Chapter 165 - 165 Clue

165 Clue

“Aunt Fang, Yuniang is your daughter. In this family, no matter how others treat her, at least you and Sanlang treat her sincerely.”

Madam Fang hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, “I… think I heard them mention divorce.”

Therefore, Su Yuniang quarreled with her family over the divorce. It was not difficult to guess the Su family’s attitude. They definitely did not agree to it.

In the eyes of the Su family, reputation was the top priority. The rest had to make room.

!!

Before the argument came to an end, Su Yuniang packed her bags and appeared to have left.

There was nothing more she could ask. She could only confirm that Madam was not lying.

There was another problem. Why did the Su family call Su Yuniang back at the beginning? They even secretly walked from the back.

“Zheng Lanxiu was here. Could it be that the Su family heard some news from Zheng Lanxiu and felt that Su Yuniang was embarrassing, so they secretly called Su Yuniang back to reprimand her?”

Su Xiaoxiao pondered and walked back to the Su family.

In the village, the villagers looked around with torches.

Madam Zhou mocked, “You said you cared about Yuniang, but you didn’t look for her. You just wandered around the village. Those who don’t know might think that you’re wandering the streets!”

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Madam Zhou.

Her cold gaze made Madam Zhou’s heart skip a beat. She did not dare to nag anymore.

A villager said, “The few of you stay in the village. The rest will follow me to the mountain to take a look!”

The villagers started running around.

It was not that Su Xiaoxiao did not want to look for her, but she felt that Su Yuniang would not hide with any family in the village or run up the mountain for no reason.

Su Yuniang’s disappearance was a mystery.

She felt that something had happened.

The three little ones looked around at the door. When they saw her return, they asked in a childish voice, “Mother, where’s Auntie?”

Su Xiaoxiao said softly, “Auntie went out. Mother will find her later.”

Most of the time, she referred to herself in the first person. She would only call herself Mother when she comforted the three little ones. This was in line with Wei Ting’s style.

A two-and-a-half-year-old child did not know much about blood relations. They only knew that their mother, father, grandfather, uncle, Auntie Su, and her little baby lived at home.

People who lived together were family.

Father Su, Su Ergou, Liu Ping, and Madam Wu returned.

Father Su snorted. “How dare Su Can and Su Erlang challenge me? I’ll beat them to death!”

The truth was that Su Can and his son had run away in fear before they even started beating them up.

Father Su continued, “Your Aunt Qian said that we should leave the child at her house. She told us not to worry and that she would not let anyone snatch it away.”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Alright.”

“What happened to Yuniang?” Father Su was puzzled.

Obviously, after spending some time together, Father Su figured out Su Yuniang’s personality. She was definitely not someone who disappeared for no reason.

“Father, go to Zheng Lanxiu’s house with Ergou and ask her if she said anything to the Su family during the day.”

“Alright!”

Father Su brought Su Ergou along.

Su Xiaoxiao also planned to go out and look for Su Yuniang.

As soon as she lifted her foot, the sound of a donkey came from the backyard.

The elders in the village said that donkeys liked to bark, but they had never heard their family’s donkey bark since they bought it. At one point, they thought that they had bought a mute donkey.

“Daya.”

It was Wei Ting’s voice.

Su Xiaoxiao turned back.

In the backyard, Wei Ting was holding a bag. There were some messy grass and wood shavings on the bag.

“Where did you get it?” she asked.

Wei Ting looked at the donkey that was slowly eating grass and said, “It dug it out; it was hidden in the pigpen.”

The pigpen was now a donkey’s nest.

This donkey loved cleanliness and the pen had to be cleaned every day. In addition, it had a larger appetite than ordinary donkeys. If it was not fed, it would be irritable and tear down the house. Therefore, the donkey’s nest was often filled with thick grass.

The bag was picked out of the grass by the donkey. This bag looked unfamiliar and did not look like something from home.

Su Xiaoxiao reached out to open the bag.

“I’ll do it,” Wei Ting said.

He opened it warily and realized that there was only a pile of clothes and worldly possessions inside.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him deeply. “Were you worried that there was a hidden weapon here? Were you afraid that it would hurt me?”

Wei Ting said coldly, “You talk too much.”

“Fine, you don’t have to tell me.” Su Xiaoxiao took the bag and carefully flipped through it. “These are Yu Niang’s personal clothes and… 50 taels of silver and another 50 taels of silver.”

It added up to a hundred taels.

This was a huge sum of money in the countryside. It had to be known that many families’ annual income was less than five taels.

If it was Su Yuniang’s, it would not be strange.

...

That woman was a rich lady.

Wait!

It was strange!

“Sanlang said that after Yu Niang and her family quarreled, she carried a bag and left in a hurry. He didn’t even manage to stop her. I remember Yuniang telling me that her money was hidden in the Su Family. After her confinement, she wanted to find an opportunity to get it back.”

Wei Ting said, “You think this is the silver she brought back? Hidden in the pigpen?”

“You also think that something is wrong, don’t you? First of all, Yuniang can’t possibly hide something in… not a pigpen! It’s a donkey’s nest!” Su Xiaoxiao corrected him seriously.

Wei Ting shook his head helplessly. “Alright, it’s a donkey’s nest.”

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Secondly, if Yuniang really went home to get her own money, then… it’s definitely more than that.”

She had once boasted to Su Yuniang that she had earned 500 taels in the prefecture capital. At that time, Su Yuniang sneered and chuckled. “500 taels is enough to make you so happy. How promising!”

She asked Su Yuniang, “At least I have it, do you?”

Su Yuniang scoffed, “Much more than you!”

...

Of course, it could also be said that Su Yuniang was boasting. However, based on Su Xiaoxiao’s observation and understanding of Su Yuniang, this little rich lady’s private savings were definitely more than a hundred taels!

Since she had the chance to return to the Su family, how could she only bring back a hundred taels?

Did she expect to go back a second time?

In a flash, Su Xiaoxiao was enlightened.

“The person Sanlang saw wasn’t Su Yuniang! Someone wearing Su Yuniang’s clothes came out from the back door of Old Su’s house and deliberately let Sanlang see it! San Lang probably didn’t see her face. Sanlang called her, but she didn’t dare to answer because her voice didn’t sound like it!”

This could be verified with Su Sanlang.

However, Su Xiaoxiao felt that it was unnecessary.

Because she had already guessed what was going on.

Su Yuniang’s disappearance was targeted at the Su family.

Once the “stolen goods” were found, they would claim that Su Yuniang was killed by the Su family because the Su family was greedy for money and tried to kill her.

Although no one in the Su family had the time to commit a crime, there were some killing methods that did not need to be done face to face.

Since the other party could create stolen goods, he must have thought of a way to commit the crime.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned. “Not good! Yuniang is in danger!”
