Chapter 95: Good Intentions Lead to Bad Results
"What did you say?"
Gu Yue didn't hear clearly from above, so she asked him carefully. She had just seen Su Wan and Su's mother being stopped by the playboy Wang Gongzi, and she knew that something bad was going to happen, so she sent a servant down to take the opportunity to rescue them.
As for how to say it, she didn't teach me.
The servant told him everything he had said. When Gu Yue heard it, he slammed the table in anger:
"How can you say that? Isn't this just making them hate you? You've offended Prince Wang. What if he holds a grudge against you and doesn't give in? What if he goes to the Su family and doesn't let you go?"
Gu Yue thought to herself, if she were a person like Prince Wang, she would definitely settle the score with him later.
"Miss, I didn't think that much..." The servant was so scared that he fell to his knees.
Chen Yinghong, wearing a maid's clothes and with her hair combed in a bun, stood aside and came over to talk to her:
"Miss, don't you dislike Su Wan? Why are you helping her out?"
"I was helping my adoptive mother. Su's parents treated me well, and I certainly couldn't just stand by and watch them get bullied!" Gu Yue explained as a matter of course.
"But Aunt Su is fine now. If you need to settle any scores, it's Su Wan. It's because she's so arrogant and doesn't take you seriously. It's also because the brothers in the Su family don't get close to you. You might as well just let her be Prince Wang's seventh concubine."
Chen Yinghong spoke viciously, defending Gu Yue, but after hearing what she said, Gu Yue looked at her in disbelief:
"Yinghong, how could you have such thoughts? It's true that Su Wan and I are not familiar with each other, but you can't be so vicious as to ask someone to be your concubine. Besides, if Prince Wang settles the score later, it will also implicate the other members of the Su family. My brothers won't just watch her being snatched away. There will inevitably be a dispute. Although everyone is unhappy about the swap between Su Wan and me, we can't hurt her like this!"
Gu Yue twisted her handkerchief, feeling very uneasy. After all, she used to be the heroine, so her heart was not very vicious. Or perhaps, she didn't hate Su Wan to that extent.
She was even more afraid that if things really came to that, and the Su family knew that she had good intentions but ended up doing something bad, would they still forgive her?
Chen Yinghong also realized that her true nature had been exposed and that what she said was inappropriate.
However, she was being so respectful in front of her personal maid. The Gu family treated her very politely because they knew she and Gu Yue were childhood friends. She couldn't become estranged from her because of this. What if she was driven away?
So, Chen Yinghong immediately knelt down, holding Gu Yue's arm and begging:
"Yueyue, I only said those angry words because I was standing up for you. I didn't really mean it that way."
"Okay, get up. I don't blame you!" Gu Yue pulled Chen Yinghong up.
She had a headache. Although she hated Su Wan for stealing her brothers' favor, and her last time with Su Wan was not very pleasant, she couldn't just watch Su Wan become Prince Wang's concubine.
They are all girls of normal age. When encountering such a thing, how can they think about jealousy? All they can do is sympathize.
Thinking of a person like Prince Wang and his character, she couldn't help but feel nauseous.
…
Su Wan didn't know that Gu Yue helped her out of kindness. She had never taken the initiative to snatch anything from her, and she had a clear conscience. She also had no ill intentions towards her, but she guessed that the man just now did it on purpose.
She and Su's mother left the city quickly, and Su's mother was worried all the way.
"Wanwan, if this Prince Wang is really that kind of person, what should we do if he comes to settle accounts with us?"
"Mom, he must have found out everything about our family. He'll come sooner or later, but we'll just have to fight him off. If he dares to mess around, we're not afraid!"
Su Wan was quite open-minded. At worst, he could report to the authorities. Wasn't it said that the magistrate of Qinghe County was a good official?
After listening to Su Wan's words, Su's mother became even more panicked. She always felt that someone was chasing her and kept looking back.
"Mom, don't tell Dad and my brothers when you get back, or they'll start to overthink it."
Su Wan didn't want this matter to affect them, and after knowing it, there was no point except worrying.
When the time comes, given the brothers' personalities, they must not act impulsively and make things more difficult.
Prince Wang didn't do anything, you can't just go and sue him right away.
"I know. I won't tell you."
However, Su's mother was really worried.
After walking for a long time, she took Su Wan's hand again and said solemnly:
"Don't worry, I will protect you till death!"
Hearing this, Su Wan quickly covered her mouth:
"Mom, what's the point of dying? It's not that serious, it's not that serious."
The mother and daughter spoke in low voices, so Old Hong probably couldn't hear clearly.
When they got home, the mother and daughter acted as if nothing had happened and didn't say anything.
The other people in the family didn't notice anything was wrong and just went about their business.
Apart from Su's mother's heart pounding, Su Wan really didn't take it seriously.
The Wang family mainly wanted the formula for goat milk soap. She was sure that as long as she didn't tell them, they wouldn't do anything to her.
These businessmen are all eyeing these profits, and everything else is secondary. They only come to us on their own initiative because they see the absolute profits of this goat milk soap.
…
It was late at night and all the dogs in the village had gone to sleep, but there were some rustling sounds coming from the fence of the Su family's yard.
Jiang Yu, who was sleeping, was still very alert. When he heard the noise, he opened his eyes instantly. Su Chen was sleeping next to him.
Gently tugging his sleeve, Su Chen soon woke up. Just as he was about to ask him what was wrong, Jiang Yu told him to be quiet:
"Shh, listen carefully!"
Su Chen moved his ears and heard a sound in the yard, but Xiaobai didn't react at all. Logically, it had been in the house for several days and was already familiar with the place. If something or someone entered the yard, it would howl twice. Even if there was no one, it would still hum in the yard. But tonight it was surprisingly quiet.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the two men remained inactive for the time being.
Until a few subtle footsteps were heard approaching their door, and it could be heard that the person was very cautious. If it were not for someone who practiced martial arts, they would not be able to hear it at all.
The person outside used a smoke torch to burn a hole in the oil paper on the window, and then blew the smoke inside.
Jiang Yu immediately covered his own mouth and nose, as well as Su Chen's, as soon as he smelled that little bit of scent.
This is a low-quality incense, a very common burglar trick.
Afterwards, the man went to Su Wan and Su's father and mother's room.
When Jiang Yu heard that he went to Su Wan's place, he couldn't help but get up and catch the thief.
Su Wan was sleeping soundly and had no idea that there was a thief in the house. Only halfway through her sleep did she hear a heart-wrenching scream, which scared her awake.
When Su's father and mother heard the noise, they also got up, except for the two brothers Su Yun and Su Yi who were sleeping soundly due to being drugged by the smoke.
Su Wan put on her clothes, lit the kerosene lamp and came out to see Jiang Yu and Su Chen holding down a man's hands. The man was groaning in pain.
"Shut up! If you scream again, I'll kill you!"
Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone was extremely cold and frightening, and he used more force in his hands. The man in pain forgot to cry out in pain.
