Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

Su Shixuan looked calm, exchanged glances with his wife, put down the teacup in his hand, and took a half step back without making a sound. "Tell me first, why did I scold you?"

Lin Wan'er knelt on the ground with red eyes, tears falling like beads from a broken string.

Under normal circumstances, Su Shixuan would definitely be soft-hearted. The reason was simple. After all, Lin Wan'er was his cousin and he had watched her grow up, so it was normal for him to feel some pity for her.

However, what Su Shixuan said after finding her mother last night made her feel cold and disappointed.

Thinking of this, there was no trace of heartache in his eyes, only coldness. "If you want to continue crying like this, there is no need to say anything. Wait until mother wakes up and then you can go back to the Lin family."

She absolutely did not want to go back to the Lin Mansion.

The Su family has gradually stood up in recent years thanks to Su Shixuan and He Shumin. The Lin family is different. They are just an ordinary common people's family. If she stays in the Su family, even if she cannot marry Su Shixuan, she can still be married into a good family as Su Shixuan's cousin.

If she returned to the Lin family, she could only marry men from small families. How could Lin Wan'er be willing to accept this?

Even if my aunt and cousin cannot return to their previous state, at least I can make them accept that I am still staying in the Su Mansion.

Lin Wan'er sobbed twice, her eyes blurred with tears, "I was so scared, cousin, I saw those people killing the groom and the servant, the blood splashed on my face, I thought I was going to die..."

Her face was pale, and as she spoke, the horrific scene seemed to have appeared in front of her. She was trembling all over, "I lost my mind, thinking that as long as those people really wanted me to come back to get the silver, I could run faster and save my aunt."

Before Su Shixuan could reply, an extremely angry voice came from behind Lin Wan'er, "What nonsense!"

After being rescued by Su Shixuan last night, Su's mother drank the tranquilizing soup and went to sleep. When she woke up and asked the servants, she learned that Su Shixuan had called Lin Wan'er to the front hall, so she immediately got up from the bed and rushed over.

The scenes in the cave yesterday were still engraved in Su's mother's mind. She refused to believe that her niece, whom she had always loved, would push herself to the bandits and say, "You are old, but I am still young."

She has no daughter, and has always treated Lin Wan'er as her own daughter over the years. If the bandits were really willing to let one of them go, Su's mother might not be unwilling to let Lin Wan'er go.

But she was angry at Lin Wan'er's ruthlessness at that time and the true words that she said without any guard out of fear.

"You are really stupid. Those bandits just provoked you a little, but you completely exposed your shameful thoughts." Su's mother supported the servant's arm, tears in her eyes, closed her eyes, and calmed her anger for a moment.

It would be more accurate to say that she was sad rather than angry. When the bandits in the cave grinned and reached out to them, Lin Wan'er pushed her out without hesitation and promised them that as long as they didn't touch her, she would give them a lot of silver and beauties when she returned to the Su Mansion.

She must have thought that those bandits were so cruel that they would definitely take Su's mother's life.

It would be fine if she could convince those bandits, but if not, as long as Su's mother was dead, there would be no evidence when she returned to the Su Mansion, and she could say whatever she wanted.

Whenever she thought of this, Lin Wan'er gnashed her teeth in hatred. When no one was paying attention, she looked at He Shumin with a gaze as if it was poisoned.

She actually fell for such a despicable trick!

This was the result of her despising He Shumin.

So this bitch has been pretending with her all these years, right?

Although her methods were cunning, she pretended to be innocent and kind, and seduced her cousin to be obsessed with her and refuse to marry her.

Perhaps she didn't want to continue arguing with her, or perhaps Mother Su still cared about the relationship over the years and didn't want to make things too extreme, so she said in a deep voice: "Today you and your parents will go back to the Lin family, and never step into the gate of my Su Mansion again."

"No!" Lin Wan'er crawled forward a few steps on her knees and grabbed Su's mother's clothes, crying, "I was wrong, aunt, please don't chase me away. I was too stupid and too afraid of death. Please keep me here, and I will take good care of you in the future. I will stay with you forever and never marry, as a way of atonement. Please, aunt, don't chase me away."

"The gate of our Su Mansion is too small to accommodate you." Mother Su pulled back the corner of her clothes and looked at Su Shixuan. "I'm tired. I'll go back and rest for a while. I hope she has left our Su Mansion when I wake up."

Su's mother returned to her own residence, and the maid beside her massaged her scalp to make her feel more comfortable.

I had just closed my eyes and rested for a moment when there was a commotion outside.

Lin Wan'er and her family of three all came.

Su's mother's temples were throbbing. Before she could say anything, Lin's father and mother rushed in, dragging Lin Wan'er.

Lin's father has been spoiled by his family since he was young. He has a bad temper and was not respectful to her as his sister. In the past few years, the Su family has gradually stood up, and Lin's father's attitude has visibly improved.

However, now that he knew that Su's mother wanted to send Lin Wan'er back to the Lin family, Lin's father naturally couldn't control his temper.

He came in angrily, pointed at Su's mother and said, "Wan'er has served you here for so many years, and yesterday her reputation was ruined because of those bandits. You swore that you would let Su Shixuan marry our Wan'er in the future. It's fine if you can't do it, even if you take Wan'er as a concubine, we will accept it. But Wan'er has waited for so many years, as her aunt, can't you see it?"

"Now that something has happened and our daughter has been disgraced, you are so good that you just pat our butts and drive us away. How can such a good thing come true? I tell you, forget it!"

Father Lin was very angry. He didn't know what happened exactly last night. He only knew that his daughter and Su's mother were kidnapped by bandits. No matter whether those bandits did anything to her or not, her reputation must have been ruined.

After Father Lin finished yelling, Lin Wan'er stepped forward softly, "Dad, can you and Mom go out first and let your daughter talk to Auntie by herself?"

Father Lin glared at him, "What can you talk about? You just cling to others like a fool when they try to coax you."

"You go out first." Lin Wan'er pushed the two of them out. Lin's father wanted to say something but was stopped by Lin's mother. The couple went out and stood outside waiting.

The room fell silent. Lin Wan'er sighed, and finally stopped pretending to be weak. She looked at the servants behind Su's mother and said, "All of you, get out."

The servant looked at Su's mother. After a moment, Su's mother waved her hand and said, "Go out."

She wanted to see what Lin Wan'er could say to her now.
