Chapter 4: The Broken and Wealthy Su Family (2)

Su Wanyu thought about it and decided to ask Mrs. Su, but just as she wanted to speak, she was stopped by Mrs. Su waving her hand. With an almost inaudible sigh, Mrs. Su said:

"Wanyu, your body is very good, and the big stone in my heart has fallen."

Mrs. Su's concern was beyond words. The heart of the fist made Su Wanyu feel a little moved. She saw that Mrs. Su's face was white and yellow, so she said, "Mother, you also have to take care of your body." ”

"Hey, my body knows it, and that's it." Mrs. Su said: "As long as you two sisters are good, your mother is fine." ”

"Mother, then you have to take care of your two sisters and father." Su Wanyu said.

Mrs. Su paused for a moment and said, "Your father doesn't know what's going on, there is no news of this time, I sent someone to inquire, and there is no news at all." Alas. Mrs. Su sighed leisurely and said, "Why is the master so confused." ”

"Daddy won't." Su Chengze hurriedly said: "Daddy was wronged. ”

Su Wanyu saw that Su Chengze was sure, and she also felt a little puzzled in her heart, so she said: "The family doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, how can my father sell smuggled salt." ”

Su Chengze nodded firmly on the side.

Mrs. Su said: "I don't know, speaking of which, on weekdays, your father will not personally charge the goods, and there is a special person in charge of these jobs." Your father got up early that morning and said he was going to take the goods. I asked him if he had any expensive goods, and he said no. I asked him again if he was delivering to any adult. He told me not to ask more. He never came back from that day, and that morning was the last time I saw him. ”

Mrs. Su's face was worried, she paused for two breaths, and said, "I don't believe that the master would commit such a thing. I took some money and went to the yamen to ask, but I said that salt was found in the batch of goods that the master had taken. Later, I asked the shopkeeper in the store what was special about the batch of goods, which was worth the old man and his son to pledge. The shopkeeper replied to me that the goods were just a batch of ordinary materials from our fabric store, nothing special.

But just when there was a big bag of salt in this ordinary fabric, when the old man was escorting the goods out of the west gate of the city, he was found out by the guards of the soldiers and horses of the four cities of Yizhou.

Coincidentally, all the guards at the city gate were changed that day. On weekdays, our Su family has a lot of goods in and out of the city gate, and the original guards are somewhat familiar, and those sub-guards also know the logo of the Su family, and they generally don't check it to death. On that day, the guards at the city gate were all changed, and the inspection was particularly tight. And so he was caught. Alas, how could this be, mother, mother still can't believe it, why didn't he come back like this, master.

Su Wanyu said: "Mother, will there be another hidden story here?" ”

Su Chengze grabbed Mrs. Su's futon tightly.

Mrs. Su shook her head lightly and said, "I don't know, the people from the yamen only said that the evidence was conclusive, and the case was closed immediately." didn't let me see him, and I didn't hear from him. What should the mother do, what should the Su family do. Alas"

Su Wanyu saw that Mrs. Su looked very sad, and hurriedly said, "It's useless to think about these things now. Let's live the current life first. ”

Mrs. Su said, "Yes." You're all young. Mother now just asks you to be safe and happy. ”

Su Wanyu saw that Mrs. Su was in a bad mood, so she no longer mentioned the matter of Master Su, and talked with Mrs. Su for a while. Su Chengze was also very eye-catching, and did not mention the matter of Master Su again, as for whether he really let it go, only he himself knew.

She has the means of communication in her previous life, and she is moved by Mrs. Su, and Su Chengze is very well-behaved. In the company of her children, Mrs. Su finally showed a smile.

In the main house, Su Wanyu and Su Chengze stayed for dinner. They had dinner in the main house. After the meal, Mrs. Su's face was obviously tired, Mrs. Su said a lot of words one day today, and she was exhausted until this moment, so Su Wanyu and Su Chengze went back to the house separately.

As soon as he returned to his small courtyard, Chun Tao greeted him. Su Wanyu entered the house, sat on a chair, took a sip of the tea handed by Chun Tao, and thought in her heart.

Master Su's lawsuit seems to be ironclad, but there are too many coincidences.

A batch of ordinary fabrics was personally escorted by the owner's hometown; On the day when it was found that the shipment contained illicit salt, the guards at the city gate happened to be all changed; The new gate guards are particularly tight. Judging from the attitudes of Su Chengze and Mrs. Su, they didn't believe that Master Su would commit illegal salt. Su Wanyu felt that this lawsuit looked a little strange no matter how she thought about it, but Mrs. Su obviously didn't know more.

Su Wanyu thought for a while, she had no clue, she felt that Master Su's lawsuit was very unusual, but she couldn't think of a reason, so she didn't think about Master Su's lawsuit anymore, or think about the situation she was facing now.

She remembered that Mrs. Su handed over the housekeeping to Aunt Lin during the day, and she always felt a little confused, so she wanted to ask about the situation at Chun Tao's house.

"Spring peach." Su Wanyu raised her head and called, but saw Chun Tao looking at her worriedly.

Seeing Su Wanyu calling her, Chun Tao seemed to be relieved and said, "Yes, Miss." ”

"How's the family doing these days? But my mother is still taking care of the housework? Su Wanyu said.

"Logically, yes. It's just that my wife has been very sick these days, and she hasn't gotten any better after taking medicine, so she doesn't have much energy to take care of housework, so she asked Aunt Lin to help. "Spring Peach Road.

"I went all the way to my mother's house today, and I saw that the house was very deserted, and there were few people. The fallen leaves on the trail were also not cleaned. It's early summer, and there should be no fallen leaves, but the fallen leaves on the ground are three by two, and no one has to clean them for several days. What's going on in this house? Su Wanyu said. In the memory of the original owner, there were groups of servants of the Su family, and there were nearly ten people in total. Today, Su Wanyu saw that her home was deserted, and she didn't even sweep the ground.

Chun Tao glanced at Su Wanyu, as if she wanted to say something.

"How's it going, let's just say it." Su Wanyu looked at Chun Tao.

Chun Tao looked at Su Wanyu and felt that her young lady was different from the past, not like a delicate girl, but with more majesty. She was Su Wanyu's personal maid, and she was very heartfelt to Su Wanyu. Now she didn't dare to hide anything, she said: "Miss, something happened to the master, the wife was bedridden again, and the maids and maids in the family were as if they had no backbone, and their hearts were scattered. ”

Chun Tao pinched the corner of her clothes, and then said: "Many people say that when they are on an errand in the Su family, they have no future and are unlucky to suffer, so they all go their separate ways. ”

"Didn't my mother stop it?" Su Wanyu said.

"Those sons were hired to pack up their baggage overnight and left, and some even stole the belongings of the house; and sold himself to the Su family, and after finding a reason, he begged his wife and wanted to leave. "Spring Peach Road.

"Mother will allow it, right?" Su Wanyu said.

"My wife was already generous and gentle to people, but now that she is sick, she has no spirit to control her subordinates, so she has let go of the deed of sale." Chun Tao said, biting her lip. As if he had made up his mind, he said:

"Zhu's mother said that the children and grandchildren at home should be taken care of, and she also left."

This Mother Zhu was originally Mrs. Su's dowry maid, but because she won Mrs. Su's trust, she was sent to the yard of her eldest daughter Su Wanyu to be a housekeeper mother. The original owner is very close to her, and she is filial piety as half an elder. Su Wanyu has the memory of the original owner, and she also feels cold at this time.

Seeing that Su Wanyu didn't speak, Chun Tao thought she was sad, so she stood quietly aside and didn't speak.
