General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming novel Chapter 197

197 Su Yuan’s Wrath

Su Yuan rubbed the jade pendant in his hand and looked at Old Master Su without blinking.

At this moment, he no longer looked gentle and kind. He had the aura and edge of a superior. “Are you sure your family sold another jade pendant back then?”

Old Master Su was respected in the village, but in front of the vassals of the capital, he was just a lowly peasant.

Cold sweat broke out uncontrollably.

He didn’t know how to answer.

Su Yuan said fiercely, “You know very well that the jade pendant doesn’t belong to your family. Let me ask you one last time. Did you sell another jade pendant back then?”

Su Xiaoxiao was holding a left pendant. The Su family had sold a right pendant.

Back then, when Qin Che returned to the capital to acknowledge the Qin family, he had the right pendant.

Su Yuan said coldly, “Do you know that this is a gift from the emperor? Selling it privately is a capital crime!”

Old Master Su’s legs went weak and he staggered!

Su Yuan said, “If you answer truthfully, I won’t pursue the matter.”

Old Master Su confessed. “I… I did sell it! I sold it with my father…”

In front of a duke, Old Master Su could not resist at all.

Su Yuan continued, “Who did you sell it to?”

Old Master Su replied, “A businessman. I don’t know who he is. My father went to talk to him. I waited outside. From that person’s accent, he doesn’t sound local. After that, we haven’t seen him again, so if you insist on asking me who he is, I really can’t answer.”

When had Old Master Su ever been so humble?

It was really satisfying to see.

Su Yuan continued, “Where did you get the jade pendant you sold?”

The village head looked at Old Master Su nervously. He had vaguely guessed something, but he was unwilling to face it.

After all, this was someone he and the entire village had respected for 30 years…

Old Master Su secretly clenched his fists.

He began to regret his plan today.

Had he known that he would meet a noble from the capital, he would not have gone to the Su family to court death.

Old Master Su closed his eyes and said, “It, it fell from Su Cheng’s body… He was still young. I don’t know where he picked up half a rotten steamed bun. Before he could take a bite, it was snatched by a few refugees. His jade pendant… fell at that time.”

Su Yuniang said, “Why didn’t you stop them?”

Old Master Su said, “There were so many refugees. Could we control them?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Then what’s the difference between stealing and you picking up my father’s thing and not returning it to him?”

Old Master Su’s face turned green and red.

It was too late to regret it now. The reputation of the Su family had been torn apart by this noble from the capital.

The reputation he was so proud of was actually so fragile in front of absolute power!

He was like a frog in a pond. So what if a group of small fish and shrimps admired him for many years?

When an eagle flew over from the sky and flapped its wings, it could flip the entire pond!

He looked at Su Cheng again.

Su Cheng was stunned.

Old Master Su thought of what the noble had said. This was a gift from the emperor.

If this was an item bestowed by the emperor, then where did Su Cheng come from?

He seemed… to have been wrong all along.

He was wrong. So was his father.

They thought that the child would not survive.

If they had known earlier, they would have adopted Su Cheng…

Old Master Su’s thoughts had never been so chaotic. Countless ridiculous thoughts appeared in his mind.

However, it was too late now.

“Zheng Guang, take them away first.”

“Yes!”

Zheng Guang took the Su family away.

Su Yuan had something more important to verify in his heart. He turned to look at Su Cheng’s eyebrows, which were identical to his aunt’s. “Where did you get your jade pendant?”

Su Cheng said openly, “Oh, I picked it up.”

A trace of disappointment flashed across Su Yuan’s eyes. “Where did you pick it up?”

Su Cheng said, “I don’t remember. Anyway, I’ve had this jade pendant since I can remember.”

These words made Su Yuan’s eyes light up again. “Could it be… that you didn’t pick it up?”

Su Cheng scratched his head. “I heard you say just now that this thing has quite a background. If I didn’t pick it up, could it be my own? I’m not afraid of you laughing at me. I was a cowherd when I was young!”

Hearing how Su Cheng had grown up, for some reason, Su Yuan’s heart suddenly ached. “Where are your parents?”

Su Cheng said, “I don’t have parents.”

Su Yuan was stunned.

...

Su Xiaoxiao explained, “My father wandered here 30 years ago. He can’t remember much about his childhood. Actually, I also suspected that this jade pendant belonged to my father, but when you said that it was a gift from the emperor just now, it shouldn’t be.”

No matter what, it was impossible for her father to be related to the royal family, right?

Su Yuan hurriedly said, “It’s not a gift from the emperor. I was just scaring that family.” _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}

Uh, was he so scheming?

Su Xiaoxiao said, “So were you helping us out just now?”

Of course, Su Yuan was not trying to help the Su family out, but there were some things that he could not say yet.

He looked at Su Cheng again. “Can I ask when your birthday is?”

…

On the field, Wei Ting was helping Old Li plow the ground.

Old Li accidentally sprained his waist. Wei Ting passed by and came over to help.
