Chapter 162: Could it be the lover? [Please follow up, urge for more, free gifts! ]
Su Qingwan seemed not to notice Liu who was walking hurriedly towards her. She just stared coldly at the three people lying on the ground.
Qing Da and others immediately captured the three people who looked like dead dogs.
"Miss, you are kindhearted. If it were someone else, you would have beaten this little thief to death for stealing things from your house."
When Lin Xiang saw Liu's figure, he smiled and said to Su Qingwan.
It was not until the morning that she learned that a thief had been caught in Helin Courtyard last night. After a careful look, she could barely make out from the bruised and deformed face that the thief was Su Yuejie. She was immediately furious.
The Chengping Marquis Mansion is really outrageous. A big brother actually comes to the third room to steal things. He deserves to be beaten to death.
"Linxiang, how can that be possible? I am a kind person." Su Qingwan said with a faint smile.
Liu was frightened when she heard Su Qingwan's words just now, and then she became even more worried when she heard Linxiang's words.
"What are you going to do?" Liu rushed over and stood in front of Qing Da and others.
The group of people were carrying the three people and were about to walk outside, but they stopped after being stopped by Liu.
"According to our young lady's order, the evil thieves who came to steal things were sent to Jingzhao Yinfu. I guess they might be caned first, and then exiled thousands of miles. But who can blame these three people for being so bold? They actually dared to run to the Marquis's mansion to steal things. It's simply lawless."
As Qingda was speaking, he slapped Su Yuejie's face, which was swollen like a pig's head.
Su Yuejie still had something stuffed in his mouth. He was awakened by the slap. After seeing clearly through his scattered hair that the person standing in front of him was Liu, he immediately started crying.
“Mmmmm, mmm…”
It’s a pity that he couldn’t shout out.
Liu looked at him twice more. Although the man's face was deformed, his figure was exactly the same as her son's. Isn't this Yue Jie!
She let out a roar and pounced on her son.
Su Yuejie's limbs were broken and his body was injured. How could he withstand such an attack from her? His veins popped out in pain and his face turned pale as paper. Beads of cold sweat rolled down his face.
"Ouch..." He groaned in pain.
"What are you doing? Madam, why are you so excited? Could it be that this thief is someone you know? Could it be your lover?"
Qing Da was born a bandit, so he didn't care about the severity of his words. What's more, the other party was from the Liu family, so he had even less scruples.
"Stop talking nonsense! Do you know who you caught? Let him go now." Liu shouted angrily. She was about to untie Su Yuejie's rope, but was pulled away by two strong maids.
"Aunt, what are you doing? We caught these three people red-handed. How can you just let them go?"
Su Qingwan stood up at this moment and looked at Liu. She was very curious about what Liu was going to do now.
Should he directly admit that the person he caught was Su Yuejie? Or should he suppress Su Yuejie's identity and take the blame on himself?
"They are not thieves," Liu said.
"Huh? Are you joking, aunt? They stole things and were caught red-handed, how could they not be thieves? Even if they are not thieves, could they be burglars?" Su Qingwan asked in surprise.
“Mmmm…” Su Yuejie mumbled loudly, and his eyes, which were swollen into slits, tried hard to open, staring at Su Qingwan.
You are the bandit, your whole family is bandits! Don't wrongly accuse me.
Yesterday, he was severely beaten just after he got through the dog hole. He didn't even have time to get his things. It was all Su Qingwan who framed him.
And even if he took the things, so what?
From now on, the entire Marquis' Mansion will belong to him, Su Yuejie. There is nothing he cannot take. Now he is just taking it in advance to spend it. What's wrong with that?
Mrs. Liu was both angry and anxious. Su Qingwan kept putting the blame on his son!
It would be fine if he was just a thief, but they actually accused him of being a bandit. They want to kill Yue Jie directly!
"Qingwan, they are really not thieves. This man is your elder brother Yuejie, and the other two are his servants." Liu said anxiously.
"How is this possible? My aunt must have recognized the wrong person. Although my brother is uneducated, he would not do such a thing as stealing. Moreover, the things they stole were all valuable. The silver notes alone amounted to more than 30,000 taels. They also stole the pearl necklace that my aunt gave me. If my aunt knew about this, I'm afraid it would not be as simple as sending it to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion."
Su Qingwan looked as if she didn't believe what Liu said, which made Liu so angry that her liver ached.
Su Yuejie became even more anxious and kept whining.
Bullshit! It's all bullshit!
He didn't see any banknotes, let alone any pearl necklaces. This was all a frame-up by the little bitch.
"Be the fuck honest, you're just talking nonsense." Qing Da slapped Su Yuejie in the face with his backhand, making his face crooked.
"Don't do anything. I said he is the eldest master!" Liu broke free and took two steps forward to block Su Yuejie.
"Aunt, it's really strange that you defend a thief like this. It makes people suspect that he was instructed by you." Su Qingwan said with a smile.
"Qingwan, I am the head of the Marquis' Mansion. Even if you really caught the thief, you should hand him over to me to deal with him." Liu suppressed her impatience and shouted angrily.
"Just now, my aunt said that this man is my eldest brother. I think you will definitely show favoritism, so they can't give it to you."
Su Qingwan said slowly, she felt that Su Yuejie's miserable look looked quite comforting.
In the previous life, when Su Yuejie had his elder brother's hands and feet broken, did he also admire Su Yuewen's miserable appearance in this way?
"What do you want in exchange for handing the person over to me?" Liu asked loudly.
"Hmm..." Su Qingwan pondered for a moment and said, "That's not true, auntie. We are all family. I lost 30,000 taels of silver notes and some valuable items yesterday. If the silver is returned, I won't care about this matter anymore."
Liu's heart tightened. Su Qingwan started asking for money again, but her son was held in the hands of her people at this time, and she had no choice but to agree.
"How much does that cost?"
"What are you talking about, Aunt? I don't want that. I'm just taking back my own things!" Su Qingwan said directly.
"How many?"
Liu asked word by word, gritting her teeth.
She knew very well that Su Qingwan, this black-hearted little bitch, was going to take advantage of the rich again, but Yue Jie was in her hands, so she had to pay money to avoid disaster.
"It adds up to more than 50,000 taels! We are all family, so I'll round off the amount for my aunt, so let's call it 50,000 taels!"
"Fifty thousand taels? Why don't you just go and rob?" Liu exclaimed.
Nanny Zhou was also shocked. Su Qingwan really dared to make such a request!
"A lot? If this man is really Su Yuejie, isn't he worth fifty thousand taels? It seems that this man is not my eldest brother. Then why is my aunt so anxious to get him away from me? Could he really be my aunt's lover?" Su Qingwan stared at Liu with a shocked expression, as if she was eating melons.
Su Yuejie hummed anxiously, staring at the back of his mother's head. Could she really be reluctant to part with the fifty thousand taels?
Then he stared at Su Qingwan with vicious eyes, "God damned bitch, when did I ever steal even a penny? When I let you go, I will sell you, a bitch, to the most despicable brothel to serve those peddlers!"
Listening to her son's sobbing and wailing, Liu felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. She stared at Su Qingwan, gritted her teeth, and said, "Okay, I promise you!"
"Go and get the money and the things."
Liu gritted her teeth and spoke to Nanny Zhou beside her.
"But that's the eldest lady..."
Nanny Zhou was suddenly shocked!
"Everything has its priorities, go ahead!"
Liu closed her eyes, took out the key and handed it to Nanny Zhou.
This money is Yingxue's dowry and her private treasury. I used the excuse of keeping it for her, but now I have spent it again. I must not let Yingxue know about this!
