Chapter 86 - Will Not Allow Villains to Run Rampant

The man gazed at the smiling maiden for a moment, then averted his eyes, not responding to her words as he walked towards the other side of the street.

In just a few blinks, his figure vanished among the bustling crowd.

Yet, Su Youyue couldn't help but watch for quite a while before she managed to suppress the fluttering in her heart.

She must not fall for this man again.

His repeated aid was merely out of friendship's sake.

Suppressing her sense of loss, her attention was soon drawn to someone dashing over from the other side.

"Cousin!" Yun Niang, who had received news at the back of the shop, rushed over, pushing through the crowd. Upon seeing Lu Song lying on the ground, uncertain if he was alive or dead, she broke into tears, "Cousin, please wake up..."

Beside her, Lu Wen also hurried over upon witnessing his father's miserable state, "Father!"

Initially, onlookers were confused about their identities, but they suddenly realized that these were indeed Lu Song's concubine and her son!

Many were unfamiliar with Kang Yun's appearance, but they hadn't spared her comparisons with Su Youyue. After all, Lu Song had abandoned a wealthy young lady to secretly maintain a mistress. Speculations abounded about how breathtakingly beautiful this mistress must be.

However, upon seeing her, their expectations were dashed. Although she was indeed delicate and gentle, her demeanor appeared rather petty, hardly deserving the title of "peerless beauty."

In both looks and bearing, she was overshadowed by that little calamity star over there. It was perplexing what Lu Song saw in her.

As for the child, he seemed more composed than his mother. There was no trace of inferiority complex due to his status. If seen outside, one might mistake him for the legitimate firstborn son.

On the ground, Lu Song stirred under the two's efforts, gradually regaining consciousness. The instant he woke up, the searing pain made him groan involuntarily.

Opening his eyes, he instinctively tried to retreat in fear, dreading that the living executioner from before would resume his assault!

Upon recognizing Yun Niang and Lu Wen, he paused and scanned his surroundings, only to find no sign of that man.

"Brother-in-law, how do you feel? I'll take you to the clinic right away," Yun Niang said, her heart aching, but hesitating to touch him due to the knife still lodged in his hand. "Who did this to you?"

Lu Song gritted his teeth, ready to curse, but then realized that not only did he not know the attacker's name, he couldn't even recall his face!

The person was clearly prepared, hence the mask. Perhaps they were someone arranged by Su Youyue in advance!

"Su Youyue!" He gritted his teeth as he spat out her name, filled with hatred.

Yun Niang was taken aback but followed his gaze. In the distance, on a wheelchair sat an exceptionally beautiful young lady who was now staring at them coldly, as if they were mere objects of amusement.

Yun Niang had repeatedly imagined this girl as her rival and compared herself to her countless times. Each time, she would mentally scoff at the thought that this disabled ill-fated girl couldn't possibly be attractive or carry any presence, just a foolish coward confined to a wheelchair.

Even if she were to enter the family in the future, Yun Niang believed she would still be able to trample over her effortlessly. After all, in terms of looks and wit, which aspect didn't she surpass Su Youyue?

But when she saw the girl for the first time, all her previous illusions shattered. Just sitting there quietly, the girl made Yun Niang feel the urge to avert her eyes, as if being seen by her exposed every secret like being stripped naked.

So this was how the young miss of the Su family looked...

Despite finally seeing the person she had fantasized about, Yun Niang wasn't as composed as she had imagined. Instead of strutting confidently and making the other girl look down, she found herself crouching on the ground, having to look up at Su Youyue, a position that made her feel humiliated.

Lu Wen's pupils constricted as he fixated his gaze on Su Youyue.

As if finding him amusing, Su Youyue gave Lu Wen a slight smile.

Assuming that he's also aware of her rebirth, considering she had annulled their engagement and exposed his true identity along with his mother's. She wondered if he appreciated the grand revelation she had bestowed upon him.

In her previous life, he was known as the adopted son of the Lu Mansion, enjoying privileges on par with the legitimate eldest son. Relying on her influence as the foster mother from the Minister's Manor, outsiders never dared to question his status.

In this life, without that legitimate standing, she couldn't help but wonder if he found joy amidst the countless whispers and judgments he must have endured lately.

He should be happy, right? After all, in her previous life, didn't he despise her the most as his adoptive mother? In this life, she granted his wish, ensuring that he and his birth mother would never be separated again.

Gazing at Su Youyue's smile, Lu Wen couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Bitch!"

This bitch must know that he had been reborn and is deliberately trying to harm him.

All the strange glances he had received these days were because of her!

Today, she dared to look down on him. When he rose to prominence in the future, he would make her regret it, kneeling before him to beg for mercy!

Yun Niang and Lu Wen, mother and son, had their own thoughts and didn't speak immediately. However, Lu Song, tormented by pain and humiliation, couldn't endure it any longer. Pointing at Su Youyue, he exclaimed, "Report this to the authorities! This woman hired someone to assault me, nearly killing me!"

Regardless of whether that person was arranged by Su Youyue or not, just the mere act of dragging her to the dungeons would ruin her reputation entirely!

Yun Niang paused, then refocused on Su Youyue, "Cousin, I'll go report this to the authorities right away!"

She couldn't tolerate the dazzling brilliance of this young Miss Su, and eagerly desired to trample her underfoot.

Little did she expect that the onlookers by the roadside couldn't bear to witness this anymore. "It's not because of some noble lady Su; it's clearly your own doing, Lu Song, for getting into trouble and provoking a wandering hero to teach you a lesson!"

Indeed, if the officials were to arrive, they'd arrest you too. We all saw how you deliberately injured the horse in an attempt to harm Miss Su!" Though they were common folk, each person held their own judgment.

They despised such despicable behavior, blaming the victim when they were the ones causing harm!

"Miss Su, if the officials arrive soon, we'll stand witness for you!"

"That's right! Don't be afraid, we won't let anyone falsely accuse you!"

Although these people disliked the calamity star, when it came to the matter at hand, no matter how one looked at it, Miss Su was the one being wronged today. They were not unreasonable folk.

Su Youyue also gazed at these commoners with a touch of surprise, feeling a slight warmth in her heart.

She had assumed... that none of these commoners would side with someone as disreputable as her.

"Thank you all for coming forward as witnesses. Heaven's justice is clear, and the heavens would never allow such a despicable person to run rampant!"
