Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Deal with Her
“Alright, Yunjing, then you and your husband may settle in, and I’ll go tidy up the room for you both right now,” said Su Yunjin’s mother.
Since Su Yunjin’s marriage, her room had been left unoccupied, collecting dust and miscellaneous items. It required cleaning before anyone could live there.
Su Yunjin declined her mother’s offer to help clean, “Mother, you go and attend to the other matters with father. I can tidy up the room myself.”
“Little sister, let me help you clean up,” Su Ningxiu volunteered to assist Su Yunjin, but she also declined Su Ningxiu’s offer.
“Ningxiu, you were bound in the firewood shed for a whole day, and you haven’t eaten anything for a day as well. You must be feeling unwell now. You’d better go back to your room and rest,” she insisted.
Su Yunjin prevented them from helping, and neither Mrs. Shen nor Su Ningxiu insisted further. Su Yunjin and Gu Ya, the married couple, returned to their room, where Gu Ya started surveying the surroundings.
“Yunjing, is this the room where you used to live?” The young bride’s room wasn’t large, and its furnishing was quite simple.
This room was where the original occupant of this body used to live, not her. However, having transmigrated into this place and become the master of this body, it could be considered the place where she had previously lived, in a manner of speaking.
The young bride and he had decided to stay at the Shen Family home for a few days, a plan Gu Ya had not yet discussed with his own parents. It was only right for him to visit his parents and let them know,
While Yunjin was busy tidying up the room, Gu Ya said, “Yunjing, I need to step out for a moment.”
“Where are you going?” Su Yunjin turned to look at Gu Ya.
When the young bride inquired, Gu Ya did not conceal the truth from her, instead replying honestly, “I’m going back to the Gu Family’s place for a while.”
It was at that moment that Su Xiaofu’s angry shouting suddenly came from outside the courtyard, “Su Yunjin, get your ass out here, you black-hearted, vile creature! How shameless can you be? Today, in front of so many people, you framed me like that, spilling slander over me—I never realized you were so malicious!”
Hearing the noise, Su Yunjin instinctively looked towards the door, quickly followed by Mrs. Tao’s shouting that also reached them from outside, “Su Yunjin, Xiaofu is your cousin, and yet you ruin her reputation . What are your intentions? If your parents don’t know how to discipline you, this old woman will properly take them to task today for your disasters!”
Su Xiaofu was dragged to the Governor’s Office by Mrs. Liang, who adamantly accused Xiaofu of stealing her hairpin. Fearing imprisonment, Xiaofu confessed that the hairpin was a gift from Fan Wenxuan. When the Magistrate summoned Fan Wenxuan for questioning, he admitted the truth about the hairpin. Although this corroborated that Xiaofu was not a thief, the scandal of her secret exchanges with Fan Wenxuan was now known to the entire village, utterly ruining Xiaofu’s reputation.
But that wasn’t all—Fan Wenxuan had once been Su Yunjin’s fiancé. Today’s commotion had spread the news about Xiaofu trying to snatch her cousin’s fiancé.
Ever since leaving the Governor’s Office, Xiaofu could hear people cursing her for being shameless, blaming Su Yunjin for ruining her reputation.
Angry and humiliated, Xiaofu returned home intent on settling scores with Su Yunjin.
“I’ll go see what’s happening!” Hearing the ongoing screaming and shouting outside, aware that Xiaofu and Mrs. Tao were there to confront her, Su Yunjin spoke to Gu Ya and then stepped towards the door.
Gu Ya quickly followed her out.
