Chapter 225 Lord Lan Wants to Divorce His Wife
Su Yun's expression was slightly strange; she hadn't known about this before.
The Su family was worried about her health, so they didn't tell her.
But when she went out early this morning, she saw Lin Xier lying on the ground at their door with her face covered in blood.
It scared her half to death, and she barely recovered. Even now, thinking about it, she still finds it hard to believe.
How could there be such parents in the world...?
“She…” Su Yun thought for a moment, afraid of scaring Xiao Su Bao.
"What happened?" Xiao Su Bao didn't like Lin Xi'er, but seeing Su Yun's appearance, she couldn't help but ask.
Su Yun paused for a moment before continuing, "Her face was slashed, and they even said they were going to send her to a nunnery. It was only after the county magistrate found out about it and went to give Lord Lin a good scolding that her life was spared!"
Su Yun sighed as he recalled Lin Xi'er's pleading for help.
The Su family had been searching for him, and his parents and grandparents were extremely worried. They were overjoyed to see him return.
But she also knew about her future marriage...
It seems unlikely!
If a girl is kidnapped by a child trafficker, no decent family in the city would let their son marry her!
"Sister Su...don't be sad..."
Looking at the expression on Su Yun's face, Xiao Su Bao couldn't help but whisper a word of comfort.
Su Yun smiled and took Xiao Su Bao's hand: "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, I heard that Sanpang's family gets their 'red glow meat' and pig's head meat from your family?"
Little Su Bao was taken aback, not expecting Su Yun to react so quickly. The little dumpling nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it was all caused by our family!"
There's no point in hiding something like this.
Little Milk Dumplings also wants to sell more.
"That's great! Many of my dad's brothers really like your family's braised pork head and other braised meats. Little Su Bao, can I order some from you?"
Su Yun scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
Because she was lost, those uncles and elders searched for her for a long time; they had always been very kind to her.
Because they were worried that she wouldn't be able to get married, several of her uncles and aunts were vying to give themselves to their sons and grandsons!
Su Yun knew they meant well, and didn't know how to repay them, so this was the only way she could come up with.
"Great!" Little Su Bao's eyes lit up immediately. She was very happy to be able to earn money for her family!
"Can I have some too?" Just then, a voice came in.
Su Yun was startled and immediately took a step back while holding Xiao Su Bao.
"Dad, why are you... listening to other people talk again!" Su Yun glared angrily at her father.
Lord Su scratched his head, revealing a simple and honest smile, completely different from his previous ruthlessness.
"I'm just worried you'll go too far and get carried off by a tiger!" Lord Su said with a smile, looking at his daughter pitifully when he saw she was angry.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Su Bao blushed; she herself had been carried off by a tiger yesterday…
The little dumpling secretly glanced at Lord Su.
I just saw Lord Su talking to his older brother while sneaking over, and his nervous look was quite amusing.
Su Yun snorted and turned away from her father, but still made a mental note of the matter.
Her father doted on her so much, how could she possibly be angry with him!
"Ahem, alright, the matter at Butcher Sun's house has been settled. He said he'll send the Tang family home first, and then go to the county town. Daughter, do you want to go to Tang Family Village?"
Lord Su looked at his still angry daughter and said.
Su Yun was taken aback, and tightened her grip on Xiao Su Bao's hand.
"Yes, yes!" She wanted to thank Xiao Mobao.
Moreover, she brought a lot of things for Xiaosubao and the others this time.
The little dumpling laughed when it heard this, its dimples looking soft and adorable.
"When Sister Su comes to my house, I'll make crickets for her!" the little dumpling said happily.
After a pause, the little girl looked at Madam Qian again, and Madam Qian's heart softened when she saw how sensible she was.
"Thank you, Su Bao! I want to tell you, I still want to eat Aunt Qian's steamed buns. They're the best steamed buns I've ever eaten!" the little girl said with a big smile, showing no sign of sadness.
Seeing his daughter like this, Lord Su felt less worried.
He just wanted his daughter to be happy: "Haha, okay, things are almost done over there. Let's pack up and go!"
Under Lord Su's iron-fisted rule, all the thieves in Sunjia Village had to pay the price and compensate Sun the butcher's family for their losses.
Each family contributed two taels of silver, and the silver lost by the Sun family was recovered.
The people of Sunjia Village were filled with fear, worried that Lord Su would imprison them.
Spring planting has just ended, and there's still a lot of work to be done in the fields.
Apart from Village Chief Sun, Zhou Ergou, and a few other more egregious individuals, the rest were left behind.
Butcher Sun glanced at Liu Laosi, but ultimately remained silent.
If he helps Liu Laosi, it will probably make the people of Sunjia Village hate Liu Laosi even more...
Sun the butcher packed his things, herded all the pigs in the house together, and left with Qian and the others.
Little Su Bao was slightly taken aback when she saw so many pigs.
Village Chief Sun's wife watched this scene from afar, her eyes filled with heartache.
But there was nothing they could do; these pigs originally belonged to their family!
They all come from Sunjia Village!
But now...
She came to hate the Qian family and the Tang family.
Especially Xiao Su Bao, in her opinion, it was because of Xiao Su Bao that she knew Su Yun.
That's why Lord Su came looking for them and discovered that her husband and several others had stolen from Butcher Sun's house!
“Mother…” Little Su Bao suddenly turned around and met the resentful eyes of Village Chief Sun’s wife.
The little dumpling was far too sensitive to this kind of malice.
Qian followed her gaze and frowned slightly when she saw Village Chief Sun's wife.
“Eldest brother…” Madam Qian turned to look at Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng was also looking in the direction of Sunjia Village at that moment, and only turned his gaze away after the village chief's wife disappeared.
"I'll be more careful!" Tang said earnestly.
Xiao Su Bao looked at Tang Cheng, then at Qian Shi, to make sure they were alright for the time being.
The little dumpling then revealed a cute, chubby smile.
Meanwhile, a lot of things have happened in Kyoto!
Lord Lan wants to divorce his wife...
The current Madam Lan was originally his cousin. Back then, in order to marry his first wife, he reluctantly agreed to Madam Lan's request.
Even those children were conceived because Old Madam Lan insisted he go, otherwise he would have pretended to be dead...
Lord Lan originally wanted to prepare a magnificent dowry for his daughter, after all, her first wife had brought a fortune with her when she married him.
But when he opened the warehouse, he was stunned...
Antiques and calligraphy were scarce, and of the six boxes of pearls from the East China Sea, only half remained...
Of his wife's many precious jewelry pieces, only one set remains...
Lord Lan was panting heavily, his eyes filled with coldness.
"Zhou, what happened to my Xi'er's dowry?!" The old lady and the madam have always been in charge of the household affairs.
Madam Lan clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with a strange emotion...
"I...I..." Madam Lan wanted to smile to ease the awkwardness, and wanted to explain something, but looking at the empty storeroom, she didn't know what to say.
Lord Lan was, after all, an official of the imperial court. Although his official rank was not high, his status was not low.
His gaze toward Madam Lan grew increasingly cold.
Just then, Old Madam Lan walked in through the door, leaning on her snake-head cane.
