In the evening, Mrs. He specially asked the kitchen to prepare Matsutake chicken soup. Considering that Su Yao had just recovered from a serious illness and could not eat greasy food, the fat on top was skimmed off, leaving only the yellow soup, which was steaming under the light.
Before she had time to drink, she heard Mr. He's voice from outside. Mrs. He put down her bowl and chopsticks, let Mr. He in, and asked him, "How is it going? Is everything done?"
Mr. He came in with a chill all over his body. He shivered before he recovered. He nodded in agreement with Mrs. He's words, glanced at Su Yao again, and then said softly, "Don't worry, mother. We have returned all the goods that were seized by the grain transport to the Shen family. They invested all their wealth in this batch of goods before, so they were almost desperate because of the lack of turnover. Now the goods have been given to them. Hurry and transport them to the capital. It's just in time for the New Year. It's their luck that the imperial concubine wore a dress made of floating brocade some time ago. Now the people in the capital are following suit and are all rushing to buy this material."
The Shen couple also had a way. They traveled across mountains and rivers to Sichuan and got a batch of goods. They originally planned to sell them at a high price in the capital. However, under the deliberate suppression of the Su family, problems arose with the canal transportation. The governor of the canal transportation personally ordered that their goods be seized. The governor personally ordered that the Shen couple paid in an unknown amount of money as bribes, but still lost all their money.
Of course, things are different now.
Mr. He rubbed his hands, coughed and said, "Mother, An'er is over there..."
Su An asked him to do this. How will he respond to Su An then
"Don't pay attention to him." Mrs. He's eyes turned cold. She didn't even want to mention the grandson who didn't know what to do. She just asked Mr. He to go back and change his clothes and eat. "Your wife has been waiting for you for a long time."
Mrs. He likes quietness and has never liked having children with her at meals. Mr. He didn't think much of it. He sighed and was about to leave. But when he turned around, he couldn't help but glance at Su Yao, who was standing there quietly and paying his respects, and scratched his head.
What's going on
Su Yao was still quiet and docile, but when he looked at his niece, he always felt like he was looking at another person.
Moreover, when they talked about the difficulties faced by the Shen couple before, they did not avoid Su Yao at all. Su Yao knew that her own brother was fighting so hard for his fake sister, so why didn't she react at all
But of course he wouldn't ask it out loud, as asking would seem like trying to sow discord between the siblings. Nephews and nieces are both his flesh and blood, and he was actually a little dissatisfied with Su An this time.
He's so old, how come he doesn't know that everything he does has consequences
After returning, he also told He Er's grandmother: "I have checked it out. This is really not my younger sister's intention. It was An'er who wanted to vent his anger on Ruyi. I heard that it was because the Shen couple kept coming to our house, causing Ruyi to have nightmares every night..."
Second Madam He sneered.
Having a nightmare
Only people who have done too many bad things will feel guilty. Su Xingxuan is so young, but she is so insidious. How can she not have nightmares
"They are all confused." He Er Niang personally served him the soup and shook her head. "An'er is going too far. Ruyi has been his sister for more than ten years. They grew up together and naturally have a deeper relationship than Yaoyao, who he has never met. This is also human nature. But Yaoyao is his sister after all, so there should be some affection between them. He is so cruel for Ruyi. It's too much."
Second Grandma He remembered another thing - her sister-in-law had previously planned to marry her niece from her mother's side, and wanted Su An to marry her niece from her mother's side.
I used to think that the identities and status of our two families were compatible, but now I think I should make things clear with my sister-in-law when I go back this time.
Otherwise, if Su Ruyi disliked her niece, wouldn't Su An beat his wife for her? A child of an aristocratic family who didn't even have the most basic ability to distinguish right from wrong and acted purely based on likes and dislikes, how could he achieve anything in the future
Su Yao could guess what Second Madam He was thinking.
When she returned to the yard, Mother Shen came to meet her. Seeing that her eyes were red and swollen, she knew that she must have cried. She felt sad and followed her closely, calling her "girl" and said, "Would you like to take a rest first? Our things have been reorganized. I made a list. Do you want to take a look at the new people?"
Su Yao walked into the house, took the list from Mother Shen's hand, took a look at it, and smiled slightly. She actually didn't save anything over the years. Most of the money the Su family gave her and the rewards from Mrs. He and her uncles and aunts in recent years went into the pockets of Nanny Sang and Zhenzhu.
However, now they have turned around and returned to her hands.
The bracelet has now been wiped several times by Mother Shen, and it lies shiny and glossy in the black lacquered wooden box, emitting a faint green light.
"Shall I put it on for you?" Mother Shen knew how much she cared about the bracelet, and thought she was happy to have it back, so she hurried to take it out.
"No need." Su Yao closed the box calmly, and even his tone was calm: "It's very troublesome to carry it with you, so put it away and don't take it out again."
She won't look back. She once lived her life seriously and worked hard. There are indeed many things she cannot obtain, but she will never fall back into this trap for these reasons.
Just like this bracelet, she won't wear it anymore.
Compared to winning the favor of Madam Su San and the others, Su Yao was more eager to figure out another thing.
Nanny Sang urged her to meet the Shen couple, which was something she had never done in her previous life. Although it sounded a bit like looking down on herself, she knew clearly that in her previous life, Su Xingxuan did not take her seriously at all and only treated her as a clown for people to watch and entertain. She watched coldly as she bumped her head and bled in her efforts to please the Su family.
Then why did Su Xingxuan, who thought highly of herself, speed up her steps in this life, as if she had made up her mind to completely lose the favor of the elders of the Su family before she went to Beijing
The answer to this question should be with Aunt He.
Aunt He said that this marriage might not happen to her in the end.
Marriage...
Su Yao sneered, thinking about why she was treated as a sacrifice and married to the Cheng family after she came to Beijing - why did Cheng Dingan fight with Su An? It was because Su Xingxuan was originally rumored to be chosen as the fourth prince's consort, but in the end it didn't happen, Cheng Dingan spoke rudely, and was beaten by Su An.
I see.
But unfortunately, now that she is back, everything has to change again.
This time, Second Madam He will also go back to Beijing with them. Second Madam He, who has been used, may not do anything to Second Master He's nephew Su An, but she will definitely vent her anger on Su Xingxuan.
It is impossible for the He family to serve as a link for Su Xingxuan anymore.
