Chapter 133: Chapter 133 Reminder

Mrs. Tao left with her several sons, and when they departed, their glares were so sharp they could eat a person alive. Su Yunjin watched with glee as Mrs. Tao’s old face turned black with rage as if scorched into charcoal.

“Hahahaha!”

Watching the backs of Mrs. Tao and her group slink away in defeat, although their faces were not visible at the moment, Su Yunjin could still imagine the way Mrs. Tao was likely apoplectic with fury, as if spitting blood.

Turning around, Su Yunjin saw Gu Ya looking at her with kind eyes, his earlier coldness towards Mrs. Tao and her abhorrent company gone.

Smiling at Gu Ya, Su Yunjin walked to his side, “My lord, I would have never guessed the extent of your abilities. You alone have frightened my grandmother and my second uncle away!”

Su Xiaobao also felt that his brother-in-law was exceptionally formidable, looking at Gu Ya with admiration, “Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you’re so amazing! I want to be just like you in the future!”

His second sister Su Ningxiu approached Gu Ya, her face full of gratitude, “Brother-in-law, we owe so much to you for today. Without you, our family would have certainly suffered at the hands of my step-grandmother and second uncle.”

Su Ningxiu saw clearly that her second uncle and step-grandmother Mrs. Tao had come armed with ropes, obviously intending to bind her upon their arrival.

If Gu Ya had not been there to stop her step-grandmother just now, it was very likely that by tomorrow she would have been bound and sent to the Huang Residence as a concubine to that near-seventy-years-old Master Huang.

While the Su family was feeling relieved about Gu Ya’s intervention, on the other hand, Mrs. Tao and her group were still fuming as they left.

Especially Mrs. Tao and Su Xiaofu’s father, who were so angry they were practically aflame. Su Xiaofu asked her grandmother, “Granny, what do we do now? That wench Su Ningxiu doesn’t want to marry Old Master Huang, and we failed to take that little wench away. The Huang Residence is coming to fetch someone tomorrow, what if we can’t deliver? Aren’t we going to have to return the money?”

Just the thought of having to give back the silver that was within reach made Su Xiaofu’s heart ache. Her grandmother had promised her that once Su Ningxiu was married off to the Huang Residence, she would use the money from selling Su Yunjin to buy her a set of jewelry.

“Tsk! Return the money? What money is there to return?” Mrs. Tao declared resolutely that Su Ningxiu had to marry and there was no way she would spit out the silver she had in hand.

Even if they couldn’t take Su Ningxiu today, what of it? When the Huang Residence’s people came tomorrow, she would simply direct them to Su Yunjin’s home to kidnap the bride.

The Huang Residence was a wealthy and powerful family in town. What was Gu Ya in comparison? Even if there were ten Gu Yas tomorrow, Mrs. Tao did not believe he could stop the servants from the Huang Residence.

Mrs. Tao was unwavering in her decision not to return the money. Upon recalling what Su Yunjin had said as they were leaving, Su Xiaofu’s face turned pale and she looked at Mrs. Tao anxiously, “Granny, if you don’t return the money, do you really plan to let the Huang Residence take me away?” Su Xiaofu felt a surge of unfairness.

She belonged to Brother Wenxuan, and she was waiting for Fan Wenxuan to pass the Imperial Examination and come to the Su Family to marry her! She didn’t want to marry some decrepit old man who was half in the grave and become his concubine.

“Granny, I don’t want to marry Old Master Huang! Please, don’t make me marry Old Master Huang!” Su Xiaofu was so worried, afraid that her grandmother Mrs. Tao would really marry her off.

Su Mingfu and Su Xiaofu’s mother were also looking at Mrs. Tao, reminding her, “Mother, Xiaofu is your own granddaughter! You can’t push her into a pit of fire!”
