Chapter 121: Cold Concubine's Daughter * Domineering Emperor 16

Father Su is worried about the damaged looks of his three daughters.

This morning, the housekeeper reported to him that for some unknown reason, the three young ladies in the mansion all had red rashes on their faces and bodies, and the rashes were painful and itchy. The fourth young lady was in so much pain and itchiness that she scratched her face and body until a small amount of blood left her marks.

Father Su was shocked. He had just received the Queen's decree yesterday to select women to enter the harem. He was thinking about which daughter to send for the selection. He didn't expect that after one night, something bad happened to his three daughters.

Su's father immediately sent the housekeeper to call a doctor. After a careful examination, the doctor told Su's father that judging from the symptoms of his three daughters, they were probably suffering from allergies.

The doctor told Father Su not to worry, and that he would be well in ten days or half a month after taking a few medicines.

But the ladies need to be careful, wrap their hands well and be sure not to scratch their skin.

If you scratch your skin, it may leave a small mark or a large scar.

Shallow and small scars will gradually fade away after a few seasons, but larger scars are difficult to remove.

After hearing what the doctor said, Mr. Su's head buzzed and he felt dizzy.

It will take ten days or half a month to get better?

But seven days later is the day when the Queen will let the selected women enter the palace!

It’s too late!

Should he give up this opportunity? He was unwilling to do so.

Just when he was having trouble, Su Wanti came over with a calm expression.

Father Su was already in a bad mood, and when he saw her come in, he felt even more annoyed.

"Didn't I tell you to stay at home? Why did you come out?"

He turned around and scolded the maids and servants standing at the door, "Are you all blind? Don't you know how to stop her?"

A servant looked embarrassed:

"The servants tried to stop her and told Miss Fifth that she couldn't go in, but Miss Fifth didn't listen to them! Miss Fifth... Miss Fifth even threatened the servants with a knife..."

"Father, don't blame them. I forced them to let me in with a dagger."

Su Wanti pulled out a sharp dagger from her sleeve and threw it on the ground with a clang.

The dagger flashed with cold light and rolled twice on the ground, rolling straight in front of Su's father, which scared him.

"Okay, go down now. I have something to say to my father and mother. Please close the door." Su Wanti glanced coldly at the servant and ordered.

The servant didn't dare to leave. He first looked at the master and saw that he was very angry, staring at the fifth young lady with eyes wide open.

He turned and looked at Mrs. Su.

Madam Su waved to the boy, and he dared to close the door and leave.

Father Su looked at Su Wanti's flawless white face, remembered what she said when she first came in, and suddenly understood.

He gritted his teeth in anger, pointed at Su Wanti and scolded: "It's you, the rebellious son, who poisoned your three sisters!"

Su Wanti found a seat and sat down. She looked at her father with her clear and moist eyes and tilted her head slightly, looking nonchalant.

"Yes, I did it, but it wasn't poison. It was just powder from the caterpillars in the backyard. It will be healed in a dozen days. I think the doctor has already told father about it. Don't worry."

Father Su was choking for a moment, and couldn't speak for a long time. Madam Su hurriedly stood up and stroked his chest to help him breathe. "Master, don't be anxious. Let's listen to what Wan'er has to say first."

She turned to Su Wanti and said, "Wan'er, why did you want to harm your sisters?"

Father Su's fingers trembled as he said, "Don't you understand? She wants to enter the palace!"

Su Wanti raised her eyebrows. "Yes, I heard that the Queen has issued an imperial decree to select women from official families to fill the harem. I want to go."

"Ah? This..." Mrs. Su looked embarrassed.

Father Su also recovered. With a gloomy face, he said sternly:

"It's easy for you to say that! How can you enter the harem? The story of you pestering Master Fu and threatening to kill yourself in front of the Prime Minister's residence has spread all over the city. You have a bad reputation, how can you enter the harem?"

Madam Su nodded silently at the side. She felt that Su Wanti was really dreaming. With her current reputation, she couldn't even find a suitable relative in the capital. How could the master dare to send her into the palace?

Father Su said again:

"Don't have any extravagant hopes! The doctor said your three sisters are fine. There are still several days before the day of the Queen's selection. I will go and ask a famous doctor to treat them so that they can get better soon. Don't have any more thoughts!"

Hearing this, Su Wanti's eyes turned cold. She curled her lips slightly, but she didn't seem to be smiling. Her voice was soft, but it revealed a sense of threat.

"Father, aren't you afraid that I will resort to other means and make my sisters never well again?"

Father Su was furious, "How dare you? I will send you out of the house right now, to another province, and never let you come back for the rest of your life!"

Su Wanti was not afraid at all, and said leisurely: "Father, have you forgotten the purpose of sending your daughter to the harem? Take a look, think about it, am I more suitable than my sisters?"

She drank the clear spring water in the space every day, and felt that she was becoming more beautiful day by day. Her skin became whiter and clearer, her hair became fuller and thicker, and her eyes were as clear as water and as bright as pearls. When her eyes moved, they were full of radiance, affection and moving.

Father Su was so angry that he didn't notice this. After Su Wanti said it, he realized that this daughter was indeed the most beautiful among his daughters.

Mrs. Su, who was standing by, had already noticed the changes in Su Wanti's appearance.

As soon as Su Wanti entered the room, she discovered that the facial features and face shape of this little concubine's daughter had not changed, but she looked much more beautiful than before.

Mrs. Su narrowed her eyes, pinched her silk handkerchief, slowly stepped back, sat down, and silently observed Su Wanti.

Last time in the ancestral hall, she noticed that Su Wanti was different from usual, and this time it was even more obvious.

Mrs. Su's beautiful eyes moved around, and she had a plan in mind.

There was also a change of heart in Su's father.

He usually only cared about his son and ignored his daughter. But today, he realized that this fifth daughter who had been neglected turned out to be as beautiful as ice and jade, with flawless white jade.

There is no doubt that among the daughters, the fifth daughter is the most beautiful.

Moreover, it seems today that she has a ruthless heart, and such a person is more suitable to survive in the harem.

Father Su's expression darkened and he sat back down.

Su Wanti saw that the expressions of the two people opposite her had changed, and then she spoke:

"Father is now a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites. Our Su family's ancestors were merchants, and father was extremely intelligent and studied hard, so he passed the imperial examination and became an official. Our Su family had no support in the court before, so it was not easy for father to reach the fifth rank."

"I heard that father's classmate, Lord Gu, ranked lower than father in the imperial examination and was slightly less capable than father, but he was born into a noble family and had family support. He has now been promoted to the third rank of Shangshu and has become father's immediate superior. Wouldn't father feel unhappy?"

"I can't rely on my family's influence, so I can only rely on my own efforts. My father always organizes various drinking parties, and he always gets drunk. He works so hard, isn't it just to make friends, to consolidate his career, and to pave the way for his brothers and sisters?"

"Father wants to send a daughter to the palace. Isn't it because he wants a daughter to become a favorite concubine? Then the daughter can contribute to the Su family and save father from so much hardship?"
