Imperial Treasure-Chapter 1030 - 616: Two Young Men (Sugar Maple Leaf and He’s Jade+)

The words from these people were truly unpleasant. Wei Zhenzhen softly explained to the plump woman, but she wouldn’t listen, her glare fierce, before turning her hand to strike...

Smack, her wrist was caught by a hand.

The hand was slender with yellowish skin.

But the person was not short, in fact, taller than many women.

"This lady was deceived by your husband in a foreign land, and when attacked by water bandits on the ship, he pushed her forward as a shield. From the perspective of the current law, this is an act of murder, fortunately, she was saved, and she harbors no feelings for your husband, even having a grudge against him. She narrowly escaped with her life on the voyage, could have left directly, but as your husband died, she came as a remaining relative to inform you, even returning your husband’s money... Had she chosen to run away with the money, what could you do? If not for her benevolence and sense of righteousness, why would she suffer your insults now?"

"Your brutishness only stems from jealousy and resentment that your husband married another, but he’s dead now, granting you relief. What’s the point in harassing a woman with nowhere to go, except to make yourself seem more pitiful?"

Sui Yi’s tone was calm but powerful, each sentence making the fat woman blush, especially as she added:

"Moreover, your child is watching. How much admiration can he have for such a mother as you?"

Others whispered, daring not to speak further.

After all, they didn’t know the woman was deceived by Feng Qiang and almost killed... Most importantly...

"Turns out she came to bring money, this girl surely has a good conscience."

"Considering Feng Qiang collected debts from afar, he must’ve had a fair amount, had she taken it, what would Sister Feng do?"

"She looks graceful, with a good temperament, not aggressive but refined. She could surely marry a wealthy gentleman, had she not been deceived, why would she end up a concubine for such a rogue like Feng Qiang?"

"Truly a sin."

Ultimately, human nature is good, often without firm stances. At this moment, they all felt that the gentle Wei Zhenzhen was kind and graceful, clearly distinct from the shrewish, fat Old Lady Feng.

"You... Who are you? Speaking so on her behalf, are you...?"

Sui Yi cast her a glance.

Indifferently.

The woman quivered, not daring to speak further, grabbing her son from the corner, fleeing awkwardly.

Seeing this, the others also dispersed...

Feng Qiang was dead, and amidst this chaos, no one cared about Wei Zhenzhen’s fate.

Both legally and personally, it was incredibly cold.

Sui Yi turned to look at the weakly grateful Wei Zhenzhen.

Frowning, she thought for a moment, asking: "Do you know how to cook and manage a house?"

"I do," Wei Zhenzhen’s eyes brightened and she nodded vigorously.

"Then come with me."

Sui Yi wrote an employment contract with Wei Zhenzhen, "Although this house isn’t big, I’m rarely home, and have no time to manage it. You can help take care of it... Five Taels monthly, and let me know of any additional expenses."

Wei Zhenzhen felt it was too much money, but Sui Yi was firm, unable to refuse, she silently planned to save the money and return it one day... 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

However, she was quite curious.

"How did Teacher know about my past with Feng Qiang, are you from there as well?"

"No, I guessed."

During her time on the ship, she naturally heard others discuss this couple, and also regularly saw Wei Zhenzhen’s resistance towards Feng Qiang. Furthermore, it was known that Feng Qiang was carrying a money pouch. Once Feng Qiang died, the Jianghuai Army would certainly ensure the money reached his widow.

Today she saw Wei Zhenzhen in her simple, disheveled attire, still with flour from the bun shop, suggesting she had no support, and had to work in some restaurants in Yangzhou.

It must be that she returned the money and was subsequently kicked out, resulting in such a plight.

She’s a classically traditional but kind woman.

Sui Yi didn’t clarify, and Wei Zhenzhen dared not ask, yet looking at Mr. Sui in front of her, she revealed a slight look of relief.

Heavens seemed kind to her, presenting a Noble Person in her moment of confusion and sorrow.

Sui Yi strolled through Yangzhou City with Wei Zhenzhen, hiring her not just because she was a true Sui Dynasty person, more familiar with the world’s customs than Fu Junnuo, but her gentle, attentive kind-hearted nature. If she were to establish Sui Tang Square in the future, this person is employable.
