~ THE SU FAMILY IS INNOCENT ~
Mu Yunyao had just finished eating with Su Qing when she saw Qi Mama, who delivered the message . After hearing it, she couldn’t help but slightly raise the corners of her lips, “Does Eldest Aunt mean to tell me to deal with the people causing trouble in front of the house?”
Qi Mama nodded her head . “Yes . After all, the one who ordered the beating of Old Liu Mama and Old Wang Mama was Young Miss Biao . Although we can’t be sure about the reason, a master should come forward to inquire about it . In order to avoid causing more trouble and tarnish the Su family’s reputation . ”
Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes and smiled, then happily nodded . “Since that’s the case, then I’ll go take a look . ”
“Yes, then this servant went to reply to the Eldest Madam first . ”
“Thank you for specially making a trip, Qi Mama . ”
“ . . . This servant does not dare to accept it . ”
When Qi Mama left, Su Qing couldn’t help but frown . “Yao’er, back then, you only beat them with ten planks, and the ones that did it were Si Qin and Si Qi . Their strength was very light, and so many people in the Su family have seen it . Do they still want to rely on you?”
“Mother, there is no need to worry . Since something has happened, I’ll go and have a look . ”
“Mm, be careful . Although we didn’t hurt anyone, we can’t guard against anyone who wants to harm us . ” After entering the Su family for just a short time, Su Qing felt that her heart had become much colder . However, there was nothing she could do . She would rather be cold-hearted to guard against others than let her daughter fall into danger because of her own weakness .
Mu Yunyao nodded, then looked towards Si Qin and Si Qi, “The two of you were the ones who made a move at that time . Come with me and have a look . Also, call Mo Yu over as well . ”
“Yes, Miss . ” Si Qin and Si Qi didn’t panic in the slightest . After being called out, they directly followed behind Mu Yunyao and walked towards the residence’s entrance .
Before they even reached the manor gates, they heard bursts of weeping . The guards at both sides of the gates acted like they didn’t see the person crying on the ground .
Mu Yunyao slowly walked out of the door . She coldly looked at the two couples and several children kneeling on the ground . “Who gave you the courage to come and frame the Su Family?”
The crying and howling at the door suddenly stopped . “We did not frame the Su family . It’s just that my mother died without reason . My family was poor and did not have any money to bury her, so … . ”
Mu Yunyao didn’t wait for him to finish and directly interrupted him . “Since you’re not here to frame me, then are you here to scam me?”
“We didn’t mean it that way . No matter what, my mother has been a servant of the Su family for so many years . In the end, we still have our relationship …”
“Your mother has been a servant in the Su family for so many years . As her son, not only did you not take her out for filial piety, now that something happened, you did not let her rest in peace . Instead, you brought her corpse to the front door of the Su family . Are you not afraid of your mother’s uneasiness and come out to settle accounts with you in the middle of the night?”
The one who replied was Wang Mama’s son, Wang Zhu . When he heard Mu Yunyao’s words, he immediately shivered, feeling a chill down his spine, but had to muster up the courage to reply, “From the looks of your clothes, you are probably Young Miss of the Su family . ”
“I am the Su family’s Young Miss Biao, Mu Yunyao . Back then, I was the one who ordered Wang Mama and Liu Mama to be reprimanded and then chased out of the residence . I didn’t receive the attentiveness of these two people . On the contrary, I had beaten twice by them a few days ago . I don’t have any relationship with them . You can tell me what your purpose is . You don’t have to pretend to be pitiful and win sympathy here . ”
“You … You …” Wang Mama’s son couldn’t help, but his face turned blue . He was initially a drifter, and all these years, he had relied on his mother . Wang Mama, who worked in the Su family’s house, has supported him to get married and have children all the time .
A few days ago, Wang Mama was suddenly driven home, and the family lost the source of money . Wang Zhu had been very uncomfortable these past few days . He ran out of money to drink, so he wanted to go to the gambling house to try his luck, but instead, he owed a large number of gambling debts . Initially, Wang Zhu wanted to go home and make a ruckus to see if his mother had any private money . He didn’t expect that Wang Mama suddenly fainted and passed away soon after he went back . Wang Zhu was merely thinking about how he should handle the funeral when he heard that Aunt Liu, who had been kicked out with his mother, had also suddenly died, and he could not help thinking a little more .
After his mother came back, she secretly muttered to herself that the Su family’s Miss Biao was heartless, that the Su family’s Old Madam did not care about an old relationship . She had done things for the Old Madam, and not only did she not receive any compensation, but she was also even beaten and chased out of the Su family residence .
After hearing so much about it, and he always felt that this matter was unusual . In addition to the fact that Aunt Liu had passed away as well, it made him think a little more: Could it be that his mother had done something for the Old Madam of the Su family? In the end, it didn’t work out . Instead, she was kicked out of the house . Because of that, the Old Madam of the Su family wanted to kill her and silence her?
When he thought of it, he had a few more thoughts: If the Su family really did kill people, would it be possible for them to come and extort a large sum of money? He knew that it would be too dangerous if he acted rashly . Who knew, perhaps the Su family would also try to kill him . Thus, he dragged Aunt Liu’s son along with him . He even cried and howled along the way to blow up the matter . Thinking about it, the Su family would definitely be afraid of him and wouldn’t dare to do anything to him .
But now, when he noticed Mu Yunyao’s righteous and confident appearance, his heart started pounding once again .
“Miss Mu, your status is honorable . But you don’t put human lives in your eyes . My mother and Aunt Liu’s deaths would have been in vain if we didn’t come today!” Wang Mama’s son indignantly said, looking very aggrieved .
This street was the place where the officials resided . Ordinary citizens would usually take a detour, but because of such a big commotion today, there were already many commoners watching from the far corner of the street . After all, the rumor had just spread that the young miss of the Su family was the Moon Fairy of the Moon Palace, and quite several people wanted to come here to try their luck and see if they can see the fairy’s face .
“Stop right there!” Mu Yunyao stopped the person to talked, “Since you dare to bring someone here, it means that you have doubts in your heart . Our Su family is innocent and won’t allow anyone to throw dirty water in front of our doors . Back then, the two maids standing behind me were the ones who beat the two Mama . They used the court stick that was usually prepared in the house of officials and beat them ten times . Furthermore, this event happened ten days ago . All of you can verify the things I have said, and there was not a word of partiality about it . ”
Wang Mama’s son was more and more flustered . He had already been a guilty conscience from the start, but now that he saw Mu Yunyao’s confident words, he felt even more uncertain . The two seemingly delicate maids, not to mention the ten court sticks, even twenty or fifty court sticks, wouldn’t have caused any deaths . Could it be that he had guessed wrongly? But if he left just like that, he would feel unreconciled in his heart . He would already be in debt, and in a short while, the debt collectors would come knocking on his door . Even if the Su family did not kill him, those debt collectors would definitely take his life .
“Miss Mu, I didn’t want to say it in the first place . After all, my mother and Aunt Liu had served in the Su family for a long time, and they have a favor to owe . But since your words are like this, I must say some things . ”
A ray of light flashed across Mu Yunyao’s eyes . “Tell me . ”
“You’re right . The court sticks really can’t kill a person . But right now, my mother and Aunt Liu are both dead, and it’s still unclear how they died . If we were to say they died suddenly, could they make an arrangement to die together?”
