Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 20: Who Cared About Being Unfair – She Wouldn’t Be the One to Suffer

"Why should I let her have her way just because she’s two years younger than me? Even if she were only two years old, if she dares to make me unhappy, I’ll still give her a thrashing," Su Yijia retorted with an eye roll. She used to despise such statements, but now that she was in this messed-up novel, she refused to be manipulated with this tactic.

"You have beaten Xinyue, and Qin Mingcheng was injured so severely by you. If you let Xinyue marry him, aren’t you pushing your sister into a fire pit?" Su’s mother held Su Xinyue in her arms, and tears streamed down her face.

"Yes! Since she pushed me into one too, it’s only fair that I’ll let her experience the same. Besides, aren’t good sisters supposed to share both joys and sorrows?" Su Yijia nodded earnestly, without a hint of insincerity. Afterward, she looked at Qin Kaize and planted a kiss on his lips. "But no matter what kind of pit you are, I love it."

A glimmer of light flickered in Qin Kaize’s eyes, and he shifted his gaze slightly to the side, slightly embarrassed. However, there was a soft smile in the corner of his downcast eyes.

Today’s KPI has accomplished!

Looking at the four points that could be freely allocated on the golden finger panel, Su Yijia’s mood toward her family had improved slightly.

"Sister, I know it’s all my fault, but you see, Mom doesn’t want me to marry. How about we forget about it? I promise to listen to you in the future and never do anything foolish again," Su Xinyue pleaded while crying.

Seeing that Su Yijia’s expression remained unchanged, she knelt down in front of her.

"You’re being foolish right now. After all my efforts, how would I let you get away with it that easily?" Su Yijia bent down, pinching Su Xinyue’s chin to force her to look up.

The malicious smile on her face made Su Xinyue’s blood run cold.

Su’s parents had never expected that their eldest daughter’s heart could become so ruthless.

With her mouth slightly open, Su’s mother frowned, scrutinizing Su Yijia as if trying to examine her.

"Who are you really? My eldest daughter is so obedient, and she’s not very clever. There’s no way she could be like you."

"Because I’m obedient, does that mean Su Xinyue can sit back without lifting a finger while I have to take care of all the household chores? Because I’m obedient, I can’t even have a decent dowry for my marriage, and you even want to give my used clothes to your brother’s daughter? My younger sister, who is two years younger than me, can meddle in my marriage affairs and smear my reputation with dirty tricks? Do you think I’m not smart just because I know that both you and my dad favor her? Even if she’s blatantly wrong, I’m the one who gets punished and scolded." Su Yijia’s words were filled with frustration and resentment.

"You think I’m not your eldest daughter, then who am I? When did your eldest daughter disappear? After the wedding banquet? Before she discovered that she had been manipulated? Did your eldest daughter die because of your younger daughter? Do you want to take revenge for her now?"

Su Yijia stood up and approached Su’s mother step by step. Her gloomy and distorted face, backlit, looked like a malevolent ghost about to tear her apart.

"Ah ah ah! Go away! Get out of here!" Su’s mother screamed in fear, repeatedly retreating. Even Su Xinyue turned pale with fright.

"Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about?" Su’s father slapped Su’s mother hard, cutting off her screams.

His suspicious gaze swept over Su Yijia, confirming that she was indeed his eldest daughter. Then he continued, "No parents in the world are perfect. If you have any grievances, you should have talked to us earlier. Your mother and I are busy working outside every day, and we can’t pay attention to every detail. Since you can’t let go of this grudge, then let Xinyue follow your arrangements and marry Qin Mingcheng. As long as you don’t feel wronged.

However, what you did yesterday, making your sister put her fingerprints on that confession, is unnecessary. Punishing her a little is enough. Holding onto that thing is like wishing for her death at any moment."

Su’s father adopted the tone of a responsible parent, thinking he was being fair. However, Su Yijia, even if she were their daughter, would not allow them to manipulate her.

"Dream on! If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll hand over their confession letter to Uncle Xia right now, and they’ll be arrested and sent to prison for a few years," Su Yijia threatened impatiently.

Su’s father and mother moved their lips but didn’t speak. Su Yijia raised her eyebrows and gave them a cold glance, making it clear they shouldn’t say another word. They had no choice but to remain silent. Su Yijia then stood up and stretched casually.

"Since you’re done talking, I’ll bring the guests in to discuss the wedding banquet and betrothal gifts."

Su Xinyue anxiously held her mother’s hand, but it was firmly suppressed by her.

"Uncle Xia, we’ve done discussing," Su Yijia politely and courteously invited the guests who were waiting outside into the house.

Although no physical altercation had occurred, it was evident from the expressions of the three members of the Su family that there had been a dispute just moments ago.

"Comrade Su, hello. I am Xia Weiguo, Ze’s uncle. Although we are not blood-related, I treat Kaize as my own son. His father didn’t follow the rules and caused confusion, but I can’t let Yijia suffer with them. Therefore, we need to rearrange the betrothal gifts and wedding banquet. This time, when Yijia marries Kaize, it will definitely be grand, and everyone will know Yijia’s status."

Xia Weiguo’s words were polite but also carried a sense of detachment. Su’s father, however, hadn’t expected that his eldest daughter would demand another set of betrothal gifts. His expression immediately changed.

"No matter how you look at it, the Qin family’s actions were unscrupulous. They deceived my eldest daughter and our family. In the future we will be mocked by other people because of this. But in the grand scheme of things, the most crucial issue is the groom.

What I’m going to say might sound harsh, but it’s a fact that we must face. When my eldest daughter marries into Qin family, not only does she have to serve him for a lifetime. She can never go out to work, let along having children. In the future, she’ll be stuck by his bedside all day, unable to leave for a moment.

She’s still a young girl and doesn’t understand how difficult this situation is, but we, as parents, can’t pretend that none of these don’t exist. This time, her marriage must be grand and splendid, not to let others mock her foolishness. You should give what you owe and provide some extra compensation. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Regardless of whether the Qin family splits the family or not, the young couple can’t be without money. My daughter shouldn’t have to ask her in-laws for money every time she wants to buy clothes or shoes when she visits her parents. I know that Qin Kaize receives a monthly allowance since he retired from the army, and this money must be handed over to my daughter."

Su’s father rambled on, essentially conveying the same message throughout—money. If the original host had not experienced such harsh treatment when she married into the Qin family, Su Yijia might have genuinely believed that they were doing this for her benefit.
