Chapter Forty-Nine: The Storm Rises
"Fifth sister, don't be anxious, just say something slowly." There seemed to be a calming power in Su Wanqiu's voice, and she said softly and comfortingly.
But Su Yunwan shook her head, her voice was still a little choked: "I don't know what the eldest lady wants my mother to do, but the eldest lady will never let my mother get pregnant for no reason......
The eldest lady is good to Aunt Xie on the surface, but according to her temperament, how can she tolerate Aunt Xie like this.
"Don't worry, now that Aunt Xie is pregnant, the eldest lady naturally doesn't dare to do anything to her aunt, otherwise her father will never let her go." Su Wanqiu said gently.
Now Su Yu handed over Aunt Xie's diet and daily life to the eldest lady, although the original intention was for Aunt Xie's good, but in the end, the eldest lady had a vicious mind, and it was impossible to say what she would do.
"Third sister, can you promise me one thing?" Su Yunwan suddenly reached out and grabbed Su Wanqiu's sleeve, almost pleading.
"What?" Su Wanqiu asked.
"I know that there is a cook lady next to the third sister, it seems that the eldest brother brought it back from Jiangdu, can you let her take care of my mother for a while." Su Yunwan said, with tears in her eyes, "Otherwise, how can I feel at ease if someone else takes care of my mother's diet." ”
What Su Yunwan said was the moon lady in Su Wanqiu's yard.
Su Wanqiu was stunned at first, then raised her eyebrows, and shook her head very categorically in refusal: "No." ”
It was probably Su Wanqiu's refusal that surprised Su Yunwan a little, but then begged again: "Third sister, now Yunwan can only ask for you......
"Now that the eldest lady takes care of Aunt Xie's diet, she may not dare to do anything to Aunt Xie, if something happens to Aunt Xie, my father will definitely pursue the eldest lady, but if Yueniang is asked to take care of Aunt Xie, wouldn't it be a chance for the eldest lady in vain?" Su Wanqiu explained softly, "When the time comes, no matter what the aunt is, the eldest lady can all be pushed on Yueniang." ”
The expression on Su Yunwan's face froze a little, as if she didn't know what to say next, she just looked at Su Wanqiu in a daze, and Su Wanqiu sighed softly when she saw this.
"I know you care about your aunt, but now that your aunt is pregnant, the eldest lady doesn't dare to choose against her father at this point in time." Su Wanqiu said with a pleasant face, "You can relax that no matter what, my father will definitely uphold justice." ”
Su Yunwan had no choice but to hang her head deeply and said, "Yes, Yunwan knows." ”
Su Wanqiu also knew that Su Yunwan was in a low mood now, and she couldn't listen to anything she said, so she had to comfort her softly before coming out of the house.
After returning to Moxiangyuan with Chu Yu and Fu Chun, as soon as they entered the house, they heard Fu Chun say: "Miss, the slave always feels that something is wrong. ”
Fu Chun is smart and his mind is extraordinarily transparent, of course Su Wanqiu is willing to listen to what she said, so she nodded and said, "If you have any ideas, just say it." ”
"Just now, the slave maid and the early rain thrush were in the courtyard of the fifth lady, and they had nothing to do, so the slave asked the thrush, what does the fifth lady like to do on weekdays? Thrush said that Miss Fifth likes to read medical books on weekdays and is very familiar with all kinds of prescriptions. Fu Chun smiled and said, "Not only that, but Fifth Miss will also develop various prescriptions by herself on weekdays. ”
Chu Yu couldn't help but be a little confused about what Fuchun meant, frowned slightly, and asked, "What's wrong with this?" ”
"Fifth Miss, even the furnishings in the house are used by others, and which of the medicinal materials involved in those prescriptions is not valuable? Where did the fifth lady get all this silver? Fuchun smiled faintly.
"After all, she is also a young lady in the house, and it is not surprising that she has some money." Su Wanqiu shook her head instead, and said, "If there is really something wrong, it is impossible for the thrush to tell you this, but I am afraid that it will be too late to cover it up." ”
"What Miss said makes sense." Fuchun smiled disappreciatively.
How can an ordinary girl talk to her master like this, but Fuchun is a special case in the end, she is Mingyi's person after all, and she has been very helpful to her recently, so Su Wanqiu will not pursue it much, anyway, Fuchun will return to Mingyi's side in the future.
"Let's take a look at the movement of Xingfangyuan in the next few days, I guess there will definitely not be a safe life." Su Wanqiu Road.
The white horse passed through the gap, and soon it was the end of the month, and things were as Su Wanqiu expected, there was an accident in Xingfang Courtyard.
In the Moxiang Courtyard, the original begonia tree that was as delicate as fire has also passed the flowering period, the petals have withered and dusted, and the leaves have curled slightly.
A petal landed on the chessboard, and a white slender finger gently brushed the petal away, and then took a white piece and gently placed it on the chessboard.
"Spring is indifferent. The east wind at the bottom of the begonia flower is evil, and the human affection is not as thin as spring. Su Wanqiu's voice was soft, but it was a little sarcastic, "It's just that I think human affection is much cooler than spring affection." ”
Sitting opposite Su Wanqiu is Su Jin, as the only son of the Hou Mansion, he is naturally different from Miss Fuzhong, he has a lot of things to learn on weekdays, and he is not so leisurely, but today he is free and can play against Su Wanqiu.
Su Jin thought for a moment, raised his hand, and said, "Why didn't I know that your chess skills had improved so much?" A few months ago, my men were defeated, why are they so leaky today? ”
When Su Wanqiu heard this, her face was faint, but she couldn't help but think of many things in her heart, her chess skills have always been the most unbeatable, to say that there are four kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, her piano skills and calligraphy are even among the noble ladies in the capital, but only the chess skills are unfamiliar and refuse to be easily shown in front of others.
It's just that Ming Rong loves to play chess very much, there are many chess players in the Four Princes' Mansion, and after Su Wanqiu knew about it in his previous life, he also spent a lot of thought on it, but fortunately, there are not only many chess players and masters in the Four Princes' Mansion, but also many books, Su Wanqiu studied for a few months, and his chess skills have improved by leaps and bounds, although he is not as good as those who have been immersed in chess since he was a child, but he should not be underestimated.
"Big brother, you must know that you don't have three days, when you look at each other, if you underestimate me, you can be careful of ending up with a wrong person and losing all the games." Su Wanqiu said, and fell down again.
Su Jin raised his head in some surprise and said, "It's really my negligence, I lost this game." ”
Just look at the chessboard, the blacks and whites are staggered and entangled, as if the two armies are fighting against each other, but in the end, the whites are superior, and the sunspots are directly cut off, and there is no follow-up power, even if they are barely falling, they are just struggling, the general trend has gone, and they are powerless to return to the sky.
While the two were talking, Qingya in the courtyard hurriedly ran over and said, "Eldest son, third miss, the slave maid just heard that something happened in Xingfang Courtyard!" ”
