CHAPTER 844: CHAPTER 848: MASTER’S MIGHT (26)

Su Li mercilessly pierced the hearts and lungs of the Su Family couple.

Su Bingchao suddenly raised his head, showing discontent toward Su Li for the first time.

"Don’t look at me like that. You can’t blame me for Su Fei’er’s affairs; this is the path she chose herself."

Mrs. Su collapsed all at once, crying and shouting, "But if you just helped a little, she would be fine."

Su Li responded coldly, "The brain is a good thing; you can help for a moment, but not for a lifetime."

"Besides..." Su Li grinned and said, "I never help fools."

Indeed, in Su Li’s eyes, Su Fei’er was a complete fool, and an irredeemable one at that.

As a Su Family lady who looked quite like her original self, Su Fei’er’s treatment since childhood was no worse than hers, if not better.

Because of the affections of Old Master Su and Mrs. Su shifting to her, they truly protected her like a precious gem.

The Su Family’s education was excellent, and there was no saying that women should be ignorant; from childhood to adulthood, Su Fei’er went to school with her brother Su Qing.

With outstanding knowledge and talent, she was a renowned talented woman and beauty.

The Su Family had a daughter, and the family’s doorstep was worn out by matchmakers from the city.

The more people sought her, the more the Su Family refused to easily marry off their daughter.

Among so many young talents, Su Bingchao and Mrs. Su were dazzled, determined to choose the most suitable and excellent match for their cherished daughter.

In the end, while they were wholeheartedly planning for her, this girl somehow secretly got involved with a boy from the Yan Family.

Speaking of that boy, Yan Hui, he wasn’t too bad, but the Su Family had long excluded him from the list of potential sons-in-law due to the Yan Family’s poor family culture.

The chaotic scheming and rivalry in the current Family Head of the Yan Family’s inner quarters were well-known in Jiangnan City.

And since the Su Family had few members, and Su Fei’er grew up in an overly sheltered environment, she had never seen too many complex matters or even more malicious human nature.

In the girl’s heart, everything was beautiful, and everyone was kind.

How could the Su Family dare to place such a Su Fei’er into a den of wolves and tigers?

Besides, although Yan Hui might look presentable and appear talented, he was only superficially glamorous.

If the beam is crooked, can the rafters stay straight?

The relationship between Yan Hui and his cousin living in his home was ambiguous, known not only by the Yan family but occasionally by outsiders as well.

Such a man, regardless of perspective, was not a good choice for a spousal candidate.

But Su Fei’er, who had always been obedient and considerate, made up her mind like a weight on a scale and was determined to choose Yan Hui.

She caused a huge commotion in the household, fully exhibiting her unreasonable willfulness, either by throwing tantrums or by silently protesting through hunger strikes.

No one knew what Yan Hui had given her to swallow, as she remained unmoved despite her family’s repeated attempts to reason with her, sticking to her resolution to marry into the Yan Family.

Previously seeming quite normal and clear-headed, once it involved romantic matters, her mind seemed to have been waterlogged.

Parents can never really overpower their children, so in the end, what else could they do but accede to Su Fei’er.

Could they truly bear to see her grow increasingly haggard and joyless?

As it happened, not long after Su Fei’er married into the Yan Family, a major rift occurred between the two families.

This was no longer something that could be chalked up to a simple conflict; it was a matter of life and death.

The Yan family’s malicious scheme would have succeeded if not for Su Li’s intervention; otherwise, the entire Su Family would have been annihilated, and as an external bride of the Su family, what good outcome could Su Fei’er have expected?

That day, Yan Hui himself admitted that he only married her because he thought she could be of use.

After the incident, with Su Li as a major force behind the Su family, the Yan and Xu Families became cautious in their actions, even if the Su family made excessive demands, they would agree as long as they weren’t exterminated.

Moreover, bringing Su Fei’er back home was hardly much of a concession.

But no one expected that her brain was made of tofu; after a few dry and sorrowful explanations from Yan Hui, she actually changed her mind, refusing the Su family’s attempt to bring her back home, insisting on staying at the Yan house.

The Yan Family was ecstatic, knowing that as long as Su Fei’er was there, no matter what ideas the Su family had against them, they’d have to consider their daughter’s feelings.

It was as if they’d obtained an unwritten golden medallion, growing increasingly audacious.

This time, the Yan family finally understood Su Fei’er’s brainless nature.

At first, they kept quiet out of fear.

But as time wore on, the impression of fear left by Su Li gradually faded, and they began to stir.

Yan Hui soothed Su Fei’er so well that first, he had her plead with her family to stop actions against the Yan family.

Then, he began finding various reasons to reach out to the Su Family couple to ask for good things.

Su Li was aware of this matter.

However, back when she gave many trifling items to the Su Family couple, she never intended to intervene.

Having given them those things, it was up to them how they used them.

Nonetheless, their endless greed was surprising.

The fact that they could be found in Su Xuan’s private treasury meant that even an inconspicuous pebble was an extraordinary treasure to these mortals.

The Yan family, roundaboutly extracted those good things from Su Fei’er’s hands, growing even less satisfied.

They even began to set their sights on Su Li.

The Su Family is formidable now mainly because of that influential person they have.

If the Yan family produced someone like that, then in the future...

Such thoughts were quite beautiful.

Thus, in the days to follow, Su Fei’er began frequently bringing relatives from the Yan family to visit.

Every time, finding various excuses to appear before Su Li, which annoyed her to no end.

Subsequently, leaving no courtesy, she directly expelled them from the Su house, forbidding their return.

It was perhaps at this turning point that Su Bingchao and his wife harbored grievances against Su Li.

However, close their relationship with Su Li might be, it could never compare to the bond with their own daughter, sharing the same bloodline.

Yet, the Yan family seemed not to know how to write the word ’give up.’ When one tactic failed, they came up with a foolish one.

Su Fei’er became pregnant, but somehow, the pregnancy was unstable and unlikely to carry to term.

According to a sage, if the baby could benefit from the blessings of an Immortal, it might safely be born and live a life of joy and peace.
