CH 64

The Su family were all important military officials, the court’s trusted aide, and part of its arm. Naturally, they also had their own relationship for investigating, which was extremely fast and efficient.

No matter how Su Lianxue struggled and defended, in the end, it was still her struggle that tied her to the ancestral hall. Because she kept screaming, the old momo stuffed a piece of cleaning rag into her mouth which was hidden in her sleeve when she came in a hurry just now.

“Umgg! Mghh...... Mmgh! Mmgg......” Su Lianxue was put into a sack which was black and she couldn’t see anything. For the first time, others treated her like this and it was still the brothers that once got along with her and doted on her all the time, which made her feel fear.

She didn’t know where the Su family was going to take her and how to deal with her. Until she was thrown to the ground by someone. She struggled to tear the burlap sack that covered her with her hands and her fingernails were split. Suddenly, she heard a sharp sword out of its sheath and made a buzzing sound! When Su Lianxue curled up shouting and screaming, the top of the burlap sack was cut open by the sword.

Su Lianxue saw light and pulled down the burlap sack on her lower body in a disheveled state. Then she saw an imposing figure of father Su standing in front of the ancestral hall with his hands behind his back and also the sixth young master Su Yanling, who was still kneeling there in the ancestral hall.

“Father...... Sixth older brother......” Su Lianxue didn’t give up: “Xue-er was framed by others...... Those things...... Xue-er has never done those things!” (tenderflower: god, this b**ch!! I hope she dies already!!!)

Su Yanling glanced at her. He wanted to say something but he hesitated.

“Real evidence is in our possession. Do you still want to talk back?” The two shoulders of his tall back slightly trembled. His voice was also extremely forbearing. (tenderflower: Please, I’m speechless.)

“No! It’s not!” Su Lianxue shook her head and denied. She crawled forward, wanting to grab “father” Su Hongwei’s clothes, but she was kicked away by him with wide eyes opened. She fell heavily to the ground, suffering pain and screaming: “Ah!”

“Father......” Su Lianxue held her painful elbow, lifted her pitiful face, and looked at Su Hongwei incredulously. She opened her mouth and still wanted to continue to make things up. However, Su Hongwei waved his sleeve, throwing a stack of rice paper to Su Lianxue’s face angrily, and shouted in a stern voice: “I’m not your father! I don’t have a poison-hearted daughter like you!

“If you really take me as your father, how can you harm Little Seven? Harmed your younger sister?” Su Hongwei was bitter and hateful. In his eyes were a mixture of love and hate. What he loved was his self-blame and compassion for Little Seven. What he hated was this vicious woman like a white-eyed wolf in front of him. Looking at Su Lianxue, he clenched his back teeth: “Look at these confessions! In addition to the earrings of mother Qiu’s statement, she also said that the little girl who sent Little Seven to her at that time had a red mole on her ear!”

At that time, in order to convince mother Qiu to take Little Seven away as soon as possible, Su Lianxue wrapped all the valuable things in her body with a handkerchief and stuffed them into mother Qiu.

Before Su Lianxue arbitrarily asserted: “I lost the handkerchief! The earrings have long been missing. Who knows where the trafficker stole them! What’s more, there are more than one or two similar earrings in the world! Some people may see the style of the general’s residence as pretty and copying it is also not possible? How can you just frame me!”

The red mole on her ear, Su Lianxue completely forgot this layer. When she was a child, she and Little Seven wore ear clips. They didn’t pierce their ears until they were 15 years old when they reached the marriageable age. When piercing the ear hole, the red mole on the center of her left earlobe was tied unbiasedly. If mother Qiu didn’t say it she almost forgot that she originally had a mole on her earlobe.

“No...... not me......” Su Lianxue frantically rummaged through the confessions in her hands and finally crumpled them into a ball. Her eyes moved swiftly and repeatedly prattled. Finally, she found herself with a poor reason: “It must be Shen Qi who harmed me! Yes, she harmed me! Father! The daughter was accused wrongly! You don’t believe me either? Didn’t you love me the most?! When I was a child...... when I was a child, you still hugged me! Piggyback me! Took me to sit on the horse, push my swing...... You......”

Su Hongwei turned around and clutched Su Lianxue’s two shoulders tightly. His sharp eyes like an eagle were full of hatred. His eyes were covered with bloodshot and slightly cloudy. Apparently, he hadn’t slept all night and was a little haggard. Su Lianxue groaned in pain and continued to pretend to be pitiful toward Su Hongwei and said: “Father...... Xue-er hurt so much with your clutch......”

“Does it hurt?” Su Hongwei asked in a cold voice.

Su Lianxue nodded tearfully, thinking that Su Hongwei cared about her, which also showed that he believed her a little.

However, instead of letting go, Su Hongwei’s hands’ strength increased, and Su Lianxue cried out in pain. Unlike the act of crying fake tears just now, it was real tears: “Father...... it’s very hurt...... you.......”

“Is this near hurting? You...... you together with mother Qiu sold my Little Seven...... so cute, so small Little Seven so cheaply! Including the pain of my flesh and blood separation! The pain of my Little Seven stranded outside, homeless and miserable! The pain of my Little Seven becomes a person that dies, walking along the tip of blades and licking her own blood. Struggling at the edge of life and death! Did Little Seven not hurt?! Only like this...... you’re already hurting?”

Everyone only heard a “crack!” sound. The sound was crisp, accompanied by the sound of Su Lianxue screaming in pain. Her shoulder blades were actually crushed by Su Hongwei! (tenderflower: ouch!!~)

“Ah!!!” Su Lianxue fell to the ground, both of her hands were unable to huddle. Her complexion was pale as she rolled on the ground with pain.

Su Lianxue didn’t read the confessions so Su Shengfeng told her: “When Little Seven was lost, she was wearing a pink top and a skirt. That day, you were wearing a goose yellow top and a skirt. Including the red mole on your left earlobe, speaking obliquely of the southern accent, jade earrings, and a handkerchief. All of these fit one into another.

“If you still want to talk back then talk to your gambler father who once sold you to the brothel!”

It turned out Su Lianxue was lying when she met them for the first time. She wasn’t an orphan girl who escaped from famine and fled to the city. Her biological mother died halfway on the road and was taken away by two gamblers that work in the dark and sold to the brothel.

Rather her mother came to Chang'an City to find her father who went to labor outside, but her father was fond of gambling by nature. He originally wanted to sell her mother to the brothel to pay off the gambling debt, but he didn’t expect his own wife to be seriously ill or have tuberculosis so the brothels didn’t accept her. Therefore, he sold his biological daughter to the brothel, thinking that he was just “paying for goods” anyway.
