A transmigrated woman ruined my whole family; I was reborn, seized a spatial ability, and had a full

Although the village was filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year, the Su family seemed to be shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

Su Yao's elopement weighed heavily on everyone's minds, leaving them with heavy worries.

To the outside world, the Su family only claimed that Su Yao was ill and had gone to the city for medical treatment, thus temporarily concealing their elopement.

But everyone knew in their hearts that this lie wouldn't last long.

Su Li didn't care at all whether Su Yao lived or died; her only concern was about Tao Hua.

The matter between Tao Hua and Tang Zhengqing cannot be delayed any longer.

Before the new year, we need to find an opportunity to go to Yun County to inquire whether there really is a Tangjia Village, and whether there really is a missing young master in the Tang family.

She quietly packed some local produce from her home, along with two jars of fine wine, and hurried to the dock.

The dock was packed with boats.

Workers loading and unloading goods came and went, their shouts and calls filling the air.

Su Li spotted Manager Yu directing the operation and quickly stepped forward, bowing respectfully: "Manager Yu, I apologize for disturbing you, but I have an urgent matter I would like to ask for your help with."

Manager Yu stopped what he was doing, turned around and saw Su Li. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Why are you here on such a cold day? What's wrong? Tell me."

"Manager Yu, you've always dealt with merchant ships at the docks and have a wide network of connections. I'd like to inquire whether it's possible to take a merchant ship to Yun County?"

Manager Yu frowned: "Yun County is a long way away. It's really not safe for a teenage girl like you to travel such a long distance alone."

Su Li's eyes were firm, and her words were earnest: "Manager Yu, this matter is truly urgent, and I must go. I hope you will grant my request."

Manager Yu stared at Su Li for a moment, then sighed:

"Alright, a boat will make a brief stop here the day after tomorrow morning. The boat captain and I have been friends for many years. You can take this boat to Yun County. But remember, the waterway is closed on the way back, so you'll have to go by land."

Upon hearing this, Su Li's eyes lit up instantly, and she thanked him repeatedly.

Back home, Su Li steeled herself and made up an excuse for her parents:

"Father, Mother, Steward Yu values ​​my cleverness and wants to promote me. He wants me to go south with the merchant ship to Yun County to see if there are any new business opportunities there. Maybe he can find a way for our family to make money, which will be of great use to our family in the future."

"Don't worry, with the boat captain taking care of me, I'll be fine."

Despite their hesitation and deep concern, the parents eventually nodded in agreement.

With mixed feelings, Su Li hurriedly boarded the merchant ship.

The sails slowly rose, and the boat sailed away from the shore, creating ripples on the river.

Unexpectedly, no sooner had she left than the Su family was thrown into an uproar.

The market was bustling with people, and the noise rose and fell.

A lavishly decorated carriage sped through the crowd, its intricate carvings and flowing curtains drawing the attention of passersby who automatically made way for it.

Before the carriage had even come to a complete stop, the curtain was suddenly ripped open by a large hand.

Su Yao's face was ashen, her eyes wide open, filled with terror and disbelief.

Immediately afterwards, she was shoved off the bus without any mercy, and stumbled and fell to the ground.

Young Master Dong wore a brocade robe, a jade crown, and a jade pendant at his waist. He stood tall and straight, yet exuded a chilling indifference.

He strode down from the carriage, glanced down at Su Yao, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips:

"Hmph, look at you! You're nothing but a self-deluded woman, trying to curry favor with me. How utterly laughable!"

His voice wasn't loud, but every word cut into Su Yao's heart like an ice knife, cold and ruthless.

Su Yao collapsed to the ground, her hair disheveled and scattered on both sides of her face, her skirt covered in dust, and tears streaming down her face like a burst dam.

"Dong Lang, how could you do this to me? For you, I abandoned everything, risked ruining my reputation, broke with my family, and happily eloped with you. How could you... how could you tire of me so quickly?"

Her voice trembled violently, filled with endless despair.

The surrounding crowd instantly gathered around, pointing and whispering among themselves.

"Isn't this the Su family's daughter? How did she end up in such a state?"

"Alas, this young lady didn't respect herself, and now she's ended up like this!"

"Didn't you say you were recuperating at home? How did you end up here..."

The news spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the village.

Su Yao was filled with grief. Even after returning home, she continued to cry, her eyes vacant, staring at the ceiling and muttering to herself:

"God, why are you so unfair? What did I do wrong?"

Upon learning of this, the Wang family immediately led a group of people to the Wang family's home to annul the engagement.

Uncle Su was so angry that his face turned ashen, veins bulged on his forehead, his fists clenched, and his eyes wide with fury.

"You disgraceful wretch! With this commotion, how will your brother ever face anyone in school again? How will he ever take the exams? You've completely disgraced the Su family!"

The Su family members looked at her, their brows furrowed, their hearts filled with irritation.

Old Master Su sat in the main seat of the hall with a stern face.

The family's reputation, which they had worked so hard to maintain, has now been ruined by this brat. How will the Su family ever be able to hold their heads high in the village and the surrounding area again?

Grandma Su stomped her feet in anger, pointed at Su Yao, and cursed her, spitting as she spoke:

"You shameless good-for-nothing! I should lock you up all the time so you don't embarrass yourself in public! Look at the mess you've made! You've ruined the reputation of the Su family. How dare you come back here? Your mother is useless too. How could she raise such a good-for-nothing like you!"

Zhou stood to the side with her head down, tears welling up in her eyes, but she dared not utter a sound.

She knew in her heart that her daughter had made a big mistake, but after all, she was her own flesh and blood. How could she feel good seeing her daughter suffer?

Uncle Su sighed and said to Grandpa Su:

"Dad, what should we do? The Wang family is taking a hard line and there's no room for negotiation. Our lives in the village are going to be tough from now on."

Old Master Su closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and after a long while slowly spoke:

"Now that things have come to this, let's appease the Wang family first and see if we can salvage some face. As for this girl..."

Grandpa Su opened his eyes, looked at Su Yao, and his eyes were filled with disappointment and heartache.

"Let's lock her up first and let her reflect on her actions so she won't embarrass herself again. After some time, we'll find an honest, hardworking farmer and marry her off far away to avoid any more trouble."

With her eyes red and swollen, Su Yao cried and tried to rush out the door when she heard that she was to be married off to someone else at will: "I want to find Dong Lang! He was just saying that in anger, he must have misunderstood. He wouldn't be so heartless!"

Grandpa Su was so angry that he slammed his hand on the table: "Shut up! Aren't you ashamed enough? We can't even explain this to the Wang family, and you still dare to go out and find that wild man?"

Grandma Su chimed in, yelling, "You stubborn girl! You're still thinking about that heartless man! You've completely disgraced the Su family!"

Su Yao ignored everything and struggled desperately, her eyes filled with stubbornness and madness:

"No! I'd rather die than marry those peasants. My heart belongs only to Dong Lang, and he will definitely marry me!"
