Chapter 7: Requesting to Leave the House
Yu Shengsheng was not happy.
At this moment, she has no heart.
The eagerness of returning home to see relatives had already cooled down.
Just now, her only joy and expectation were shattered when she saw Grandma Wu walking away on her knees.
Grandma Wu had an old leg injury. During the rainy season and winter, her legs would feel sore and swollen. She would always go into the mountains to collect herbs and apply them carefully for a few days before she could walk slowly.
Just a few days ago, there was a heavy rain in the capital.
How could Grandma Wu’s legs bear it?
Yu Shengsheng subconsciously followed two steps. Su Zhiyi's smiling voice mixed in with the sound of the wheelchair rolling: "Grandmother is kind. She knew that my sister was taken care of by the Wu family when she was in the countryside, so you specially brought her here before you returned home and kept her by your side as an idle old woman."
Yu Shengsheng pinched her palms with her fingers and squeezed out a sound with difficulty in her throat.
"Thank you, old lady. I just returned home and there is no one around me. Why not let her serve me?"
Su Yanshu glanced at Yu Shengsheng's clenched hands, which seemed to be grasping the tip of his heart.
Since we met yesterday, I haven't seen her look so concerned about anyone.
At this time, it was for an old servant woman from the country!
Su Yanshu sneered lightly: "Shengsheng, if you want to hire someone, there are many smart maids in the mansion. Why do you have to snatch the one around grandma? She is new here and doesn't know the rules. Don't let her lead you astray again."
Yu Shengsheng tilted her head to look, her eyes like a cold pond were as dark as night.
Su Yanshu's heart skipped a beat and he clenched his teeth unconsciously: "She knows nothing, just like when you first came here, she is useless around you!"
Just like when she first arrived, she was useless, Yu Shengsheng's eyes were dim.
I guess this is what the Su family really thinks.
Because it is useless, it is easily discarded;
Because it is useless, it is humiliated.
The old lady glanced at him and said at the right time: "Okay, what are you quarreling about? It's not right to quarrel over a servant."
"Have a meal."
Yu Shengsheng suppressed all the emotions in her heart, followed the crowd at the end, and walked towards the outer room.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Grandma Wu carefully put down the jewelry box, then she held on to the table and took a few deep breaths before she could barely stand up. Yu Shengsheng's heart felt like it was being strangled by an invisible, thin and tough thread, which kept tightening.
She controlled the urge to go over and help Grandma Wu - she couldn't go, as it would only hurt Grandma Wu.
When they got to the outer room, Su Zhiyi pushed the wheelchair and sat in the lower back seat.
Su Yanshu frowned: "Why are you sitting there today? Your favorite dishes are over here."
Su Zhiyi's eyebrows curved slightly: "My sister is back, so she should be with mother. It doesn't matter where I am."
The old lady waved to Su Zhiyi: "Come, Ah Yi, sit next to grandma."
Su Zhiyi hesitated for a moment and pushed the wheelchair over.
The old lady patted her hand gently and said, "You are the most favored one in our family. As the princess, you will always have a seat at the dinner table."
She pointed at the fish soup in the middle and said, "Today's fish soup is the freshest. This white fish was caught by your eldest brother in the cold pond yesterday. He kept it overnight and started to cook it in the kitchen before dawn."
Su Zhiyi's eyes sparkled: "Thank you, grandma, thank you, big brother."
"I remember my sister also likes fish soup. Come sit down and drink it together!"
Madam Su pulled Yu Shengsheng to sit down and said, "Yier still remembers Shengsheng's taste. Sisters should have such a deep relationship."
As soon as she finished speaking, Grandma Wu picked up the bowl and started to serve the soup.
Su Zhiyi was chatting with the old lady and didn't pay any attention at all. She got excited and raised her hand, knocking over the bowl of soup that Grandma Wu handed to her, and got soaked all over.
"Ah!" she exclaimed.
Everyone at the table changed color and immediately stood up to surround him.
Yu Shengsheng rushed to Grandma Wu and asked in a low voice: "Are you okay?"
Grandma Wu shook her head.
Su Yanshu turned around and saw this scene, the light in his handsome eyes was like a poisonous arrow.
Look, his good sister, instead of caring about her own family, pulls a country woman aside and asks her all sorts of questions.
He rushed over and was about to take action, but Yu Shengsheng stood in front of Grandma Wu.
"Get out of the way."
Yu Shengsheng's calves were trembling slightly: "Second Master, Grandma Wu is old and she didn't mean it. Please don't hurt her."
This was the first time she spoke in a nice way since returning.
Su Yanshu heard the tremor in her voice and his heart trembled as well.
It was as if he was back to the first time they met. He picked up a puppy and wanted to give it to the sister he met for the first time. Unexpectedly, the puppy ran away halfway. He chased it all the way and caught up with Yu Shengsheng.
Yu Shengsheng thought he was going to hurt the puppy, so her voice trembled with nervousness, but she still held the puppy tightly and told him not to hurt it.
Su Yanshu's throat rolled slightly and he slowly withdrew his hand.
Suddenly, Su Zhiyi cried, "It hurts, it's so hot!"
Su Yanshu felt like he was adding fuel to the fire. Ayi had always been strong and never cried out in pain easily. This time he must have been burned.
Su Yanshu glared at Yu Shengsheng, pushed her away, and kicked Grandma Wu's leg with the tip of his boot.
Grandma Wu fell to her knees with a thud, and sweat immediately appeared on her forehead.
"Grandma Wu!" Yu Shengsheng rushed over.
Su Yanshu laughed angrily: "You are still protecting this old woman? If it weren't for you, how could such a lowly person like her enter the Su Mansion? What kind of family is the Su Mansion..."
A lowly person.
She and Grandma Wu are the same kind of people. If it weren't for the blood in her body, she would have no chance to enter the Su Mansion.
If she had known that it would be like falling into the abyss of despair, she should not have hoped in the first place.
It's better than being like this now, with all my hopes shattered and nothing left.
Yu Shengsheng raised her head, her cold eyes piercing his eyes: "What kind of family is the Su Mansion? General Su guards the border, the junior general has made great achievements in battle, and even the little princess has made contributions."
"As for you, the Second Young Master, you are even more so. You are a talented man in the capital, and a companion to the Crown Prince. You will definitely enter the Imperial Academy in the future. Maybe you can become the youngest Prime Minister, and you will be unrivaled in your glory."
"People like me and Grandma Wu, who are like lowly weeds, should live in the countryside for the rest of our lives."
Yu Shengsheng knelt beside Grandma Wu and kowtowed: "Yu Shengsheng begs you to let Grandma Wu and I go."
"We have nothing to do with the Su family anymore."
The room, which was noisy just now, suddenly became quiet.
Even Su Zhiyi stopped crying out in pain.
There were flames flickering in Su Yanshu's eyes, and he wished he could burn Yu Shengsheng into ashes.
What did she say? She wanted to leave the Su family and sever ties with them just for this country old woman?
Listen, what nonsense is this!
She clearly said that the happiest thing in her life was to find her parents and brother again and to become a member of the Su family.
Now, for a woman, you want to leave?
"Do you know what you are talking about?"
Yu Shengsheng rested his forehead on his hands, which was the most standard bowing posture.
"Please, old lady, please help me!"
Madam Su fell softly into the arms of the nanny, tears welling up in her eyelashes: "Shengsheng, why do you hurt my heart so much?"
Su Zhiyi leaned on the wheelchair armrest and tried to stand up: "Sister, don't go, it's my fault, I don't feel any pain anymore!"
Su Yanshu walked up to Yu Shengsheng and looked down at her, his eyes as deep as a cold pond: "Take back what you just said."
The old lady's face was gloomy. She threw the handkerchief in her hand heavily and spoke in a deep voice.
