Chapter 935: Keep Her As An Underground Mistress
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Just a moment ago, Diya was still shocked by the news of Su Wan’s resurrection. Now that she suddenly heard her brother’s voice, she subconsciously wanted to look for Su Wan’s face.
When she looked up, she suddenly saw an extremely familiar handsome face.
It was her dearest and most beloved brother, Fiennes.
However, there was no Su Wan next to Fiennes as Diya had expected.
Didn’t the maid say that her brother had just held an engagement ceremony with the woman he was going to marry?!
Why didn’t he bring anyone over?!
Even now, Diya still couldn’t believe that Su Wan had really come back to life and was going to marry her brother!
…
Diya’s thoughts were in a mess.
Su Wan…
The person who had once made her very unhappy, but dared to face a galloping horse calmly on the racetrack.
Even if she was unwilling to admit it, Diya had to say that with Su Wan’s boldness and character, it was no wonder that the Emperor liked her.
She had even envied the relations.h.i.+p between Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan, thinking that the two of them could share life and death together.
But who would have thought that the emperor would lose his life at sea, and Su Wan… would actually be transferred to her brother!
She took the lead to stand up and quickly walked towards Fiennes.
“Brother, is Su Wan really not dead? Are you really going to marry Su Wan?”
Fiennes nodded his head indifferently, his pair of azure blue eyes overflowing with multicolored light. Clearly, he was in a good mood,
“That’s right, Diya, didn’t you say a while ago that Su Wan had guts? Now that you’ve heard the news of your brother’s engagement with her, shouldn’t you be congratulating us? Why are you so surprised?”
Diya’s thoughts were in turmoil. Her amber-colored beautiful eyes widened slightly with obvious unwillingness.
“Brother, are you sure you want to marry Miss Su? But she’s clearly the Emperor’s woman!”
When Fiennes heard this, his originally smiling expression suddenly became a little cold.
“A dead person. Why should I care?”
His expression unconsciously carried a hint of contempt.
Although Fiennes knew that Jiang Xuecheng was still alive and probably living right under his nose, Fiennes thought that it was only a matter of time before he killed this man.
From the first day he saw Jiang Xuecheng, Fiennes felt a strong sense of crisis.
In his world, he had always recognized himself as the man who stood at the peak.
Now that a compet.i.tor had appeared and was still one step ahead of him in all aspects, Fiennes could not help but feel a sense of anger.
He had endured for so long just for today.
To trample everyone under his feet.
No one could shake his decision.
Diya was not only a little embarra.s.sed when she heard that. She could see that Fiennes’ expression was not very good, but after thinking for a long time, she still weakly began to argue with Fiennes.
“But brother, since Miss Su is not dead, then His Highness might not be dead either. You know that their relations.h.i.+p is so deep. Even if you marry her in the future, do you think Miss Su will be able to forget the Emperor?”
A woman who could make her blindfolded lover step on her horse and not avoid her. No matter what, Diya felt that it would be difficult for her brother to leave any mark in Su Wan’s heart.
This realization was something that Diya had thought of recently.
She looked back at all the shameful things she had done to Su Wan in the past, and her heart was already filled with extreme shame. At that time, she had only wanted to make Jiang Xuecheng look at her twice more!
However, Diya had already understood that if a man and a woman really had the same heart and mind, in their eyes, there would only be each other. How could there be room for a third party to step in!
…
When Fiennes saw Diya’s flushed face, his heart was filled with displeasure!
“I know that you admire the emperor, but death is death. There is no other possibility!”
When Diya heard that, her throat immediately choked up!
She was not saying that because of the trace of affection in the Jiang Xuecheng. She was clearly saying that for the sake of her brother!
In Diya’s heart, she was probably closer to Fiennes than her own mother. However, for some reason in recent months, Diya felt that her brother’s att.i.tude was a little strange.
In any case, he was no longer the brother who was obedient to her and did everything according to her wishes…
Diya felt wronged and her amber-colored eyes reddened…
“Brother, it’s clearly not like what you think…”
When the head of the Siswell family saw the siblings arguing and the dissatisfaction that Fiennes had acc.u.mulated over the past few days, he instantly wanted to knock Fiennes’ body with his cane!
“Fiennes, how can you say that about your sister! Diya is clearly doing this for your own good! Have you thought about our opinions when you married a commoner girl?”
Just as the walking stick was about to hit Fiennes’ body, Fiennes suddenly stretched out his hand and directly grabbed the walking stick made of agarwood!
“Why not?”
Fiennes’ expression was calm and even carried a hint of ridicule.
Looking at his cheap father’s angry face, he somehow thought of his weak mother.
Duke Siswell obviously did not expect Fiennes to have such an att.i.tude. He was not dead yet! This b.a.s.t.a.r.d brat was so lawless!
Thinking of how all his subordinates who had some weight in his hands had been taken away, Duke Siswell was even angrier!
“You unfilial son! Are you trying to anger me to death?”
“No, thanks to you, I’m only pursuing my freedom of marriage.”
The mocking smile on Fiennes’ lips became deeper.
“You unfilial son–”
Fiennes listened indifferently and suddenly let go of the Duke of Siswell’s cane.
Due to the sudden loss of strength, his father almost staggered two steps. Fortunately, Diya was the first to support him.
After all, he was old. In addition to the excessive drinking and debauchery over the years, Duke Siswell’s body was deteriorating day by day. However, he did not expect that he would be so weak that he almost fell down!
Duke Siswell’s face was pale. He took a deep breath, and there were sparks of anger mixed in his expression.
“If you really like that commoner girl, it doesn’t matter if you keep her as a mistress and raise her underground. It’s not uncommon among n.o.bles. However, you want to marry her in such a big way. Where is the face of our family?!”
Hearing his father’s words, Fiennes’ expression became even colder.
He clenched his hands. He felt deeply unworthy for his mother who had committed suicide.
“Do you want me to be like how you treated my mother? Raise her in the courtyard and not go to see her once every two or three years, allowing others to bully her, and then let her jump into the lake to commit suicide?”
After being reminded by Fiennes about the past, Duke Siswell’s face turned green and white. He finally flung his sleeves and walked away with his cane!
Madam w.a.n.g snorted coldly and followed him!
As expected, this little b.a.s.t.a.r.d was still thinking about that cheap servant girl of his!
Only Fiennes and Diya were left in the room. Diya glanced at Fiennes timidly and spoke cautiously.
“Brother, can I go and see Miss Su?”
