The wicked mother-in-law doesn't try to whitewash herself; she only abuses her awful children.

Chapter 783 The heroine spares her life
Gu Taohua grabbed the guy at the front of the group with an iron rod and started beating him.

They beat people until they cried for their parents.

Lu Yin'er and her maid were so frightened by the iron rod that they didn't know what to do.

Too violent!

Seeing that Tong Huaqiong was holding Su Chengji, the men hesitated to move forward for fear of harming him.

They might not be able to kill the two shrewish women in front of them, at most they would suffer physical pain from the young master's anger, but if they provoked them to kill or terribly harm the young master, they would have no way out.

Gu Taohua, however, did not let them off the hook, and began to beat them indiscriminately with an iron rod.

These scoundrels who rely on their master's power are not innocent at all in being beaten.

When Su Chengji harassed women, they not only didn't stop him, but instead leered at him.

The group was beaten so badly by Gu Taohua that they cried out for mercy from the heroine.

Lu Yin'er stared in disbelief, her eyes filled with admiration for Gu Taohua.

So handsome!

Amazing!
So charming!
No wonder my cousin likes her!

Tong Huaqiong watched Lu Yin'er's starry-eyed gaze at Gu Taohua, speechless.

What a useless piece of trash! Doesn't he know how to swing that iron rod and help Gu Taohua out?

Is now the time to express worship?

She was not as good as the maidservant beside her. The maidservant was infected by Gu Taohua's fighting spirit and rushed towards the servants with an iron rod.

She swung her iron rod at the youngest of the men, who had given Su Chengji a lewd laugh when he was harassing the young mistress, looking at her as if she were a lamb falling into a tiger's den.

She knew what that look meant.

If not now, when?

At this moment, an older servant saw Tong Huaqiong grabbing Su Chengji and had a sudden idea. He seized the opportunity to grab Lu Yin'er, who was still looking at him with admiration.

Lu Yin'er screamed, her hand holding the iron rod trembling.

"Release our young master, or Miss Biao will suffer the same fate," the servant shouted at Tong Huaqiong.

Tong Huaqiong rolled her eyes at Lu Yin'er and said bluntly, "You're really useless."

One person on each side, one hostage.

Both sides refused to give in to each other.

The other person pulled out a knife and held it to Lu Yin'er. Lu Yin'er was so frightened that she closed her eyes and screamed loudly.

Gu Taohua roared, "Shut up! It's so noisy!"

During the standoff, the sound of horses' hooves echoed in the alley.

In an instant, something slashed towards the servant's face, and the servant screamed and released Lu Yin'er.

Lu Yin'er scrambled over to Tong Huaqiong's side.

Su Chengmin and Gao Ming then jumped off their horses.

The Imperial Guards were patrolling when they heard the sounds of fighting coming from the alley. Su Chengmin then led Gao Ming to investigate.

As soon as they entered the alley, they heard Lu Yin'er scream.

"Husband!" Lu Yin'er threw herself into Gao Ming's arms and cried uncontrollably.

"what happened?"

Looking at the injured servant and Su Chengji standing at Tong Huaqiong's feet, Su Chengmin knew that Su Chengji must have been the one to cause this.

But I still asked one question.

Lu Yin'er's maid, though crying, eloquently recounted in detail how Su Chengji had surrounded, harassed, and threatened Lu Yin'er.

Gao Ming held Lu Yin'er in his arms, so angry that he wanted to kill Su Chengji with his own hands.

Su Chengmin, his face ashen, stopped Gao Ming.

If Gao Ming had crippled Su Chengji, Su Shihang would have tried every means to take revenge on Gao Ming. But Su Shihang was different. How much of a "father-son relationship" did Su Shihang have with him, based on mutual exploitation?

Su Chengmin approached Su Chengji and looked down at him.

"Big brother." Su Chengji's voice trembled.

He could see the intense killing intent in Su Chengmin's eyes.

"Why do you like to flirt in the street so much? You're a disgrace to the Su family. They say the eldest brother is like a father, so as the eldest brother, I have the responsibility to educate and punish you on behalf of our father, so that you won't cause even bigger trouble in the future."

“If you can offend the wives of the Imperial Guards today, you can offend the wives of high-ranking officials tomorrow, and you might even offend the royal family. To prevent you from bringing even greater trouble to the Su family in the future, I will deal with you at the root today.” After saying this, Su Chengmin kicked Su Chengji in the crotch.

Su Chengji's vision went black, and he fainted.

Su Chengmin smiled coldly.

Su Chengji was unruly from a young age.

He forced the maids in the mansion to do things when he was thirteen years old.

Madam Lu, on the contrary, called the maid a lowly servant who had seduced Su Chengji, beat her up, and kicked her out of the mansion.

The maidservant, having lost her reputation and been driven out, had nowhere to go and hanged herself.

Over the years, Su Chengji has harmed many women; he should atone for his sins.

Letting him die a quick death would be too easy for him.

A person like him should have his most prized possessions taken away, and suffer the torment of being slowly and painlessly cut in half.

Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua exchanged a glance.

Su Chengji's lineage has been severed, and Su Chengmin no longer acknowledges the Su family. It's unknown how Su Shihang will react upon learning that his second son's second child has been cut off.

"Get out." Su Chengmin coldly looked at Su Chengji's servants.

The servants wanted to leave, but they couldn't.

They were beaten and covered in injuries by Gu Taohua.

In the end, they helped each other and dragged Su Chengji back to the Su residence.

"Thanks to Aunt Tong and Peach Blossom, otherwise I would have died here today," Lu Yin'er said to Gao Ming after Su Chengji was dragged away.

Gao Ming expressed his gratitude to Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua.

Tong Huaqiong waved her hand. She didn't like Lu Yin'er, but she couldn't stand Su Chengji's evil deeds. Even if it wasn't Lu Yin'er who was surrounded and harassed, she and Tao Hua would have stood up for her.

After a fierce battle, Gu Taohua was exhausted.

Su Chengmin escorted Gu Taohua and Tong Huaqiong home. Winter days are short, so Su Chengmin lit two lamps and tied them to the front of the carriage.

In the dim light, Tong Huaqiong saw fine snowflakes falling.

The first snow in Shengjing came earlier than in Qinghewan.

Su Mansion.

After being dragged home, Su Chengji regained consciousness after being treated by a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

Grandma Su and Su Shihang stood guard by the side.

Upon learning that Su Chengji had lost his male heir, Old Madam Su nearly fainted.

Even though she felt that Su Chengji was not as good as Su Chengmin, he was still a descendant of the Su family. Now that his lineage had been cut off, how could he continue the family line?

The eldest grandson, Su Chengmin, does not acknowledge the Su family. Even if he carries the surname Su, he might need a separate family genealogy for marriage and children.

She was extremely worried that Su Chengmin's "Su" would have no relation to the Su family in the future, and that he would not carry on the Su family line.

However, Old Madam Su was overthinking it. Even if Su Chengji had not died out, he could not possibly continue the Su family line.

The cruelest thing Min Baozhen did before her death was to give Su Chengji a sterilization drug.

However, only Old Mrs. Min knew about this.

"How could he be so heartless? He's trying to wipe out the Su family. If the descendants of the Su family die out, how will I face my ancestors after I pass away?"

Grandma Su cried and berated Su Chengmin mercilessly.

"Father, my elder brother is so ruthless, are you just going to stand by and watch?"

Su Chengji was filled with despair and pinned his hopes on Su Shihang to avenge him.

"My elder brother has treated me so badly, Father, you must give me justice. I don't ask you to take his life, I only ask you to use family law on him so that I can get what I deserved from him in full," Su Chengji said, filled with despair and tears.

Su Shihang's face turned ashen.

If he could, he would kill Su Chengmin with his own hands.

"You unfilial son."

It's unclear whether Su Shihang's words were directed at Su Chengmin or Su Chengji.

“You’ve become the way you are today because your mother spoiled you. Even if I punish your older brother, I can’t bring you back to your former self. You’re already like this, so you should stay home and rest from now on. Don’t even think about taking revenge on your older brother, or even I won’t be able to protect you,” Su Shihang said to his youngest son.

Su Chengji's voice cracked with grief and indignation as he shouted "Father!"

Su Shihang walked out expressionlessly.
