Chapter 167: Seeing the Jade Pendant (Part 1)



If the younger Su family loses their patience and spreads the matter, they are not afraid. After all, Grandpa Su has already "informed" the head of the village, and the head of the village will come forward to explain to them that the jade pendant belongs to the older Su family.

Mr. Su still has his prestige and credibility, so it is not difficult for him to gain the trust of the village head.

What's more, the head of the village favors the Su family, not Su Yu Niang.

In order not to arouse the subconscious opposition in the head of the village, Mr. Su did not say a word against the Su family.

The two came to Xiao Su's house.

Seeing Su Can and Su Erlang were also there, the village head frowned.

Old Master Su took in the look on the head of the village. His face turned cold and he said to Su Can and his son, "Why are you two here instead of staying at home?"

Su Can turned around and said to Old Master Su, "Dad, Yu Niang took the jade pendant. I'm going to ask Yu Niang to return it!"

Mr. Su said sternly, "Didn't I tell you not to show off?"

Su Can shrank his neck and said, "We didn't make it public. Some villagers came over just now and I chased them away."

Mr. Su said coldly: "Everyone, get out of here!"

"father--"

"grandfather--"

"My words are useless, right?"

The atmosphere was very awkward for a while.

Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Why bother, old man? One is playing the villain and the other is playing the bad guy. Who are you performing for?"

Old Master Su said, "Su Daya, this is our Su family's family affair and has nothing to do with you. We misunderstood you last time, and it was our fault. If you still have complaints, I will let you scold me. But please stay away from today's matter."

The words were flawless, appealing to both emotion and reason. If Su Xiaoxiao hadn't known what tricks they were playing, she would have believed them.

"Girl, is someone here to cause trouble again?" Su Cheng walked over with a knife in his hand.

When Su Can saw Su Cheng's butcher knife, his eyelids jumped and he subconsciously wanted to run.

Su Cheng frowned impatiently: "Why are you here again? Are you, the Su family, trying to blackmail us?"

The village head tried to smooth things over: "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Su Cheng, put down the knife first, and let's talk it over."

Su Cheng asked Su Xiaoxiao: "Girl, do you want to tell them?"

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Dad, I never told you about the jade pendant. It was your jade pendant that the Su family pawned."

Su Cheng's eyes widened: "What?"

Su Erlang scolded: "Su Fatty, stop talking nonsense! Do you have any evidence?"

Su Yu Niang stepped forward and said, "I can testify! My grandfather admitted it himself. The jade pendant was obtained from Uncle Su."

Mr. Su’s original words were - Su Cheng fell down and they picked him up.

Su Yu Niang refused to say so.

Su Yu Niang said, "Village head, don't be fooled by them. The jade pendant belongs to Uncle Su! They are crying thief! None of the men in this family are good!"

This was a very outrageous remark. Su Pangya could curse like that, and Su Cheng could also curse like that, but as the daughter of the old Su family, Su Yu Niang would be struck by lightning if she cursed the elders in the family.

The people in the Su family were very angry.

I know Su Yu Niang is rebellious, but I don't know she is willing to sacrifice so much for the Su family.

Wasn't she afraid that they wouldn't allow her to move her household registration? Or was it that in her heart, the reputation of the Su family was more important than her own second half of life? How selfish was Su Yu Niang! Otherwise, she wouldn't have tried to snatch Xiao Zhao's midwife.

The village head's focus was not on Su Yu Niang's disrespect. He wondered, "Whose jade pendant is it?"

"Of course it's our Su family's!" Su Can said, "Hurry up and return the other piece!"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled coldly: "You old Su family are really shameless."

Su Cheng frowned and said, "How did my own jade pendant become yours?"

"Dad, let me tell you."

Su Xiaoxiao stood up and gave the old Su family an amused look.

"If I were you, I would not say that the jade pendant was taken away by Yu Niang. I would say, 'The jade pendants come in pairs, and there are two pieces in total. Back then, our Su family sold one of the jade pendants, and the other one was unfortunately lost. We searched for a long time and couldn't find it. We thought we would never find it again in this lifetime, until not long ago, when Su Daya came to our house and accidentally dropped a jade pendant. I realized that it might be the heirloom we lost that year. Today, Yu Niang came back to discuss the transfer of household registration. I told Yu Niang that it was okay to transfer the household registration, but you have to answer me a question honestly first, where did the jade pendant of the little Su family come from. Yu Niang said that Su Cheng picked it up when he was a child, and I became more and more certain that I was not wrong. That jade pendant was the one that our old Su family lost!'"

The three generations of the Su family, including the grandparents and grandchildren, were all stunned, and each of them felt as if something had suddenly dawned on them.

Su Erlang clenched his fists.

Damn it, why didn't he think of it! Su Can whispered: "Dad, her method seems to be better than ours..."

Old Master Su glared at Su Can fiercely.

Su Yu Niang burst out laughing.

Su Can shouted in a bluffing manner: "What are you laughing at!"

Su Yu Niang gloated and said, "I laugh at you all combined, but you are not as smart as Daya alone. Did you forget to bring your brain when you went out to hurt others?"

"Su, Yu, mother!" Su Can slapped her in the face.

Bang! It was Su Cheng who slapped him in the face.

Su Can didn't touch Su Yu Niang at all, but instead fell to the ground and lost a front tooth.

"Dad!" Su Erlang hurriedly helped Su Can up, "Don't go too far, little Su family!"

Su Cheng carried the butcher knife on his shoulder: "Is this too much? I haven't even started yet."

Su Erlang gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone in the village knows that the jade pendant belongs to our Su family! No matter how wonderful your story is, no one will believe you!"

Erlang was right. No matter what the truth was, the Su family could not prove that the jade pendant was theirs.

As long as there is no way to prove it, the villagers won't believe it! Su Yu Niang frowned.

She didn't publicize the matter immediately because there was not enough evidence -

It’s all over now. The old Su family made a big fuss first, and the situation is now unfavorable for the young Su family.

Just at this moment, a carriage stopped at the door of Xiao Su's house.

Su Yuan picked up the little charlatan Erhu.

"Don't run out alone again, okay?"

"You really don't want to touch it?" Erhu, the little charlatan, persevered in promoting his lucky stone.

Su Yuan made him laugh.

A big one and a small one entered the house.

There was a weird atmosphere in the room.

Erhu is already very familiar with the people in the Su family. Every time this group of people comes to the house, they slander his mother. Erhu has already labeled them as bad guys in his mind!

"Don't bully my mother!" Erhu ran over and stood in front of Su Xiaoxiao stubbornly with his small body.

Among the three little ones, Da Hu is the bravest, Xiao Hu is also fierce, and Er Hu is relatively gentle, but when his brothers are not around, he takes on the responsibility of protecting his mother! Su Yuan asked, "Miss Su, what happened?"

The eyes of the three generations of the Su family, grandparents and grandchildren, fell on Su Yuan.

Su Yuan was the eldest son of a noble family in the capital. No matter how ordinary his clothes were, they were made of the finest materials.

After the Su family became prosperous, they made friends with many wealthy families, which was really enviable! However, the people who made friends with the Su family were generally merchants. Thinking of this, the people of the old Su family did not take Su Yuan too seriously.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Oh, this group of people want to steal my jade pendant."

Su Erlang said coldly: "Who robbed yours? It's obvious that you robbed ours! Why don't you return the jade pendant quickly!"

"What jade pendant?" Su Yuan asked.

Su Xiaoxiao took off the jade pendant from her neck: "Here, this is it."

Mr. Su's eyes moved.

Su Erlang glanced at Old Master Su and said, understandingly, "My jade pendant is really in your hands! Su Yu Niang! You are such a traitor! You gave our Su family's heirloom as a gift to others! You are so eager to please the young Su family! You are so disappointing!"

It's extremely shameless to put the blame on someone without any hesitation.

Su Yu Niang was so angry that she almost tried to snatch the machete from Su Cheng's hand.

"You just said that this jade pendant belongs to your family?"

It was Su Yuan who spoke.

Su Erlang, who was asked by him, said seriously: "Yes! This master, although I don't know where you are from, if you want to discuss cooperation with the Su family, I advise you not to do business with such a person with bad intentions! Otherwise, you will lose all your money in the end, and it will be too late to regret it!"

Su Yuan stared at the jade pendant intently. His reaction, in Su Erlang's eyes, showed his shock and disappointment towards the Su family.

Su Erlang struck while the iron was hot: "You may not know, but this jade pendant originally came in pairs. Thirty years ago, there was a famine in Qingzhou. In order to prevent everyone from starving to death, my great grandfather sold one of the jade pendants and exchanged it for food for the whole village—"

Su Yu Niang cursed: "Bullshit! Su Erlang, do you know anything about jade? Do you know how valuable this jade pendant is? Did the Su family have a general or a prime minister? How could they have such an heirloom?"

Su Erlang pointed at Su Cheng and said, "We can't, but he can?"

Su Yu Niang choked.

Su Yuan opened his mouth: "Can you let me...see it?"

Su Xiaoxiao gave him the jade pendant.

Su Yuan's hand trembled a little as he took the jade pendant.

Su Yuan looked at the three generations of grandparents with a cold expression: "Where did you get the jade pendant you sold?"

Su Erlang said: "It's a family heirloom!"

Su Yuan said in a deep voice: "What nonsense!"

Su Erlang was shocked by Su Yuan's sudden burst of momentum.

He calmed down and asked strangely, "Who are you? An accomplice hired by the Su family, right? It's not your turn to speak here! Return the jade pendant to us quickly! Otherwise, you will be sent to see the official!"

"How dare you!" Zheng Guang walked in. "You dare to be rude to my prince? You must be tired of living!"

Su Can was confused: "What persimmon?"

Zheng Guangdao: "Listen carefully, my master is the son of the Marquis of Chengbei in the capital - Su Yuan!"

The princes from the capital?

Mr. Su's expression changed suddenly!

I saw many readers leave comments saying that it won’t come to light so soon, there must be some twists and turns.

I just...

Um..

Have you not gotten used to my pace yet?   It’s always been the high-speed train…
