162 Missing
Manager He was tied to the cold ground and lay naked for the entire night. The next day, he caught a cold and had not been to Jin Ji for several days.
Su Ergou showed off his biceps. “Sis, we must have scared him!”
Su Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment. “Hmm… that’s true.”
When the siblings reached home, they did not see Su Yuniang.
After asking Madam Wu, she shook her head. “I went to the river to wash the salted eggs. When I came back, she wasn’t in the house anymore. Oh right, I heard her say that she was going to the county office. Did she go to town?”
Su Xiaoxiao knew about the matter of getting the letter stamped at the county office. She had set up the stall early in the morning and Su Yuniang was still sleeping. Her original plan was to get Liu Ping to send Su Yuniang to town in the afternoon on a donkey cart.
However, he could not rule out the possibility that Su Yuniang could not wait and went to the county office herself.
As for why Su Xiaoxiao didn’t meet her, it wasn’t hard to understand.
The town was so big, and the county office and Jinji were in two different directions. Coincidentally, they had missed each other on the way.
However, Su Yuniang did not return even in the evening.
“Does it take that long to go to the county office?” Su Xiaoxiao muttered and asked Su Ergou to ask Old Li to see when Su Yuniang left the village. freewёbnoνel.com
The village head and Old Li both said that they did not see Su Yuniang leave the village.
This was strange.
If she did not leave the village, where could Su Yuniang have gone?
Could it be that the village head’s family and Old Li’s family happened to not see Su Yuniang go out?
Su Xiaoxiao called Liu Ping over. “Brother Liu, please go to the county office and see if Yu Niang is here.”
“I’ll be right there!”
Liu Ping sat on the donkey cart and the donkey galloped away. This donkey was different from other donkeys. It ate a lot, was strong, and ran fast.
About an hour later, Liu Ping returned to the village.
“The people from the government office said that no young woman came today.”
Madam Wu did not leave. She was also waiting for news of Su Yuniang at the Su family’s house.
She asked, “Could she have… returned to the Zheng family?”
“No.” Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. “Su Yuniang has cut ties with the Zheng family.”
“Old Su?” Su Ergou also expressed his guess.
Su Yuniang had mentioned that she had left some things at the Su family’s house. Her luggage… and some of her private money.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know the exact amount. Su Yuniang didn’t say anything, but it shouldn’t be a small sum.
Su Yuniang hid it very well. She did not even tell Madam Fang.
Therefore, if Su Yuniang wanted to take back her things, she had to go personally.
The Su family should have some luggage left… Su Xiaoxiao thought about it and was about to visit them personally when the Su family came.
It was Su Can and Su Erlang.
The father and son were aggressive as if they were here to tear down the house.
Su Can stood at the door and shouted, “Fatty Su! Where did you hide Yu Niang? Ask her to come out and see me! I have something to say to her!”
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the three of them strangely. “Yu Niang isn’t here.”
She found it strange that Su Yuniang wasn’t in the Su family either.
“Where did Yu Niang go?” Su Can asked.
“I don’t know,” Su Xiaoxiao answered honestly.
Su Can’s expression darkened. “Fatty Su! Su Yuniang has been staying at your house for the past few days. Don’t you know where she is?”
“I just don’t know.” Su Xiaoxiao said calmly.
Su Can said coldly, “Did you deliberately hide her and not let us see her?”
Su Ergou walked out. “Why would we hide? We haven’t seen Sister Yuniang since we came back from town. We wanted to ask you if Sister Yuniang went to your place.”
“Nonsense! Yu Niang isn’t in our Su family at all!” Su Can said to his son, “Erlang, go and ask the village head and Li Xiaoyong if Yu Niang left the village.”
