Residual face counterattack, shocking princess

Chapter 178 The First Tears 4
The voice was still serious and loving. If it was before today, this emotional call would have poured into her heart like a warm current, but at this time, she only felt chills.

How could he give her a fatherly love that she dared not expect, but at the same time push her into the fire pit?If he tried to resist the edict or begged the emperor to take back his order, Su Jin could still forgive him, but why was he the first person to agree to Chongxi?It disappointed her, and made her even more vaguely sad.

Immediately came the greetings from the bridesmaids and maidservants.

"You step back for now, Xi'er and I have something to say." Mu Qingruosu said.The bridesmaids and maidservants filed out after responding.Seeing that Su Jin was still facing him and didn't respond or turn around, Mu Qingruo's frown deepened, she walked slowly towards her, and gently pressed her hand on her shoulder, "Xi'er, I know You don't want to marry the second prince as a concubine, but the emperor's life is hard to do! Now that it's done, you..."

"That's it? Just obey and accept fate, right? Because I am your daughter, I can only accept all your gifts, right?" Su Jin turned around suddenly, looked at him with sharp eyes, her face was very cold.

Mu Qingruo remained silent, his eyes slowly swept across her sharp expression, with a light of deep thought.

"Dear father, I heard that the national teacher only mentioned that I was the most compatible with the second highness among the three, and did not specify who. The emperor was also hesitant at the time, not knowing whether to choose me or You chose Yin Ruoyao, but my father was the first one to strongly recommend me. Since you know that I am not happy, why do you still do this? I thought that after my mother’s grievances were cleared, you would truly accept me as a daughter, but you didn’t Thinking about it, in the face of fame and wealth, you still sacrificed my happiness without hesitation! I don’t know what good price I sold for? It must be very impressive, right?” The sharpness in Su Jin’s eyes was replaced by a touch of sadness, while the corners of her mouth were Put out a cold smile.

Mu Qingruo's lips were suddenly pursed into a forbearing straight line, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes.

Except for his own mother, no one dared to scold him face to face, even Mu Yuling, whom he once loved the most, but this Mu Yuxi, who was cowardly and ineffective by nature, dared to scold him?Is it reversed?

His face darkened, and he scolded coldly: "Xi'er, that's enough! Don't think that just because I love you, you can talk nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm just telling the truth!" Su Jin said forcefully without fear of his cold and terrifying eyes like a cheetah.

"You useless thing!" Mu Qingruo raised her hands high in anger, her eyes were full of anger.

Su Jin sneered and said, "Is Father going to beat me again?"

At that time, Mu Yuxi, who was abandoned and returned, was slapped several times by Mu Qingruohen who felt ashamed, and was humiliated by Yuan Lanqing and Mu Chanyue in turn, so she couldn't think of running and jumping into the river to commit suicide.Does he want to do it again now?
Mu Qingruo's body trembled, her hands stiffened, and after staring at her for a moment, she gently landed on her dark-spotted cheeks, stroked them slowly, and sighed softly: "You are Xi'er's sweetheart, Your eyes are the most similar to hers... When I look at you, I will think of Xi'er who died tragically. The remorse and pain pierced my heart like a sharp knife. I just want to make up for you, so why would I want you to marry For the second prince who doesn't know how long he can live? But, I have to do it!"

The pain in his eyes didn't seem fake.Su Jin was startled, and replied coldly: "I have to do it? But no one is forcing you to agree to this marriage!" Is this just his excuse?
Mu Qingruo withdrew her hand, sighed, and asked, "You really want to know?"

Su Jin nodded, she wanted to see what excuse he could come up with to prevaricate her.

Mu Qingruo took a deep look at her, and said with a wry smile: "Your temperament is really far from your mother's!" He was silent for a moment, as if hesitating, and after a long time he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not sure about this." I wanted to hide it from you for the rest of my life, alas, I never thought that I would not be able to hide it after all! You are the only flesh and blood left to me by Xi'er, how could I be willing to let you jump into this pit of fire? The reason why I voluntarily agreed to this marriage It's because that old man surnamed Yin dug your mother's grave in the middle of the night last night and stole your mother's remains! He threatened that if I didn't take the initiative to facilitate this marriage, I would If you want to burn your mother's remains... Tell me, what else can I do?"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Although he is extremely handsome, he always has a serious face, and even when he smiles, the corners of his mouth are slightly raised. This is the first time Su Jin saw him cry!And cry so sadly.Mu Qingruo's words struck her like a thunderbolt, and an inexplicable pain suddenly passed through Su Jin's body. Could it be that Mu Yuxi's remaining consciousness was overwhelmed by Mu Qingruo's tears or feeling the sadness? The resulting reaction?

Could it be Yin Youxiang who he said?

Yin Ruoyao was also among the candidates for Chongxi. It is true that Yin Youxiang would use all means to prevent his daughter from being selected, but digging graves and looting corpses in the middle of the night?It seems too shocking, right?Yin Youxiang, rumored by outsiders, exists like Bao Qingtian, what is upright, what is a breeze...

"Yin Youxiang doesn't seem like a person who does such immoral things. Is there any misunderstanding?" Su Jin asked with a frown covering her aching heart.

Seeing that Su Jin still didn't believe it, Mu Qingruo snorted coldly, took out a piece of crumpled and torn letter paper from her bosom, handed it to her, and said, "This is a letter sent by him, you can just read it." Know."

Su Jin took it over and took a closer look. Sure enough, it read: "Mu Qingruo: Yan Xi's bones are in my hands. This is just a small warning. If your daughter can't become the second prince concubine, then the bones will be destroyed." It can only be turned into ashes, you can figure it out!" But he didn't sign it.

Mu Qingruo's eyes have become cold, it is a kind of darkness that Su Jin has never seen before, revealing a trace of coldness, "Apart from the emperor and the national teacher, only me and the person surnamed Yin know who are the candidates for Chongxi. , this handwriting is clearly the handwriting of his confidant Bai Yichen, who else could it be? Do you really think he is as upright as the world praises? Not stained? That old fox even dared to murder the Fifth Prince, let alone such dirty things!"

Is the death of the fifth prince also related to Yin Youxiang?This news is too amazing! "Daddy should have told me about this early in the morning! We can discuss it together..." Su Jin frowned and said, but was immediately interrupted impatiently by Mu Qingruo, "You are just a weak woman raised in a deep boudoir, can you discuss it? What countermeasures? I have nothing to do, what else can I expect from you?"

Su Jin's words choked in her throat, and then she realized that she almost couldn't help revealing her secret, and she couldn't help feeling a little scared.If Mu Qing knew that not only was she not weak, but also more scheming than Mu Chanyue and those women, she might not be able to accept it.

Forget it, she'd better keep a low profile.

"Now, I have no choice but to wrong you and marry me first. If the second prince can miraculously recover, that would be good, if not..." Mu Qingruo sighed, "I will find a way to let you get rid of the second prince and concubine at that time." This false name, as long as you can be happy, so what if I lose my official position? Xi'er, please understand my painstaking efforts, for your mother's sake, pack up your mood and get married at ease!"

"The old fox said that as long as the wedding night is over, your mother's remains will be returned, so just bear with it!"

Su Jin was speechless, bit her lip and said again: "How can you be sure that Yin Youxiang will keep his promise? If I marry him, he will destroy the bones..."

"He dares? As long as one of Xi'er's remains is missing, I will fight him hard!" Mu Qingruo slapped the dressing table with such force that it was almost flattened. Burning with angry flames, his expression became a little distorted. Seeing Su Jin couldn't help trembling, he gradually slowed down his expression, and said in a low voice: "Although that old fox is despicable and shameless, he still doesn't break his promise. , I believe that as long as tonight's marriage goes on normally, he will send someone to return the remains tomorrow. Now, it's up to you."
