1556 Cheng Su’er’s Abnormality (2)
Even the eldest prince had spoken. No matter how unwilling the City Lord’s wife and Cheng Xin’er were, they had to “talk” to Cheng Su’er.
After bidding farewell to the eldest prince, the City Lord’s wife and her daughter followed Cheng Su’er to her courtyard.
“All of you can leave. No one is allowed to come in without my permission.” Cheng Su’er instructed the maidservant.
“Yes, Madam.” The maidservant replied respectfully and quickly left.
After the maid left, Cheng Su’er smiled at the City Lord’s wife and daughter and made an inviting gesture. “Madam Sister, please sit.”
“There’s no need. Madam Su, just tell me what you need.” The City Lord’s wife said, clearly unmoved.
Sensing their hostility towards her, Cheng Su’er couldn’t help smiling bitterly. “I’m sorry.”
Cheng Xin’er suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Cheng Su’er as if she was looking at a monster.
“Cheng Su’er, what exactly do you want?”
Cheng Xin’er didn’t believe that Cheng Su’er would apologize to them sincerely for no reason at all. It was really suspicious.
The bitter smile at the corners of Cheng Su’er’s mouth deepened, and there were all kinds of regret in her eyes.
Suddenly, she knelt down in front of the two of them.
Cheng Xin’er was startled by her sudden move and she subconsciously dodged to the side.
“Cheng Su’er, what are you doing? Are you trying to frame us again?” Cheng Xin’er said angrily with a dark face.
Cheng Su’er shook her head. “There’s no trick. I’m sincerely apologizing to Madam and Sister. It was my fault in the past. I was blinded by greed and didn’t know what was good for me. If it weren’t for the impure thoughts of my mother and I, Madam wouldn’t have bothered to make things difficult for us at all. Unfortunately… I understood too late.”
Speaking of this, Cheng Su’er couldn’t help but tear up.
The City Lord’s wife frowned and a sharp dark glint flashed through her eyes. “Do you have something to ask of me?”
“Yes.”
Cheng Su’er admitted directly, “I want to beg you, Madam, please be magnanimous and not hold it against my mother. I hope Madam… can protect my mother in my father’s backyard and let her live a peaceful life. Please, Madam. As long as you agree, I can give you anything you want.”
Cheng Su’er’s mother wasn’t the only concubine. There had been many fights in the harem.
Even though she knew that her mother used her more, rather than treated her sincerely, she was still her mother after all and the only family she couldn’t let go of.
“What do you mean?”
No matter how simple Cheng Xin’er’s mind was, she also sensed that something was wrong with Cheng Su’er. “Can’t you take care of your own mother? Besides, you’re the favorite concubine of the eldest prince right now. Who would dare to disrespect your mother?”
Cheng Su’er held back her tears and shook her head. She immediately kowtowed to the two of them three times solemnly. “Madam, Sister, please.”
Apart from Cheng Xin’er and her mother, she really didn’t know who to beg.
As for her so-called father, the City Lord? There was no need to mention him.
The City Lord’s wife stared at Cheng Su’er, who was kneeling on the ground and not getting up for a long time.
Just as Cheng Su’er was in despair and thought that she wouldn’t agree, she suddenly said, “Alright, I promise you. As long as your mother can behave herself in the future, I’ll protect her for the rest of her life. But if she doesn’t know what’s good for her, it’s not my fault.”
Cheng Su’er immediately looked up and said gratefully, “Thank you, Madam. Thank you, Madam.”
