The Concubine Strikes Back: The Marquis Insists on Me to Be His Wife

Chapter 351 Suppression



Chapter 351 Suppression

"She is not a child anymore. Don't think too much. Just lie down! Get up early tomorrow and go see her off in person." After hearing General Su's comforting words, although Mrs. Su was unwilling, she had no choice but to lie down again. However, at this moment, she was filled with anxiety and uneasiness. She tossed and turned and could not sleep all night.

This sudden panic caught Mrs. Su off guard. She always felt as if something was happening quietly, but she was kept in the dark and knew nothing about it. All night long, all kinds of thoughts came to her mind, disturbing her.

It was not until the early morning when everyone in the Su family started to enjoy breakfast that Su's mother realized that Su Wanyu had not yet shown up. She thought that this girl was being naughty again, so she called two maids to urge Su Wanyu to get up.

Two maids were ordered to come to the door of Su Wanyu's boudoir and called out several times, but received no response. One of the maids could not help but raise her voice and shouted, "Miss, the master and the mistress are waiting for you to have dinner together! Hurry up and get up~" However, what awaited them was still only a frightening silence.

The two maids looked at the maids and servants guarding the door with doubts, and asked, "Did your young lady go out today? Or has she not gotten up yet?" One of the maids quickly replied, "Sister, our young lady has not gotten up yet."

"How can you servants be so ignorant of etiquette! Look at what time it is now? The master and the mistress are waiting with hungry stomachs to have breakfast with the eldest lady!" The maid became more and more angry as she spoke.

"Sisters, please calm down. It's not that we are intentionally neglecting her. It's just that the young lady is reluctant to get out of bed. We have called her softly many times, but she didn't respond. How dare we barge into her boudoir so as not to anger her! Otherwise... could you two sisters go in and take a look in person?" The maid who answered said tremblingly.

It turned out that the two people who came to wake Su Wanyu up were the general's wife's personal maids. Their status was much more noble than that of ordinary maids, so everyone in the mansion respected them very much.

Seeing this, the two looked at each other, nodded as if they had telepathy, and then reached out to push the door open. However, the moment the door opened, the scene in front of them shocked them - they saw Su Wanyu hanging in the air, her face as pale as paper, and her tongue sticking out of her mouth.

One of the maids was so frightened that she fainted on the spot and lost consciousness; the other maid was so terrified that she stood there for a long time, unable to make a sound, her body shaking uncontrollably as she retreated step by step.

“Die… die… die…” The extremely frightened maid turned pale, her lips trembled, and she couldn’t even utter a complete word.

Su Wanyu's maid saw this and had a bad feeling in her heart. She quickly looked into the room. In an instant, the maid's screams resounded throughout the room: "Ah~~~Ah~~Miss~~Miss~~~Someone come~~Someone come~~Miss committed suicide... Someone come quickly..."

This sudden change shocked everyone present. The maid didn't care about anything else and ran out.

Several servants who heard the shouting hurried over. They rushed into the house and couldn't help but gasp when they saw the scene in front of them.

Su Wanyu was seen hanging on the beam, her body swaying slightly. Although they were all strong men, they were still shocked by such a tragic scene. Who could have thought that this daughter of a prominent general would choose to commit suicide.

The first-class maid who had been frightened to the point of being speechless came to her senses at this moment, and she staggered as she ran towards the front hall.

She finally ran to the front hall after stumbling and trembling with fear all the way. As soon as she entered the door, she shouted breathlessly: "General, Madam, it's not good, it's not good!"

General Su was sitting in a chair drinking tea. When he heard the maid's panicked cry, he frowned slightly, put down the teacup in his hand, and said sternly: "How can you be so panicked!"

However, Madam Su could not sit still any longer. She stood up anxiously, tightly grasped the maid's hand, and asked anxiously, "But what happened to Yu'er?" After all, mother and daughter are connected by heart. Madam Su tossed and turned last night, unable to sleep all night, and was always worried about her daughter's safety. Now seeing the maid in this state, the thing she feared most finally happened.

"The eldest lady...she...hanged herself!"

"What?!!!!" Madam Su looked at the maid in front of her with astonishment, her hands tightly covering her chest, and she was so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe. "Are you serious? Did you see it clearly?"

The maid lowered her head and replied softly with tears in her eyes: "Madam, it is absolutely true. The young lady's body has been cold for a long time..."

"Yuer~" Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Su fainted because she could not bear the pain of losing her daughter.

"Mother!" "Mother!" Seeing this, Su Jinyu and Su Jinqi on the side rushed forward to support Mrs. Su and called out in unison.

Su Jinyu anxiously ordered Su Jinqi: "Quick, carry mother into the room to rest. Jinjun, go and ask the doctor to come and treat her."

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Su Jinjun responded and ran out.

The room fell silent for a moment, with only General Su, Yin Shuying and Li Lingyu sitting there. No one dared to break the silence, and finally, Yin Shuying and Li Lingyu chose to follow Su Jinyu into the room to take care of Madam Su.

General Su sat there in a daze for a long time, as if he had lost his soul. He muttered to himself, "Dead? Hahaha! Dead! It's good to be dead, maybe it's a relief for her. It's better to die than to live in the world and suffer criticism and accusations from everyone. Puff..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body trembled.

Although he was extremely sad, he knew that being sad and upset would not help as his daughter, whom he had loved for more than 20 years, was gone.

"General~General, are you okay?" The guard outside the door rushed forward in panic and asked with a worried look on his face.

"Alas, I'm old and my body is not strong enough. I can't withstand any hardship. But it doesn't matter..." General Su shook his head and sighed, while answering with forced spirit.

When the guard was relieved and about to leave the room, General Su suddenly stopped him: "Wait a minute!" It seemed that after careful consideration, he decided to act cautiously. After all, this was a sensitive period and there could be no more mistakes. His own general's mansion had long been a topic of conversation and a laughing stock. If something unexpected happened again, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Go... pass the word down, make sure everyone in the mansion keeps a secret about this matter, and arrange for someone to quietly escort the young lady out of the city. Remember, never let anyone know that someone has died in the mansion. Do you understand?"

"General~this..." The guard looked shocked, obviously very surprised by the order.

"Just do as I say! Also, announce to the public that the young lady has married far away and left for the countryside this morning." General Su frowned, thought for a long time and then added, "Oh, by the way...the young lady's attendants and the two maids on the lady's side cannot be left behind. Find a chance to get rid of them! Go and call the housekeeper quickly."

After the guard left for a while, the butler hurried into the room.

"What do you want, old general?" the butler asked respectfully.

"Old man, now is the time for you to show your true strength! Do everything you can to settle this matter for me. If necessary..." General Su looked at the other party fiercely and made a gesture of wiping his neck with his hand.

"General, please rest assured. The eldest lady is now married." The butler spoke in a calm tone, but his eyes flickered.

"Haha...what a cunning old fox!" General Su suddenly laughed, but as he laughed, tears couldn't stop flowing.
