Chapter 156 My eldest daughter, Madam Du! How did you suffer so much?
After Wei Liang and Honghua left together, the room became quiet again.
Although the door was closed, Su Ying knew from the occasional pacing and whispering coming from outside that there was definitely more than one person guarding the door.
Honghua just said that if she failed to lure them here this time, she would have fallen into their hands.
Looking back now, from the moment they found Honghua unconscious in the mountains, her every move and every word had drawn attention. Especially her delicate expression, tears welling before she spoke, and those timid yet disturbing words she suddenly uttered when she and her aunt were hesitating. Wasn't that exactly what opera performers are best at?
Also, she hadn't seen Qingyun since they were dragged away from the carriage, as if he had been imprisoned in a different place from the beginning.
Su Ying only felt that Wei Liang and Honghua seemed to be partners who had worked together for many years, and their business was to train and tame decent girls and then sell them to brothels.
Of course, Lin must also be involved.
Su Ying felt extremely cold-hearted. She wondered if Su Jianrong knew about their secret dealings. He and his tea business were like a shell, covering up all these secrets.
No wonder Lin specifically asked Wei Liang to work in the accounting office. He originally thought that they just wanted to be a money-eating termite. Now that he thinks about it, they must have already mixed those dirty accounts into the tea business. Even if Su Jianrong is unaware of it, he has already been tied up in it and become the boss in public.
Su Ying was utterly disheartened by her father's misdeeds. She thought to herself, "Su Jianrong, oh Su Jianrong, even if I don't settle the score with you, if this continues, the Lin family and Wei Liang will definitely wipe you and the entire Su family out."
Not long after, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the house. Su Ying vaguely heard a woman's quarrel and cursing, but it was too noisy to hear clearly through the door.
Soon the door opened wide, and Wei Liang, with his clothes loose, pulled a richly dressed woman into the house. The woman was still yelling, and Su Ying and others looked closely and found that it was Lin.
Lin Meifen was still facing the door, her chest heaving. Just as she was about to continue, Wei Liang twisted her body, and she saw Su Ying and the others, their hands and feet trapped, sitting on the ground. The rage that was about to erupt suddenly turned into hearty laughter, filling the room with a piercing cacophony.
"Oh, my dear Miss, my dear Mrs. Du! How could you two have suffered so much?"
Wei Liang, who was standing by, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin's anger had turned into joy. He then had the leisure to tidy up his clothes and winked at the servant at the door.
Lin seemed to be very familiar with this place. Without waiting for Wei Liang to take action, she pulled a chair and sat down, looking down at Su Ying and others with a sarcastic look on her face.
"Is this the same Madam Du who asked to see my good name documents that day? Where has your arrogant attitude gone?"
Although Rong couldn't speak, seeing Lin's arrogant look, she glanced at her coldly and turned away without looking at her.
"What? At this time, you still rely on your scholarly family background to think you're superior and look down on others?"
Having said that, Lin stood up and rushed towards Su Ying and the others.
She just let out a "Pooh" sound and spat in Rong's face.
Su Ying was extremely angry, but unfortunately her hands and feet were restricted. She tried hard to move her body and wanted to stand in front of her aunt, but she was still unable to move.
Lin was still angry, but seeing that Su Ying seemed to want to protect Rong, Lin turned her anger towards Su Ying again.
"My dear Miss, you gave up being the daughter of the Su family and had to go with your aunt to make trouble for us. Now you are in trouble!"
Lin spread her hands, as if she had no choice but to do so. She shook her head and said, "Why can't you just behave yourself this time? Madam Yuan wants to see you, so why did you bring your aunt back?"
"If you become Madam Yuan, it would be such a great thing! My children would also benefit from it. Yuanbao would be admitted to your grandfather's academy, and Fubao would be able to show his face in the big family with you. What do you two, aunt and nephew, have to do with all this trouble?"
"All right, all right, Fern, calm down!"
Having miscalculated the time, thinking Lin wouldn't arrive so early, Wei Liang couldn't help but get entangled with Honghua. He actually only liked novelty, but he couldn't resist Honghua's figure and voice. Unexpectedly, the two of them were caught red-handed by Lin while they were enjoying themselves.
Knowing that he was in the wrong and fearing that Lin might accidentally hurt Honghua, he hurriedly pulled Lin into the room where Su Ying and Rong were imprisoned. After all, they still had business to do with Honghua, and it would not be a good thing if things became too awkward.
Seeing that Lin had almost vented her anger, Wei Liang pulled her back into the chair and said soothingly, "Actually, this is a good thing. At least it lets us know who is openly opposing us."
It was obvious that these words touched Lin's heart. She nods and says, "That's right!"
Then she looked at Su Ying and Rong Shi and said with a smile, "Madam Du, who has been a widow in the capital for many years, is also an expert! You have only been back in Yueqing for a few days, and you have Lord Liu from Yongjia serving you at your beck and call."
"You're quite shrewd. That day, I showed you the document, but you acted as if you didn't want to look at it. I thought you were using the document as an excuse to humiliate me in front of everyone. I never imagined that you'd memorize it all in a single glance, and then immediately had Lord Liu investigate me in Yongjia. Fortunately, Minghui and I already had our own way in Yongjia, otherwise you would have really found me!"
When Wei Liang saw Lin accidentally called out his real name, he hurriedly grabbed Lin's sleeve and told her to shut up.
Unexpectedly, Lin tutted and said, "What are you afraid of? Now that they're in our hands, there's no chance they'll escape. Over the years, have you seen anyone escape from us?"
As he spoke, his eyes stared at Rong and Su Ying as if filled with poison, and said, "Unless, you die!"
Wei Liang, formerly known as Lin Minghui, paused for a moment, then felt that what she said made sense, so he stopped hiding it.
He narrowed his eyes, assessing the people on the ground, and said slowly, "Although Rong is good-looking, she is a bit old. You can see where to assign her. Those two girls are obviously virgins. Let Honghua train them. Even if they can't be sold to Hangzhou, they can still make some money if sold somewhere else. Is it this young lady?"
When Lin heard this, she knew that he was greedy again. Thinking of the scene of him and Honghua just now, she felt angry and bitter.
Who could he blame? His habit of trying new things was actually caused by her.
What he wanted to taste the most but never got to taste was himself fifteen years ago!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have accidentally killed his brother who had sold her out in a rage. Finally, he chased the carriage that had taken him to the brothel, taking his own life, and fell off a cliff.
