The Chapter get Retranslated
Back at the manor, as soon as Su Li entered, she saw a beautiful woman rushing over.
"Li'er, I heard you were sick? Let Mother see you quickly!" Mother Su pulled her daughter's hand, examining her up and down.
She didn't dare to get too close.
Her daughter was already not very close to her, and after the scar on her face, she became even more reclusive.
Looking at her mother, who was alive and well before her eyes, Su Li's eyes reddened, and she buried herself in Mother Su's embrace.
"Mother, your daughter missed you so much!"
Mother Su stiffened, a surge of joy in her heart.
This was the first time her daughter had been so close to her in years!
Mother Su hugged her daughter, gently stroking her back and saying, "Good Li'er, it's all Mother's fault for not being by your side when you were sick. Are you much better now?"
Su Li pulled out of Mother Su's embrace and took her arm, walking towards her own courtyard.
"Mother, my cold is already better. Mother was also doing it for Grandmother, how can I blame you?"
These past few days were Grandmother's death anniversary, and every year, Father and Mother would go to the temple to fast for seven days.
Mother Su smiled, pleased, "Our Li'er has truly grown up; she knows how to be considerate of her parents."
Upon reaching her room, Su Li removed her veiled hat.
Sunlight streamed into the room. Looking at her daughter bathed in sunlight, Mother Su was momentarily lost in thought.
Her daughter was even more beautiful than she had been in her youth.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Su Li turned to her mother and asked softly.
Then she saw the scar on the other half of her daughter's face, and sighed inwardly.
"Li'er, a woman's appearance isn't actually that important. What's most important is her inner self. You don't need to hide in the manor because of this small scar. You should go out more, like today, and your mood will also improve."
Su Li knew these were words her mother used to comfort her.
How could appearance not be important?
In her previous life, how much had she sacrificed because of that scar?
But it was also because of that scar that she saw the true colors of those around her.
Su Li smiled and said, "Mother, I know, don't worry. I've thought it through. At worst, I won't marry and will stay with you and Father my whole life."
Mother Su was filled with pity, saying, "Silly girl, my Li'er is so good. You will surely meet someone who doesn't care about your appearance and truly loves you."
Su Li didn't answer.
In this life, she no longer yearned for love.
Her mission was to seek revenge, repay kindness, and protect her family!
Su Li changed the subject, smiling faintly, "Mother, today I went to check the accounts of the Drunken Immortal Residence for you. Guess what I discovered?"
Mother Su's eyes widened in surprise.
"Li'er, you went to the Drunken Immortal Residence and even checked the account books?"
This girl had never been willing to appear in crowded places, nor was she willing to interact with people.
This time, she actually took the initiative to go out and even helped her check the accounts. How could this not surprise her?
Su Li helped Mother Xia sit down and poured her a cup of tea.
"Mother, in the past six months, I've been too insensible. From now on, your daughter will never make you and Father worry again."
Mother Su was already overjoyed and relieved. After just one outing, her daughter had suddenly become so sensible.
Mother Su pulled her daughter back into her embrace.
"Li'er is very good, always has been!"
The mother and daughter lingered for a while, then Su Li brought up the main topic.
"Mother, I checked the accounts and found some things."
Mother Su smiled and said, "What is it?"
Mother Su didn't think much of it, assuming her daughter was just acting like a young girl, checking accounts to pass the time.
But thinking that her daughter was willing to go out, she let her be.
Su Li said seriously, "Mother, your daughter discovered that the accountant of Drunken Immortal Tower orders grain three times every two months. Didn't you find anything wrong with that?"
Hearing this, Mother Su's expression became more serious.
She frowned and recalled carefully. Indeed, sometimes grain was ordered once a month, sometimes twice.
Mother Su's heart tightened.
This Steward Xia was someone Master recommended, which was why she trusted him so much.
Su Li saw her mother's expression and knew what she was thinking.
"Mother, Father also doesn't know Steward Xia's true character. He only knows that the man indeed has a talent for managing accounts. Your daughter also accidentally learned that he is Concubine Xia's elder brother."
"What?!"
A concubine, once she enters the household, is a servant. Her family members had never visited the Minister's Manor.
Therefore, Mother Su had never met Xia Jiang.
"Good Li'er, you rest first, Mother has something to attend to!"
Su Li didn't stop her.
It was best to let Mother see for herself, otherwise, just like her past self, she would really believe that person in the West Courtyard was honest and dutiful!
Little did she know that those mother and daughter had always harbored ill intentions; they were devils in human skin!
