196 Seeing the Jade Pendant (2)
The three of them were stunned. Everyone seemed to have been enlightened.
Su Erlang clenched his fists.
Damn it, why didn’t he think of it!
Su Can whispered, “Dad, her story seems to be better than ours…”
Old Master Su glared at Su Can.
Su Yuniang burst out laughing.
Su Can shouted with bravado, “What are you laughing at!”
Su Yuniang said gloatingly, “I’m laughing at how you guys are not as smart as Daya alone. Did you forget to bring your brains when you went out to harm others?”
“Su, Yu, Niang!” Su Can reached out to slap her.
Slap!
It was Su Cheng who did the slapping; Su Can did not manage to touch Su Yuniang at all. Instead, he fell to the ground and lost a front tooth.
“Dad!” Su Erlang hurriedly helped Su Can up. “Don’t go too far!”
Su Cheng carried the butcher knife on his shoulder. “Is this too much? I haven’t used the knife yet.”
Su Erlang gritted his teeth and said, “The entire village knows that the jade pendant belongs to our Su family! No matter how exciting your story is, no one will believe you!”
Old Master Su loosened his clenched fists bit by bit.
Erlang was right. No matter what the truth was, the Su family could not prove that the jade pendant was theirs.
As long as there was no way to prove it, the villagers would not believe it!
Su Yuniang frowned.
She did not publicize the matter immediately because she did not have enough evidence.
It was over. The Su family would blow things up first. The situation was disadvantageous to Daya and her family.
At this moment, a carriage stopped at the entrance of the Su family.
Su Yuan carried Little Fraudster Erhu down.
“Don’t run out alone again, understand?”
“Are you really not going to touch it?” Erhu persevered in promoting his lucky stone.
Su Yuan was tickled by Erhu.
The two of them entered the house.
The atmosphere in the house was strange.
Erhu was already very familiar with the Su family. Every time this group of people came to the house, they would slander their mother. Erhu had long labeled them as bad people in his heart!
“Don’t bully my mother!” Erhu ran over and stubbornly stood in front of Su Xiaoxiao.
Among the three little ones, Dahu was the boldest. Xiaohu was also fierce. Erhu was relatively mild, but when his brothers were not around, he took on the heavy responsibility of protecting his mother!
Su Yuan asked, “Miss Su, what happened?”
The three of them looked at Su Yuan.
Su Yuan was the legitimate son of a duke in the capital. No matter how ordinary his clothes were, they were still of the highest quality.
After the Su family became rich, they befriended many rich families. It was really enviable!
However, those who befriended the Su family were usually businessmen. Thinking of this, the Su family did not take Su Yuan seriously.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh, these people want to snatch my jade pendant.”
Su Erlang said coldly, “Who wanted to rob you? You were the ones who robbed our house! Hurry up and return the jade pendant!”
“What jade pendant?” Su Yuan asked.
Su Xiaoxiao took off the jade pendant around her neck. “There, this is it.”
Old Master Su’s eyes flickered.
Su Erlang glanced at Old Master Su and said tacitly, “My family’s jade pendant is really in your hands! Su Yuniang! You’re really a traitor! You treated our Su family’s heirloom as a gift! You’re so eager to please the Su family! You’re too disappointing!”
He was shameless to the extreme.
Su Yuniang was so angry that she almost snatched the knife from Su Cheng’s hand.
“Did you just say that this jade pendant belongs to your family?”
It was Su Yuan who spoke.
Su Erlang, who was questioned by him, said seriously, “That’s right! Master, although I don’t know where you came from and what collaboration you want to discuss with the Su family, I advise you not to do business with such an evil person! Otherwise, you won’t even have time to regret it!”
Su Yuan stared fixedly at the jade pendant. In Su Erlang’s eyes, his reaction revealed shock and disappointment in the Su family.
Su Erlang struck while the iron was hot. “I’m afraid you don’t know. This kind of jade pendant was originally a pair. 30 years ago, there was a disaster in Qingzhou. In order not to let everyone starve to death, my great-grandfather sold one of the jade pendants in exchange for the food of the entire village…”
Su Yuniang cursed. “Bullsh*t! Su Erlang, do you know about jade? Do you know how valuable this jade pendant is? Did the Su family have a general or a prime minister in its lineage? How can they obtain such an heirloom?”
Su Erlang pointed at Su Cheng and said, “If we can’t, can he?”
Su Yuniang choked.
Su Yuan opened his mouth. “Can you… show me?”
Su Xiaoxiao gave him the jade pendant.
Su Yuan’s hand trembled as he took the jade pendant.
...
Su Yuan looked at the three of them with a cold expression. “Where did you get the jade pendant you sold?”
Su Erlang said, “I told you it’s inherited from my family!”
Su Yuan said in a low voice, “Nonsense!”
Su Erlang was shocked by Su Yuan’s sudden aura.
He composed himself and asked strangely, “Who are you? You’re an accomplice invited by the Su family, right? You don’t have the right to speak here! Hurry up and return the jade pendant to us! Otherwise, I’ll send you to the officials!”
“How dare you!” Zheng Guang walked in. “How dare you be rude to my Master? You’re tired of living!”
Su Can was dumbfounded. “What?”
Zheng Guang said, “Listen carefully. My master is the heir of the North Garrison in the capital, Su Yuan!”
A duke from the capital?
Old Master Su’s expression changed!
