As expected, Old Lady Su gave the East Courtyard to Su Yao to live in. Not only that, she also gave him a few decorations from the warehouse, saying that they were to protect Su Yao's home.
Master Su San was overjoyed.
Ever since his eldest brother got into trouble, he had always been at fault in front of the old lady, and the relationship between the biological mother and son had become estranged. No matter how hard he tried to please her, the old lady was always cold to him, which made him very upset and frustrated.
The old lady didn't seem to like his children either, and was always indifferent to Su Xingxuan and Su An.
Thanks to Mrs. He, Su Yao actually won the favor of Mrs. Su. This instantly improved Mr. Su San's impression of Su Yao, and he became more friendly to Su Yao: "It's freezing cold, I see your clothes are a little thin, ask your mother to make you some winter clothes."
Mrs. Su San suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Before Su Yao came, she was indeed very concerned about him. She had thought of everything, including where to live and how to prepare cloth and make clothes.
But as soon as Su Yao came, there was an unpleasant quarrel in the family. Su An was severely punished and confined to his house, and Su Xingxuan was frightened and fell ill, so she forgot about the matter.
Now that it was brought up by Master Su San, the man in charge of the household, it seemed that she, the mother who was in charge of the harem, was not paying attention.
She coughed and said calmly, "I've already ordered someone to make her some clothes, but she didn't come before, so I don't know the size. It'll take time to make them now."
Master Su San hummed, then smiled and said to Su Yao: "Don't be shy, this is your home, your grandmother is your real grandmother, we are a family, just be at ease, no one will dare to bully you again, if your brother makes trouble again, I will definitely deal with him!"
Mrs. Su San immediately looked at Su Yao nervously, fearing that she would say something aggrieved again, which would cause Su An to be punished again.
Su Yao, however, was not in the mood to complain.
If filing a complaint could solve the problem, then Su An would not be just confined to his home.
She responded yes obediently.
Master Su San felt satisfied as a father, and was also pleased with Su Yao's knowledge and interest. He turned to look at Mrs. Su San and said, "By the way, are you ready for the Wang family's birthday banquet in a few days? Take Yaoyao with you when the time comes. Your mother-in-law will be there, so she can take care of you."
Su Yao's mind moved.
In her previous life, when she attended the Wang family's birthday party, her marriage to Cheng Dingan had already been finalized and there was no turning back.
Everyone knew that she was just a scapegoat kicked out by the Su family and treated her with disdain. Even her future sister-in-law, the girl from the Cheng family, mocked her because of her brother's injury.
If you think about it carefully, the tragedy of her life seemed to have started from this birthday party.
Of course, that will never happen in this life.
In front of her husband, Mrs. Su San always accepted everything and smiled. She waited until Master Su San left before she turned cold. After enduring for a long time, she finally couldn't help but get angry. Su Yao: "Your brother was beaten because of you. Did you know that?"
here we go again.
In his previous life, Su Yao had an unhappy life in the Cheng family, but every time he returned home, he felt that things were even worse.
Because Mrs. Su San always asked her in this tone, "What happened to your brother? Do you know?"
It seemed as if her existence was entirely for Su An, and if Su An's life was not going well, she would not even deserve to be alive.
How sad, self-blaming and conflicted she was at that time, and how bored, tired and cold she is in this life.
She nodded calmly and asked calmly, "Does brother know he is wrong?"
Mrs. Su San was startled.
How could she mean that!
What she meant was that Su Yao should be more restrained and sensible in the future, and not make a big fuss over the slightest grievance and let Su An be punished.
With a pain in her heart, Mrs. Su San said coldly, "Don't take advantage of your grandmother's love and act lawless! You've caused a commotion right after you came back. Who else do you have in your eyes?!"
This daughter didn't understand her at all, and couldn't help her mother with her worries. She was really fed up with it. Sometimes she thought about it fiercely and decided that it would be better not to come back just like she had told Su An.
She missed the time when the identities of the real and fake daughters had not been discovered. At that time, she had a well-behaved, sensible, obedient and filial daughter, and a good son. It was not like now, with all the troubles and exhaustion in her heart.
Su Yao raised her head quietly and looked at Mrs. Su San. She knew she should say something submissive, but she felt it was unnecessary to bow down to this confused woman.
Because in her heart, her son is always the most important and dearest to her. Although she was happy this time, if something happens to Su An next time, everything will be back to square one.
So after seeing Mrs. Su San feeling a little uncomfortable, she gently reminded him, "Mother, father has understood, why don't you understand? Father beats brother not because he doesn't love him, on the contrary, it's for his own good. Brother will study and take exams in the future. If he lives his whole life like this, with all his joys and sorrows revolving around a sister, then what will he be able to do in the future?"
Mrs. Su San was not really unaware of this truth in her heart; Mrs. He had only to make it clear at the time.
But after she was briefly dissatisfied with how much Su An cared about Su Ruyi, she was quickly convinced by Su Ruyi's tears - after all, they were siblings who grew up together, so their feelings for each other were naturally extraordinary.
Hearing Su Yao say this, she suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if her son really had some secret worry. But just as she was about to raise her eyebrows and scold him, Lu Zao came in through the curtains, stood at the curtains and called out "Madam", and said to Madam Su San anxiously, "Go and have a look, something has happened to the old lady, she's making a fuss about going out!"
What
Mrs. Su San was so shocked that she got off the kang without even putting on her shoes. She asked in disbelief, "What's going on? Where is the old lady going?"
Where is she going if she hasn't taken a single step in more than ten years
Lu Zao came forward in a hurry to help her put on her shoes, and said breathlessly: "Something happened to the eldest young master! I heard that he fell down the mountain in the academy for some reason, and he hasn't been found yet. When the academy sent the news back, the old lady fainted immediately..."
The eldest master, Su Rong, has bad legs and feet. He has been confined to a wheelchair ever since the accident in the enclosure. He is now studying at Hedong Academy and only comes back once every ten days.
It's no wonder that the old lady fainted from shock and anger after he got into trouble, and Mrs. Su San also became anxious.
