SEC Chapter 38 The Concubine's Daughter Sold by Her Father
Chapter 38 The Concubine's Daughter Sold by Her Father
Su Miao's mother was a prostitute and the most popular courtesan in the past. After a night of love with Su Miao's father, Su Mufeng, she became pregnant with Su Miao.
She originally wanted to use the baby in her belly as an opportunity to redeem herself and enter the Su Mansion, but she didn't expect Su Mufeng to pull up his pants and refuse to admit it.
He even mocked her: "You're just a whore who's been fucked by thousands of men, and you don't even know whose bastard this child is? You still want to take advantage of me? Dream on!"
Because Su Miao's figure was out of shape after she gave birth to her, Su's mother's courtesan was snatched away by someone else. She then became resentful of Su Miao and beat and scolded her every day.
Five years later, the courtesan fell ill and died. Before she died, she asked someone to place Su Miao at the gate of the Su residence.
Father Su disliked Su Miao because she looked like a courtesan and would definitely be a nuisance in the future. Furthermore, the existence of this daughter constantly reminded him of his past as a prostitute. If his superiors knew about this, he might even lose his official position.
But Su He, who was a few months older than Su Miao, liked her very much. Her mother, Mrs. Su, had a difficult delivery two years ago, resulting in two deaths.
In order to maintain his image of missing his late wife, her father never remarried. So now she was the only child in the family, with no friends to play with. So she said to her father: "Let's keep her. It's just an extra bowl of rice, and we can afford to support her."
So the two children of similar age played together every day.
Su Miao received a different education and environment from Su He, so Su He taught her every day: "Women should love themselves and keep a distance from men. How important is a woman's reputation? Don't have private dealings with men," etc.
These were the happiest years for Su Miao.
Until she was 10 years old, Su Mufeng pulled her to sit in front of the mirror and said, "Look, look, you are as seductive as your charming mother."
Su Miao was so scared that she didn't dare to speak and didn't understand what she meant.
Then Su Mufeng said, "I don't know whose bastard you are, but since the Su family has raised you for five years, it's time for you to repay them!"
Su Miao vaguely understood something, "No, please, father!"
Su Miao thought his father would be soft-hearted, but he only heard Su Mufeng's cold and ruthless voice: "If you don't go, then Su He will have to go."
Thus, 10-year-old Su Miao began her miserable life.
Until she turned 15, on her coming-of-age day, Su Mufeng arranged for her to seduce the Second Prince. But they were caught. To protect the royal family's reputation, the Emperor ordered Su Miao to be executed. He also grew disgusted with the Second Prince, effectively ending his chances of ascending to the throne.
Yes, the Second Prince lost power, and the Third Prince, who Su Mufeng supported, could ascend the throne. And Su Mufeng could arrange for Su He to marry the Third Prince, and in the future he would be the successor of the Dragon.
Everything is according to his plan.
When Su He went to collect Su Miao's body, he found scars all over his sister's body. When he returned home, he found that Su Miao's room had been burned to ashes by a fire.
Su He, who felt something was wrong, questioned the maid, but the maid did not dare to answer.
Su He used the hairpin to directly pierce the maid's palm, "I don't want to ask a second time! What happened to my sister's injury?"
The maid trembled with fear, "It's the master. The master often takes the second young lady out, about once a month, saying that he wants to show the young lady the powerful people in the capital!"
Also, the estrangement between you and the Second Miss in the past few years was caused by the Master spreading rumors and sowing discord between them.
The second young lady's room was burned, probably to destroy something."
The more Su He investigated, the more heartbroken she became: "It turns out my sister isn't as bad as I thought! She didn't take my words lightly. She still cares about me as her sister... Silly sister, why didn't you tell me? You have to bear it all by yourself..."
Su He went crazy and left the capital alone. He found his grandfather's house and asked his grandfather for the things his mother had given him.
Grandfather asked, "Have you thought it through?"
Su He nodded firmly. Then he ran to Huzhou to find Prince An, and the two of them conspired.
Then he returned to the capital, sounded the drum to report the incident, and accused Su Mufeng of colluding with court ministers, taking bribes and perverting the law, and committing favoritism and fraud, and attached evidence.
The emperor was furious and ordered all those involved in the case to be thrown into prison.
For a time, the entire capital was in turmoil.
Some people say, "The eldest daughter of the Su family sacrificed her relatives for the sake of justice, she is truly a role model for our generation."
Some people said, "She is suing her own father. This is extremely treasonous and ungrateful."
Su He didn't care about all the discussions. She only cared about whether she could avenge her sister!
The court was still in turmoil. Su He had already been thrown into prison and went to see Su Mufeng.
"You rebellious girl! You are a traitor!"
"Of course, I'm a rebellious daughter, a traitor. Father, are you a righteous gentleman? Don't think I don't know. My mother was pregnant for ten months, and you were a playboy for ten months! Is this what someone who always boasts about his deep love for his wife would do?"
Su Mufeng seemed to know that he had no chance of turning around, and sneered, "So, do you know who deserves to die the most among those who killed Su Miao?"
Su He said nothing, handed Su Mufeng a list, and said coldly: "Take a look? Who is missing?"
Su Mufeng ignored her and continued to talk to himself, "It was you, Su He, who killed Su Miao! Hahahaha, you never thought of that, right? At the beginning, she didn't want to go and wanted to commit suicide. I told her, 'If you don't go, then let Su He go!' Tell me, did you kill her!
Do you know why she seduced the Second Prince this time? I told her that if she agreed, I would agree that she could choose to marry the person she loves, not the Third Prince.
Su He turned pale instantly and suddenly became furious. In Su Mufeng's incredulous eyes, he took the sword and pierced his chest! Blood dyed his chest red.
When he walked out of the dungeon, the capital was in chaos.
This was something Su He and Prince An had discussed. While the emperor was investigating and the capital was certainly not well guarded, they took the opportunity to rebel.
It seems that Prince An succeeded!
Su He and his men were constantly busy, rushing around the homes of the powerful. Those were all the beasts who had bullied Su Miao! Not a single one escaped!
Everything settled down, and Su He suddenly felt empty inside. She seemed to be able to hear her sister's voice, following behind her and calling softly, "Sister, sister..."
She knew she missed her sister. With no one left in this world to worry about, she happily drank the poisoned wine she had prepared and went to find her sister.
"So, you want to stop Su He from committing suicide, right?" Sheng Jiang asked Su Miao.
"Yes, Immortal. My sister should have had a brilliant life. She shouldn't have fallen into hell because of me!"
"As you wish! Wait a moment." After saying that, Jiang disappeared.
At this moment, Su Miao was exactly 15 years old, and Su Mufeng was arranging for Su Miao to seduce the second prince.
Sheng Jiang frowned at the timing. Just then, she heard Su Mufeng say, "Don't worry, as long as this is done, I will keep my promise and let He'er marry the man she loves. I will never break my promise!"
Jiang instantly became furious and stood up and walked towards Su Mufeng.
Su Mufeng looked at Jiang, whose aura was different and whose eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his heart instantly became uneasy. "You...what are you going to do?!"
"What for?!" Sheng Jiang sneered, "Of course I'm sending you to death!" After saying that, he grabbed Su Mufeng's neck with both hands and twisted it 360 degrees.
He glanced at Su Mufeng, whose eyes were wide open on the ground, and said, "Bah! Scumbag, it's too easy for you to die like this!"
Ginger was extremely unhappy with the timing; she didn't like showing up when things had already happened.
Since you have a second chance to live, why not come and go with a clean heart?
[Ginger, Su Miao's energy is too weak, so time can only go back to this point] Duoduo said.
[Well, this is all trivial, let me backtrack]
Having said that, Sheng Jiang moved his hands back and chanted a spell. In the blink of an eye, time and space began to rewind like a videotape, all the way back to the year when he was 10 years old.
On this day of this year, Su Mufeng took Su Miao and sat in front of the mirror. "I have raised you for so many years, it is time for you to repay me."
"Oh?" Su Miao's expression instantly changed to Jiang, "How do you want me to repay you?"
Su Mufeng was surprised: This cheap daughter doesn't seem afraid? No matter, as long as the adults like it, it's fine.
"Of course, I'm going to take you to meet some powerful people and expand our Su family's network of contacts."
"It seems that Lord Su likes this kind of thing very much. How about you go for me?" As soon as Sheng Jiang finished speaking, Su Mufeng's appearance changed, becoming like a 10-year-old child: with a bit of innocence and a bit of semi-maturity.
"Come," Sheng Jiang stood up and pulled Su Mufeng, asking him to sit in front of the mirror. "Master Su, look at your appearance now. You can be both male and female. There are not only male dignitaries in the capital, but also female dignitaries. They can all become your clients. Are you satisfied with this?"
Su Mufeng looked at the person in the mirror in horror, "Who are you? You devil! I am your father! Aren't you afraid of divine punishment for doing this?"
"Divine punishment? Lord Su, don't you think what you said is funny? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, and you, for your own glory and wealth, are actually selling your own daughter? You are worse than an animal! What's with the divine punishment?
And I've made you so beautiful, everyone in the capital, from the emperor to the ministers, will surely like you, shouldn't you thank me?"
"You! You are such a traitor!"
"Whatever you say." Sheng Jiang looked at him with a smile, "I'm going to start receiving customers tonight, so be prepared." After saying that, she walked out of the room.
Seeing Su He also at the door, Sheng Jiang smiled and said, "Have you been listening here for a while?"
Su He stared at Sheng Jiang in a daze, "My sister, she..."
"I know you just came back to life. Remembering that today is Su Miao's first day of receiving customers, I hurried over. Actually, I came here because of your sister."
"What about my sister, is she okay?"
"She's fine, just a little weak. Once this crisis is over, she should come back on her own." Sheng Jiang dodged and said, "Let's go in and see that scumbag. What are you going to do?"
"I wish I could cut him into pieces!"
When Su Mufeng saw Su He come in, his desperate eyes instantly lit up again: "He'er, He'er, I'm your father, save me!"
Su He walked forward and, in Su Mufeng's hopeful eyes, slapped him hard: "Who are you scolding? I'm still your father! My father died a long time ago!"
Su He was skilled in martial arts, and after one slap, Su Mufeng's face swelled up.
Sheng Jiang disagreed: "Look, we're still waiting for him to do business in the evening. What if he gets his face hurt and the customer is unhappy? You can kick him or use a barbed whip. As long as you don't hit his face, you can hit him anywhere else."
Su He smiled: "You're right. Killing him directly would be too easy for him. He must also taste the suffering that Miao Miao has endured! But to be honest, his appearance is too amazing, it is truly unparalleled in the world!"
"Of course, how could I possibly produce inferior goods when I'm the master? Look at this thing, neither male nor female, it could be either. Isn't it more beautiful than Dongfang Bubai?"
"Dongfang Bubai? Who is that? He's so arrogant, he actually dares to call himself Bubai?!"
"Ahem, he's a Jianghu figure. I see you have good aptitude, but your Kung Fu is too weak. I think the martial arts manuals are not suitable for you. I'll give you a copy of 'Wedding Dress Magic' and another copy of 'Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees', which are just right for your practice. How about it?"
Su He got the two books, read them, and was instantly fascinated. He couldn't wait to start practicing.
