Chapter 112: Using a dead end to exchange for a way to life
Grandma Wu looked at Zhuo Ge'er with expectation and love.
Zhuo Ge'er shook his head and grabbed Su Zhiyi again: "I won't go. I will be a member of the Su family in the future. I don't have a grandmother. I only listen to the princess sister."
Grandma Wu’s smile froze, her lips couldn’t help but tremble, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Brother Zhuo, have you forgotten your childhood..."
"Don't mention your childhood to me," Zhuo Ge'er said with disgust, "I don't remember that shabby place, and I don't remember the people there. I will grow up in the capital, and I am a person from the capital."
He leaned closer to Su Zhiyi: "I am a member of the Su family."
Grandma Wu staggered and Yu Shengsheng supported her.
"Su Zhiyi, don't you think it's despicable to use this method on a child?"
Su Zhiyi smiled lightly and patted Zhuo Ge'er's hand: "Go and have some snacks. I'll make you something delicious at noon. Stay in the mansion for two days and then go back to the academy."
Zhuo Ge'er smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess Sister."
He tilted his head and glared at Yu Shengsheng: "I only listen to Sister Princess."
That gaze was as real as a substance, shooting into Yu Shengsheng's heart.
This is no longer the boy who used to circle around her when she was a child, clapping his hands and praising her for being so good, and who would comfort her out of heartache when he saw her get hurt.
Zhuo Ge'er happily went to eat snacks. Su Zhiyi said lightly: "It's so easy to raise a child astray. He has seen good things, why would he go back to eating grass?"
She tilted her head to look at Qi Mubai: "Qi Zhuangyuan should understand this principle best, right?"
Zhuo Ge'er is a child, and Qi Mubai is the grown-up child.
Qi Mubai curled his lips and smiled: "The princess is right."
Su Yanshu waved his hand: "Alright, drag him away and execute him."
The executioner was about to come and drag Grandma Wu away.
Grandma Wu closed her eyes slightly and yelled, "Wait a minute! I can walk by myself. Let me talk to Shengsheng."
“Shengsheng,” Grandma Wu grabbed Yu Shengsheng’s hand, tears streaming down her face, “It’s Grandma’s fault. I’ve dragged you down.”
"If it weren't for me, today..."
I can escape from the Su family's cage today.
Yu Shengsheng's eyes turned red and she shook her head. Just as she was about to speak, Grandma Wu grabbed her and said, "Good child, listen to grandma. Grandma is old now, and the people she misses most are you and Zhuo Ge'er."
"Brother Zhuo... Everyone has their own destiny. I can't harm you because of him."
"Shengsheng, grandma knows that you are in so much pain. You were abused since you were a child and never had a good day. You thought you would be fine after finding your family, but who knew you would fall into a wolf's den."
The Su family's expressions changed slightly.
Grandma Wu ignored them and continued, "Don't be afraid, kid. There is still a long way to go. As long as you are alive, there is hope."
Grandma Wu tilted her head and looked at the other people in the hall, her eyes sweeping across the faces of the Su family members one by one.
"Each of you, you talk about kindness and affection, but in fact you have your own agenda and poisonous fangs in your mouth. Has anyone ever really considered Shengsheng? As grandmothers and brothers, you all force her!"
"And you, Shengsheng is your flesh and blood, but just because you didn't raise her by your side, you treated her so cruelly! Are you worthy of being a mother? You will go to hell sooner or later, and even the King of Hell will not forgive you when you get to the underworld."
Mrs. Su was startled, tears welling up in her eyes: "I'm not..."
Grandma Wu looked at Su Zhiyi again: "You are just afraid that Shengsheng will come back and take your place. You are pretending to be pitiful, scheming, and having a vicious heart. You will not have a good ending!"
"How dare you!" Su Dingqin shouted.
Grandma Wu was not afraid at all. She looked at Qi Mubai again. Qi Mubai looked at her, his lips tightly pursed, and a hint of shame and uneasiness flashed in the depths of his eyes.
But Grandma Wu didn't say anything. She just spat at him fiercely: "Bah!"
Su Yanshu waved her hands, and the executioner came over to pull her away again.
Grandma Wu suddenly let go of Yu Shengsheng and, gathering all her strength, rushed towards the corner of the heavy table.
"Snap!"
Yu Shengsheng's heart trembled violently, her body shook uncontrollably, her breathing stopped, her hands clenched into fists, her eyes opened as wide as possible, and she looked at Grandma Wu lying in a pool of blood in disbelief.
She said that as long as you are alive, there is hope.
But she was so determined to go to the road of death.
Yu Shengsheng wanted to cry, but couldn't. She walked over lightly, slowly squatted down, her fingers trembling.
She said in a very soft voice: "Grandma Wu? Don't scare me."
Grandma Wu didn't answer.
The empty waiting made Yu Shengsheng's heart feel as if it was pressed down by a heavy mountain, grinding against it until she could hardly breathe.
With trembling fingers, she tried to check Grandma Wu's breath.
And more, and more!
Yu Shengsheng's tears fell one by one, and her voice was hoarse: "Quick, call a doctor! Quick!"
The old lady paused while flicking the beads in her hand, frowned and said, "What bad luck!"
Su Dingqin's face turned pale and he cursed angrily, "What kind of doctor is that? She's lucky to die like this!"
Yu Shengsheng's eyes were about to spit fire: "Baobao, go call the doctor!"
Jin Baobao came back to his senses from his daze: "Okay, okay, I'll go right away!"
She turned to leave, but Su Dingqin waved his hand and the guards in the courtyard stopped her.
Yu Shengsheng held Grandma Wu in her arms and gently pressed her wound to stop the bleeding, but it hurt her: "Grandma Wu, don't die, please..."
Grandma Wu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes with difficulty, breathing very weakly: "Shengsheng, don't cry... Good child, you have to be well and live on..."
Yu Shengsheng burst into tears: "Grandma Wu, please don't leave me, please, don't leave me... You are all I have..."
She turned to look at the guards outside, like a ruthless little beast: "Grandma Wu, hold on, I'll take you to see a doctor!"
Yu Shengsheng gritted her teeth and tried her best to carry Grandma Wu on her back.
Her face flushed, but her steps were firm: "Grandma, don't sleep, I won't let you die."
Grandma Wu lay on her back, blood dripping down, dripping through her hair, staining her cheeks and shoulders red, and dripping to the ground, leaving deep and shallow footprints.
Su Dingqin stopped her and said in a deep voice: "Shengsheng, this old slave deserves to die! She doesn't know the difference between respect and inferiority, and she doesn't respect her master..."
Yu Shengsheng stared at Su Dingqin: "Who should die? You are the one who should die! You guys! What I regret most is coming back to the Su family! What respect and what master? You are not worthy!"
Su Dingqin was furious: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Yu Shengsheng gritted her teeth and said, "Let go."
Grandma Wu's blood-soaked eyelashes trembled, and she said with her last breath: "Shengsheng, don't..."
Before she finished her words, her hands dropped weakly and stopped moving.
Yu Shengsheng closed her eyes slightly, tears rolling down her cheeks. Grief surged like a wave, spreading to every bone in her body and crushing it to pieces.
She wanted to yell, but no sound came out. All the grief and anger in her heart was stuck in her throat and chest.
Su Yanshu's face turned cold and he ordered, "Shengsheng, that's enough! You've been too willful today. Come, drag the body away, clean the floor, and throw away the table."
The two executioners came over and tried to drag away Grandma Wu's body.
"Let's see who dares!"
The whites of Yu Shengsheng's eyes were bloodshot, and anger was ignited in her eyes, as if it could burn everyone to ashes.
"Shengsheng," Su Yanshu said, "Don't be willful..."
"Shut up!" Yu Shengsheng interrupted him, "Shut up! You are the ones who are willful. You do whatever you want. You slander me, bully me, and treat me harshly because of Su Zhiyi. When have I ever been willful?"
"I just want Grandma Wu to be safe and live a peaceful life. I don't want any of your wealth. I just want you to let us go. Why won't you?"
Mrs. Su burst into tears: "Shengsheng..."
"Put away your tears. What's the point of crying? You have nothing to do with me except giving birth to me."
She stumbled unbearably and a hand held her.
Yu Shengsheng stared at the hand: "Let go."
Qi Mubai said in a low and hoarse voice: "Shengsheng, listen to me..."
"roll."
Qi Mubai didn't let go, but instead used more force: "Shengsheng."
Yu Shengsheng raised her eyes to look at him, her cold gaze piercing straight into his eyes.
"roll."
Jin Baobao swung his fist and hit Qi Mubai's face: "My lady said to get lost, don't you understand what I'm saying?"
Qi Mubai was knocked back a few steps and crashed into the table, his robe stained with Grandma Wu's blood.
The old lady held the beads in her hands, her eyes cold and stern: "How dare you go crazy for an old slave? Stop her, put her under house arrest, and throw her body into a mass grave!"
Yu Shengsheng gritted his teeth and said, "Who dares to do that? Unless they step over my dead body!"
