These difficulties were actually within Zhang Linghui's expectations.
The situation is stronger than people. Just as Sun Yuanpan said, the only way she can go now is the Su family - Mrs. He dotes on Su Yao so much, and she is a relative of the Wang family.
If Mrs. He came forward, perhaps there would be some support.
After all, Mrs. He was very close to the late Crown Princess Song.
Zhang Linghui's eyes were all swollen and her eye sockets were red. A tear fell down. She knelt down and cried, trying to pull Su Xingyi's skirt: "Cousin! Please!"
This name immediately angered Su Xingyi.
"What did you call me?" Su Xingyi trembled all over and asked in a harsh voice: "Didn't my aunt say that there are no cousins? Do you think there is no such relative? If you really have any conscience, why did A Rong's leg get hurt even more? If you really have any conscience, why did A Rong be ridiculed for so many years?!"
She stood up in anger and ripped open her skirt: "Zhang Linghui! You really have everyone figured out and are willing to take advantage of everything! Just a while ago, you instigated your good brother to beat up A Rong, making A Rong a laughing stock in the whole capital! We help you? Why should we help you? Because you almost trampled A Rong into the mud and wished that he would never be able to stand up again?!"
She had never been so angry even when she suffered so much injustice in the Wen family, but Su Xingyi simply could not tolerate what happened to Su Rong.
Su Rong was once a very capable child. When he was as young as Wen Zongbin and Wen Zonghua, he had already followed his father to fight in the military camp.
Even after his father had an accident in the paddock and his leg was lame, he never gave up.
What made her even more desperate was that if the Zhang family wanted to cancel the engagement, they only had to bring it up.
Neither the Su family nor Su Rong are the kind of people who would force others.
But the Zhang family chose this method!
If they want to climb the ladder, they have to step on Su Rong's flesh and blood to climb up.
Even now, Su Xingyi still feels a pain like a needle stabbing her heart whenever she thinks of it.
Without waiting for Old Lady Su to speak, Su Xingyi's face turned completely cold: "I hate you so much, what do you think you can get from A Rong? Go back and don't come here again!"
Zhang Linghui refused to give up, and Sun Yuanpan also said that Xu Rui was seriously injured in the imperial prison.
Even though he is the prince of Duke Chengguo, he is of no use in front of that mad dog Song Heng. Song Heng will probably pay even more attention to him.
The only person she can ask for help now is Su Rong.
Just as Sun Yuanpan said, the Song family, regardless of giving face to others, had to be more tolerant of the He family because Master He died while protecting the late crown prince and his wife.
She was crying so hard that she almost fainted.
Su Xingyi was extremely annoyed, but the curtain was suddenly lifted, bringing in a gust of wind that made the bead curtains in the room sway.
"So it's the prince's wife here." Su Yao came in with a smile on his face. He first bowed to Old Lady Su and Su Xingyi, then looked at Zhang Linghui gently.
Her attitude was exactly the same as Zhang Linghui's attitude towards her not long ago.
He is high above everyone else and has the composure to control the overall situation.
When it was her turn, Zhang Linghui realized how embarrassing it was to face such an attitude. She felt a sharp pain in her heart and stared at Su Yao with a pale face: "Are you satisfied?"
"Not very satisfied." Su Yao said briefly and smiled: "How much do you have to settle this account? Isn't the wife of the prince aware of this?"
It's obvious that he came to ask for help, but he couldn't pretend after a while.
Su Yao sneered, lowered her head and looked at her transparent nails, and said softly: "Madam, you need to show your attitude when asking for help. Put away your hypocritical attitude."
Zhang Linghui stopped talking. She could see that Su Yao had a different status in the Su family.
Old Madam Su and Su Xingyi actually let her talk without interrupting her at all.
... ...
Isn’t it said that Su Yao is not favored in the Su family, and even Master Su San and Madam Su San are very cold to her
Her mind was in a turmoil for a while, and then she heard Su Yao's light voice again: "Madam, it's not okay for you to ask for help just because you want to shed a few tears."
Su Yao smiled and said, "Why don't you try and I'll find you a few basins?"
Zhang Linghui was extremely embarrassed. How could she have the time to waste here?!
She finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked Su Yao angrily: "So what do you want?!"
What do you want
Su Yao leaned forward slightly, his dark eyes facing Zhang Linghui. The smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he said coldly: "It's very simple. If you want to ask for something, you should first pay off the debts you owed. Even a three-year-old child would understand this principle. The wife of the prince would understand it, right?"
Zhang Linghui's face froze.
This girl is really difficult to deal with. She always says the most unpleasant things in a self-righteous tone.
She took a deep breath and said coldly: "I have put aside my pride..."
"What self-respect do you have?" Su Yao didn't wait for her to finish, and sneered as he served her tea: "From the moment you decided to walk through this door, you should have known that you had no bargaining power with us. Or are you hoping to impress my brother with your tears and old feelings? That's really embarrassing. Some people are just pretending to be human, but my brother is a gentleman. He won't take other people's things."
Old Mrs. Su looked at Su Yao in shock.
Su Yao has always been an image of not liking to talk since he came back from Shandong. Even when facing Su An and Su Xingxuan, who can make people so angry that they want to fly away, Su Yao always looks at them as if he is too lazy to talk to them.
This time it was really... a blockbuster.
Zhang Linghui couldn't breathe and was almost choked to death. A surge of blood rushed up and she couldn't help but let out a vicious "Puh" sound, then stood up and walked out.
Su Yao sighed, holding the tea and looking at her back coldly, and said slowly: "No need to see you off."
Zhang Linghui was so angry that her soul flew away. Even after she got on the carriage, her hands were still shaking violently. She knocked over the tea that Nanny Zhang handed to her before it even reached her hands.
"Bitch! Bitch!" Zhang Linghui slammed the table, her face twisted in anger: "How dare she insult me like this!"
Aunt Zhang had never seen Zhang Linghui lose her composure like this before, so she grabbed her hand and hurriedly comforted her: "Madam, please don't get angry because of these people. Only if you hold on now, the family will not be in chaos!"
Yes, yes, we can't mess around. Zhang Linghui took a deep breath, pressed her throbbing temples, and looked as cold as ice: "What a villain who succeeds. I will just watch with cold eyes. What a good end their family will have!"
They had been targeted by King Zhuang without knowing it, and this time Su Yao had escaped King Zhuang's plan again, and they were still feeling complacent.
