Wang Pei's sobs stopped abruptly as she stared blankly at the girl approaching.
She was tall and slender with a fair complexion. Her black hair was tied up with a bamboo hairpin. She walked with her back straight, and the hem of her sky-blue skirt fluttered gracefully in the air. She seemed to be shining from head to toe.
If it weren't for those clear, almond-shaped eyes that remained unchanged.
She probably wouldn't even recognize that this was the mentally challenged girl from the Su family!
The old man and his son had mentioned it a few days ago, saying that Su Hua had changed a lot after she stopped being stupid. She didn't think much of it at the time, but she never expected that a person could change so much in such a short period of time.
At the beginning of the year, the three Su brothers brought her to visit relatives at Old Wang's house for the New Year. She was still a dark-skinned bear.
But now, only three months later, he seems like a completely different person.
Her overall demeanor was in no way inferior to that of the young ladies from wealthy families in Qingshui County!
When Yu Yu saw Su Hua and Xiao Jinhan walking side by side, she quickly got up from her chair.
Wang Pei wiped away her tears and ran towards the girl, but after taking only two steps, the rope tied to her feet tightened, and she fell flat on her face due to inertia.
"Ouch, that hurts! It hurts so much, it's killing me!"
She collapsed to the ground, screaming in pain.
But she still reached out her hands to grab Su Hua, saying, "Hua girl, come quickly! Help your auntie out of here! I don't want to stay in this awful place anymore!"
Su Hua lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze drifting lightly to the hands that were flailing about in front of her.
Seeing that she couldn't reach it, he thoughtfully squatted down.
His line of sight was level with hers.
Seeing this, Wang Peishi quickly grabbed Su Hua, crying and pleading, "Hua'er, please save your aunt! Untie the ropes binding your aunt's feet! And your uncle and brother-in-law are both unconscious right now, please save them..."
"Ha! Save you?"
Su Hua smiled.
He slowly pulled a small knife from his sleeve.
The blade was snow-white, reflecting a chilling light in the sunlight.
As Wang Pei watched her take out the knife, she subconsciously positioned her feet to make it easier for Su Hua to cut the knot in the hemp rope. But just as she positioned herself, she heard the girl's clear, calm voice ring out again, "Why should I save you?"
"Wh-what?" The old woman was taken aback.
I thought I had misheard.
He then smirked at Su Hua, pointing to the hemp rope on her feet, "Hua'er, quickly help your aunt cut this rope. Don't you love snacks the most? When we get back later, I'll let your older sister..."
She paused abruptly as she spoke.
His head, which had been held high, unconsciously lowered a few degrees.
"What do you want my sister to do...? Why did you stop talking? Hmm?" Su Hua looked at her expression, the corners of her mouth curving even deeper, and gently turned the person in her arms around.
Wang Peishi intended to find some excuse to gloss over the matter.
He looked up and saw the pale, bloodless face in Su Hua's arms.
His eyes narrowed sharply, and he jumped up from the ground, screaming, "Ahhhhhh! A ghost!! A ghost!! A ghost!! Go away, go away... Ghost, go away, ahh ...
Pulled by the rope beneath her feet, she barely rose half an inch off the ground before tumbling down again.
But this time, when she fell, she didn't even bother to cry out in pain.
He just kept yelling "Ghost!"
The old woman's wailing finally woke up the unconscious old man Wang and the young male prostitute from the Nanfeng Pavilion. Only Wang Chunfu remained sprawled on the ground, motionless.
The young male prostitute was only wearing a rose-red coat.
Upon suddenly seeing a large group of unfamiliar men and women in front of her, she was immediately terrified.
He hurriedly used his coat to cover his body.
Old Wang stared at Su Hua with his cloudy eyes for a long time, then looked at Su Sui in her arms before reaching out to pull his wife aside.
After trying to budge her for a while without success, I slapped her across the face.
Snap!
"Enough! She's not dead at all, she's not a ghost!"
Wang Pei was dizzy from the beating, but she calmed down and exclaimed, "Not dead? Really not dead?!"
She looked at Su Sui with a mixture of surprise and fear.
Only when I could clearly see the rise and fall of his chest did my heart, filled with fear and trepidation, finally calm down a little.
However, before she could catch her breath, she felt a chill on her hand.
Looking down, she saw Su Hua holding a small knife and gesturing back and forth on her wrist, the sharp blade slowly cutting across her skin, as if it would cut her hand off at any moment.
"Hua'er, what are you doing?" Wang Pei swallowed hard, her tongue trembling slightly. "This knife isn't something you can just take out and play with. Take it away quickly."
His subordinates hurriedly began to retrieve the items.
Even with all her might, she couldn't loosen her wrist by the slightest bit.
She was still firmly held in Su Hua's grasp.
The girl looked up, glanced at her quietly, and said in a very calm voice, "When you pushed my sister into the room just now, which hand did you use? Was it your left or right hand? Or did you use both?"
I'm not very patient, so I'll only ask this once.
With each sentence, he would make a gesture with the tip of his knife against Wang Peishi's wrist.
Sometimes, if you use a little too much force, a bright red bloodstain will appear on your wrist.
In the blink of an eye, the woman's well-maintained hands were stained with blood.
Seeing the cold smile on the girl's face, Wang Pei guessed that she probably knew about what happened at noon. Ignoring the pain in her hand, she kept explaining, "Hua'er, none of this...it has nothing to do with your aunt. Your aunt knows nothing about it. Please let your aunt go, and we can go home and talk about this properly, okay..."
