Had there been any previous indications of trouble on Su Long’s side?
Su Yu explained Li Yan’s situation to Wang Jinhe.
“In that case, won’t Uncle be…” Wang Jinhe expressed concern.
“Yeah, I hope the uncle’s real wife is still alive. Otherwise, I don’t know how Big Brother will react.” Su Yu said helplessly.
“Didn’t anyone notice it back then?”
“The doctor said her emotional changes were due to her injuries, and no one suspected otherwise. Who would have thought it would turn out like this?” Su Yu was also quite frustrated about the situation.
Wang Jinhe thought about it and felt it was indeed the case. But now, she was worried that after Li Yan was found, she might harbor resentment towards Big Brother.
“Su Yu, do you think if uncle’s real wife is found alive, will she resent uncle?” Wang Jinhe’s current concern was this.
“That’s possible. Imagine being a husband and not knowing that your wife had been replaced a long time ago. It’s not something anyone would be happy about.” Su Yu remarked, understanding the gravity of the situation.
Wang Jinhe thought about it and agreed, “You’re right. Uncle is also a victim. I hope they can reconcile when the time comes.”
“Yes…..”
On the other side, after being beaten, Li Yan harbored resentment towards Su Long.
After her injuries healed somewhat, she left the Su family on her own and went to another place.
Li Yan arrived at an inconspicuous courtyard where two old maids were present. Seeing her approach, their eyes flickered slightly, “Madam, you’ve come.”
“Where is she?”
“Downstairs.”
Ignoring the two old maids, Li Yan went downstairs directly.
Looking at the imprisoned person, Li Yan’s eyes were filled with anger. Despite being locked up for so long, she remained unchanged.
This made Li Yan feel extremely embarrassed.
She tried everything to humiliate this woman, but she remained indifferent, as if she didn’t care about anything.
Even when talking about her two children, she seemed indifferent.
It was as if nothing mattered to her anymore.
“I really dislike you in this way.”
The person locked up turned to look at Li Yan and suddenly laughed, “It seems you’ve already aroused suspicion from my husband.”
“Shut up! Do you think I really wouldn’t dare to do anything to you?” Li Yan retorted angrily.
In these past few years, despite keeping her distance from Su Long, Su Long never laid a hand on her. Whenever they were together, Su Long would always leave directly, never resting in her courtyard.
The first couple of times, she convinced herself it was accidental, but over time, she began to resent Su Long.
She wanted to ruin the lives of Su Long’s two outstanding children.
However, she failed. Their two children had grown up, and Su Long protected them fiercely. This time, she thought she could ruin Su Shan, only to find out that Su Shan had gone to complain to Su Long.
If it weren’t for Su Shan, that brat, how could she have ended up getting beaten?
“Li Yan, feeling lonely here? Don’t worry; someone will accompany you soon. I want to see if, even if you appear in front of Su Long, he’ll still protect you like a treasure.” Both daughters of the Li family, why could Li Yan marry the young master of the Su family, while she could only marry into a merchant’s family?
And the reason the person married her was surprisingly because he couldn’t obtain Li Yan’s love.
So, he took her, the twin sister, as a substitute.
Every time she heard her husband calling out another woman’s name, who could understand the hatred in her heart.
“Li Yan, you won’t succeed.” Li Yan looked at the people outside.
No one should dare to insult her. If Li Yan dared to do so, she would dare to die right here. It’s just that not being able to see her children and husband again made her feel a bit regretful.
“Li Yan, just wait. Soon, you’ll become a woman everyone can enjoy. I want Su Long to suffer to ease my deep-seated hatred.”
A figure quietly left outside, and soon arrived at Su Yu’s house: “Young Master, we’ve found her.”
“In what location?” Su Yu looked at the undercover guards he had sent to monitor Li Yan.
“At an old house in the east of the city. We must rescue the person as soon as possible because the lady now hates the master for not pleading for her before. She has turned her hatred towards the master and wants to take revenge on that person.”
“I understand. Let’s go. Yuan Bao, go inform Uncle and the others to come over.”
“Yes.”
As Su Yu followed the guards, Li Yan had already left, leaving only the two old maids there.
Seeing Su Yu entering with people, the two old maids were startled.
“Who are you?”
“I’m not looking for you. Get out of the way.” Su Yu coldly eyed the two old maids.
“Are you here for that lady? We’ll take you to her, hoping that you’ll spare us afterward.” The lady is kind, and they don’t want to see her in this condition.
They didn’t dare to help earlier because they were afraid of retaliation from Li Yan, and they had family members to worry about.
Now that their family has come looking for them, they have no psychological burden.
“Fine.”
Su Yu followed the two old maids to find Li Yan.
When he saw Li Yan, who was locked up, Su Yu glanced at the guards beside him, “Open it.”
Li Yan, leaning against the wall with her eyes closed, thought it was Li Yan returning when she heard the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar voice. She turned abruptly upon hearing it.
Seeing Su Yu appearing here, Li Yan’s eyes were filled with astonishment, “Xiao Yu, why are you here?”
Su Yu was raised with her help alongside Su Xi, so he naturally recognized who the person in front of him was.
“Aunt, now is not the time to discuss this. Let’s leave first,” Su Yu said to Li Yan.
“Okay.” If it were someone else, she might be skeptical, but this is a person she had watched grow up, she have taken care of him since childhood—she trusted him.
Being locked up for a long time, if it weren’t for the two maids secretly taking care of her, she wouldn’t even know what she looked like now.
Seeing Li Yan struggling to stand, Su Yu walked over and lifted her, carrying her out.
As he carried Li Yan outside, she instinctively closed her eyes, unable to withstand the piercing sunlight after being in a dim place for so long.
“Aunt, keep your eyes closed for now. We’ll talk once we get back.” Being confined in a dim place for a long time and suddenly facing bright sunlight could be very harsh on the eyes.
“Okay.”
Su Yu gave each of the two maids five hundred taels of silver, “Don’t take anything else, just leave.”
“Okay.”
The two maids took their valuable belongings and left. Before leaving, they looked at Li Yan with some concern, “Madam, we’re leaving. Take care.”
“You take care too.”
After the people left, Su Yu prepared to take Li Yan back. Just as they stepped out, they saw Li Yan with several dirty and ugly men approaching.
When Li Yan saw Su Yu carrying someone on his back, her anger flared, “Su Yu, how dare you ruin my plans.”
“Just dealing with a fake.” Even those with audacious courage around Li Yan knew who Su Yu was.
“Master, we didn’t do anything. She told us to come,” one of them tremblingly pointed at Li Yan and said.
Li Yan, hearing how easily they betrayed her, scornfully said, “Useless.”
