her life just to be able to meet him day and night. It was a pity that, after years of dreaming, she finally had to wake up.
Li Su looked at the absurd scene in front of her and then thought about the plot. She just felt disgusted! She sneered. “I came to Jiang Mansion for the first time today. How do you think that I knew that you would be meeting privately like this? My parents just entrusted me with a dream. In the dream, they told me that you, Jiang Hewen, are despicable, shameless, and dirty villain! You and her have had an affair for a long time, before she entered the mansion! It has been about five or six years now! She is your second older sister-in-law. When your second older brother was terminally ill, you were already hanging out with her in this legendary haunted Snowfall Pavillion!”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the people present immediately changed. People nowadays were very much in awe of ghosts and gods. Due to Li Su’s eloquent words, people believed it.
If what Li Su said was true, then the third young master and the second young mistress…
Thinking of this, the Jiang family looked at Jiang Hewen differently. Especially the eldest young master Jiang Hecheng and his wife. They looked at Jiang Hewen with extreme hatred. Jiang Hewen ranked third in the family. The first two brothers, Jiang Hecheng and Jiang Hexian, were both born to the previous wife, and Jiang Hewen was born by Jiang Wande’s, Mrs. Wang.
“My Li family is loyal. I don’t want to be in the company of a villain like you!” Li Su said indifferently. “I will make it clear to His Majesty about today’s matter and will ask His Majesty to judge.”
Li Su was about to leave when Mrs. Jiang-Wang stopped in front of her. Li Su’s eyes widened, “What? Do you want to imprison me? Uncle Zhong!”
A middle-aged man who was blind in one eye pulled out the treasured saber hanging from his waist and stood in front of Li Su. He was Li Su’s father’s personal soldier who had been on the battlefield and killed people. He wasn’t afraid of anyone!
Mrs. Jiang-Wang shrank back.
Li Su left first with Wen Yu and Wen Mo. Li Zhong stayed with someone and took all Li Su’s dowry! These were provided by the lives of the general and the madam!
Li Su didn’t care what the Jiang family would do after she left. She didn’t even change out of her wedding dress. She went directly to the palace to complain.
Her father was a late mighty general who led the 8,000 soldiers of Han City, stalled the enemy’s army of 100,000 and bought time for the reinforcements to arrive in the rear. However, he and his wife died in the city, leaving only their daughter behind, the original owner.
Whether it was because of genuine guilt or political considerations, the empress dowager and His Majesty treated the original owner very well. After the original owner married Jiang Hewen, His Majesty valued Jiang Hewen a lot and supported him in every possible way. Because of this, Jiang Hewen also grew steadily. He was rich and prosperous to the end.
The news of the Jiang family’s farce had already reached the palace. The empress dowager and His Majesty were very angry, but they did not express their position. After all, Li Su had already visited Jiang Hewen. As for how to deal with this matter, they would still respect Li Su’s intentions.
Now that they heard that Li Su had entered the palace, the empress dowager quickly summoned her.
Li Su didn’t cry or make trouble. She just knelt on the ground and said that she wanted to divorce Jiang Hewen, begging the empress dowager and His Majesty to make it happen.
The empress dowager and the emperor had a tacit understanding on this matter for a long time. She looked at Li Su and saw that she was wearing a wedding dress, bright and generous. Unlike ordinary women, when encountering such a thing, they would either swallow their anger, or just keep crying. But, Li Su was calm and self-controlled, and she was not a tiger girl!
“Susu, get up and talk! Come to Our side,” the empress dowager said softly.
Li Su got up and walked to the empress dowager’s side.
The empress dowager took her hand and sat down beside her. “We were not satisfied with the marriage between you and the Jiang family. The Jiang family is not worthy of you. But this was decided by your grandfather before his death and We could not say anything. It’s better now to see his true face as soon as possible, so as not to suffer losses in the future. Tomorrow, We will decree that you will be divorced!”
Li Su smiled. “Thank you, Empress Dowager!”
The empress dowager remembered something. “By the way, you said that your parents gave you a vision. Is this true or false?”
“Of course it’s true. This was the first time I’ve been to Jiang family’s house. I don’t even know where Snowfall Pavillion is. Wen Yu led the way,” Li Su said seriously.
The empress dowager looked at her face carefully. She could not see that Li Su was lying, and so she nodded. It was probably General Li and his wife from heaven, protecting their beloved daughter!
“It’s your parents who are protecting you from heaven! Forget it, it’s just a Jiang Hewen. and just a divorce. Go back now. We and the emperor will pick a better one for you.” The empress dowager patted Li Su’s hand.
But Li Su shook her head and knelt on the ground again. “Empress Dowager, I don’t want to marry again. I’m begging the empress dowager!”
“Good child, how can you say this? There is no reason why a girl wouldn’t marry,” the empress dowager said.
“I’ve already married someone! It’s just that my husband is dead! I want to remain faithful to my deceased husband!” Li Su said seriously.
The empress dowager frowned. “Why are you doing this?”
“Empress Dowager, I’m begging you. I really don’t want to get married. Although I am a woman, I don’t want to be trapped in the back house. I still have a lot of things I want to do. My father left a lot of manuscripts before, all of them detail the experience of running the army and fighting wars. There are also my mother’s poems, which I want to organise and publish to pass them on to future generations. I also want to travel to famous mountains and rivers, and to see the beautiful land that my parents and thousands of soldiers guarded with their lives! Empress Dowager, I really don’t want to get married!”
When the empress dowager heard this, she was touched. It seemed that she also had such an idea when she was young. She wanted to travel to the mountains and rivers, and become a female poet whose work would be passed down through the ages. Later, she entered the palace and her dream came to an abrupt end.
After so many years, she saw it again in this girl…
