Chapter 173 Trapped in the Su Family

Su Yun's mother grabbed her arm with concern, "What are you doing here? Why are you running?"

Just then, Su Lanlan came out!

Upon seeing her, Su Yun's mother, Wen Rongya, the mistress of the third branch of the Su family, looked displeased.

This Su Lanlan isn't a member of the Su family, but she always acts without any manners because she's the daughter of the second wife!

"Auntie, my brother thought that Xiaoyun's age was similar to the guests' age, so he asked Xiaoyun to go and keep the guests company!"

"Is my aunt unwilling?"

Seeing Su Lanlan's arrogant demeanor, Wen Rongya was so angry that her stomach hurt, but she also truly felt sorry for her daughter!

"Lanlan, you know Xiaoyun's health isn't very good. These past few days, she's had her period."

You've seen how upset she was!

How about you go and talk to your brother this time, and ask him to go and keep the guests company?

Let Xiaoyun rest for a few days!

How about it? "

Su Lanlan glanced at her third aunt and said, feigning authority, "That won't do! Although my brother loves me, he has already given the order, and it's not something I can decide!"

Besides, they're all girls, and everyone gets their period.

I'm not feeling well either!

Should we send her to keep Zhou Ye company?

Is she crazy?

What kind of personality does Zhou have? If I offend her, she'll probably slap me! Besides, the two of them don't get along in Hongqi Village!

"you……"

Wen Rongya was furious, but she couldn't really do anything to Su Lanlan. She could only suppress her anger, take off the jade bracelet from her wrist, and place it in Su Lanlan's palm: "Lanlan, your third aunt knows you are a good child and also feels sorry for your younger sister!"

Why don't you give it a try?

Su Lanlan looked down at the bracelet and sneered inwardly.

That's it?

So stingy!

"I'm not going!"

After saying that, he left without looking back!

“Lanlan…Lanlan…you…”

"Don't waste time!" Su Lanlan said from the front!

Su Yun whispered, "Mom, it's okay! I'll go! Just don't let Brother Yunzhou know!"

My dad still…

Wen Rongya knew this, of course. Last time Yunzhou came back to settle scores, her husband had already been severely punished. If she angered him again this time...

It's terrifying to even think about!

But she was still worried about her daughter!

Su Yun's face was pale, but she said bravely, "Mom, it's okay, I've already taken painkillers!"

Maybe they don't like the way I look, or they think it's bad luck, so they let me out!

Wen Rongya felt a pang of heartache!

"I'm sorry, Xiaoyun, it's all my fault!"

Wen Rongya escorted Su Yun to the corridor entrance of Zhou Ye's room, and then she could no longer go in!

"Third Madam, please go back."

There were many guards. Wen Rongya bit her lip and said, "Go in. If... you really can't stand it, then come out!"

Mom is waiting for you here!

She knew she was doing something futile, but Su Yun was her daughter!

Su Yun nodded pitifully.

"Tap tap tap..."

Zhou Ye looked towards the doorway, which was then pushed open, and a young girl with a fearless expression walked in! She wasn't very tall, and her expression was timid, suggesting that she wasn't in good health!

"Miss Zhou, hello! I was sent by my brother to keep you company! I am Su Yun!"

Despite the pain, Su Yun quickly gave a brief introduction.

Zhou Ye hummed in response. Su Yun stood there for a while, but Zhou Ye stopped talking. Her stomach was cramping so badly that she couldn't stand any longer.

But she didn't dare to do anything else.

She wondered if the girl in front of her would be frightened if she suddenly fainted from the pain, and if her brother would blame her.

Thinking of this, her face paled even more.

Mustering her courage, she said, "Miss Zhou... I... may I squat down?"

Zhou Ye looked over in surprise. Su Yun's eyes were slightly red, her face was pale, and she was trembling all over, almost unable to stand.

So, I slowly got up and walked over!

Su Yun was startled when she saw Zhou Ye coming over.

this……

What are you doing here? Are you just looking for a fight because you don't like me?

She swallowed hard, her excitement growing, and her stomach aching more and more! Just as she felt her body grow cold and she was about to lose consciousness, a warm hand reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Su Yun was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was Miss Zhou who was taking her pulse.

Taking a pulse?

So, does Miss Zhou know medicine?

Su Yun felt Zhou Ye's warmth, and for a moment the pain seemed to lessen!

Such a pretty little girl, brought back by her brother and locked up, what did she do wrong? It shouldn't be like that, if she did something wrong, her brother wouldn't have brought her here.

This is my brother's favorite room. It has no windows, but it's his secret hideout! Every time he comes back, he rests here!

Is this girl the one your brother likes?

Yunzhou didn't live with his peers growing up, so he doesn't know them very well.

"You have such a severe case of cold constitution, why did we still send you here?" Zhou Ye frowned and said unhappily.

Su Yun thought that Zhou also disliked her!

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! My brother sent me, I...I'm sorry!"

Seeing the little girl so eager to apologize, Zhou Ye couldn't bring himself to be harsh.

"Come!"

Zhou Ye pulled Su Yun to the bedside: "Why don't you lie down and rest for a bit?"

"ah?"

Su Yun glanced at the bed; she dared not!

He took a few steps back, shaking his head: "No...no...this isn't my bed, and I'm..."

She's on her period, what if she gets it dirty?

Zhou Ye looked around the room and saw a chaise lounge next to the bed. Pointing to it, he said, "Then lie down there! If you're weak, don't come over. You might faint..."

He stopped halfway through his sentence!

Perhaps it was Su Yunzhou's order, and she dared not disobey?

never mind!

Su Yun couldn't stand it any longer. Seeing that Zhou seemed easy to get along with, she mustered up her courage and lay down. Only then did the dizziness subside a little.

Su Yun whispered, "Thank you!"

Zhou shook her head. She wanted to know about the Su family's situation, and now was a good opportunity!

However, we need to take it slowly!

Su Yunzhou will be very wary of me, so leaving on my own will probably be difficult.

Xie Jianshe will definitely come looking for me, so I must give him a clue.

Looking at Su Yun, who was lying in pain but dared not make a sound, Zhou Ye got up again.

"Miss Zhou..."

Su Yun saw her coming and remembered.

"No need to get up. I'm a doctor. It's fate that we met. I can't just watch you in pain!"

show me! "

Su Yun felt embarrassed: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble!"

He obediently stretched out his hand, and Zhou carefully took his pulse!

"Did you fall into the water when you were a child?"

"Hmm! You can... tell that too?"

"right!"

Su Yun's eyes were full of expectation and hope! Her health had never been very good; she was either sick with a cold or on her way to catch one.

Every time I get my period, it feels like I've died once!

Therefore, Dad disliked me and ignored me. Mom always took me to see doctors, but it was basically ineffective!

Either you have to keep taking medicine!

After taking his pulse, Zhou said to the person at the door, "Go and get me some paper and a pen!"

"yes!"

A moment later, paper and pen were brought over, and Zhou wrote down a prescription.

"Miss Zhou, what is this?"

"Go and have your husband take a look first. He said it's medicine for his sister, Su Yun! After you've asked, get the medicine ready—five days' worth for now!"

"yes!"

The guards had no say and dared not make the decision, and Zhou understood this, so he didn't want to make things difficult for them!

An hour later, the medicine was retrieved!

After checking the medicine, Zhou handed it to the guard: "Go and brew the medicine. Follow the normal brewing procedure. One dose should be taken twice!"

"yes!"

Su Yun leaned back on the soft couch, looking at Zhou Ye with gratitude on her face!

"Why don't you take a nap first?"

Zhou also said.

Su Yun gently shook her head: "No, my brother originally sent me here to keep you company! But my body is too weak!"

I've caused you trouble!

"It's alright!"

Zhou smiled slightly.

Su Yun was completely stunned: "Miss Zhou...you...you are so beautiful!"

Zhou smiled faintly: "You are beautiful too!"

"Are you Su Yunzhou's sister?"

Zhou also took the initiative to ask.

Su Yun nodded: "Yes, our Su family has three branches. Brother Yunzhou is the older brother of my second uncle's family!"

"Um!

Zhou nodded: "Since you're not feeling well, you shouldn't go out too much. You need to take care of your health."

Otherwise, it'll be even more troublesome later!

What she actually wanted to say was that Su Yun's body was very cold, extremely cold! To the point that it would affect her future fertility and even her lifespan.

Zhou didn't want to get involved, but they were all girls.

She couldn't bear to see this girl in so much pain in front of her!

Su Yun gave a wry smile and replied, "Thank you, I'll be careful!"

When Wen Rongya saw someone carrying medicinal herbs and brewing medicine, she stopped one of them and asked, "Why do you have medicine?"

What's wrong with the guest?

What she really wanted to know was whether her daughter was alright.

"The Miss Zhou that you brought back, sir, is skilled in medicine. She just took Miss Yun's pulse, and this is the medicine she is brewing for Miss Yun."

Wen Rongya was shocked!

this……

Is it really for Yun'er? What if the guest has ill intentions?

Will this be bad for Yun'er?

No, you can't drink it!

What to do? What to do?

They tried to go in and stop them, but were stopped: "Third Madam, please don't make things difficult for us!"

Wen Rongya was extremely anxious!

Thinking of something, she quickly ran back and, sure enough, saw her husband had returned! He was inside, about to take a shower.

"Lan Jiang, thank goodness you're back! Come with me!"

"What is it?"

Lan Jiang is Su Yunzhou's third uncle, and he has just returned from outside!

Wen Rongya said anxiously, "Yunzhou asked Yun'er to accompany the new guest! The new guest is a girl about the same age as Yun'er!"

As you know, Yun'er hasn't been feeling well these past few days. The people inside said that the guest knew medicine, took Yun'er's pulse, and prescribed medicine!

The medicine was now ready!

I was just about to take it in for Yun'er to drink!

Su Lanjiang paused for a moment, then said impatiently, "Isn't that a good thing? Who can change Yunzhou's decision?"

Who dares to change it?

Aren't you trying to ruin me?

Besides, they're a new customer. They already said it was medicine for Yun'er; would they possibly harm her?

Su Lanjiang's inaction infuriated Wen Rongya, causing her face to change drastically!

"Lan Jiang, please, I'm begging you."

Su Lanjiang sneered: "What are you asking for? You're just a sickly person, I don't know why you're in so much pain."

I want to bring Yue'er back, but you won't agree!

How pretentious!

Su Lanjiang's eyes reddened with anger: "No matter how bad Yun'er is, she's still my own daughter! Yue'er is the child you had with someone else outside of your marriage."

She's not my daughter, why should I support her?

"Then don't even think about getting any help with your daughter!"

Wen Rongya burst into tears, "Why are you forcing me?"

Helplessly, she ran to the end of the corridor, but the corridor seemed to be the distance between her and her daughter. Was this her daughter's fate?

A legitimate daughter of the emperor is constantly restricted and bullied!

Adopted daughter, illegitimate daughter...

Oh……

Su Yun looked at the medicine in the bowl, unsure whether to drink it, but the cramping in her stomach was becoming more and more obvious.

"This medicine needs to be taken according to the prescribed course of treatment. It also contains painkillers, so drinking it will be good for you!"

Su Yun thought about it for a moment. Why would a guest attack him?

That's enough, let's drink!

I mustered up my courage and gulped it down!

As soon as she finished drinking it, she felt a warm current flowing through her stomach, and little by little, the cramping pain in her stomach disappeared by a third.

That suffocating feeling, that despairing feeling, gradually faded away.

She has taken a lot of painkillers!

This is the most effective method!

So... is there still hope for her health?

Thank you!

Su Yun said gratefully!

"Um!"

Zhou Ye gave a faint reply.

Su Yun felt much better and was able to sit up a little and chat with Zhou Ye!

"When I came over just now, my mom was very worried about me! Can I...can I go to the hallway and tell my mom?"

Zhou nodded.

Children who have mothers are truly blessed!

She looked at Su Yun with envy, clutched her stomach, and ran out. When Wen Rongya saw her daughter, she was almost scared to death.

I've considered every single possibility!

"Yun'er, what happened to you? Why did you run away! Are you alright? Come on, let's go home with Mommy! Come on!"

No matter what Yunzhou says, I won't let you come!

Walk……"

Wen Rongya choked up as she spoke, almost bursting into tears.

Su Yun grabbed her arm and comforted her, "Mom, don't be like this, I'm fine! Look, doesn't my complexion look much better?"

Wen Rongya looked over and saw that her daughter, who was supposed to be in so much pain that she was about to fall asleep, was now standing and talking to her.

Even when they speak, they do so very loudly.

He exclaimed in surprise, "You...you..."

"Mom, Yunzhou's guest is really a doctor, and a very good one at that. She was able to tell that I fell into the water when I was a child just by taking my pulse, and she even kindly prescribed medicine for me!"

I took the medicine and felt much better immediately!

"Mom, I'm feeling much better! I even have energy now!"

Wen Rongya didn't know what to say, and regretted that she had thought so many bad things about the other person!

He really is a good person!

"Okay...that's good! Mom can rest assured now!"

Su Yun advised, "Mom, you should go back and rest first! I need to stay with Miss Zhou!"

"good!"

Su Yun returned to the house with a relaxed smile on her face.

Although my stomach still hurts, it's not unbearable anymore!

"Ms. Zhou, would you like to rest?"

Su Yun pursed her lips and looked at Zhou Ye, who couldn't sleep: "If you're tired, go to sleep first!"

Su Yun dared not, and pursed her lips, saying, "I'll stay with you!"

Zhou had no choice but to give up and lie down to sleep. Seeing this, Su Yun also turned off the light and lay down.

Zhou opened his eyes in the darkness... unable to fall asleep!

Su Yunzhou was afraid Zhou would leave, so he didn't even dare to give him a room with a window!

In the study...

An old man sat in a chair and looked at Su Yunzhou with a sigh: "Yunzhou, the power in the family has been transferred to your hands."

You can now be considered the person in charge of the household!

"Can your father be released now?"

Su Yunzhou stood there, his eyes not looking at the old man, it was hard to tell whether he was being respectful or disrespectful!

"Grandpa, you promised me long ago that you wouldn't get involved or interfere in my father's affairs! Why are you doing this now?"

The old man was none other than Su Tianshan, the former head of the Su family!

It was Su Yunzhou's grandfather!

Su Yunzhou had a miserable childhood, and the cause of all this was his father, so he would not let his father off easily!

Su Tianshan sighed and asked, "Who is the girl you brought back this time?"

"My future wife, the future matriarch of the Su family!"

Su Yunzhou said decisively!

"Then why have someone guard it?"

Su Tianshan inquired about the lifeline!

Su Yunzhou was silent for a moment before saying, "I will solve this problem! Please don't interfere, Grandpa!"

"Oh...you!"

Su Tianshan sighed and slowly stood up: "Yunzhou, what happened when you were a child was indeed your father's fault!"

Your mother's death was also his fault!

But you are father and son after all. Can you really kill him?

And that woman you brought back, she didn't want to be with you, did she?

How are you any different from your father in doing this?

"Of course they're different!"

Su Yunzhou said calmly.

“We have a foundation of affection! But my father’s treatment of my mother was one of plunder!”

Su Yunzhou's words sent chills down Su Tianshan's spine!

This child is even more obsessive than his father!

If the girl was willing, she wouldn't have ended up like this!

Su Tianshan shook his head: "Fine, as long as you don't regret it! But I still stand by what I said! Yunzhou, you can like that woman if you want!"

But the family needs to grow, and she can't be the head of the household!

I will arrange a marriage for you with a girl from a respectable family!

"grandfather……"

"There's no room for negotiation on this! You can keep that girl; you can make her your wife."

Su Yunzhou pursed his lips and said, "Then... the Gu family can cease to exist!"

"you……"

Su Tianshan was furious: "Don't do anything reckless!"

Su Yunzhou said coldly, "I said, she is my future wife, and there is only her!"

"Fine...fine...I don't care about you anymore! Let's see what you do now!"

Su Tianshan stormed off in a huff!

Su Yunzhou let out a breath!

She silently walked up to the floor where Zhou was.

Are you asleep?

"Yes, Miss Zhou has already gone to sleep!"

"Um!"

Su Yunzhou sat on the sofa in the hallway, looking at the door!

"Zhou Ye, why do you care about a girl you don't know, but not about me? We clearly had feelings for each other first."

I can't possibly be wrong!

But why can things change overnight?

Did I come back at the wrong time?

"Xiao Ye, I really like you! I hope my actions this time won't make you hate me! Xie Jianshe, he's just a opportunist!"

He's not worth your affection!

"gentlemen……"

"Go and call Butler Lu!"

"yes!"

Butler Lu is a woman in her forties!

She used to be the housekeeper who worked with Su Yunzhou's mother!

Half an hour later, they appeared here.

Su Yunzhou's attitude towards Butler Lu was different from that of others. He stood up and nodded slightly: "Butler Lu!"

"The master is back!"

Butler Lu smiled very gently.

Su Yunzhou's expression relaxed considerably: "Butler Lu, I brought back a girl. She's quite young, but her personality is rather aloof."

The Su family is large and prone to attracting unwanted attention; they need your close protection!

Butler Lu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Alright, I will take good care of the person you brought back, sir."

"You'll be staying in the first room in the corridor. Yun'er is keeping you company in the room right now."

"Okay!"

After Su Yunzhou left, Butler Lu was filled with relief. "Good, very good! Madam, our young man has grown up."

He knows he likes girls!

I wonder what the girl I brought back looks like?

I hope you won't suffer the pain of unrequited love!

Butler Lu was somewhat expectant.

The next day, the sky was just beginning to brighten!

Su Yun was woken up by the pain. After changing her clothes in the bathroom, Zhou Ye also got up when she came out.

"Miss Zhou, did I wake you up?"

"no!"

Zhou Ye replied casually.

"Tap tap tap..."

There was a soft knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Zhou was surprised to find that the person who entered was an older woman.

"And you are?"

Zhou looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Miss Zhou, hello. I will be your housekeeper from now on. You can give me any instructions regarding your daily life."

My surname is Lu!

Zhou Ye looked at the woman in front of him. Her clothes were very unusual, indicating that she held a high position in the Su family and was arranged by Su Yunzhou.

"Hello! Butler Lu!"

Butler Lu finally understood why the master had said the young lady was aloof! This young lady was dignified, elegant, and beautiful, like a flower!

She looks stunning in any dress!

It's normal that your husband would like it.

But... there's always this strange feeling!

Does this girl not like the gentleman?

I looked around the room. This was my husband's favorite room; he always came here when he was feeling down!

Giving it to this girl shows that they value her!

This also shows that...

Why……

Alright, let's do what the master asked us to do!

The housekeeper said softly, "Ms. Zhou, your toiletries have been prepared. Please proceed to the restroom!"

"good!"

Zhou didn't make things difficult for anyone and went straight to the restroom. Everything here was better than anything he had experienced in his previous life!

It used to be said that the world of the rich is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people!

This was only the 1960s, yet the standard of living far exceeded that of the 21st century.

After washing up, Butler Lu had already prepared breakfast!

Su Yun slowly left; she couldn't eat here!

"Miss Zhou, please have some!"

Zhou didn't respond, nor did he force himself to not eat or drink!

Butler Lu was very thoughtful; he watched Zhou Ye eat while keeping track of her preferences!

After the meal, Butler Lu had a basic understanding of Zhou Ye's appetite!

"Su Yun can't eat here?"

Butler Lu smiled slightly: "Yes, the Su family eats in the dining hall! Eating here is against the rules!"

Zhou nodded without asking any further questions.

After Su Yun went downstairs, she clutched her aching stomach. She had already seen someone brewing medicine!

Let's eat first!

"Su Yun!"

Su Yun paused for a moment: "Sister Lanlan!"

"How about it? Miss Zhou is hard to please, isn't she?" Su Lanlan looked at Su Yun provocatively. Zhou was so arrogant, she must not be able to stand a young lady like Su Yun.

She's so frail and delicate, it's obvious she's just faking it...

That would be so interesting if Zhou Ye and Su Yun could clash!
