170 Establishing Her Own

Su Erlang clenched his fists and said, “It was my idea and my father’s. Grandpa didn’t know!”

Su Can was stunned.

Su Erlang lowered his eyes and gritted his teeth. “Grandpa just… sent Yu Niang away with Eldest Brother. I was filled with hatred, so I thought of a way with Father to avenge the Su family.”

With that, he turned around and knelt down in front of Old Master Su.

“Grandpa, I was the one who came up with the idea. Punish me!”

When Su Can saw his son kneeling, he also reacted and knelt beside his son. He said to Old Master Su, “No, no, no, Father, it was my idea! You punish me! Erlang has been weak since he was young and almost died a few times. He can’t withstand our family rules!”

The father and son echoed each other and removed Old Master Su from blame completely.

Old Master Su was the head of the Su family and was the most respected figure in the surrounding villages.

If he was not implicated, the Su family’s reputation could still be saved.

Everyone had a deep understanding of the Su family. Back then, when they were helping the villagers, Old Master Su was also there. He and his father transported the food back in carts and distributed it from door to door. They ate the chaff themselves and did not let the villagers go hungry.

Those who had experienced that disaster were all deeply indebted to the Su family.

As long as Old Master Su did not admit it, they were unwilling and did not dare to question him.

“Go home and kneel,” Old Master Su said in a deep voice.

“Yes, Grandpa.” Su Erlang pulled Su Can’s sleeve.

The father and son helped each other up.

Old Master Su said to the village head, “I didn’t bring them up well and almost wronged the Su family. It’s my fault.”

“Ah, this…” The village head scratched his head.

Old Master Su then looked at Su Xiaoxiao. “Daya, when your father comes back, I will personally visit and apologize. But Yuniang…”

Su Yuniang leaned closer to Su Xiaoxiao.

She took a brave step forward, but the reverence she had for Old Master Su still existed.

Perhaps in the near future, she could completely abandon him.

However, she was still affected.

Su Xiaoxiao gently held her shoulder and said to Old Master Su, “Yuniang has divorced her husband’s family. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if the divorced woman is accepted by her family, she can return to her family or establish her own family!”

Old Master Su’s expression changed when he heard that.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t give him any respect. “Old Man Su, do you want to stay here and continue to settle the score between us, or do you want to leave Yuniang here and take your son and grandson back?”

He had already embarrassed himself enough today. The more he said, the more mistakes he would make. Old Master Su could not stay any longer.

Otherwise, if he revealed a new flaw, there would really be no way to remedy it.

He looked at Su Yuniang coldly and left!

Now that Su Yuniang had returned safely and the commotion was over, it was time for the villagers to go back and digest the gossip they had witnessed today.

However, since the villagers were kind enough to look for Su Yuniang for the entire night, Su Yuniang was grateful and bought all of Su Xiaoxiao’s snacks today. When they were out of the pot, she would send them to everyone.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Little Wu steamed the snacks.

A rich crispy fragrance and the fragrance of meat wafted out from the kitchen. The villagers drooled.

Su Yuniang’s gratitude was not fake. It was also true that she knew how to win people over.

“Sigh, Yuniang, you’re such a good girl. The Zheng family is not blessed. Don’t think too much. Live your life well.”

“Don’t go to a place like a nunnery if you can avoid it. You even have a daughter.”

“Your little girl is out of confinement, right? When the weather is good, carry her out for a walk.”

“Sigh, your grandfather went overboard this time… Speaking of which, how did you come back?”

“It was Daya who saved me,” Su Yuniang said.

“It’s all thanks to you this time.”

“Sigh, Daya, I’m sorry. I was a little anxious today. I shouldn’t have distrusted you. If there’s a next time… I won’t do it again! I promise!”

The other villagers also apologized to Su Xiaoxiao.

“Look, it’s not like I didn’t gain anything. At least in the future, it won’t be easy for the Su family to frame us.”

After sending off the villagers, Su Yuniang sat on the threshold of the kitchen tiredly.

“Who brought you back?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

She was looking for Su Yuniang when she suddenly heard a thud from the back door. She opened it and saw Su Yuniang sitting at the door in a daze.

“A man,” Su Yuniang said.

Su Xiaoxiao thought about it, “My father?”

Su Yuniang said lightly, “Not an old man.”

Su Cheng, who had just returned from searching outside was speechless.

Su Cheng, who had just celebrated his thirty-seventh birthday was speechless for a long while.

Su Yuniang frowned. “Actually, I didn’t see his face clearly…”

“Oh.” Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze fell on Su Yuniang’s cloak.

Su Yuniang had been drugged twice, but the aftereffects of the drug were still there. Her mind seemed to be wrapped in mush, and she could not think too much.

“I’ll go back to the house first. My baby…”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “She’s in the Li family. Sister Zhao is feeding her.”

Su Yuniang did not say anything else. She held her aching waist and returned to her room.

She was about to take off her clothes when she raised her arm. Something was wrong.

She looked down and her expression changed slightly.

She was actually wearing a man’s cloak!

She took off her cloak and threw it on the ground!

Which stinky man’s thing was this?

—-

Su Xiaoxiao returned to the east room.

Wei Ting looked like he had just woken up. He sat on the chair and tidied his clothes. He wore the jade hair crown that Su Xiaoxiao had given him.

It was not real jade, but even if it was a stone, it looked like real jade on this man’s head.

It was said that clothes maketh the man. Why was it the other way around when it came to him?

It was early in the morning, and she was attacked by his looks. Anyone who looked at her would know.

Su Xiaoxiao walked into the house and looked to her heart’s content. She said calmly, “You sure slept well after such a big thing happened.”

Wei Ting chuckled. “Didn’t you ask me to stay at home to look after the children?”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “You sent him, right?”

“What?” Wei Ting pretended not to understand.

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up. “The person who saved Yuniang. Do you have… a guard hiding in the dark? He’s…”

“What?” Wei Ting asked.

The guard was just like Jing Yi’s four colored subordinates; they were elusive and appeared at his beck and call.

Su Xiaoxiao thought about it and decided not to reveal Jing Yi’s background. After all, Jing Yi had saved her. Jing Yi was her true friend, and this guy was only her husband in name!

“I don’t understand,” Wei Ting said coldly.

Su Xiaoxiao snorted, “Forget it if you don’t want to admit it!”

Some things did not need evidence. Su Xiaoxiao was not stupid. It was most likely him!

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly bent down and kissed him on the cheek.

“It’s your reward!”

Wei Ting squeezed his knuckles. “You!”

With a cold expression, he turned around in embarrassment. “Su…”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Su Xiaoxiao, who had been tired all night, lay on the bed and fell asleep.

Wei Ting stood up with a cold expression and looked murderously at a certain fat peacock that had offended him time and time again. His slender jade-like hand gently pulled the blanket over her.
