Chapter 4 Publicly Falsely Accusing Qingbao's Mother

Chapter 4 Publicly Falsely Accusing Qingbao's Mother

"Yes, I know. The Su family has never liked Mother and Qingbao. Mother told others that she was going to take Qingbao back to the clan's ancestral home to pray for Father's well-being in order to protect Qingbao, right?"

As Qingbao spoke, her little face was filled with emotion, and her big, bright eyes were glistening with tears.

"Qingbao knows all this, Qingbao is different now."

Si He and General Su were childhood sweethearts. Si He was taken back by the Si family to marry General Su, but she didn't cry when a sister was forcibly placed in her arms.

She didn't cry when the Su family was bullied, she didn't cry when she was forced by a man, and she didn't cry when people were attacked.

She almost burst into tears when her daughter spoke her mind.

When her daughter was one year old, her husband took his concubine to the border. She overheard Old Madam Su's speculation that Qingbao was a jinx.

Madam Su revealed her plan to harm Qingbao.

Therefore, under the pretext of praying for her husband's safety, Sihe took her daughter back to the ancestral home of the Su family clan, Sujia Village.

This courtyard was where Sihe's adoptive parents used to live. She settled here with her daughter, and the mother and daughter depended on each other for survival, living a hard life.

Unexpectedly, on the very night her husband returned in triumph, she and her daughter suffered this calamity.

Her heart was breaking. Fearing that her daughter would be hurt and feel inferior, she had kept it a secret from her daughter for the past two years, weaving beautiful dreams for her and not letting her know that the Su family did not love her.

Now Qingbao can see clearly, and she is not sad at all; her eyes are full of heartache for her mother.

Si He hugged her tightly and pressed his face against her soft little face.

The mother and daughter seemed to have regained their strength and support.

Outside the courtyard.

It took Madam Su a long time to calm Su Mengmeng down, and she even praised her for being sensible.

"Mengmeng is so sensible. She suffered such a serious injury, but she only cried for a while and then felt better, unlike that..."

The one she was referring to was Qingbao.

Last time, she only taught Sihe a lesson, and Sihe fainted. Qingbao cried for a whole day, making a huge fuss.

"Grandmother, when Father and Mother come back, remember to tell them that Mengmeng accidentally hurt herself, and it has nothing to do with Qingbao."

Su Mengmeng spoke sweetly and obediently to Old Madam Su, her eyes still filled with grievance, which melted everyone's heart.

"How can we not speak up? Grandmother saw her pressing you down and throwing you to the ground with her own eyes. How could she have wronged her?" The more Madam Su thought about it, the angrier she became.

After being raised in the countryside for two years, people have become wild and unruly.

Just like her mother who raised her in the countryside, she's utterly useless!

“When your father comes back, both she and her mother will be kicked out of the Su family. Qingbao will no longer be your sister. You don’t need to care about her feelings.”

Having done such a thing, what face do they still have?

When Zi returned a little while later, he simply left Sihe and her lover there together.

It's hard for this mother and daughter to avoid being divorced.

After careful consideration, Madam Su figured that the time was about right.

Just then.

The sound of gongs and drums came from outside the village, and the villagers on night watch rushed over, shouting with joy:

"General Su has returned to Su Family Village! General Su has returned in triumph!!!"

In an instant, countless red flags fluttered and lanterns lit up, and Sujia Village was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, just like New Year's Eve.

Old Madam Su stood up tremblingly, tears welling in her aged eyes. She had her servant help her and cried out emotionally:

"Quickly, take me to meet my son!"

"Mother!" Su Xiao dismounted and quickly walked over, kneeling before his mother.

Old Madam Su helped him up, her eyes filled with tears. "Get up quickly, my son, you've lost weight."

After two years of trials and tribulations, Su Xiao's originally handsome face now showed more maturity and fortitude.

He picked up Su Mengmeng and kissed her, a happy smile on his face.

"By the way, where is Si Yao? Why isn't she here?" Old Madam Su asked about Si Yao.

Si Yao is Su Mengmeng's biological mother, and she is the beloved daughter of both the Si and Su families.

But she was not delicate at all; on the contrary, she was highly skilled in martial arts and had a straightforward personality, which made her popular with everyone.

When Su Xiao mentioned Si Yao, his eyes filled with a doting smile. He said, "She's a filial daughter; she sent the good news back to the Si family first."

"By the way, Mother, where are Sihe and the others?"

Before my eyes, my mother and many members of the clan have come, even three-year-old Mengmeng has come.

But Sihe and her daughter were nowhere to be seen.

When Si He and her daughter were mentioned, Old Madam Su's face stiffened. "Xiao'er, you need to be mentally prepared."

These words were spoken.

Su Xiao's face fell. "What do you mean?"

Madam Su hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

Su Xiao then looked at the old woman beside him and the villagers.

The old woman couldn't bear it any longer, so she said, "The general's wife hasn't been in the village all day."

"Some people say that when she came back, she went up the back mountain with a man, and she hasn't returned since..."

"The clan chief has already led men to arrest them. As for whether the two were having an affair, that remains to be seen..."

These words were spoken.

Su Xiao's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"You mean, she left her daughter alone at home and went to the back mountain to have an affair with a man?" a villager asked indignantly.

The old woman quickly waved her hand, "I didn't mean that."

It seems the misleading tactic worked.

The villagers immediately cursed, "You shameless woman! Your husband is fighting on the front lines, protecting our country and risking his life, and she's cheating on the general!"

"Exactly! Enjoying the position of a general's wife and living a life of wealth and luxury that men have worked so hard for, she is so shameless!"

"General Su, if this is true, you must have her drowned in a pig cage!"

"Yes, drown them in a pig cage!"

The villagers were already furious just listening to it.

Because Sihe's husband was General Su, she lived in Sujia Village for two years, and everyone took good care of her.

I never expected her to do something like this.

This is absolutely outrageous!

"The matter is still under investigation, so please refrain from making any further speculations. After all, Sihe is my Su family's daughter-in-law, and we should not tarnish her reputation."

Old Madam Su feigned concern and spoke up for Su He.

Her gaze inadvertently fell upon a few clusters of firelight coming down the mountain path, and she knew that the clan chief and his men must have caught the adulterous couple and brought them down the mountain.

"Is there any need to guess? Following a man up the back mountain at night, what else could it be but adultery?"

"That's right, Madam. You are a kind-hearted woman. We can't let the General's reputation be ruined by this daughter-in-law on his first day of triumphant return."

"Yes, drowning her in a pig cage will preserve General Su's reputation."

"I'll go home and get my pig cage right now. Our Su Family Village can't tolerate a woman like this." Aunt Ba immediately shouted as she went home to get the pig cage.

But at this moment.

A voice rang out from the courtyard.

"What's all the noise about so late at night?"

Si He came out of her house with her hair still loose, clearly indicating that she had just woken up.

Madam Su's pupils dilated, and the cane in her hand fell to the ground with a thud.
