She has been raising this daughter by her side since she was born, and even a wet nurse is of no use.
She took great pains to educate her, gave her the best, treated her like the apple of her hand, always cleaning her and caring for her, wishing to give her everything good.
Over the years, this child really didn't waste her love.
No matter which one it is, try your best to do your best.
When she first got married, she was competing with the first wife.
They got married into the family one after the other. The eldest sister-in-law gave birth to a son in the first year, and then another son right after that. But she had no children for several years. Later, she finally gave birth to Su An, and the eldest sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter. She was the first girl of the Su family's grandchildren. They already had a legitimate son, so this eldest legitimate daughter was undoubtedly the icing on the cake. Old Mrs. Su loved the eldest girl like the apple of her eye.
She lost all her radiance, and felt more and more frustrated.
After giving birth to Su Xingxuan, she required Su Xingxuan to learn whatever the older girl wanted.
The eldest girl could walk before she was one year old. When Su Xingxuan was eleven months old, she would pull Su Xingxuan's arm and walk on the bed every day.
The eldest girl could call daddy and mommy when she was one year and one month old. She pulled Su Xingxuan's fingers and pressed them on her throat, teaching Su Xingxuan to speak word by word.
She compares herself with her elder sister-in-law in everything and doesn't want her children to be worse than her elder sister-in-law's children.
If the first wife hadn't gotten into trouble later, she would still be competing with her.
In fact, even if something happened to the first wife, she would still feel indignant.
Because even though the eldest son became a cripple and the eldest daughter lived in obscurity and poverty after her marriage, Old Lady Su still treated the third wife with indifference.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Su San couldn't help but pursed her lips again.
Old Madam Su had very high standards. Even someone as outstanding as Su Xingxuan could not win her favor, let alone Su Yao
Thinking of Su Yao, she felt a headache again.
Although her mother and second sister-in-law said implicitly that Su Yao was a sensible person, if she was really sensible, her mother would not have had to send her all the way to the capital to support her.
She shook her head, and finally helped Su Xingxuan up. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said softly, "Be sensible. I brought you up, too. As long as you are well, you will always be my daughter."
Su Xingxuan's head was still buzzing even after she left the room.
She couldn't figure out if Su Yao was crazy. What good would it be for her to instigate Mrs. He and Second Mistress He to complain now? Yes, she would be suspected, but what then
Does Su Yao have any evidence
She had no evidence at all. No matter how stupid Su An was, he wouldn't be that stupid. Nanny Sang didn't have the guts to involve herself.
Since there is no evidence, what good does it do for her? !
At the same time, Su Yao was already on his way to Beijing.
Because Mrs. He was going to the capital with them, the He family hired a very large two-story ship with cabins on both floors. The upstairs floor was where the masters lived, while the downstairs was where the servants lived.
Mrs. He hadn't been out for a long time. She looked out the window at the pier getting farther and farther away, and suddenly sighed with some melancholy: "I thought I would never leave this place in my life."
After leaving the house, everyone was in high spirits, even Madam Huang. She smiled and handed the soup bowl to Madam He: "Speaking of this, we really have to thank our cousin. If it weren't for her, we would have to live with Madam in the mansion for the rest of our lives."
Su Yao was caught off guard by being called out, so he withdrew his gaze from outside, sat next to Mrs. He, and asked her softly: "Grandma, don't you blame me?"
Her eyes were clear but a little apprehensive. She hesitated for a moment before she said, "You clearly know that when my godfather and godmother left, I asked them to send a letter to the capital in the name of my uncle. Now they should have known in advance that my brother was suppressing the Shen family and framing me. I kept it from you. Aren't you angry?"
The cabin became quiet, and even the noisy sounds from the dock gradually faded away.
Nanny Huang looked at Su Yao in surprise, thinking that perhaps she had been following Mrs. He in the vegetarian and Buddhist practices for too long, so her ability to guess people's minds had declined a lot.
She had no idea what such a little girl was thinking.
You may say she is stupid, but she is not stupid at all, otherwise she would not have been able to turn the tables at the critical moment, and get rid of Nanny Sang and Zhenzhu cleanly and neatly, and save the Shen couple, keeping the relationship intact without losing face or alarming the He and Su families.
But if you say she is smart, what she did was not smart - look at what she did this time. Mrs. He clearly said that she would accompany her to Beijing. Anyone with a brain would not guess what Mrs. He was going to do
This is already to support Su Yao.
Why would Su Yao need to go to such lengths to ask the Shen couple to deliver another letter first
Mrs. He lowered her head and looked at her. Her expression was unrecognizable. She just raised her eyebrows and asked, "Since you knew I might be angry, why did you do this?"
Su Yao leaned his head on her knees: "I know that grandma came to Beijing this time to support me, and she will definitely give me an explanation for this matter, but I feel that this is not enough."
Nanny Huang immediately glanced at Mrs. He.
Su Yao continued to talk to himself: "Because I know that my father and mother will not really make the decision for me. How can a child raised outside be closer to me than one who is by my side? Even if my grandmother helps me, they will probably only think that I am scheming and deliberately coaxing you to make a big deal out of it..."
Su Yao had already understood the personalities of Master Su San and Madam Su San very well.
She wouldn't hold out any hope for them.
When they heard about this, were they angry
There is always some anger. After all, beating a dog depends on the owner. She is always stronger than the dog.
But they were merely angry, and they couldn't even hold Su An or Su Xingxuan accountable. The most they could do was to scold them in front of Mrs. He.
But Su Yao wanted more than just this.
Or rather, it can’t just be like this.
She wanted the entire Su family to know about this matter, and wanted the attitudes of Master Su San and Madam Su San to be known to Old Madam Su and Young Master Su.
This is her real purpose.
Mrs. He's eyes darkened. She knew that Su Yao was not convinced and angry, so she sighed: "But have you ever thought about going back like this? Your brother is a man who loves you and wants you to live, and hates you and wants you to die..."
There is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation.
