Chapter 229 What kind of uncle is he? I don't recognize him!
Mrs. Su was also shocked by her own thoughts.
But it seems unlikely.
Yu Shengsheng only obtained the status of a princess, which she did not earn herself. How could she influence matters like the Rongguo Mansion?
Thinking of the Duke Rong's Mansion, she felt annoyed again.
"You don't even bother to ask how your uncle's family is doing, you only care about your own little ailments and pains."
Yu Shengsheng asked back: "What uncle?"
"You... of course it's the Rongguo Mansion, the Cheng family." Madam Su was upset, "Which other uncle can you have?"
"I don't know. I've never recognized a door or a person before." Yu Shengsheng's tone was calm and without any waves. "I'm afraid Madam has forgotten something. It should be Su Zhiyi who went to see it, right?"
Mrs. Su thought about it and realized that Su Zhiyi really didn't ask.
"Zhiyi is not in good health, why are you arguing with her about this?"
Madam Su was displeased: "Go and see them tomorrow and comfort your aunt and your cousins."
Yu Shengsheng smiled faintly: "Mr. Cheng's concubine had a miscarriage, how can I comfort her? Tell her not to be discouraged, there will be children in the future, anyway, there are a lot of concubines."
"You!" Mrs. Su pointed at her, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"What nonsense is Shengsheng talking about? I think she is absolutely right!"
Su Huaiyuan walked in, followed by Ruan Jing.
"The Cheng family is a mess right now. Why do you want Shengsheng to go there? They don't even have time to clear themselves of the wrong things, but you want her to get involved in this?"
Su Huaiyuan looked at Yu Shengsheng and said in a gentle tone: "How are you? Are you feeling better?"
Yu Shengsheng nodded: "Not bad."
Mrs. Su was scolded, and seeing that he was very kind to Yu Shengsheng, especially in front of Ruan Jing, she felt even more ashamed.
She immediately got angry: "What do you mean by a quagmire? What are you talking about? Now that you are rich, you look down on my family. When my father was alive, the Rongguo Mansion was very famous. He married me, his legitimate daughter, to you, but he didn't look down on you and say that the Su family is a quagmire!"
When Su Huaiyuan heard her bring up the past, his face immediately darkened. He stared at her in silence, warning her with his eyes to stop.
However, Mrs. Su showed no intention of stopping.
She snorted coldly: "What? Am I wrong? How did you ask for my hand in marriage in front of my father? How did you promise him? Why didn't you say that the Cheng family was a quagmire at that time?"
She became more and more excited as she spoke: "If it weren't for the Cheng family supporting you and my father supporting you and suggesting that you lead the troops, how could the emperor give you the opportunity? How could you have the prestige you have today!"
The veins on Su Huaiyuan's forehead popped out: "Enough!"
He kicked over a chair, startling Mrs. Su.
"Pass on my order. Madam is seriously ill and needs to rest. Except for a few personal attendants, no one else is allowed to enter the courtyard."
Madam Su was stunned and stood up in disbelief: "You want to confine me?"
"Why not?" Su Huaiyuan's expression remained unchanged, anger surging in his eyes, "With your current madness, you must be confined to your home. Otherwise, if one day the Su family is implicated by you and ends up like the Cheng family, I will not be able to face my ancestors."
Madam Su wanted to say something, but Su Huaiyuan said coldly: "If you want to be banned endlessly, then keep making trouble."
"Shengsheng, come on, I'll take you back to the courtyard."
Yu Shengsheng nodded, looked back at Mrs. Su, and followed him away.
Before leaving, he glanced at Wu Lian'er.
Su Huaiyuan came so quickly, was it a coincidence, or did someone tip him off?
When they got outside the courtyard, Su Huaiyuan sighed softly, pinched his brows and said, "Shengsheng, you are a sensible child, don't take some things to heart."
"What happened in Rongguo Mansion has nothing to do with you."
The implication was that there was no need for her to comfort him.
Yu Shengsheng nodded, and Ruan Jing stepped forward and said, "I'll make some osmanthus cake tomorrow and bring some to you?"
Her eyes were full of expectation. Yu Shengsheng thought for a moment and did not refuse: "Okay."
Ruan Jing's eyes lit up: "Okay, I'll send it to you when I'm done."
Back in the courtyard, Jin Baobao asked in a low voice: "Miss, don't you have to meet Cheng Su tomorrow?"
"Yes," Yu Shengsheng nodded, "that's a big deal."
Seeing Cheng Su from afar today was really a pleasant surprise. If I had waited until he went to Qingming Academy, it would have been difficult to see him.
He probably wouldn't bring anyone else with him when he visited his parents' graves, as there were few people there.
The time and place are right.
Everything went smoothly today - oh, except that she failed to get Fu Qingyin to agree to give her a place in Yong'an Institute.
But the general direction was good, she was in a good mood and slept soundly.
Inside Cheng Mansion.
There was still a lingering smell of blood in Cheng Ziheng's room.
He sat alone, dejected, his head and face in the shadow of the candlelight.
He sent everyone in the yard out.
He needs to think carefully about what to do next.
The emperor has issued an oral order that he can never enter the officialdom again. So what will he do in the future?
He is not good at studying, can no longer be an official, and without the title of the Duke's Mansion, what can he do?
Doing business? I've never done business before. Spending money is fine, but making money...
After a long while, he took a deep breath, stood up and went to see his father.
Cheng Zhaoping was too lazy to see anyone, so he stayed alone in the study.
Just when I was feeling extremely worried, Cheng Ziheng came.
"Rebellious son, you..."
"Dad," Cheng Ziheng interrupted calmly, "I have to go out tomorrow."
Cheng Zhaoping angrily scolded: "I just told you to kneel in the ancestral hall tomorrow, two hours a day, for a full month, and you told me you were going out tomorrow?"
Cheng Ziheng knelt down and said, "Dad, I have to go out tomorrow. Whether I will succeed in this life depends on tomorrow."
Cheng Zhaoping was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"What are you going to do?"
"Dad, don't ask me. After it's done, you will know that I will make you proud of me. I will earn my own career in the future."
Cheng Zhaoping frowned, half believing and half doubting.
He knew what his son was capable of, but it was rare for him to be so serious and not look fake.
Could it be...that there really will be a turning point?
Let's give it a try.
The next morning, Yu Shengsheng was washing up when Jin Baobao came in carrying a lunch box.
"Miss, come quickly. Madam Zhou's meat patties are so delicious!"
Round and golden meat patties, yellow millet porridge, a few red dates, and a few side dishes.
As soon as Yu Shengsheng smelled the fragrance, she felt extremely hungry.
"Have you eaten?" Yu Shengsheng asked Jin Baobao while eating.
Jin Baobao shook his head and swallowed his saliva: "No, the young lady hasn't eaten yet, how can I eat first?"
Yu Shengsheng smiled lightly: "There's no one here right now, please sit down and eat together."
Jin Baobao pursed his lips and shook his head.
"Hurry up, buy some time, we still have to go out, if we are late we will miss the event."
Only then did Jin Baobao sit down.
After eating, the two changed their clothes, took all their belongings, and quietly went out through the back door. They did not rent a carriage immediately, and only rented a carriage after passing two intersections.
Jin Baobao wore a bamboo hat and drove a cart straight out of the city.
Yu Shengsheng lifted the car curtain and looked out. Last time, she was so close to the city gate and freedom, but she had to turn back.
Now, she can leave the city, but she can never see Grandma Wu again.
I lowered the car curtain and looked at what I had in my hand. I hoped that today's events would have a good outcome.
