Chapter 157: Just a Posture
Chapter 157: Just a Posture
When Chunyu came over and told them that Su Yuejie had only given them fifty taels of silver, Liu and Madam Zhou were dumbfounded.
How come only fifty taels were given? Where did the rest of the silver and the title deed go?
Chunyu knew nothing about anything and had no idea what was going on.
Liu thought about it and remembered that Su Yuejie asked her for money to buy a rare book. Could it be that he used the money given to his sister?
Thinking of this, Liu felt dizzy and felt that she had given birth to an injustice.
"Go and get the eldest young master." Liu asked someone to go find him.
Nanny Zhou went to make arrangements immediately, but when she reached the gate of the courtyard, she ran into Su Yunrou.
"Madame Zhou, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"Second Miss, I'm going to find the eldest young master." Madam Zhou replied.
Thinking of today's unexpected disaster, Nanny Zhou was also very angry. She was slapped in the face by a savage old woman from the market for no reason. It was simply outrageous. She would go back and settle the score with that old woman again.
"No need to go, Madam Zhou, please come back." Su Yunrou said with a gentle smile.
On the way here, she already knew what had happened, so why bother involving her eldest brother now? Even if he had done something, there was no rush to punish him now.
Upon hearing this, Nanny Zhou had no choice but to follow Su Yunrou back to Liu's room, waiting to hear what the eldest lady had to say.
"Mom, don't look for big brother now. Since big sister is back, you should take good care of her first. Otherwise, big brother will be involved and his reputation will be tarnished."
When Su Yunrou saw Liu, she spoke directly.
Liu just saw Nanny Zhou coming back and was about to ask a question, but after hearing what Su Yunrou said, it made some sense to her.
Now that the house has been mortgaged and the money has been spent, I guess that guy has already got the only copy.
Forget it, he did this for the sake of studying, so let's put this matter aside for now. After Yingxue's matter is settled, I will deal with Yue Jie.
"Then I'll listen to you. Go and see your elder sister. She is blaming me now." When she said this, Liu felt heartbroken.
I was wholeheartedly doing this for her and wanted to arrange her future life, but she started blaming me as her mother. It felt like my heart was being torn out and it was unbearable pain.
"Mom, when people are sad, they will inevitably say some unpleasant things. Please don't take it to heart. I will go see my elder sister and ask her to apologize to you." Su Yunrou said.
Then he walked towards the wing room.
There was a faint smell of Chinese medicine in the room, which was the smell of ointment, but the smell of the ointment was also mixed with a faint smell of rot.
Su Yunrou was not quite used to it, but she was already at the door, and it would be rude not to go in, so she gritted her teeth and walked in.
In the house, Chunyu was applying ointment on Su Yingxue. As he was applying the ointment, blood was flowing out.
"Hello, Second Miss." Chunyu bowed.
"You continue working, I want to talk to big sister for a while." Su Yunrou looked at Su Yingxue who was lying on the bed.
My elder sister used to be such a high-spirited person, but now she has become pale and listless, and this happened in just a few days.
"Big sister, you have suffered." Su Yunrou sighed.
But she was a little far away from the bed, standing just where she could see Su Yingxue's cheek.
She couldn't go any further or she would feel sick.
Su Yingxue didn't say anything, just closed her eyes. The wounds on her body were getting more and more painful, leaving her with no energy to deal with other people, not to mention that Su Yunrou only gave her a bland greeting.
"What happened today was just a coincidence. If it wasn't a coincidence, then someone must have been plotting this. Mother cares about you. If she didn't, she wouldn't have bought ten bottles of ointment at once. Each bottle of ointment costs two hundred taels of silver."
Su Yunrou said slowly that she had to let Su Yingxue know that Liu was really good to her.
Su Yingxue turned her head away, as if she didn't want to listen to Su Yunrou anymore.
What if I bought the ointment? All together, it was only two thousand taels of silver. The money and things I had sent back to my mother were never less than this amount.
After all, isn't that just using the money you gave yourself to buy medicine?
Now he is still pretending to be hypocritical and using the purchase of medicine as an excuse, bah!
When I got married, my mother gave me a lot of face, saying that the Song family was a noble family after all, so I had to bring more dowry to be decent. But a few years later, my mother kept pretending to be poor, asking for money here and there, and asked for the dowry back, including the dowry that my grandmother bought for me.
She kept saying that it was all for my own good and that she was keeping it for me. Now I understand that mother was so partial to Bali that she only thought about her good son Yunrou and Yuejie.
Besides, if they were really good to her, how could they be plotted against? She was an injured person, being thrown around like this, and her injuries had already worsened. Is this what Su Yunrou meant by being good to her? Haha!
And her good brother only sent fifty taels of silver, and he was willing to give it to her? She had given him a lot of money and things in the past, but he was really like an ungrateful wolf!
Su Yingxue felt very cold in her heart, but she knew that it was useless to blame anyone now. The only way for her to do this was to take good care of her body.
"Sister, I know what mother means, but I'm very tired now. Let's talk about it another day." Su Yingxue's voice came faintly.
"Okay, big sister, have a good rest. I'm going out." After hearing this, Su Yunrou immediately left the room.
After he got outside, he let out a long breath.
Then he went to see Liu again and naturally comforted her.
Su Qingwan was very happy after returning to Helin Courtyard. Now she just had to wait for the rumors to spread. She didn't know if her uncle would be able to sit still after knowing that she had once again spread such a romantic affair.
The second house naturally also got the news. After hearing it, Xiao Kang wanted to laugh out loud, but laughing would involve her wound, so she could only smile slowly, which looked a little awkward.
"Liu deserves it! It's her fault for not listening to the Marquis and sending Su Yingxue to the family temple. Fortunately, the Marquis and the old lady turned a blind eye and wanted to give Su Yingxue a chance to live. But now Su Yingxue is regarded as a secret prostitute. Let's see how she can live on." Xiaokang was in high spirits.
Aunt Ji also echoed: "That's right, I heard that she was dragged out of the bed and thrown out, and there were many men watching! I don't know if she saw anything she shouldn't have seen, it was really embarrassing."
"You lowly bastard! Please don't let this matter get involved in our mansion again, lest it tarnish Li Han's reputation." Xiao Kang cursed, feeling a little worried.
"It shouldn't happen. Those people just think that the eldest lady is a man's concubine. No one would try to get close to the Marquis's Mansion." Nanny Ji said.
After hearing this, Xiaokang finally felt relieved.
Old Kang also knew about this and simply called Liu a waste.
Fortunately, none of those people knew Su Yingxue, otherwise the matter would have been implicated in the Marquis Chengping's Mansion. Her people should have taken Su Yingxue directly to the ancestral temple earlier. If she had gone there, so many things would not have happened.
It's just that it's too late to say anything now.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day. Liu got up and was about to go to Rong'an Hall to pay her respects to the old lady. When she reached the gate of Tinglan Courtyard, she saw Su Zhiyi coming back quickly.
