Chapter 164 Under one's nose



On his way out, he was also thinking about how to get Luo Jiaojiao to do it herself.

After all, if Su Chenshi is killed at this point and another stranger comes along, it would be impossible to defend against them, and that would be a huge loss.

Su Chenshi was a greedy person, and she certainly wouldn't let go of these 1,000 taels of silver.

It's better to keep this bomb under your nose, so you can observe its every move, rather than making yourself impossible to guard against. This way, you'll know when Luo Jiaojiao will make her move and what scheme she'll use.

Having figured this out, Luo Yunhe went to see the advisor.

He told the advisor all his concerns, and the advisor, who had not expected there to be a conspiracy behind this matter, fell silent for a moment.

"Miss Luo, what are your plans for the next step?"

"Following the clues, it's better to gradually uncover the mastermind than to let him die so easily. After all, the tribute wine is a big deal, and we absolutely cannot allow any accidents to happen."

Therefore, we must…

After listening to Luo Yunhe's plan, the advisor nodded and agreed to Luo Yunhe's request.

Su Chenshi was not released immediately.

The villagers of Yue Shang Village all knew that Su Chenshi wanted to sabotage the winery, so every time the other members of the Su family went out, they were met with a barrage of curses from the villagers.

After all, with such a large workshop in the village, most of the family members benefited greatly, and their lives improved significantly as a result.

Cutting off someone's livelihood is tantamount to killing their parents, so the villagers were ruthless towards the Su family.

Su Shan, Su Ruyi, and Su Jingxing were also implicated.

Su Shan was so angry that he wanted to divorce Su Chenshi. After all, he valued his reputation and image above all else, and this time Su Chenshi had completely humiliated him and even thrown him into prison.

Su Ruyi was at the age where matchmakers were supposed to be looking for him, and many people were trying to arrange marriages for him. However, after hearing about his mother's situation, all the matchmakers ran away faster than anyone else.

Therefore, his recent interest in several young masters also fell through.

Although Su Jingxing's carpentry workshop wasn't doing very well, he could still make some money every day. However, after his mother's incident, his business plummeted, and no one bought his products anymore.

However, no matter what, Su Chenshi was still his mother, and he was the first to disagree with his father's decision to divorce her.

Zhang Lingling had just given birth, and he had seen through the true colors of the Su family. Therefore, he was very well-behaved and did not care at all about what would happen to the Su family. He only wanted to take care of his child and his own daily life, and he did not care about anything else.

The Su family was implicated in this matter. They were disliked in the village and were cursed at every time they went out. They were furious and internal strife broke out among themselves.

The eldest and second eldest Su brothers were tasked with criticizing the third eldest Su family because of this matter.

This made Su Shan lose even more face.

It wasn't until the fourth day, when Su Chenshi was delirious with fever in the prison, that the authorities notified her family to take her away.

"Mother, it's all your fault! If you hadn't done this at this crucial moment, my marriage wouldn't have fallen through!" Su Ruyi said angrily.

At this moment, he forgot how much his mother had sacrificed for him, and now all he got in return was his complaints, with no concern for his health whatsoever.

Although Su Jingxing didn't say anything, he was also resentful in his heart that his mother had to fly off to provoke Luo Yunhe.

Su Shan had been feeling incredibly frustrated lately, so after being brought back by the Chen family in Jiangsu, he couldn't wait to slap him hard across the face twice.

"Why did you have to go looking for trouble? You knew he was a dangerous person, yet you still did something so heinous! You're a jinx to our family! I'm divorcing you, you vicious woman!"

Su Chenshi had a high fever, but despite this, he was still able to sense what was happening around him. At this moment, he was unconscious and a tear rolled down his cheek.

Zhang Lingling didn't even go into his room; she stayed in her own room, coaxing the child while listening to the commotion outside.

I can't help but feel a little smug inside, even though I'm secretly cursing them.

Everyone in the village knew that Su Chenshi had almost lost her life, and they were all very pleased, gossiping about her behind her back every day.

Therefore, the Su family couldn't stand the villagers pointing and gossiping about them, so they simply took a detour every time they went out.

After the incident involving Su Chenshi, the winery became even more vigilant and on high alert.

People entering and leaving the area are subject to strict screening every day.

Luo Yunhe even gave them all a raise, so they could work more diligently in the market and pay more attention to their surroundings.

Luo Jiaojiao stayed in the town for a few days, and during those days she often went to the Luo family's winery.

Since his last encounter with Luo Yunhe's family, he had never seen Luo Yunhe appear in the shop again.

Moreover, there was no news from the woman, which made her somewhat anxious.

Just as he was getting anxious, he heard that someone who tried to sabotage the tribute wine was caught and even given 30 lashes on the spot.

He sent his trusted assistant, Xiao Lian, to investigate. When he learned that it really was that woman, he was furious. He never expected that this old woman would be so careless in her work.

His only requirement now is that this woman cannot betray him.

So, she asked someone about what happened to that woman.

When she learned that she was barely clinging to life, she breathed a sigh of relief. However, if she didn't die, she might very well confess.

But he couldn't kill someone in such a place; if it were discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So, she secretly met with Su Chenshi once.

It was a dark and windy night. He spent a lot of money to prepare the prison before finally entering the jail.

Su Chenshi lay there every day. Even when food was brought to him, he could only eat a little bit and had no extra strength. But he never expected that Luo Jiaojiao would appear in the prison and come to see him.

But the thought that he had become like this was all caused by this damned woman in front of him made it impossible for him to forgive her.

Therefore, Su Chenshi started cursing at the other party as soon as she saw him.

Luo Jiaojiao had been pampered since childhood and had never been insulted like this before. So when faced with Su Chenshi's insults, she just frowned tightly, feeling shocked and displeased, but she endured it.

"I'm here to talk to you, why are you so agitated! After all, it's your own carelessness that's the problem, what does it have to do with me?"
