Chapter 1740 Su Aixiu's Earrings Are Missing

Yu Hua said, "I'm not afraid, but the lotus leaf is something that needs to be protected. It absolutely cannot be damaged in any way, otherwise I won't be able to face the ancestors of the Chen family!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Feng said to a servant, "Send a message to Mochun County, and tell Cheng Tiezhu to return quickly."

Then Cheng Feng reminded everyone, "He Bao has lost her virtue. When you women go out, you must have someone accompany you. Do not be careless, or you will regret it if something happens."

While they're studying how to protect the lotus buds, the lotus buds on the other side are being attacked.

The two thugs, who had failed in their attempt to rob a chicken, ended up with injured eyes. They hated He Bao intensely. "Didn't you say that as long as we followed you to rob, we'd get a share of the silver? We didn't get a single penny, and I almost went blind! I'm asking you, where's the silver? Where's the silver we agreed on?"

He Bao, who had been kicked and was lying on the ground, rolled around and cried out, "I didn't get the silver either! Who knew she would use a hidden weapon to hurt my eyes!"

One of the thugs pulled out a knife and shouted, "I don't care, we brothers can't have come all this way for nothing, hand over the money!"

At this moment, He Bao was still unaware of fear. "I have no money. We agreed to rob you first and then split the money. You didn't help me get any silver. What am I supposed to give you? You've done a bad job."

"You bitch, shut up. If you can't come up with the money, I'll sell you to a brothel."

"A brothel? You dare? I'm going to marry into a wealthy and powerful family!"

"Pah! With your ugly face, only a wealthy family would be blind." The two thugs exchanged a filthy glance. "How about we reluctantly... let her serve us brothers?"

Upon hearing this, another thug's eyes gleamed with lust, and he rubbed his hands together impatiently. "That makes sense. Since she can't come up with the money, let her play with us to pay off her debt!"

Seeing that the two men were undressing, He Bao stopped talking tough. While trying to escape, she begged for mercy, "Please let me go. When I have money, I will give you double the amount."

"You're just a penniless wretch, you can't even find a single copper coin on your head. You're not worthy to try and make empty promises to us."

Seeing the two men closing in, He Bao became frightened. At this moment, she thought of her illustrious uncle, the heir apparent, and said, "Try touching me! My uncle is the heir apparent of the Prince Pang's mansion. If you touch me, he will tear you to pieces!"

"You dare threaten us brothers? We've never even seen you step inside the gates of Prince Pang's mansion, and you're still trying to intimidate us with your status as the heir! You bitch, trying to run away? No way."

After He Bao got dressed and got up from the ground, the two hooligans were nowhere to be found. She had no choice but to avoid passersby and sneak home through side streets.

Xinhe, the little girl, ran excitedly to the east wing, "Mother, Auntie is secretly crying in the room. Has someone bullied her?"

Su Aixiu, who was lying in bed resting during her pregnancy, remained unmoved. "Xinhe, why pity her? She's only good at bullying others; how could she be bullied?"

A moment later, Cheng Xinhe, who had run out, returned and said mysteriously, "Mom, my aunt has stopped crying. She's cursing!"

"Who are you scolding?"

"She curses all the people that she and her grandmother usually curse."

"What's so strange about that? It's common for her to swear!"

Xinhe shook her head. "It's different. Auntie's eyes were really fierce this time. It felt like she could eat me alive!"

Su Aixiu patted her daughter's head and said, "Xinhe, listen to your mother and stay away from your aunt."

Xinhe nodded: "I remember everything Mother said. I won't go to my aunt and ask for a beating!"

"Xinhe, you're such a good girl! Go to your grandma's room later and see if she needs any washing or cleaning. Just call your mom."

"Mother, Xinhe remembers everything. I go to Grandma's room to check on her every incense stick's time. If anything happens, I'll call for you. Mother, you can rest assured and rest in bed. Xinhe has thought of everything!"

After saying a few words, Xinhe skipped away again. Just as Su Aixiu was half asleep, Xinhe returned, shaking her arm and asking, "Mother, are you asleep?"

Su Aixiu sat up, one hand bracing against the bed frame and the other gripping the edge of the bed. "Did your grandma poop? I'll go check on her right away."

Cheng Xinhe said, "Mom, you don't need to go. My aunt is changing the sheets for Grandma in the room! She's already finished!"

Su Aixiu asked in surprise, "Didn't she stop serving your grandmother? Why is she like this now?"

Xinhe whispered, "My aunt is going to manage the money for my grandma."

"Did your grandma agree?"

Xinhe shook her head: "I don't know. My aunt saw me go in and kicked me out."

Su Aixiu thought about it and realized that this was He Bao. She couldn't enter the gates of the Prince's Mansion. Now that Cheng Feng had cut off her money, she had nowhere to get money. He Bao, who was used to spending money lavishly, could not live a life of financial hardship. The money in this house was all in Liu Dalan's hands. He Bao would definitely use sweet words to flatter her. Only in this way could she trick Liu Dalan into giving her money!

Unfortunately, Liu Dalan was not a generous person, and the meager amount she offered was far from satisfying Hebao's appetite.

Su Aixiu patted Xinhe's head and admonished, "Children shouldn't eavesdrop on adults' conversations. Your aunt is in your grandma's room, so don't go there. If your aunt doesn't get the money, she'll definitely take it out on someone. Be careful and don't run into her trap!"

Xinhe was shocked, her eyes wide and her mouth agape. She then climbed onto the bed and sat down with her mother. Seeing her aunt's imposing manner, Xinhe was too afraid to leave the room.

One day, Su Aixiu was packing her things when she discovered that the pair of earrings that Madam Wan had given her two months ago were missing. She asked Xinhe, who said she didn't know, and then she asked Cheng Tiezhu, "Have you seen my pair of earrings?"

Cheng Tiezhu said, "I never touch your things!"

"Strange, the pair of earrings that Madam Wan gave me are gone!"

"Look again carefully."

"I've searched several times, I've turned over every place I could find." Su Aixiu is always methodical in her work, and everything is kept in its fixed place. As long as no one moves it, it won't disappear.

Cheng Tiezhu said, "It can't be dried lotus leaves again, can it?"

In fact, Su Aixiu thought the same thing, but she didn't want to tell Cheng Tiezhu directly: "Without evidence, we shouldn't make wild guesses."

“She even stole my daughter’s longevity lock! What else is she capable of? Just thinking about the despicable things she’s done, I’m ready to beat her to death! I’m going to find her right now. If she really took it, I’ll give her a good beating with willow branches!”

Su Aixiu said, "Forget it. A while ago, you tried to deal with her, but she went against you, making the whole house a mess. Things have only calmed down for a few days now, so let's not cause any more trouble."
