Chapter 215 A Good Farewell
Under the protection of Wu Bin and his subordinates, Su Li came to the Zhongtan Street in Yunjing City. At the moment, the ranks of prisoners exiled from the jails of the Supreme Judiciary had been very long. There were many bystanders on the street. When they saw Wu Bin and others wearing luxury clothes come, they immediately made way.
The movement attracted the attention of many prisoners.
Zhu Yan was one of them. She still had a bit of illusion in her heart. She did not believe that Su Li, who always cared about and pampered her so much, would not have any remedial measures this time. As long as Su Li was willing to help her, Lord Rui would agree to set her free!
When she turned around and saw Wu Bin, she looked afraid with a pale face. But then when she saw Su Li next to Wu Bin, she was ecstatic. She instantly rushed over without hesitation and screamed desperately,
“Li! Li!! My daughter! I’m your mom! Get me out of here!”
The Royal Guards was on the alert. They immediately stopped Zhu Yan, who looked crazy. Zhu Yan was pinned to the ground by them soon. But her limbs were still desperately struggling. She kept shouting,
“Li! Is your conscience eaten by a dog? Come on! Save me! Mom is about to be crushed. I almost die! I almost die!”
Such a big movement attracted bystanders’ attention, including Su Li. She actually found Zhu Yan from the beginning and witnessed the course of the incident. But she pretended to not find Zhu Yan.
“Butler, check it out.”
Su Li told Wu Bin. Wu Bin was quite worried about Su Li and glanced at her. Then he finally walked over with his subordinates.
When Hu Dadan, the leader of the Royal Guards, saw Wu Bin, he immediately was about to salute. Wu Bin reached out to stop him. Then Hu Dadan saw Su Li behind Wu Bin. He immediately looked serious and stood straight. He saluted and said,
“Best wishes to Princess Li!”
Su Li nodded slightly and whispered softly, “Commander Hu, you’re so polite. This woman, Mrs. Zhu, is related to me. Can you let me talk to her for a while?”
Wu Bin was relieved. Su Li used to forgive Zhu Yan’s mistakes without any bottom line. He was really afraid that Su Li would make a request to release Zhu Yan. If so, that would be a trouble.
Hu Dadan didn’t think so much. He nodded with a smile and said, “I must obey your order. But all prisoners must leave the city before noon. Please make a long story short.”
Su Li shook her head and smiled. She said, “It’s not 7:00 yet, and I won’t take that long. Thanks for the trouble.”
“My pleasure.”
Hu Dadan seemed to feel extremely flattered, but he actually felt comfortable in his heart. He thought that though the princess used to be a civilian, she was more courteous than those highborn misses.
Hu Dadan left with his subordinates. Wu Bin’s subordinates were as good as the Royal Guards. They could protect Su Li well.
“My Li.”
Zhu Yan managed to stand up and looked around. She was surrounded by the troops of the Lord Rui’s Mansion. She was very afraid. She clutched Su Li’s thigh tightly and said, “Li, I really know that I was wrong this time. For the sake of taking you back and bringing you up, help mom!”
Su Li puckered her lips and bent down to push aside Zhu Yan’s hands which was full of black mud. Then she turned her head and glanced at Wu Bin.
Wu Bin understood tacitly at once. He asked everyone to turn around and neither to see nor hear. He also stayed outside the circle, leaving space for Su Li.
Seeing Su Li’s glance could have such a great power, Zhu Yan was full of hope.
That’s right!
Now Su Li was the princess. It was much easier for Su Li to set her free!
Su Li kept silent. She squatted down to look at Zhu Yan, who was only about one foot away from her. She put her hands in her sleeves and then took out a jug of wine and a wine glass. Next, she slowly poured a glass of wine and put it in front of Zhu Yan who looked confused.
“Li, I ask you to help me out rather than drink. Did you hear my words?”
Zhu Yan grabbed Su Li’s hand. Some liquor spilled from the glass. Looking at the sleeves wet by the wine, Su Li suddenly showed a charming smile. Her laughter was like a silver bell. She said,
“Mom, if you drink this glass of parting wine poured by myself, maybe I will be in a good mood and help you…”
Zhu Yan’s eyes brightened up. She sat up and asked, “Li, really?”
“Yes. Have I lied before?”
Su Li’s smile was innocent and pure as usual. But Zhu Yan did not know that the meaning behind the “innocent and pure” smile was not simple from the beginning.
“Okay, I drink!”
Zhu Yan snatched the wine glass in Su Li’s hand for fear that Su Li would regret. She drank it quickly and then looked at Su Li with hope.
But she was disappointed. Su Li laughed more happily but did nothing.
“You lied to me, didn’t you?!”
Zhu Yan grabbed Su Li’s neckline angrily and stared at Su Li’s calm eyes. She was so angry that she shouted, “You are my daughter, so you must listen to me! Ask them to go away soon and set me free! I assure that I will never bother you anymore and never come to Yunjing City again. Li…”
Clap!
Su Li grabbed Zhu Yan’s hand and gradually put forth her strength. She could even hear the sound of bones.
Zhu Yan was so painful that her face became deformed. She was in a cold sweat. She never knew that Su Li, who was too thin, had such great strength. She raised her head and glanced at Su Li who looked down at her. She suddenly felt cold with no reason and stopped struggling.
It turned out that Su Li was not a gentle cat who could be always bullied. She didn’t know when her energy became so powerful. It seemed that she was born in the royal family and was a myriad of stars surrounded the moon.
“Do you remember Mammy Zheng? She disappeared, right?”
Su Li suddenly mentioned a person. Zhu Yan trembled and was scared. Her face was paler. She said, “Do you know… where she is?”
Su Li giggled in a low voice and moved close to Zhu Yan’s ear. She said gently, “I buried her… in the virgin forest outside Dasu Town.”
Zhu Yan trembled uncontrollably and said, “How… how could it be possible?! At that time… you were only 14 years old. You were short and thin, like a bean sprout. Mammy Zheng was half taller than you…”
She refused to believe it. She couldn’t believe that Su Li had pretended to grin and bear bullying all the time on purpose. Didn’t that mean that she, who bullied Su Li and treated Su Li as a fool, was really an idiot?!!
It turned out that Su Li wasn’t lucky. Instead, Su Li bore everything in her mind and avoided those in a way that she could not understand. However, she still stupidly thought that it was because the destiny gave her chances to be alive again and again!
“You wanted to kill me several times. Mammy Zheng, the killers of the Blood Refining Hall, and Mam. Su-Cui who you united later… Do you know why I let you go and forgave you again and again?”
Su Li turned the wine glass in her hand. She smiled like a demon in Zhu Yan’s eyes. She said, “It was because I wanted to see what you and Third Sister could accomplish in this life. I wanted to watch you climb the highest cliff and then push you down. That feeling is really… wonderful, isn’t it?!”
“Do you remember the rotting-heart pill that you gave to Mammy Zheng? I remade it and gave it back to you. Enjoy your journey next… You don’t have much time left.”
Su Li stood up with a smile. After undoing the knot in her mind, she felt very relaxed at the moment.
Zhu Yan kept her eyes widely open, as if it was the first time that she had seen Su Li.
This ruthless and vicious woman… Was she Su Li really?!!
Clap! Clap! Clap!
She slapped herself several times vigorously. It hurt… It was not a dream.
Tears immediately flowed down from her bloodshot eyes. She stretched out to grab Su Li’s face with a ferocious and horrible face. She shouted, “You are a devil. Son of a bitch! I am your adoptive mother. How can you be so inhuman… Even if I’m dead, you will not have an easy time. I’ll scratch your face!”
“Catch her!”
Wu Bin immediately turned around and controlled the crazy Zhu Yan. Four persons pressed her limbs. Zhu Yan could only lie on the ground and groan. She looked at Su Li, who stood up and ignored her. She felt that everything around her seemed to be far away from her.
Her life came to an end. She failed… She was defeated by Su Li completely. There was no chance for her to stage a comeback.
