Especially at his brother Su Fukang’s house. Madam Su, Qin Wan, sneered at Su Dingheng. “Letting go of such a good legitimate daughter and cherishing an unnamed concubine’s daughter, causing a scene without dignity. This Second Uncle is truly outrageous.”

Su Fukang twirled his beard, wearing a scornful expression. “Our Su family is known for loyalty. If it weren’t for Second Sister-in-law, how could he have inherited the title? He’s been enjoying life, even emptying his mind!”

Qin Wan couldn’t be bothered to scold Su Dingheng, but she worried about another matter. “With Second Uncle being so foolish, there might be troubles in the Marquis’s Manor. At this moment, it’s not suitable for us to trouble Yingxue.”

Su Fukang, upon considering this, frowned. “Forget it. Spend some more silver, hire a better doctor, and send it to the prince’s mansion in Yong’an County.”

Qin Wan wiped away tears. “That’s the only option. My daughter has suffered.”

Su Dingheng made a fuss outside for nothing, achieving nothing and receiving disdainful looks. Upon returning to the residence, he only wanted to vent his anger on Su Yingxue.

Upon hearing that Su Yingxue was in the ancestral hall, he rushed there in anger. “Su Yingxue, you’ve planned everything well. Not a single person is willing to help me bury Rou’er.”

Su Yingxue was offering incense with a pious attitude, completely ignoring Su Dingheng’s shouting behind her.

After finishing kowtowing, she stood up. A mocking smile appeared on her solemn face. “Father, your commotion is perfect, giving me a reason to expose Su Yurou’s corpse in the wilderness.”

“What… What did you say?” Su Dingheng was shocked and puzzled. His mind didn’t react quickly to Su Yingxue’s scheme.

Su Yingxue patiently explained, “Initially, I only left Su Yurou in the alley without touching her. However, Father, you were so anxious, wanting everyone to know I was abusing her. 1 pretended to stop you from leaving the residence, making you emotional before letting you go.”

“If you go to the palace to cause a ruckus, the truth will naturally leak out. If you go to the capital prefecture, the justice of the law will prove I’m not wrong. As for going to the homes of your uncles and aunts to cause a ruckus, even they won’t help you. How do you think the entire Jiang Du City will view you?”

Su Yingxue walked in front of Su Dingheng. Although not as tall, she used her immense aura to suppress him.

“They will only think you deserve to be abandoned by your family!” she said word byword.

If Su Dingheng didn’t make a fuss, exposing Su Yurou’s corpse in the wilderness would only lead to curses. However, Su Dingheng caused a ruckus. Not only that, he caused a huge ruckus. As she wished, Su Dingheng gained infamy. How could Su Yurou fare any better?

Naturally, she was marked with disgrace.

In this era, there was no tolerance for women. Su Yurou, a nameless and statusless illegitimate daughter, even though wrongfully killed, was only deemed worthy of being gossiped about briefly before being buried in the yellow soil.

Moreover, she was not wronged at all. She had done all kinds of bad things, and everyone despised her.

By exposing Su Yurou’s corpse in the wilderness, she fulfilled everyone’s wishes.

“Zhilan, you can dispose of Su Yurou’s corpse.”

Su Yingxue said in a good mood.

Zhilan was outside and replied clearly, “Yes, Miss. I threw it on an unknown wild mountain outside the city. 1 think it won’t be long before it’s eaten by wild beasts.”

“No! No! My Rou’er…”

Su Dingheng’s heart ached as he chased after her, but he couldn’t even cross the threshold and fell face-first onto the ground..
