The results of the investigation were beyond Su Wangshi's expectation. She had thought that Han Zeyu might have someone in love, perhaps a childhood playmate, or a neighboring brother. At the very least, didn't their Yunshan Village still have a young scholar?
There are all kinds of birds in the forest, and Han Zeyu is one of the most outstanding ones.
It's rare to find a guy who wants to start a family, but it's even rarer to find a guy who wants to get married and have children. What on earth is wrong with his brain? He can actually think of such a heaven-defying path.
Although this person is not very smart, he has never done anything out of line, so at least his reputation is intact.
A guy like this is a perfect match for a love-brained person like Su Shien. The two of them can study love affairs together, saving her the trouble.
Su Shien didn't go to the academy to study these days, but concentrated on healing the injuries on his face at home. Although he said he was injured, the swelling actually went away the next day, so there was no problem for him to go out.
Mrs. Su Wang thought that he might really be trapped. After hearing the servants' report, Su Shien moved the portrait to his bedroom and stared at it in a daze as soon as he opened his eyes.
When it was time to eat, he would ask the servants to bring the food to his bedroom, and he would guard the painting, as if the person in the painting would walk out if he kept guarding it.
Su Yunzhu also heard about this matter. She couldn't resist her curiosity and sent someone to steal the painting. She wanted to see what kind of beauty could make Young Master Su so bewitched like a fool.
The plan was good. They stole the painting while Su Shien was asleep, and then had someone secretly hang it back after she looked at it.
But plans cannot keep up with changes. When a little girl tiptoed to take down the painting and rolled it up and was about to leave the bedroom, Su Shien happened to wake up.
The next step was to catch the thief who broke into the house. When the lights were turned on, it turned out to be a familiar face. This person was none other than the maid in Su Yunzhu's courtyard!
Su Shien was furious and ordered his men to take the maid with them and go to Su Yunzhu's yard to demand an explanation.
The servants were all smart and knew that in this family, the eldest young master would never be the favored one, so they tried to hide as much as possible and cower as much as possible. It was better to be scolded by the eldest young master now than to be bullied by Miss Yunzhu in the future.
The opportunistic nature of these slaves further intensified the conflict. Su Shien aggressively questioned Su Yunzhu, asking if she was the one who asked someone to steal the painting?
Su Yunzhu naturally refused to admit that she, the legitimate daughter of the Su family, was actually pointed at and scolded by a bastard in the middle of the night. Miss Yunzhu, who had never suffered such grievances since childhood, completely exploded.
"Who the hell are you? How dare you point your finger at me and curse me? Who gave you the guts?"
"What's with that attitude? I'm your eldest brother. It's not that you don't understand that an elder brother is like a father, but I think you just don't want to understand."
"What kind of big brother are you? Just because you're called Young Master, you think you're such a big shot. How dare you break into my yard at night? I'll definitely file a complaint against you in front of my father!"
"Don't use your father to pressure me. He's not at home. You're just relying on your mother's love for you. Otherwise, with your outspoken nature, you would have brought disaster to the family long ago."
"Ahhh! Shut up!"
"Why should I keep quiet? You're allowed to do those sneaky things, but you don't allow others to seek justice?"
The topic returned to stealing. Su Yunzhu couldn't stand it anymore and in desperation she started to fight with Su Shien.
Su Shien was also very angry and started a self-defense counterattack.
Su Wangshi was awakened by the head maid. She listened to her report in a daze, always feeling that she might not have woken up yet.
What had she heard? The Su family's eldest son and the eldest daughter were fighting, and the servants couldn't stop them, and several people had been accidentally injured.
Su Wangshi could recognize these characters individually, but why did they look so bizarre when put together?
After putting on a cloak and leaving the main courtyard, he saw two people tumbling into a ball before he had gone far.
They were really fighting with fists and feet, neither side gave in, cloth shoes and lanterns were scattered on the ground, hair and cloth were flying everywhere. Su Wangshi simply couldn't bear to look at the scene in front of her, and scolded the servants beside her, "Why don't you separate them quickly?"
This time she finally understood how the people who were trying to stop the fight were accidentally injured. The servants were afraid of hurting their masters, but the masters didn't care about their lives at all, especially Su Yunzhu. No matter who it was, they would beat him.
After the two were separated, Su Wangshi saw their appearance clearly and suddenly felt a pang in her heart. She really wanted to roll her eyes and faint.
Su Yunzhu looked like a madman with disheveled hair, but he was actually not injured. On the other hand, Su Shien's neck was covered in blood and scratches.
Looking at Su Yunzhu's broken nails, there were bloodstains. It was obvious that she was not injured herself, but the blood of Su Shien and the servants who were scratched by her.
Regardless of who is right or wrong, judging from the injuries alone, Su Yunzhu is not in the right. Besides, she knows her own daughter well. Su Wang's eyes flashed slightly and she made a quick judgment.
"Shi En, is your injury serious? I know Yun Zhu must have done something wrong. Let's talk it out nicely. Don't argue with her. I'll make her apologize to you tomorrow."
Su Yunzhu was dissatisfied and wanted to argue, but she met her mother's stern gaze. She stammered a few times, but ultimately did not dare to refute.
Mrs. Su Wang was satisfied and gave her a soothing look. The most urgent task was to calm Su Shien down first.
Su Shien was still angry, but after hearing what the eldest lady said, he seemed to be calmed down. After a moment of silence, he picked up the tattered portrait on the ground, dusted off the dust with his hands, and when he found that he couldn't wipe it clean, he held the broken scroll in his arms dejectedly.
Mrs. Su Wang also saw the painting. Combining it with the servants' words, she instantly realized that Su Shien really couldn't be blamed for this. He was obsessed with that young man right now. Not only did you send people to steal the painting, but you also made it so embarrassing in the end. No wonder Su Shien, who never even spoke loudly, was angry with her.
Mrs. Su Wang knew that she would have to promise a huge reward to settle the matter peacefully, so she asked Su Shien indirectly what compensation he wanted.
Of course, she did not forget to criticize Su Shien. Yunzhu was younger than him and was a girl who was raised in a pampered manner. Although she was at fault first, Su Shien, as her brother, should be tolerant.
The most important thing is that he should understand his own status and situation, and not make excessive demands.
Su Shien has been used to it for so many years, but he still feels depressed when he hears this set of words again.
