Chapter 273 The Su Family
Su family?

Is it the criminal Su family mentioned in the original novel?

Jiang Xiaoxiao asked hesitantly, "May I ask what your maiden name is, Madam?"

“Wanwan.” Su Wanwan wiped away her tears and uttered two words in a muffled voice, “Just call me Wanwan.”

So her name is Su Wanwan...

Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out that this is not the Su family mentioned in the original book.

She remembered that in the original novel, the criminal Su family had only one daughter, named Su Xiangzhu, not Su Wanwan.

She was a terrifying figure that everyone in the capital was afraid of, and a legendary evil woman who brought disaster to the country and the people.

With her own strength, she caused unrest in the entire royal family and turned the Su family, a second-rank official and the chief minister of the cabinet, into a criminal of the court.

I just hope it’s not Su Xiangzhu. Her family has already suffered this disaster because of Shen Que, and she doesn’t want to have anything to do with such a person.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled again: "Sister Wanwan, do you know who sent the group that kidnapped you?"

Su Wanwan shook her head silently.

Jiang Xiaoxiao took a step forward and lowered her voice, "Then do you know that there is a...traitor around you?"

Su Wanwan paused, then lowered her head, still not speaking.

Jiang Wei glanced at her, put down the teacup, and said, "I see that you have almost recovered. I will send you back so that your maids and servants won't worry about you."

"No, no! I don't want to go back, I want to stay here!" Su Wanwan shrank into the corner, like a frightened bird, terrified beyond her control.

It seems that he was really frightened by what happened tonight.

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at her mother helplessly and said, "Mom, don't scare her. Let her stay here tonight."

Jiang Wei curled his lips and said nothing.

Seeing this, Su Wanwan carefully moved behind Jiang Xiaoxiao and grabbed the corner of her clothes with both hands pitifully, as if she was afraid that she would be kicked out.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was a little amused and helpless. She glanced at Su Wanwan's wrist, which was covered with bruises from being strangled by the rope.

She subconsciously took out a box of ointment from the bag on her waist and applied it to her, saying, "Don't be afraid, Sister Wanwan. My mother was just joking. You stay with us tonight. No one will dare to hurt you. You can get off the boat with us tomorrow."

Su Wanwan pursed her lips and said nothing.

She lowered her head to watch Jiang Xiaoxiao applying medicine to her wrist, and suddenly said something out of nowhere: "When I was a child, I was bullied by the family servants, and my sister applied medicine to me in the same way..."

"Ah?" Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had a bad feeling, "Who is your sister?"

"My elder sister died of complications during childbirth..." Su Wanwan lowered her head even lower, her voice choking with sobs, "She died many years ago... She died in front of me."

Jiang Xiaoxiao choked.

Well, she was overthinking it again.

"Sister Wanwan, the dead cannot be brought back to life, please accept my condolences."

"Xiaoxiao, you know that it is the people around me who want to harm me, right?" Su Wanwan suddenly said.

"Ah, uh, yes." Jiang Xiaoxiao was a little confused by Su Wanwan's sudden change of topic. "Sister Wanwan, do you know who it is?"

"I know who it is." Su Wanwan nodded gently, but there was no anger on her face, only deep despair and loss. "She is my dowry maid... I originally thought that she just had some thoughts about the prince, but I didn't expect that she actually wanted to kill me..."

As she spoke, she suddenly covered her face and started crying again: "The Su family must have sent her to kill me. It must be... The Su family hates me so much, they want me to die..."

"That..." Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't dare to make a conclusion easily, and could only say: "Sister Wanwan, don't jump to conclusions before the matter is clear. Maybe it's just... a misunderstanding?"

Su Wanwan sobbed and said, "Then what should I do? Xiaoxiao, what should I do..."

Jiang Xiaoxiao patted her hands and comforted her: "We will soon know why the maid killed you. It's just that -"

She narrowed her eyes and suddenly looked at a sneaky figure in front of the door not far away. "You need to cooperate with us in a play."

……

The sky gradually brightened and the sea breeze that had been blowing all night gradually subsided.

Yu Ying'er paced back and forth in the room anxiously.

Just as Jiang Xiaoxiao expected, she had already sent a message to Yu Scarhead, asking him to drug the robbers under the pretext of delivering water to them and get rid of them.

At least make them speechless.

But Yu Scarhead has not returned yet.

She was extremely anxious. Could something have gone wrong?

She was extremely anxious, and Yu'er and the maids and servants over there were so worried that they couldn't sleep all night.

Therefore, Yu Ying'er's anxiety did not seem particularly noticeable.

She looked at the sky outside which was gradually brightening, and the sea surface not far away was stirred up into a light blue by the rolling oars.

This means that the mall has reached the shallow sea area and will be able to reach the shore soon.

Once she reaches the shore, she's done!

No!

She must not let this happen!

Yu Ying'er bit her lips tightly, turned around and left the room.

Yu'er quickly called out to her, "Sister Ying'er, where are you going?"

Yu Ying'er turned around and forced a stiff smile on her face: "I'm a little hungry, let me go to the kitchen to order something to eat."

"I have some cakes and pastries that Madam gave me. If you're hungry, eat some first." Yu'er said as she stepped forward and grabbed Yu Ying'er's hand to stop her from leaving. "We still have to wait here for Madam to come back. It's best if you don't go anywhere."

Yu Ying'er tried to struggle twice but failed to break free. She didn't know where this little girl Yu'er got so much strength from.

"Yu'er, let me go first. I won't go." She could only say.

Yu'er didn't let go, but winked at the old woman next to her. The old woman understood and immediately stepped forward to lock the door.

"No one of us is allowed to go out before the Madam comes back, in case the Madam comes back and can't find anyone."

Yu Ying'er looked at the closed door and the old woman putting the key into her waist bag, her eyes full of despair.

……

at the same time.

The door of the room where the robbers were held was crowded with people.

Yu Scarhead knelt on the deck and knocked his head heavily on the ground: "I did all this. I was obsessed with money. I hired people to rob money. If you want to arrest someone, arrest me."

There was a look of determination on his face.

Jiang Xiaoxiao stood beside her mother and said in a feigned anger, "Okay, so it was you who hired the person! Did you know that the lady you drugged was pregnant and has already had a miscarriage. She's going to die!"

Yu Scarhead's face turned pale instantly: "How is it possible?! I, I clearly switched the medicine..."

It turned out that he had replaced the medicine.

Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly realized, no wonder Su Wanwan didn't faint.

But she still pretended to be angry: "How dare you do such a despicable thing and still dare to quibble!"

Mr. Bai next to him was also angry: "Don't try to quibble. As soon as the boat docks, I will go there in person and send you and the robbers to the government office!"
