Chapter 312: Chapter 311 The hardest part is to endure the kindness of a beauty_1

"Relatives should be strictly disciplined even more, otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble they will cause in the future!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Su Sikong asserted his points with conviction!

If no one had pleaded for him today, he might have let him off!

But now, so many people are pleading for him...Haha, Qin Yi, you’re done for! Don’t think I will spare you!"

"Kong’er, you..."

Suddenly Su Hai didn’t know what to do, he looked sorrowfully at him.

The clan leader beside him also pulled a long face, his obvious rejection made him feel humiliated too.

Su Sikong glanced at Su Pan’er with a malicious look, grunted heavily in his throat, turned and waved at the crowd behind him.

"Speed up! Take him to the county jail and watch him carefully! Anyone who dares to oppose openly will not be let off lightly by me if I find out!"

"Yes, Lord!"

The attendants didn’t dare to object and hurriedly went to make preparations.

As the situation got to this point, everyone felt uneasy. Su Pan’er tightly pulled at Qin Yi’s sleeve, refusing to let go.

The attendants wanted to chase her away, but they were wary of Su Pan’er’s combat power and didn’t dare to step forward.

Old Qin was extremely anxious, he kept bowing and pleading towards Su Sikong, "Lord Su, Lord Su! Anyway, my Qin Yi is your nephew-in-law, isn’t he? Please be merciful and let him go! Lord Su..."

A nephew-in-law is not a son-in-law!

If he hadn’t mentioned it, it would be better, but when he mentioned it, the veins on Su Sikong’s face were protruding fiercely.

"Was it not clear enough what I said just now? Do you need me to repeat it? Hmm!"

As soon as he said this, everyone was silenced.

Old Qin was instantly petrified, couldn’t even move a muscle!

Su Pan’er frowned, she could clearly see now, Su Sikong was not going to let Qin Yi go today, no matter what!

But the villagers on the outside started to make a fuss!

"He can’t be arrested! They can’t take Scholar Qin away! He and his wife have helped us so much these days, we all must be conscientious, Scholar Qin must not be arrested!"

"Right, he must not be arrested! Su Sikong, you are a member of the Su Family. If it wasn’t for Su Pan’er and Scholar Qin helping us all get the smallpox vaccine, you might have been infected long ago. You still want to be arrogant here?"

"You mustn’t forget your roots! Your life was saved by them. Even if they hit you a couple of times, so what? Have you no shame?"

"..."

The emotions of the onlooking villagers got more and more heated. From just a few people talking at the start, it quickly escalated to dozens, then hundreds. Looking up, there was a sea of people.

Not to mention wanting to lead someone away, even the prisoner’s cart that Su Sikong had brought earlier, intending to arrest Su Pan’er, was disassembled by the villagers and smashed to pieces.

Su Sikong roared from the rear!

He was jumping up and down, but he could not stop these rioting villagers at all.

The villagers were riled up, forming a human wall firmly protecting Qin Yi in the middle. Su Sikong’s men wanted to rush forward, but were firmly blocked by the crowd.

Helplessly, they took out their weapons to try and scare the villagers, but this only angered the villagers more.

Everyone rushed forward, fighting and kicking, not only seizing their weapons but also punching and kicking them opportunistically.

Su Sikong was dumbfounded!

"Those who are in the wrong have few helpers, while those who are in the right have many. It seems Lord Su has done a great job in treating people well!"

Hwa Diexiang said with a smile.

On hearing these words, Su Sikong almost spat blood in anger.

Jun Ruochen leisurely came out of the house, approached the furious Su Sikong who was fuming with rage.

"Being in line with the people’s hearts, conforming to public sentiment, fulfilling popular desires may sound simple, but how many local officials can truly achieve this? In fact, it’s okay if one can’t accomplish it, but at the very least, don’t act against public sentiment. Lord Su, wouldn’t you agree?"

Lord Su Sikong almost fell backward from anger!

He wanted to speak but didn’t know what to say.

"Father! What happened? Why is everything so chaotic here?"

A crisp and pleasant voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone turned to look, and Su Yue’er, attired in a colorful floral silk dress, approached with poised and graceful strides.

Even before she arrived, a faint fragrance filled the air, and her laughter reached everyone’s ears.

Su Yue’er’s beautiful eyes swept over the crowd, finally resting on Qin Yi. Her smiling face immediately froze.

She blinked her dewy eyes, stepped gracefully forward, and greeted Jun Ruochen with a respectful bow.

"Yue’er pays her respects to Lord Jun."

Jun Ruochen nodded indifferently and helped her to rise, "Miss Su, please get up."

"Thank you, Lord Jun."

As Su Yue’er stood up, she smiled at Jun Ruochen, "Today seems to be quite lively, I just don’t know, what did Young Master Qin do to offend Lord Jun, resulting in his arrest?"

Jun Ruochen shook his head.

"Miss Su is joking. The one who wants to punish Qin Yi is your honorable father, not this official."

Surprised, Su Yue’er wondered. Wasn’t her father here to arrest Su Pan’er? Why was he punishing Qin Yi? What was going on?

"Father, what is going on? And your eyes, why...?"

"Hmph! What do you think it is?"

Su Sikong, full of anger, didn’t sugarcoat his words for his daughter, Su Yue’er. He turned and crossed his arms.

"Father--"

Looking around at the crowd, Su Yue’er quickly pulled Su Sikong to the side.

When they were alone, she finally lowered her voice: "Father, are those injuries on your eyes caused by him? He is a scholar, how can he even fight!"

Seeing the perfect black eyes created by punches, how can it not be funny to see her father with such classic panda eyes!

She couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Her cheerful demeanor did slightly lessen Su Sikong’s rage.

"Oh! Why are you so interested in Qin Yi? Look at Jun Ruochen, he has both talent and a grand family lineage, far surpassing Qin Yi. Why stake your future on one tree?"

At this, Su Yue’er pouted. Her own father was going against her!

"Hmph! Father, leave Yue’er’s matters alone. Yue’er has her reasons for doing this!"

"What reasons could you possibly have? Don’t think that I don’t know about it."

In a displeased manner, Su Sikong said, "You just have eyes for that pretty boy, and you’re unwilling to admit defeat, wanting to compete with that damn girl, right? But is it worth mortgaging your life for? You, you, what can I say about you!"

"Even if I mortgage my life, as long as Yue’er feels it’s worth it, it’s fine!"

Su Yue’er replied calmly, her eyes full of resolved hatred.

"Father! Please give Yue’er this face, let him go! Even if you really arrest him and take him to the county government office, at most he will be fined, be punished with twenty strokes of the pole, and sentenced to a month of labor. But it will ruin the future of your potential son-in-law. It’s not a good deal, is it?"

"Fine! I will save your face."

After some thought, Su Sikong gritted his teeth and nodded. Given the chaotic situation with the peasants, he wouldn’t be able to take Qin Yi away anyway.

"I just fear that after all you have done, it will just benefit her in the end!"

Su Sikong responded with a sigh.
