123 Su Niang’s Problem

In an instant, so many thoughts entered Kong Rui’s mind that she could no longer think rationally. She was about to carefully examine the gem when she heard a commotion outside the door.

The house they lived in was located in the deepest part of the inner courtyard of Fragrant Garden. Ordinary people wouldn’t come to this place. No matter how much of a ruckus the guests in the front courtyard caused, they would at most reach the atrium and not the depths of the inner courtyard.

Kong Rui and Chao Bai exchanged looks

and immediately put away the wooden box.

Chao Bai didn’t immediately remove the barrier. Just in case, it was better not to let anyone outside notice that there were people in this room for the time being.

The two of them heard someone shouting in the courtyard, “Call that woman, Su Niang, out!”

A man raised his voice and stood in the courtyard while shouting Su Niang’s name.

Kong Rui suddenly wondered if that wealthy family had come to look for Tong Sheng. She immediately stood up and wanted to rush out to take a look, but Chao Bai grabbed her hand and gestured for her not to be anxious.

After a while, it seemed like Su Niang walked out.

The man’s voice was still filled with ruthlessness. “You’re finally out! Tell me! When are you going to repay the money you owe our master?!”

Hearing this, Kong Rui was stunned. She didn’t expect this man to be here to collect debt.

It was unknown what Su Niang said to the man, but even though Kong Rui tried to listen carefully, she couldn’t hear clearly.

After a while, the man cursed with resentment and left.

Chao Bai removed the barrier. Seeing Kong Rui’s dazed expression, he poked her face with a finger and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

A small dent was poked in Kong Rui’s face. Chao Bai seemed to like doing this and poked her a few more times.

Kong Rui finally came back to her senses and waved away Chao Bai’s hand. “Tell me, what did Su Niang say to that person?”

How could such a debt collector leave so easily? What did Su Niang say to him to make him leave just like that?

Kong Rui was wondering when she heard a light knock on the door.

Kong Rui glanced at Chao Bai and saw that he was staring at the door without any surprise.

“Master, I’m Su Niang. May I come in?” Su Niang’s soft voice sounded aggrieved and pitiful.

Kong Rui glanced at Chao Bai again before saying, “Come in.”

Chao Bai returned to the inner room since he didn’t plan to meet Su Niang. Kong Rui sat at the table and planned to see what Su Niang wanted to do.

After Su Niang walked in, she bowed to Kong Rui. Then, she knelt on the ground.

Kong Rui was shocked. Then, she coughed to hide her loss of composure. “Why are you here at this time?”

Su Niang looked up at Kong Rui, but her eyes were searching for something.

“Please save me, Master!” Su Niang said as tears filled her eyes.

“What happened?” Kong Rui asked softly. Seeing Su Niang’s sudden tears, she couldn’t help but feel shocked.

Su Niang pressed her sleeve against her eyes and wiped away the tears that were about to fall. “Previously, I told you that I was originally the mistress of a wealthy family. Although my life wasn’t considered extravagant, there was always financial security. I knew that I couldn’t rely on him completely, so I worked in Fragrant Garden for a few years.”

As Su Niang spoke, she couldn’t help but sigh.

“However, ever since my family’s head suddenly died, not only did the wealthy family take back the residence that Tong Sheng and I lived in, but they also kept forcing me to hand Tong Sheng over to them. I was unwilling to and fled with Tong Sheng. Although the brothel keeper of Fragrant Garden took us in, she also cheated me of all the money I had left.”

At this point, Su Niang couldn’t help but cry.
