Quick Wear: The male protagonists all fell in love with her at first sight

Chapter 273 The Young Master is Willing to Be a Mistress (18)

Since Liu Yuwan's miscarriage, Jianjia Courtyard has been surrounded by Qin Sheng like an iron barrel, causing Su Xuruo, who wanted to find out some information, to return empty-handed many times.

Although she hadn't had a chance to do anything yet, for some reason, Su Xuruo felt unusually uneasy. The calm of these days felt like the calm before the storm.

Seeing Su Xuruo's worry, Granny Wang comforted her, "Madam, please don't worry. Wang Er is always swift and decisive, and Qiu Ye is still in the shadows. Even if something happens, it will have absolutely nothing to do with you."

Su Xuruo nodded slightly upon hearing this, seemingly relieved. Thinking of Liu Yuwan, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said bitterly, "She's really useless. With so many people protecting her, she still managed to miscarry. Just like her wretched mother, she has no good fortune."

Su Xuruo had just married into the Marquis's mansion and her foundation was still shallow. A few days ago, she used her power as the steward to plant a few spies in each courtyard, but in just a few days, one of them was lost. How could she not be angry?

Seeing this, Granny Wang was about to step forward to comfort them when suddenly the tightly closed door was forcibly broken open from the outside, catching the master and servant who were having a private conversation off guard.

Before the master and servant could react, Qin Sheng entered with several maids and servants. Before Su Xuruo could speak, he solemnly ordered, "Guards, take this lowly servant who plotted against his master away."

Upon hearing this, Granny Wang tried to defend herself, but before she could even utter a word, a rough maidservant stuffed a handkerchief into her mouth and dragged her out.

The incident happened so fast that by the time Su Xuruo came to her senses, Granny Wang had already been dragged away. Seeing her personal maid being treated like this, Su Xuruo was furious and shouted, "Stop!"

But those people seemed not to hear her. Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Su Xuruo's face turned red and then pale, but she still had her senses.

The next second, she looked at Qin Sheng with tears in her eyes: "This is the first time my husband has come to my room since we got married. He brought a group of maids and servants and broke in. As soon as he arrived, he suppressed my wet nurse who has been with me since I was a child. He didn't give me any face at all. Has my husband thought about how I am supposed to deal with this?"

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string. Su Xuruo gently wiped away her tears with a handkerchief while pondering a solution in her mind.

Qin Sheng's expression remained unchanged upon seeing this, his voice calm and utterly sarcastic: "Su family, I gave you a chance."

These words made Su Xuruo pause. She knew what Qin Sheng was talking about. On the eve of their engagement, Qin Sheng had come to her and said that he already had a sweetheart in his heart and did not want to waste her life. So he took the initiative to promise to find her a good man who would protect her wealth and honor for life and would not let her reputation be affected in any way.

Su Xuruo gripped the handkerchief tightly, a sudden panic rising in her heart. Before she could speak, Qin Sheng spoke first, his voice like a demon from hell:

"Su, you have such a vicious heart. Wan'er has never been at odds with you, yet you have harmed her so cruelly..."

Su Xuruo was about to shout that she was innocent, but she was frightened by Qin Sheng's sharp gaze. The next moment, Qiu Ye, who should have been dead, was tied up and thrown in front of her. Beside her lay a man covered in blood and gore. Su Xuruo didn't dare to look at him for long.

The moment she saw Qiu Ye and Wang Er, she knew that Qin Sheng had found out everything she had done, but she still held onto a sliver of hope. She hadn't yet instructed Qiu Ye to do anything, so perhaps...

Before she could even try to explain herself, Qin Sheng took out a packet of medicine powder from his pocket, threw it in front of Su Xuruo, and then ordered someone to remove the gag from Qiu Ye's mouth.

The next moment, Qiu Ye burst into tears and begged Su Xuruo for help: "Madam, save me! Madam, save me! You said that as long as I turn this powder into water and sprinkle it on Aunt Liu's usual route, I will be freed from my slave status after it is done. Madam, please save me! I am following your orders!"

Su Xuruo was shocked to hear this and angrily retorted, "Nonsense! When did I ever give you such an order?"

After saying that, she turned to Qin Sheng and said, "Husband, believe me, I have never done this, nor have I ever thought of harming Sister Liu. Someone must be trying to frame me."

Liu Yuwan was furious. Wang Mama had told her about the powder, but before she could deliver it to Qiuye, something happened to Liu Yuwan. Now, Qiuye revealed the original plan, which shocked and horrified her.

Qin Sheng's expression remained indifferent upon hearing this, and his voice was equally cold: "Are you saying that even your trusted confidants would betray you along with others? Do you think I, Su Shi, am such a foolish person?"

No longer listening to Su Xuruo's explanations, Qin Sheng sneered, "It's my fault. My mistake was letting you into the family. Not only did I make my Yuwan subservient to you, but even our child..."

As if recalling something painful, Qin Sheng's throat tightened, and after a pause, he continued:

“I originally wanted you to pay for my child’s life with your own, but Wan’er is kind-hearted. She asked me to spare your life after you harmed her so much. I couldn’t bear to disappoint her.”

His icy eyes shot straight at Su Xuruo: "You may escape the death penalty, but you can't escape punishment. Once I write the divorce papers, I'll send someone to the temple. I want you to pray for my child for ten years. You'd better watch yourself."

When Qin Sheng said he wanted her to pay with her life, Su Xuruo was so stunned that she collapsed to the ground. Only after hearing him say that he wanted a divorce did Su Xuruo truly understand what it meant to be utterly devastated.

She didn't understand why Qin Sheng was so cruel to her. She was just a bastard's child, why was he making such a fuss over her and wanting to divorce her? What? Did he want to let that bastard take her place?

Su Xuruo unleashed all her vicious curses upon Liu Yuwan. Seeing Qin Sheng about to leave, she snapped out of her daze and grabbed at his sleeve, her usual poise and elegance completely gone.

"Qin Sheng, you are not allowed to leave. How can you divorce me? Grandmother and Mother will not agree to it. No, Aunt Liu's miscarriage has nothing to do with me. Don't let others..."

Unfortunately, Su Xuruo was stopped by the maids and servants before she could even touch Qin Sheng's clothes, and could only watch helplessly as the door closed, cutting off Qin Sheng's view.

Qin Sheng, standing outside the door, listened to Su Xuruo's words and his expression turned cold. He had known before that his mother disliked Wan'er, and he had always firmly believed that he could protect Wan'er and reconcile his mother and Wan'er. But he was wrong.

He never imagined that his mother could be so heartless, unable to even tolerate his child, who was also her grandson!
