Su Yaoyao lowered her head, the corners of her mouth curling upward uncontrollably!
Su Huai was first stunned, then his face turned red with anger as he shouted loudly, “Ungrateful girl! Get out here!”
Zhou Jianyue almost jumped in fright when she heard a male voice, but quickly regained her composure and even showed a hint of anticipation.
As for what she was anticipating… that was obvious.
Su Huai’s entire face turned a deep liver-red, his anger making him dizzy. Zhou Jianyue steadied him faster than Zheng Rui could.
Zheng Rui’s lips twitched, her eyes slicing toward Zhou Jianyue like knives.
Su Yaoyao theatrically shouted, “Oh my God! There’s… a man’s voice in Sister’s room?! Wait… that explains why Sister refused to see me just now last night she actually ”
She deliberately left her sentence unfinished, leaving the rest to the imagination.
Jingzhe and Jianjia were equally horrified and both stood to check inside!
Seizing the moment, Su Yaoyao yelled, “Someone! Drag these two wretched maids away for me!”
Zhou Jianyue frowned, “The Eldest Miss hasn’t appeared yet. Perhaps there’s some misunderstanding.”
Zheng Rui gave her a cold look. “What do you mean by that, Miss Zhou? It’s obvious what’s happened what misunderstanding could there be? Do you think Su Lingqing did nothing wrong and you want to follow her example?”
Finally, Su Huai glanced over. “Jianyue is not that kind of person. Don’t speak recklessly!”
Zheng Rui couldn’t believe it at a time like this, Su Huai was still defending Zhou Jianyue!
She then shot Zhou Jianyue another venomous glance.
Wretched woman! No wonder she’s so arrogant when favored how many love potions did she feed Su Huai?
Su Yaoyao glared at Zhou Jianyue, then quickly steered the conversation back.
“Father! What should we do now? I never expected Sister could actually… do something like this!”
She covered her face, feigning disdain. “By doing this, Sister has trampled Father’s honor into the dirt! What if others find out? Sister is utterly foolish!”
Su Huai, already disgusted with Su Lingqing, felt even more nauseous seeing her timid, unpresentable demeanor.
“Enough! This ungrateful girl has clearly grown tired of life! She’s well-fed and taken care of, yet she deliberately seeks trouble!”
He kicked the door hard but unexpectedly, it didn’t open, and he ended up falling flat on his rear!
Now he was even angrier.
To make a fool of himself in front of everyone, Su Huai nearly lost his composure entirely.
Zhou Jianyue stifled her laughter, recalling all the embarrassing moments to suppress the grin trembling at her lips.
“Sir, take care not to anger yourself.”
Zheng Rui had originally wanted to step forward to help him. She genuinely worried he might have hurt himself, but at the last moment, she withdrew her hand.
Since he was already unseen, why bother inviting trouble?
Su Huai got back on his feet, and Su Yaoyao continued adding fuel to the fire: “Father, look! Sister even locked her door… she must have known she’d be discovered and deliberately went against us!”
Zhou Jianyue seized the opening to question, “If that’s the case, why didn’t the Eldest Miss go outside? Anyone with sense wouldn’t do something so reckless in her own room, knowing it’s risky.”
Su Yaoyao opened her mouth but didn’t speak. Oh no, she hadn’t thought it through she had just been too excited!
After hearing this, Su Huai calmed slightly and turned to look at his daughter.
Zheng Rui snorted coldly: “Hmph, does this really need so much thought? She probably thought no one in the house was paying attention and acted recklessly. And it’s not the first time! It just so happened that Yaoyao came to apologize, which is why this humiliating incident came to light.”
Hearing her mother’s words, Su Yaoyao straightened immediately. “Exactly! You’ve been defending Sister suspiciously! Are you involved too?”
Zhou Jianyue couldn’t help but chuckle. “Second Miss, why so anxious? I was just pointing out my doubts. Besides, Sir hasn’t said anything, yet you and your mother have spoken so much. Someone unfamiliar might think you hate the Eldest Miss and are trying to ruin her.”
Su Huai listened quietly. When Zhou Jianyue mentioned him, his eyes swept over everyone before lightly settling on Su Yaoyao.
And then he said nothing.
Zheng Rui, a bit nervous, stepped forward: “Husband, this matter with Yaoyao ”
Su Huai raised his hand, cutting her off.
Remaining silent, he brought the entire courtyard to a hush.
He was about to speak when suddenly, a voice came from the dim room inside.
“Damn… so noisy! You idiots don’t know how to conduct business. Dawn just broke, and you’re already making so much racket!”
Hearing the voice again, Zheng Rui’s face turned pale!
No wonder it sounded familiar it was Tao Yong!
She suddenly realized the key point and looked sharply at Su Yaoyao.
Su Yaoyao only suppressed her excitement, clutching the handkerchief and wishing she could fly inside to see!
Zheng Rui’s chest tightened painfully.
Foolish! So foolish!
Even if someone had to get on Su Lingqing’s bed, it couldn’t be him!
Tao Yong was a distant relative still family! If this got exposed later, how could she possibly claim ignorance?
If Su Lingqing and Su Huai hadn’t changed, maybe it would have been fine. Secretly marrying Su Lingqing off to Tao Yong to suffer, Su Huai wouldn’t have said much.
But now… the situation was entirely different!
Zheng Rui almost tore a hole in her sleeve in frustration. If not for the timing, she would have slapped Su Yaoyao twice!
Su Huai roared in fury: “Outrageous! This is the Shangshu residence, not some tavern! You beast, get out of here immediately!”
Tao Yong had been exhausted after almost an entire night. Coincidentally, the drug was extremely potent this time, and the person underneath had hardly made a sound all night, letting him wreak havoc.
But hearing the noise outside, he finally realized where he was.
Exhausted and barely awake, he forced himself to get dressed and go out to properly greet his future father-in-law.
Su Yaoyao sighed. “Ah! Sister really went too far! Why did she even bring someone like this… truly shaming Father! What utter shamelessness!”
“Who exactly is shameless here, little girl?” A thunderous voice exploded in everyone’s ears.
Su Yaoyao and Zheng Rui froze, thinking they had misheard.
Su Lingqing’s cloak was still damp with morning dew, her face slightly tired as she stepped forward.
Beside her was someone else Su Yuan!
Su Lingqing hadn’t been in the room at all!
“Ah, Father, Mother, why are you both here? So many people, how lively!”
She stepped up the stairs, with Su Yuan beside her. The two looked as close as real siblings.
Su Yaoyao felt as if she had seen a ghost. “Y-you… what are you doing here?! Weren’t you supposed to ”
At the same time, a shrill, pig-like scream erupted from inside the house, echoing through the sky!
