Everyone felt very uncomfortable after they heard what Su Tang said.

She has worked very hard to take care of her younger brother by herself, and she still made time to think about her dead mother. What a nice girl.

Now she was begging for mercy for her grandmother.

It could be seen that she really didn't know that her grandmother took the money.

People around who had just eaten the free breakfast of Su Tang couldn't help but speak up for her: "We just called to report to the official. Miss Su didn't know about it herself."

"Yes, she only knows that she lost the money, but she didn't know that her grandmother took it."

"This is pitiful to see. We encouraged this kid to report to the officials, but we didn't expect it to be a domestic thief."

"It was not her fault even if she incorrectly reported it to the government."

Governor Pei sighed and looked at Su Grandmother and said: "You took the family's money. You should have spoken in the first place! Why did you take it without asking? You made everyone think that the family was robbed."

Grandma Su almost spit out a mouthful of blood, and tried to explain: "I told her when she was about to report to the officials!"

Su Tang frowned: "You only told me that it was Wang Wu's wife who stole the money. I didn't believe it, so I had to report it to the official."

"Yeah! Everyone heard it just now! This old woman slandered Wang Wu's wife."

"Yes, we all heard it. She said it as if Wang Wu's wife was the one who stole the money. What she said was that nothing happened before she came, but now that she arrived the money suddenly disappeared."

"Oh, my God! Disaster would have fallen on the head of Wang Wu's wife if we didn't report it to the officers and the owner didn't trust her."

"This old woman is not a good person either. I come here every day to buy breakfast. She doesn't do any work and is very harsh on her granddaughter. "

"My brother has been here as a worker a few days ago. I heard him say that the old woman had been staring at her granddaughter's purse."

"Was there such a thing?"

"Could it be that this old lady has long aimed for her money?"

"If you want money, just say it. After all, she is your granddaughter. Would she not give it to you?"

"My brother heard Miss Su explain that there is not much money in the family. It cost a lot of money to send her younger brother to a private school and not to mention that they recently renovated the house. Miss Su just had a little money right now, and she said that she would definitely give her money when she had some more on hand."

"Yes! If she were rich, she wouldn't have to get up early in the morning and sell breakfast in the dark."

"Even so, Miss Su is serving this old woman with good food and drink every day."

"Today she took the money away, so Miss Su had no money to buy meat. She still owes the butcher's family money."

Oh my god! She still took their money in this circumstance? Is there a grandmother who acts like this?

There were a lot of discussions going around.

Even if the ethics of filial piety were important, it was being overwhelmed by one thing after another by the 'good' deeds of Grandma Su.

Besides, there were only two siblings here before. One was sixteen years old, and the other was just seven years old.

Grandma Su was not considered very old by the peoples' standards. She was an older lady who came to visit and made irresponsible remarks every day. How could there be such an elder?

What everyone said was also seen by many people with their own eyes. Even if Su Tang said nothing, people could confirm the stories with each other.

Governor Pei came to a decision as he listened to the surrounding people. This lady had committed a crime.

The circumstances of this little girl were heartbreaking as well.

Seeing that she was still crying, Governor Pei frowned: "Your grandmother came, and you have done everything you can to be filial. You have fulfilled your responsibilities. Although there was a misunderstanding when you reported to the officer, it was not your fault. What's your name and who else is in the family?"

Su Tang replied: "Replying to my lord, this little girl's name is Su Jin Tang. There is only one younger brother in my family. My mother died early and my father also passed away from illness a few days ago. My grandmother was called over by my second aunt next door. I have always had a poor relationship with my second aunt, so I don't have a way to contact her."

"Second aunt? That is also your elder. Why do you have a bad relationship with them?" Governor Pei asked.

Governor Pei just finished speaking. He suddenly felt that the name Su Jin Tang was really familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

An officer next to him whispered quickly: "Because her second aunt robbed her house and injured her face."

They still remember the last time they were here!

It was certainly not with good intentions that her second aunt called over the grandmother.

Governor Pei thought over the relations of this family, and his mood was a little uncomfortable for a while.

What relatives are these?!

Bullying people who don't have their parents! These people actually did this kind of thing!

They could still see the scar on the little girl's face!

Su Tang said softly: "Thank you for your help last time. I could finally bring back the belongings to our home. My second aunt didn't dare to come to my house either for a while, but for some reason my second aunt brought my grandmother over a few days ago. She said that I should be filial to my elders. I must not neglect her and give the best meals. She also told me that the family's money was best given to my grandmother. However, I really don't have much money on hand recently."

Su Tang didn't add fuel and vinegar to this remark. What she repeated were the exact words of second aunt Su.

When everyone else heard this statement, it was obvious that the vicious aunt caused this incident.

She probably encouraged grandmother Su to take the money.

But this grandmother was not a good person either. What normal elder would come to their grandchildren who have lost their parents and ask for money?

This was just bullying Miss Su!

Governor Pei asked the officer to bring second Aunt Su over. They found her watching the excitement behind the crowd so the officers could catch her right away.

Grandma Su still didn't know why things had reached this point.

She started panicking when she heard everyone whisper about her again. Saying things like she was rude for her age.

Grandmother Su was so frightened that she directly pointed at Aunt Su to push the blame on her.

"It's all her fault! She said that my granddaughter is disobedient and always spends money indiscriminately. She asked me to come to take care of it."

Second Aunt Su also lost her mind as well when she heard Grandmother Su throwing dirty water at her.

She retorted: "Was it not because you heard that Su Tang is making money in the city that you insisted on coming here? Weren't you thinking of using Su Tang's money to get your eldest grandson a wife?"

"You are just talking nonsense! I am your mother-in-law! How could you speak such nonsense!?"

"Nonsense? How could there be such a mother-in-law like you? You almost sold Su Tang's father to a chef. It was only after he opened a restaurant that you came to his home to claim this family property? Who in the village doesn't know these things."

There were some soft-hearted women in the crowd that couldn't help but shed tears after hearing all of this.

What kind of family were these people? They should die by a thousand swords.

What was bullying grandchildren? These elders were simply wolves!

Qi Tian Yun was outside, secretly frowning while listening to the voices inside.

At first, he felt that what Su Tang was doing was inappropriate, even if there was a reason for it.

But after hearing these things, he only felt distressed for her. She was usually silent and always smiled when she spoke.

Unexpectedly, she was secretly bullied like this.

Shi Ding clenched his fists tight: "This is too much! How can there be such an elder?! Marquis, you must help her."

Qi Tian Yun's deep gaze peered inside and he softly said: "No need to help. She can solve it!"

Today's matter was her solution.

This was for everyone to see. If these people came to cause trouble again, they would get scolded by thousands of people.

Sure enough, the people watching inside were already secretly scolding Aunt Su and Grandmother Su.

But because the officers were there, they couldn't do anything.

The officers themselves were also shocked! How could there be such a grandmother?

She came to cheat her granddaughter's money with her daughter-in-law.

The money would have gone to this old lady's hands if they didn't report this incident today.

The old woman would have also raided the silver hairpin that Miss Su bought for her mother.

Governor Pei also couldn't stop shaking his head when he spoke: "You two women! One selfish and mean, and the other thin-skinned and ungrateful How could there be such elders like you?"

"Second Aunt Su, you brought your mother-in-law here thinking about the money of Miss Su's family next door, right?"

"And you Grandmother Su! Your granddaughter, Su Jin Tang, respects you as an elder, but you have no character of an elder. I just heard that your Su family has long been separated, so what does the marriage of the son of the eldest family have to do with Su Tang's fourth family? And you want her to pay for it?"

Usually, when Governor Pei was in front of Qi Tian Yun he had to be the flatter, but here he felt very majestic by listening to the praises of the people.

He spoke loudly and the surrounding people who heard him couldn't help but clap their hands.

That's right! The governor speaks the words in our hearts!

Second Aunt Su and Grandmother Su didn't dare refute his statements. The biggest official they saw was just the chief of officers.

They had never seen the governor of the capital. They were so scared that they couldn't say a word, and could only kowtow and admit their mistakes.

Su Tang listened to this and saluted him with her hands: "Normally, I heard people talk about Lord Governor being virtuous and righteous. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, the praises were really not false statements."

If someone else said this, he would have felt that they just wanted to flatter him. However, Su Tang was just a girl who was only sixteen years old, so her words felt more heartfelt when they came out of her mouth.

People around her also followed her example and praised Governor Pei.

Governor Pei didn't expect this when he was just dealing with such a trivial matter. This was much more 'rewarding' than his usual office tasks.

He would lend another hand to Su Tang since that was the case.

Lord Pei continued: "When you divided the family, the eldest house took more family assets, so they could support you. Since this is the case, don't take the money from the fourth house! Return the money purse and the silver hairpin to them now."

"There is also second Aunt Su, who just said that Su Jin Tang, Su Jin Hang, and their father gave you ten taels of silver before their father died. Now, this official orders you to return this to these siblings!"
