Chapter 394: Together
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Nonsense.” He Yulan didn’t like to hear Big Brother belittle himself. “We grew up together. I know your abilities very well. You’ve always been smart since you were young, quick-witted, and skilled. I don’t think Zhou Hengyang is any better than you. Moreover, no matter how good Zhou Hengyang was, he was still Su Xiu’s brother-in-law… Wait, could it be that Su Xiu…’
He Yulan was shocked by her guess.
“Don’t talk nonsense.” He Changming, who was in a low mood and didn’t even want to say anything, didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at his sister’s wild thoughts. “That’s not the case. How did you learn to be a gossiper like those idle chatterers when you married into the Trinity village?”
“I didn’t.” He Yulan also realized that she was getting ahead of herself. She must have been influenced by the scandalous storied she heard about Zhu Yueju’s past. She knew better than anyone what Su Xiu’s attitude towards Su
Wen was.
She had more respect for her Big sister than for her biological mother.
“Alright then! I know I was wrong. I won’t spout nonsense in the future.” He Yulan apologized and asked curiously, “Since Su Xiu rejected you, why did you stay at her place for dinner? That must have been uncomfortable! Besides, our family doesn’t lack food.”
“How were your cooking skills? Don’t you know?”
“Big brother…” She was angered to death by Big brother. Who would say that about his sister? “Then it’ll be very awkward for you to stay!”
“It’ll be even more awkward if I leave.” He Changming wasn’t a man who couldn’t afford to lose, nor was he a person who would complain and give up on himself after being rejected by the person he liked. Zhou Hengyang and Su Wen gave him a chance to speak, but Su Xiu didn’t.
Perhaps the little girl was still not enlightened, or perhaps he had pushed her too hard.
That was why he had scared her. “So you’re just going to leave it at that?”
Although he was very sad to be rejected, he did not intend to give up just like that. Su Xiu was still young. He had originally planned to quietly wait until she was ready for marriage before formally proposing. However, the intrusion of human traffickers and the fire at the Su family’s home had thrown his plans into disarray. He felt an urgent need to marry her and away from any danger or fear.
In the end, he was just too anxious.
The next day, as the party involved, Su Wen brought Su Xiu, Su Qing, and Su Sixth sister to the police station as witnesses. The three sisters took notes separately and described what happened the night before in detail. During this period, they were asked numerous questions, including what Su Xuefang said during her last visit home.
The questioning was very thorough.
Su Wen, in particular, was repeatedly questioned. As the one who had first discovered the thief and had been involved in the events that followed, she was able to provide the clearest account of what had transpired that night.
Su Wen had already mentally prepared herself before she came. She was not afraid and told him everything happening that night, including who had set the fire in the courtyard.
Regarding this matter, Su Wen confessed without hesitation.
She admitted that she was the one who had set the fire and explained the conversation she had overheard before setting the fire, as well as her reasons for doing so. Surprisingly, she wasn’t criticized for her actions but was praised. As for what had happened to Tian Yong, that question seemed almost trivial in comparison.
In the end, it was clear that the Tian brothers had engaged in many wrongdoings and brought their downfall upon themselves. Fortunately, Su Wen had blown the matter up so that these human traffickers could be brought to justice.
By the time the sisters had completed their statements that morning, it was already afternoon.
Zhou Hengyang and Xu Xiaoxiao were already impatient from waiting outside. When they saw Su Wen come out, they waved at her. “Come here, this way.” As he spoke, he pointed at the inconspicuous side door..
