The Yandere Male Lead Chases Me-Chapter 835: Bai Lian’s Male Pet Stirs Up Trouble 28
If the Su Family had no direct male descendants, adoption was the only recourse.
At that time, before Su Yan was born, the chosen candidate for adoption was Su Haihua.
All the Su Family’s wealth and the Marquis title obtained by Mr. Su would all belong solely to Su Haihua after Mr. Su’s death.
Regrettably, Su Yan was born.
And was firmly declared as male by Su Mu.
All of this was consequently beyond the reach of Su Haihua.
As a result, Su Haihua’s situation within the Su Family became very awkward.
This dusky evening.
Su Haihua encountered Su Yan at the entrance of the Marquis Mansion.
In the recent five years, Su Haihua had always been working away from home.
Their encounters were rare.
After a moment, Su Haihua spoke up
"You are the legitimate son of the Su Residence, you must take on some responsibilities and not distress your uncle."
Su Yan nodded,
"Alright, cousin."
Hearing Su Yan’s acquiescence, Su Haihua took a second look at her.
Su Yan’s unruliness and arrogance, perhaps only those who have experienced it would understand.
In the past, Su Yan would not take such words seriously or would become even more rebellious upon hearing them.
Now seeing him seemingly settle down all of a sudden, it caught Su Haihua somewhat off guard.
Su Haihua’s gaze was unfathomable, and he left an ambiguous sentence
"Good that you know."
After speaking, he remained silent.
And walked away from the Marquis Mansion.
Once Su Haihua left, Su Yan continued walking into the mansion.
Lanzhi couldn’t help but speak up
"Young Master, I’m afraid Lord Haihua still holds a grudge against you for blocking his path."
Su Yan nodded
"I’m aware."
At that moment of encountering Su Haihua. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
She felt the malice emanating from him towards her.
Especially since hearing her genuine agreement, that malice only intensified.
In this era, the hierarchy of status is clearly defined.
Su Haihua is a brother, yet a member of a cadet and illegitimate line.
His clothing, however, came from the same batch of embroidery ladies as Su Yan’s.
His feelings are not as simple as just holding a grudge against her.
Perhaps, Su Haihua is still coveting the succession of the Marquis Mansion.
If she were to die.
Naturally, the right of inheritance would fall back into his hands.
Su Yan’s eyes were downcast.
Pondering over these matters.
Lanzhi spoke up
"Young Master, the old master has been sending people to invite you these past few days, will you go to see him?"
"Why?"
Lanzhi hesitated for a moment
"Perhaps it’s because you have been frequently visiting the brothel these days."
A Young Master of noble standing, neglecting his duties, spending every day in the brothel.
That alone would be fine, but he doesn’t seek the company of ladies, instead, he favors young men.
Hasn’t this turned into a laughing stock for the Capital citizens during their leisure conversations?
Su Yan shook his head
"Wait till the day after tomorrow, after I have redeemed Ji Yu, then I will go see Father."
Lanzhi acknowledged
"Yes, Young Master."
Soon, two days passed.
As Su Yan walked the streets, she heard the widely spread rumors about her gay interests and penchant for Longyang, causing a huge stir.
News of this was everywhere in the streets and alleys.
It was as if this news had blown up overnight.
Su Yan was unaffected, but it caused Lanzhi great worry.
When she arrived at the brothel.
Because it was daylight, the brothel was not yet open for business.
Su Yan placed a silver note of three thousand taels in front of the Brothel Madam.
The Brothel Madam held the silver note, smiling so much she couldn’t close her mouth.
"The Young Master is generous, and what a straightforward person. The Madam here admires the Young Master the most."
While speaking, the Madam took out a neatly folded paper from her sleeve.
Unfolding it revealed the words ’Contract’ with Ji Yu’s handprint and name at the bottom.
Su Yan took the Contract and headed towards the second floor of the back courtyard.
As she went upstairs, she saw the door to Ji Yu’s room wide open.
From inside came the voice of Ouyang Qing, sounding resentful
"I ask you again, Your Highness.
Why must you choose to follow that Young Master and refuse to leave with me?
Have I treated you poorly?"
