It's all ruined, who cares about the chastity arch

At this moment, her eyes were shining with firm determination and warmth, like a bright light, illuminating the road ahead.

The old man stared at his daughter, his eyes full of love and pride. Time had left traces on his face, but his smile at this moment was so warm and comforting: "Yuanyuan, you have really grown up. You are no longer the little girl who needs my protection under my wings."

The nickname he called out seemed to have the power of time travel, making Su Wanyu's heart surge with bitterness. This name carries too many childhood memories. The last time she was called by her father like this seemed to be a long, long time ago.

The master gently placed a heavy seal on her palm. The warmth of her palm seemed to connect their hearts. He smiled gently and said earnestly, "My wish is very simple. I just hope that my daughter can live a peaceful, healthy and happy life."

At that moment, Su Wanyu felt not only the weight, but also the heavy responsibility and love on her shoulders.

She held the seal tightly, tears sparkling in her eyes, but she still smiled and nodded vigorously, which was an affirmation of her father's promise.

After bidding farewell to her father, Su Wanyu, accompanied by her personal maids Siqi and Yunyi, and four loyal followers, strode towards Manager Liu's shop.

Outside the store at this time, the sunlight was blocked by thick clouds, revealing a hint of ominous omen.

Inside the store, Shopkeeper Liu was waving a whip angrily and yelling at his daughter: "All you know is eating! Eat, eat, eat!"

The little girl's thin body trembled with fear. Every time the whip fell, she cried heart-wrenchingly. Her face was covered with scars, making her look particularly pitiful.

Next to him, a ragged woman suddenly rushed forward, desperate to stop Manager Liu, and shouted angrily and helplessly: "Stop! You usually hit me, but how can you have the heart to hit a child! She is still a child, she doesn't know anything!"

There was despair in her voice and tears in her eyes were about to burst.

It turned out that Manager Liu had the chance to make a small profit at the Lantern Festival last night, and this morning he couldn't wait to spend the money in the casino. As a result, he lost it all in less than half a day.

When he returned home and saw that his daughter had eaten a few more mouthfuls of rice, he was instantly furious and slapped her without hesitation.

"You don't understand anything! I told her to eat one bowl, but she insisted on eating more. Isn't this a waste?"

Manager Liu's roar was like summer thunder, deafening.

His wife, dressed in rough cloth, with bandages wrapped around her arms to hide the scars, and the bruises around her eyes bearing witness to countless violence, fell to her knees, hugged her husband's legs, and pleaded in her voice: "Hit me, the child is still young, don't hit me anymore, it will kill someone!"

The little girl was so frightened by the horrific scene that she trembled with fear. Her tears and snot mixed together, and her face was dirty. She cried out in a trembling voice, "Mom——!"

Manager Liu became furious and kicked his wife away, then raised the whip again, ready to abuse her again.

At this critical moment, Su Wanyu pushed the door open and walked in. Her eyes were like sharp swords, and she ordered firmly: "Stop!"

Shopkeeper Liu looked up and recognized the extraordinary woman in front of him. He quickly withdrew his hand and forced a flattering smile: "Oh, it turns out to be Miss, what can I do for you?"

Su Wanyu slowly walked towards the terrified little girl, gently took her hand, and handed it to Yun Yi beside her. Her tone was calm but revealed an irresistible majesty: "I am here to discuss something important with you."

Shopkeeper Liu had met Su Wanyu several times before. It was rumored that she divorced her husband and returned to her parents' home shortly after marrying into the Zheng family. Although he was respectful to the former eldest lady on the surface, he sneered at her deep down in his heart and thought she was weak and incompetent.

"Miss, if you have any instructions, please send someone to inform me. Why would you trouble me to come to my humble abode in person?"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, how would I know that you would treat your wife and children like this?"

As Su Wanyu spoke, she bent down and helped the woman who was kneeling on the ground up, her eyes full of pity and determination.

The woman's name was Xu. Her father was also a shopkeeper of the Tan family in his early years. She learned business from her father since she was young and was also proficient in jewelry carving.

However, with the passing of her father, she was entrusted to Manager Liu, her father's former disciple.

Manager Liu took this opportunity to gain a foothold in the Tan family, but the good times did not last long. His true colors were revealed soon after the marriage. Not only did he beat his wife, he also forced her and her daughter to participate in illegal activities. His life was filled with gambling, alcoholism, and visits to brothels, and he did all kinds of evil.

Xu tried several times to ask the Tan family for help, but was repeatedly stopped by them violently. They even threatened her daughter, making her dare not resist anymore.

Facing the savior in front of her, Xu's eyes were filled with tears, her hands were shaking, and she cried inconsolably: "Miss..."

Su Wanyu had had an impression of the Xu family since she was a child. Although they were of different status and had little contact, out of gratitude to the old shopkeeper Jiang, she decided not to sit idly by.

Today, she came here to seek justice for Xu's mother and daughter.

"You and your father are both loyal and devoted subordinates of the mansion. If you have any grievances, please speak up. The master and I will definitely help you."

Su Wanyu comforted Xu with gentle but firm words.

Xu turned around, hugged her daughter tightly in her arms, wiped the tears from her face, and then pointed at Manager Liu and accused him tearfully: "My dear, he is addicted to gambling and abuses us mother and daughter. He is not worthy of being a father! He is worse than a beast!"

Her trembling voice contained years of pain and sorrow, like the surface of a frozen lake in winter, depressing and heavy.

At this moment, Manager Liu's ugly behavior was fully exposed, and what awaits him will be the judgment of justice.

Manager Liu's face was like the sky covered with dark clouds, not clear at all, his eyes were like torches, burning with uncontrollable anger, he stared at the woman straight, then quickly shifted his gaze, turned his body to the side, facing Su Wanyu, forced a flattering smile, his tone was full of flattery: "Miss, after all, this matter involves our own internal conflicts. Although the Tan family is the big tree we rely on, the shade of this tree cannot extend to my stove indefinitely, is that right?"

Su Wanyu's lips tilted sideways, and a cold smile was like a gust of cold wind in winter, cutting off a trace of warmth in the air: "Manager Liu, you know what you are doing. Since we have chosen to rely on the eaves of the Tan family to shelter from the rain, whether we are feeding a cat or a dog, or a person, we will not raise an ungrateful wolf that will turn against its master."

"Miss..."

Although Manager Liu was filled with rage, he could only suppress it at the moment. He could vent his temper in front of his wife and children at home, but in front of Su Wanyu, he dared not even breathe a word, for fear of causing even greater trouble.
