She wasn't afraid of Su Yu'e at this moment, since Su Yu'e was most afraid of that matter.
Su Yu'e gritted her teeth, hating Lian Shi and Liu Shi to the core, but she was powerless against them. She gritted her teeth and turned back to her own courtyard. She didn't even dare to tell anyone now, and could only curse in her heart, cursing Lian Shi and Liu Shi to have great misfortune and get seriously ill.
When she gets the chance, she will definitely make sure they die without a burial place.
Lian and Liu left safely. They looked at each other and became even more convinced that they had made the right decision.
They can still steal money now, but what about later?
As planned, the two went out of the city to the temple, where the driver waited outside.
After entering the temple, Liu said nervously, "Sister, how about we ask for a peace charm?"
Liu wanted to ask for a peace charm and draw lots to see if her decision was correct.
Lian knew exactly what Liu was thinking, so she grabbed Liu's hand and said, "Sister, there's no turning back now, just keep moving forward."
How could there be no risk in this? People who hesitate and look back will always encounter setbacks, and she didn't want that.
Seeing that Lian was determined, Liu felt timid and had no choice but to suppress her unease and leave with Lian from behind the temple.
They boarded the carriage that had been arranged in advance to pick them up, and the carriage sped off, taking them away from Liuzhou City completely...
At noon, I was eating in a small town.
After eating, you need to change to a horse-drawn carriage to continue your journey.
Liu looked at Lian, whose expression was indifferent. She smiled at Liu and said, "Sister, let's part ways here. People's hearts are unpredictable. If we stay together, and you were doing better than me in the past, I'm afraid I would become jealous and ruin you."
Liu was shocked: "We are sisters, how could you do this to me?"
Liu was unsure, but upon reflection, she realized that Lian's words made sense.
Lian has always been more quick-witted than her, so it's possible that she said something like that.
Just thinking about separating made Liu feel sad. Now she would really be all alone, with no one to talk to. She felt extremely panicked.
"Sister, life is unpredictable."
Lian didn't explain much, but simply smiled and summarized it in a few words.
Liu sighed, and finally looked at Lian and asked, "Sister, this parting may be our last in this life. Do you have anything to say to me? I am not as quick-witted as you. The world is treacherous, and people's hearts are unpredictable..."
Lian held Liu's hand, her expression serious. She leaned close to Liu's ear and said, "Sister, money is freedom. Always hold onto it. Don't let anyone know your background. We are sisters, and this is my last piece of advice to you. No matter how you are doing in the past, never mention it again... Remember, you are an orphan who was sold by your parents and ran away on your own."
This was an identity that had been agreed upon long ago. Lian simply told Liu to keep it in mind. Her most important advice to Liu was that she should keep the money in her own hands.
As long as Liu does this, she can live a peaceful life. The money she stole from the Su family is enough for them to live an ordinary and stable life.
Seeing Lian's unwavering resolve, Liu felt both admiration and respect. With tears in her eyes, she nodded and said, "Thank you, sister. I will remember this. I wish you all the best in the future."
Lian smiled. They were only in their early twenties, and they still had most of their lives to live.
"I also wish my sister all the best, peace and joy."
Lian hugged Liu and then got into the carriage.
This time, she and Liu were not on the same train. After leaving the town, Lian chose to head west, while Liu chose to head south. They chose different directions and went further and further apart.
...
It got dark.
A carriage stopped in front of the Su residence, and the driver and servant hurriedly went inside.
The Su family is having dinner right now.
Old Madam Yang's face was stern: "What a lack of manners! It's so late and you're still not back. When you get back, I'll definitely teach you some manners. What kind of behavior is it for a woman to stay out after dark!"
"It's all because you allowed them to do that business. In my opinion, you shouldn't have allowed it. What will people think if word got out? I'll tell them to stop doing that lousy business. They don't even make a penny, and they've only ruined their reputation."
Old Su's cold and somber speech.
Old Mrs. Yang was speechless for a moment, then lowered her eyes and stammered, "I understand."
Remembering that her daughter had also received a share of the money, Old Madam Yang looked at Su Yu'e and asked, "Yu'e, how much money have your eldest and second sisters-in-law given you recently?"
Su Yu'e's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth!
Thinking of Liu and Lian's hateful deeds, she dared not expose them. However, her parents no longer wanted them to do business. Su Yu'e pouted and said, "Give me about ten taels. They said there was no profit. Since the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, my parents told them to stop. My parents are not in good health, so they should stay at home and take good care of their parents!"
Once they can no longer do business, they will have no chance to go out and have fun.
They said they were going to burn incense and pray for blessings before checking on the shop's business, but that's all a lie. They clearly went out to have fun!
But she couldn't talk about such dirty things; she could only keep them a secret.
She won't say anything about this, but she will definitely not let any opportunity pass by to get Liu and Lian punished.
"If that's all, then when they come back, make them close their shops so they don't embarrass themselves in public."
Su Changshui chimed in, saying that if you're only making this much money, you might as well not do it at all.
"They don't need to show their faces in public at home."
Su Chang'an had nothing to say about this; if he were in their shoes, he wouldn't have agreed to them opening a shop.
"My lord...; Master and Madam, Third Master...something terrible has happened..."
The coachman and servant knelt down as soon as they entered, and said in a trembling voice.
"What a piece of trash! Can't you even speak properly?!"
Su Changshui was furious when he heard this. What did he mean by "something big has happened"? He felt uncomfortable and unlucky from the tone.
"What is it?"
Su Chang'an frowned and asked coldly.
Old Madam Yang muttered, "These servants have no sense of propriety and need to be properly disciplined..."
The whole family was very unhappy.
The coachman and his servant were terrified. They exchanged a glance and lowered their heads even further.
"Second Madam, and Third Madam... ran away, they've disappeared..."
The servant wanted to say that the two ladies had run away, but he realized it was inappropriate and immediately changed his words.
But the Su family all understood.
Su Changshui slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Have you searched everywhere? Didn't they go to the shop? Have you looked everywhere?"
"Third Master... we've searched everywhere, but that shop doesn't belong to the Second Madam or the Third Madam at all..."
The servant spoke even more softly.
Su Yu'e suddenly shouted, "Third Brother, where did you put your money?"
Su Yu'e finally understood that when she met Liu and Lian in the morning, they were planning to run away. When did they plan this? Yet no one noticed!
