Chapter 38: The Birthday Feast
Because of the rumors outside, and the fact that the regent is about to go to Jiangnan in the near future, even if he succeeds in persuading Gu Wanning to give way, people will only say that the Su family is not kind.
It was Mrs. Su who eliminated the idea of going to the Gu family to persuade Gu Wanning.
Fortunately, the Gu family did not come to the door to ask for an explanation.
The Su family was surprisingly calm.
Ten days passed in a flash.
On the day of Mrs. Su's birthday, the daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law of the Su family came over early to say hello to Mrs. Su, but Gu Wanning did not arrive.
Mrs. Su knew that Gu Wanning was annoyed with her.
If it was put in the past, it would be okay, but now that the guests are coming to the door, if there are rumors of discord between the Su family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, wouldn't it be true that the Su family likes to cling to and treat their daughter-in-law harshly.
Mrs. Su said to Su Saburo: "Today's big day, you coax A-Ning over, between the family, where can there be no stumbles, but the past is over." ”
Su Saburo understood, and went down like this.
Standing in front of Gu Wanning's door again, Su Saburo was like the next day.
Thinking that it was very likely that Gu Wanning would get the same cold eyes as before, Su Sanlang was even a little apprehensive.
He finally stepped in, with a deliberate smile on his face.
"A-Ning, today is my mother's birthday, won't you go with me to congratulate my mother on her birthday?"
There are lights everywhere in the house, but the Wutong Garden is deserted.
Gu Wanning was dressed as usual, and when she raised her eyes, she was really as cold as Su Saburo expected, and there was a hint of impatience in her eyes.
"The Su family wants to kick out my daughter-in-law, why should I do some superficial work, it's not worth it." Gu Wanning glanced at him lazily, "You know, I'm not a person who is easy to bluff, so don't talk about those nonsense to me." ”
Su Saburo didn't care, and took a step forward and said: "Since I left that day, I also felt that it was unfair to you to do this, so I discussed it with my mother, you are a wife, and this will never change." ”
"Even if Princess Jin's righteous sister wants to enter the mansion in the future, she will respect you as the elder."
"So, at this time, don't play tricks with me."
"Mother's birthday, you don't show up for no reason, I'm afraid that people outside will talk about your unfilial piety, and I'm also for your good."
Gu Wanning suddenly smiled, "You look hypocritical as usual, but I don't care about what outsiders say, you want to coax me to play a loving look with you, so as to save your rotten reputation, and then kick me away, I tell you, it's impossible." ”
She said it clearly, without any scruples.
This kind of Gu Wanning made Su Saburo feel a sense of crisis.
She is no longer as gentle and kind as she used to be, and she is very well controlled.
Although Gu Wanning, who was out of his control, was charming, it was more dangerous.
"I can't do anything if you think like that, so let's see how I do it." Su Saburo let out a long sigh, as if he was very helpless.
He can understand that it is difficult for Gu Wanning to play a loving couple with him.
At the same time, he also made up his mind that if she was unkind, he could only be unjust.
After making up his mind, Su Saburo's pace was extremely relaxed, and when he saw Pei Yu guarding the outer courtyard when he left, he made a look at him.
Everything is ready.
Su Saburo went to return to Mrs. Su, and Mrs. Su frowned, both ashamed of being disobeyed and deeply puzzled.
She watched Gu Wanning grow up and knew that this daughter-in-law had a relatively soft temperament.
But now Gu Wanning's behavior is very inconsistent with her temperament, what is the problem?
When Mrs. Su was distracted, Su Saburo said: "My son has prepared everything, and asked my mother to send someone over to transfer all the people in Wutong Garden." ”
This is also very simple, after all, this is the Su family.
Su Yin and Jin were confused, not understanding what they were talking about.
I just looked at Mrs. Su and said to Mama Xu beside her: "And send an old servant with some qualifications to borrow some people from Wutong Garden, and say that there are not enough people outside, if she doesn't give it, she will come hard." ”
I couldn't figure out why Gu Wanning's change was, so I didn't want to.
After all, this daughter-in-law has now become an outcast.
Mama Xu brought a few rough mothers-in-law over.
Jin and Mrs. Su wanted to get closer, so they asked, "Auntie, what is this going to do?" ”
"It's just a little thing." Mrs. Su said.
It didn't take long for the guests to come one after another.
Su Yin's and Kim's solicit guests.
Naturally, people found that the third daughter-in-law of the Su family did not attend.
Some good people didn't dare to ask Mrs. Su, so they asked Su Yin's family: "What about the third young lady of your family." ”
Su Yinshi casually said: "The third brother and sister are not feeling well, so they won't come out to meet guests." ”
The people around him laughed meaningfully, but they were afraid that it was false that they were uncomfortable, and it was true that the Su family had infighting.
It seems that the rumors out there are true.
Especially after everyone arrived, except for the Gu family, no one came without saying anything, and they didn't send anyone to give gifts, it was even more obvious.
Everyone believed the rumors.
The third son of the Su family, Yan Fu, was not shallow, and hooked up with the righteous sister of King Jin and wanted to demote the concubine to his wife.
Most of the women present couldn't help but sympathize with Gu Wanning.
After all, Gu Wanning didn't do anything wrong, and she even married into the Su family with a rich dowry to save the Su family from fire and water.
If the Su family does this, it is too much of a thing.
is also more curious, what kind of person is the legendary sister of King Jin, why did she fall in love with Su Jiasanlang, who already has a wife?
The whole banquet was surging, and people didn't dare to talk about it in front of Mrs. Su, but when they got together in private, they would always talk about it.
When it was passed to Mrs. Su, Mrs. Su directly turned cold.
At this time, Mama Xu rushed over and nodded to Mrs. Su, and Mrs. Su's face was a little pale.
Right now, as long as Gu Wanning makes a mistake, he can save the reputation of the Su family.
Mrs. Su deliberately said to Mama Xu in front of several ladies: "Recently, Saburo's daughter-in-law has not been in good health, and I am always worried in my heart, you might as well take a look on my behalf." ”
Mama Xu responded, and quickly went and returned, and looked embarrassed, "Madam, the old slave just went to the Wutong Garden, but saw that the gate of the Wutong Garden was closed, and the old slave couldn't knock on the door no matter how he knocked." ”
Mrs. Su's face showed concern, "What's going on, San Lang's daughter-in-law won't have any surprises." ”
After that, he said to several ladies regardless of his identity: "I'm really worried in my heart, I have to go and see it in person to rest assured." ”
People were surprised by Mrs. Su's extraordinary relationship with her daughter-in-law, and immediately said, "We will also go with the third young lady." ”
In this way, a group of people followed to the Wutong Garden.
But it is not as closed as Mama Xu said.
People suddenly felt suspicious in their hearts.
Mrs. Su also looked at Mama Xu unhappily, annoyed that Mama Xu was not thoughtful.
Mama Xu hurriedly said: "When the old slave came, the door was clearly closed, the old slave was surprised by the blue sky and the daylight, and the third young lady didn't know what to do, and she couldn't even open the door, and now she should have finished her work." ”
There are many omissions in the words.
But Mrs. Su didn't say anything, and even if others had doubts, they could only think about it in their hearts.
Mrs. Su didn't mean it at all, she walked straight to the Wutong Garden, and opened the main house where Gu Wanning lived with a "bang".
