Rebirth of the Great Favor: Chapter 47

Chapter 47: Falling Through and Standing Exposed (1) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.

“Xue-er!” Su Yanling had the best relationship with Su Lianxue and was also the first to voice out. He rebuked those few dark guards of Shen Zhonghua: “Xue-er is the miss of the general’s residence! How dare you as subordinates treat her like this!”

Mother Su’s intention was all on Shen Qi so father Su’s intention was on Shen Qi for a while. After a while, he worried about his wife’s delicate body whether she couldn’t stand and suddenly fainted.

Shen Zhonghua glanced at Leng Xing. Leng Xing understood and released Su Lianxue. Su Lianxue rubbed her painful wringing arms. Her gaze swept over the reception pavilion. Her heart was a hint of panic as if a drum was beating. She believed she was smart, so it wasn’t difficult to guess the scene in front of her. Time settled for mother and daughter, Shen Qi and mother Su to meet.

“Heheh......” Su Lianxue couldn’t help but sneer. Sure enough, one’s own flesh and blood were different. When mother Su saw Shen Qi, her eyes only stayed on her and nothing else.

“Sixth older brother......” Su Lianxue started. Her voice was extremely weak and her eyes were so pitiful. She looked completely aggrieved and overwhelmed.

Su Lianxue felt that up to now Shen Zhonghua had feelings for her. She blamed all of Shen Zhonghuain’s differences to her today on Shen Qi. She believed firmly that Shen Qi’s cheap self had seduced Shen Zhonghua so he was only confused by her temporarily.

“Older brother Zhonghua......” Su Lianxue walked in front of him with weak footsteps. When approaching she was as if she was scared and stood unstable. SHe originally wanted to flutter into Shen Zhonghua’s arms and aroused his feelings of pity for her, but she didn’t expect Shen Zhonghua to see her fall and just slightly turned sideways. If it wasn’t for Su Yanling stepping forward to help her, one was afraid that she had fallen to the ground and made a fool of herself.

“Why did older brother Zhonghua ignore Xue-er? Is it......” With tears in Su Lianxue’s eyes, she deliberately gave Shen Qi a look: “Did the servant girl at your side say something to you and frame me......”

“Qiqi didn’t say anything.” Shen Zhonghua’s cold eyes looked at her: “However, mother Qiu can actually say everything.”

“Mother Qiu......” Su Lianxue’s face showed a terrified color: “Who is mother Qiu? Why doesn’t Xue-er know?”

“You don’t know her, but she knows you.” Shen Zhonghua took a deep breath and ordered: “Bring her in.”

Even if Su Lianxue was psychologically prepared when mother Qiu was dragged in, she was still frightened to take a cold breath. Su Lianxue knew mother Qiu, but when mother Qiu was brought in, she couldn’t recognize her because what Shen Zhonghua let people bring up was clearly a “bloody person”. Not knowing how much torture she had suffered before she was brought here. Her flesh and blood was a copy of paste. There was no perfect place on her body. When she was brought in, there was a trail of a long bloodstain. It seemed that her hands and feet were basically useless. If it wasn’t for mother Qiu to still groan weakly, one was afraid it would look like a dead person.

(T/N: xuèròumóhu is an idiom: to be badly mangled or mutilated.)

“What are you doing!” The second and third Su’s brothers blocked in front of mother Su who was weak and delicate. How could one see such a scene?

Shen Zhonghua naturally considered it for mother Su. Before he could open his mouth to explain to them, his subordinate had already taken the screen up as he’d instructed before, blocking mother Su’s sight.

“Say it yourself.” Shen Zhonghua clasped his hands behind his back. The voice spat out from his thin lips made mother Qiu tremble.

“Little one...... this little one was originally an old middlewoman in the city...... Later...... without knowing the circumstances, this little one sold the favored concubine of a large family. When the lord came back, he found out that his eldest madam solved his beloved concubine while he was away and found...... found this little one here...... However, that person...... has been sold to the brothel courtyard by this little one...... Ai...... because of that, this little one lost her job, lost all the family’s property. Even sold the ancestral home and spent 15 years in prison......”

These were all the previous prefaces. Mother Qiu had already said it once when she was being tortured by Prince Xuan’s palace. Now Shen Zhonghua already had no patience to listen to it again. Leng Xing saw it and coughed it out. Mother Qiu who crept on the ground trembled fiercely for a moment then she said: “After this little one came out, she couldn’t go on anymore. The father was sick again...... This little one was really helpless, so without a choice, this little one had to take a risk out of desperation and do the shady business of a slight selling.....”

Although the middlewoman was also a people trader, it was a decent business that was approved by the official, but it wasn’t a slight sale. To put it plainly, it was a trafficker.

After hearing this, Su Peixian Sanlang reacted first and questioned mother Qiu: “You...... did you just sell Little Seven?!”

(T/N: In a Chinese family the third son is called Sanlang, second is called Erlang, first is called Dalang.)

“Yes...... no! No!” Mother Qiu wanted to wave her hands, but her ten fingers had long been pinched off by the torture tools. Mother Qiu’s tears cut through her bloodstained face. She exhausted all her strength to point at Su Lianxue weakly and said with regret and resentment from her face: “It’s her! She sent the little girl in front of this little one and said that at home...... saying that it was a b*stard born of her family’s older sister cheating with others...... Saying that the father who was doing business outside will return in a few days, things can’t be hidden. Silvers aren’t a problem and want me to sell the child, the further the better!”

“You talked nonsense!” Su Lianxue’s complexion had always been ugly. Now her complexion had changed greatly. Even her eyes were becoming fierce. If it wasn’t for Su Yanling to block her, she would’ve pounced on the dying mother Qiu on the ground and beat her: “You and I are total strangers. Why do you want to frame me? You......”

Su Lianxue struggled from the deathbed and looked toward Shen Qi: “Did you collude together? What did she promise you? How much silver did you get? Let you make up these stories and tell such vicious lies to frame me? Frame the young miss of the general?!”
