Chapter 009: Coercion
"Then I'll wait for my husband's good news. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Although Su Shi said this, his face did not reduce the color of mockery.
"If you rest earlier, I will definitely find out about this matter as soon as possible, so that you will not be insulted in vain." After Chu Kuo hurriedly finished speaking, he staggered up, almost hit the circle chair on the side, and fled out of the main courtyard.
Su Shi stared at the man's majestic back hidden in the night, and smiled bitterly.
That's the person she has loved for many years!
She watched him go farther and farther, but overnight, the two of them were like mountains and rivers apart, and they could never go back to the past.
"Mother? I'll sleep with you. Just as he was spontaneously stunned, Chu Yuning's voice sounded on its own side.
Oh, yes! Although she has no husband, she still has a daughter.
It is for her daughter that she also cheers up, becomes strong, and lives well!
This night, the mother and daughter hugged each other and slept well.
On the second day, Chu Yuning was bedridden to recuperate, and Su summoned the steward in the shop in the morning and instructed many matters.
He summoned two companions and assigned the matter to go down.
Then, together with the nurse Mama Liu, he counted the house deeds, land deeds, dowry lists and other things.
Chu Yuning woke up from the lunch break and called the nurse Tian's mother, "Mom, I haven't seen my mother for a long time, you go and see for me, what is my mother busy with." ”
The maiden mother-in-law who accompanied Su and Chu Yuning into Beijing were all killed, and Mama Liu and Mother Tian were spared because they went back to the house to clean up first.
Tian's mother has been a grandmother since she was a child, and she is extremely doted on her, and now she is in charge of her diet and daily life, and she does not fail to do what she asks.
"Howler! Hello girl, I'll take a look! So saying, he got up and went out.
After a while, Su Shi came over in person.
"But you're bored in bed? Do you want to move a soft couch to the courtyard, you go to the courtyard to lie down, and also look at the scenery in the courtyard? ”
Chu Yuning shook his head and reached out to hook Su's fingers, "I just want to kiss my mother, I want to see you." ”
From childhood to adulthood, Chu Yuning was pampered by the Chu Mansion, and her temperament was slightly arrogant and domineering, and she was rarely as clingy as she is now.
However, she looks as well-behaved and cute as a cat, and no one can resist it when she sees it.
Su Shi bent over, rubbed his cheek against her forehead, and smiled dotingly, "That mother is doing things in the courtyard, so you can watch from afar?" ”
Chu Yuning nodded and replied softly.
Su Shi tucked the thin quilt for Chu Yu and returned to the courtyard step by step.
She felt that she was becoming more and more inseparable from this daughter.
At a glance, Chu Yuning was looking at her with admiration and attachment in her eyes.
"I've also saved some silver taels over the years." Su Shi turned back with a smile, took the abacus, and worked out the surplus of these years with the nurse, "It may not be a problem to feed the family by relying on those livelihoods in the shop." It's just that Yu Ning ......"
Su Shi said this, and his voice was lowered.
She has thought very well in the past two days that she and Chu Kuo will probably not be able to become husband and wife.
But after the two of them leave, if Chu Yuning follows her, she will lose her identity as a lady of the official family, even if she can keep her food and clothing worry-free, in another four or five years, after she grows to the age of twelve or thirteen, she will start to prepare for marriage.
As soon as Su Shi thought of this concern, he felt that it was better for Chu Yuning to stay in the Chu Mansion.
After all, Chu Kuo is responsible for the position of imperial history, and the imperial history is noble and noble, and it is held by an upright person.
Chu Yuning stayed in Chu Mansion, and she was the eldest daughter of the serious Imperial History Mansion.
Even if her reputation as a mother is hindered, as long as she leaves far away, after a few years, the people in Beijing will gradually forget about it, and she will be able to marry a family that is several times stronger than following her no matter what.
"Don't worry too much, ma'am. The old slave looked at it coldly, the girl can't do without you. Besides, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so why do you force yourself into a desperate situation? ”
Su lost her mother since she was a child, and Mama Liu is equivalent to half of her mother.
How could she not know the torment in Su's heart.
Now, it is not so much that Chu Yuning can't do without the Su family, but that the Su family has to rely on Chu Yuning's support to survive.
She regards the Su family as a daughter, and of course she is more partial to the Su family in her selfish heart.
"You have made a decision to give up Lady Chu's place. If even the girl leaves you, how will you live? Mama Liu's eyes were full of pity, and her voice was soft, but with the transparency of seeing all the personnel, "The master is young now, and he will marry again in the future." As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. In the future, the girl will be alone, and her life in the house will never be easy! ”
"Nurse, you let me think again." Su Shi's voice was slightly choked, and he said in a low voice.
Mama Liu sighed lightly and silently put away a box of things.
The master and servant were silent for a while, and suddenly a girl came to report that King Ning was visiting.
Su couldn't help but be stunned, Zhu Yuanxiao was really such a big lama and ran to Chu Mansion alone?
I don't know if this matter has been reported to Princess Yu Ning?
However, his status is noble, and he cannot be neglected.
Su Shi took his mother-in-law to greet him.
This incident also alarmed Mrs. Chu.
Zhu Yuanxiao stepped forward honestly, saluted Mrs. Chu, and then ran to Su Shi with a bird cage, "Where is Sister Yuning?" I bought a parrot that only chirps and gave it to her to relieve her boredom! ”
Su Shi was a little crying and laughing.
Although Chu Yuning is only eight years old now, there is a difference between men and women.
"She's in Xiufengyuan. On the vernal equinox, you take the son of the world with you. Su Shi, you stay, I have something to say. Old Lady Chu said with a pleasant face.
"The junior is leaving." Zhu Yuanxiao saluted Mrs. Chu and Su respectively, and then was led by the girl and left happily.
Su lowered his eyes, "I don't know what advice the old lady has?" ”
"Go down, all of you." Old Lady Chu waved her hand.
The two of them are now in the flower hall where they are entertaining, and the sight of the surroundings is broad, and the old lady Chu looked at Zhu Yuanxiao's departing back, and asked faintly, "You must hate me in your heart, right?" ”
Su Shi said lightly: "Don't dare." ”
"All this I did was just for the future of Kuo'er and the future of Chu Mansion. Even if someone pokes my backbone behind my back and scolds me for being vicious, I admit it because I am a mother. ”
Old Lady Chu stared at Su Shi directly, and her voice suddenly became sharp: "Then Su Shi, what about you?" As Kuo'er's wife and Yu Ning's mother, you are bent on making a living, but have you ever thought about them! ”
"I ......"
Su Shi opened his mouth to defend himself, but was interrupted irritably by Old Lady Chu.
"King Ning's son, this child has a good appearance, a good temperament, and a noble birth. Now it is obvious that he is interested in our Yu Ning. What will happen in the future is not impossible. But have you ever thought that Ning Wangfu would accept a woman whose biological mother's reputation is hindered as the princess? I'm afraid that even a concubine, they won't consider it! ”
"That child treats you as his life, and protects you even if he hurts himself. In the future, all the girls around her of her age shy away from her; She attended the feast and was secretly pointed at; She hit a wall everywhere in her marriage, and she can't marry her favorite Lang Jun, will she regret everything she did today? Do they hold a grudge against you? Would you rather die in a barren mountain than live as shamelessly as you do today? ”
Old Lady Chu's words were like sharp knives, piercing deep into Su's heart, making her stiff, her hands and feet cold, her fingertips trembling slightly, and it was difficult to breathe.
"I ......," she said, her mouth open, her voice hoarse, but unable to utter a word of rebuttal.
"Long pain is better than short pain." Old Lady Chu saw the opportunity and inserted the last knife into Su's heart, "Instead of your mother and daughter hating each other in the future, resenting each other, and complaining about each other, it is better for you to leave with her deepest thoughts now." In the future, whenever she remembers you, she will only remember your goodness, and your love for her will not be anything bad. ”
"Think about it!" Old Lady Chu took out a paper bag from her sleeve, threw it on a few cases on the side, glanced at Su, and got up and left.
