Chapter 62: Secret Competition

Su Shengsheng extended her hand and said, "Then please talk outside the courtyard."

The man paused, and before he could speak, Old Master Su spoke first, his voice filled with determination and determination: "Sheng girl, just pretend that your grandfather doesn't have this son. You don't need to worry about him anymore."

Old Master Su is very old, and he is fortunate to have arrived in southern Xinjiang safely.

At this moment, he was relying on his willpower to hold on and not fall down, and he was trying his best.

Su Shengsheng smiled faintly and said softly, "Grandfather, don't worry. Sheng'er just doesn't want this yard to be contaminated by filth."

When Su Deyong heard this, he immediately started cursing as if Su Shengsheng had completely given up on him.

"You ungrateful bastard, you..."

Before he could say anything else, Bao Er kicked him hard in the abdomen, causing Su Deyong to curl up like a shrimp in an instant due to the pain.

This scene made the person in charge raise his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he still stood still.

Su Shengsheng gently adjusted her sleeves, her tone as calm as ever: "Although you came in broad daylight, the injuries on his body are clearly the result of a night of beatings. I just paid the night market fee, which includes the insurance premium for patrolling the streets. By acting like this, aren't you insulting Lord Ling? This is not a good look."

Upon hearing this, the steward couldn't help but take the Su family's leading lady seriously.

"What do you want?" He knew very well that if the government really wanted to intervene, Su Shengsheng would not go to such great lengths to hire thugs.

Both of them are smart people, there is no need to hide it.

"Let's talk outside." Su Shengsheng spoke directly.

When Li heard this, she immediately became nervous, fearing that Su Shengsheng would be bullied by this group of vicious people. "Sheng'er, let's report it to the police."

Report to the police?

Su Shengsheng sighed helplessly.

It was obvious that these people were coming for her. Maybe they were sent by Changhua Street...

The people in the casino knew Su Deyong's worth at a glance. They were willing to lend him so much money for gambling because they had their eyes on the money in her hands.

One thousand five hundred taels, although not much for her now, it was enough to show that they came to cause trouble at the right time.

On the second day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, she used the money to buy land, and now she only has enough money left to hire workers.

They obviously took advantage of this opportunity to rob, so they didn't care about the existence of the government.

In fact, they were quite merciful.

If the Su family did not have the reputation of being the emperor's teacher and had no friendship with the Duke's Mansion and King Xuanming, I am afraid that this secret fight with Changhua Street would really be bloody.

They knew that Pinglai Street was currently holding back a lot of energy and had nowhere to expend it. If they were too harsh on her this time, it would surely arouse the hatred of all the merchants in Pinglai Street.

But if it doesn't hurt, and I feel I can't swallow this, I come here to find fault and save face.

Although Su Shengsheng was unwilling to swallow this loss, she also didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

Because Pinglai Street is currently unable to compete with Changhua Street.

What's more, my grandparents are old and can't stand such hardship.

Su Shengsheng patted her mother soothingly, "Don't worry, mother. They are only after money, not lives."

The grandfather finally couldn't hold back his tears, his voice choked with sobs: "What misfortune our family has, to have such a rebellious son."

Su Shengsheng said calmly, "Grandfather, please don't worry. It's just a loss of money to avoid disaster. It's nothing to worry about."

After saying that, she signaled Bao Er to pick up Su Deyong and follow her out of the yard.

Su Deyong knew that Su Shengsheng was planning to save him. After he calmed down, he no longer dared to be arrogant.

He obediently followed her outside, only to see Su Shengsheng looking at him coldly.

Su Deyong's face tightened and he never dared to underestimate his sixth niece again.

He said humbly, "Sheng girl, Fourth Uncle knows he was wrong and will never do it again."

Su Shengsheng's eyes were as cold as ice as she glanced coldly at the manager who was waiting to collect the money. "The matter between you and me is settled. But if it happens again, do you think you'll use the same trick again?"

Seeing Su Shengsheng accept the challenge, the steward said nothing more, "Today is just a lesson for you, so that you know the rules. As for whether such things will happen again in the future, that depends on your own luck."

Su Deyong listened to their conversation, his already confused mind becoming even more confused.

Su Shengsheng's eyes turned cold, and he slowly pulled out 1,500 taels of Jiaozi from his sleeve, but did not hand it over immediately.

"If you want me to pay money to help such an insignificant person, you have to have a good reason."

"What do you mean?" The manager thought she was going to go back on her word again, and his eyes instantly became fierce.

"I will only pay if the couple and their daughter sign a contract to sell themselves with me. Otherwise, there is no deal." Su Shengsheng's brows were cold.

"What?!" Su Deyong's face suddenly changed when he heard this. "You want me to sell myself to you?"

Bao Er spat, "If you can't speak, then don't talk nonsense. If you want to sell it, it will only be for livestock..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly paused, coughed twice, and interrupted himself, "Shut up, everyone, shut up."

As he spoke, he observed Su Shengsheng out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that she was not angry, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Deyong was almost kicked to death by the burly Bao Er. Even though he cursed in his heart, he didn't dare to say a word.

"Sixth niece, are you suspecting that I conspired with them to steal your money?" Su Deyong cried bitterly, "Look at how badly Fourth Uncle was beaten by them. He's almost dead. I really didn't plan this. I didn't want to gamble anymore. They insisted on lending me money to gamble, and they beat me if I didn't. I swear to heaven!"

Su Shengsheng interrupted him coldly, "I know, you don't have that brain."

Su Deyong was choked by her words and was speechless for a long time. In the end, he could only burst into tears, "Sixth niece, you made me sign a contract to sell myself to you. How can my fourth uncle hold his head up high in the future?"

At this time, the Fourth Madam and Su Wenqian who were found in Qing were also brought here.

When they saw this situation, they wanted to escape again, but were blocked by Qing.

On the way back, Su Shengsheng had already thought it through clearly.

Even if it is confirmed that this is a fight between two sides, we cannot ignore the hidden danger of Su Deyong.

However, she had never killed anyone in her two lives.

If she really had to take action, she wouldn't be able to do it even if Su Deyong deserved it.

Therefore, she could only adapt to local conditions and handle the matter according to the laws of her dynasty.

When the manager heard that she was not going to default on her debt, he was naturally happy to do her a favor.

He immediately lifted Su Deyong up, and heard Su Deyong howl in pain as his arm was severely cut.

The steward grabbed his messy hair and pressed his head against the bloody ground, "Write it, or you'll die right here."

After saying that, he didn't forget to step on Su Deyong's back and told him to call Su Wenqian and her daughter over, "Hurry up, don't delay my fortune."
