That night, she told everyone about how the Old Su family stole Su Cheng’s jade pendant. 

Aunt Liu was stunned, “It can’t be true, right……” 

Mrs. Qian said, “Why is it that it can’t be true? Lizheng said so! I heard it with my own ears! A noble came from the capital and forced Su Can’s father to admit it! The Old Su family didn’t have any ancestral jade pendant at all! They stole it from Su Cheng!” 

Aunt Wu said, “Qian, could you be mistaken?” 

“I’m not old and blind yet! How could I be mistaken?” 

“Who doesn’t know that you hated the Old Su family ever since Yuniang stole your midwife? But you can’t just slander them everywhere because of that ah!” 

“Yeah, how much money did Daya give you to speak up for her like this?” 

Most villagers were unwilling to doubt the Old Su family. It wasn’t just because of the reputation they had built over the past 30 years, but it was also human nature. After all, no one was willing to question their own beliefs.  

Mrs. Qian sneered, “The carriage of the nobleman has already entered the village. Are you really blind or pretending to be blind? If you don’t believe me, you can go look for the Old Su family! Let’s see if they still have the face to say that the jade pendant they sold back then was passed down by their ancestors!”   

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. 

“Are you really going?” 

“This… this….isn’t it a bit improper?” 

“Yeah, no matter who we suspect, we can’t suspect the Old Su family…… Back then, if not for them…… We would all have starved to death. They sold that jade pendant to help us, and now we’re doubting them? Are we still human?” 

Aunt Liu patted on her hips and said, “If none of you are going, I will go!” 

“I will go take a look too.” Mrs. Qian chimed in. 

With two people taking the lead, it wouldn’t be difficult to get a third one. 

Besides, most of the villagers thought they weren’t going to accuse the Old Su family, but simply to hear their side of the story. 

However, when the villagers arrived at the Old Su family’s house in groups, they found that the front door was already closed.  

The sky hadn’t even completely dark yet!

They tried the back door and it was also closed! 

Aunt Liu rolled her sleeves and raised her hand to pat the door, saying, “Uncle Su, are you at home? Dalang? Erlang? Sanlang? Jinniang!” 

She called out one by one, but there was no response from behind the door. 

If there was no one in the Old Su family, the villagers wouldn’t believe it. 

The village was so small, with seven or eight people in the Old Su family, could it be that no one saw it when they really left the village? 

This complete lockout…… It felt suspicious, almost like they had something to hide ah…… 

Mrs. Qian sneered, “Ha! Didn’t I say so?” 

Inside the house, the doors and windows were tightly closed, and the room was pitch black. 

The whole Old Su family sat in the dimly lit hall, not daring to make a sound.  

They heard the villagers knocking, but they didn’t dare open the door. 

What should they say when they open it? 

Saying that the Su family was spouting nonsense and slandering them? 

Saying that it was not them who stole Su Cheng’s jade pendant? But it was Su Cheng who stole their Old Su family’s jade pendant?

If it was an hour ago, they might have been bold enough to say it. 

But now, even the noble from the capital had come to testify for the Su family. Were their Old Su family really going to die? 

Especially since it was an imperial gift…… 

How they wished that they had never sold it in the first place! 

Would they still dare to continue to claim that it was their family’s heirloom?  

How many heads need to be beheaded were enough for this?

The attitude of the Old Su family made the villagers unable to sit still. 

The villagers went to Lizheng’s house again to seek confirmation. 

Lizheng was completely drunk and in a daze. 

Initially, he had thought about not making things too ugly for the sake of the villagers. 

But as the alcohol kicked in, it clouded his judgement, and he completely forgot what he had said.

That night, Xinghua village was in complete chaos.
