“Someone in the Su family is finally willing to listen to us. This is great. Son, come and thank this brother.”
Madam Zhang smiled and waved at Yan Wu.
She knew all about the Su family. Zhou Heng was an outsider in the Su family. He should be Su Sanlang’s G.o.dson. No matter who he was, as long as he could talk nicely.
Today’s matter had to be a shoo-in.
Be it reasoning or making a scene, she had expected that she would definitely be able to subdue the Su family.
!!
Yan Wu immediately said to Zhou Heng gratefully, “Thank you, Third Brother.”
This made Su Xiaolu and the others furious.
They almost attacked again.
It was Zhou Heng who comforted them to not panic. Zhou Heng looked at Madam Zhang and Yan Wu. He sneered and said coldly, “Young Master, please, we don’t know each other. Don’t call me that.”
With that, before Yan Wu could speak again, Zhou Heng said loudly, “You came today and kept saying that Su Xiaoling and your son, Yan Wu, fell in love at first sight and exchanged tokens in private. You came up with this plan because the Su family’s parents did not agree, right?”
Madam Zhang and Yan Wu nodded repeatedly.
Madam Zhang said anxiously, “Yes, yes, yes. That’s it. You…”
She still wanted to say something, but Zhou Heng did not give her a chance to speak.
“It’s understandable that you did this in a hurry.”
Zhou Heng interrupted Madam Zhang.
When Madam Zhang heard Zhou Heng’s words, she nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, yes. If there was a way, I wouldn’t be like this. Poor my son. He’s thin and can’t eat or drink. As his mother, my heart aches so much. That’s why I came to beg shamelessly.”
Madam Zhang said emotionally and reasonably. She herself felt very touched.
Zhou Heng waited for her to finish before looking at Madam Zhang and asking, “There’s a reason why you did this today. Then, do you know who I am?”
When Zhou Heng said that, Madam Zhang was stunned for a moment. She was about to ask, “Who are you?” Zhou Heng did not give her a chance to speak.
Zhou Heng did not look at Madam Zhang anymore. Instead, he walked to Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao’s side and held their hands to face all the surrounding neighbors. He said loudly, “I believe everyone is curious about this question. Then, I’ll tell everyone today who I am and why my surname is not Su but stay in the Su family. Why I’m not Su Sanlang’s biological son but call Su Chong and Su Hua brothers.”
When Zhou Heng said that, the surrounding neighbors were curious.
It was no secret that Zhou Heng had a close relationship with the Su family, but he was not the son of Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao. Why?
“Because I am Su Xiaoling’s fiance. Xiaoling and I are childhood sweethearts. We’ve had a deep relationship and liked each other since we were young. I also promised my parents that after the imperial examination ends, I’ll definitely marry Xiaoling in a grand manner. Now that I’m already a High Scholar, the Spring Quarter Examinations are imminent this year. All the good things will come when I work hard and get a good ranking.”
After Zhou Heng finished speaking, he secretly squeezed Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao’s palms. He believed that Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao would definitely understand what he meant.
“Xiaoling is my fiancée. Do you understand?”
Zhou Heng looked at the dumbfounded Madam Zhang and Yan Wu. He curled his lips slightly and revealed a mocking smile.
He looked at Yan Wu and said, “Today, you came here on purpose to insult my fiancée’s reputation. You deserve to die.”
Yan Wu looked at the humble Zhou Heng and felt inferior and ashamed. No matter how he looked at him, he had lost completely. He was actually like a slave in front of Zhou Heng.
Ads by PubFuture Madam Zhang came back to her senses from her shock. She pointed at Zhou Heng and shouted, “You, you’re talking nonsense. You were clearly born by Su Sanlang and some woman. That’s why Su Sanlang raised you.”
“Madam Zhang, you maliciously slandered me, a High Scholar. Can you bear the responsibility for your crimes?”
Zhou Heng’s expression turned cold. He turned around and said to Su Chong, “Ah Chong, report to the officials.”
Su Chong nodded. “Okay.”
With that, he flew out.
When Su Chong went to report to the officials, Madam Zhang and Yan Wu panicked.
Those who came to give gifts together immediately wanted to leave. They had taken the money, but if this was a lawsuit, things would not be simple. Zhou Heng’s words woke everyone up. The Su family had three High Scholars.
These were not ordinary people. They would all be officials in the future, and they were definitely not people ordinary people could casually talk to.
Madam Zhang and Yan Wu attacked first, catching the Su family off guard. For a moment, no one thought of this.
Now that they were awake, they felt their hearts skip a beat.
Su Hua cupped his hands and said loudly, “Neighbors, these people insulted my brothers and sisters. We have to pursue this matter to the end. This matter is really vicious. We have to get to the bottom of it. Please stop them. After this, my Su family will definitely reward you heavily.”
Don’t even think about running away now.
“This, this has nothing to do with us…”
The way out was blocked, and after being beaten up, they were now going to be involved in a lawsuit. The bridegrooms invited by the Yan Family panicked and began to want to break away from this matter.
Madam Zhang came back to her senses and was about to speak up to regain control of the situation when Su Xiaolu went forward and dislocated Madam Zhang’s chin.
Su Xiaolu gritted her teeth and said, “You old witch, how dare you quibble when you’re slandering the High Scholar of the current dynasty? How dare you spout nonsense here? If you have anything to say, tell the officials.”
Su Xiaolu felt that she had finally vented her anger. She was so angry that she forgot her rationality.
When Yan Wu saw this, he was about to speak when Su Xiaolu walked over and kicked him so hard that he could not get up. She narrowed her eyes. “Why don’t you take a p.i.s.s and look at yourself? Can you compare to my third brother, Zhou Heng? My sister is not blind or stupid. Why would she not like Zhou Heng and like you?”
“Pfft, stealing someone’s private property, framing, and insulting a woman’s reputation. It’s really detestable. Fortunately, my third brother and my sister are already engaged. Otherwise, who would be able to say for sure who would be in charge of this matter? I’m afraid only death can prove their innocence. Uncles and Aunties, don’t you think so?”
“Which family doesn’t have a daughter? If it’s because the girl is prettier and the family is more capable and knows that they’re not worthy, they’ll ruin other people’s reputations. If such a vicious and sinister person isn’t punished, who can sleep at night?”
Su Xiaolu scolded Yan Wu and shocked everyone.
Who didn’t have a daughter in their family and whose daughter didn’t need to marry?
If there was no cost to doing evil, then the entire world would be filled with evil people.
The matter was not related to them. Of course, everyone was just watching the show and could gloat. However, it would not be fun if they were involved in the intermediate.
“Xiaolu is right. Such a detestable and vicious person must be severely punished. Otherwise, we won’t be able to eat or sleep in peace. It’s too detestable.”
“That’s right, that’s right. If Xiaoling didn’t have such a good fiancé, I don’t know what they would do. It’s really scary.”
“We have to investigate this carefully. We can’t let such a vicious person off.”
The neighbors who were still watching immediately changed sides. Su Xiaoling had such a good fiancé, but their daughters did not.
