The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 59

Listening to Deng Yan's words, Qingyan smiled, "Naturally I know she wants to deal with me, but as for whether she will succeed or not, I don't know."

Just one python is more than enough to deal with those so called 'bad people'. Although, probably only the people of the Jingguo Marquis manor were willing to put in such effort for Ning Siyao.

However, she didn't mind having a little fun with the people of the Jingguo Marquis manor. As for how the silver python was going to deal with those people, she didn't know.

"Fourth sister, that book of yours, can you let me borrow it?" Su Qingxue saw a book of poems placed on the small table; her eyes looked to Qingyan with expectation.

Qingyan casually placed the book into Su Qingxue's hands. "If fifth sister likes it, why don't I just give it to you?"

Su Qingxue didn't have the luxury to read this kind of book. Children of concubines like her, no matter how much they liked to read, were not allowed to enter the study. So at times like these, she was especially jealous of Su Qingwen. She'd always thought that only legitimate children like Su Qingwen were most suited to read these kinds of books.

She really wanted to leave the Su manor very much, to obtain her own place in this world. Then return to the manor to take Yiniang with her, never staying in this dreadful Su manor ever again.

"Thank you fourth sister." Su Qingxue held the book as if it was some treasure.

Qingyan very much liked the girl before her. In this girl's eyes, there was something unexpected, and that was perhaps she too very much hated the Su manor. Or rather, she simply didn't want to stay there, only for the sake of Deng Yan was she willing to confine herself there.

For Deng Yan to have this kind of daughter, only meant that Deng Yan educated them very well. And not everyone was rude and arrogant like that Su Qingting, who regarded Ning Siyao as her real legitimate mother and neglected the birth mother that birthed her and raised her.

"If fifth sister likes these books, after we return from Ganyun Temple, you're welcome to frequent my yard." Qingyan said as she lifted her hand and rubbed Su Qingxue's head. "Does fifth sister like the Su manor?"

Su Qingxue understood the underlying meaning in Qingyan's words. Deng Yan listened and also directed her gaze to Su Qingxue. Su Qingxue looked to the two of them and shook her head. "I don't like the Su manor, the people here are unpleasant. Mother is my birth mother, yet I can't call her 'mother'."

Deng Yan covered her mouthed as she listened to Su Qingxue's words. Just how did she give birth to such a daughter, one that was so considerate of her. If in the beginning, she wasn't wholeheartedly set on revenge, she could have used an easier identity, and not trapped in a cage like the Su manor.

"Yiniang, don't worry. If the Su manor really no longer existed one day, I will definitely protect fifth sister and Cong'er." Qingyan looked to Deng Yan still with a smiling face.

Su Qingxue liked this kind of Qingyan; she was approachable. In her memory, never has anyone regarded illegitimate children like her as people. Every time, they were looked at with cold mockery. Even if she felt wronged inside, in order for Yiniang to live a bit more easier in the manor, she would never mention these things.

The former Su Qingyan was also among them, but the Su Qingyan now was willing to say things like that.

If an illegitimate daughter could receive the protection of a legitimate daughter, what kind of honor must that be. Or rather, since they weren't biological sisters, how could she deserve this kind of treatment.

"Fourth sister, why do you want to help mother, little brother and I." Su Qingxue met with Qingyan's eyes and asked. That tone was cautious as if she was afraid of touching Qingyan's bottom line.
