Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 113: Who’s Bald? Your Whole Family is Bald!!!

Even at this point, Peng Kun hadn’t given up on the idea of making a big profit from Su Yijia. He had finally fathered a son, and he was determined to marry that woman back into the family. Furthermore, he didn’t have much money on hand, and he needed to save for the child’s upbringing. These 500 yuan were non-negotiable.

"How can I be sure that what you’re saying is true?" Su Yijia scrutinized Peng Kun with an untrusting look.

After a moment’s thought, he took out a photograph from his pocket and handed it to her. But as she reached for it, he quickly withdrew the photo. "I’ll just let you take a quick look."

This feisty girl might just grab it and run, and then who would he turn to for justice?

"Fine," Su Yijia responded without getting angry.

However, she wasn’t as uncooperative as Peng Kun had anticipated. If what he was saying was true, then the 500 yuan was well worth it. It was like offering someone the opportunity to put an end to a life of suffering and abuse at the hands of a cruel father. And for the price of twenty months’ wages, she could acquire evidence, mementos from her biological mother, and even help lay her mother’s abandoned remains to rest in peace.

Most people wouldn’t hesitate to seize this chance, even if it was offered by the child of an enemy. Though She wasn’t truly the daughter of the woman, she wanted to do this to fulfill her mission and ensure justice for the original host.

Therefore, she didn’t feel the intense anger or the burning desire to make the child of her enemy pay.

Peng Kun cautiously extended the photograph again, and Su Yijia took a close look at it.

The photo was well-preserved, as if it had been prepared for the day it would be taken out and sold. It was a black and white photograph from twenty years ago, but the contrast between Lin Cuifen and the woman in the picture was evident. Su’s mother had a temperament that was more critical and domineering, while the woman in the photograph exuded a delicate, almost ethereal quality. She had a gentle, shallow smile that was remarkably comforting, and her eyes were clear and innocent, as if she hadn’t experienced any hardship in that era.

The man beside her had a completely different aura, strong and resolute, and he seemed reliable. Despite wearing everyday attire, his presence was familiar to Su Yijia. She furrowed her brows, deep in thought, and then her expression changed to one of realization.

He, like Kaize and Uncle Xia, should be a member of the military unit. The unchanging righteousness of a lifelong soldier was evident in him. Her suspicions about her father’s identity led to questions about his abandonment of his wife and daughter.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully triggering a side mission. Please investigate the reasons why the original host’s father never returned after leaving. Upon completion of the mission, you will receive the formula for the Hair Growth Solution. However, given that the host already used the formula for the Functional Restoration Elixir, you can only use this one after completing the previous mission.] 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The sudden voice of 666 interrupted Su Yijia’s internal analysis. She was not disappointed, as she was well clear that the newly gained formula couldn’t be used immediately. Instead, she spouted, somehow unhappy with the offer. "Why give me the formula for the Hair Growth Solution?"

It wasn’t that it wasn’t a good item, but she felt that researching a twenty-year-old event with unknown locations and people should yield more valuable rewards.

boasted:

[Host, don’t you think you’re getting a bit thin on top? I’m just worried that as your brain works harder, your hair might be thinning out. We don’t want you to end up with a bald pate, so I specially arranged to get you this formula.]

Su Yijia responded with a loud "Pff" to the idea. "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I become bald? I’m only twenty years old; it’s the prime of my life. How could I possibly be bald? My hair is thin and soft, that’s why it may appear less voluminous."

[If you stand high enough, you can see your scalp. If Qin Kaize’s body recovers and he lives with you, all he has to do is lower his head, and he’ll see your bald head...]

reminded her.

"If he dares to make fun of it, even if I cure him, I’ll turn him back into a paraplegic," Su Yijia threatened vehemently, gritting her teeth silently.

666’s tone took on an alarmed note. [Tsk, this is truly a woman’s heart, so venomous.]

"Hmph!" Su Yijia scoffed in frustration.

Peng Kun was somewhat puzzled and a little concerned as he looked at her. "What’s the meaning of your laughter now? Don’t you trust me? Or do you not want to spend money on buying the evidence?"

"If everything you’ve said is accurate, I can give you 500 yuan. But how can I be sure that the information about my mother’s remains is accurate?" Su Yijia asked.

"I don’t know how to verify that either, but the information about your mother’s remains came from my grandmother, who secretly followed your parents and saw where they carelessly buried her. They didn’t even have a proper tombstone, just a mound of dirt. My grandmother felt guilty about it, and she’d go every year to burn incense for her.

Before she passed away, she was afraid that your mother, a pitiable soul, hadn’t received the proper offerings. She didn’t want her to suffer in the afterlife, so she shared this secret with me." Peng Kun spoke righteously, trying to earn her trust.

Su Yijia remained skeptical and cast a "How could you" look at him. Peng Kun tried to maintain a posture of integrity, even though he felt somewhat uneasy about her suspicion.

"You don’t need to sugarcoat it; she told you to hold a handle over the Su family. Your grandmother knew you were a wretched person and feared you might starve someday. So, she shared this secret with you. In the future, if you ever need money or hit rock bottom, you can use this information to threaten the members of the Su family who now have proper jobs in the city. She didn’t have to worry about the Su family retaliating against you. Not only do you know the kind of people they are, but you’ve also mingled with them. You have a group of shady friends, and they can’t even jump over the wall when they’re desperate, let alone cause you any substantial harm," Su Yijia exposed his false facade with disdain.

Peng Kun felt somewhat awkward and scratched his nose. "Well, all I can say is that the information I’ve shared with you is undoubtedly true. It’s up to you whether or not you believe me. If you still can’t believe it, I can grab a shovel and take you there to dig up your mother’s remains."

"No hurry," Su Yijia refused without much thought. "I need to make arrangements for my mother’s proper burial before digging her up."

Digging up the remains now would only create unnecessary complications. It would serve no purpose. Besides, what could she do now? Dig out the remains and carry them home in her bamboo bucket? She’s not that crazy.

She needed to ensure her mother’s remains were unearthed when the time was right to hold those responsible accountable.

Peng Kun tested, "Shall I take you to see it now?"

"No, thanks. I’ll come and give you the money in a few days, then we can go together," Su Yijia replied.

She had the money with her, and it wasn’t about being embarrassed or fearful. She simply didn’t trust Peng Kun.
