Chapter 315: Chapter 316 Disdain is Useless_1 Chapter 315: Chapter 316 Disdain is Useless_1 Yu Ze curled his lips as he looked at Mr. He, “Mr. He should not be unfamiliar with this person; conspiring with the remnants of Prime Minister Kong, what does Mr. He think about having this hat pressed down on him?”

Mr. He’s face was rigid as he said, “I don’t know him!”

Yu Ze sneered, “Does Mr. He think that at this time, saying whether you recognize him or not is useful? If I hadn’t pried something out of his mouth, would I be here looking for you now? I was almost assassinated on my way back to the Capital City, and it was he who did it. Now Muniang has almost been framed and ruined—was that him too? Do I need to publicly announce one by one the disgraceful deeds your He Family has committed for Mr. He to admit to them?”

Mr. He stared fiercely at Hei Bao, but Hei Bao had already been tortured to the point of being completely battered by severe punishment and had no energy to care about him, much less the strength to speak.

Unable to restrain himself, Mr. He started cursing, “You worthless piece of trash, I must have been blind to take in someone like you!”

Yu Ze said, “I don’t have the time to watch Mr. He train his servants now. Hei Bao’s confession is right here in my possession. Whether I hand it over or keep it will depend entirely on Mr. He’s wishes. If Mr. He is willing to minimize the incident and make light of He Suxue’s mishap, I could act as if I never saw Hei Bao.”

As Yu Ze spoke, he took out a confession stamped by Hei Bao from his bosom. Mr. He’s face almost twisted in anger, and he clenched his teeth intensely before he finally said, “My daughter’s incident was a pure accident and has nothing to do with anyone.”

Only then did Yu Ze say, “If Mr. He had been so amiable earlier, we wouldn’t have had to waste so much breath.” With that, he turned around to leave.

Mr. He hastily said, “What about the confession?”

Yu Ze’s voice was cold, “I said I would keep it, but not here with Mr. He. If Mr. He is willing to remain well-behaved and stop even the slightest action against Marquis Chen Mansion, this confession will never see the light of day. But if Mr. He breaks his word, then don’t blame me for not showing mercy.”

Mr. He ground his teeth in hatred, yet at that moment he had no say at all and had to agree unwillingly.

By the time Mr. He returned to He Suxue’s room, Madame He had already surrounded him eagerly, “My lord, how did it go?”

Looking at He Suxue, Mr. He snorted, “Suxue’s reputation is already ruined; what more is there to say? Even if Qiao Muniang did it, she got what she deserved! She did those things herself in the first place, and now she still has the face to ask me to take revenge for her? Do you really think Yu Ze is a pushover that’s easy to handle? Everyone stay put! At nineteen years of age, not marrying is one thing, but to end up with such a ruined reputation—I really wasted my effort raising such a daughter!”

He Suxue’s face turned deathly pale, “Father, what do you mean by that? Are you not going to deal with my situation?”

Mr. He’s eyes bulged, “Do you still expect me to take care of you? When I told you to marry someone else, you said you’d rather marry Yu Ze as a consort—did you let me decide then? Now you’ve created such a mess and still have the nerve to say that? I’m telling you, Yu Ze now holds something that could control our He Family’s fate. From now on, no one is to provoke Marquis Chen Mansion, including you! Stay well-behaved, or I will directly drive you out as a daughter who has tarnished our reputation!”

He Suxue’s heart died within her as she wept miserably, “Father, how can you treat me this way? What have I done wrong? I just can’t stand to see that bitch Qiao Muniang take what belongs to me; I just hate her! How can you abandon me!”

Mr. He said angrily, “Instead of crying, you might as well just bash your head in and die; then our He Family could at least gain the reputation of being chaste and virtuous!”

He Suxue was stunned, tears smearing her face with no time to wipe them away. Madame He, in the end, still cared for her daughter and quickly said, “My lord, what do you mean by that? Suxue is our legitimate daughter, how could you do this? My lord, please show mercy, don’t do this!”

At heart, Mr. He still couldn’t be so indifferent to He Suxue and snorted, “Then hurry up and find a family to marry her off to, instead of staying with the He Family and losing our face.”

Madame He said with difficulty, “With Suxue looking like this now, who would still be willing to marry her?”

Mr. He glared with widened eyes, “That’s because you’re still being picky! Don’t talk to me about matching doors anymore. Whichever man is willing to take her, just marry her off and out of the He Family’s sight. Consider it as if the He Family has raised a loss-making commodity for over a decade for nothing!”

After speaking, he turned around and left with a huff.

The hands hidden in He Suxue’s sleeves had already pinched out bloody marks, her face deathly pale. She laughed at herself mockingly, who would she be willing to marry to such a degree of cheapness?

These days had been peaceful, and Muniang started to get busy with the Embroidery House, selecting embroiderers and building the embroidery room. Although the schedule was tight, it was neatly arranged and not done in haste.

On the day the Embroidery House opened smoothly, Muniang didn’t make an appearance, fearing it would be too showy, but she still made a special trip to have a look, accompanied by Yu Ze.

She was very confident about this Embroidery House; the embroiderers recruited were all skilled in their craft, and in terms of quality, it would definitely not be inferior to other Embroidery Houses. Besides ensuring this, there were also her unique designs. Even if business was tight in the Capital City’s Embroidery Houses, who didn’t like fresh things?

Looking at the bustling Embroidery House, Muniang felt a surge of satisfaction: “After all this hard work, there are finally some returns.”

Pointing to the large embroidery piece hanging at the entrance, Yu Ze asked, “Does this represent a joyous union?”

Muniang raised an eyebrow, “Yeah, does it look good?” The two Q-version characters on it were her own creation of chibi dolls, which looked quite cute.

“It would be perfect hanging in our new house,” Yu Ze said with a smile.

“If you like it, next time I’ll draw an even more festive one, and have someone embroider it to hang up.”

Muniang had completely given up on her own embroidery skills, save for mending a few pieces of clothes; she’d made no further progress.

“My mother asked me the other day if you wanted to make your own wedding dress because many girls like to do it themselves when they marry—it has more meaning. I quickly said no need, since if you were to make your own wedding dress, looking at it by then you might not even want to marry me,” Yu Ze said with a teasing tone.

Muniang blushed, “My embroidery isn’t that bad. I learned a lot from Third Aunt before, it’s just that I haven’t practiced lately and I’m out of practice. Otherwise, I would definitely make it myself.”

Yu Ze curled his lips into a smile, murmured softly, “It would be fine for you to just marry into the family. I don’t ask for much, and I certainly won’t scorn your craftsmanship.”

Muniang glared at him irritably, “I’m the one who disdains you!”

Yu Ze smiled shamelessly, “Your disdain is useless, since you’re going to marry me anyway.”
