Chapter 238 Intimidation (4th update)
"Alas, it's a pity that I was born too late and never saw the elegance of Mr. Su!" A young girl said with a longing look on her face, holding her cheeks.
"Well, I just heard it. Who knows if it's true?" said the girl with a smile.
"Ayun, tell us quickly, what else have you heard about that Mr. Su?" The girls chattered at once, urging Ayun to say more.
Yuan Ziyu and Huo Xifei looked at each other, sipped the tea in the cup gently, and listened intently to the words on the other side.
"Anything else? Let me think!" Ah Yun was pestered by the girls and had no choice but to think carefully. After a while, he said, "Oh, right, there are some stories about Master Su!"
"What is it?" the girls asked hurriedly.
"Oh, forget it, I won't say anymore!" Ayun seemed to have thought of something and said hurriedly, shaking his head.
"Ayun, why are you like this? You stop talking halfway through. You're just keeping us in suspense!" The others were not happy!
"That's right, that's right, Ayun, tell me quickly, what's the matter, it makes me feel itchy. You can't do this, otherwise I will go to your family to ask you!" A girl said with a pout.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't. If my aunt finds out, she'll definitely blame me!" Ah Yun said with a look of distress. "Besides, there's no basis for this and no witnesses. If it gets out, and people accuse me of slandering a good person, then I'll die unjustly. So, don't ask!"
It would have been fine if this hadn't been said. Once it was said, the girls' curiosity grew even stronger. "What's going on? Tell us, tell us. We promise not to tell anyone. Oh, Ayun, just tell us now! We're getting so anxious!"
Ah Yun lost her temper after being annoyed by the girls: "Alright, alright, I'm telling you what I'm saying, but you all have to cover your mouths tightly, okay?"
"Don't worry, we won't tell anyone!"
After receiving assurances from her sisters, Ayun whispered, "I heard that the former master and mistress of the Su family and Young Master Su were both murdered."
"Ah!" The girls exclaimed, "Is this true?"
"I don't know, I just heard it!" Ah Yun pouted: "Who knows if it's true or not."
"Then no one went to the government office to report the case?"
"Of course not, it's just that nothing happened in the end!" Ah Yun said, "That's why I don't want to say it, and you too, keep these words to yourself and don't tell anyone else!"
"Yeah, we know."
The girls nodded hurriedly. Who would dare to tell anyone else? Murder was just like what Ayun said, it was unfounded. If it was fabricated out of thin air and someone investigated, wouldn't that bring trouble to themselves?
Because of this, the girls' interest dropped a lot, and they dispersed after drinking tea!
Seeing this, Yuan Ziyu and Huo Xifei paid for their tea and left the teahouse.
"You... who are you?" In a deserted alley, Ayun looked at the masked Yuan Ziyu and Huo Xifei with some horror.
Huo Xifei listened carefully to the movements around him and nodded to Yuan Ziyu.
Yuan Ziyou asked Ayun, "Tell us what happened when the Su family was murdered?"
"Ah!" Ayun didn't expect Yuan Ziyu to ask this question, so she felt a little flustered. She couldn't resist the sisters today, so she said a few words. She didn't expect that she would be asked this question so soon.
Who are these two people? Are they going to kill people to silence them?
Ayun was frightened by her own thoughts. Her legs went limp and she sat down on the ground, crying and begging, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I don't know anything."
"That's not what you said in the teahouse just now. Tell me everything you know!" Yuan Ziyu took out a dagger from his waist and turned it back and forth in his hand.
"Teahouse?" Ah Yun's eyes widened. "You were in the teahouse just now?"
Because the two of them had intentionally concealed their presence in the teahouse, none of the girls noticed them before.
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me everything you know!" Yuan Ziyu said fiercely, "Otherwise, you won't be able to save your face!"
As she spoke, she gestured twice with the dagger, which made Huo Xifei roll his eyes secretly. This girl seemed to be addicted to playing the villain.
"Wuwuwu... I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Ayun was frightened by Yuan Ziyu's words, and said everything he knew in a trembling voice.
It turned out that Ayun lost both her parents when she was young and grew up with her uncle and aunt. One time, she overheard the conversation between her uncle and aunt and learned some things about the Su family.
Aunt Ayun's cousin was one of the people who went to the government office to file a complaint, saying that the Su family had been harmed.
However, not long after Aunt Ayun filed the complaint, her cousin fell and drowned.
Before his death, Aunt Ayun's cousin told these things to Aunt Ayun. Aunt Ayun was timid and did not dare to tell anyone else. She only told it to Aunt Ayun's uncle in private. Unexpectedly, Aunt Ayun heard it.
According to Ayun's aunt, the young master of the Su family was not sick at the time, but was abused every day. The year before Su Zhongkang announced that he would give up the position of head of the family, the doctor who went in and out of the Su family was there to treat the young master of the Su family. He was just threatened, so when someone asked him about it, he just said that he came into the mansion to treat someone, but he refused to say who the doctor was.
"Who abused the young master of the Su family?" Yuan Ziyu suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Ayun.
Ah Yun shook her head: "I don't know, my aunt didn't tell me, and I didn't dare to ask!"
"Is that Su Chengwei?"
"It shouldn't be!" Ayun said: "As far as I know, the current head of the Su family came to Hangzhou a month before Master Su retired, and he had never appeared in Hangzhou before!"
"A month ago?" Yuan Ziyu confirmed again.
"Well, yes!" Ayun nodded hurriedly.
"Then what is the relationship between your aunt's cousin and the Su family? Has he ever told us where the Su family went later?" Yuan Ziyu asked hurriedly.
"I don't know." Ayun shook his head: "That's all I know!"
After saying that, Ayun started crying again: "I have told you everything I know. Please forgive me. I will never talk about these things again. Please don't kill me, okay?"
"Don't mention what happened today to anyone else!" Yuan Ziyu said fiercely, "Otherwise..."
Before he finished speaking, Yuan Ziyu swung the dagger in his hand and a stone next to him broke into two pieces.
Ah Yun felt like she was about to stop breathing: "No, no, I won't say anything, just let me go! Please!"
Ayun cried as she spoke!
"Let's go!"
After hearing this, Ayun didn't dare to stay any longer. She crawled out of the alley, fearing that the people behind her would catch up and stab her.
