Chapter 685: You won’t be able to leave
” You!” Su Yu Cheng took an angry step closer to Su Wan but as soon as he took a step close to her, the guards standing behind her also moved and all the courage that Su Yu Cheng summoned went down the drain.He took an awkward step back but didn’t want to act like he was being scared away by the guards, instinctively he looked at his mother, who understood his plea for help and timely said, ” Yu Cheng come back and sit here there is no need to pick the letter just say the content outright, it’s all the same anyway.”
Su Yu Cheng immediately did as his mother said after all he was waiting for her to say something along the line but he didn’t forget to harumph at Su Wan as he said, ” Don’t be too happy, I am only sitting back down because my mother asked me to or else I would have given you a taste of my fists just like I did when you lived in the Su house.” After saying this he didn’t forget to wave his fists in front of Su Wan who only glanced at him with a bored expression.
This bitch why was she looking at him with that expression does she think that they were in the same situation as before? Hah! Just you wait! See how he will turn the situation around and make this bitch beg for mercy!
” Fine, if you only want to refuse a wine only to drink it forcefully later on then I will make your wish come true,” Su Yu Cheng crossed his legs and leaned backwards as he looked at Su Wan with a smug grin. ” That letter had everything written about how you were tyrannically seizing all the assets of our family and even refused to be filial to our father, that means if you don’t change your way soon then I and mother can go and complain to the magistrate right away! If we do that then not only will you be locked up but your shops will also get bad publicity is that what you want? I don’t think that you want that right?”
” Refusing to be filial?” mused Su Wan as she looked at Su Yu Cheng, she didn’t have to wait for long as the latter huffed and crossed his arms with a greedy smirk as he said, ” That’s right, a few days ago the Emperor issued a decree, that says that even married women have to be filial to their parents and send filial piety every month since that’s the case then I think you should stand sending at least a thousand golden taels to our family every month, I heard from my friends that your shops are each earning a thousand taels, so I will not ask for much just give us share of one of those shops and yeah we can’t forget the house either does it make sense that you and your husbands live in this big mansion and yet our family lives in that run-down house? Buy one house for our family in the town as well, it doesn’t matter if it’s big but it can’t be smaller than this one or else I will have to file a complaint about you in the magistrate’s office.”
Su Wan simply looked at the boy in front of her before bursting out laughing. ” You really know how to open your mouth and ask whatever you want, don’t you? You ask for a thousand taels as if you owe them.”
” Don’t I? My father is your father as well, if you are giving him a thousand taels then as his only son, of course, I have my share of them!”
“Hah on what basis? Did your father leave that thousand taels in my shop or did your mistress of a mother leave them?” Su Wan felt sleepy, her baby was tired and she too was in no mood to play with these two idiots.
“Su Wan! Don’t go too far! We all know who was the mistress!” For Madam Chu the word ‘mistress’ was like a taboo, she would explode even at the slightest mention of the word much less when it was being used for her. ” I was with your father much longer——”
“Yet you sold him to someone richer than you,” Su Wan finished for her, as she casually glanced at Madam Chu. ” You wanted a comfortable life, if you wished you could have fought with your parents and married Su Bai as you wanted but you didn’t you silently agreed with his plan because you wanted to get your hands on my mother’s money, didn’t you? But after you were done selling Su Bai.”
“You couldn’t see how he was getting prosperous either, so you keep him hanging… my mother was not a woman who knew how to beg and coax and why should she? Su Bai was living off her money, he was eating off her meals and wearing what she brought for him. So what if he was a man? In that kind of relationship he should have kneeled to my mother and drank the water with which my mother washed her feet yet he cheated on her with you,” she raised her head and glanced at Madam Chu whose entire being was shivering with anger. ” The only one who needed to beg in that relationship was you because that’s all you had, a pretty face … and a flexible back bone with no self-respect.”
“How dare you!” Madam Chu wished she could tear Su Wan’s mouth but she couldn’t do it, she knew that the second she made a move the bodyguards behind Su Wan will certainly create trouble for her.
So, she could only grit her teeth and glare at Su Wan hatefully. ” Just you wait! I will have you thrown into the prison soon enough!”
After that Madam Chu and Su Yu Cheng turned around to leave but before they could even take a step further out of the courtyard they were blocked by two guards. The tall and sturdy guards looked down at them, stunned the two took a few steps back before turning to look at Su Wan, the guards behind her were moving towards them as well!
“Su Wan, what’s the meaning of this?” Madam Chu shouted her voice panicked as she looked at the guards approaching her.
Su Wan calmly smiled as she motioned to the maid who returned with a whip. ” What else? You came to my house out of free will but you can’t leave the same way.”
