nning a small gathering on your graduation day to officially introduce you to everyone. You are my daughter, Zhao Lianyi, and also my successor.""Thank you, Father. I will prepare well."You have alway..."Don't worry about this, I'll talk to her clearly. Anyway, this is her last chance."

The stone mill laughed and said.

Then the two lost contact, and Ripple also opened her eyes.

"Cousin, are you awake"

Tang Zijun said softly.

The throbbing in her teeth, it was from hearing his words. She never knew a man's voice could be so sickening.

Tangzi Jun is the type of effeminate beauty. Although he wears plain clothes and has his hair simply tied up, it's clear that he's dressed up. His intentions are self-evident.

Liàn Yī with her elbow propped up her body, furrowed her brows and said:

"How come you're all alone here Where is my little maid and pages"

They were sent by their mother to an unknown ancestral hall. Just now, my cousin vomited blood, which scared us all.

Tang Zi Jun saw the ripple of displeasure, so she could only meekly say.

"Su Guanjia! Su Guanjia!"

Liàn Yī didn't want to say any more to this insincere man, and directly shouted.

"Miss, I'm here!"

Su, the steward who had been kept outside the door, immediately responded and pushed aside the person blocking his way, entering Ripples' room.

"Miss, what can I do for you"

"Master Su, I'm young and ignorant. Don't you understand How can you let my cousin from the Tang family take care of me"

Although we are cousins, we shouldn't be alone together. You've been neglecting your responsibilities, and I thought you were taking advantage of my parents' passing to climb up the Su family ladder. How will people perceive him if this gets out

Ripples coldly rebuked Steward Su.

Su Guanjia was a woman about thirty-five years old, already married with a daughter, and deeply loyal to the Su family. In her past life, after the original owner married Tang Zijun, Tang Zijun used the excuse that Su Guanjia had been incompetent in her work and sold their entire family. The original owner only found out about this afterward, which made her relationship with Tang Zijun even worse.

She wouldn't stoop to having him run the show for her, this kind of lowlife.

Su, the house manager, was scolded but instead of getting angry, she was happy. It proved that young mistress still knew right from wrong. So she immediately said:

"The miss instructed me that I had not done well in this matter."

Ripple understood what the other person meant, and she nodded in satisfaction. She wasn't afraid of opponents as strong as gods, but teammates as useless as pigs.

"Help me up."

Ripples spoke directly to Tang Zijun without even giving him a glance. The other party's face was pale, alternating between green and white, with eyes slightly red-rimmed.

Su Guantou stepped forward and helped Lianri sit up. Lianri looked at Tang Zijun coldly and said:

"I heard every word you and your aunt just said. You're truly my dear family!"

Tang Zi Jun suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Lian Yi, meeting her dark eyes, as deep as an abyss. His body trembled slightly before he lowered his head and mumbled:

"Auntie, you misunderstood."

"It doesn't matter if there's a misunderstanding or not, you and my aunt know the truth. Wait until my parents' funeral is over, then you go back to where you came from. Don't even think about staying at Su Manor as if it were your home and trying to control me."

Of course, if you insist on clinging to me, I'll take you as my wife. But once you enter the Su family, you will be my Su Lianyi in life and my Su Lianyi in death. I will make sure you understand the consequences of plotting against me.

The ripples sounded unusually cold, causing Tang Zijun's face to turn pale in fright. When he looked up again, he saw a strange smile on the other person's lips and immediately turned and ran away.

Tangzi Jun wasn't stupid; he knew his cousin must have heard their conversation. It was their carelessness. He needed to find his mother and think things through carefully. His cousin's expression just now had been terrifying, and he felt a bit scared.

When Tang Zi Jun had run away, Lian Yi instructed Su Guanjia.

"You arrange for someone to go to Xinglin Hall and ask the doctor to come. After that, without my order, do not let my aunt or Tang Zijun enter my courtyard!"

Besides, you should arrange for your daughter to invite the elder of the Su family to officiate the funeral for my parents. How can she, as an outsider, handle a funeral for the Su family

"Yes, Miss. I'll have someone take care of it right away."

"Have Ziyan and Zisu take care of my daily needs, including meals."

"Yes!"

After I fainted, all the servants who had taken my aunt's orders sold me off.

"This"

Su Guantang broke out in a cold sweat. Miss, this method is a bit ruthless.

"How do you think I was too harsh"

Liàn Yī sank her face and asked.

"No, it was the servants in the house who were being unreasonable."

Before I die, they've already started looking for an escape route. How do you want me to deal with them

"This old slave will go do it right away."

Su Guanjia didn't dare to say a word.

"Su Guanjia, since the sale contract is in my hands, they dare to do this. If there were no constraints of the contract, on this very occasion when their parents have passed away, what do you think they would do"

Ripple glanced at the other person faintly, that glance held killing intent, which made Su Butler feel a chill down his spine. He didn't dare to say anything, just bowed and left.

In less than five minutes, the two maids, Ziyan and Zisu, rushed into Lianyi's room.

"Miss, you've suffered! It was that Tang Zijun who stopped us from coming in. If not for his mother's sake, I would have spit on him long ago."

Purple Su was only fourteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, extremely handsome. However, he had a rather fiery temper. As soon as he entered the door, he began to complain.

"Zǐ sū, you speak softly. He is the miss's cousin, and his mother is also the miss's aunt. After all, he is an elder, so if this gets out, it will be bad for the miss's reputation."

Ziyān was fifteen years old, with a face that radiated health and peace. Her temperament was also relatively calm, so she immediately spoke up to stop Zǐsū. She didn't stop her own movements either, immediately taking clean undergarments from the closet to change for Lián yī. Her brows were furrowed tightly the whole time, and in the end, she added:

“How did they take care of Miss Her blood-stained clothes weren't changed. How uncomfortable that must be.”

Ripple didn't get angry. These close-attendant maids were prepared by her mother for her, just worried that she would run wild outside.

However, these two people were quite loyal to their original owner. Unfortunately, in their previous life, Tang Zijing had entered the household and treated them as thorns in her side, casually marrying them off to a worthless woman from their village. Their lives were not happy, and later, because they couldn't have children, they were mistreated by their in-laws and eventually met a miserable end.

Even with her toes, Ripples could tell this was Tang Zijun's doing. He must have given them a contraceptive drug, his heart is truly vicious.

She had already thought it through. If Tang Zijun wouldn't listen to her and insisted on marrying her, she would retaliate by using the same tactics he used on the young maidservant against him.

"I've already told the steward to never let him into my room again. You guys keep an eye on his every move and don't let him get close to me. After the funeral, I'm going to observe three years of mourning and go to Sujiazhuang."

When the ripples were served a new undergarment, they shared their plans for the future.

"Miss, the manor is cold. I'm afraid your delicate frame won't be able to bear it."

Ziyān said with some worry.

"Nothing is happening, and it's just the right place for me to study quietly."

Ripples said calmly.

"Miss, we'll go with you then."

Shiso immediately said.

I'm not taking you two with me. After all, it's a period of mourning and having young attendants around could lead to gossip. But don't think for a second that you have it easy either; you must keep the Su Manor secure while I'm gone.ll asleep.Three days later, the Emperor of Japan signed a surrender document, announcing his country's defeat and voluntarily surrendering its weapons, and began to withdraw from China.Ripples glanced...
