Commander Wei

Chapter 2

After Su Yuning closed the door to the cubicle, she could still feel the piercing gaze on her back.

She took a deep breath and thought to herself, "As expected of the future Zhennan Wang, Marshal Wei. Even though he's at the bottom of the valley, he still can't be underestimated."

She didn't dare to stay for too long and hurriedly left the medical center.

When she carefully returned to Count Zhongyong's residence through the back door, she had just slipped into her boudoir when the wet nurse, who had been waiting for her in the room, anxiously urged her: "Miss, quickly go change your clothes!"

Su Yuning had just changed into a set of plain clothes when she heard someone report that her cousin, Su Yurong, had arrived.

Su Yuning secretly rejoiced that she had returned in time. Otherwise, if Su Yurong found out that she wasn't in the courtyard, she was afraid that she would be in trouble.

Su Yurong didn't wait for her to send someone to pick her up and just walked in with a few servant girls. She was completely different from Su Yuning, who only had two servant girls and a wet nurse to serve her. She was very imposing.

However, Su Yuning was no longer the naive young miss who would be hurt by such a difference. She had long seen through her uncle, aunt, and cousin's true colors in her previous life. There was no need to be hurt by these worldly things.

Su Yuning faced Su Yurong and smiled faintly, "Elder Sister, why have you come?

I'm in the middle of mourning, so it's not convenient for me to entertain Elder Sister. "

She looked at Su Yurong's gorgeous clothes and a trace of ridicule appeared in her eyes.

Her second uncle's family was really short-sighted and didn't know how to put on a superficial appearance. They were simply vicious and stupid.

It hadn't even been three months since her father passed away, and she had inherited the loyal and brave Count position that her father had risked his life for. Yet, she wasn't even willing to observe mourning on the surface.

Even a commoner's family wouldn't be so careless!

It was no wonder that her second uncle's family was able to hold the position of a first-rate Count and become a third-rate family in her previous life.

If not for …

Su Yuning glanced at Su Yurong, who had an arrogant expression on her face. She clenched her teeth and thought to herself, 'If it wasn't for this good cousin of hers who falsely claimed my credit and took the opportunity to latch onto the powerful Zhennan Wang Marshal Wei, Second Uncle's family probably wouldn't have been able to survive in the capital. Not to mention, they were able to rely on this credit to live like a fish in water!'

Just thinking about it made her hate him so much!

In her previous life, it was also on this day when she was called out by Su Yurong to go shopping at the jewelry store. Unable to refuse, she could only put on her veiled hat and follow Su Yurong.

As a result, on the way, she saw a battered and battered man on the side of the street who was barely holding onto the wall to support himself as he walked. Feeling pity for him, she ordered the young maidservant beside her to give the man a bottle of good medicine for wounds.

She was just casually doing a good deed.

Who would have thought that a few years later, the man she casually gave medicine to would become the Grand Marshal of the Daqing Dynasty, Zhennan Wang?

Moreover, his power was something that even the Emperor could not compare to. A single word from him could make people ascend to the heavens, and he could also make people fall to hell.

Such a powerful and influential Marshal Wei still took the initiative to visit and express his gratitude because of that medicine!

However, at that time, Su Yuning and Su Yurong were together. Marshal Wei did not know which young miss had given him the medicine, so he could only find the young maidservant who had personally given him the medicine.

Su Yuning originally thought that she had the opportunity to borrow Marshal Wei's power to get rid of her uncle's family. However, she did not expect that the young maidservant would be bribed by Su Yurong and recognize Su Yurong as her master!

As a result, the person who owed Marshal Wei the medicine was Su Yurong. As for her, the true hero, she was killed by her second uncle's family for fear that the truth would be exposed. Even her younger brother who did not know the truth was not spared.

After Su Yuning's death and her rebirth, she had not been invited by Su Yurong to visit the brothel.

Su Yuning, who did not want to repeat the same mistakes, immediately thought of a way to create an accident to delay Su Yurong for a while, and she secretly sent people to find the undeveloped and seriously injured Marshal Wei.

At this time, she still had a force left behind by her father to protect her, and she had not been coaxed by her good uncle to hand it over.

Therefore, her subordinates were very useful, and they quickly found the seriously injured future Marshal Wei lying in an alley.

Su Yuning could not directly appear, so she sent the wet nurse to pretend to be kind passers-by to carry him to a medical center for treatment.

However, Su Yuning was probably afraid of someone falsely claiming credit in her previous life. Even though she knew the wet nurse was loyal and devoted, she was still not at ease. After that, she could not help but change into a maidservant's disguise and sneak out of the courtyard to the medical center to see Marshal Wei in person.

She knew that her behavior went against her parents' teaching of not asking for anything in return. However, she really did not want to repeat the tragedy of her previous life.

She wanted to get rid of her stupid and vicious uncle's family, so she needed to rely on Marshal Wei's power.

She knew that in her previous life, she and her younger brother's death could not be blamed on Marshal Wei. Even if he did not falsely claim credit, her uncle would not let her younger brother, who was the rightful heir of the count, off the hook when her younger brother was about to become an adult.

However, in order for her and her younger brother to live safely, this kind of calculation was unavoidable.

Now, her cousin Su Yurong, who had been delayed by her accident for a while, was looking for her according to her previous life's trajectory. Presumably, she wanted to visit the brothel with her.

Before her parents died, she was still the eldest daughter of the first branch. Her cousin, who was born in the second branch, could only watch her live the life of a rich young lady with envious eyes.

Because her second uncle was an ignorant and incompetent playboy, after her grandfather passed away, he separated from the first branch and became a commoner. The second branch was just an ordinary rich family. At most, they had an illustrious relative like her family.

Now that her parents had passed away, the title that her father fought for with his life was inherited by her second uncle. She, the dignified eldest daughter of the count's family, was reduced to an orphan living under someone else's roof.

Her cousin, who was originally jealous of her, suddenly took over her original identity. How could she not think of a way to show off in front of her?

In her previous life, she naively thought that when her younger brother grew up, he would be able to inherit the title of the count. The reason why her second uncle could become a count was because her younger brother had not yet grown up.

However, she did not think that her second uncle would be willing to let her younger brother grow up.

Thinking of her and her younger brother's situation now, even if Su Yuning hated Su Yurong, she still had to put on a gentle and harmless smile on her face. She pretended to be polite with her and said, "Elder sister, did you come to find me for something?"

Su Yurong did not see Su Yuning's ridicule and hatred towards her. She still thought that she was envious and jealous of her. She did not think that her good life now came from the other party's dead father.

Su Yurong chuckled and said, "I found that I didn't bring a lot of jewelry with me. Now that I'm tired of wearing them, I want to go to the jewelry store to pick some jewelry. Younger sister, come with me. Elder sister can give you some jewelry."

She looked at Su Yuning's simple and neat hairstyle that only had a silver hairpin inserted in it and said, "It's better than always being so shabby!"

Su Yuning, who was dressed simply because she was in mourning, was speechless. Generally, wealthy families would order the people in the jewelry store to send the jewelry designs to the family to slowly choose. After choosing the jewelry, they would order the jewelry store to make it and send it to the residence. How could a young lady from a wealthy family personally go to the jewelry store to pick out those common jewelry designs?

Su Yuning, who had always worn custom-made jewelry, was speechless at Su Yurong's nouveau riche behavior. However, it was understandable.

After all, when her grandfather was still alive, Su Yurong was still very young. This luxurious life did not last long before her grandfather passed away and the two branches separated. Su Yurong had lived the life of an ordinary young lady from a wealthy family for as long as she could remember. It was no wonder that she suddenly became rich and shallow.
