After the devil, she ran away again

Chapter 88

Du Haiyue looked at her father and then at Du Ruo, and chose to stay.

"Father, don't blame my sister, my sister is innocent too... Even if the marriage contract fails, the friendship between the two families still exists..."

For the first time, Du Ruo felt that Du Haiyue was a little smart.

But Yuan Linghou didn't listen to the second daughter's dissuasion, looked at Du Ruo and said: "As the eldest daughter of the Hou family, you should be aware of the burden on your shoulders."

Du Ruo was startled, and had a very bad premonition.

"What burden?" She asked carefully.

"You should take the responsibility of making the Hou's mansion great." Yuan Linghou looked at her with a cold tone in his tone, which didn't seem like the tone a father should speak to his daughter.

"What does father want?" Du Haiyue tugged at Yuan Linghou's arm in panic, but was dragged aside by the two servants who walked in.

Marquis Yuan Ling looked at Du Ruo and said, "It's time for you to make sacrifices for the Marquis."

After finishing speaking, two strong guards walked in.

Du Ruo slurped down a bowl of porridge. Only when she is full can she have strength. No matter what they think, Du Ruo can be sure that as long as she is still awake, these people will not be able to restrain her with her strength.

Facts have proved that flags can't stand randomly, just after thinking about it like this, Du Ruo felt dizzy and couldn't stand upright.

She looked at the porridge she had finished, and looked at Du Haiyue questioningly.

"Sister! What's the matter with you?!" Seeing this, Du Haiyue wanted to break free from the shackles of the servant, but was firmly held down. Her eyes also shifted to the two bowls of porridge, her face turned pale, and she explained, "I didn't make my sister, I don't even know...I didn't put anything in the porridge!"

Du Ruo heard it but didn't know whether to believe it or not, and she didn't understand what her father's intention was.

Two nurses came in and held Du Ruo up. Marquis Yuanling took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom and opened it, saying, "You committed suicide for the sake of protecting your name and the reputation of the Marquis Mansion. You are really a chaste and martyr. It's my Marquis Mansion again." The eldest daughter, without you, this family is really going to collapse..."

Although the words were pitiful, Du Ruo could roughly understand the meaning.

That's right, it's so pitiful, such an outstanding eldest daughter committed suicide for the sake of the Marquis's mansion, and the emperor's ears can't be comforted when the matter spreads?Maybe he will be summoned to enter Chang'an again.

"I..." Du Ruo still wanted to spray someone, but the liquid in the porcelain bottle had already been poured in.

"Ahem——" She coughed heavily, but she couldn't cough out the medicine. She felt more and more heavy all over her body, and her limbs and bones were aching. After the pain became numb, she lost consciousness.

Du Haiyue was so frightened that she cried and kept calling her sister.

"Father!!! How could you do this?!" She yelled and questioned her father, only for his father to roll his eyes.

After hearing the news that Du Ruo had woken up, the eldest lady also came over, but saw Du Ruo lying unconscious on the ground, and then saw the small porcelain bottle that fell on the ground.

The eldest lady pulled Yuan Linghou's skirt and said, "You are so cruel! She is our daughter!"

Marquis Yuanling waved the eldest lady away, and scolded: "If it weren't for this mourning star, how could we have fallen into ruin? There is nothing to do in this small place in Yuanling! Now she has an affair with evil spirits, who would dare to want her? She will only live if she is alive. Become a joke and a stain on the outside of the Hou Mansion!"

Both of his eyeballs were bloodshot, and he looked terribly frightening.

She said in a voice that almost gritted her teeth: "This is what she should do most, and it is the only good end she can have now!"
