CHAPTER 91: CHAPTER 90: AREN’T YOU GOING TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF?

Sun Fengshou listened to Yu Xiaolian’s words, his eyes lit up, and he said firmly, "Mother, I want to divorce her!"

At this moment, Old Madam Sun also felt a bit conflicted. She looked at her five-year-old grandson, torn inside.

Suddenly, Mrs. Xu rushed in, and with a thud, she knelt down before Sun Fengshou.

"Fengshou, don’t divorce me, I promise to be good to your mother in the future, I’ll listen to whatever you say, really, don’t divorce me." At this moment, Mrs. Xu was truly scared.

If only she’d known it would come to this, why act that way at the start?

Yu Xiaolian did not trust that someone like Mrs. Xu would truly change for the better.

But seeing Mrs. Xu crying with snot and tears all over, she couldn’t bear to add insult to injury.

Yu Xiaolian remained silent, just watching coldly.

As Mrs. Xu cried, the little Tiger on the kang also began to cry.

Old Madam Sun quickly picked up her grandson and soothed him.

Mrs. Xu begged and cried on the ground, but Sun Fengshou was unmoved.

In the end, it was Old Madam Sun who spoke up, "A hundred days of grace for each day as husband and wife; since she’s regretted, shouldn’t you give her a chance to correct her ways?"

"Mother, tell her to go back to the west room, she was eavesdropping outside the door, she can’t change her ways."

Faced with his mother’s indulgence towards Mrs. Xu, Sun Fengshou felt extremely helpless.

Old Madam Sun, while patting little Tiger, continued to persuade, "Consider it on Tiger’s behalf, forgive her this time, after all, these are trifles, she hasn’t committed any major crime."

Yu Xiaolian was speechless.

This Old Madam Sun was truly broad-minded, forgiving all matters under the sky, though her daughter-in-law showed her no respect, constantly barking orders, she still thought it was trivial.

Unlike her, Yu Xiaolian who was too petty couldn’t bear this resentment.

Sun Fengshou helplessly yelled at Mrs. Xu, "Go back to the west room, don’t let me see you."

It seemed, judging by Sun Fengshou’s attitude, this marriage wasn’t going to end.

Yu Xiaolian took out five silver ingots, totaling fifty taels, from her small backpack.

She gestured for silence when Sun Fengshou and Old Madam Sun were about to exclaim in surprise.

Seeing that they understood and kept silent, she whispered, "My mother asked me to give this to you, keep it safely!"

Sun Fengshou grew up never having seen so much silver.

"How on earth did that noble person help your family, how come you have so much silver?" Sun Fengshou couldn’t help but ask.

To give his family fifty taels of silver, it showed Yu Changhe’s family surely had even more money now!

What kind of work could earn such an amount, Sun Fengshou was exceedingly curious.

"Uncle, you don’t need to know how this silver came about, nor can you mention to others that I brought money to you. Especially not that we were in Yangcheng, do you understand?"

Yu Xiaolian thought of Jiang Lin’s mention last time that Yu Zishu had come to the Sun Family looking for her, and urgently asked Sun Fengshou, "Uncle, did Yu Zishu come to your home?"

Sun Fengshou nodded, "He came, brought a bunch of people I didn’t know, even after I said you weren’t here, they didn’t believe me until they searched my home thoroughly."

Yu Xiaolian was alarmed, Yu Zishu surely had an agenda.

Bringing those people, ten to one they were after her.

Yu Xiaolian had to repeatedly urge Sun Fengshou not to bring up her returning, or he could bring trouble to himself.

Sun Fengshou, startled, pursued, "What exactly are you hiding from us? Is it possible Yu Zishu brought them to capture your family of three?"

Yu Xiaolian nodded, "Yes, those people are bad, Uncle, you mustn’t tell others that I came back, otherwise if they capture you and torture you, I won’t be able to save you."

"I promise not to mention it, and I’ll ensure Aunt doesn’t go out spreading the news."

Reassured by Sun Fengshou’s promise, Yu Xiaolian felt much at ease, "I’ll leave at dawn tomorrow, I doubt anyone would see me coming or going, just quietly enjoy these things at home, don’t show off, okay?"

Sun Fengshou nodded in agreement.

After discussing Yu Changhe’s leg injury with Yu Xiaolian, Sun Fengshou finally went back to his room to sleep under Old Madam Sun’s urging.

Old Madam Sun placed the already sleeping little Tiger at the end of the kang, tucking him in well.

After extinguishing the oil lamp, she paced back and forth between the kang cabinet and the wooden box on the floor with the fifty taels, stashing them away.

Unsure where felt safe.

Naturally, the money hiding places and the Mrs. Xu’s habits were alike, truly like mother and daughter, thought Yu Xiaolian with a chuckle.

"You really are something, managing to drive the horse cart by yourself."

Finally assured after hiding away the silver, Old Madam Sun laid down comfortably.

"After traveling the whole day, rest well tonight, I’ll wake you in the morning."

Though she said she’d wake her, Yu Xiaolian dared not sleep too soundly.

As soon as dawn broke in the eastern sky, she had the horse cart ready and set off.

The entire Upper River Bay Village was quiet, even the roosters yet to crow, as Yu Xiaolian left the village.

Passing River Bend Village, Yu Xiaolian halted the horse cart.

Uncertain whether Jiang the Hunter and Jiang Lin had left River Bend Village or not?

Just as she planned on turning the cart around, a freezing voice sounded overhead, "Having told the Jiang Family father and son to escape overnight, yet now delivering yourself right to their doorstep, what’s the rationale?"

"Who?" Yu Xiaolian abruptly pulled on the reins, her whole body tense.

Scanning around, she saw no one, then the rhythmic tapping came from the cart’s roof.

Right after, Su Jingchen leaped down from the rooftop of the cart.

Yu Xiaolian’s jaw almost dropped in shock.

Since when was he atop her cart?

Su Jingchen offered no explanation, pushed the stunned Yu Xiaolian into the cart, took the driving seat, and turned the horse cart around.

"Aren’t you going to explain?" Yu Xiaolian lifted the curtain of the cart, poking her head out.

Su Jingchen, without turning, reached out to push her head back inside.

"Hey, weren’t you trailing me since yesterday morning?"

Su Jingchen’s voice hinted at sarcasm, "You only just realized?"

Yu Xiaolian, "..."

If you hadn’t spoken, I’d never have known.

Cries T﹏T

If Su Jingchen genuinely had nefarious intentions, she’d be dead a hundred times by now?

"Why are you following me?" With a living person aboard the cart, how could she not even notice?

Was she foolish?

"Yesterday morning, overhearing you mention going to Upper River Bay yourself, I wasn’t at ease, so I followed," explained Su Jingchen lightly.

Yu Xiaolian hardly believed it.

Claiming it was overheard, she knew he must’ve been intentionally eavesdropping at the corner.

"Why be so secretive, scaring me to death," Yu Xiaolian complained.

"Your father would never agree!"

Indeed, Yu Changhe would certainly not allow Su Jingchen to accompany her.

"So you stayed on the cart roof since yesterday?" Yu Xiaolian couldn’t fathom, driving the cart while a handsome young man perched atop.

Oh my, what a sight!
