Chapter 1517: The Truth (5)
"So you mean that it wasn’t Su Da who refused to take her back, but rather she herself was unwilling to return?" Yang Ruxin’s brows furrowed even more.
Liu Amei nodded, feeling Yang Ruxin’s question to be somewhat odd.
Yang Ruxin exhaled deeply: "This morning, before dawn, Erya... she died from a collision outside the tent..."
"What?" Liu Amei’s eyes instantly widened, then she let out a bitter laugh, "It’s understandable that she wouldn’t want to come back. But how could that girl be so despairing?"
"What exactly happened?" Yang Ruxin’s voice became colder.
"I got married to Su Da last autumn. Back then, we had our own land and property, parents-in-law were well, and my own parents and brother were all alive. He (Su Da) was pretty nice. But who could have expected... after just half a year, Governor’s Office City fell..." Liu Amei wiped away her tears, "Originally, our whole family hid in the cellar, but when those Mongol soldiers came to dig around and search, Su Da pushed his own parents out, and later, he pushed me out as well... Somehow, Erya managed to get out too, and then the Mongol army didn’t search any further..."
Yang Ruxin’s eyes widened in an instant; this man was a beast.
"Despite suffering a great deal, I still longed to return home, and so did Erya..." Liu Amei started weeping again, "But who knew... who knew that Su Da bringing me back was only to torment me, to slave away like an ox and a horse, he even wanted me to start catering to guests like the ladies in the brothel to earn money... I didn’t agree, so he hit me..."
Su Da never felt there was anything wrong with ordering his wife around. Although the Crown Prince decreed not to look down upon or despise women, that was his own wife, what man wouldn’t beat his wife? As for making her cater to guests, considering she had been with many men already, earning a bit of Silver on the side didn’t seem wrong to him.
