BXBX NOVEL Chapter 970 - 971: 969: Lu Ying's Struggle
Su Hao calmly admitted, “That’s correct.”
“Su Hao, how can you be so heartless towards me? Have you forgotten our intimate encounter?”
Lu Ying screamed hysterically, believing that Su Hao, being such an outstanding and responsible man, would definitely marry her after he fell into her trap and they shared physical intimacy!
Regardless of how unsuccessful her efforts were to drive a wedge between him and Wu Jinyan!
As long as she became his, surely he would give her a status and marry her!
Yet he came up with such a method, to take her as a concubine, in name only, forcing her to leave him with her pride and self-respect in tatters?
How wishful thinking!
“It must be Wu Jinyan who made you say this, right? It’s no wonder she’s going to be the young madam of the Marquis’s Manor, such a vicious mind!”
Lu Ying’s gaze was fierce, wishing she could kill Wu Jinyan right then and there!
Su Hao rebuked coldly, “Stop slandering Yan’er. Say one more word, and I will not be polite to you!”
His tone was grave, showing no mercy to Lu Ying, as if he would strike her if she spoke another word.
“How will you not be polite to me? On the eve of your grand wedding, will you heartlessly drive out the woman who shared intimacy with you, who should have been your wife, from the Marquis’s Manor?” Lu Ying’s eyes were red, full of unwillingness and resentment.
“Lu Ying.”
Confronted with her hysteria, Su Hao was exceptionally calm, “You and I did share intimacy, but have you forgotten the circumstances of that night?”
Lu Ying’s agitated heart suddenly trembled violently.
She panicked at the thought, could it be that Su Hao already knew the truth about that night, that the woman he took was not her but Wu Jinyan?
No!
Impossible!
Neither of them could possibly know about it!
Only she knew!
Only she and Xuan Zhu knew!
Lu Ying clenched her fists tightly behind her back, her tearful eyes staring at Su Hao, “That night, you took my body and made me your woman, just like that! Su Hao, are you still trying to deny it? As a young general, do you want to pretend as if nothing happened?”
“I will not deny it. If you refuse to be married off and instead insist on marrying into the Marquis’s Manor as my concubine, I will not refuse. But that night, I told you I was already betrothed. Despite that, you drank with me until late. Now that I think about it, whether there was something wrong with the wine that night is an open question!”
His eyes, clear and sharp, held suspicion, and Lu Ying’s gaze widened, showing a mixture of hurt and disbelief.
In fact, she felt slightly relieved. Su Hao had not realized that the person he was forced upon was Wu Jinyan; he was merely suspicious that she had drugged his wine.
Of course, she had drugged him. Otherwise, how could Su Hao have been so out of sorts?
But she would never admit it.
“Su Hao, if you were a man without responsibility, you would not need to keep me in the Marquis’s Manor. I will go and bid farewell to Old General Su right now, but the purity of I, Lu Ying, was ruined by your hands. That fact can’t be changed by anyone, even if you are to marry Wu Jinyan. You, Su Hao, still have a responsibility towards me, Lu Ying!”
Lu Ying put on a stubborn, choking demeanor that was somewhat pitiable.
Su Hao’s probing seemed not to yield the answer he was seeking.
When Lu Ying turned to leave, he stopped her, “Wait.”
