After returning to the west courtyard, Huo Zhu asked her to change her clothes with a sullen face.
Sui'an held her collar and asked in confusion, "Why?"
"too ugly."
She tried her best to ignore the sting in her heart. She stayed away all night, and he still disliked her clothes without asking a question. Is this what anyone would do to a husband?
Lowering her eyes, she said calmly: "I will have dinner with grandpa later. I'm afraid someone will gossip about me after I change my clothes."
"I think you're afraid that Su Er won't see you showing off your coquettishness."
Sui'an frowned, he actually looked at her like this.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Huo Yan became more sure of his guess. He couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and his tone became more and more impatient, "Replace it, do you want me to do it myself?"
Hey, the buttons of the cheongsam were torn open, revealing Sui'an's snow-white neck and the striking red marks on it.
"What's this?"
Sui'an reached out and touched it, and the horrific experience last night came to mind again.
After shuddering, she grabbed her collar and said, "It's nothing. I scratched it when I took a shower."
There was a cold sneer above her head, and rough fingers rubbed her wound hard, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
The clear black and white apricot eyes were also gleaming with water, and the pain made Sui An frown, "Young Marshal Huo, thanks to you, last night I was kidnapped by a gang of assassins from the theater to the barren mountain in the south of the city. I almost died. This is how I was killed by an assassin. Injuries caused."
The man was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled playfully and coolly, "Assassin? Is the man tall or the woman short, the one with the knife or the gun? Are you dead or alive now? Ruan Sui'an, you have to think twice before lying."
Her eyes widened suddenly, "I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, just ask Brother Su."
There was a cold light in the man's eyes, and he reached out and grabbed her chin, "How dare you mention Su Er? I already called you to ask if you didn't return to Su's mansion last night, and neither did Su Er."
"I am the second brother Su who I met on the road this morning. If you don't believe me, go and check it out. How can you lead the Huo family's army when you suspect that your wife is committing adultery after just a few provocations?"
She actually dared to look down on him, and Huo Zhu laughed angrily at him.
The handsome face was forced in front of her, and the low and hoarse voice intertwined with the dim light, "There were more than one assassin last night, but they appeared in the east of the city. I caught them all. They told me that they have no more accomplices. And you, After hanging out with Su Er all night, you used such a lame excuse to fool me."
Sui'an's long eyelashes were stained with tears and she refused to defend herself.
The experience of being married to the Huo family for three years taught her that people who believe in you will believe it no matter what, and people who don't believe you will say it's a lie even if you put the evidence in front of him.
Why waste effort.
Seeing her silence, Huo Zhu became more convinced that she had cheated on him and cuckolded him.
Alas, he tore Sui An's cheongsam.
The woman subconsciously reached out to grab it, but the cool material fell all the way down like ungraspable water and piled up at her feet.
Sui'an was in a hurry and grabbed a blanket to cover herself.
The man didn't give her this chance at all. He pressed her on the sofa in the sitting room and held her slender, white and soft waist.
Sui An exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
"examine."
There were red marks on the fair skin, and the trembling feeling was an ambiguity close to violence.
Sui An bit her lip, "Stop, I'm hurt."
The treated wound was bleeding again, and the man could see it when he lowered his head.
But he was extremely angry, and his scarlet eyes only saw what he wanted to see.
A little satisfied with the result, he threw the quilt to cover her, "It seems that Su Er's coward hasn't done it yet, but you'd better break up with him, otherwise I will make him a eunuch."
Sui An was so angry that she was shaking all over!
He reached out and didn't know what he touched, so he threw it away.
Huo Yan reached out to catch the pillow and threw it back on the bed, "Grandpa, you'd better be calm these days, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
Sui'an clutched the quilt tightly, tears silently flowing down her temples.
She really couldn't stay in this home for a moment.
In the evening, a family banquet was held at the Governor's Mansion, with men and women at each table.
The Huo family has few heirs. The old man has three sons and one daughter. The eldest is Dujun Huo. The second eldest son is sick and the third eldest son is a concubine. There is also a concubine daughter who is married to the south of the Yangtze River.
It's even simpler in Huo Dujun's place. He only has one son and one daughter. Huo Zhu and Huo Ying were both born to Mrs. Huo.
During the meal, Sui'an naturally had to stand and wait, but Mrs. Huo made things difficult for her in every possible way.
"Give me some hooves. It's greasy. Who will eat that?"
"This is almond tofu. It conflicts with the medicine I am taking. Do you really want to kill me?"
Huo Ying watched the show and didn't forget to add fuel to the fire, "Sister-in-law, didn't anyone teach you how to be a wife when you were at your parents' house?"
Sui An raised his head and glanced at her quietly.
Huo Ying's spine went cold when she saw her, but she was used to being arrogant, and Sui'an was always gentle and less talkative, so she became more arrogant, "Oh, I remembered, you don't have a mother."
Bang, Sui An put down his chopsticks--
Everyone around looked over, and Mrs. Huo even opened her mouth to scold him.
Unexpectedly, Sui'an said: "In that case, let my sister-in-law prepare this dish. She also happens to learn how to be a daughter-in-law."
"How presumptuous! Yingying is a spoiled guest, how can she stand and serve food?"
Sui'an looked at the people present and smiled softly, "We women are not spoiled guests at home, and we must behave ourselves when we go to other people's homes. I am doing this for my sister-in-law's own good, so as to save me from being said to have no mother's guidance when I go to my husband's house."
Huo Ying was so angry that she almost cried, but Mrs. Huo just stared.
However, Sui'an's words reached the hearts of the second- and third-bedroom women, and they all bowed their heads in silence, not wanting to get involved in the battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Huo Ying stood up, "I'm going to tell my eldest brother to divorce you!"
Sui An sneered, "Grandpa is at home, you'd better shout louder."
Huo Ying shut her mouth angrily. At this time, the servant brought a cream cake in the shape of a cherry blossom, which was very beautiful.
Huo Ying became happy as soon as she saw it, "I want the most beautiful cherry blossom."
Mrs. Huo patted her hand lovingly, "Okay! I'll give it all to you."
The cake was not big, Huo Ying had a big piece and divided it into a circle, except Sui An's.
These people all saw that Mrs. Huo wanted to rectify Sui'an, so no one tried to get into trouble.
Sui An found it ridiculous. She was not a child. It didn't matter if she had a piece of cake or not.
But if she is isolated on this occasion, she will be looked down upon when she goes out in the future...
"Eat this from me."
Hands with calloused hands handed over a large piece of trembling cake, Sui An couldn't help but look up -
