Chapter 331 Miss Feng
The old house of the Su family is located in the west of the city. When Su's father was alive, the escort agency was bustling with people and there were many shops around. This area was quite lively, but now it has become deserted.
As soon as Chunxi got off the carriage, she heard Su Yang remind her: "Your hair..."
He was still thinking about asking Chunxi to dress up as a young girl. Chunxi curled her lips and glanced at him with a half-smile: "Aunt Su is so sick, and you still have the mind to care about this?"
“…”
Su Yang stopped talking and walked in with Chunxi.
Su Yang not only bought the house, but also bought a doorman and maids. At this moment, the house was brightly lit. As he walked along, people kept bowing and calling Su Yang "Master".
It’s quite a grand occasion.
Chunxi was just thinking about it when Su's mother suddenly came running over crying, "Yang'er, you're finally back! There's a ghost! This house is haunted!"
Su's mother was so frightened that when she was about to reach the two of them, she suddenly stepped on the hem of her skirt and fell to her knees with a thud.
Chunxi quickly dodged to the side.
She couldn't afford such a great gift.
Su Yang was still thinking about how to let his mother pretend to be sick to soften Chunxi's heart. He didn't expect that Su's mother would make such a scene. He immediately helped Su's mother up and asked with suppressed anger: "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? There are no ghosts in this world."
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. They must have followed us!"
Su's mother's face was full of fear, her voice was trembling, and she could not even stand steadily.
Su Yang's face changed slightly. Afraid that she would say something, he tightened his grip on her arm and said, "Mom, you're sick and confused. No one is with you. Look who's here to see you."
Mother Su was terrified and had no intention of caring about Chunxi. She just grabbed Su Yang's arm and said, "Yang'er, go get someone to exorcise the evil spirits, or else those people will come after us and kill us. We've finally come this far, we can't let this go to waste..."
Mother Su was so frightened that she was talking nonsense. Su Yang covered her mouth in time and said to Chunxi, "My mother is sick and can't recognize people right now. Madam Shen should go back first. I will come to find Madam Shen when she wakes up."
"They say if you don't do bad things during the day, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door at night. Aunt Su is like this, could it be that she has done something bad?"
Chunxi's words were full of hidden meanings. Su Yang's expression froze and he frowned, saying, "My mother is just confused because of illness. Please don't talk nonsense, Madam Shen. Come on, send the guests away!"
Su Yang ordered Chunxi to leave, and Chunxi did not stay any longer. However, she felt that the haunting of the Su family's old house was suspicious, so she sent someone to keep an eye on it secretly.
Two days later, Cao Wu closed the shop and headed to the Su family's old house with his men and apprentices. Halfway there, he was stopped by Chunxi: "It's so late, big brother, why don't you go home to take care of mother? Where are you going?"
Cao Wu wasn't good at lying. He scratched his head and replied stiffly, "Hahaha, I just got a big deal and I'm planning to celebrate with them."
Chunxi didn't expose her, but nodded and said, "It's time to celebrate. I've booked a private room and some food and drinks at Zuixianlou. Let's go together."
"Uh, Ah Xi, I have something else to do today..."
Cao Wu tried to refuse, but Chunxi interrupted him: "What's so important that it would make my elder brother abandon his sick mother and his younger sister who finally decided to treat us?"
“…”
Cao Wu couldn't say it, and his face turned red after holding it in for a long time. In the end, he could only take his men and Chunxi to Zuixianlou.
Chunxi was very generous and ordered the best food and wine. Cao Wu took a big order. Everyone in the shop was exhausted in the past few days. As soon as the dishes were served, they ignored everything else and started to eat with grunts.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, they thanked each other and went home, holding their stomachs. After everyone left, Cao Wu said while burping, "It was thanks to Ah Xi that I was able to take on this big deal that day. This meal should be my treat. After I deliver the goods and receive the balance, I will definitely return the money to Ah Xi."
"Aunt Su has been bedridden for years due to depression. The doctor at Huichun Hall said she may not have much time left. If big brother scares her into something bad, he'll spend countless years in prison. How will he ever get his final payment?"
Cao Wu had drunk several glasses of wine and his eyes were blurry. He was shocked when he heard Chunxi's words. He stammered, "Axi, how...how did you know?"
"I don't know. I just wanted to trick Big Brother. I didn't expect him to admit it so easily."
“…”
He knew that he was not good at lying, and even worse at lying in front of Ah Xi!
Cao Wu was half sober. He scratched his head and said, "Su Yang came to my house to look for me. He even tried to trick my mother and me into moving into the Su family's old house to help him deal with you and your brother-in-law. I just wanted to teach him a lesson, not to kill anyone."
Chunxi actually didn't expect Cao Wu to do such a thing.
Her eldest brother is big and looks scary, but he is actually timid and soft-hearted. He can't help crying when he encounters something.
In the past, Chunxi always stood in front of him to prevent him from being bullied. This was the first time that the eldest brother silently protected her from the wind and rain.
Chunxi looked up at Cao Wu and asked gently, "Su Yang is now a complete villain. Brother, aren't you afraid of being discovered and retaliated against by him?"
"My mechanism is very clever, and with the help of the people in the shop, ordinary people won't be able to find it."
Cao Wu explained that he was a little lacking in confidence.
He thought he had been very thorough, but he was discovered by Ah Xi just at the beginning.
Soon, Cao Wu said again: "Don't worry, Ah Xi. If I am discovered, I will definitely take the blame myself and will not implicate you and your brother-in-law. These days, I have encountered many people and things while running the shop. I understand more clearly how much hardship and suffering you have endured during these years away from home. Now that your life is finally getting better, I can't let others bully you anymore."
Cao Wu spoke in a firm tone. Although he was afraid of what would happen, he did not regret it at all.
Chunxi was touched and couldn't help but reach out and hug Cao Wu: "Brother, thank you."
Ever since Chunxi was sold into the Wei family, the two siblings had grown increasingly distant. Suddenly being hugged, Cao Wu felt his entire body stiffen, his mind a bit dazed. "Ah Xi, you're not going to cry, are you? As an older brother, I'm supposed to protect my younger sister. It was my fault in the past that you suffered so much. I'll work hard to be a good older brother in the future."
Chunxi didn't want to cry. She quickly let go of Cao Wu, glared at him and said, "Brother, your intention to protect me is good, but it's wrong to scare others by pretending to be a ghost. After all, your brother-in-law is from the Censorate. If something goes wrong, you can't be partial to him and bend the law. I have sent people to collect evidence against Su Yang. Brother, you must not interfere in this matter again in the future. Do you understand?"
After confirming that Chunxi didn't cry, Cao Wu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly: "I will listen to Ah Xi."
Chunxi returned home, Uncle Hu also came back, and with him came Miss Feng.
As soon as she saw Chunxi, Miss Feng immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "I have suffered a great injustice, please Madam Shen, I beg you to help me!"
