Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 93: Moral and Emotional Talk, Does It Fit?
"Sister, you must have noticed it too. What he said is clearly contradictory. If we had really colluded with him and accepted his 300 yuan dowry, why would he agree to sneak in secretly and do something so wicked to you? Any sensible person would know that such an act carries the death penalty. If he had already paid the money, why would he take such a huge risk?" Su Xinyue began to desperately argue.
She was well aware of Su Yijia’s personality. She knew that if they were found out in this matter, they would face severe threats and humiliation from her.
"I agree, it was purely a case of lust! You showed me her picture, and I really liked her. I knew there was something fishy about it. Without resorting to this method, there was no way I could marry her. That’s why I took this risky step," the man admitted, realizing that he couldn’t hide the truth and choosing to confess.
Even if he wasn’t shown leniency, he wanted to drag down these two wicked women who had deceived him.
"Shut up! Just shut up!" Su’s mother shouted at him, furious. Then, she looked at Su Yijia with hatred. "Yes! I brought him here. What can you do about it? You’re still living under my roof. No matter how much resentment you hold against me, you’re not self-sufficient. I raised you to this age. No matter what grievances you have against me, you didn’t grow up on thin air. Even if you’re married to Qin Kaize, you still need to be obedient and listen to me. Wherever you go, no matter how old you are, you should be obedient and listen to me. Since you refuse to be obedient, I wanted to discipline you in my own way. Is there a problem?"
"You don’t want to discipline me; you want to use me as a pawn to blackmail me, right? You know I’m already married to Kaize, and yet you deceived this man into thinking you would marry me to him. If this incident were to succeed, you could threaten him with a hooliganism charge, or even blackmail me by saying that I’ve wronged Kaize. Do you think I can’t see through your schemes?" Su Yijia directly exposed Su’s mother’s ulterior motives. She had already thrown away her fig leaf, so Su’s mother decided to abandon all pretenses.
With a slap, she pushed away Su Xinyue, who was still secretly pulling on her. Su’s mother assumed a commanding posture and stared down at Su Yijia. "I’m just punishing you for not being obedient! You are my biological daughter, and no matter where you go or how old you are, you should be filial to me and obey my orders. Since you refuse to be obedient, I wanted to discipline you in my own way. Is there a problem?"
"If you’re so dissatisfied, just go to the police station," Su Yijia stood up and stretched lazily.
Su’s mother was stunned, then looked at her in disbelief. "What did you say?"
"I said, go to the police station! If you think I’m not filial, or that I didn’t give you the dowry, then let the police arrest me. Let’s see if there’s any legal requirement for me to give you the dowry. And as for my lack of filial piety, let the police tell me how I should be filial to you according to the law. Of course, besides these, if what you did today is illegal, how the law will judge you is not something I can meddle with," Su Yijia shrugged with an innocent look.
The man who had been crouching on the ground was very afraid, but he knew he was powerless and didn’t even bother begging for mercy. He just huddled in the corner waiting for his fate.
It was Su’s mother and Su Xinyue who couldn’t believe that she had chosen to go to the police station.
"I’m your mother, and you want to send me to the police station?!" Su’s mother gritted her teeth as she questioned.
"Are you really my mother?" Su Yijia sneered.
She didn’t continue speaking but kept observing Su’s mother’s reaction.
Although Su’s mother remained guilty and frightened, her response was not revealing the hidden truth.
"Of course, I’m your mother! Your grandparents, aunts and uncles, as well as your uncle and aunt, all saw me carry you for ten months and give birth to you," Su’s mother retorted with confidence.
Her attitude did not appear to be lying. This left Su Yijia momentarily confused. If she had been exchanged as a child, she looked so much like Su’s mother.
But if she was indeed Su’s mother’s biological child, then the strange behavior of Su’s mother and her eldest uncle had an apparent explanation. Furthermore, in a family with nearly twenty adults, it would be virtually impossible to keep a secret for twenty years.
If there was a secret, how had they managed to deceive or silence all these people for so many years? They had even had serious conflicts with both sides of their relatives in these twenty years. Yet, the secret of the original host’s identity had never been exposed. Was that even possible?
Moreover, if she truly wasn’t Su’s mother’s biological child, why did the system not say anything about investigating the original host’s birth but instead focused on why Su’s mother had such a bad attitude towards the original host?
In less than ten seconds, Su Yijia considered all the inconsistencies and questions in her mind.
"You, being my mother, used such despicable methods on me. Well, I choose to call the police and have all of you sent to the police station. What’s the problem with that? We’re just two equals here. Do you have the right to use morality to manipulate me? You can rest assured that I’m very ruthless. As long as the law says I’m not wrong, I won’t be afraid of anyone’s rumors. Besides, I have money. Who dares to speak ill of me? I’ll beat them up. If one is not enough, then ten. If ten is not enough, then a hundred. Anyway, the compensation for a broken leg or arm is only twenty or thirty yuan. My dowry allows me to beat up to two hundred people without restraint. After I beat up two hundred people, will anyone dare to gossip about me?" Su Yijia squinted her eyes lazily, exuding a fierce determination.
Clearly, everything she had just said was not a joke.
Su’s mother only began to feel genuine fear at this moment.
"You can’t send me to the police station! You have no evidence! I haven’t done anything! This man followed you secretly because you were reckless. My sister and I didn’t know anything," she immediately cried out in desperation, denying everything she had confessed just moments ago.
Seeing that Su Yijia continued to smile at her, Su’s mother quickly kicked the man who had been acting like a quail beside her.
"Say something! Do you really want to be taken to the police station?"
Denying everything by herself wouldn’t work. She needed this man to change his statement too.
But this man was like a dead fish, lying there motionless.
"Just save your energy! Why are you so scared now? You should have thought about that earlier!" The man sneered.
Su Yijia snapped her fingers. "Alright, you can come out now."
"What?!"
Su Xinyue and Su’s mother were confused.
The door that had been tightly closed suddenly swung open, and several tall men walked out of the room.
"You should have spoken to this man when you were downstairs, confirming the final process, right? I think everything you did has been recorded by them. Am I right?" Su Yijia pointed to them with a wicked smile, then tilted her head and looked at those men.
