Chapter 801: Settling down
Su Wan had told him that as long as he reminded Su Yiqian who he was, she will listen to him patiently.
As long as she was sitting in the position of the imperial concubine, she will not want anyone to hear anything bad about her much less something which was related to dark magic and soul exchange. If she dared to take the risk, it will not take too long for her to be chased out of the Su family in the capital as well as the imperial palace. They were commoners, they could get away from almost everything as long as they do not murder or attack someone physically.
Even the words which were spoken by them could be ignored as long as they did not speak them in front of three people causing a rumour to start but the members of the imperial family were different, especially concubines and the Empress, they needed to walk carefully inside the walls of the harem, if they make even the smallest bit of mistake, the others will take advantage of it to squash them to the ground.
As expected when Su Yiqian heard Su Bai speak so confidently her eyes flickered, he was right. Compared to the Su family which was already on the verge of dying because of the lack of money and lands, she was different, she had a position which she cared for and the comfort that she had gotten used to was also something that she did not wish to let go.
Thus, no matter how much she hated Su Bai and these leeches who came to find trouble with her, she still asked, " What do you want?"
Su Bai knew that this little b*tch was thinking of sending them after giving them a few silver taels and snorted as he said, " Don't even think about sending us away with a few taels, got it? We are not beggars, now that you are sitting in the position of imperial concubine, you need to take care of us as well."
" For what reason?!" Su Yiqian gasped, she swung the handkerchief in her hand onto the ground and said, " You and that b*tch that you married did not even give me meat to eat and treated me like a servant of the family, clearly it was my mother who picked your fleas and made you a respectable man but instead of taking care of me you threw me away, even pushed me to get married to five men causing my reputation to be tainted and now you want to ride on my coattails, you have to be dreaming!"
When Su Bai heard her words he sneered and said, " If you don't want to help us then fine, I will not ask you either but don't talk about yourself so highly, all right? You are no saint either, the fact that you could think of killing someone just because they came in between your perfect life is enough to let me know that you and I are the same kind of person, Wan Wan or should I say Yiqian?"
He leaned forward and then smirked coldly before continuing, " If you don't want to help us, I will not ask you to do so but let me tell you something, if you don't help me then I will not leave you alone either. Even if it means climbing up the stairs of the execution platform, I will still drag you down with me, got it?"
Of course, he was bluffing but Su Yiqian did not have to know that, Su Wan told him to act as careless of his life as possible only then will he be able to push her into a corner.
Su Yiqian gasped once again, she could not understand how her father who was afraid of even losing a nail became so daring.
Though she was upset, she could only suppress her anger. Even though Su Wan had sent this troublemaker to her doorstep, it will not be too much trouble on her part, she can still make a turnaround as long as she used her wits properly.
For now, she will simply endure it before taking care of them.
She turned to look outside the carriage and noticed that some of the civilians were looking at her with a peculiar gaze and asked, " What did you do?"
Su Bai calmly smiled and said, " Nothing too severe, I only told them that you refused to acknowledge us despite my family being your life saviour."
" You…" Su Yiqian was speechless she was thinking of sending these people back but they actually went ahead and spread such rumours about her in front of the commoners. How will she raise her head in the capital like this?
" Heh, this is just a backup in case you try to send us back," Su Bai told Su Yiqian. " So don't even think about sending us packing, not only do you have to take care of our family but you will also have to take care of your siblings."
Siblings? Su Yiqian sneered. Sure, she will take such good care of them that they will end up crying. Tears of regret.
Though she was on the verge of exploding, Su Yiqian still raised her hand and then tapped on the wall of her carriage causing her personal maid to appear. As soon as her personal maid appeared at the door of the carriage Su Yiqian calmly asked her to arrange for a carriage to bring the rest of the troublemakers back with her.
A part of her wished to hack these idiots to death but Su Yiqian knew that this was not the time to do so, she needed to keep a firm hold of her kind and gentle persona in front of the commoners or else his majesty might find her unsightly!
The personal maid was surprised when she saw that the imperial concubine Su was willing to let these people follow her but she still agreed with her order and asked a guard to bring three carriages.
