Chapter 156.1: su xi-er showing off her might
With a mob mentality in full play, the expressions on both Widow Liu and Zhang Zhuangâs expression instantly changed, and they were rooted in place.
Widow Liu was also not a simple person to deal with. Even though those around her constantly hurled insults, she never once thought of slipping away. Instead, she glared fiercely at those who were throwing the rotten vegetables.
Immediately, the people throwing vegetables stopped in fear of retaliation.
Seeing that she had achieved her intended purpose, Widow Liu then shifted her gaze and glared at Su Xi-er. Freeing herself from Zhang Zhuangâs hold, she stepped forward until she stood directly in front of the other woman.
She smiled sententiously, looking at Su Xi-er with arrogance. âOh, who is this? Why are you busying yourself with someone elseâs business? Are you not aware of your standing?â
Any ordinary woman would have been sent scurrying by her words. Su Xi-er, however, was anything but a normal woman.
Su Xi-er raised an eyebrow, watching Widow Liu with a mocking look in her eyes. âYou would know my standing later.â
âMiss, please leave. This is my familyâs matters, and I donât wish to implicate you.â NĂ©e Li tried to persuade Su Xi-er, her hands desperately trying to push the latter to leave as she was afraid that Widow Liu would harm Su Xi-er.
But Su Xi-er disregarded her words. âMaâam, Iâm fine. If a person without any sense of shame or guilt can be this arrogant, I must speak out for you and seek justice.â
âHa⊠how high-sounding, do you know who my brother is?â
âDoes it matter who he is? Could it be that you want to suppress me with your authority?â Su Xi-erâs frigid aura, along with the fact that the clothes she was wearing were not those of a commoner, caused Widow Liu to begin to second guess herself.
From the clothes this young lady is wearing, it doesnât look like sheâs from an ordinary family, and that accent of hers doesnât sound like sheâs from Moon County either.
But as the saying goes, âa mighty dragon cannot crush a snake in its old hauntsâ. Widow Liu was considered an influential figure in Moon County. Her elder brother worked in the magistrate office, granting her family an untouchable status in Moon County.
Although Widow Liu felt that Su Xi-er was not a commoner, she couldnât see any aids that might have accompanied the latter.
Sheâs presumably just the young miss of a wealthy family in another county who has secretly sneaked out to play.
Going under this assumption, Widow Liu felt that she didnât need to be afraid of a witless young girl. âMiss, if I were you, I would have long scrammed. Otherwise, you wonât even know how you end up dead later.â
Widow Liu was particularly arrogant because in addition to her brother, her familyâs business selling grain, oil, and rice was doing exceptionally well.
It was due to this backing that others could only talk about her behind her back, despite the fact that she had seduced a married man as a widow. They didnât dare to talk about her in her face, much less try to assist NĂ©e Li.
âSo, what are you going to do if I donât leave?â Su Xi-er asked, holding onto NĂ©e Li and helping her up. She comforted the latter, âMaâam, donât you worry. This woman is clearly a thick-skinned vixen. You must know that if your husband can betray you for her money, he can do the same to her when he finds an even wealthier woman! She also wouldnât be any better!â
Although Su Xi-erâs eyes were on NĂ©e Li when she said these words, it was essentially targeted at Widow Liu.
Widow Liuâs countenance changed instantly, her face turning black with fury. âWhat did you say?â
