Chapter 155 Fornication
"The Minister's wife?"
"Ah."
With a cold laugh, Liu Hui's body stiffened, and her struggling movements stopped.
She slowly turned her head and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
Su Fuying stood on the steps, his eyes cold, a mocking smile on his lips, looking down at her.
"Su Fuying!"
Liu Hui's expression changed, a hint of fear and resentment flashing in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and shouted.
Su Fuying didn't bother to look at her again and turned to walk into the room.
The maids, however, showed no mercy and threw Liu Hui to the ground.
"Oh...you wretches, when the master wakes up, I'll make you pay..."
Liu Hui cried out in pain, but her words were abruptly cut off before she could finish speaking.
Because at this moment, the person who should have been unconscious on the bed has woken up and is staring blankly at some unknown corner of the room.
"Master? Master, you're finally awake! Waaah..." Liu Hui's sorrowful cries came through the air, filled with endless grievances and resentment.
Her voice was filled with sorrow, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Su Chengde slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on Liu Hui.
He looked at her silently, his face expressionless.
Liu Hui's crying gradually stopped, tears streaming down her cheeks, her eyes revealing a hint of fear and unease.
She slowly got up and walked tremblingly toward Su Chengde.
Every step seemed so difficult, as if carrying a heavy burden.
She reached out and gripped Su Chengde's sleeve tightly, as if searching for a last straw.
"Master, you're finally awake! Look at how they've been bullying me!" Liu Hui cried, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam.
Her face was streaked with tears, and her eyes revealed despair and helplessness.
Su Chengde looked at her quietly, without saying a word, simply listening to her.
His eyes were deep and calm, as if they could see through all the truth.
Seeing this, Liu Hui felt even more guilty, but she still forced herself to continue, "Master, you must do justice for me! I really didn't do these things."
Her tone was firm and sincere, trying to convince Su Chengde of her innocence.
However, Su Chengde remained silent, simply watching her quietly.
Liu Hui grew increasingly panicked and began to suspect that Su Chengde already knew something.
Liu Hui clung to Su Chengde's sleeve, tears streaming down her face like a broken string of pearls.
Her cries grew louder and louder, and the whole room was filled with her grief.
While crying, she secretly observed Su Chengde's expression, trying to find some clues from his reaction.
"Master, what's wrong?" Liu Hui couldn't help but ask, her voice trembling slightly.
She noticed that Su Chengde hadn't said a word and his expression hadn't changed at all, which made her very uneasy.
She turned her head and looked around, only to find that Su Fuying and the old lady were the only ones left in the room watching her.
The maids and servants had left sometime earlier, and the room became unusually quiet.
The silence sent a chill down Liu Hui's spine, and she couldn't help but shiver.
She dismissed the servants, and Su Fuying was also there. It was hard not to connect this to something, and she immediately panicked and said, "What's wrong? Speak up."
"What are you talking about? Why don't you tell me what Mingqian's surname is?"
Su Chengde finally spoke. His tone was not very dramatic, but it carried a sense of authority and pressure.
However, these words struck Liu Hui like a thunderbolt, and her face instantly turned pale. She quickly recovered and immediately said, "What do you mean, sir? Mingqian's surname is naturally Su."
"Really?" Su Chengde's gaze was so sharp, it seemed to pierce through one's heart. Liu Hui couldn't help but look away, not daring to meet his eyes.
"Yes." Liu Hui's voice softened, her heart filled with doubt and unease. For the moment, she didn't know what Su Chengde meant, and could only wait and see.
"Alright." The old lady, growing impatient, interrupted, "Zhang Mama, bring the person up."
"Bang." The door was pushed open again with a dull thud. A middle-aged man dressed in gray linen clothes was dragged into the room by two servants and then thrown to the ground without any mercy.
Liu Hui's expression gradually stiffened, and her hands at her sides began to tremble uncontrollably.
She looked at the man on the ground, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.
"Liu Mang?"
Su Chengde frowned and carefully examined the person in front of him. After seeing him clearly, his face instantly turned gloomy.
The man trembled as he raised his head. When he saw the scene inside the room, his legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground. He quickly lay down on the ground.
Upon hearing Su Chengde's voice, he was so frightened that he couldn't utter a single word.
With a muffled thud, an incense burner was slammed to the ground, rolled away, and finally came to rest in a corner.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Suddenly a scream rang out. The thin, middle-aged man was seen clutching his forehead with both hands, writhing on the ground in agony, blood slowly trickling from between his fingers.
"My eyes, my eyes!" the man cried out repeatedly in pain.
Only then did Su Fuying notice his face and couldn't help but admire Su Chengde's technique. With just a casual toss, he had accurately blown out the other person's eyeball.
"Liu, you swore back then that this was an illegitimate child born to a concubine from your maternal family branch. No wonder when I said there were no vacant positions in the manor, you preferred to make him a stable boy," Su Chengde said with a sneer.
“So that’s how it is…” Su Chengde’s breathing became heavier and heavier, his eyes turned bloodshot, and his gaze was fixed on Liu Hui like a nail.
Liu Hui's face was as pale as paper, her lips trembled uncontrollably, and her eyes flickered uncertainly. She hurriedly got up from the bedside, trying to escape from this place.
"Stop!" Su Chengde shouted angrily, suddenly grabbing Liu Hui's arm and pulling hard. Caught off guard, Liu Hui stumbled and fell to the ground, terrified, crying and struggling desperately.
"My lord, I really don't know anything about this person. He came to me seeking refuge on his own. I truly had no idea what was going on," Liu Hui explained tearfully.
"You don't know? Then your mother doesn't know either?" the old lady asked coldly.
Liu Hui once said that this child was born to a concubine of an uncle from one of their Liu family branches, and that the child came to the Minister's mansion for refuge because he was afraid of being abandoned by his family.
They were unwilling to accept such a shameful affair, but Su Chengde couldn't resist Liu Hui's pillow talk and eventually agreed without telling the old lady.
By the time the old lady discovered it, Su Wan'er had already been born. She assumed that Su Wan'er was also a child that Liu had abducted from outside.
However, she only realized something was wrong when she became pregnant with her third child, Su Mingqian, the legitimate son of the Minister's family.
Later, upon investigation, it was discovered that she had been having an affair with Liu Mang. The old lady was furious and prepared to arrest her, but unexpectedly, Liu Hui took the initiative and sent her away at night.
Fortunately, she had her subordinates who located the man beforehand; otherwise, finding him now would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Liu Hui was speechless for a moment, her inner panic almost overflowing.
Since Granny Gui passed away, she has no one to talk to, no one to discuss many things with, and now she is at a loss.
"Madam, Madam Liu has arrived!" Granny Zhang called out loudly from outside the door. Immediately afterward, Madam Liu, without waiting for an announcement, pushed the door open forcefully.
