Chapter 254: The Unexpected Truth

As soon as she entered the teahouse, Mrs. Chu asked for a secluded room. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

A secluded room, as the name suggests, is a quiet private room.

That private room, in the backyard of the tea house, a separate small courtyard.

There, away from the hustle and bustle of the market, there is no bustle in the teahouse, and it is really leisurely and secluded.

As soon as she sat down, Mrs. Chu's chatterbox opened. She took Su's hand and kept asking.

Ask her why she left, ask her how she got married, ask her about her life over the years, and ask about having children.

"So, you're leaving to fulfill Su Lan? Do you know what a bad decision you made? Mrs. Chu was heartbroken.

"Big lady, she is my sister, she begs me, kneels down and begs me. Tell me, what else can I do? She's my only relative in the world. Su Shi sighed, his eyes were red, but he didn't cry.

"Su Xiu, why are you always so kind. Do you know that you were deceived by your sister Su Lan? At that time, Su Lan and Ben didn't have anything to do with the master. Sir, he's always been interested in you. Mrs. Chu patted Su Shi and said.

"Don't say it, big lady. The eldest master is a character like my father and brother, and I have never thought of him. Su Shi hurriedly stopped Mrs. Chu's words.

In fact, if Mrs. Chu tells everything about the past, I'm afraid Daddy Li will be upset.

"Then you can't let your sister and your nurse sell you?" Mrs. Chu said angrily.

"No, they didn't sell me." Su Shi hurriedly explained,

"Why didn't they sell you? If they don't sell you, will you marry into that ravine? Look at your current appearance, how can you still have a little bit of what you looked like when you were a girl? Even when the old lady died of illness, she didn't look like you. The more Mrs. Chu spoke, the more angry she became.

Hearing this, Su Shi glared. Really, she had nothing to refute. But there is one thing, she must declare: "Big lady, marrying the child's father, it is my own volition." I took a fancy to him, so I married him. ”

Mrs. Chu still didn't believe it: "You are a rich lady and you fall in love with a poor farmer in the mountains? Why don't I believe it at all? Tell me, how did you get forced by their family to do all the heavy lifting, ah? ”

Su Shi was even more helpless, so he had to continue to explain: "Big lady, in fact, when I was in the Su family, I had already started to do farm work. At that time, there had just been an incident at home. In order to buy medicine for my seriously ill father, and in order to buy some meat for my sister, my nurse and I went to the landlord's house every day to help. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Chu was even more angry: "In other words, your sister still hasn't done anything." But she told you to go to the landlord's house to do farm work? ”

Su Shi shook his hand: "No, it's not." My sister has a job. My sister took care of her father at home, and by the way, she did some needlework for silver. ”

Mrs. Chu was uncharacteristically calm at this time. She asked Su Shi with a mocking face: "Su Xiu, do you really think that Su Lan is at home and taking care of your father?" You are so naïve. When our lord came to your house, your sister was not at home. Your father was already out of breath at that time. The doctor said he died of thirst. ”

"Death of thirst? How can it be? Didn't my father die of a serious illness at that time? Su's voice soared a few tones.

Li Xiaonuan and Daddy Li listened on the side, and they also felt incredible.

"Humph! Our lord said that after confirming that your father was dead, they sent someone to call the village chief. Guess where your sister came from? It's the grove behind your old house. At that time, she ran out in a hurry, disheveled. Speaking of this, Mrs. Chu was angry again.

In this way, the conversation lasted from morning to afternoon, and Doctor Chu finished telling Su Lan, the sister of the Su family.

Su and Su Lan were twin sisters. When they were thirteen years old, their family was torn apart, and thousands of family fortunes were swept away.

Su's mother couldn't afford to fall ill and passed away soon. Because it was the Su family's mother's family who swept away the Su family's wealth.

After Su's mother died of illness, Su's father sold all his inheritance, repaid some debts, and moved his family back to his ancestral home to live a small life.

Since he had never been in contact with farming, Su's father was in his hometown and soon spent his little savings.

In desperation, he bought cattle and other things needed for farming, and went into battle in person. But because I have never done farm work. In the second year, Su's father was also tired.

In order to take medicine for the seriously ill father Su, Su followed the nurse to the local landlord's house to find work.

Originally, the landlord wanted to take Su Lan as a concubine. It's just that Su Lan doesn't look down on the landlord, she thinks the landlord is too old and ugly.

Su Lan's yearning is a scholar in the village. She always told Su that she would definitely be an official wife in the future.

Therefore, even if Su told the nurse that there was still a lack of an embroidery girl in the landlord's house, when he wanted Su Lan to go, Su Lan refused very righteously.

said that he stayed at home to take care of his sick father, but Su Lan was impatient to take care of the sick. In the beginning, she could also serve tea and pour water diligently.

Later, Su really didn't want to help Daddy Su to the thatched house frequently, so he tried to reduce the amount of water and food for Daddy Su.

Father Su also knew that he had caused trouble to his daughter, so he also consciously ate less and drank less.

Gradually, Daddy Su fainted due to malnutrition. In the end, of course, Daddy Su died of thirst on the hospital bed.

At that time, what was Su Lan doing?

According to Mrs. Chu, Su Lan was having a hot fight with a man in the village at that time, and she couldn't take care of Father Su's situation.

At that time, it was a busy farming season, and Su and the nurse came home very late every time. The result of leaving early and returning late was that they didn't know that Daddy Su was dying of hunger and thirst.

"No way, that's not true. My sister, how could she do that. That's her own father. Is there some misunderstanding in this? Su Shi didn't believe it.

"Believe it or not. That's what your sister admitted. It was because of what she said that incident that your sister made the old lady angry to death. When Mrs. Chu said this, she couldn't wait to peel off Su Lan's skin.

"So, sister, she lied to me, and even the eldest lord helped my sister lie to me, right?" Su Shi was a little devastated.

Everything she had heard today was not what she thought it to be. Such an impact made her at a loss.

"The lord didn't intend to hide it from you. It's just that at that time, it was impossible for you and you to trust anyone other than your relatives, so the eldest master didn't say it on the spot. After that, the eldest master also found an opportunity to test you, but you relied too much on Su Lan. The eldest lord didn't want to destroy the relationship between your sisters, so he didn't say it. ”

"Madame, take me back to see my sister. I'm going to ask in person, or I won't believe it. Su suddenly grabbed Mrs. Chu's shoulders and said excitedly.

What if it's a misunderstanding, what if my sister has a secret at the time?

"You can't go see her, you can't see her. Maybe you'll have the chance to see her again in the future, but not now. Mrs. Chu looked sad, but there was a ruthlessness in her eyes.

"Why? Are you locking her up? Su Shi asked puzzled.

"No, your sister is dead, and she has killed herself." Mrs. Chu replied calmly. (To be continued.) )
