Lady Su’s Revenge

“The competition between Su Li and Lecturer Cui has disrupted the school’s environment. Now Su Li and Lecturer Cui are ordered to go home to introspect and wait for the results.”

Just going home to introspect!

Mei Ruohan and Guo felt relieved at the same time and said, “It seems that the headmaster is still a bit sturdy. Otherwise, based on the character of the Yang Family, you must be driven out!”

After Su Li read it, the manservant immediately said, “The headmaster ordered that in order to prevent the Yang Family from troubling you, he had arranged a carriage to escort you home tonight.”

Su Li gently nodded and said with a smile, “The headmaster is really nice. I feel so grateful.”

The manservant’s cheeks were red and he scratched his head. Miss Su was so beautiful when she smiled... Unfortunately, such a beautiful and talented girl was hated by a villain.

That night, Su Li said goodbye to Mei Ruohan and Guo and left with the Dictionary of Dahan.

It was so dark and the carriage walked slowly. Until the morning, Su Li returned to the Baiwei Building. Mammy Li was cleaning the room for the miss. Although the miss was not here, she would feel uncomfortable without cleaning it.

Suddenly, Mammy Li heard the familiar footsteps behind her. She looked back with surprise and saw the miss. She immediately put down the broom and said with surprise, “Miss, why do you come back so soon? How about the Muyang Girls’ School? Miss, have you been wronged? How about taking me with you next time?”

Su Li was able neither to cry nor to laugh because of Mammy Li’s questions. She passed by Mammy Li and then sat down and offered herself a cup of tea. She said, “Mammy Li, I will not go to the school temporarily. If you want to go, you can ask Zipei.”

Mammy Li’s expression slightly changed and she said nervously, “What happened? I remember that when you left, you said that in Muyang Girls’ School the study would be very hard at beginning and if you had time, you would visit the Baiwei Building later. Why do you come back after only three or four days?

Su Li shook her head in silence. What happened was complicated. How could it be clear with a few words?

Soon, the message that Su Li had come back was known by all members of the Baiwei Building. Although nobody learned the reason why Su Li came back so fast, they were very happy. The Baiwei Building without Su Li had no backbone. Although it could work normally, people felt a little uncomfortable.

“Miss, I have something to tell you.”

When Su Li was about to deal with the orders of precious Beggars’ Chicken, He Shi come out hesitantly. He had a guilty look.

Su Li was a little puzzled but said nothing. She went to the balcony in the attic which was empty.

Seeing Su Li’s figure from the back, He Shi sighed deeply and plodded up. Su Li heard a “plop” sound behind her before she responded.

She turned back in astonishment and found that He Shi was kneeling down in front of her!

“Miss, I am sorry!”

A little bit of tears flashed in He Shi’s eyes. He sighed, “The Su Family found that I could cook the precious Beggars’ Chicken. They asked me to be responsible for cooking it and gave me extra ten taels a month.”

Su Li blankly looked at He Shi and asked, “So you promised her. Right?”

He Shi had a slight stagnation in breath and said with difficulty, “I really don’t want to promise her. But... I have my wife and children to raise. They rely on me to survive. The Old Lady of the Su Family said that if I didn’t agree... she would report me to the official for stealing the recipe of the Su Family and put me into the prison! How can I dare to fight with the Su Family!”

Then He Shi immediately felt relaxed and said, “Miss, you are my half master. The reason why I tell you these is that I feel sorry and don’t know how to help you instead of being forgiven. I am such a useless...”

A man in his thirties knelt down in front of a fifteen-year-old girl and cried more hysterically than a child.

Su Li sighed softly, “Tell me. How were you exposed?”

He Shi stopped crying and spoke intermittently.

It turned out that when Su Li left, the precious Beggars’ Chicken was sold well. Mam. Su-Cui came to the Baiwei Building sadly almost every day. It seemed that if nobody could cook the precious Beggars’ Chicken, the Baiwei Building would close down. Then she repeatedly told the chief cooks that she loved Su Li very much to increase the favorability.

After twice or three times, He Shi was cheated as expected. Mam. Su-Cui changed her attitude after he cooked the precious Beggars’ Chicken. Then he knew he was cheated.

After hearing what He Shi said, Su Li made a conclusion. The plan of Mam. Su-Cui was continuous. She was only against Su Li. He Shi was just a poor person who got involved by her.

“Miss, bad news! The Old Lady comes over together with lots of mammies!”

Mammy Li walked to the attic in a panic. When she saw He Shi kneeling down in front of the miss, she immediately was puzzled and at loss.

He Shi instantly wiped away tears and stood up. Su Li blinked and went downstairs first.

At this moment, it was time for a meal. The first floor was full of guests and was lively.

When Mam. Su-Cui saw Su Li come back, she was happy instantly. But she pretended to be angry and scolded loudly, “You are not a filial granddaughter. I am so angry!!”

Then, she walked to Su Li with a crutch and slapped Su Li.

Slap!

Su Li’s right cheek immediately had a red handprint. She did not and could not hide.

The clear sound echoed through the hall and immediately all the guests who were still eating stopped and watched them.

“What happened?”

“It seems that the Old Lady of the Su Family actually slapped Su Li.”

“Miss Su Li’s face is swollen. How heartless!”

“...”

When Mam. Su-Cui heard the conversation of the guests, she was immediately nervous. She was exasperated at Su Li’s failure to make good and said, “I worked hard to find a way to send you to the Muyang Girls’ School, but you quit school within five days. It is absurd! It is absurd!”

Mam. Su-Cui waved her hand with a painful expression and said, “It is okay for you to care for nobody at home because you cook well! But you actually did not change your way in the Muyang Girls’ School. The Su Family has been disgraced by you. Get out! Our Su Family doesn’t have a daughter like you!”

Immediately after the Mam. Su-Cui stopped, a group of old mammies expertly threw away all the belongings of Su Li in her room outside the Baiwei Building!

More and more people gathered in front of the Baiwei Building and they talked about Su Li.

Mammy Li stood there and felt aggrieved and pitiful. She couldn’t help bursting into tears. Why was the life of the miss so bitter?

Su Li looked indifferent and walked to the outside of the Baiwei Building. She crouched down to pick up her expensive clothing and other valuables. When she opened a piece of cloth, lots of unsightly and gaudy clothes rolled out. All the women spat in their hearts and turned back for shame.

Su Li squinted and raised her head. She saw that Mam. Su-Cui made no attempt to conceal her complacent.

This trick was thought by Su Zipei. Mam. Su-Cui was very satisfied!

“What are these?”

When Mammy Li saw those sexy aprons, she was immediately scared and ran over to wrap them up. She said, “These do not belong to our miss! Someone set her up! She! She did it! She dislikes the miss for a long time...”

Mammy Li pointed to Mam. Su-Cui and desperately defended her miss. But the onlookers were more disappointed and they despised Su Li even more.

The Old Lady of the Su Family was venerable. It was unwise of Mammy Li to choose the Old Lady in order to defend her miss.

“Why don’t you believe me?! Why don’t you believe me?” Mammy Li cried heavily and was about to go mad. She said, “You don’t know how much suffering our miss has withstood and don’t know her life in the Su Family. But you are looking at her with such expressions. All of you are wicked!!”

All people thought they were righteous. So, Mammy Li’s words immediately made many onlookers angry.

“She has done something humiliating, but we can’t judge her. Why?”

“I did not expect that the true Miss Su Li was so unbearable!”

“Bah! I misread you. I thought you were a good match for me. You are such an unbearable girl!”

“Don’t pretend to be high-hearted. It is disgusting...”

Malevolence was growing deeper and deeper. The words of the onlookers around were more and more vicious. There was a criticism conference in front of the Baiwei Building.

“Crack!”

A rotten egg hit Su Li’s head and the egg yolk flew down along her hair. Immediately Su Li smelled bad.

“You still pretend to be high-hearted now. Disgusting! Smash you to death!”

“I also have leftovers. Let’s throw them to her!”

“Throw them to her!”

Su Li lowered her head to pack. She did not escape and had nowhere to escape. Her whole body was covered with leftovers immediately. The odor was worse than a beggar.

Mammy Li stood in front of her miss but it didn’t make a difference. She cried so hysterically that her eyes became blurry, but Su Li just lowered her head and shed no tears.

Suddenly, a huge stone flew from the crowd. Mammy Li stared at it but couldn’t block it. She saw it hit the forehead of the miss.

Tick, tick...

The blood dripped immediately along her cheeks.

Seeing the blood, onlookers’ high spirits faded away as if they had been extinguished by melting ice. Until then, they understood what they had done went too far. But they would not admit their mistakes but stop throwing things in order not to go too far.

The blood soon stained Su Li’s eyes. She touched her forehead and suddenly smiled in a crazy way!

This was good!

This was interesting!

Mam. Su-Cui was as malicious as her in the previous life!

If something exciting didn’t happen, she would almost forget the reason why she came here, was not to find Ling Li but to revenge! Furious revenge!

Pitter-patter...

It suddenly rained heavily and the raindrops made sounds when they fell on the ground. The crowd immediately disappeared. Only the Mam. Su-Cui was still watching the scene in the Baiwei Building.

When she saw Su Li and Mammy Li disappeared in the Dasu Town with wet luggage, she finally could not help but laugh carefreely!

“Wicked girl, no matter how brilliant have you been this year, you completely become a homeless cur at my hands!” Mam. Su-Cui thought.

***

In the jungle, bean-sized raindrops slapped on the leaves and made the “rattat” sounds.

Mammy Li almost couldn’t open her eyes due to the rain. She asked loudly with the heavy wet bedding in the rain, “Miss, where are we going now? There is no temple in the vicinity where we can rest temporarily.”

The wound in Su Li’s forehead was washed by the rain and the rain washed the blood in her forehead. She turned back and said, “Mammy, in order to go faster, throw away the bedding.”

Mammy Li stared at Su Li. What had she seen?

The miss was actually smiling! Her smile was sweet!

“Oh, something bad has happened. Maybe the miss is not sober because of too much stimulation.” Mammy Li grabbed the bedding tighter and could not help but cry.

She would not let the miss die halfway as she had done in the past.

“What are you thinking about? Your expression seems to show that I am dying.”

Su Li’s peaceful words suddenly occurred around Mammy Li. Mammy Li raised her head with surprise and suddenly felt the hands were loose. The bedding had been thrown into the roadside ditch by the miss.

Mammy Li was suddenly in panic. While she was about to enter the ditch to pick it up, she whined, “Miss, it can’t be thrown! If we throw it, how will we sleep? The winter is coming. We will be frozen to death!”
