Su Yao stood under the eaves and watched Mrs. Shen's back.
She seemed to always be watching the people around her leave.
Those people she cared about and loved all left her for various reasons, and in the end she couldn't even keep her beloved son.
She watched Mrs. Shen walking away, looking back every few steps, and what came to her mind was the day when she was kicked out of the Cheng family.
That day, it rained heavily, which was rare in the capital city, which was usually dry and rainless. She was driven out by Cheng Dingan in a daze, accompanied by Cheng Li and Yan Cao. Cheng Li was young and could not bear the injustice, so he cried and begged her to go to the Su family to plead for mercy so that they could go home.
But where is her home
On Zhengyang Street in the capital city, there are many magnificent and intriguing houses, but none of them is her home.
She understood at that time that sometimes, if you want to have something, you can't just give your heart to it. For many people in this world, even blood ties have to be weighed to estimate the weight before deciding on a price.
This is how things are in this world, no matter what time it is.
Seeing that everyone had disappeared, Su Yao still couldn't recover for a long time. Yan Cao called out "girl" with some concern, and couldn't help feeling sad for Su Yao.
The girl used to stay away from the Shen family, for fear of upsetting the Su family.
But now... .. look at what Nanny Sang and Zhenzhu have done? Regardless of whether the Su family knows about it or not, it is too cruel and heartless for Su Yao. How can anyone bear it
Su Yao came back to his senses and saw Second Madam He holding Wang's hand and standing in the privet bushes in the yard. He went down the steps and bowed to Second Madam He very meekly: "Second aunt."
Second Madam He hummed, and the thoughts that had just occurred to her mind turned into sighs. She had originally thought that it was too coincidental and too appropriate for Su Yao to cry in front of the Madam, and she was afraid that it was a deliberate trap for Madam Sang.
She didn't like being used, whether by Su Xingxuan or Su Yao.
But if I have to choose one between the two, it would be Su Yao.
She saw the look in Su Yao's eyes when he looked at Mrs. Shen just now.
Life never gave this girl any choice. She was forced to separate from her adoptive parents, but her biological parents didn't love her very much.
She was dealt a bad hand from the start.
Although Second Madam He is shrewd, who doesn’t want to be a good person when given a choice
She reached out and touched Su Yao's head for the first time: "Go back and have a good rest. Everything will be fine."
Nanny Huang just came out to greet her. Second Madam He nodded at Su Yao and went straight into Mrs. He's room.
Su Yao didn't stay long and went straight back to his own yard.
Madam Qi had already packed up everything with everyone, and Madam Shen had been called back from the laundry outside. She was anxiously waiting in the yard for Su Yao to come back.
When she saw Su Yao, the wrinkles that had accumulated over the years on Mother Shen's face suddenly relaxed, her eyes and brows were filled with smiles, and she hurriedly called out "Yaoyao", and then realized that she had said something wrong, and hesitantly called out "girl".
Su Yao's throat tightened a little. When she was around the Su family, only Mother Shen was devoted to her, but she didn't know how to cherish it before...
Nanny Qi came over with the roster, smiling, and told Su Yao that everything had been done, and that the next people to be filled would be selected and sent over.
Su Yao came back to his senses, thanked Aunt Qi, and said, "Give the list to Aunt Shen. She will be in charge of the personnel affairs in the courtyard from now on."
Everyone was stunned, even Mother Shen herself was stunned. Ever since she returned to the He family, Su Yao had been afraid of her following him. She thought Su Yao was tired of her.
Mother Qi was the one who took care of the old things. Although she was puzzled, she still came to her senses and said yes without revealing anything. She handed the list to Mother Shen and said kindly, "Congratulations, old sister!"
She knew clearly that Su Yao no longer trusted the Su family because of what happened to Nanny Sang.
But this has nothing to do with her. As a cousin, it would be good for her to endure it all the time. If she can't endure it anymore, it won't affect the He family at all. She will have to go back to the Su family eventually.
After the handover, Mother Shen called out "girl" with dry lips. She felt very nervous and didn't know how she came back again.
Su Yao smiled at her soothingly, and when they entered the house, the first thing he said to her was: "Mom, I saw my mother today."
Mother Shen was startled and didn't know who the mother Su Yao was referring to was.
Logically speaking, it should of course be the Su family. After all, the gap between the Su family and the Shen family is too huge, not to mention that Su Yao is the daughter of the Su family.
But seeing Su Yao like this... ..
Yan Cao also suppressed her confusion and explained softly, "Mammy, it's Madam Shen."
Madam Shen... Madam...
"Girl!" Mother Shen was shocked and worried: "You can't..."
Having lived in this mansion for several years, she watched with a cold eye and learned a lot of things. Nanny Sang, who was beside Su Yao, was arrogant and looked down on Su Yao, let alone the Shen family.
It was only after she came here that she understood what the meaning of "scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans" was, and what differences in social status meant.
Because of this, Su Yao disliked her and acquiesced to Nanny Sang sending her to the laundry outside. She had no complaints, but was afraid that Su Yao would be disliked.
But now, how could Su Yao be so bold as to meet Madam Shen
Although she also felt that it would be wrong to abandon her adoptive parents once she had biological parents, Su Yao was a child she raised bit by bit. Her husband died early in her life, and later her child also died of smallpox. She had experienced all the hardships in life. It was the tiny Su Yao at that time who gave her the courage to live again.
To be frank, in her heart, no one is more important than Su Yao.
Su Yao's heart softened, and she smiled and shook her head at Mother Shen: "Don't worry, it was my grandmother who asked me to go and see her, not me on my own initiative, and no one can blame me."
Mother Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing Su Yao's expression, she became worried again: "Then what about Aunt Sang..."
"They won't come back." Su Yao lowered his eyes, with a hint of a smile on his face, but that smile didn't reach his eyes at all: "Since they want to kill someone with a borrowed knife, I will fulfill their wish. But compared to them, I am a little harder-hearted."
Mother Shen and Yan Cao looked at her in confusion.
Her cold brows were reflected in the teacup, and her tone seemed particularly cold.
"Not only will I kill them," Su Yao sneered, "I will also destroy their hearts!"
It was obvious that the charcoal basin had been lit in the room in advance because Su Yao was sick, but for some reason, when Su Yao said this, Yan Cao felt goose bumps all over her body and couldn't help but look at Mother Shen.
