Chapter 2083 Masked Woman
Chapter 2083 Masked Woman
Noon the next day.
As soon as Wan Shufang opened the door, she found a masked woman outside. She was slightly startled and asked softly: "Who are you and why are you in front of my door?"
The woman was sitting on the ground, and it was obvious that she had been waiting for a long time.
She looked up at Wan Shufang, her lips trembling, and after a long while she finally uttered a few words: "I'm here to turn myself in."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, the faces of the villagers in the house changed drastically, and they immediately climbed out the window to find the village chief. Wan Shufang and the masked woman were unaware of all this.
"Surrender?" She looked at the woman in confusion, only to see her take off her veil, revealing a face that looked exactly like Su Yueshuang.
But Su Yueshuang had already died, and the person in front of him was Su Yuehua.
Almost in an instant, Wan Shufang figured out everything and nodded calmly: "Then tell me why you want to turn yourself in and what you did."
After these words came out, Su Yuehua trembled. She took a deep breath, as if she had made enough mental preparations, and then she said: "Madam, I killed Su Yueshuang, and I also took Yuanyuan away. I am willing to accept the punishment."
Seeing that Su Yuehua admitted everything frankly, Wan Shufang was a little surprised. After all, since she was able to take Yuanyuan away, she would not easily admit her guilt.
But what Wan Shufang didn't know was that last night, Yuanyuan used the excuse that she was not well yet and begged Su Yuehua to stay for another night. That night, she told Su Yuehua many things.
This also includes the things that Chen Changli and Wan Shufang helped her with.
Su Yuehua stayed awake all night, tossing and turning, still unable to endure the inner torment, so she chose to meet Wan Shufang and confess everything to her.
There was silence all around. Wan Shufang did not say anything, but waited quietly for Su Yuehua's next words.
"Back then, I accidentally discovered my husband's affair with my sister. I was disheartened and took a drug that would make me fake my death. The drug would allow me to not eat or drink for half a month, which was enough to take care of my funeral."
"So, I pretended to be dead, and when things were over, I quietly hid back at the bottom of the cliff and lingered on." At this point, Su Yuehua couldn't help but sneer.
I clearly did nothing wrong, but I had to hide for so many years and was forced to be separated from my own flesh and blood!
But Wan Shufang didn't believe her confession completely. She frowned and pointed out the loophole: "Su Yuehua, you are just an embroiderer. How can you accomplish such a big thing as faking your own death and getting away with it by yourself?"
"If you say that no one can help you with this matter, I don't believe it."
Hearing Wan Shufang's words, Su Yuehua smiled and did not intend to hide it. She said frankly: "Yes, someone did help me back then."
"I helped a horseman in my early years. In order to repay his kindness, he promised to help me. He helped me to conceal my whereabouts, dig up the grave and drag out the corpse, so I was able to escape death."
Su Yuehua's eyes showed a trace of sadness, and she looked at Wan Shufang with tears in her eyes: "Madam, you should know that with the viciousness of Zhao Dachuan and Su Yueshuang, even if I stay, I will die!"
Hearing this, Wan Shufang pursed her lips and did not speak. She knew that what Su Yuehua said was true. Seeing that she was silent, Su Yuehua continued: "On the execution ground that day, I saw Zhao Dachuan being beheaded with my own eyes."
"I saw Su Yueshuang being beaten with a stick in front of the government office, so I followed her and pushed her into the river when she was not paying attention, causing her to drown."
Su Yuehua smiled sadly, a look of relief appeared on her face, and her tone was calm: "Now that the matter has been resolved, my great hatred has been avenged, I am willing to submit to the law."
After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand, as if allowing Wan Shufang to take her to report to the police.
Wan Shufang did not move, but walked closer and sighed: "I know your difficulties, but why did you take Yuanyuan away?"
Under that kind of living conditions, Yuanyuan's injuries could not get good treatment, which only made the injuries worse. If it weren't for her and Chen Changli, Yuanyuan might have been burned to death.
Su Yuehua knew all of this. She already knew that Wan Shufang had given Yuanyuan the medicine. Pain appeared in her eyes and she burst into tears: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
"I just wanted to take my daughter away from trouble, but I didn't expect it would cause her to suffer."
"It was indeed you who was wrong. You used the wrong method, which led to this result."
As she was about to let her go, Wan Shufang saw the village chief hurriedly coming with soldiers not far away, pointing at the woman and shouting, "Catch the bad guy."
Su Yuehua thought it was Wan Shufang who reported to the police, so she walked over and allowed the soldiers to tie her up and take her away.
Looking at this poor woman, Wan Shufang stretched out her hand, trying to stop her, but in the end she said nothing and gave way.
Every country has its own laws and every family has its own rules. These are the punishments she deserves for doing wrong things.
At this moment, Yuanyuan suddenly ran out from the corner and knelt in front of the village chief, crying.
"Village chief, Uncle Guan, please don't take my mother away. Yuanyuan finally had a mother, we can't lose her." Little Yuanyuan cried and kowtowed, which was heartbreaking to watch. Even Su Yuehua started crying.
"Yuanyuan, get up quickly. The adults' affairs have nothing to do with you. Go back quickly."
"No, I don't want it, mother. I want you to stay with me." The little girl cried loudly and even hugged the soldier's legs. The village chief was afraid that she would disturb the soldiers.
At this moment, he didn't care how Yuanyuan came back to life. He quickly picked her up and made way.
"Sir, you go first. I'll take care of the kid." The village chief apologized with a smile. The soldiers nodded and did not bother with the child. They took Su Yuehua away.
Seeing her mother walking away, Yuanyuan cried breathlessly. Her red and swollen eyes looked around and her gaze fell on Chen Changli and Wan Shufang.
"Grandpa Village Chief, please let me go." She struggled, jumped out of the village chief's arms, ran to Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, and cried and begged: "Aunt Shufang, Uncle Changli, please save my mother."
"Mom is not a bad person, my aunt is the bad person." Yuanyuan wanted to say that her mother would not be punished for killing the bad person, but she was in a hurry and could not explain it clearly for a while.
Seeing her crying so pitifully, Wan Shufang couldn't bear it, so she reached out and hugged her to comfort her: "Okay, Xiao Yuanyuan, don't cry, I'll go check on her now."
"But if you make a mistake, you must be punished. Even if the person is a bad guy, we shouldn't take his life lightly, understand?"
The little girl nodded, not quite understanding, and let Wan Shufang carry her into the house.
"Just stay at home and I'll go check on your mother with your uncle Changli. We won't let your mother die."
"Thank you, Aunt Shufang." The little girl hiccupped, and after saying thank you, she sat obediently on the chair, looking at the two of them with expectant eyes.
Seeing this, Wan Shufang sighed, looked at Chen Changli, and the two went to the county magistrate's mansion together.
Even if Su Yuehua is guilty, it is because Zhao Dachuan and Su Yueshuang were unkind and unjust to her first. No matter what, she should be sentenced appropriately.
When they arrived at the county magistrate's mansion, Wan Shufang told the magistrate the truth.
"My Lord County Magistrate, she is Yuanyuan's biological mother after all. She was just confused for a moment to protect herself."
