After her biological father achieved great merit, he changed his heart and decided to abandon her and her mother. He said, "I am the ever-victorious Marquis of Anping. You and your mother shoul...
"Father is right."
Su Changshui nodded in agreement. There were many things to take care of at home, so they really couldn't rush things.
The reason why they keep getting scammed is because they are in a hurry.
If they had calmed down, at least half of the disasters could have been avoided.
While everything is still available, we can settle down and relax.
He thought it over carefully. Putting everything else aside, just considering his own situation, what would happen if he didn't go to pick up the goods?
That clan knew they were in Liuzhou City, and they would definitely try their best to send the goods there in order to survive.
That would have solved the problem perfectly. It's just a pity that he didn't think of that at the time. He was only thinking about setting off as soon as possible, which led to one accident after another.
My second brother still hasn't come back. The Zhan Chi Cloth Shop has already opened here, so things must not be going well for him.
"We can't send her away. If we send her away, our family will truly be finished..."
Su Chang'an exhaled a breath of stale air and spoke in a deep voice. He felt all the divine power in his body disappear, and he knew that he had returned to the ordinary farmer Su Chang'an he was five years ago.
But the experiences and observations of the past few years cannot be faked. It is known that all of this was done by the daughter. She must have divine favor bestowed upon her by heaven. Because she wanted it, they were able to enjoy wealth and honor.
Now she's alienated from them, and she wants to leave.
They had already been reduced to their original state; without her in charge, they would have returned to their previous impoverished lives sooner or later.
We absolutely cannot let her leave.
Su Chang'an's eyes were cold and ruthless, brooking no refusal.
"Brother, have you forgotten? She just told you not long ago to remind you to send her away, or you'd regret it!"
Su Changshui didn't expect Su Chang'an to still be so stubborn at this point. He put on a stern face and, disregarding his disobedience, said those words.
“That’s right. That girl hates us. Since she came, your mother and I haven’t had a single good day. Rather than letting her cause trouble, it’s better to let her leave sooner and give the family some peace and quiet.”
Old Man Su looked at Su Chang'an and said earnestly.
In recent years, he has rarely asked his sons to listen to him.
He was so serious because he wanted Su Chang'an to understand his meaning.
Old Su glanced at Old Yang, who spoke almost instantly: "Your father is right. The root of all this trouble is that girl. If we send her away sooner, our house will be peaceful."
Old Mrs. Yang was completely obedient to Old Man Su; it was a reaction ingrained in her very being.
Old Man Su glanced at her, and she immediately spoke up for him.
Faced with Su Chang'an's indifferent expression, Old Madam Yang lowered her eyes.
Seeing that his parents were on his side, Su Changshui immediately felt more confident. He said, "Brother, who knows what trouble it will cause if we keep her here? We've already suffered enough losses. Pulling back from the brink is the right thing to do."
Su Chang'an felt a headache coming on again. He said in a deep voice, "I trust my intuition. If we send her away, our family will be truly finished. She is my daughter. It took such a great deal of effort to get her back. I will never send her away. I would rather die than send her away."
Su Chang'an firmly refused, not wanting to see his family's cold faces, so he turned and left after speaking.
Su Changshui was very dissatisfied: "Father, Mother, my eldest brother has become too big for his britches and doesn't take us seriously anymore..."
If brothers disagree, why should they have to listen to only one of them?
"Is this home ours together, or just his? He brought back a tyrant, and he doesn't even care about us!"
Su Changshui poured out his dissatisfaction.
Old Man Su and Old Madam Yang also looked rather unwell.
Old Man Su realized that his position as the head of the family was gone, and that his son, now the Marquis of Anping, would no longer listen to him.
Old Mrs. Yang was worried that Old Man Su would punish her; the thought of Old Man Su's methods made her tremble with fear.
“Your older brother has his reasons. There are some things we haven’t considered. Let’s not bring this up again for now and see how it goes later.”
Old Su was naturally unhappy, but he still had to say it.
Su Changshui snorted and walked away.
Old Mrs. Yang was extremely anxious.
"Kneel down, and see what kind of monstrosities you've given birth to..."
Old Man Su's face was grim. Now that everyone had left, his anger naturally fell on Old Madam Yang.
Old Mrs. Yang's eyes immediately filled with tears. She knelt down and cried, "Old man, I'm so old, I don't have many years left to live. Please, let me go..."
Old Su's expression was gloomy, and he remained silent.
Soon, Old Madam Yang's screams drifted out, but the servants, already used to it, pretended not to hear anything.
...
After closing the door, both Lian and Liu revealed their worried expressions.
Madam Lian sighed and said, "Second sister-in-law, this matter can't be delayed any longer. Second brother hasn't returned yet, I'm afraid things aren't going well..."
If they want to leave, they should do so as soon as possible.
"You've found all the places where the third brother hid the money?"
Liu looked at Lian and asked, knowing that Lian was determined to leave.
Lian nodded: "I found it."
"Second sister-in-law, I'll give you one more day. If you still can't make up your mind, I won't wait for you anymore."
Lian had already found the right place to put the money. She was worried every time Su Changshui went out to have fun, because the money was getting less and less. After hearing what she heard today, she felt that if she didn't run away now, she would never have another chance.
Although Su Chang'an is already the Marquis of Anping, he may not necessarily be finished, but what if he is?
If something as bizarre as not being able to eat can happen, then anything is possible.
"Sister-in-law, when shall we set off?"
Without hesitation, Liu gave Lian a definite answer.
Seeing that she had finally come to her senses, Lian smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, there will be a celebration at the temple in a few days. We'll say we're going to pray for blessings and then leave without coming back. By the time the coachman returns to report, a whole day will have passed, and we'll be very, very far away. At that point, we'll be all over the place, and Su Chang'an won't be able to reach us."
Liu nodded: "Alright, then let's escape this sea of suffering together..."
Lian laughed, and the two held hands and chatted about everyday things, hoping for a peaceful future.
On the morning of November 28th, Liu and Lian made an excuse to go to the temple to offer incense and pray for a peace charm before leaving the mansion. However, they were stopped by Su Yu'e at the mansion gate.
Both of them felt a tightness in their chests, but they both looked at Su Yu'e with tacit contempt.
"Little sister, what's wrong? Do you want to come with us?"
Lian asked with a smile.
Su Yu'e showed disgust: "The blessing is fake, right? You're just doing rotten things."
Su Yu'e felt disgusted at the thought of such a place.
"Little sister, you're not young anymore. You should watch your words and be careful not to offend others with your speech."
Liu spoke calmly, seemingly offering a friendly reminder to Su Yu'e.
"Aren't you afraid I'll tell my older brother?"
Su Yu'e gritted her teeth, feeling extremely unwilling. She couldn't swallow this insult, but she had no good solution.
Liu smiled faintly.
Lian laughed even more heartily, and said with a smile, "Little sister, go ahead and say what you want to say. Anyway, we're just worthless lives, and it's worth it to have you by our side."
