Chapter 135 Granny Liu Gets Beaten for Making Trouble

Su Xiaoxiao was very polite. Not only was she not angry, she also very politely invited Grandma Liu to come in for the wedding banquet.

"Su Xiaoxiao, stop acting here. What are you pretending for? Last time you tied me to a tree, you made me lose face and even sent my poor eldest son, Liu Dazhuang, to jail. You are a heartless woman. And you're pretending to be kind here, treating the whole village to a meal. I think you're just trying to win people over so you can harm them in the future."

Su Xiaoxiao was amused and annoyed. "What do you mean by trying to win people's hearts? Everyone came to the feast because they're happy that I've built such a big house. How could I refuse them and not let them come?"

The village head realized that the matter couldn't be allowed to escalate to this point.

He quickly came over and said, "Grandma Liu, please give me some face and don't spoil everyone's mood."

When Granny Liu saw this, everyone sided with Su Xiaoxiao. Even her old friend, who always followed her around complaining about Su Xiaoxiao, had betrayed her. Granny Wang, that wretched woman, was still standing in the crowd behind Su Xiaoxiao.

This was the first time Grandma Liu had felt isolated by the entire village, and it seemed to be true; she was looked down upon by everyone in the village.

Everyone is in such a good mood today, except for Granny Liu, who's standing here like a madwoman.

Even if she didn't care about her reputation, she still felt a little embarrassed. Grandma Liu felt as if she had been betrayed by everyone, so she turned around and ran away immediately.

Looking at her mournful back, anyone who didn't know better would think that Su Xiaoxiao had bullied her, but in fact Su Xiaoxiao hadn't said anything.

This was just a minor incident and it passed quickly.

After the villagers finished their meal in a lively atmosphere, some packed up their leftovers, while others took their return gifts and left.

Sun and Wang Er stayed behind to help Su Xiaoxiao tidy up the dining table in the yard. After all the commotion, Su Xiaoxiao truly felt that she was about to have a new beginning and move into a big house.

Everything was going smoothly, which reassured Su Xiaoxiao so she could focus on her own things. However, something happened with Da Bao and Xiao Bao. Actually, to be precise, it wasn't Da Bao and Xiao Bao, but rather that they were on vacation.

It turned out that Liu Zi'an had been arrested for allegedly cheating in the provincial examination. When Su Xiaoxiao found out about this, she immediately denied it, saying, "That's impossible. Don't I know Liu Zi'an's character?"

Su Xiaoxiao was shocked, but since the people sent from the capital had arrested Liu Zian, they must have been absolutely certain of their success.

Grandma Wang was crying her eyes out. Although Su Xiaoxiao was now living in a new house and no longer lived with Grandma Wang, so she couldn't hear the crying, she could still imagine that Grandma Wang must be very sad and upset.

Liu Zian is Granny Wang's only hope for living. If Liu Zian commits a crime and is arrested, he will lose all his good fortune and fame. Wouldn't Granny Wang end up in a terrible state?
According to Da Bao, when he returned and told Su Xiaoxiao that his teacher Liu Zi'an was arrested, a large number of soldiers came, and it was clear that they had come prepared.

Two days after Liu Zian was arrested, Su Xiaoxiao heard that Granny Wang and her husband, Old Man Liu, had both rushed to the capital to try to rescue Liu Zian.

Ultimately, they were just ordinary people; how could they possibly have the opportunity to enter the Dali Temple's prison to rescue people, or even visit them in prison?

However, through several students who had participated in the provincial examination with Liu Zi'an, it was learned that the article Liu Zi'an wrote during the provincial examination was plagiarized, and the evidence was conclusive. Only then did the Dali Temple order Liu Zi'an to be arrested.

Liu Zi'an was thus arrested and imprisoned, told that a decision would be made after the palace examination. Ultimately, the Emperor would likely make the final judgment. Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao felt quite worried for Liu Zi'an.

After a period of silence, Su Xiaoxiao said to Dabao, "Don't worry, Dabao. If your teacher is wronged, I will definitely seek justice for him."

Da Bao clapped his hands happily, "Mom, I believe Teacher Liu must have been wronged. Mom, you must help our Teacher Liu."

Liu Zi'an has always been good to Su Xiaoxiao. Last time, when Granny Liu sent that man who insisted on becoming a live-in son-in-law to annoy Su Xiaoxiao, wasn't it Liu Zi'an who helped get rid of him? What more can be said? How could such a kind man like Liu Zi'an do such a thing?

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't believe it was true; if it was about saving lives, there was no time to lose.

If they arrive late, Liu Zian might be tortured beyond recognition by those people from the Dali Temple. He's physically weak, and if he's forced to confess, he might end up being tortured into confessing. That wouldn't be good.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly went out and harnessed the mule cart, then entrusted Da Bao and Xiao Bao to Aunt Wang's care.

Actually, Su Xiaoxiao decided to help Liu Zi'an this time not only to help him, but also to help herself.

She decided to take this opportunity to learn about the market situation in Beijing and see if her jam could be successfully sold in the city's markets.

Su Xiaoxiao prepared food for the next few days and brought enough money with her. This was her first time in the capital, and she was going alone. She was a little worried and very uneasy. She wondered what she had to do to save Liu Zi'an.
Could it be that she had to break out of prison to rescue people? She didn't seem to have that kind of ability. Suddenly, she thought of Qian Musheng.

It seems that Qian Musheng should have some connections. After all, he is the Tenth Prince's senior brother and saved the Tenth Prince last time. Surely he can help me.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxiao drove the carriage to find Qian Musheng.

When they arrived at Qian Musheng's house, they found that Qian Musheng was not home.

He went to the capital? What a coincidence! Su Xiaoxiao could hardly believe it, so she asked Xiaodengzi.

"Your master has gone to the capital. What's the matter?"

The little stool replied, "He went to the capital to handle some business matters. He left last night. He didn't take me with him, only the little table..."

It turns out that Qian Musheng had two attendants, Xiaodeng and Xiaozhuozi. Xiaozhuozi knew martial arts and could protect Qian Musheng closely.

Xiao Dengzi is quick-witted and suitable for helping Qian Musheng handle urgent matters at home.

Seeing that Xiao Dengzi also looked very anxious, Su Xiaoxiao said to him, "Do you want to go to the capital to find your young master?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Dengzi clapped his hands and said, "Great! I didn't have a reason to go to the capital to find him anyway. Boss Su, don't you have something to ask him? I'll take you with me to find him."
