Chapter 108: Determination to Leave
Yu Shengsheng was so surprised that tears almost fell.
"Grandma Wu, you're awake. How do you feel?"
"Much better," Grandma Wu said with a smile, her tone distressed, "Shengsheng, thank you for your hard work."
Yu Shengsheng wiped her eyes and touched her forehead with her hand: "What are you talking about? I am the one who implicated you."
Grandma Wu held her hand with difficulty. Her rough palm and fingertips made Yu Shengsheng's heart ache.
"Don't talk nonsense. What does it have to do with you? You haven't dragged anyone down. It's the world that is unfair to you."
"Shengsheng, don't worry about me. I have thick skin and will be healed in a few days. Your eyes are red, you must have not slept all night yesterday, go and rest."
Yu Shengsheng couldn't resist her, so she lay down on the beauty couch under the window.
Grandma Wu could see her by lying with her face sideways.
Nanny Zhou helped to feed the medicine. Grandma Wu signaled with her eyes, and she looked back, only to find that Yu Shengsheng had fallen asleep on the couch.
Nanny Zhou felt distressed: "Young lady is too tired."
Grandma Wu whispered, "Old sister, has something happened to Shengsheng? Tell me about it."
Madam Zhou hesitated and shook her head. Madam Wu sighed softly, "I know this child too well. Just tell me. The more you don't tell me, the more uneasy I feel."
Nanny Zhou had no choice but to tell her about Qi Mubai.
Grandma Wu couldn't believe it and murmured, "Oh my God, how could this happen? Shengsheng must be so sad. Mubai is obviously a good child. Before the two of them... How could it turn out like this?"
Madam Zhou nodded: "Old sister, I don't mean anything else. I just want you to have a chance to persuade the young lady. She didn't cry or make a fuss, but I can see that she is very sad. It's better to let it go as soon as possible."
"I know, thank you so much."
Yu Shengsheng slept until almost noon, and Jin Baobao came back from outside.
"Miss, I've watched carefully and stepped carefully. Don't worry, I'll definitely be able to steal the person away when the time comes."
Yu Shengsheng has always been worried about Zhuo Ge'er, worried that he would be bullied, detained, or even beaten. But now it seems that this is not the case, he is really in the academy.
"Okay, I'll follow your orders then."
For three consecutive days, Yu Shengsheng did not leave the yard, and no one from the Su family came to trouble her.
On the evening of the third day, Yu Shengsheng and Jin Baobao quietly went out through the side door to meet Manager Song.
"Boss, I've made up my mind. I want to go to Jiangnan."
Shopkeeper Song showed just the right amount of surprise: "You're going? Then the capital..."
"I'm going to Jiangnan, Shopkeeper Song. I'm really sorry that I can't take care of this place at the same time. I wonder if my trip to Jiangnan is still valid?"
"Yes, of course," Shopkeeper Song nodded. "All the conditions I mentioned before are valid. If you want to go, I will send a carriage and two servants to take you there."
Yu Shengsheng thought about it and decided that there was no need for a carriage. She had to prepare the carriage so that Grandma Wu could sit in it as soon as she went out. The waiter could do it.
She had never been to Jiangnan. The journey was not short, so with two people leading the way, they could take care of each other.
As soon as the idea was presented, Shopkeeper Song readily agreed.
Yu Shengsheng said, "Then let's meet in the pavilion outside the city in three days."
"Okay, it's a deal."
After leaving the antique shop, Yu Shengsheng breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the sky.
It's a nice day today.
"Leopard, are you willing to go to Jiangnan with me?"
Jin Baobao's eyes rolled: "Yes, yes, I will go wherever the lady goes."
After returning to the mansion, Yu Shengsheng came to see Madam Su.
This is the first time she has come here on her own initiative since she came back.
When Mrs. Su heard this, she was surprised and happy. She quickly got dressed and changed her clothes. She ordered people to serve snacks and tea, and went to the door to greet them in person.
"Shengsheng, come in quickly."
"Have you tried on the autumn clothes? Do they fit you well?"
Mrs. Su looked happy, as if she had forgotten everything that had happened before and that it didn't exist.
Yu Shengsheng pulled back her hand and said, "Madam, I have something to ask of you."
"I say, what can we, mother and daughter, ask for?"
"I want Madam Zhou's indenture contract," Yu Shengsheng said slowly but firmly, "Don't say it's not with you or you have no choice. I know that if you want to, you can do it."
Mrs. Su was startled, and an unnatural look flashed across her face.
"Shengsheng, I used to..."
"Let's not talk about the past," Yu Shengsheng interrupted, "Madame Zhou's indenture contract, she is a member of my courtyard, I want to keep it myself, she is old and disabled, if it weren't for this, she would not have come to my courtyard."
"If I leave the Su family, I will take her with me. If I ask for her later, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing."
Yu Shengsheng's words were vague. What she meant by leaving the Su family was literal. As for what Madam Su thought, she couldn't control it.
"Her indenture is definitely not with me, and I wasn't the one who arranged for her to go there in the first place. Of course, I wanted to arrange for a few capable people for you..."
Yu Shengsheng bowed and said, "Then please think of a way, Madam, and send someone to deliver it to me after you get it."
After she said that, she turned and left without touching the tea and snacks on the table.
Mrs. Su sat down sadly, shedding two tears, and asked her maid to tell Su Yanshu about the matter and ask for his opinion.
When Yu Shengsheng returned to the yard, Grandma Wu was sitting under the porch chatting with Grandma Zhou. As they talked, they were peeling fresh edamame.
The golden sunlight fell on their smiling faces. Yu Shengsheng's eyes also flickered and warmth rose in her heart.
"What's delicious to eat?"
"I'll cook some fresh edamame for you," Grandma Wu said with a smile, "Don't you like the sweet aroma of edamame the most? In the past..."
She suddenly paused. Yu Shengsheng and Qi Mubai both liked it before, and Qi Mubai even wrote a few poems about it.
Yu Shengsheng moved a small stool and sat next to them: "I used to pick wild beans often, and I only picked the tender ones."
The edamame is cooked, and two bowls of plump and round beans roll around on Yu Shengsheng's fingertips.
The four of them were eating happily together when the maidservant beside Mrs. Su came.
As soon as he entered the room, he smiled wryly: "Miss, this is what you wanted. Madam said that she asked for it from the old lady. The old lady was not very happy, and Madam coaxed her for a long time. Can you..."
Yu Shengsheng took it and said, "Thank you, ma'am."
The old woman wanted to say something, but Jin Baobao glared at her and she walked away with a pout.
Yu Shengsheng checked it and found that it was indeed Nanny Zhou's indenture, without a doubt.
He handed it to Madam Zhou and said, "This is for you."
Nanny Zhou took it, opened it, and was surprised and delighted. She couldn't believe it: "Miss, this..."
"You deserve it."
…
Three days passed in a flash, and Grandma Wu's injury had not yet fully healed, but she could still walk.
Yu Shengsheng didn't tell her the truth, she just said she wanted to take her out of town for a walk to relax.
Jin Baobao set out for the academy early in the morning, and as soon as the appointed time arrived, he took Zhuo Ge'er away.
Yu Shengsheng looked at Madam Zhou who was setting the table: "Madam, I have something I want to ask you."
"Miss, if you have anything to say, just ask."
