The wind outside was getting stronger, and the leaves rustled against the windows. Old Mrs. Su picked up the candle on the table, watched the flame crackle, and asked coldly, "Just let him kowtow to Rong Ge'er and admit his fault, and that's it. Where's that fake guy?"
Her eyes were cold, and she suddenly chuckled: "With such a vicious heart, you actually want to send her to the Fourth Prince! Are you tired of living, or do you want our Su family to perish with her?!"
She is so impatient and has no conscience at all. She disregards the Su family's nurturing for more than ten years and the protection of Mrs. Su San and the preference of Su An. She clearly already has wealth that does not belong to her, but she still stares at the pitiful things in other people's hands. She is so petty and unpresentable, narrow-minded and vengeful. So what if she was sent to the Fourth Prince
Who knows what she can do? !
Master Su San was scolded so much that he couldn't even lift his head. He didn't dare to touch Old Lady Su's whiskers. His lips were so dry that they were peeling. He subconsciously raised his head and said softly, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. She dared to use the people around An'er to harm Rong'er and Yaoyao. She is so cruel. We can't keep her in our mansion. I plan to send her to the farm overnight and say that I'm sending her there to recuperate..."
Of course, the period of recuperation is indefinite.
Being able to do such a thing, Master Su San would never allow her to come back for the sake of his son's future.
Old Madam Su snorted coldly, her expression still cold and distant. When she heard that Master Su San wanted Su Xingxuan to kowtow to Su Rong before leaving, she immediately said, "No need! If such a person goes to see Rong'er, it will only pollute Rong'er's eyes. Since you have decided to send her away, then move quickly, otherwise she will commit suicide because of her, and your daughter-in-law will be soft-hearted and confused and reluctant to let her go."
Although she had a good relationship with Mrs. He, Mrs. Su had always treated Mrs. Su San indifferently and could never get close to her. Mr. Su San was well aware of this.
He hurriedly replied "yes" and went out. He looked at the bamboo forest swaying in the wind outside the yard and suddenly let out a long breath.
The lanterns hanging under the corridor of Kangping Garden were still burning. After an unknown amount of time, Old Lady Su told Madam Huang, "Go and invite the fourth young lady over."
Nanny Huang was a little surprised. She glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and hesitated a little. But seeing that Old Lady Su had a firm expression, she dared not say anything and went to the cross-courtyard herself, carrying a lantern.
She originally thought that Su Yao must have gone to bed, but when she arrived at the cross courtyard, she found that the light in Su Yao's room was still on. As soon as she entered the door, the gatekeeper went to report. Yan Cao, the eldest maid beside Su Yao, came out and said hurriedly, "Mom, please come in quickly. It's so cold. Have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up first."
Huang Ma was a little puzzled that Su Yao seemed to know that someone was coming tonight, but she didn't show anything on her face. She smiled and shook her head: "No need. The old lady couldn't sleep, so she wanted to let the girl go over and recite Buddhist scriptures with her. I wonder if the girl has fallen asleep?"
"Not yet. Please wait a moment." Yan Cao led her through the curtain and entered the room. Su Yao had already come out from behind the curtain. Nanny Huang saw that Su Yao was still dressed as she was during the day and had not taken off her hairpins. She was even more surprised and repeated what she had said before.
Su Yao agreed with a smile, asked Yan Cao to carry the lantern, and did not need to prepare anything himself. He followed Nanny Huang directly to the old lady's room.
Mrs. Su had finished washing up and was leaning on the couch thinking about what had happened this time. When she heard the noise, she looked up and saw that Su Yao was still dressed the same as during the day, so she asked, "Did you know I was looking for you?"
Su Yao took a seat on the chair beside her at her signal. Seeing that Nanny Huang had also left, he responded calmly, "With father's quick response and the ability of the mansion, it is a foregone conclusion that Qingsong will be caught. It must not be difficult for him to interrogate Qingsong. So I guessed it early on that after you talked with father, you must still have many questions in your mind..."
Indeed, Mrs. Su still had many doubts in her mind.
Looking deeply at Su Yao, Mrs. Su finally asked, "Was it your arrangement that the Shen couple rescued your eldest brother?"
Su Yao nodded without hesitation.
Mrs. Su's eyes darkened: "Did you know that Su Xingxuan wanted to harm your eldest brother?"
Su Yao still nodded.
The room was quiet for a moment, and the only sound was the howling of the wind outside the window.
Old lady Su's expression instantly turned gloomy: "Then can you explain to me how you can predict the future?!" When the old lady was angry, she seemed like a completely different person, and her aura became aggressive.
"Not a prophet." When Su Yao looked at you, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, like a phoenix spreading its wings. This is like a member of the Su family. Most of the Su family members have a pair of eyes like a fox.
But Su Yao's eyes were more beautiful than those of any other Su family member. Her eyes made her face instantly more charming and lively. When her eyes moved, she looked like a mountain ghost or fox fairy in strange stories and legends, dazzling people.
Even Mrs. Su was stunned for a moment before she calmed down and asked her, "Then how can you arrange for the Shen couple in advance?"
"Because I know Su Xingxuan very well." Su Yao had already made sufficient preparations for this day. Now that Old Lady Su asked, her words were impeccable: "In the four years in the He family, Su Xingxuan disdained me and treated me as a mouse to be teased by her. My life and death depended entirely on her. But I dare not underestimate a person who has clearly exposed his identity but can still firmly grasp the hearts of my biological parents and brother. "
Seeing that Old Lady Su seemed to be unconvinced, she said, "From what Aunt Sang and Zhenzhu said and what they did, I gradually figured out what kind of person Su Xingxuan was and what choice she would make at the right time..."
If that’s the case, then Su Yao is truly terrifying.
She is simply a very observant person.
But Old Lady Su still didn't believe it. She just sneered: "Is that all?"
"No, of course it's not just that." She said, "I also know many other things, for example... Old lady, I know who really wants my brother's life. In fact, you know it in your heart, right? That's why you have been pretending to be weak to the enemy for so many years, and have become an old lady who eats vegetarian food and chants Buddhist scriptures all year round, right?"
Old Madam Su suddenly grasped the handle beside her and looked towards Su Yao with lightning-like eyes, veins popping out on her forehead, and there was suspicion, disbelief and a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.
