Chapter 83: Kidnapped and sent to the authorities!
After being stunned for a moment, Liu Zhiren felt relieved and a gentle expression appeared on his face:
"Madam, you have contributed a lot to our family. You have worked hard these past few years. It doesn't matter. Even if the dowry is gone, didn't you still buy some shops? You can still make a living."
"Don't worry, once I pass the imperial examination and secure a position, I will double your compensation for all your efforts over the years."
As he spoke, he stood up and walked forward to hold Su Anrong in his arms to comfort her, just like before, as long as he coaxed her in a gentle voice, she would obey him in everything.
However, this time, Su Anrong shook him off and took a step back.
"Rongrong?" Liu Zhiren suddenly felt uneasy again.
Su Anrong's face was expressionless, and he looked at him steadily:
"You've never managed those shops, so you don't know that they've been losing money for the past six months. I sold them all a few days ago, and after paying the employees the monthly wages I owed them, there wasn't much left."
Liu Zhiren was stunned for a moment, and a hint of anger flashed across his face but was quickly suppressed.
"It's okay. You haven't been back to your parents' home for a while. After we get down the mountain, I'll accompany you to visit your father-in-law and his parents..."
Before he could finish, Su Anrong showed a sneer on his face:
"You've been complaining to me since shortly after your wedding, saying that my parents and brothers look down on you because you're a pauper, and that they're always bullying you and using their money to trample on your dignity."
"Over time, I stopped communicating with my family to save your face. For several years, you never took the initiative to mention me going back to my parents' home. But when you heard that my family was out of money, you were willing to accompany me back to my parents' home. Did someone trample on your dignity?"
Liu Zhiren looked hurt:
"Rongrong, how could you think that? I only knew you had a quarrel with your family before, but I didn't mention it because I was afraid of hurting you."
Su Anrong had no expression on her face:
"I contacted my mother's family a few days ago. The Su family has offended the powerful in the court, and the family business has been shut down."
"My father is a man of great integrity. He's willing to sell everything he has to pay back the deposits from dozens of clients, big and small. I'm afraid he'll need our help in the future."
Liu Zhiren was stunned and his face became darker and darker.
Su Anrong continued calmly:
"You've been taking the imperial examinations for so many years, but there's been no progress. In fact, I never expected you to become rich and famous. Having some spare money at home wasn't a big deal before, but you should understand our current situation. We have to make a living."
"Don't you always say that you care about me and that everything you do is for me? Now, it's time for you to find a job and earn money to support the family for me..."
"What are you dreaming about!" Liu Zhiren interrupted angrily.
"I was wondering why you were acting so strangely today. Turns out you've squandered all the family money, and you're deliberately finding fault with me to make me feel guilty and achieve your goal!"
"Su Anrong, you're dreaming! I'm telling you, I want to divorce my wife!"
The speed at which his expression changed was so sudden that everyone around him took a breath and looked at Su Anrong with sympathy.
Su Anrong sneered:
"So your so-called affection is all because of my Su family's wealth, right? As soon as you heard that I had no money, you wanted to divorce me. Are you planning to go back and marry your fake sister?"
"That's right!" This time Liu Zhiren was too lazy to pretend and looked at her sarcastically, "Why don't you look in the mirror? In terms of appearance and figure, how can you compare to Jiaojiao? If it weren't for the fact that the Su family has some assets, you would not be worthy of entering my Liu family!"
"Now your Su family is nothing, and you've offended the powerful, yet you still want me to support you, a foolish woman who eats for free! You're dreaming!"
Su Anrong had no expression on her face:
"So, it was you who did the contraceptive soup thing? And you also acknowledged that the mistress in the hospital had two children?"
"Haha, so what if you admit it? Jiaojiao and I grew up together, we are true love!"
"Very good!" Su Anrong's calm face suddenly turned fierce, and he shouted, "Tie him up and send him to the authorities!"
Su Anrong brought servants with her when she traveled. After hearing her words, several servants immediately walked towards Liu Zhiren.
Liu Zhiren was startled, and then angrily said to the servant:
"You are servants of the Liu Mansion! I am your master! How dare you kidnap me?"
"We are originally from the Su Mansion, and our wages have always been paid by the young lady of the Su family! If the young lady is willing to let us, the Liu family, treat you as the masters, then you are the masters. Now that the young lady is unwilling, you are nothing!" The leading servant had been holding back his anger for a long time and immediately retorted.
Originally in the Liu Mansion, they all called Su Anrong "Madam", but now they changed it back to the name "Young Miss" that they used in the Su Mansion.
Liu Zhiren sneered:
"Didn't you hear? The Su family has fallen on hard times, and this woman has no money at all! How can she pay you? Are you going to work for her for nothing?"
He thought that since the servants had no wages, they would definitely not listen to Su Anrong anymore.
But the leading servant said:
"Even if the young lady wants to dismiss us, that's for the future! She wants to take you to the authorities today, and we have to fulfill her wish no matter what!"
As he said this, a group of servants pinned Liu Zhiren down and tied him up.
"You... let me go!" Liu Zhiren finally panicked. "Su Anrong, you have no money or power, so what if you see the official? Let me tell you, my good friend from school is working in the government office. If he really goes there, it won't be any use to you!"
