Chapter 195 All Efforts Collapsed

“Are you really here?!”

Dongfang Rui recognized Mammy Li at one glance. He dreamt of the scene that she and Su Yun left Yunjing that year many times. It had been many years. But he was still familiar with it.

Mammy Li wiped her tears and gave a devout salute to Lord Rui. She said, “Lord, Li Xiaocui came back!”

“Stand up quickly!”

Dongfang Rui ignored Su Zipei and jumped off the stage to support Mammy Li. He said, “What happened in those years? Tell me in detail!”

Seeing that Mammy Li suddenly appeared, Zhu Yan and Su Zipei was so shocked that their eyes were close to popping out. They didn’t expect that the maid who was sold to the Su Family that year was a servant in the Lord Rui’s Mansion before.

Ling Qinglan said timely, “Lord Rui, after I inquired about your matter from many people, I finally found the personal maid of Yun. You can ask what you want to know. Mammy Li will tell you everything. However, you’d better deal with the matter now and then ask Mammy Li.”

Dongfang Rui curled his lips tightly and stared at Mammy Li as he stood straight. He said, “Mammy Li, is Su Zipei my biological daughter?”

At this moment, everyone held their breath and waited for Mammy Li’s answer.

Su Zipei and Zhu Yan was so angry that they wanted to kill Mammy Li with their eyes. Zhu Yan even began to look for the figure of that mysterious woman in the crowd. She hoped that the mysterious woman could help them again and let Mammy Li shut up forever.

When Wu Bin saw this scene, he immediately approached Mammy Li secretly. He looked around with vigilance.

The girl in green hiding in the crowd scolded a word “rubbish”. She put away her hidden weapon in her hands and left without hesitation. Wu Bin and Ling Qinglan defended together, and she could not succeed.

“Lord! Su Zipei was the biological daughter of Mrs. Zhu. I fainted on the rode that year and Mrs. Zhu took little Miss away. She robbed the jade pendant and gave it to Su Zipei. Little Miss lived hard these years. It is my fault…”

After Mammy Li whined, she could not speak for sobbing.

Dongfang Rui’s pupils shrank and his eyes reddened. In this case, Zhu Yan and Su Zipei had no relationship with him. Instead, they put his daughter in trouble!

Su Zipei knelt on the ground with a sound “flop” and the pearls on her hair fell on the ground. She cried in a daze. Her makeup was messed up.

She was ready to be Dongfang Zipei. Why didn’t the nature help them? Why did Mammy Li appear at this moment?

Zhu Yan didn’t have the ability to protect her daughter now. As she retreated from the crowd, she took off her fancy clothes. It was a big crime to deceive the Lord. Even if Su Li interceded for them this time, Lord Rui would not forgive them!

But she was found by Wu Bin after walking a few steps. “Servant! Arrest Zhu Yan and Su Zipei. Take them to the Supreme Judiciary’s prison!”

Zhu Yan was pressed on the ground and could do nothing before she realized. Su Zipei might be overwhelmed. She didn’t have any reaction from the beginning to the end.

After arresting Zhu Yan and Su Zipei, Wu Bin was still angry. He walked back to disband the guests. He said, “Everyone, I am so sorry. The banquet is over. The Lord had something urgent to deal with.”

Everyone left sensibly. But they all felt excited simultaneously. Yunjing City would be more boisterous than before tomorrow!

In a blink of an eye, all guests left. Ling Qinglan and Ling Li also left. Only Mammy Li stayed in the Lord Rui’s Mansion.

Dongfang Rui personally supported Mammy Li who knelt on the ground and took her to the room. Mammy Li was suddenly stunned. She looked back, but didn’t see Su Li in the Lord Rui’s Mansion.

“Little Miss!”

Mammy Li exclaimed and rushed to the outside. Dongfang Rui’s expression changed slightly and he immediately followed her.

Mammy Li went out and saw Su Li who didn’t go far away at one glance. She couldn’t help but follow Su Li and shout, “Little Miss, why are you leaving?!”

When Dongfang Rui saw Su Li once again, he was stunned.

It went back to the starting point. What Ling Li said was right. The girl he pointed to by chance really was his biological daughter.

When he saw the cold face of Su Li, he was sad.

Yes, she was the same as Su Yun. She would not spare a glance for power and money. The daughter of Yun couldn’t be Su Zipei who desired for fame and wealth. He only immersed himself in the false warmth between daughter and father but forgot the truth.

Mammy Li looked at the father and the daughter in silence. She was very self-conscious and waited for what would happen next.

“I am very disappointed in you.”

After a while, Su Li finally began to talk. When hearing Su Li’s words, Dongfang Rui was upset. “Mammy Li said that my biological mother is a talent in the academic circle. Her husband should be calm all the time and excellent in planning. However, you just heard one side of the story and was not willing to think carefully. It had so many flaws, but you were not willing to doubt it. Are you tired of finding your biological daughter for many years? And are you eager to find a daughter to finish your task?”

Dongfang Rui was pale and he retreated some steps. But he didn’t have any reasons to refute every sentence of her.

“Miss…”

Mammy Li murmured. She was sad. She didn’t want to see that the father and the daughter were so indifferent to each other when they met for the first time.

Su Li turned back and smiled suddenly. She looked at Dongfang Rui and said, “Mammy Li, rest assured. I am not angry. I just told a truth. If Lord Rui is such a person, then the so-called biological father… I don’t need it.”

“Li, you…”

Dongfang Rui covered his chest and said sadly.

“Don’t call me Li!” Su Li instantly became serious. She said, “You are not qualified to call me Li before I accept you!”

“I…”

Dongfang Rui wanted to say something, but he didn’t say anything finally. Wu Bin couldn’t stand it. However, he didn’t do it well before, so, he didn’t dare to scold Su Li. He only said imploringly,

“Little… Miss Su, I didn’t do it well. It was my fault, not the Master’s! The Master never stop tracing the murderer. Over the years, the Master suffered the pressure from the Queen Mother. He didn’t get married again. Even if you don’t want to come back now, don’t be so decisive. The Master’s body…”

“Wu Bin!”

Dongfang Rui interrupted him and looked at Su Li. He slowly said, “It was my fault. Su Li, I won’t ask you to come back and won’t ask you to accept me. I just ask you to… give me a chance to compensate for you. For your mother, I will not be weak again.”

Then, Dongfang Rui handed out the jade pendant in his hand. He was full of stateliness, but now he implored Su Li.

Su Li gently patted the hands of Dongfang Rui and shook her head. She said, “Words alone are no proof. I never believe any promise. After you find out the true cause of the death of my mother, maybe I will accept it.”

Then, Su Li glanced at Mammy Li and said, “Mammy Li, stay in the Lord Rui’s Mansion and tell him what happened these years. I am leaving.”

“Little Miss!”

Mammy Li shouted. But Su Li didn’t turn back. She sighed, “The little Miss is as stubborn as before.”

After Dongfang Rui heard the agreement that Su Li said, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope. He immediately took Mammy Li back to the mansion. He said to Wu Bin, “Wu Bin, arrange guards to protect her. If she is in danger, I will punish you!”

“Yes, Master! I will not make any mistakes this time!”

Wu Bin nodded repeatedly. He had already made lots of mistakes. If the miss was in danger again, he would like to die for Su Li!

That night, many people were sleepless.

Mammy Li and Dongfang Rui stayed up and talked with each other all night. He knew lots of things about Su Li. When Su Li was a child, she was so thin because of the torture of Zhu Yan. Su Li achieved a little success with her efforts. Behind the glamorous position as a lecture of the Affiliated School, she suffered a lot.

He couldn’t imagine how Su Li dealt with these difficulties at her age.

Dongfang Rui suddenly felt that Su Li’s indifferent temperament was excusable. On the contrary, he unilaterally fantasized about his daughter’s ideal character, which was too naive.

While Dongfang Rui was finding Su Li’s past, the news that Lord Rui made a mistake on the matter of finding his biological daughter spread in the Yunjing City. The matter between the Lord Rui and the Su Family was heating up. Even in the remote Zhouyue Winery, many drinkers talked about it.

After closing the winery, the proprietress looked outside while she was clearing away the tableware. When the sun was setting, she finally saw her husband.

She was angry. When she was close to venting her anger, Xuan Jingzhou quickly begged for mercy. He said, “Stop, honey! Don’t hit me. I was busy in doing business during the whole night!”

Bang!

The proprietress sat at the table, which made the ground shake. She said with a mighty voice, “Tell me!”

Xuan Jingzhou closed the door of the winery and said, “I successfully entered into the Lord Rui’s Mansion last night. What happened last night was really amazing! Can you guess what happened?”

The proprietress took a kitchen knife to polish her nails. She sneered and said, “Do you want to say that Su Zipei and her mother deceived the Lord Rui?”

“Sweetheart, how do you know?”

Xuan Jingzhou stared at her. The proprietress laughed and said, “This matter spread throughout the Yunjing City in the morning. How do I know? Well! Xuan Jingzhou, where did you go today? If you can’t convince me with a suitable reason, I will punish you!”

“Hey! Hey! Don’t be angry. I really had something to deal with.”

Xuan Jingzhou pulled his sleeves and revealed a dark hand. He winked at her.

The proprietress instantly became serious. She plugged in the bolt and left the tableware alone. She took Xuan Jingzhou to the underground adytum to help him dress the wound.

“Hey, be gentle!”

Xuan Jingzhou was so painful that he gasped. He said, “I really got into the Lord Rui’s Mansion yesterday, but I left when they were still talking. When Yun’s personal maid appeared, I found that someone wanted to kill her. When Wu Bin noticed that person, she quickly held her breaths and left. I chased her…”

Crack!

After dressing the wound, the proprietress patted Xuan Jingzhou and he was so painful that he shouted.

“Darling, you are going to murder your husband!”

The proprietress said bitterly, “Don’t you know your ability? If they had lots of people, is it a suicide after you chased them without hesitation?”

Although the proprietress’s tone was cruel, she really cared about him. Xuan Jingzhou smiled embarrassedly and scratched his head. He said, “I won’t do it again. I’m lucky this time. That person’s cultivation was inferior to mine. After I chased her, I fought with her within some movements. But…”

“But you were set up when you operated your great movements, right?” The proprietress rolled her eyes and said, “Fortunately, although the poison on the hidden weapon is powerful, it is easy to detoxify for the person who reached the inborn realm.”

“Because I didn’t take any weapons. That little girl’s hurdle of Xuangong is higher than mine, but her cultivation was lower. If I had weapons in hand, I could definitely stop her.”

Xuan Jingzhou still wanted to say something, but she was scared off by the proprietress’s glimpse. He quickly said, “I won’t do it again. Life comes first!”

The proprietress said “hum” slightly and was in silence for a moment. Then, she said with hesitation, “I heard from drinkers that Su Li is the daughter of Yun. But Su Li didn’t accept Dongfang Rui. She lived in the Affiliated School of the National Academy. Shall we…”

“Su Li?”

Xuan Jingzhou came to his sense and said, “What the monk of the Mount Chan said was true. The daughter of Yun appeared! However, we can’t act rashly and blindly now. Lord Rui must have arranged lots of guards to protect her in the Affiliated School of the National Academy. If we force to go in, we will wake a sleeping wolf. What’s more, Su Li didn’t know who we are. She might not cooperate with us. We’d better wait for the right time secretly.”

The proprietress hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

Qu Qingning behind the thin iron wall was shocked. He covered his mouth and ran away. He finally heard some big news after he kept monitoring the next winery for such a long time!
