Chapter 806: No end to her troubles ——2
After Su Yiqian was done helping the old lady, she got back to the living room. She was hoping to return to the imperial courtyard as soon as possible. With these troublemakers who came to cause a ruckus in her life like this, surely the news of them causing a huge commotion at the entrance of the capital must have reached the Emperor.
She had spent a lot of effort to make the Emperor fall for her even though he did not dote on her as he did on the Empress, he did dote on her more than the rest of the concubines.
Before other concubines instigate the Emperor by making up one thing after another. It was better for her to go and coax that old man!
However just as she headed towards the entrance of the grand mansion, she was stopped by Su Lan who was standing in the middle of the corridor as if waiting for her.
" Sister Wan Wan," Su Lan sweetly called Su Yiqian by her old name. Before coming here, her father had told her to keep reminding Su Yiqian of her past —— he told her that this was a great way of dealing with Su Yiqian who was way above them.
Sure enough, when Su Yiqian heard Su Lan call her Su Wan, her expression changed. She hated that name as well as the life she lived in the small village —— clearly, she was meant for great things, how can she allow herself to be bound by the past that she was trying to forget?
Thus, Su Yiqian was really upset with Su Lan when she called her Wan Wan. With a quick glance around the corridor, she pulled Su Lan inside a room and then glared at her before saying, " Why are you calling me, Wan Wan? My name is Yiqian. You can call me Her Highness or something along the line. Why do you insist on calling me, sister Wan Wan?"
Her Highness? Su Lan sneered coldly as she looked at Su Wan who was dressed in a fine set of clothing with gold and silver jewelry.
She was envious of this sister of hers, clearly, she was a country b.u.mpkin from the same village as her but just a small b.u.mp in her head and she woke up as an imperial concubine.
Why didn"t something like this happen to her? She also fainted many times in her life so why didn"t she woke up as a rich woman?
Su Lan was jealous of Su Yiqian but she also knew that she could not offend this woman which was why she suppressed her jealousy in her heart and once again smiled at her as she said, " Sister Yiqian, as you already know I am seventeen years old can you … help me look for a match…maybe if possible one of the prince?"
Su Lan did not think that she was any bit less than Su Yiqian. Since this woman could become an imperial concubine then why can"t she?
When Su Yiqian heard that Su Lan wanted to be matched with a prince she snorted in disdain.
Seeing Su Yiqian snort at her, Su Lan of course understood that this woman was looking down on her and got furious.
How can this woman look down on her? Just because she woke up in the body of an imperial concubine does not mean that she was one as well.
Su Yiqian was clearly a peasant girl and just like her, her father was a country b.u.mpkin as well.
So how can she despise her when the two of them were the same? ????????.???
If it was not for her good fortune, she would be living a life as five men" plaything.
Her life would have been so difficult that forget about wearing gold ornaments and fine clothes, she would have died working. Since this sister of hers was a coward, she did not dare to act courageously without backing and since they sold her off to the Lin family —— if not for the exchange of souls, she would have become the slave of the Lin family where that Old Madam Lin would have swallowed her whole!
And she dared to think she was not good enough?
Su Lan"s eyes narrowed as she immediately started to sob and turned around to walk out before rushing to the room where Chu Lian was staying.
Of course, she told Chu Lian how Su Yiqian treated her while exaggerating here and there.
Su Lan was Chu Lian"s darling daughter and she was also pretty envious of Su Wan"s luck.
Her life wasn"t good and she had to rely on becoming a man"s mistress to raise her status, while Su Wan"s mother was treated as the apple of her family"s eye just because she was born in a good family.
Was she going to let her daughter live the same life? Of course not.
So, after Su Lan finished telling Chu Lian what happened to her, Chu Lian rushed to Su Bai and told him everything. She was a stepmother and could not do much to Su Yiqian but Su Bai as her father could definitely deal with her!
Chu Lian wiped the corner of her eyes and then said, " She is treating us like such on our first day here, if this goes on she will kick us out of this place in just a few days!"
Since she knew that Su Bai did not care for anything more than his own benefits, Chu Lian targeted those benefits.
Sure enough, when Su Bai heard that Su Yiqian was treating their daughter as such, his eyes flickered and he thought of something before arranging for the entire family to come out with him.
Because Su Yiqian wanted to show that she was treating them well, she asked the servants to prepare a table full of good dishes.
Even though those dishes made them drool, Su Bai still took his family out of the mansion and brought them to a small bun shop.
Since his and the Su family"s appearance was so flashy, the store owners were already quite familiar with Su Bai and his family.
Thus, when the owner of the bun shop saw Su Bai coming to his small shop, he couldn"t help but ask, " Master what are you doing here? Shouldn"t you be staying at the mansion of her highness, concubine Su?"
" Ah, what can I say brother? I can only say that the life of the rich is not for poor people like us…can you give my family a bowl of dumplings? I promise to pay you back soon," Su Bai did not say anything out loud but his wronged expression along with the red-rimmed eyes of Chu Lian and Su Lan made people suspicious of what really happened inside the mansion.
