It turned out that Mrs. Su San and Mrs. Su Er had some grudge against each other.
No wonder she felt that Mrs. Su was particularly hostile to her. So that was the case. But she was a little puzzled: "Even if that's the case... "
Is this an overreaction
Su Xingyi was silent for a moment, brushed away a branch beside her, and then continued: "You don't know, in addition to the sixth sister and Xiaojiu, the second aunt also has a son, the eighth, who is older than Xiaojiu. Once, there was a conflict between the second aunt and the third aunt, and not long after that, the eighth brother fell into the well..."
Su Yao stopped and looked at Su Xingyi and Su Rong in disbelief.
Could it be that Mrs. Su San did this
Although Mrs. Su San was selfish, she was not a wicked person. At least in her previous life, she had never been responsible for any deaths.
Even if the second wife was a concubine's daughter and was not favored, Mrs. Su San would not attack a child, right? Especially under the premise that the second wife did not pose any threat to her at all.
Seeing Su Yao's confusion, Su Xingyi patted Su Yao's shoulder and said softly, "Eighth brother was a very obedient child, and he listened to Second Aunt's words. He was only five years old when he died... Second Aunt has not been in touch with everyone since then."
At that time, the Su family had just encountered the incident in the enclosure. Old Mrs. Su completely collapsed and fell ill. She had no intention of taking care of the household affairs. In addition, Su Rong's condition was not good either, so the matter was eventually left unresolved.
Later, Mrs. Su Er took the children and followed Mr. Su Er to work in another place. Six years later, Mr. Su Er came back because his term of office was over. This time, Mrs. Su Er did not follow Mr. Su Er, but stayed.
"Speaking of which, Second Aunt has only been back for a short time, just the year before last. She has always been a very strong-willed person, and never willing to reveal her thoughts to others..." Su Xingyi was a little disappointed: "You know grandma's temper. Grandma doesn't have enough energy to worry about so many people, so Second Aunt put on a defensive posture, and grandma simply didn't bother to care about her, saying that maybe Second Aunt would be more comfortable this way."
Su Xingyi was actually explaining to Su Yao how Second Madam Su treated Su Yao. She comforted Su Yao, "Don't be angry. You know Su An's temper. He has his eyes on the top of his head. Except for Su Ruyi, he is not very patient with all his brothers and sisters, especially Xiaojiu. Maybe because of Second Aunt's attitude, he especially likes to tease Xiaojiu."
This made the second wife even more hostile towards the third wife.
Su Yao understood what Su Xingyi meant, smiled and nodded: "I understand, don't worry, big sister, I know what I am doing."
"It's good that you know." Su Xingyi sighed again: "It's just pitiful for Sixth Sister. Second Aunt won't let her go out to play, but she is so harsh. I don't know what to do in the future."
Su Rong, who had been silent the whole time, said loudly: "Xiao Liu is only four years younger than Yao Yao. Second Aunt will take her out for a walk sooner or later. But this matter should not be discussed by us."
The more they talk, the more counterproductive it becomes.
Su Xingyi stopped talking about this topic and turned to look at Su Rong and Su Yao: "By the way, why did you come back so early? Did you celebrate the birthday for me and Aunt Shen?"
Speaking of the Shen family, Su Yao smiled: "My godmother asked me to thank you, saying that the brocade you gave me is really too valuable."
"What's expensive or not? No matter how expensive something is, it has value only if it can be used." Su Xingyi didn't care: "If you keep it with me, it will just go to waste."
As they were talking, Mother Ji hurriedly came towards them and said loudly, "Miss, Master, Fourth Miss, the old lady wants you to come over. She said someone from the Wang family is coming."
Mrs. Wang
Su Xingyi immediately perked up - Mrs. Wang was talking about Doctor Shen a few days ago. Could it be that Doctor Shen had arrived in the capital? !
She couldn't help but be happy. She glanced at Su Rong in a panic and said hurriedly, "Go and have a look."
Even Su Rong, who was always mature, had a glimmer of hope in his eyes when he heard this.
It is rumored that Doctor Shen has the reputation of being a miracle doctor and is very good at meridians. He once cured a general who had lost consciousness in his lower body after falling off a frightened horse.
He clenched his fists.
Almost at the same time, Su Yao noticed Su Rong's nervousness. She put her hand on Su Rong's wheelchair and said happily, "Okay, let's go over and take a look together."
Su Rong smiled at her, took a deep breath in his heart, and tried his best to calm himself down.
In Kangping Garden, Old Lady Su was also looking at Mrs. Wang with great joy: "There was a magpie calling on the tree branch early this morning. I thought it was here."
Mrs. Wang drank a sip of tea, and the smile on her face was also unconcealed: "Old lady, you are too kind. He arrived last night, but he said that he had a friend to visit, so he didn't come with me. I was afraid that you would worry, so I came to tell you first."
Old Mrs. Su prayed in her heart, and said to Mrs. Wang with great joy, "You are too polite. It's okay. Whenever he is free to come, I will prepare a bed for him."
She was really happy. When she saw Su Rong and Su Yao coming in, she waved to Su Rong and said, "Quick, thank you Aunt Wang. Doctor Shen has come to the capital. He said he was going to meet a friend. When he finishes his work, he will come over to check your leg."
It turned out that she didn't come, but Mrs. Wang came to tell her first. Su Xingyi felt a little disappointed, but then she laughed at herself for being too impatient.
It’s good enough that she could find someone, why is she so anxious at this time
Mrs. Wang quickly reached out to support Su Rong: "Don't be like this, I'm just afraid that you will worry..."
As she was talking, Madam Ji rushed in in panic: "Madam! Butler Li asked the young master to leave. He said that the Jinyiwei had arrived!"
Jinyiwei!
Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment.
Mrs. Wang was even more shocked and confused.
Old Mrs. Su frowned, and suddenly came back to her senses from her joy. She glanced at her grandchildren, then looked at Mrs. Wang, who was sitting next to her with a stiff expression, and asked, "Who is leading the team?"
“Yes...it’s Commander Lai!” Mother Ji’s voice trembled a little.
Coming here at this time and in such a threatening manner, it doesn't look like a good thing no matter how you look at it.
Old Madam Su's face also completely darkened. She glanced at Su Yao and said, "Yaoyao, stay here and talk to Madam Wang for a while. I'll go out and take a look."
She wanted to see what was going on.
Su Xingyi immediately stood up and said, "I'll go out with you."
Old Madam Su nodded, and gently apologized to Madam Wang: "I'm so sorry, thank you for waiting."
