Chapter 1499: 1499 Sending to the Official Residence

Su Qingyue was sitting at the table in the courtyard reading medical books and turned another page as if she had heard nothing.

Shen Yun was so angry at her indifference that she was practically grinding her teeth. If it was an ordinary woman with such thieving parents, she would have been too ashamed to even leave her room, yet there she was!

Xiao Yuchuan went to the kitchen and brought over a plate of fruit himself. Seeing the people in the yard, he frowned, "Why did you bring the Su Family couple here?"

Shen Yun hastily put on a worried face, "Chuan’er, the purple jade hairpin was a gift from your grandparents as part of my dowry when I got married. It’s not only valuable but also has deep meaning. Your in-laws stole it, and furthermore..."

With a sweep of her sleeve, Shuang’er presented a box which was opened to reveal a green hairpin broken in two, with a purple gem embedded at the top.

"Moreover, the hairpin was found broken in your in-law’s room," she said with regret in her tone, "today, Maid Yinzhu discovered a thief entering Qin Garden, your room, and caught them, only to find it was your in-laws. My purple jade hairpin had just gone missing, and suspecting that the Su Family couple might be the thieves, I never thought that sending someone to search their room would actually turn up the hairpin."

"We’ve been wronged, Lady Xiao!" Su Qin burst out. "With the power of a first-class family, I wouldn’t dare steal from you even if I had the audacity of a deity. I’m just short on money, and because Qingyue is my daughter, I thought of taking some money from her room. I truly didn’t steal your hairpin..."

"Lady Xiao, please understand, my wife and I really just planned to steal from Yue’er’s..." Su Dashui realized he misspoke, "we really just wanted to ’take’ a little from Yue’er. We didn’t steal your hairpin!"

Shen Yun, furious, said, "You were caught red-handed with the stolen goods in your room, and yet you still want to deny it!" Trembling, she pointed at Su Dashui and his wife, "Chuan’er, look at them. Everyone in the Mansion knows how well I treated them, and in the end, I’ve been ’bitten by a snake’. We cannot tolerate such conscienceless scoundrels!"

Xiao Yuchuan glanced at his wife and saw her calmly reading her book, saying nothing for the moment.

Shen Yun’s face was marked with pain, "Chuan’er, what do you think we should do? I was thinking of turning them directly over to the Official Residence, if nothing else, for Yue’er’s sake..."

Su Qingyue closed the medical book in her hands, "Directly handing them over to the Official Residence it is."

"Since Yue’er says so, The person, take Su Dashui and Su Qin to the Official Residence!" With Shen Yun’s command, the Su Family couple were taken away, crying and clamoring, but still they were taken further and further away.

Shen Yun had wanted to say that, with Su Qingyue’s thieving parents, she might well be a thief herself.

Thinking of her son’s protection which was more precious to him than life itself, she held back and instead spoke kindly, "Chuan’er, don’t take your in-laws’ theft to heart. Though it’s said ’like father, like son’ and the children of mice will dig holes, but... I still believe in Qingyue."

"This really has nothing to do with my wife. There’s no problem, you should appear less often," Xiao Yuchuan said coldly.

"You child..." Shen Yun’s eyes welled up with fog, "Chuan’er, I’ve been separated from you for more than twenty years. I just want to spend some time with you. How can you be so heartless!"

As she spoke, tears fell from her eyes, looking every part the mother lacking her child’s love.

"That’s enough, go back to Yi Garden." Xiao Yuchuan was somewhat irritated.

Shen Yun wanted to say more, but still she left with her maid.
