Transmigrated Genius: Fragile Heiress Reigns Supreme-Chapter 484 - 487: Rumors (1)

Madam Hu wiped her tears on the side, nodding in agreement.

The Grand Dowager looked at Hu Suqing, shaking her head in disappointment.

Hu Suqing lowered her head, not seeing the Grand Dowager’s expression at that moment: "Suqing knows that all the misunderstandings this time must have hurt you, but we didn’t mean for this to happen. Our house caught fire, and my mother and I had nowhere to go but to stay in an inn. Who knew such rumors would spread on the streets? When I heard them, I was furious and couldn’t bear it. Unfortunately, I was frightened by the fire last night and only just woke up this moment. As soon as I woke, I came with my mother to apologize to you and hope you can forgive us. As for the misunderstandings with the two Uncles Tong and the Capital City Government, we will definitely clarify them!"

Xiqiu almost laughed. This Hu Suqing has an outstanding eloquence and is really someone to be reckoned with.

"Alright, alright!" The Grand Dowager waved her hand and said, "No matter the internal details, from now on, our two families will not have any interactions. I also don’t want to make things difficult for you." Saying this, she waved her sleeves and said, "You may leave!"

Hu Suqing’s body stiffened as she cried, "Grand Dowager, please forgive us. We really didn’t mean to do this. We were also used by others, Grand Dowager..."

The Grand Dowager didn’t want to hear another word from her and waved her sleeve, saying, "Send them out!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Nanny Wu personally led the servant women to step forward.

Hu Suqing suddenly screamed and suddenly turned to look at Xiqiu, kneeling as she faced Xiqiu, her face covered with tears as she pleaded, "Fourth Madam, Suqing and my mother really caused our mistakes unintentionally. Please, I beg you to forgive us, plead with the Grand Dowager to forgive us. My mother and I kneel here in apology to you, we really know our faults!"

As she spoke, her complexion turned pale, as if she could collapse at any moment.

Xiqiu didn’t move but raised her eyebrows, looking towards Fourth Master Xiao.

Fourth Master Xiao furrowed his brows, looking at the mother and daughter with disgust.

"Miss Hu, whether this is a misunderstanding, I’m sure you know very well. Since mother isn’t pursuing the matter, please leave soon!" Xiqiu said indifferently, then turned her head away from them.

Hu Suqing, however, suddenly crawled forward on her knees, kneeling in front of Xiqiu: "I know, I know that Fourth Madam doesn’t like me, but this time it really was unintentional. I’m telling the truth."

Xiao Yanzheng coldly sneered, blocking in front of Xiqiu, and looked at Hu Suqing, saying, "Unintentional mistake? An unintentional mistake can make a horse go mad and harm the two Uncles Tong? An unintentional mistake can set fire to one’s own home? An unintentional mistake can burn all the servants and handmaidens to death? An unintentional mistake can spread rumors against sister-in-law far and wide?" She snorted coldly, "Miss Hu, your unintentional mistake is truly peculiar."

"I didn’t!" Hu Suqing’s face turned pale, wobbling weakly as if she couldn’t hold on.

Madam Hu couldn’t bear to hear any more: "Suqing, don’t speak anymore, you need to worry about your health." She clutched her daughter dearly, but Hu Suqing still leaned weakly into her embrace. Seeing her daughter like this, Madam Hu gritted her teeth and cried, "We did this because you forced us!"

Upon hearing this, the Grand Dowager, who was about to return to her room, couldn’t help but turn back and look at her, as if she never recognized Madam Hu, her face full of sarcasm: "We forced it?"

"Yes!" Madam Hu said righteously: "Our two families were originally related by marriage, Suqing was supposed to replace her sister to marry in as the legitimate wife, if Fourth Master Xiao hadn’t insisted on observing mourning for three years and not marrying, Suqing would have already entered the Xiao Family’s door!" As she spoke, she pointed at Xiqiu: "Where would there be room for this woman to stand!"

"But now our Suqing doesn’t want to compete, she only wants to become a concubine to Fourth Master Xiao, is that too much? If it weren’t for Fourth Madam’s jealousy, if she could be virtuous and magnanimous and accept Suqing, how could there be such a thing today? It was all forced by you!"

Everyone in the courtyard showed expressions of disbelief and astonishment.

Hu Suqing looked at the expressions of the crowd, her heart sinking bit by bit.

She clenched her fists, weakly saying: "Mother, please stop talking!" Saying this, she forced herself to stand up, her weak body seemingly swayed by the wind. She stumbled forward to Fourth Master Xiao, her voice low, tears falling like broken beads, mournfully saying: "Fourth Master, I confess I admire you, since seeing you for the first time five years ago, I have admired you, and the only thing I’ve wanted to do all these years is to marry you..." Her voice carried endless longing and expectation: "Though I know that my love for you may seem humble, I cannot help but love you, and for you, I could die. I have no other plea, only to stay by your side, just to see you from afar every day, that’s enough!"

Fourth Master Xiao’s eyebrows slowly furrowed.

"Fourth Master!" Hu Suqing desperately let out a faint smile, wiped her tears and said: "We sisters, in life we are your people, in death your ghosts!"

With that, she suddenly tore away from Madam Hu and turned to throw herself with all her strength against the corner of the wall!

Madam Hu screamed, "Suqing!"

The Grand Dowager and the Second Madam, as well as the First Madam and Xiao Yanzheng were all taken aback.

Xiqiu was also stunned, not expecting Hu Suqing to make a desperate bet in front of Fourth Master Xiao in the end!

In a flash, Fourth Master Xiao grabbed Hu Suqing’s hand.

Hu Suqing’s body froze, a glimmer of hope rising in her heart, she turned to look at Fourth Master Xiao, immediately stunned.

Only to see Fourth Master Xiao’s eyes cold as a blade staring at her...

Hu Suqing’s body couldn’t help but tremble!

"Seeking death?" Fourth Master Xiao released Hu Suqing’s hand, squinting his eyes saying, "Someone, take her to the Capital City Government."

Not a shred of mercy or room was left for Hu Suqing.

Hu Suqing was utterly disappointed, stunned in place, her mind blank for the first time.

Even in death, she barely moved him.

This man has such a cruel heart!

Someone grabbed her hand, and Hu Suqing struggled fiercely, screaming, "Fourth Master, I only wish to stay by your side, even as a servant I have no complaints, please, please make it possible for me!"

Fourth Master Xiao didn’t even look at her, waved his sleeve to turn around, his deep voice without a trace of warmth, yet firm and resolute, each word dropping with a clang.

"In this life, I will never take a concubine!"

With these words, everyone in the courtyard was stunned.

Xiqiu was also taken aback. She did not deny she liked this man, but within this love and affection, she had to admit many factors were intertwined, as he was her reliance for the future. So she adapted, made herself conform to him, tried with all her might to be like other women, taking her husband as heaven, taking him as her guide. Although she tried, it made her affection less pure.

Regarding Hu Suqing, it wasn’t as if she hadn’t thought about it. If the Grand Dowager or Fourth Master Xiao wanted to bring her into the household, what would she do?

The answer was, she would agree.
