The official saw that he was beaten up badly and even spoke so arrogantly, and he didn't want to pay any attention to him, so he laughed disdainfully, "You deserve a beating. Normally when you bully the countryside, Su Jin Se makes you suffer today, you deserve a beating as well!"
"You all …"
Fan Da Niu shouted, "Su Jin Se, even if I die, I won't let you off!"
Su Jin Se woke up from her dreams, her mind still reverberating with Fan Da Niu's curses. She wiped off the sweat on her forehead and looked outside. It was still not dawn.
She could no longer sleep. She put on her shoes and prepared to go out. However, she saw a familiar back figure inside the yard smoking a pipe …
"Father …"
She pushed open the old and worn-out door and walked into the courtyard. Old Man Su was startled as he turned his head to look at her. "Girl, why did you get up? Did Father disturb you?"
"No, Father. Why aren't you resting? Have you quarreled with your mother?"
Old Man Su shook his head. He put down the dry smoke in his hand and said earnestly, "My daughter, Father knows that you will be leaving home for the Southern County tomorrow. Father also knows that if you don't want to go, you will do it because of us."
"Dad, what are you talking about? That dog official just wanted to please the imperial guard, that's all. I'm just going to cook. It's okay, you don't have to worry."
"Father knows that you are a good child, but the road to the Southern County isn't peaceful."
"What's wrong, Father?"
Old Man Su let out a heavy sigh and said softly, "Recently, there have been people robbed on that road. I heard that the bandits in Phoenix Camp are all gathered on that road. "The county magistrate isn't willing to send someone to send you off, I …"
"Dad, it's fine. Su Yu and I don't have anything. We're all alone. What's there to fight for? Don't worry about it."
Su Jinye never would have thought that Old Man Su would actually worry about the two sisters. Didn't he not like them?
Father knows that you're very capable and smart. Jinsi, before you leave home, I want to tell you something, something that Father and Mother have been hiding from you for the past ten years. Now that you've grown up and become sensible, it's time for me to tell you!
Su Jin Se was stunned. "Father, what's the matter?"
Old Man Su stood up and walked over to the wattled fencing. He raised his head and looked at the moon and stars in the sky. He was silent for a long time before he turned around and said, "Actually …"
"Dad, what is it?"
She knew what Old Man Su was going to say. She remembered what Su Yu had said. Could it be that it was about her ancestry?
"Father knew that you wanted to change your name. When you were called Jinsi, Father saw through it. Did you remember something?"
"Father, I …"
What was she supposed to say? Was Jinx the name of her previous life?
"I hope you're not sad because you're not our child. Dad picked you up on the way here."
"What, picked it up?"
Su Jinsi was slightly stupefied. How could it have been picked up? Although she had heard Su Yu say that her parents were secretly saying that she wasn't their biological child, she had still picked it up. Wasn't the original owner a bit too pitiful?
His dark eyes seemed to recall the past, "That's right, it was picked up from the past, that year, father went to the town to look for the market, and when I came back, I saw that you fainted by the roadside, and when I saw that there was no one around, I brought you back. When you woke up, you could not tell where your home was, but I know that you are called Jinsi, and your father saw that you are dressed well, and you should be the child of a rich family, so …"
"So, you let me stay?"
"I also asked around to find out which family lost their child, but there was no news. I thought that since I couldn't find your family, I might as well raise them with Su Yu. You're also surnamed Su, so I changed your name to Xingyue."
This time, Su Jin Se finally understood. Why did Old Man Su agree so easily when she changed her name. So the original owner's real name was really Su Jin Se, and not Su Xing Yue?
Old Man Su thought she was very sad when he saw Su Jin Se not speaking. "Jin Se, do you hate Dad? "Father didn't have the ability nor did he let you live a peaceful life. Now, he's asking you to listen to that county magistrate's orders for our sake. I heard that Lord Supreme Protector's temper is known to be strange. Father is truly worried. If the dishes you make displeased him, would he …"
Could it be that he wanted to make a move against Su Jin Se?
I believe that my cooking skills will absolutely not anger the Great Defender. Father, although I'm not your biological son, I've lived with you all these years. In my heart, even if you're my biological mother and sister, you can rest assured that I will take good care of my sister. "
Old Man Su didn't expect that Su Jin Se would be so calm when she heard about his background. She didn't cry as she went to find his parents, nor did she cry. As expected, she was a completely different person.
"Girl, aren't you going to look for your biological parents?"
Su Jin Se shook her head and turned around, "They didn't want me anymore. Why would I go back to look for them? Father, I'll bury this matter in my heart. From now on, none of us need to mention this anymore."
Old Man Su was extremely excited. It seemed that he knew how to repay favors when he raised his child. This way, he would be able to take good care of Su Yu.
"Alright, alright!"
The next morning, the sun was bright and bright. After Su Jinsi packed everything up, he brought Su Yu out of the Xiao family village. The Su family's two elders came to see them off, Su Yu carried her backpack, and Su Jinsi led a horse, "Father, Mother, you guys go back. We're on our way!"
"You have to listen to me when you get there, okay? Don't go and cause trouble? "
Old Lady Su really couldn't bear to part with Su Yudao. This little girl had never been out of the house since she was young, so she might as well just let it pass. This damned girl actually gave Auntie Gu a golden spoon, but she was too angry to care about her, she wasn't the one who gave birth to her in the first place.
"Mother, I know. Sister, we should leave now!"
"Su Jin Se, take good care of my Su Yu. If anything happens to her, you're the only one I'm going to ask."
"Old granny, what are you doing? Jinsi is also our child."
"That's not it. After so many years, your mother is already a glutton. You said that she gave such a precious golden spoon to that Gu Li's wife without giving it to me? Tell me, what kind of logic is that?" After so many years of eating and living with me, shouldn't she take revenge? "He really raised an ingrate!"
"Mom, don't say that. Auntie Gu is sick and Uncle Gu is dead. She needs money."
Su Yu felt that what her mother said was too unpleasant. It was obvious that her elder sister wasn't her daughter?
"Hmph, sick. I was sick, too. No one paid for me. Shut up, now. Let's go."
