Su Xingyi had just said that Second Madam Su was so unkind, paranoid and strict that she treated Su Xingtian like a prisoner. She didn't know what to do with Su Xingtian's marriage in the future. It can be seen that Su Xingtian's marriage had not been finalized before.
Now Mr. Su Er is working in another place. Why did Mrs. Su Er arrange her daughter's marriage without any warning
Apart from the fact that Mrs. Su San gave her to Cheng Ding'an for Su An and Su Ruyi in the previous life, Su Yao had never seen any family that was so careless and perfunctory about their daughter's marriage. No matter what, there must be overt and covert investigations and various appearances before engagement.
For a family like the Su family, even if the second branch is born out of wedlock, there are still many things to pay attention to.
How could Mrs. Su act so quickly
Su Yao saw that Su Xingtian was crying so hard that she couldn't breathe, and she couldn't help but feel sympathetic. She reached out and pulled Su Xingtian to her side, and said in a calm tone, "You must have come to me for a reason. So tell me, how can I help you?"
Perhaps because her tone was too gentle, Su Xingtian finally couldn't control her emotions. She collapsed and slid to the ground, like a puppy abandoned by its owner. She explained to Su Yao intermittently: "I don't know what happened to mother. A while ago, mother said that she would take me to the old lady's house to walk around more, saying that I was almost old enough and it was time to settle down my marriage. The old lady had a wide range of experience and could always choose better than her. But... But after a few days, mother suddenly changed. She controlled us more strictly than before and didn't even let us go out... Ninth brother is young and can't stay in the yard. He insisted on going to the garden to watch the fish, so I took him out and happened to come to you again..."
Su Xingtian was a little dazed. She sat on the ground and nervously tugged at her fingers again: "After we went back, when mother knew we were here, she flew into a rage and made my brother kneel on the patio for half the night... Then after you came to visit me, she discussed with Mother Wen about arranging a marriage for me. She planned to arrange an engagement for me with my cousin from my uncle's family. My cousin likes to beat people the most. He even beat my ninth brother..."
I don’t know if it was because she was too nervous, but Su Xingtian’s words were a little unclear and she covered her head while speaking incoherently.
Su Yao's expression darkened.
If what Su Xingtian said was true, her cousin was completely useless. Was Mrs. Su crazy to arrange such a marriage for her daughter
Could it be that all this happened just because Su Xingtian brought Su Zheng to her place? And the Third Wife had a grudge against the Second Wife
Su Yao felt it was too far-fetched.
She suddenly asked Su Xingtian, who was sitting on the ground without any manners, "Xiao Liu, do you know why your mother reacted so strongly to you coming to my place?"
Seeing Su Xingtian was stunned, Su Yao said patiently: "I don't think I have offended Second Aunt. Even if there is some hatred between the elders, it shouldn't be worth Second Aunt's explicit behavior, right?"
Su Xingtian hesitated to speak.
Su Yao handed her the white porcelain bowl of sour plum soup and said in a gentle and persuasive manner, "Xiao Liu, you are a smart child. You didn't even ask your grandmother for help, nor did you go to your elder sister. You just came to me. I believe you must have a special reason. What is it? Don't worry, as long as I can help you, I will naturally help you."
After she finished speaking, she glanced out the window again: "Mother Wen seems to be in a hurry to take you back. You don't have much time, and Yancao may not be able to pester her for too long."
This sentence worked. Su Xingtian's hand holding the porcelain bowl shook and she almost spilled the sour plum soup.
She lowered her voice and lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito: "Fourth sister, I... I don't know why, but I was beaten by mother that night, and fell asleep in mother's green gauze kitchen. When I woke up, I heard mother Wen tell mother that just in case, in case I let the cat out of the bag, they had to find a way to send me away quickly, so why not send me to my grandparents' home in the name of an engagement..."
Slipped the tongue
Su Yao keenly grasped the fact that something was wrong. What could there be in the Second House that was worth telling that couldn't be known by her family, let alone her
Isn’t the second wife’s surname Su
Su Yao thought Mrs. Su's behavior was absurd and ridiculous. He nodded his finger on the table and lowered his head to meet Su Xingtian's gaze: "Then do you know what they are afraid of you leaking?"
Su Xingtian and Su Zheng came that day, but they didn't stay long from beginning to end. They just came to eat some snacks and play for a while.
Su Yao also treated them as just children and didn't even talk much to them.
But Mrs. Su acted as if she was facing a formidable enemy.
Mother Wen even dared to tell the hostess directly that she wanted to arrange a marriage for the young lady and send her off.
There was something so odd and strange about the whole thing.
Su Xingtian also shook her head blankly: "I don't know either. I didn't say anything to you... Later, after you came, Mother Wen watched me even more closely, but I didn't want to go to my grandparents' house. My cousin is not a good person. He always bullies his younger brother and his cousins. I... I heard from Mother Wen in private that you are very powerful..."
Mother Wen and the others also talked about her in private.
Su Yao suddenly had an idea and raised his eyebrows.
Glancing at the panicked Su Xingtian, Su Yao paused before saying, "I know everything. Don't worry, I won't let your marriage fall on your cousin."
Su Xingtian was still very anxious: "But if I come here, I'm afraid that Mother Wen and my mother will be even more angry when I go back..."
That means her marriage could be settled more quickly.
Su Yao smiled, revealing her usual smile, and shook her head at Su Xingtian: "It's okay. If you don't want to be arranged to marry that bastard, just go back and insist that you only came to my place for snacks. I will find a way to deal with the rest."
Su Xingtian stopped pinching her fingers and raised her head to look at Su Yao steadily. For some reason, when she met Su Yao's gaze, she suddenly felt some courage and confidence in her heart.
After hesitating and struggling for a while, she finally mustered up her courage and stood up from the ground, ready to die: "Then... I'll go back and tell my mother this..."
It happened that Yancao outside could no longer stop Mother Wen. Su Yao hummed and saw that Su Xingtian had wiped her face clean. His eyes froze for a moment, but he quickly let Mother Wen in. Then he smiled and said to Mother Wen, "Sixth sister is such a child. She said she wanted some snacks and cried for a long time. I didn't know why she was crying and she didn't say anything. I really had no idea what to do."
