Su Erlang clenched his fist and said, “The plan to frame others was mine and my father’s idea, my grandfather was unaware of it!”

Su Can was stunned.

Su Erlang lowered his eyes and gritted his teeth, “My grandfather only…… helped my elder brother send Yuniang away. I held a grudge in my heart, so my father and I came up with a plan to vent out anger on behalf of our Old Su family.”

After he finished speaking, he turned and knelt before Old Mr. Su with a thud.

“Yeye*, it was my idea, you should punish me!”

*Yeye (爷爷) : Paternal grandfather, father’s father.

Seeing his son kneel, Su Can also reacted and knelt beside him.

He said to Old Mr. Su, “No no no, dad, it was my idea! You should punish me! Erlang has been frail since childhood, and almost died several times. He can’t withstand our family’s strict discipline ah!”

The father and son acted in unison, completely absolving Old Mr. Su of any involvement.

Old Mr. Su was the head of the Old Su family and the most respected figure in the surrounding villages.

As long as he wasn’t implicated, the reputation of the Old Su family could still be saved.

People had a deeply ingrained positive image of the Old Su family. When they helped the villagers in the past, Old Mr. Su was also involved.

He and his father brought back cartloads of grain, distributing it door to door.

They chewed on bran and wild vegetables themselves, and they wouldn’t let their fellow villagers go hungry.

Those who had lived through that famine were deeply grateful to the Old Su family.

As long as Old Mr. Su didn’t admit it, they would believe it, and wouldn’t dare to question it.

“Go home and kneel down.” Old Mr. Su said in a deep voice.

“Yes, yeye.” Su Erlang tugged on Su Can’s sleeve.

Father and son stood up, helping each other.

Old Mr. Su then said to Lizheng*, “I failed to teach them well and almost wronged the Su family, it was indeed my fault.”

*Lizheng (里正) : An official position in ancient china, mainly in charge of household registrations and tax payment.

“Ah, this……” Lizheng scratched his head.

Old Mr. Su then looked at Su Xiaoxiao, “Daya, when your father returns, I will personally come to apologize, but Yuniang……”

Su Yuniang leaned closer to Su Xiaoxiao.

She had taken a brave step, but deep down, the deep fear of Old Mr. Su still remained.

Perhaps in the near future, she would be able to completely let go.

But for now, she was still somewhat affected.

Su Xiaoxiao gently supported her shoulder and said calmly to Old Mr. Su, “Yuniang has already divorced her husband. According to the law of the Great Zhou, a divorced woman may return to her natal family if she is accepted by her natal family or establish her own household.”

The mention of establishing her own household made Old Mr. Su’s face change instantly.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t give him any respect and continued, “Old Su, do you want to stay here and settle our scores, or leave Yuniang here and take your son and grandson back home immediately?”

There had been enough disgrace today, and the more they said, the more mistakes would be made. Old Mr. Su couldn’t stay any longer.

Otherwise, if their flaws were exposed, there would be no way to cover them up.

He coldly glanced at Su Yuniang, flicked his sleeves and left!

The person had returned safely, and the drama had come to an end. The villagers were ready to go home and digest the big drama they had seen today.

However, Su Yuniang was grateful to the villagers for searching for her throughout the night.

To show her appreciation, she generously bought all of Su Xiaoxiao’s snacks today and distributed them to everyone once they were ready.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Wu had just started steaming the snacks.

The rich aroma of butter and meat emanated from the kitchen, making everyone’s mouths drool.

Su Yuniang’s gratitude was genuine, so was her ability to win people’s hearts over.

“Sigh, Yuniang, you are such a good girl. It’s the Zheng family that doesn’t have the fortune to keep you. Don’t think too much about it. Just live your life well.”
