But three years after Ouyang Nuan came again to this street again,cannot help but shocked. Almost the same number of people were very excited as they holding a lot of rotten fruits, some of them are holding of pot and pans, wooden broom, and stones. And not so long ago they had admired the highly and dignified Eldest Miss of Ouyang Family. 

“But now everyone was shouting at her: cheap woman!”

In crowd the Su Family Family are all present, among, her father-in-law and her husband. 

“Do not!Miss…..!

 Hong Yu said shouting wanted to move against them and squeezed in beside Ouyang Nuan.”Do not touch our Miss! She was shouting on top of her lungs. Master Su! Madam Su!Gu Ye! This servant ask you”Please! Let off,Miss!”

Ouyang  Nuan heard her talk, Hong Yu had been always quite. 

Fang mama suddenly rushed towards Ouyang Nuan side started crying and shouting miss! This is all a lie! they framed you!

Ouyang Nuan is starring Fang mama her gray hair messy like crazy, wailing beside her. Thinking she suddenly remembers during her wedding when “Fang mama sang a song “Ten miles red ten miles long, flower sedan was ten miles mad, candied sugar was ten miles sweet, old wine floating out of ten miles fragrant daughter dreamers in pairs, love to the old and day long, long and long looks long, only red ten miles long!Love long looks long, only red long ten miles! 

But in the end……… it was just a dream. 

Stop pleading!Madam Su coldly said.” This is your own fault for behaving improper! you are shameless Ouyang Nuan! a disgrace of Su family!”

Then a man shouted from the crowd: “You! Ouyang Nuan! shameless woman! Taking advantage and stealing other husband!Bad woman! Ah! despicable! despicable woman! Hit her! Hit her! beat her! “

Accompanied by these unspeakable curse were rotten fruits, vegetables, brick tiles and stones all thrown towards Ouyang Nuan. Ouyang Nuan is now in a complete messed but did not feel any pain. Her mind vaguely think that this scene is the so-called HELL! Not too long, her face is now covered of waste combined sweat and tears.

 Suddenly Hong Yu rush up forward but servants tightly stop her.Hong Yu constantly shouting at the crowd.”Our Miss had been wronged!The Su family framed her!aaaaah!!

With shriek voiced Hong Yu still shouting and struggling like crazy, protecting her from being beaten to death.

Hong Yu!Ouyang Nuan looked her with wet eyes. 

“Ah!!!! 

 A brick hit Hong Yu forehead, gushed of blood can be seen. She could not help but cry out. Because she bound with rope, can only watch the stones and rotten fruits fly against her! 

Fang mama desperately stop in front of her and caught Hong Yu. Fang mama cried and scream infront of people.

 Without warning Hong Yu rush pass in front and kneeling.”Miss is innocent! She is innocent!Ah!She keep on kneeling in front  them. Please let off Miss! I will kneel” Hong Yu give kowtow on the left side and turn to the right side all over the direction. Still continuing in kowtowing, while pleading. Please!Let off Miss!

Unfortunately the crowd did not stop countless object still smashed to Ouyang Nuan body and no reaction.Ouyang Nuan give a glance at Hong Yu constantly kowtowing, knocked badly her head to the floor. 

Ouyang Nuan tears started flowing from her eyes, she hoarsely speak Hong Yu! Up! Do not kneel! Stand Up!Despite being in messed Ouyang Nuan and her vision become blurred. She is seriously watching everyone, especially far standing,Su family! The dignified Su Father in law, loving mother-in-law Su laoye wife, her gentle and considerate handsome husband Su Yu Lou, and finally her eyes fall on the beautiful woman who has been standing beside him.

Ouyang Nuan recalled the scene had happened at morning. At that time she heard a noisy voice that awakened her, then she immediately seated in bed. She perceived the bed was surrounded by dense of people, including the angry father-in-law, livid good looking young man, whispering voice of servants can be heard and filled with pity starring at her. Her body is still covered with a quilt, seeing, beside her a naked man Ouyang Nuan yet to react. 

The man slipped off the quilt followed by a ray of unwavering action, kneeling in front of everyone, exclaimed!

Master Su! spare this servant life! servant no longer dare!“

Those words had confused her! Master Su and Madam Su eyes filled with murderous intent.Ouyang Nuan struggle to cover her body with quilt from burning ashes of their eyes. Su Yu Lou’s body began to shake a bit, he seems disgusted at the sight, he closed his eyes no longer dared to look her! Ouyang Nuan still pondering why she wake up with a man in their own bed. Suddenly, she clearly understood, that cup of tea – that is!cup of tea were prepared by her younger sister!

Su Yu Lou said “Why! Ouyang Nuan !am I not good enough for you!? My mother died and your mother is my elder aunt treat her the same as my mother with respect. You forced yourself towards our family. I disregarded the consequence of offending them and give all the freedom you want! But why!?Why do you treat me like this!”

Ouyang Nuan immediatedly called him.”Yu Lou!Yu Lou!Yu lou! Why you do not believe me! You said no matter what happened, you will believed me and loved me! But, I was wrong!”

Being locked up day and night, these words Ouyang repeatedly shouting and crying till her throat start to bleed and noone believed her. Ouyang Nuan does not care on other thoughts she just want to see her husband and personally speak: Yu lou! I am innocent! Please!believe me!

However, Su Yu Lou refused to see her, even Hong Yu kowtowing desperately pleading for her. The day and night had passed, Yu Lou he still did not come, until Ouyang nuan escorted to the punishment ground with her arms tied behind her back, only he,then showed up. He had been standing in the crowd stare coldly, snuggled beside him good looking woman, her younger sister!

No! No !she does not believe it! In fact, she wanted to understand. After she married into Su Family but nothing. She even refused to get her husband a concubine, made her mother in law to see her an eyesore. Then half a month ago she ask personally to let her step mother daugther to marry and entered Su household but rejected.

Ouyang Ke had a crushed on Su Lou, even Hong Yu often told her that she had seen them several times dating, but she is stupid at that time do not trust Hong Yu repeatedly punishing Hong Yu. Only framed her to allow Ouyang Ke openly marry into Su’s House. 

Against her!? 

Not only Ouyang Ke but more than one person! No other than, is her husband! her husband!no!no!she does not believe!

At this time,  Ouyang Nuan is taken beside the river. Fang Mama and Hong Yu still trying to keep up at her side and not willing to leave! Suddenly, grandfather in law face become livid, wave his hand and a five or six fierce people come infront of them. With their strong arms they forceful take Fang mama and Hong Yu, move from the side and guarded carefully, not to move!

Ouyang Nuan look the sky and laugh” God!Open your eyes!

The wind suddenly big up the heavy rain falls Ouyang Nuan laughed more.”Heavens! God opened his eyes! he also know that I was wronged!

The crowd burst of riots, Grandfather in law face is become more green, and shouted loudly. Sheng Tang!

From the crowd, Su Yu Lou slowly appear come in front, his tall body standing with unsteadiness and handsome appearance somewhat haggard. A girl came and put on his cloak. Ouyang Nuan shed tears stare her maybe Ouyang Ke is most demure gesture behind her husband but nowords to say.

Ouyang Nuan just stare blankly the eyes of Su Yu Lou, mumbled”Yu Lou I am innocent, please do believe me.”

Su Yu Lou silence for a long time, from his sleeves pull out a piece of paper unto her.Ouyang Nuan trace a feeling of pain stubbed in heart heart loss at the moment but eyes still very calm. 

“You still making excuses! This! For a long time wanted to give you! Women like you!Death! Su Family must not you off!!

.Ouyang Nuan staring at this familiar face, murmured”

In fact, my mother and I were present at that time, we watched him pushed down and desperately shouting for help, the water flooded his mouth, nose, eyes, drowned alive, only blame his owned life is not good, early dead of your mother and stupid sister! 

Ouyang Nuan stunned!

Looking straight at Ouyang Ke, her silence eyes generally dyed on the color. And finally she realized her brother died, she was abandoned, never always thought her good step mother and good sister had a wolf ambition! Ha ha … … ha ha ha ha … … At that moment, Madam Lin she had promised her mother on beddeath to take care of them, but what did she do?what she done!? 

Ouyang Nuan slowly closed her eyes then open, smile ridiculous and speak to Ouyang Ke in a gentle soft voice.” Sister! Sister I am wrong!You come near! I have a last thing to entrust you “

Ouyang Ke dumbfounded do not believed she can dugged out some tricks, then took the step closer .”When my mother died, also left a lot of valuable dowries and now I am going to die, put these to you, but with your kindness leave behind some to Fang mama and Hong Yu”

Ouyang Ke eyes light up, she did heard that late Ouyang mother consist of amazing treasures and later this group of property after the Ouyang Nuan marriage was missing, it seems really in her hands … … ” You come closer, I tell you – “

If Ouyang Ke is not so greedy,she may not be fooled but she wad too confident and sure……
