Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 541
Chapter 541 Got A Clue
When Madam Hua saw Sue Wanwan, he immediately pointed at her and said, “She’s Sue Wanwan! Everyone, catch her!”
Everyone was about to rush over. Su Wanwan put her hands behind her back and looked coldly at these people. “Is this how your village treats people? Let me ask you, is what she said true or not? The government still has more evidence. Don’t you care about evidence? Are you older than the officials of the government?”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned and became silent.
Madam Hua pointed at Su Wanwan and was speechless. A man in his fifties walked out of the crowd with a full face and said, “Then you said you didn’t do it. Do you have any evidence? If you didn’t do it, we will charge you with this crime today. It’s still a small matter to immerse you in a pig cage!”
“Heh, I have a witness.” Su Wanwan said, glimpsing Li Chuan coming out from inside, she said, “Young Master Li, please bear witness for me. When you went to write for me that day, did you see me take out a few gold and silver threads to buy medicine for Auntie Hua?” Think about it, everyone should know the value of the golden and silver threads. They are very precious! Is that enough for the medicine? “I also gave them the rest of the money. I didn’t ask where I was going. You guys are saying that I’m unkind and unjust. Isn’t that a bit too’serious’?”
“Is this true?” The old man questioned Madam Hua with a dark face.
“It’s not true!” Hua shi said.
“It’s true!” Li Chuan said.
The two of them actually spoke in unison. One was a woman and the other was Li Chuan. Both of them spoke loudly, but their credibility was different. Li Chuan, as a child student, was the most trusted person under the village chief.
Everyone was stunned by Li Chuan’s words and began to discuss, “How could Li Tongsheng lie to others? He is not that kind of treacherous person!”
“That’s right! I also find it strange! I was there yesterday, and I heard that there was a big daughter-in-law in their family, a young miss from a wealthy family. But … yesterday, when I saw Miss Su outside, it was clearly not that big daughter-in-law!”
“I’m also surprised! I went to her house this morning, but I didn’t see anyone else! Could it be that … I can’t think of a way to get some benefits?”
“…”
Everyone’s words became more and more unpleasant to hear, and they guessed which woman was the person who was locked up in the room yesterday. Their words became more and more inappropriate, and they guessed who the person who was in the room yesterday was.
Su Wanwan looked at Hua shi who was so frightened that her face turned pale, and said, “I hope your son saved me and gave me the gold and silver threads. Now, you and I will take a step back. I will not tell you the truth of yesterday, and you, do not pester me.”
Madam Hua lowered his head and pondered for a while. Thinking of marrying his daughter, he chuckled at the crowd and said, “Everyone, today is just a misunderstanding! Actually, it’s not that serious. Just give it to her!”
As he spoke, he actually slipped out of the crowd and left. Everyone let out a sigh and then dispersed.
Only Li Chuan and Su Wanwan were left. Immediately, Su Wanwan did not want to go out and said to Li Chuan, “Young Master Li, can you borrow ink, paper, ink stone and brush to paint with me? Also, is there a place in the village that sells paper and brushes?”
“What do you want to do?” Li Chuan asked doubtfully.
“I want” Su Wanwan opened her red lips and did not say anything that suddenly made her ear-piercing.
“You can’t even think about it! You’re guilty of thinking about it!” A woman in a pink dress walked over. Seeing that Su Wanwan was like this, she said angrily, “Is my son something you can think of?”
Su Wanwan raised her eyebrows. Seeing that this woman had beautiful eyes that looked like water, she looked like she was only in her early twenties. Looking at her outfit, she was not someone other people could compare to.
This woman was somewhat similar to Li Chuan. Su Wanwan smiled and said, “How dare you ask? Madam, did you misunderstand? I have a husband. Don’t talk nonsense. Li Chuan and I are innocent.”
She actually had a husband? Li Chuan was stunned, and then he heard the woman say, “What innocence! I clearly heard my daughter say that you went home with my son yesterday!”
Su Wanwan was so shocked that she was so calm! Li Chuan’s face turned red, and he said, “Mother, Miss Su has a husband. Don’t think too much about it. Yesterday, she went back to the Hua Clan, and then the Hua Clan …”
As he said that, Li Chuan whispered to the woman for a while. Only then did the woman understand and said, “So that’s how it is! That’s my misunderstanding.”
After saying that, the woman apologized to Su Wanwan. After that, she saw that Su Wanwan was generous. Hearing that Su Wanwan was a young lady, she immediately welcomed Su Wanwan in and said, “Miss Su, now that you have nowhere to go, you can stay at my house.”
“Thank you, aunt.” Su Wanwan smiled and replied, “When I return home, I will definitely repay my aunt’s kindness.”
“It doesn’t matter whether you repay me or not.” The woman smiled as she entered the room, wanting to chat with Su Wanwan about the family matters. However, Su Wanwan said, “Auntie Feng, do you know who picked up a man in the neighborhood?”
After saying that, Su Wanwan stood up and gestured in the air, “Probably this tall, fair, her eyes shining like obsidian, her hair tied up, and there was a crescent-white hairpin stuck in her head.”
Hearing Su Wanwan’s description, Li Chuan’s mother, Feng shi, confirmed that Su Wanwan was a woman from a wealthy family. However, she became suspicious of the person Su Wanwan was talking about and said, “I haven’t heard anyone pick up a person recently.”
As he said that, Madam Feng looked at Li Chuan again, “I went out less and didn’t hear much. Have you heard of it?”
Li Chuan also shook his head and said, “I have never heard of it either, but I have heard that the daughter of our village’s landlord Xu bought a servant from outside a few days ago. That servant is similar to what you said, and he is also very beautiful. Unfortunately, his brain is a little bad.”
“Really?” Su Wanwan’s heart skipped a beat and she asked, “Have you seen it before?”
“Never.” Li Chuan shook his head.
Thinking about the reason why her brain might have gone bad, Su Wanwan and Li Chuan took some ink, paper, and inkstone to draw Qi Chengfeng’s portrait. However, after drawing a few strokes, she realized that she could not draw anything. She couldn’t help but hate her painter and wanted Li Chuan to draw. However, the difference between Li Chuan’s and Qi Chengfeng’s faces was very big.
After a while, Su Wanwan sat down. After a while, she asked Li Chuan for directions and planned to go to Landlord Li’s house alone. Li Chuan said, “I’ll accompany you. Landlord Xu has some influence. If you go alone, you might …”
“What are you doing?” Madam Feng glared at Li Chuan. “Miss Su said that she has a husband. Now that you are alone, if you go over together, if you really see Miss Su’s husband, you can’t help but cause others to misunderstand! Also, you are usually scolded for speaking up for the villagers who sell goods to the Xu Family. Now that you go back, Miss Su is affected, I wonder if you can go in!”
“Aunt Feng’s words make sense.” Su Wanwan nodded her head and thanked Li Chuan. Then she left and gathered her broken hair. She walked quickly and whispered, “Chengfeng, I’m coming.”
