Chapter 53 53 Xiyue Town
Over the past ten years, the Li residence has been like hell.
No matter whether it was the lady, the three young ladies, or just an ordinary maid, no one had a good life.
Li Ji's extreme selfishness brought misery to his family.
After reading the letter sent by the eldest daughter, Su Yan felt uneasy. She really couldn't imagine how bad a father had to be to do such a thing. It would not be an exaggeration to call him a beast.
Li Yuan said: "Now that we have confessed, let's go to the government office now, so that I don't have to cancel the engagement."
Xiangyun crawled forward on her knees, "Miss Su, it was my sister and I who did it. The two young ladies and Mu Tou really didn't do it."
Mu Tou was the only man, with tears in his eyes at this moment: "If I had known that you invited me to drink for this purpose, I would have not drunk it. I should have gone to help you..."
Yun Xing was leaning against the corner pillar, his eyes accidentally swept over Su Yan, and he stared at Su Yan without moving.
It was rare that Su Yan was so quiet and didn't express any thoughts.
Yunxing didn't know how she was going to deal with it.
Su Yan did not answer Li Yuan and the others. She turned around, opened the door of the room and walked out, leaving Li Chan and the others looking at each other in bewilderment.
Li Chan sighed and said helplessly: "There is really no need to involve so many people, Xiangyun, you shouldn't plead guilty."
"I'm already very tired," Li Yuan said, "Instead of letting me marry Master Zhang, it would be better to ask me to go see my mother and elder sister. When I get to the government office, I can say that I was the one who did it."
"Second sister!"
Xiangxiu stood up and walked to Xiangyun and helped her up.
Xiangyun is timid and her legs are still weak.
Xiangxiu smiled bitterly and said, "It was the two of us who did it. We will definitely not implicate the young lady. We will discuss it with Miss Su later and pretend that the two young ladies don't know about it. Miss Su is easy to talk to, and she will agree."
"No!" Li Chan glared at Xiang Xiu. "I saw what you were going to do that day, but I also had my own selfish motives and deliberately didn't stop you... I should have stopped you and thought of another way."
Several people were arguing endlessly.
Yunxing watched for a moment and found it funny.
He had seen this kind of scene before, but it was in Izumo Tower.
Zhao Mingde's power was at its peak, and Chuyun Tower became more and more high-profile. They did not shy away from others at all, and some people even became officials in a legitimate manner.
When they get together, they will argue about who killed someone, just to take credit for themselves.
Same thing, completely different mindset.
Is there anyone who wants to take the blame for others?
After a while, Su Yan came back with Lin Bo. Li Chan and the others stopped talking and looked at her together.
Su Yan said seriously, "I have told Lin Bo the truth about this matter. He will be responsible for everything from now on. Yun Xing and I have important matters to attend to, so we must hurry on our way. If you have any questions, just ask Lin Bo."
Li Chan was stunned.
While the others were still reacting, Li Chan already understood what Su Yan meant.
Even if Su Yan really wanted to hurry on his way, why didn't he hand the matter over to other constables, but instead handed it over to the person who replaced the bride with a rotten corpse?
Lin Bo hates Li Ji, so it goes without saying how he will deal with this matter.
Su Yan is planning to...
Li Chan stepped forward and said sincerely, "Thank you, Miss Su. Where are you going? Is there anything we can do to help you?"
Su Yan waved his hand and said, "In fact, we are only here to find the sword. You should talk to Mu Tou and tell him not to pick up things casually."
Mu Tou blushed.
Su Yan walked up to Yun Xing, grabbed his sleeve and walked out, "That's it, we still have things to do, let's go first."
Xiangyun looked at Su Yan who left in a hurry blankly, "What's the matter?"
Lin Bo smiled and said, "Nothing happened. You can live your life in peace from now on."
Li Yuan was surprised and asked, "Aren't you going to take us back to the government office?!"
Lin Bo shrugged and said, "Captain Qian doesn't like to meddle in other people's business. I think he is quite afraid of Miss Su. He probably wants her to leave as soon as possible."
As for why Captain Qian was afraid of a little girl, it was unknown, as Su Yan was obviously very kind.
Xiangyun and Xiangxiu finally reacted, as if waking up from a dream, "We killed someone, there's really no need..."
"Why kill anyone? Isn't it a ghost?" Lin Bo said expressionlessly, "Your house is haunted. You should hire someone to perform a ritual to exorcise the evil spirit as soon as possible."
Li Chan said sincerely: "Thank you."
Lin Bo added: "But Miss Su also said that if you hurt other people in the future..."
"Definitely not," Li Chan said firmly, "There is still some extra money in the house. To show my sincerity, I am willing to build a porridge shed and distribute it to the poor people."

Su Yan and Yun Xing stayed in Xiyue Town for five days.
During these five days, Su Yan bought himself some dry food for the journey, and for the first time ever, he went to a clothing store to buy a set of clothes.
In the past, she always wore coarse linen clothes. Xiyue Town was more prosperous and stable than Anping Town. Perhaps influenced by the environment, Su Yan developed a little interest in beautiful clothes.
Of course this interest disappeared after she spent the money.
The new clothes are for winter wear. The skirt is light green and the jacket is mainly white, decorated with exquisite light green embroidery. There is also a circle of fluff at the collar. It is something only young ladies would wear.
In addition to clothes and dry food, Su Yan also bought candied fruits.
Sweets can replenish energy and are indispensable. It is definitely not just that she is greedy.
After staying in Xiyue Town for a few days, Su Yan's bag became fatter and fatter, and she felt more satisfied than ever before.
However, when counting the silver, Su Yan was not satisfied. "You said this dress, why is the shopkeeper unwilling to lower the price by even a penny? Isn't it normal to bargain? They don't bargain?"
Yunxing did not answer.
Su Yan really liked this dress. Although she never showed it on her face, Yun Xing could imagine that what she was thinking at the time was probably - "It's so beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful, I want to buy it, buy it, buy it!!"
Why would the shopkeeper lower the price?
Yun Xing said: "Since I brought you to the capital, I will naturally not ignore you. You don't need to worry about the money."
Su Yan said righteously, "Friends should be clear about accounts. I won't use your money indiscriminately."
Yun Xing's heart moved.
Are they... friends?
Yunxing always thought that they were just people in the same industry.
If there is no common goal in the future, we can separate at any time.
At best, for some reasons, he must protect Su Yan from being harmed now, and when she goes to Beijing in the future, he must also protect her from being framed by the Shi family.
friend……
Yun Xing looked at Su Yan, who was sincere and full of passion. At this moment, there was only one question in Su Yan's mind - "How much do you have?"
Yun Xing: “…”
