"Do you think I can protect you?" Old Madam Su sneered, "I am half buried in the ground, a powerless widow. What else can I do except to suppress them with the word 'filial piety'?"
Su Yao felt that Old Mrs. Su had a hard time too.
She quietly placed her eyes on the scroll and asked softly, "Isn't grandma supporting my elder brother's title? As long as people are alive, there is hope. My parents are unreliable, and I don't want to put my hope on them. So I want to help grandma and my elder brother, and help myself at the same time."
In this life, you should be a good human being at least once.
Don’t be treated as a commodity from beginning to end, and have your remaining value squeezed out again and again.
She couldn't expect to achieve this goal by relying on Master Su San and Madam Su San.
Although this life was much better than the last one - at least he didn't just throw her out like a sacrifice without even meeting her and gave her an unequal marriage.
Mrs. He is no match for him either - if the trajectory of the previous life is followed, Mr. He will be framed when he returns from the capital, and by then everything will be too late, and Mrs. He will die of depression just like in the previous life.
And what did she hope for
She just hopes that all this will not happen, and that she and the people she cares about can live a good life.
Old Madam Su widened her eyes in shock, her face suddenly turned cold, and she scolded in a stern voice: "What nonsense are you talking about!? Who told you these words?!"
Before, she just didn't dislike Su Yao, and with the help of Mrs. He, she was more tolerant of this girl. How could the person who said such words be a purely honest person
She narrowed her eyes sternly and looked at Su Yao with a stern expression on her face.
Did Mrs. He ask Su Yao to say this
Otherwise, she was a teenage girl who had been far away in Taiyuan and had never come back. No matter how much she cared, she should not have said such words.
She felt a little irritated, so her tone was naturally not very good: "Who taught you these words?"
What is the purpose?!
"No one taught me, I just think this way." Su Yao was not afraid of Old Lady Su's indifference. She didn't want to be a sparrow that depended on others to survive, because she needed her own wings to fly higher.
The sky gradually darkened, and the light on the windowsill gradually moved outwards. Su Yao suddenly laughed: "Grandma, I guess big brother will be home soon. If there is anything, why don't we wait until big brother comes back and then talk it out?"
Old Mrs. Su was uneasy. She used to think Su Yao was a little white rabbit, but now it seemed that Su Yao did not look like a little white rabbit at all. Instead, he looked like a wolf in sheep's clothing, with a cold and hard heart under his well-behaved appearance.
As if to confirm Su Yao's words, soon after the room fell silent, Yu Xia hurried in and said to Old Madam Su happily, "Old Madam, the Third Master has brought the Young Master back, and he is now heading to the Young Master's Qinghui Hall!"
Young Master Su was injured, so he should naturally go back to his residence to ask the doctor for treatment and not move.
Mrs. Su didn't care about Su Yao and tried to stand up immediately, but she was too excited and had no strength. Su Yao quickly stepped forward and supported her naturally, saying quietly: "Can I go with you?"
Old Mrs. Su glanced at her and did not object.
Mrs. He had been watching over Old Lady Su for a long time and was very tired. She was advised to go and rest. When she heard the news, she hurried over and said to Old Lady Su, "I will go with you. I haven't seen Rong'er for many years. I don't know how he is doing now."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Su sighed in an ambiguous tone: "What else can I do? He was such a good child, and he became like this all of a sudden... He is like a completely different person, and the marriage is also cancelled..."
Su Rong was a strong-willed man. After he got into an accident and became lame, his fiancée sent people to hint to him several times, and their words showed that she didn't want to be delayed, so he called off the marriage immediately.
Old Mrs. Su was very worried about him.
But there are some things that he cannot accept just because you worry about him or do it for his own good. After all, Su Rong went to Hedong Academy, and the number of times he came back to the Su family over the years was just like visiting.
Come to think of it, even as a grandmother, she hasn't had a good talk with this child for a long time.
She listened absentmindedly to Mrs. He's comfort all the way to Qinghui Hall. She saw Su Rong lying on the bed with several wounds on the exposed parts of his face and neck. She could not help but call out "Rong brother" and walked over tremblingly.
Su Rong turned her head and her eyes fell on the unfamiliar face beside her. After a pause, she called out softly, "Grandma."
Old Mrs. Su responded with tears in her eyes. She sat on the edge of the bed and looked him up and down. Seeing that he was only injured superficially, she was relieved and asked him, "What happened? Why did you fall down the mountain for no reason?"
As she spoke, she became a little angry: "How do He Jian and his men do things?"
He Jian is an old family general in the mansion. He also followed the old uncle to the battlefield to kill the enemy. He was placed next to Su Rong to protect Su Rong's safety. Now even He Jian made mistakes. Old Mrs. Su was very upset and anxious.
When she got angry, everyone fell silent.
Even Mrs. Su San, who had just come in, stayed quietly aside, fearing that she would be affected by the anger of Old Mrs. Su.
Su Rong shook his head palely, "No wonder Uncle Jian and the others were like that. Someone told me that you asked me to come home, that my fourth sister had returned home, and that I should come and recognize my relatives. That's when I was about to go down the mountain. Who knew that an accident would happen on the way down the mountain?"
Everyone was stunned.
Master Su San's expression changed immediately.
Su Rong's words were full of meaning. Just as someone from his family came to tell Su Rong to come down the mountain, he had an accident on the way down the mountain...
He suddenly shouted very sensitively: "Mother told me that it's so cold today, so there's no need to disturb you about Yaoyao's return. Anyway, the academy will be closed soon and you can go home for the New Year... We didn't even send anyone to send you a letter! Rong'er, could you have made a mistake?"
Oh my God, the old lady wouldn’t think that this was done by their third room and is deliberately making trouble for Su Rong, right
He didn't have the slightest idea of doing that. Su Rong was already disabled. What could a disabled person do? Could he really inherit the title? He would not mess with Su Rong. Not only would it bring him a bad reputation, but it would also disgust the old lady!
