Chapter 35

When He'er returned to her room that night, she told her mother-in-law, Chen's mother, what she had heard with her own ears

"Mother, my daughter doesn't want to marry 、、、、" He'er's eyes were red from crying, and Chen's mother was surprised when she heard the news at first

"How come, the old lady has always loved you, how could she promise you to Young Master Su." Chen's mother couldn't believe it, she had never thought that Su Hong was not a good destination for her daughter, although Su Hong is now powerful and a rich son, and his family is rich, but he is merry by nature, narrow-minded, short-sighted, and definitely not a good match for his daughter, it is better to let He'er marry an honest and responsible seller than to marry this romantic Young Master Su.

"He'er, are you sure you heard it right, it was really the old lady who said it herself?" Mother Chen asked, holding He'er's hand.

He'er looked at Chen's mother's concerned appearance, and her heart was even more aggrieved, she nodded with a sob, and choked up and told Chen's mother that the old lady specially asked her to call Su Hong today, and Su Hong also teased her.

Chen's mother's face was slightly gloomy

"He'er don't worry, my mother will go and beg the old lady." As she spoke, Mother Chen hurriedly put on a thicker cotton robe and hurried to Mrs. Su's room.

"Has the old lady slept?" Chen's mother cautiously asked the other mother-in-law who was still waiting in front of the door.

The mother-in-law shook her head

"The old lady doesn't know why today, and she is still copying Buddhist scriptures." The mother-in-law whispered.

Mother Chen pursed her lips slightly, she knew why the old lady was still copying Buddhist scriptures, which was also her own sin. Chen's mother looked at her mother-in-law

"When you go and report it, you will say that I have something to ask to see the old lady." Mother Chen's face was slightly eager, and her mother-in-law also wanted to slap Mother Chen, after all, Mother Chen was the most trusted and valued slave of the old lady.

The mother-in-law smiled and nodded, opened the curtain and walked in, but after a moment she walked out with a smile on her face

"How?" Chen's mother asked eagerly.

The mother-in-law didn't know why Mother Chen was so anxious, but she smiled

"The old lady let you in, look at you in a hurry, it's not that something big has happened."

Chen's mother didn't say anything more, opened the bead curtain and walked in with a slight bow.

"The slave has seen the old lady."

"What's wrong?" The old lady never looked up, but just turned the Buddhist beads one by one in one hand, and carefully copied the Buddhist scriptures with a pen in the other.

"Old lady, the slave and maid have something to ask for, and I hope the old lady can agree." Mother Chen calmed her emotions and looked at Mrs. Su and said respectfully.

The old lady never looked up, still copying her Buddhist scriptures

"Say something."

Mother Chen looked at the old lady and didn't even raise her head, if she had done it in the past, she wouldn't have bothered the old lady to copy the Buddhist scriptures, but this time, she had to say that if the old lady announced this matter, then the old lady changed her mind and agreed not to let He'er marry Young Master Su, then He'er would not dare to marry.

"Old lady, the slave maid asks the old lady to allow He'er and Zhu San'er to marry." Chen's mother said that Zhu San'er grew up under her watch, although it is only a nursing home, but he is loyal and honest, and his family background is innocent, so he will be a good destination for He'er.

Mrs. Su twisted the hand of the Buddha beads for a moment, the ink pen in her hand also stopped, raised her head, and looked at Mother Chen, who was bowing her head, and a gleam flashed in the old lady's eyes

"Why did you suddenly remember to make a marriage contract for He'er, these three watches in the middle of the night, I thought you had something, but it turned out to be for this." A smile slowly rose on the old lady's face, as kind and kind as ever.

Mother Chen saw such an old lady, her heart trembled slightly, she had followed the old lady for so many years, and naturally knew what kind of person the old lady was. She must have made the old lady suspicious when she said this directly, but she could only say it stubbornly, she couldn't let her only daughter fall into the fire pit.

"Old lady, it's all the slave's fault, it's the slave's maid's lax discipline." Chen's mother pounced and knelt on the ground as she spoke.

The old lady looked at Mother Chen, who was suddenly kneeling on the ground, frowned slightly, and slightly signaled to the little girl ring who was waiting around, and the little girl ring all retreated.

"What's wrong, what's wrong with He'er?" The old lady seemed to be concerned.

Chen's mother knelt on the ground, her voice choked

"Ask the old lady to punish, He'er, she, has secretly made a private agreement with Zhu San'er for life, and her reputation is ruined, but these are all the old slave's fault, it is the old slave's lack of strictness that made her make such a big mistake, please ask the old lady to punish the old slave, and fulfill He'er and Zhu San'er, otherwise, the old slave only has such a daughter, if something happens to her, how can the old slave live in the future," Chen's mother pleaded bitterly with tears in her eyes, and Mrs. Su frowned fiercely when she heard Chen's mother's words, and her face became serious.

She originally planned to marry He'er to Su Hong as a concubine, He'er was grown up by her, and her conduct was gentle, but she didn't expect to do such an immoral thing, so this kind of person can't be Hong'er's concubine.

"Get up." Old Lady Su's voice was no longer as gentle as Fang Cai, but it was not too harsh.

"The old slave doesn't dare, the old slave is at fault, and I hope the old lady will punish him." Chen's mother was still on her knees.

"You have followed me for so many years, how can I punish you, get up, I already know about He'er's affairs, I will deal with it." The old lady's attitude softened, and she looked at Mother Chen and said.

Mother Chen finally raised her face and got up when she heard the old lady say this

"Thank you to the old lady for saving He'er, although He'er made a mistake, but the old slave only has this one life, the old lady can fulfill her and Zhu San'er, the old slave swears, in the future, he will definitely go to the soup for the old lady." Chen's mother said gratefully.

The old lady looked at Chen's mother's sworn appearance, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth slightly hooked up a smile

"Okay, it's late at night, you can go back and rest early, and you will have to serve me tomorrow." The old lady also slowly stood up.

Chen's mother hurriedly ran to the old lady's side and supported the old lady

"It's still the old slave waiting for you to rest, you, it's so cold this day and you are still copying Buddhist scriptures, but you can be careful that your body bones are frozen." Mother Chen helped the old lady to get up and slowly walked to the inner room.

The old lady just smiled

"My body is fine, there are still so many things to deal with in this house, I just can't think of the sick for a few days to rest, I can't worry about the big and small in this house." The old lady sighed heavily, but she had other thoughts in her heart.

It wasn't until the old lady fell asleep that Chen's mother came out of the nursing home, but she was very happy in her heart, fortunately, she was not recognized by the old lady, otherwise it was not only He'er, it was her, and I am afraid that the old lady would not be able to tolerate it anymore.

Chen's mother hurriedly went to the front yard, Zhu San'er is a nurse and lives outside the house, she can't wait until tomorrow to discuss with Zhu San'er, so now, she has to leave the house.

Mother Chen was in a hurry, and her heart was also anxious, but she didn't notice that a pair of sharp eyes behind her were following her closely.
