Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Picking Someone Up
“Enough! All of you, shut up! You’re giving me a headache!”
Mrs. Shen, filled with irritation and confusion, was looking for an outlet for her anger when Su Xiaofu’s family ran headlong into her line of fire, naturally reaping no benefits.
She blamed her own son Su Mingfu for being incompetent, not even able to handle Gu Ya—an invalid. Her complexion turned sour as she spoke, “Useless trash, Gu Ya is just a cripple, and you—healthy and with the help of your brother—still can’t best him? What use is there in raising you?”
When the matter was raised, Su Mingfu also felt aggrieved. He just couldn’t understand why Gu Ya, that cripple, was so formidable in a fight. By the time he realized what was happening, he had already been overpowered by Gu Ya!
Su Mingfu remained silent!
After berating them, Mrs. Shen’s anger subsided slightly.
“Xiaofu is my own granddaughter, isn’t she? As if I don’t know! The one I intend to sell is that wretch Su Ningxiu, how would I ever push Xiaofu into such a pit of fire?”
She had cherished Su Xiaofu for so many years.
In the end, Mrs. Shen still loved her own granddaughter.
“That’s a relief, as long as you’re not selling Xiaofu to Master Huang to be his concubine, that’s all that matters.” Hearing this, both Su Mingfu and Su Xiaofu exhaled a sigh of relief simultaneously.
Especially Su Xiaofu, just having been scared to the point of weakness, now felt her strength gradually returning.
While Su Zhongshi and Mrs. Shen fretted inside the house, afraid Mrs. Shen and company would come back for more trouble, Su Yunjin smiled confidently, “Father, Mother, don’t worry. After what just happened, grandma and Uncle surely won’t come looking for trouble again.”
After all the commotion, Mrs. Shen and her group knew they were no match for Gu Ya, so naturally, they wouldn’t foolishly seek out another beating. At this point, Su Yunjin was not at all concerned that Mrs. Shen would cause further trouble.
Moreover, even if Mrs. Shen did come again, Su Yunjin was not afraid; she had Gu Ya there. If Mrs. Shen dared to come again, then let Gu Ya beat them up once more.
Last time, Su Yunjin felt that the beating hadn’t been harsh enough; if they came again, they should be given a more severe lesson. It couldn’t always be Mrs. Shen initiating trouble; when it was time to fight back, they needed to take strong action so that Mrs. Shen would realize she could no longer push them around as before.
Su Yunjin guessed right. After causing a scene during the day, Mrs. Shen and Su Mingfu indeed had not troubled Su Yunjin’s courtyard again.
However, Su Yunjin knew that although it might seem quiet now and Mrs. Shen had stopped pestering them, the issue regarding her second sister Su Ningxiu was far from over.
Given Grandma’s side, there was bound to be trouble brewing.
As expected, the next morning, someone from the Huang Residence arrived. Master Huang sent a butler and a sedan chair to pick up the bride. Since Mrs. Shen had failed to take Su Ningxiu away yesterday, this morning she had hateful intentions, directly calling for Master Huang’s dispatched staff to come to their home to fetch her second sister Su Ningxiu!
“Miss Su, our master has sent me to fetch you. Once you have changed into your bridal garment, please get into the sedan. We wouldn’t want to miss the auspicious time,” the Huang Residence butler eyed Su Ningxiu, noting that she was still dressed normally. He casually handed over the bridal garment Mrs. Shen was holding to Su Ningxiu.
Today Mrs. Shen came alone, without bringing her son and Su Xiaofu. Standing aside, Mrs. Shen’s face showed a smug look as she observed Su Ningxiu. Hmph, now that people from the Huang Residence had come to fetch her, how could Su Ningxiu have any tricks up her sleeve? To refuse the marriage? It seemed she had no choice in the matter now?
