Chapter 52 I'll give you a surprise
Yu Shengsheng didn't let Mrs. Su leave, and invited her to sit down and have a cup of tea.
Mrs. Su was surprised and delighted. She sat down quickly and spoke warmly.
Not long after, Nanny Zhou came back, still empty-handed, with a slap mark on her face.
Mrs. Su was stunned: "What's wrong with you? Where's the ice basin?"
Madam Zhou knelt down with a plop. "Madam, Miss, I am incompetent and cannot bring an ice basin. They said that ice is precious and must be used by the masters of each courtyard first. Let Miss wait and see if there is any left."
"The old slave refused to obey and had a few words, then he was beaten."
Madam Su said angrily, "This is outrageous. Shengsheng is also the master. What do you mean by using the leftovers?"
"Go ahead," Madam Su looked at Mrs. Wu, "and tell them that it was me who said it. I'll see who dares not to give it to you!"
"yes."
Madam Su comforted Yu Shengsheng: "Shengsheng, don't worry, mother will teach those stubborn slaves a lesson."
Yu Shengsheng's long eyelashes hid the sarcasm in her eyes.
Madam Su must see it with her own eyes, otherwise she will always think that she is living a carefree life as a young lady in this mansion, just as she imagined.
The ice basin was finally brought. Madam Su said a few kind words to comfort her and said that she would teach the servants in the house a lesson. Then she left with Mrs. Wu.
Jin Baobao put some medicine on Madam Zhou's face: "Who hit you? I will avenge you."
Aunt Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She looked around and lowered her voice: "I hit myself."
Jin Baobao's eyes widened, Yu Shengsheng and Madam Zhou smiled at each other.
It's hard not to feel sad.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mammy."
"Miss, you are the one who has suffered the most. Let me see where you are hurt."
…
Su Zhiyi was sitting in a wheelchair, and Ru Jian was kneeling on the ice in front of him.
The coolness seeped into her skin and bones. She couldn't use too much force. If the ice shattered a pattern, she would be whipped.
There were already seven or eight crisscrossing bloodstains on the back.
Ever since that day when the housekeeper of the Shen Mansion came to mention that she should be a concubine, her nightmare began.
Ru Jian was trembling slightly, feeling both painful and cold all over. What frightened her even more was Su Zhiyi's face that did not show whether he was happy or angry.
"Miss, please spare me..."
Su Zhiyi stroked the thin whip with her fingers. This was given to her by Su Huaishan earlier. It was made of tanned cowhide, thin and tough. It was the most painful when whipping a horse, but also the most obedient.
The same goes for people.
"How can I forgive you? When you and Shen Zhiyuan were together, you never thought of forgiving me. Why should I forgive you now?"
"I was really wronged. I was harmed by someone at that time. Miss, I am loyal to you. Besides, I have someone I like in my heart..."
Su Zhiyi stared at her, his eyes like poisonous arrows: "You like my second brother, right?"
Ru Jian froze suddenly, only then realizing that he had let the cat out of the bag.
Su Zhiyi put the whip on her chin: "Come here."
Ru Jian quickly moved Bing's leg, which was in so much pain that it was almost numb, and knelt beside her.
"Ruzhu is dead. My second brother killed her with his own hands," Su Zhiyi said in a gloomy tone, colder than ice. "He told me this himself before he left. You know, if he knew it was Ruzhu who did it, how could he not know that you were involved?"
Ru Jian's eyes widened: "Miss, I want to embarrass Yu Shengsheng and vent your anger."
Su Zhiyi put more force on her hands and raised her chin higher: "I heard that she went back home."
Ru Jian immediately said, "Then I will continue to think of ways to make her look bad."
Su Zhiyi pulled the corner of her mouth slightly, and slapped her face with the whip: "That's more like it."
…
Yu Shengsheng asked Nanny Zhou if she had met Grandma Wu.
Madam Zhou shook her head: "No, after you left, I have been staying in the yard and have never gone out. Even the meals are delivered to me."
Yu Shengsheng frowned slightly, and Madam Zhou said, "I will go and ask now."
Jin Baobao rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll go too. If they don't tell me, I'll beat them until they tell me."
Yu Shengsheng frowned and stopped them: "No, neither of you can go."
"Remember, try not to go out during this period, and try to protect yourself. No matter what time, safety comes first."
Yu Shengsheng looked at Jin Baobao: "Especially you, the Su family is a family of military generals, and the guards and guardians are extraordinary. Now Su Huaishan is back, and his skills are even better than Su Dingqin."
Jin Baobao's eyes sparkled, and Yu Shengsheng deliberately frowned: "Don't forget, you said you would listen to me."
"Okay, okay," Jin Baobao immediately backed off when he saw that she was unhappy, "I'll listen to you. I promise not to go out and beat anyone up."
Nanny Zhou burst out laughing.
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone talking outside.
"Is my sister here?"
The smile that had just appeared on Yu Shengsheng's face faded away again.
Jin Baobao asked in a low voice: "Miss, he came to my door and didn't leave the yard. Can I fight him?"
Nanny Zhou pulled her and they both walked out.
Yu Shengsheng looked at the mirror and sighed helplessly - life like this was really not as comfortable as living in Zhenqiao Tower.
Ru Jian pushed Su Zhiyi into the yard. Su Zhiyi's face was slightly pale and his smile was warm.
"I heard that my sister is back, and I'm relieved. Are you hurt? Have you ever suffered any injustice?"
Yu Shengsheng bowed slightly: "Thank you for your concern, Princess. Everything is fine with me. Although my fate is ominous, I am lucky enough to survive."
Su Zhiyi didn't care that her words were unpleasant: "I'm glad you're okay, Ru Jian."
Ru Jian stepped forward and handed over a box.
"This is a hundred-year-old ginseng, it's great for nourishing the body, take it, sister."
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess. You don't need to participate."
Jin Baobao glanced at Ru Jian and said in a neither loud nor low voice: "Who knows if someone will poison you again."
Ru Jian's face was sullen: "This is the princess's sincere love, there is no poison in it, don't be ungrateful."
Jin Baobao sneered: "I just know what's good for me!"
Su Zhiyi clenched her hands slightly and lowered her voice: "It seems that my sister still blames me."
Yu Shengsheng had a headache. Every time Su Zhiyi said this, she was close to being in trouble.
"Since my sister blames me and doesn't want to see me, I don't have the face to make any more requests."
Yu Shengsheng suppressed her impatience and said, "Princess, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."
"My birthday is coming soon. I know that our birthdays are on the same day," Su Zhiyi said with a guilty look on her face, "but due to our status, we cannot celebrate together."
"But I still want to invite my sister to attend. I don't want any birthday gifts, I just want to celebrate with my sister and make up for what I owe you."
"However, if there is no birthday gift, I am afraid that outsiders will talk about it. I remember that my eldest brother once gave you a crescent bow. Can you..."
I see.
After all this talk, it was all about that bow.
Yu Shengsheng remembered that when Su Dingqin first taught her riding and archery, she praised her talent and said she was worthy of being the daughter of the Su family, and even gave her a bow.
The bow was all black, made of high-quality wood, and was named "Crescent Moon."
Yu Shengsheng liked it very much and often practiced with it in the martial arts training ground. He took great care of it and regarded it as a treasure.
The last time I used the crescent moon was in the paddock.
She hasn't seen it since she came back, but Mrs. Su did mention that her original things were all in the small warehouse.
Unexpectedly, even today, even though Su Zhiyi's legs are in this state and he can no longer ride and shoot, he still misses that bow.
Yu Shengsheng smiled softly: "Of course, no problem, not only the bow, I will give the princess a surprise at the birthday party."
