TFWYH – Chapter 177 The Su Family Thanks

Wei Gao was very annoyed!

He had just finished washing up and was about to cuddle his beloved wife and child to sleep when someone came knocking and dragged him out of bed. No wonder his temper flared.

But the moment he saw the “man” in front of him speaking in Tang Wan’s voice, he froze.
“Madam Ling?”

“It’s me!” Tang Wan set the little girl down, and the two of them quickly explained everything that had happened at the Yihong Brothel.

Wei Gao’s face immediately hardened. His sleepiness vanished at once, and he grabbed his constables to rush straight toward the brothel.

At that moment, the madam of Yihong Brothel had already returned to her room—only to discover that Tang Wan was gone. Not only that, even her secret stash of money was missing.

The madam was so furious she wanted to kill someone. But before she could order a search, someone came to report that the “goods” still hadn’t been delivered, and the client was getting impatient.

Upon hearing that, the madam had no time to worry about her stolen savings. She gathered her people and went to the backyard, where she saw the two unconscious men.

She was just about to have them doused with water to wake them and question what had happened when—
the Yihong Brothel was suddenly surrounded by a troop of constables…

The next morning.

After Tang Wan returned to the roast shop, Aunt Yang eagerly told her the follow-up.

“Dashan went to the red-light district early this morning to deliver the beef jerky. He told me Yihong Brothel was raided by the authorities! They found over a dozen little girls locked up in a cellar. That damned old hag—she’s truly heartless! To think she wouldn’t even spare children that young. You know why she did it? I heard she didn’t have enough young girls left in her brothel, so she started buying them from traffickers! That evil crone deserves to die a hundred times over—straight to the eighteenth level of hell!”

Tang Wan raised an eyebrow.

Yesterday, after handing over the girl who claimed to be the Su family’s daughter, she hadn’t followed up—she knew the authorities would handle it.

Who would’ve thought that while she’d only gone there to steal a jade pendant, she’d accidentally ended up saving so many children?

Hmm.

She could almost feel the metaphorical red scarf of righteousness on her chest shining even brighter!

Tang Wan was in a great mood, even humming a little tune.

Aunt Yang found it oddly pleasant, and after hearing it a few times, she began humming along.

Unfortunately, her tone-deaf humming made Tang Wan’s eye twitch uncontrollably.

That evening, after finishing her day’s work and heading home, Tang Wan saw from afar that two luxurious carriages were parked outside her gate.

Guests?

Don’t tell her that peacock Yu Ziqing was here again?

She had barely stepped into the yard when a small “cannonball” came flying straight at her.

Tang Wan reflexively lifted her foot—

“Big sister! I found you again!” a crisp, happy voice called out.

Hearing the voice, Tang Wan quickly lowered her foot—just in time for the little girl to throw herself into her arms.

The girl looked up at her with bright, smiling eyes. “So you’re a big sister, not a big brother! But whatever you are, I said I’d repay you—so here I am, with my parents!”

Tang Wan looked up and saw that, besides her own family, there were two elegantly dressed middle-aged people and a man in a butler’s uniform in the courtyard. Even Magistrate Wei Gao was there.

The man smiled at Tang Wan, then scolded the little girl sternly, “Mind your manners. Let go of Lady Ling.”

“No way! Bleh!” The little girl stuck her tongue out at him mischievously, then held Tang Wan’s arm and pulled her forward.

She introduced them cheerfully: “This is my father, and this is my mother. Big sister, my name is Su Wanting. Thank you for saving me!”

The man cupped his hands in a polite salute. “I am Su Yuan. My deepest gratitude, Madam, for saving my daughter.”

Madam Su also grasped Tang Wan’s hands, tears glistening in her eyes. “Lady Ling, you don’t know how desperate I’ve been these past days—searching everywhere for my child. If not for you… my daughter would have been…”
