The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

Tang Sanmei followed out and looked at Su Caixia and said, "Sister Caixia, are you okay?"

Su Caixia turned around and grabbed Tang Sanmei's arm, her eyes sharp: "What did the person who gave you the cake just now look like? Tall, short, fat, thin, male, female?"

Tang Sanmei was startled by her and said, "A little beggar gave it to me. He said someone else gave it to him. I don't understand what it means, so I just brought it to you."

Su Caixia let her go.

"Sister Caixia, are you okay? If you're not feeling well, I'll talk to Master and ask for leave for you. You don't look well."

"Third sister, I do feel a little unwell and need to go to the clinic. Please tell the master for me." Su Caixia said, turned around and left the embroidery workshop.

By the stream. Su Caixia looked at the river surface, and the image of the fool struggling in the water emerged in her mind.

The note she had just received said that someone had seen her and the fool, and that person knew that the fool's death was not an accident, but that she had done it on purpose. The person also asked her to meet here, saying that if she gave him enough money, he would keep his mouth shut.

There were footsteps coming from behind. Hearing the footsteps, Su Caixia turned around abruptly, and when she saw the person coming, her eyes were full of shock.

"You... aren't you always following that stupid beggar?"

The middle-aged beggar in front of him was unkempt, and his tattered clothes gave off a sour smell.

Hearing Su Caixia's words, he responded with a mean face: "Yes, it's me."

"You said you saw..."

"Yes, I saw it," the beggar said proudly, "You tricked that fool into coming here, threw his favorite cakes into the river, and he jumped in..."

After hearing what he said in such detail, which was exactly the same as what had happened before, Su Caixia believed him.

"That's enough. What do you want?"

"Didn't I tell you? Just give me the money and God and I will know about this."

Su Caixia looked at the beggar in front of her, and all kinds of possibilities emerged in her mind.

She worked in an embroidery workshop and had seen all kinds of ruffians and scoundrels, not to mention this greedy beggar. If she gave him the money today, she would be coerced by him for the rest of her life.

"I brought ten taels of silver, which is all my savings. I can give you all the silver, but you must keep your word and stop threatening me with this matter."

"Don't worry, I just want money."

"Then come and get it!"

The beggar strode towards her and held out his hands to her.

Su Caixia reached into her clothes, pulled out a dagger, and stabbed the beggar in the chest.

"Go to hell."

The beggar leaned back, sat down on the ground, and shouted, "No more playing, no more playing. She's going to kill someone. Why don't you show up?"

"Who are you talking to?" Su Caixia had a bad feeling in her heart.

"We." Captain Feng appeared with the detectives, and Tang Yichen also appeared with him.

The entire thing was orchestrated by Tang Yichen. From writing a note to Su Caixia, luring her here, to using the beggar Su Caixia had seen to trick her into believing she was dead, he even figured out the details of the idiot's death. Su Caixia was cunning, having erased all traces, leaving only the footprints of the idiot falling into the water.

However, it was the footprints of the fool who fell into the water that revealed all the secrets.

Judging from the footprints left at the scene, the fool jumped into the river by himself.

He was a fool, his mind wasn't very clear, but even he knew to avoid dangerous places, like cliffs and water...

He threw himself into the water recklessly. There was only one possibility: someone had lured him with something. He was calling for cakes, so it was very likely that cake was the bait.

This place is remote and there are very few people around. There is no witness to what Su Caixia did. Only by creating such a witness can she panic, lose her composure, and confess without being asked.

"Brother Yichen..." Su Caixia looked at him blankly. "Why are you here?"

"Why am I here? Shouldn't you know better than me? Thanks to you, my hand has become like this. The doctor said it will never be able to return to its original state in this lifetime." Tang Yichen raised his right arm slightly and looked at Su Caixia coldly.

Su Caixia laughed heartily: "Brother Yichen, who told you not to love me? Who told you not to marry me? I like you so much and have waited for you for so long, but you don't give me any hope. Aren't you going to take the imperial examination? If your hand is broken and you become a disabled person, can you still take the imperial examination? If you can't pass the imperial examination, you will be a cripple, and then I am worthy of you."

"We have heard what you and the beggar said just now. The evidence is conclusive. Bring him back to the yamen and let you make a judgment." Captain Feng waved his hand.

Several constables arrested Su Caixia.

Su Caixia started to panic and shouted at Tang Yichen, "Brother Yichen, I love you too much, so I'll use this method to keep you. You're useless now, you can't pass the imperial examination, and you'll need someone to take care of you in the future. I'm willing to take care of you for the rest of my life, and I'm willing to marry you. Please help me plead for you and don't arrest me."

"Shut her up! Shut her mouth!" Captain Feng said impatiently.

A constable stuffed his handkerchief into her mouth.

Su Caixia moaned, her eyes full of resentment.

Even when she was dragged away, she was still staring blankly in the direction of Tang Yichen.

Captain Feng patted Tang Yichen on the shoulder and sighed softly, "Young man from the Tang family, being too popular is a sin. Don't be too sad. Maybe you can recover in a few years, and it won't be too late to take the imperial examination then."

"Thank you, Brother Feng, for what you did today." Tang Yichen bowed.

"You're welcome. We're all family, there's no need to be so formal." Captain Feng said, "Then we'll take her away. You can go back and rest early."

Captain Feng took Su Caixia away.

The beggar walked towards Tang Yichen and looked at him cautiously: "My mission is completed..."

Tang Yichen took out a string of copper coins and handed it over: "Thank you for your help today."

The beggar got the money and received a thank you from Tang Yichen, and he was completely stunned.

"Well... although your hand is disabled, you are good-looking. With your looks, there is nothing you can't do?" The beggar comforted Tang Yichen.

Tang Yichen: “…”

He didn't need such comfort.

"Don't worry, I won't get upset." Tang Yichen said calmly, "I just feel sad that I hurt an innocent person because of my own affairs."

When Tang Yichen returned to Chuan Chuan Xiang, the whole family was anxiously looking for him. Tang Lvwu was the first to spot him and strode over to greet him.

"Brother, where have you been?"

"What's wrong?" Tang Yichen asked.

"The government just tried your case. We went to the trial as soon as we heard the news. Guess what, the person who harmed you was Su Caixia." Tang Luwu said angrily.

"Su Caixia's parents are looking for you. The government rebelled against Su Caixia and sent her into exile. Her parents must want to plead with you. We are worried that if you meet them, they will do something bad to you. After all, that family is full of lunatics and have no brains. Who knows what stupid things they will do when they go crazy?" Li Taohua explained.
