The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!-Chapter 989 - 987 Coquettish Princess

Chapter 989: Chapter 987 Coquettish Princess

All were taken aback by these words.

Especially Su Qinghe, although he had only just met Lu Ying, he was already impressed by her temperament and felt that she far surpassed Wu Jinyan, making her the perfect match for Su Hao. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

But unexpectedly, he had been outmaneuvered by her!

His aged face instantly became one of discomfort.

Su Qingzhi stood up, “Go and ask Lu Ying to come here.”

Zhilan immediately went to carry out his order.

Lu Ying had been waiting in the room today for Xuan Zhu, and since Xuan Zhu had not returned for so long, she surmised that something must have happened to her.

As she entered the hall, she was greeted by a strong smell of blood, and upon seeing Xuan Zhu in a pool of blood, Lu Ying’s eyes darkened.

Before Su Yingxue could interrogate her, she knelt directly in front of Su Qingzhi, “Old General, Lu Ying admits her fault and hereby bows to you in apology!”

“Do you think just admitting your mistake will suffice? You disrupted my brother’s and Sister Jinyan’s wedding, you tarnished the honor of the Marquis’s Manor, killing you wouldn’t even begin to make up for it!” Su Yingxue shouted angrily on the spot.

Thinking of the heartbroken Su Hao and Wu Jinyan, she felt an urge to slay Lu Ying right then and there.

With the Ninth Prince also present, Lu Ying listened quietly to Su Yingxue’s scolding without uttering another word.

“Miss Lu, I held you in such high regard, yet to think, I’ve become a pawn exploited by you! This is simply too much!”

Enraged, Su Qinghe pounded the table while his beard trembled.

Kneeling upright, Lu Ying’s face, distinguished with prominent features, carried an expression of apology, “Old sir, I’m sorry! It was I who used you, but… if I hadn’t done so, I wouldn’t know any other way to stop the wedding, to prevent the Su family’s lineage from being tainted, to keep Su Hao from being deceived!”

“You…”

For a moment, Su Qinghe found himself at a loss for words.

Compared to what Lu Ying revealed, the fact that he was deceived by her seemed insignificant.

The most critical matter today was that they prevented Wu Jinyan, the woman carrying another man’s child, from becoming the Marquis of Martial South’s young madam.

Su Qinghe initially breathed a sigh of relief, but remembering that ultimately, Su Qingzhi was in charge, he sat back down.

Su Qingzhi, dressed in a black robe embroidered with discreet patterns, had white hair and beard, yet his eyes were sharp and piercing, exuding a formidable presence.

Under his scrutinizing gaze, Lu Ying couldn’t help but tremble.

She knew that Su Qingzhi must be angry with her.

But Su Qingzhi was even more strategic!

“Miss Lu, over this period of time, are you aware of how well the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor has treated you?” Su Qingzhi’s words seemed gentle but carried an overwhelming pressure, the kind honed on the battlefield amid armies, steeped in the stench of blood.

Lu Ying’s hands, hanging by her side, clenched into fists, “The Manor has shown me great care and support, and the Old General has been very kind to me.”

“Since we treated you well, how did you reciprocate? Today’s events have brought shame upon the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor, ruining our reputation!” Su Qingzhi roared with a force that lowered the pressure in the entire hall to an extreme.

Chu Yihan held Su Yingxue’s hand, pulling her into his embrace.

He could sense that the Old General’s anger distressed Su Yingxue.

Instinctively, Su Yingxue nestled into Chu Yihan’s chest, her cheek pressing tightly against him as if coquettishly seeking comfort.

Though she said nothing, just leaning into his embrace, Chu Yihan felt as sweet as if she had fed him honey.

Facing Su Qingzhi’s questioning, Lu Ying’s face turned pale; after bowing her head to Su Qingzhi, she defiantly lifted her gaze, “Old General, I admit I had selfish motives in my scheming. I could have told you as soon as I knew about it, asked you to stop the wedding! But… but if I did that…”
