Chapter 715: Slapping Ye Zhenzhen
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Su Xinlan, keep a close eye on your daughter!” Su Qingzhi expressed strong displeasure when Su Han’s past was brought up by someone in the mansion.
Since Ye Zhenzhen was a descendant of the Changxin Marquis’s Manor and held the title of county lord, he refrained from reprimanding her directly. Instead, he issued a warning to Su Xinlan.
Ye Zhenzhen gritted her teeth after the reprimand. She noted how protective Su Qingzhi was of her.
Under Su Qingzhi’s protection, the embarrassment on Su Han’s face disappeared instantly, and she continued to manage the mansion’s affairs gracefully.
Su Han even served Ye Zhenzhen a cup of tea personally, displaying her graceful demeanor.
Ye Zhenzhen glanced at Su Han’s elegant smile, feeling a twinge of jealousy. If she could garner her grandfather’s favor like Su Han, her future status would undoubtedly be higher.
With these thoughts in mind, she stood up and bowed to Su Qingzhi. “I spoke out of turn earlier. Please don’t blame me, Grandfather. Both Mother and I were only considering the reputation of our Marquis’s Manor, hence our careless words. I apologize to you, Grandfather!”
She bowed her head, displaying sincere remorse.
If Su Qingzhi’s other granddaughters had offended Su Han, he might have overlooked it if they apologized. However, Ye Zhenzhen was Su Xinlan’s daughter, and Su Qingzhi didn’t favor her. Hence, he coldly remarked, “No need to apologize to me. Go apologize to Han’er.”
If Ye Zhenzhen were willing to apologize to Su Han, it would show her compliance, and Su Qingzhi might view her more favorably. But instead, Ye Zhenzhen stood up, gave Su Han a cold glance, and returned to Su Xinlan’s side without apologizing.
Su Qingzhi snorted disdainfully. Indeed, she wasn’t a good influence!
“Grandpa, there’s no need for this. Han’er doesn’t mind.” Su Han reassured him.
Beside Su Qingzhi, Su Han smiled gently. Her refined and graceful demeanor remained unchanged.
Su Qingzhi chuckled and patted her hand.
Today, Su Yingxue’s marriage had been settled grandly.
In the future, he would have to find a suitable match for Su Han.
Seeing Ye Zhenzhen being treated coldly, Su Xinlan hugged her tenderly. “My dear, it’s not your fault. It’s just that the people here don’t understand the rules. You did nothing wrong. You always have my support!”
“Mother, I can’t stand being treated like this,” Ye Zhenzhen murmured, feeling aggrieved. She had never been reprimanded by an elder like this before. She felt humiliated. Who did Su Han think she was?
Moreover, Su Yingxue hadn’t even made an appearance yet!
With these thoughts swirling in her mind, Ye Zhenzhen quietly slipped out.
Su Han noticed her movements and instructed Zhifen to follow her.
When Zhifen returned, she whispered to Su Han, “Miss, Ye Zhenzhen went to the medicine hut secretly.”
Su Han frowned slightly, considering Ye Zhenzhen’s character. She feared that Ye Zhenzhen might cause trouble for Su Yingxue, so she asked Zhifen to stay put and went to find Ye Zhenzhen alone.
Ye Zhenzhen was skulking around in front of the medicine hut, intending to sneak a peek at what Su Yingxue was doing inside. However, someone grabbed her wrist.
Su Han chuckled softly. “What are you up to, Zhenzhen? This isn’t the place for you. Come with me to the front hall, next to Grandpa.”
Ye Zhenzhen was startled by Su Han’s words. She broke free and glared at her. “How dare you!” she exclaimed. “You think you can treat the county lord however you want? Don’t forget your place. You’re just a discarded wife!”
She thought that calling Su Han a discarded wife would put her in her place, but Su Han smiled and retorted, “Sister, you’re not even married yet. How do you know the term ‘discarded wife’? It slipped out quite naturally. Do you have some personal experience?”
