Chapter 28 Mother, Don’t Go
"Xie Chen is my biological son, why can't I hit him?" Sun Panpan spat out a mouthful of blood from his mouth and stared at Su Cheng fiercely, "How can you, an irrelevant person, act so pretentiously here?"
Xie Suzhou covered his nephew's eyes with his hands and said in a low voice, "Xie Chen, what did Sun do to you?"
Xie Chen hugged his neck tightly, not daring to relax, his body trembling violently, "Second Uncle, she...she wants to send me to a eunuch's bed to gain benefits for her new husband!"
The air around them seemed to freeze. Xie Suzhou frowned, and a hint of anger instantly filled his peach blossom eyes. "Sun Panpan! How dare you..."
Seeing that the matter was completely exposed, Sun Panpan simply stopped pretending and raised her chin with a proud look, "Why shouldn't I dare? He is the flesh and blood that fell from my body, so he should do his best for me. What's wrong with what I said?"
"It's you, a bunch of country bumpkins." Sun Panpan's eyes were full of hatred. She looked coldly at Su Cheng who attacked her. "Go to the county and ask around. Who are the people in the Gao family? If you dare to be so rude to me, my husband will not let you go!"
"I don't care whether you're from a high or low family. You've broken the law, don't you understand?" Su Cheng sneered and slapped her in the face without saying a word. "You're a villain who has achieved success. No matter how powerful the old man you're with is, can he be above the law?"
Sun Panpan's eyes flashed with anger, and she yelled at the top of her voice, "Gingxing, Sushuang, are you two dead? You just watched me get beaten!"
Hearing her yelling at the top of her lungs, the two maids looked at each other and rushed towards Su Cheng.
Their indentures were all in the Gao family, and if anything happened to Aunt Sun, they would suffer as well.
"Tsk, it's really lively in here." Du Heng held a grass root in his mouth, hummed a tune with his hands behind his back, and leisurely walked into the Li family's yard. "Let me, an old man, hear who is trying to bully our Ah Cheng?"
Old man Du was very outgoing. After eating a piece of mutton pie, he called Su Cheng affectionately. If you didn’t know him, you would think that Su Cheng was really related to him.
Behind him was Village Chief Chen, who was running hurriedly.
"Xie Xiucai, why do things always happen to your family?" Village Chief Chen's face suddenly changed when he saw Sun Panpan being beaten like this. "Hey, why are you still beating people!"
"Who hit her? How come I didn't see it?" Seeing someone approaching, Du Heng calmly withdrew his hand from his sleeve and pushed the poison powder hidden in his sleeve back. "Look carefully, the wound on her face is clearly caused by her own fall."
Su Cheng stood up and wiped his hands with his sleeves, with a look of disgust on his face, "I even dirty my hands by beating her."
Sun Panpan dragged herself backwards, her eyes dazzled and her face burning with pain. "Village Chief Chen, they ganged up on me. They're so... so audacious!"
Su Cheng glared at her coldly, and said with a soft pout, "You'd better save your energy, or you'll end up crying in front of the newly appointed county magistrate."
"Xie Xiucai, Sun has married into the Gao family!" Village Chief Chen stamped his feet anxiously and sighed, "Do you know the Gao family? It's the Gao family in the county!"
"Marry?" Xie Suzhou sneered, his eyes full of mockery. "She climbed into someone else's bed and got pregnant before divorcing my eldest brother. The Gao family covered her head and carried her in through the small door. Can you even call that a marriage?"
Village Chief Chen was furious and glanced at Su Cheng angrily, "No matter how she got in, she is now the most beloved concubine of Master Gao. Your sister-in-law dared to use such a harsh hand. No wonder everyone in the village calls her a shrew!"
"Hey, you old man!" Du Heng couldn't stand it any longer and questioned, hands on his hips, "Why are you still such a snob?"
Village chief Chen pursed his lips and didn't respond.
"Let's put it this way. The person who made the mistake deserves to be punished." Xie Suzhou's face darkened, his eyes cold. "Village Chief Chen, my sister-in-law didn't do anything wrong. My fourth brother has already reported the matter to the police. We'll know who's right and who's wrong later."
"What? Xie Ming went to report to the police!" Village Chief Chen looked a little embarrassed, his face extremely bad. "According to the rules, you should come to me first. You stepped over me and went straight to the police. Do you take me, the village chief, seriously?"
"Is it any use looking for you?" Su Cheng glanced at him calmly, not disguising the sarcasm in his eyes. "You tend to favor those close to you. I don't ask you to treat both equally, but you can't throw away one, right? Instead of wasting time on you, it's better to cut the Gordian knot and solve it yourself."
"You! How dare you talk to me like that?" Village Chief Chen's face flushed with anger. He subconsciously looked at Xie Suzhou and asked loudly, "Xie Xiucai, she..."
Xie Suzhou's eyebrows were cold and his expression was distant. He didn't even look at him. "What's wrong with what my sister-in-law said?"
"you……"
"Xie Xiucai, Madam, are you the one who asked this young man to report to the authorities?"
Just as Village Chief Chen was about to explode, he heard the voice of the police outside the door.
Su Cheng looked in the direction of the sound, and wow, it was those three old acquaintances again.
"You've arrived just in time!" Sun Panpan was helped up by two maids. Her clothes were disheveled and one of the hairpins on her head was missing. "Quickly arrest these two! I wanted to take my child away, but they didn't agree, so they beat me up!"
The officer was stunned and glanced at Sun Panpan with a puzzled look, "Are you crazy? Mr. Xie is a man of great wisdom, and the young lady is gentle and decent. How could such two people lay hands on you? Who do you think you are?"
"How dare you!" Ginkgo said angrily, "Our master is Aunt Sun from the Gao family in Ganping County. How could you be so rude?"
"What Gao family? I've never heard of them." The officer scratched his ears, pretending he couldn't hear anything. "Xie Xiaobrother, we're suing you for kidnapping a boy. Come with us."
Sun Panpan panicked and shouted, "This is ridiculous! I kidnapped my own son!"
"Stop talking nonsense and take her away!" The leading officer waved his hand, and the two brothers behind him stepped forward quickly. One of them clamped one of Sun Panpan's arms and escorted her out.
"Bitch! You bitch!" Sun Panpan glared at Su Cheng, staring at him intently, and cursed him with dirty words, "Xie Chen! You unfilial bastard, your father died and you still have to watch them bully your mother..."
Xie Suzhou raised his hands to cover his ears, his face gloomy.
"This..." Seeing that the three officers were not only polite to Su Cheng and Xie Suzhou, but even took Sun Panpan away alone, Village Chief Chen could not hide his shock and muttered, "How could this happen..."
Su Cheng glanced at him, a mocking arc appeared on the corner of his lips, and turned to leave the Li family yard.
Xie Suzhou followed closely behind, and only Du Heng and the confused-looking village chief Chen were left in the small yard.
"Hmph, old bastard." Du Heng cursed inwardly, pinched out a small piece of silver from his waist pouch, and threw it at him, "Give them the money to repair the gate of the Li family, don't blackmail us."
After saying this, he also walked towards the Xie family.
Xie Suzhou carried Xie Chen into his room and gently placed him on the bed. He lowered his eyes and saw that his face was pale, as if he was frightened. The words of accusation were stuck in his lips and he couldn't say them.
"Let him be alone." Su Cheng winked at him and said softly, "Anyone would feel uncomfortable after something like this, let alone a child."
Xie Suzhou nodded slightly and stood side by side with her. Just as he was about to walk out, the little guy behind him suddenly reacted.
Xie Chen reached out and grabbed Su Cheng's little finger, holding it tightly in his palm. Tears fell as he tilted his head back, and even his voice was trembling, "Mom, don't go... I'm scared..."
