Do no evil

On this day, Su Liu was hiding near the main castle as usual, hoping to find an opportunity to sneak in and take a look.

Su Liu is very suspicious that the experiments conducted in the underground palace are related to the demon boy in the later part of the plot.

but……

There is no way.

When doing farm work in the afternoon, Old Li came again. His eyes were very resentful. It was obvious that Master Gu was making trouble again.

Su Liu put down the farm tools and walked with Lao Li behind a patch of dogtail grass as tall as a person.

"During this period, I asked you to find some people with questionable character to serve as the resistance army. Has Master Gu discovered this?" Su Liu asked.

"...Not really. It's...a few days ago, an old lady came to me and asked me to help find a way to bring her into the manor. She wanted to seek justice for her child. I was worried that she would do something bad, so..." Old Li said hesitantly.

"What kind of justice?" Su Liu was a little surprised.

Old Li looked around and saw only Qi Fengling and Ji He, who were wearing bamboo hats. They were concentrating on cutting straw and didn't seem to be paying attention to Su Liu.

Old Li still blinked worriedly and hinted: Can I really tell it?

Su Liu nodded and told him it was okay, as the surroundings were safe.

Old Li finally calmed down, organizing his words a bit before recounting his story. "That old woman had a very beautiful young son who was an Omega. A few years ago, he was taken away to a beauty pageant and disappeared for half a year. He later escaped, but he'd gone mad. She'd originally accepted her fate, but recently, she met a female Omega, whose last name seemed to be Lin. Miss Lin told her that her son was framed and made into this state by someone, also an Omega, who lived right here in this village."

"Beauty?" Su Liu couldn't help but look around, and deliberately lowered his voice when speaking.

Old Li lowered his eyelids heavily and gave Su Liu a silent but affirmative reply.

"If that Omega and Hongyan have any connection, then their ages don't match." Su Liu raised her eyebrows slightly. "Did she lie about her age?"

Old Li hadn't thought of this, but after hearing Su Liu's words, he was also surprised. But he soon thought of something and explained, "Some underage Omegas can also participate in beauty pageants, but the selection is kept secret. Hongyan may not have participated in the beauty pageant last year."

So there is such a thing. The vampires are really crazy.

Su Liu pondered for a moment and returned to the previous topic: "This Madam, is she here to seek justice from the Duke?"

Old Li sighed helplessly, "This is exactly what I'm worried about. The townspeople always take it for granted that finding a high-ranking vampire can help them resolve all their grievances, but how could the Duke care about such a trivial matter? Even if she came with the blood letter, she might be stopped by someone sent by Gu before she even reaches Manager Ji. In the end, even if she threatens death, she won't be able to see the Duke. It would be a waste of her life."

"It's okay. Bring her in. Then tell her you have a way to get her to see the Duke. But before that, she must keep this secret to herself and not tell anyone else except you. This Zhuangzi isn't a temple for the Buddha. No one will sympathize with her suffering, and it will only bring disaster upon her... Detail the details and do your best to keep her calm."

Good and evil will be rewarded and punished, like a shadow. Su Liu has carefully built a hell for these people, and has added a new part of sin judgment, but he still needs Lao Li's cooperation.

Old Li was a smart subordinate, more flexible than Liu Weizhen, so he was better at observing people's expressions and quickly understood what Su Liu meant.

There were some things that were not convenient to say directly. Seeing that Lao Li had understood, Su Liu gave him a few more instructions and asked him to go down and prepare.

In the evening, when Su Liu and his friends returned the farm tools and carried dinner back to the farmhouse, the old lady had already moved in next door to them.

The nanny was about sixty years old and was standing by the door threshold. When she saw Su Liu and the others, although she didn't recognize them, she smiled kindly. She didn't look like a warrior with a blood feud. It seemed that Old Li must have explained everything to her in detail.

The nanny’s surname is Hu and her given name is Sui.

Everyone was surprised to see such an old servant in the farmhouse.

"You're still working at such an old age. Are you an old widow?"

"Her children don't care about her? It would be such bad luck if she died here!"

"Hey, isn't that the same as Manager Gu?"

"Manager Gu's father passed away a few days ago, and he even came to us to ask for money for the funeral. Has he outsourced his filial piety?"

"...Did he ask you for it? He asked me for it, and he even said that he would treat us and that he wouldn't take our money for nothing. Could he just treat us with a few bundles of rotten vegetable leaves?"

"I heard his father was pissed off to death by him, and even had maggots growing in his body when he died...tsk tsk."

"His father is just paralyzed, how can he still have maggots?"

"Because he can't move, no one takes care of his shit, and those bedsores have slowly rotted. Manager Gu's mother is too old to take care of her. Last week, she came to him to ask for money, crying miserably, saying that she couldn't make ends meet and wanted to pay someone to help. What do you think Manager Gu did? Hey, what a black-hearted and unfilial son! Manager Gu didn't even want to give a penny, and he even scolded his mother. The old lady was so pitiful that she had no choice but to go back crying, ah."

"...Didn't his father become paralyzed not long ago? It's only been a few days, and he's already gone? Did he torture his father to death on purpose? How could he be so cruel?"

"What's the point of having a son like this? I would have been better off giving him land to cultivate."

"He's the only child Master Gu's parents had?"

"He has three older brothers and sisters, all Omegas. They were raised for money and sold off to other men as wives when they were eleven or twelve. Only Master Gu was kept by his family because he was a Beta and couldn't have children, so no one wanted him. "

“…Serves you right!”

"retribution!"

Everyone was whispering.

It also allowed Su Liu to have a better understanding of the character of Manager Gu's family.

Fortunately, Lin Shu did not treat Manager Gu. Manager Gu would soon have a deep understanding of what it feels like to have a stroke.

After it got dark.

Perhaps because old lady Hu Sui always had a smiling face when she met everyone, everyone quickly lost interest and dispersed.

Su Liu was just planning to sneak in to find out more about the underground palace, but he saw from a distance that Manager Gu was stealthily leading an old lady who was even older than Hu Sui over.

The old lady looked about 70% like Manager Gu, and she was obviously Manager Gu's mother.

"Son! I am your biological mother. How can you let me live with these inferior people?" The old lady pursed her lips in disgust and squinted her eyes at Su Liu who was standing at the door looking at the moonlight.

"Stay here for now. I'll find a reason to arrange a better place for you in a few days," said Gu, a hypocritical and dramatic person. He had only wanted to settle his frightened mother at night. He hadn't expected that Su Liu and the others were still awake at this hour, and the lights were not on. He almost jumped out of his skin, and he had to hold back the words he wanted to scold his mother, switching to "tender and filial" mode.

Although he was forced to open his business, he was thinking: "That damn old woman has so many problems. It's good enough that you're staying here, and you're afraid that the old man will come back to find you on the seventh day? That old thing is completely dead, what's there to be afraid of? She's just looking for an excuse to blame your son! What a debt-collecting old woman! I'm so unlucky to have a mother like you!"

People in the village have been gossiping lately, saying he's unfilial. How is he unfilial? He took his parents' retirement savings because he was worried they were old and vulnerable to thieves, so it was better for him to keep it.

As for the rest, he had his nephew regularly send the old couple some vegetables from the farm every month, rain or shine. They never missed a meal. As the head of the farm, could he just embezzle the farm's goodies and use them to supplement the family income? He had his own difficulties. The old couple were too greedy and even complained that the food was not tasty. At their age, what more could they want from delicacies?

What do these unruly people in Zhuangzi, who have never held power and have no vision, understand?

When is it someone else's turn to judge their family affairs!

As a result, he was forced to take the old woman in!

He has obviously done well enough!

What exactly is unfilial about this?

Manager Gu's inner thoughts came out one by one like a barrage of comments. He didn't even need to draft his lies, and he didn't have any psychological burden. He logically and self-consistently pushed all the mistakes onto others.

Su Liu watched as Manager Gu took his mother to the house next to Madam Hu, and then he left in a hurry without even bothering to dust off the cobwebs on the door bolt.

It seems that Master Gu is indeed reluctant to shoulder his responsibilities as a son, but there has been a lot of gossip in the village recently. Even Su Liu and the others have had their funeral contributions taken away by Master Gu, saying that he wants to give his father a grand funeral. If Master Gu doesn't bring in his widowed mother, who is lingering at the village gate and refuses to leave, it seems that he can't maintain his image as a "filial son".

Now he just abandoned the old lady and didn't care about her anymore. It seemed that he still wanted these Omegas in the manor to act as free babysitters and take care of his mother.

Another despicable conspiracy.

When it comes to this kind of thing, Manager Gu is quite clever.

Why are you as stupid as a pig when it comes to serious matters?

Su Liu sighed, not knowing what to say.

If kindhearted people like Xiao Cheng and the rebels were here, they might actually help this old lady who was already paralyzed and howling. Unfortunately, there aren't that many saints and holy fathers in the village right now. Su Liu had already closed the door before the old woman looked over.

It's still quite scary to hear an old man howling in the middle of the night.

But no one wants to meddle in such matters.

Manager Gu, as his own son, doesn't care about his mother, so how can he have the nerve to ask others to be considerate to his mother?

From the farmhouse came the sound of "tsks" and muffled curses as people were woken up.

After a while, Hu Sui seemed to have reached the limit of his patience, so he had to open the door, help the old lady to a stool, and then took the initiative to fetch water for the old lady to clean the house.

"Sister, please sit down." Hu Sui's voice came calmly.

Then came the sound of Hu Sui's footsteps receding.

After Hu Sui walked away, the old lady immediately stopped howling and whispered, "Humph, what were you doing earlier? You lowly people should serve me. My son is the boss!"

Then, like a bandit, he walked into the house that Hu Sui had cleaned and closed the door.

Soon, the sound of the old woman snoring in her sleep could be heard from the room.

When Hu Sui came back and saw that the house had been occupied by someone, he actually laughed softly.

If Su Liu is not a vampire, and even her voice cannot be heard, perhaps Hu Sui is also hiding something from Lao Li.

An old lady like this traveled thousands of miles to the Duke's estate, passing through so many checkpoints along the way, without any news being heard. She must be more patient than Lao Li thought.

What Lin Shu told her might be a very detailed physiognomy.

It was so detailed that she gritted her teeth and cried out in blood, determined to take revenge even if she had to humble herself.
