With Su Yu'e's reminder, Su Changshui didn't bother to ask any more questions and immediately ran out.
Su Changsheng hadn't arrived home yet, so naturally he couldn't see it.
The whole family was on edge and followed Su Changshui.
But Su Changshui returned to the courtyard and searched everywhere, and soon began to fly into a rage: "You bitch, you bitch!"
The place where he hid the money was now empty; the money box was long gone.
He thought that Lian Shi didn't know anything at all, but he didn't expect that she had known all along and that she took all the money he had hidden with her when she ran away!
"What time did they leave?"
Su Chang'an's face was gloomy. The series of misfortunes in his family made him uneasy.
"The two ladies are Qing, and after breakfast early this morning... around 7:45 AM..."
The driver answered tremblingly, "It's almost past dusk..."
This means that several hours have passed, and it also means that they are at least a hundred miles away.
They didn't know which direction they would go, which meant that finding them was like looking for a needle in a haystack...
"Useless trash! You ran away a long time ago, why are you only reporting now! Tell me, were you bribed by them?"
Su Changshui lost all his possessions, feeling like a snake whose tendons had been pulled out. The thought that Lian Shi had long since fled filled him with hatred.
"Third Master, you're innocent..."
The servant and the coachman cried out for justice together.
"Third Master, Second Madam and Third Madam never ask us to follow them when they go out, and they don't allow us to go into the shops either. I'm just following orders."
The servant cried and wailed, saying that although Liu and Lian would give them money for tea every time, it was definitely not enough to bribe them.
They were content with their leisurely life, but who knew that the two ladies might abandon their comfortable and wealthy existence and run away?
"We waited outside the temple for a long time but the two ladies didn't come out, so we mustered up the courage to go into the temple to inquire. We learned that a monk had seen the two ladies leave through the back door... We thought the two ladies had returned, so we went back to look for the shops they had visited, only to find out that the shops had never belonged to them..."
The servant spoke softer and softer.
That's how it happened. Nobody knows how long Liu and Lian had been planning this, but they ran away.
"Damn bitches, Chang'an, you must bring them back! Once you bring them back, you must make them suffer the most!"
Old Yang spoke through gritted teeth, her heart filled with resentment towards Liu and Lian. How could they be so audacious!
How despicable! How hateful!
Having lost all his possessions, Su Changshui was filled with resentment and looked at Su Chang'an fiercely, saying, "Brother, you have to take responsibility for this."
Su Chang'an frowned: "Don't be unreasonable. If you treated her better, would she have left?"
He was already annoyed enough and didn't have time to deal with Su Changshui's unreasonable behavior.
Su Changshui looked at Su Chang'an with resentment in his eyes: "What do you mean I'm being unreasonable? If you hadn't refused to send that jinx away, this whole thing would never have happened!"
"With her around, nothing good will ever happen in our family again."
That's what Su Changshui thought, and that's what he believed in his heart.
Su Chang'an felt a headache coming on when he heard about his extreme ideas.
"Second brother should arrive tomorrow, right? You wouldn't let me see the letter you sent back, so it probably isn't good news. If second brother comes back and finds that second sister-in-law has run away, do you think he can be magnanimous?"
“We’re not like you, the Marquis of Anping, who’s all the high and mighty, married to a woman from a prestigious family, and whose every word is obeyed by you. And what’s the result? Now you think it has nothing to do with you and that I’m being unreasonable?”
Su Changshui's questions were all reasonable, because he had long harbored resentment and dissatisfaction towards Su Chang'an.
Su Chang'an spoke with a cold expression: "Third brother, there is no point in blaming each other at this time. No matter what happens, as long as I am still the Marquis of Anping, our family will not be in bad shape."
Asking him to send the child away is absolutely impossible.
"Take it or leave it. If you're capable, then keep going. I'm not going to waste my time with you. When my second brother comes back, we'll divide the family property."
After saying that, Su Changshui turned and left.
Su Chang'an stared intently at Su Changshui's retreating figure.
Brothers turned into enemies; at this moment, he was racking his brains over these few words.
Old Mrs. Yang kept muttering curses under her breath.
Su Chang'an turned and left silently.
Su Yu'e also left in a daze.
If Liu and Lian leave and cannot be brought back, it means the family's money will be much, much less.
If they are caught, they will definitely do everything they can to spread their secrets before they die.
Su Yu'e felt as if the sky had fallen. Staying in this home made her increasingly uneasy. She wished she could marry into the Li family soon...
The thought popped into my head and I couldn't suppress it no matter what.
After everyone left, Old Man Su said to Old Madam Yang in a gloomy tone, "Look at your mean and vicious appearance, you've ruined this family."
When Old Yang met Old Man Su's gloomy gaze, she shuddered and pleaded, "Old man, I don't have many years left to live..."
Old Su's eyes turned ruthless: "You can't take that girl's words seriously. If she's alive, she's alive; if she's dead, she's dead."
Until one takes their last breath, nothing is certain.
Besides, he was her everything; she could do whatever she wanted.
You can't hit your son or scold your daughter, and the servants in the household only have contracts for a few years. Only when it comes to your wife, you don't have to pay any price.
...
Su Chang'an was going to the government to deal with this matter. He wanted to make Liu and Lian wanted criminals and send them to various places, hoping that they could be brought back.
He was greeted by Jiang Xun again.
Su Chang'an frowned: "Young Master Jiang, Lord Xiao..."
Jiang Xun spoke politely: "Lord Su, Lord Xiao is ill with a cold, so I am acting as his representative. Lord Xiao takes your matter very seriously, and I will do my best to investigate it."
Su Chang'an was dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do but tell Jiang Xun everything.
Jiang Xun was very cautious in his work. He personally made a record of the case and summoned a painter to paint a portrait.
What do Liu and Lian look like?
This really stumped Su Chang'an. Neither of them were beauties, and he had rarely been home in recent years. Besides, they were his younger brother's wives, so he couldn't possibly take a second look at them.
His vague impression was also very unclear, so he could only describe it in a rough way.
Nose? Not too high, not too low.
Eyes? Not very big.
Face? She seems a little chubby.
The painter drew two portraits and showed them to Su Chang'an. Su Chang'an frowned as soon as he saw them: "They don't resemble each other at all!"
The painter frowned: "This is all drawn according to what the Marquis said. The eyes are not big, but that's normal for eyes. The Marquis can't remember the shape. The nose is neither high nor low, and that's normal for the face. It's a bit chubby!"
Jiang Xun looked up at the wooden beam above his head before speaking calmly, "I suppose the Marquis is not familiar with the Liu and Lian families. Why don't I accompany the Marquis to the mansion and ask the others, so that the painter can draw out what each person says?"
