Chapter 294: Would You Believe It If It Spread?

Little Madam Jiang stood in the room and kept trying to placate Su Ying. Su Ying immediately shot her a look, signaling to her to shut up.

Only then did Little Madam Jiang finally believe that Su Ying had really changed. She was no longer like the old Su Ying!

When she saw that the people from Prince Qi’s Manor were about to arrive but the reinforcements had yet to arrive, Little Madam Jiang’s mind raced as she thought about how she could stall Su Ying.

“Mistress, the people from Prince Qi’s Manor are here.”

Little Madam Jiang raised her head and saw the guards of Prince Qi’s Manor entering and moving the things out of the courtyard one by one. Her heart was practically dripping blood. All these things were hers!

Just as the guards of Prince Qi’s Manor finished moving the things, the officials from the Capital Governor’s Residence finally arrived!

“Someone, help!” Little Madam Jiang screamed and rushed out.

“Lord Lin, please save the Prime Minister. He was almost beaten to death by Princess Consort Qi!”

The Capital Governor, Lord Lin, happened to be in the residence’s office getting some work done. Just as he was about to go out on business, the maidservant from the Prime Minister’s Residence arrived. When he heard the maidservant’s report, he immediately rushed over with his subordinates.

It was a big matter that Princess Consort Qi had hit the Prime Minister.

In the worst-case scenario, this was a crime that could send her to jail for a long time. Even in the best-case scenario, Prime Minister Su was Su Ying’s biological father. If Su Ying hit him, it was a case of great unfilial piety, and the government could do something about it.

Lord Lin had long heard that Su Ying was a scoundrel, but he hadn’t expected her to be so bold. When he walked in indignantly, he was stunned.

Little Madam Jiang also followed in a panic. “My Lord, you have to help the Prime Minister…”

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Prime Minister Su’s hand reach out to hit Su Ying.

“Argh! Father, 1 know 1 was wrong. Don’t hit me anymore!” Su Ying covered her head and fled like a rat. She was no longer as arrogant as she was earlier.

Little Madam Jiang and the others stood rooted in the same spot in shock.

Prime Minister Su was still furiously chasing and hitting Su Ying, completely oblivious to Lord Lin and the other officials who had walked in.

“Help, help!” Su Ying quickly hid behind Little Madam Jiang. Prime Minister Su still pursued her to that spot.

While they were chasing and evading each other, Prime Minister Su’s slap landed on the face of Little Madam Jiang.

When Little Madam Jiang cried out in pain, Prime Minister Su came back to his senses.

However, it was still hard to hide the anger on his face.

If Lord Lin wasn’t present, it would have been fine, but Su Ying was the Consort of Prince Qi, after all. He couldn’t just idly watch her get beaten up, so he had no choice but to personally step forward and stop Prime Minister Su.

“Prime Minister Su, calm down. If you have anything to say, say it calmly. You are one family. Why let your relations.h.i.+p get damaged by such minor things?”

Prime Minister Su was about to go mad with rage. The moment Lord Lin arrived, Su Ying let go of him. He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and wanted to hit her right away. He really wanted to beat Su Ying to death!

“Lord Lin, don’t worry about us. This is a family matter of the Prime Minister’s Residence. Please stand aside.”

Prime Minister Su gritted his teeth and pushed Lord Lin aside. Lord Lin didn’t expect a civil official like him to be so strong. He staggered back a few steps from the push and almost fell to the ground.

“Father, I’m calling you Father because I’m filial. If you continue to be so tyrannical, don’t blame me for not showing you courtesy!” Su Ying suddenly stood behind Lord Lin and said angrily.

Prime Minister Su’s temples were bulging furiously. “Su Ying, I’ll beat you to death today!”

Pow!

Prime Minister Su’s vicious slap landed on Lord Lin’s face.

At that moment, the whole place fell silent.

Lord Lin suppressed his rage. He was the Capital Governor, after all, and he was slapped in front of his subordinates. How could he swallow this loss of dignity?

However, he still retained his rationality. The other party was the Prime Minister, after all.

“Prime Minister Su, calm down first!”

When Prime Minister Su saw the red palm print on Lord Lin’s face, he finally calmed down!

Su Ying stuck her head out from behind Lord Lin and gave a mocking sneer at Prime Minister Su.

The anger that Prime Minister Su had just suppressed surged again. He would kill this evil daughter sooner or later!

Lord Lin suppressed his displeasure and asked everyone to sit down and explain the situation to him.

“I heard from someone from the Prime Minister’s Residence that Princess Consort Qi wanted to kill the Prime Minister. Is that true?”

Before Prime Minister Su could speak and before Little Madam Jiang could force her tears out, Su Ying spoke up, “Lord Lin, do you believe them? I’m here all alone. Do they think 1 can kill Prime Minister Su when everyone in the whole residence is present?

“Lord Lin, when you walked in just now, you saw clearly who was trying to kill who. They attempted to murder me, a Princess Consort. This is a serious crime!”

“Su Ying, how dare you distort the facts and invert the right and wrong here!” Prime Minister Su never knew that Su Ying was such a sharp-tongued and eloquent person.

Su Ying shrank her neck back in fear after being yelled at by Prime Minister Su, looking like she was downright terrified.

Lord Lin did not find Su Ying’s reaction surprising at all. Su Ying was a scoundrel, but she was afraid of Prime Minister Su. This was something that many people knew.

“Prime Minister Su, since this is a family matter of your residence…”

“This isn’t a family matter. It’s Su Ying who wanted to murder me. It’s her fault!” Prime Minister Su didn’t want this matter to be settled as a family dispute. If that happened, Su Ying wouldn’t receive any punishment.

Lord Lin had intended to give the Prime Minister’s Residence a graceful exit, but Prime Minister Su clearly didn’t want it.

“In that case, I can only make an official report and handle it in accordance with the law. The few of you have to follow me back to the government office first.”

“And the things she took from the Prime Minister’s Residence. She must return them all!” Su Yuyan added.

Lord Lin was truly confused. He could only look at Su Ying. “Your Highness, can you tell me what is going on?”

Su Ying nodded. “It’s like this. 1 came here today to take away the dowry my mother left behind back then. Later, Prime Minister Su didn’t allow it, and Mrs. Prime Minister also tried to stop me. I argued with them a little. Although they brought the dowry items out, they were probably angry. After all, who was willing to spit out what they had swallowed? They attacked me outright.”

Lord Lin agreed with this statement. When he and his men arrived, they saw the guards of Prince Qi’s Manor moving things onto the horse carriages, but they didn’t look like they had fought.

In the Chu State, if a husband’s family coveted the dowry given by his wife’s family, they would be severely criticized and publicly censured.

To think that the Prime Minister’s Residence did such a thing?

Lord Lin inadvertently heard a piece of scandalous gossip.

“Please explain, Prime Minister Su.”

“This evil daughter is clearly making things up. She was the one who made the first move. She barged into my Prime Minister’s Residence, injured the guards of the Prime Minister’s Residence, held me hostage, and even wanted to kill me. Now, she still has the guts to twist the facts and invert the right and wrong. She is downright despicable!”

“Yingying, back then, 1 was the one who took care of Elder Sister’s dowry. Mother has always kept it for you. How… how can you attack your father for those few things… He’s your father…”

Su Ying gripped her thigh vehemently and her eyes became red-rimmed. “You mean to say that 1 alone injured dozens of guards in the Prime Minister’s Residence and almost killed my father? Do you think anyone will believe you if this spreads out?”

Lord Lin instinctively shook his head. He would not believe it!

Regardless of how many years he had been working on cases, he wasn’t able to remain calm. As he looked at Su Ying’s slender arms and legs, she probably couldn’t even defeat a single guard, let alone dozens of guards!

Lord Lin felt that the Prime Minister’s Residence had gone a little overboard..
