167 Saved
For the first time, Su Yuniang felt that her grandfather was so unfamiliar.
He used to be the elder she respected the most, but now she realized that he was hypocritical.
Great philanthropist?
Yes, he was a kind person who would rather force his own granddaughter to death to protect his reputation. How ironic.
Old Master Su said, “Take the cloth out of her mouth.”
Brother Su did as he was told.
Old Master Su looked at Su Yuniang coldly. “You can say it now. Do you agree or not?”
Su Yuniang asked, “Where does Grandfather plan to send me?”
Her address had changed.
Old Master Su did not care about how she addressed him, but he was not surprised by her answer. It was as if he had expected this outcome.
On the other hand, Eldest Brother Su was anxious. “Sister! You’re crazy! We’re doing this for your own good! Why did you walk all the way to the dark side?! Did Fatty Su lead you astray? I realized that ever since you got close to her, you’ve become more and more rebellious! Think about your background and hers! Her father is a beggar! Her mother was expelled from the Chen family! How can she be a good person?”
“She’s always showing her face to the outside world and learning how to do business like a man. She’s not ashamed at all! How can you learn from her? Did she teach you to divorce the Zheng family? It was her idea, right?”
Eldest Brother Su suggested all sorts of nonsense.
Su Yuniang refuted, “It was my own idea! Also, what’s wrong with her birthright? We’re all farmers in the countryside. Who’s nobler than whom?”
Su Dalang said proudly, “Our Su family is not something that those beggars can compare to!”
Su Yuniang said coldly, “The Su family is much stronger than you!”
Old Master Su scolded sternly, “Enough! Dalang! Send her away!”
“Grandpa!” Su Dalang’s expression changed drastically. He said to Su Yuniang, “Didn’t you just ask where you were going to be sent to? Did you think that you would be sent to a relative’s house for a while? You’re wrong! You’re going to be sent to a nunnery, and your head will be shaved as a nun! It’s not our town’s nunnery, but the one in Clearwater County, which is a hundred miles away! The people there are all sinful women. There are people guarding them. If you go, you can forget about coming out for the rest of your life!”
Su Yuniang’s expression changed.
“Grandfather, I was wrong! I’ll go back to the Zheng family! I’ll listen to you!”
The most important thing now was to stabilize her grandfather!
Old Master Su said, “Shut her mouth!”
“Grandpa!” Su Dalang couldn’t bear it.
Old Master Su said sternly, “Can’t you tell that she’s giving in with an agenda? What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for me to do it personally?”
No, her grandfather’s reaction was wrong!
She admitted that she was using a stalling tactic, but her grandfather’s attitude was too unyielding!
He had just said he would compromise as long as she agreed. Now that she had agreed, he would not keep his promise!
Su Yuniang looked at Old Master Su in horror. “Grandfather! Are you trying to frame the Su family?”
Her grandfather asked her third brother to secretly bring her to their house. No one saw her along the way. Everyone probably thought that she had disappeared from the Su family.
Su Yuniang was too smart. She was so smart that if she were a man, Old Master Su would definitely spare no effort to nurture her.
What a pity.
Su Yuniang wanted to call for help, but Su Dalang had already covered her mouth.
Then, Su Dalang took out a handkerchief smeared with medicinal powder and covered her mouth and nose. Her vision darkened and she fainted.
“Go to the ferry tonight. Be careful on the way.”
“Got it, Grandpa.” Su Dalang still couldn’t bear to part with his sister, but when he thought about how his sister had indeed done something treasonous, he felt that this was the punishment his sister deserved, just as his grandfather had said.
Everyone in the village was searching around Apricot Flower Village. Little did they know that Su Yuniang had already been taken on a detour from Willow Village to town.
This abandoned straw hut was located at the place where the two towns met. It was only two to three miles away from the ferry service area.
However, there were too few ferries recently, so they had no choice but to wait until night.
When Su Dalang carried Su Yuniang to the dock, the timing was just right.
The boat was about to sail.
Su Dalang gave the money and said to the middle-aged couple rowing the boat, “You must send her there!”
The woman smiled. “Don’t worry. We have a good reputation!”
Su Dalang frowned. On second thought, the person his grandfather had found should be reliable. His grandfather would not harm Yuniang.
Just as Su Dalang was about to hand Su Yuniang over from the sack, a tall figure suddenly descended from the sky. With a swift flip, he landed on the ship.
He was dressed in black and wore a black bamboo hat. What greeted them was a lonely and profound back view!
The boatman had seen much of the world. He composed himself and asked: “This hero is…”
The man in black only said, “You’re not worthy of talking to me!”
With that, he stomped his feet and rose into the air. The huge internal force caused the ship to shatter into pieces!
Before they could react, he had already arrived in front of Su Dalang. He grabbed the sack and threw Su Dalang into the water!
The couple’s vision blurred, and the boat was empty.
“Did anyone really come here just now?”
As soon as the boatman finished speaking, a force struck them, mercilessly shaking the two of them into the water.
“God was here.”
A certain man in black said domineeringly.
...
In Apricot Flower Village, the villagers searched all night and everywhere they could, but Su Yuniang was nowhere to be seen.
At the same time, there were some ill-meaning voices in the village.
“Have you heard? Yuniang went to the Su family with a large sum of money that day.”
“What do you mean?”
“Tsk, you. Yuniang is gone. Where do you think the silver went?”
“You mean… the Su Family is trying to kill her for money?”
“Shh, keep your voice down.”
“That’s not right. Weren’t all the people from the Su family in town? How did they harm Yuniang? Yuniang disappeared before they returned.”
“It was Little Wu who said that after she washed the salted eggs and went back, there was no one at home. She hasn’t seen Yu Niang since. What if… Little Wu is lying?”
“Little Wu is an honest person. How could she lie?”
“Little Wu is Fatty Su’s woman. Of course, she lied for Fatty Su! Perhaps she also split the money! She’s also an accomplice!”
...
“Aunt Zhou, who are you calling an accomplice?”
Su Xiaoxiao’s voice suddenly appeared behind them. Madam Zhou and the daughter-in-law of the Sun family, who were gossiping, were shocked!
Madam Zhou loosened her grip and the bucket of water that she had painstakingly drawn fell back into the well!
Su Xiaoxiao also came to fetch water.
She walked over casually and glanced at Madam Zhou. She said bluntly, “Make way.”
Madam Zhou said, “I’m not done yet! Why are you snatching?”
Su Xiaoxiao gently placed the bucket on the well.
It was clearly a very casual action, but it inexplicably made one’s heart skip a beat.
Madam Zhou subconsciously took a step back. She thought about it and felt embarrassed. She said, “Fatty Su, why are you so arrogant? Your good days are over! A life for a life! Just wait to be thrown into the county jail!”
