Shengjing Noble

Chapter 128

The old ghost put down the wine bowl in his hand, stood up and spat at Liu Ruyan's back, his eyes full of disgust.

Then he took out a small object from his waist and handed it to the servant next to him, and whispered, "Light it up."

"Yes!"

The boy took the thing and walked out. After a while he came back holding a small incense burner.

"Put it over there."

"Yes."

The servant placed the incense burner on top of the wooden board, and the white smoke quietly floated into Su Shengming's nose.

Lao Gui put on gloves and walked over, picked up the knives on the table one by one and displayed them in front of Su Shengming.

"Master Su, let me introduce you to the knives here. After all, I might use them to cut your skin inch by inch later, so I need to arrange for you to familiarize yourself with them first."

"This one is a paring knife, this one is a meat cleaver, this one is a boning knife, and this one is a bone breaking knife..."

The more he spoke, the brighter the light in his eyes became, and his whole body was filled with bloodthirsty excitement, as if what he was talking about was not cruelty, but something interesting.

Su Shengming looked at the sharp blades, his body trembled uncontrollably, and tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes.

Seeing how scared he was, the old ghost put down the knife in his hand and said with a smile: "It seems that you are not willing to be a human pig in my casino under Wanjin Pavilion. How about this, I will give you another chance. As long as you can find someone who can redeem you, I will let you go. How about it?"

Su Shengming thought of his mother Lu Wanjun, and also of the cane that hit him again and again.

He was filled with remorse and finally understood his mother's expectations of him. Otherwise, how could she be so angry that she beat him and cried at the same time?

He has brought shame to his mother and disappointed his family. How can he have the face to beg them?

Moreover, he lost a lot of money this time. His eldest brother still needed to take various expensive medicines, his second brother also needed money to manage his future, and his sixth sister had not yet married. His mother said that the money was her dowry.

He had already disappointed them, how could he bear to drag them down?

Thinking of this, he slowly closed his eyes and bit his lower lip as if he had accepted his fate.

Although he didn't say anything, silence was better than words, and his attitude said it all.

The old ghost sneered and said, "I heard that your mother, Lu Wanjun, is the daughter of the richest man in Quanzhou. Why don't you let her redeem you?"

"You can kill me or chop me up as you like, but don't harass my relatives!" Su Shengming opened his eyes and looked at him with a firm gaze.

"So responsible? Then why did you ask my people to find your stepmother? She's not your biological mother. Why do you think she will redeem you?"

Su Shengming lowered his eyes and whispered, "She said that a little gambling is good for one's mood and it's not a big deal. She just wanted me to be happy. Even if I lost, she would give me money. She also said that she would help me keep it a secret from my family, so I... I was confused and couldn't see that she was harming me..."

"Oh, you believe such words? You are so stupid. I don't know how your mother taught you to be so stupid!"

"If I had been taught by her, I might not be so stupid."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"My eldest brother had a heavy workload, my third brother was weak, and my sixth sister was still young. The eldest lady also left her two children to my mother, who was so busy every day that she left me, a strong and naughty girl, to be taken care of by the nanny."

"When I was little, I thought she didn't like me, so I always made mistakes, hoping to get her attention by being rebellious. But I walked into the trap set by the eldest lady step by step."

"At first I didn't really want to gamble... I just wanted to play it for fun so that my mother would discipline me after she found out, but she beat me and scolded me for not being as good as my brother and sister. I was so angry that I really went to gamble..."

"One misstep can lead to eternal regret. I just wanted to attract mother's attention, but I didn't expect to make such a big mistake today... I regret it so much. I just hope that mother can forgive me for my unfilial behavior after knowing it!"

After saying this, Su Shengming burst into tears. All the grievances and resentment that had been pent up in his heart for many years were released as tears.

At this time compartment.

Lu Wanjun covered her mouth to hold back her tears, but she couldn't stop crying.

Su Lanyin sighed and wiped her with a handkerchief.

Just now, after she returned to the Su family, she immediately took Lu Wanjun out through the back door and headed straight for Wanjin Pavilion.

"Mom, don't be sad. I'm sure Fourth Brother will change his ways after this experience."

Lu Wanjun took a deep breath, her eyes full of guilt. She fell into the chair in pain, her face full of tears.

"I was wrong. For Su Yongcheng and the ungrateful Su family, I ignored my son, daughter, father, and brother... I am really... so stupid and I deserve to die!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and hit herself hard in the face. Su Lanyin hurried to stop her, but she clenched her fist and pounded her chest hard.

"I regret it so much... I'm sorry to all of you... I'm sorry to your grandfather and uncle..."

"Mom!" Su Lanyin hugged her and said earnestly, "It's not too late!"

Lu Wanjun was stunned, her whole body stiff, and the dark fire in her eyes gradually turned into light.

"Yinyin, mother wants to break up the marriage with your father!"

Su Lanyin's heart suddenly trembled, and she looked at her excitedly: "Really, mother?"

"Yes!" Lu Wanjun nodded resolutely, "Not only will mother break off the marriage, but I will also make all of you sever your ties with the Su family, and I will also bring disgrace upon Su Yongcheng and Liu Ruyan!"

"Mom, I'm happy for your determination, but you don't have to do anything. I have my own plans!"

"Plans? What are your plans?"

"It's a long story. As long as mother completely gives up on Su Yongcheng, everything will be easy."

"I gave up on him a long time ago, but I didn't want you to be homeless because he is your biological father. But now I think that as long as I am alive, you will have a home!"

"Of course. Wherever my mother and brothers are, that's home. It has nothing to do with that scumbag Su Yongcheng!"

"Mom, go back now and write the marriage cancellation letter!"

Lu Wanjun said that wind is rain and stood up to go out. Seeing this, Su Lanyin hurriedly grabbed him.

"Mom, not today!"

"Why?"

"Wait a little longer. After the imperial examination is over, I will write the marriage cancellation letter for you myself!"

"Well... okay, I don't know why, but I will listen to you from now on!"

"Yeah!" Su Lanyin nodded with a smile.

Song Rui has not been dealt with yet, and asking Lu Wanjun to break off the engagement now would be too easy for the ungrateful Su family and Song Rui and his mother.

……

Su Shengming felt as if his whole body was bitten by countless ants, and the pain was unforgettable.

He lay on the wooden board, squirming in discomfort and letting out a heart-wrenching roar. In the chaos, he felt a darkness in front of his eyes and he seemed to be unable to see anything.

A piercing pain swept over him, but the next second, he couldn't make any sound and couldn't feel his tongue.

Soon after, my hands and feet lost all feeling, leaving only pain that spread like a vine.

He was so panicked that the pain was even greater than his panic, and images of himself losing his limbs, eyes, ears, and tongue kept appearing in his mind.

"Ah...wuwuwu..."

He wanted to speak, but only sobs came out of his mouth, which made him even more desperate!

He really... has become a human pig!

The greatest pain a person can suffer is death, but what is worse than living is a life worse than death!
