Chapter 39: Her Relationship with the Red Dragon Guard
Yu Shengsheng suddenly lost her appetite.
Jin Baobao snorted, "If she wants to wait, let her wait."
"Miss," Madam Zhou advised softly, "If anything happens to Madam, I'm afraid you will be blamed. Just meet her and talk it out."
Yu Shengsheng sighed slightly: "Okay, I'll go see her."
Ever since Yu Shengsheng returned to the courtyard, Mrs. Su has been standing in the sun in front of the courtyard gate. It is now dark, and her clothes are soaked with sweat, as if she had just been fished out of the water.
His body was shaking and he looked like he might fall down at any time. He was holding a box in his hand, but no one knew what was in it.
Seeing Yu Shengsheng coming out, she took a step forward and grinned.
"Shengsheng, you're awake. Are you feeling better? It's my fault. I was so worried that I forgot you were injured too. Are you still in pain?"
There was a look of pity in her eyes, just like the first time she saw the skinny Yu Shengsheng returning home.
Unfortunately, Yu Shengsheng is no longer the Yu Shengsheng of three years ago.
"Thank you for your concern, Madam. I've applied the medicine and I'm much better now. Madam, what are you doing here? You might as well give me your instructions directly."
Yu Shengsheng was respectful and polite, but it made Madam Su cry even more.
"Shengsheng, mother loves you too. You are my flesh and blood, how can I not feel pain? Mother promises you that when your elder brother comes back, I will ask him to apologize to you and take you out for a walk. I will buy you whatever you want. Okay?"
Yu Shengsheng lowered her eyes, without even moving her eyebrows.
Madam Su added, "Mother owns two shops. When your elder brother comes back, ask him to take you to have a look. If you like them, they'll be yours. Is that okay?"
Mrs. Su observed Yu Shengsheng's expression and opened the box she brought.
There's nothing valuable in there, just some small trinkets.
The small box was filled with small slingshots, small glass balls and small spinning tops.
"These were all made by your eldest brother himself. He is six years older than you. He has always acted like an older brother since he was young and loves his younger sister very much."
She took out a small slingshot, tears still in her eyes, and smiled: "That year he insisted on making a slingshot for my sister. I said how could a little girl use a slingshot, and he said that the daughter of a general's mansion is also a heroine."
"he……"
Yu Shengsheng looked up at her, her eyes were calm, yet they went straight to the heart.
"Ma'am, I grew up in the countryside and never played with these toys. The Major General didn't make them for me."
"I can make a slingshot and use it, because I couldn't draw a bow or make arrows when I was a kid, but I want to hunt and fill my stomach. These have never been toys for me, but a way to survive."
Madam Su's expression froze, and her smile broke. After a pause, she said hurriedly, "This was made by your eldest brother for your sister. But at that time, we didn't know you existed, so it was actually made for you."
"If you were at home, he would love you like this too."
"Shengsheng, please go and ask Chief Hao to help. Can you let your elder brother come back? He has never suffered that much."
She closed the box and forced it to Yu Shengsheng: "All of these are for you, all yours, save your brother, okay?"
These are all yours.
But what’s the use of these?
Yu Shengsheng had long since grown up like a weed, suffering beatings and being hated.
No matter how hard her life was before, she entered the mansion with a grateful heart and never resented her family in the slightest.
She put aside the past and just wanted to be with her family. She didn't even have any hatred towards Su Zhiyi.
If it weren't for that accident, if he hadn't been pushed out by his family as a scapegoat, if he hadn't seen with his own eyes how much his brother loved Su Zhiyi, if he hadn't seen clearly that Mrs. Su could also be a strong mother.
She wouldn't be as cold-hearted as she is today.
Yu Shengsheng handed the box over and said, "Madam, I have no friendship with the Red Dragon Guards. Who is Chief Hao? Why would he listen to a little girl like me? If the Major General has not done it, he will investigate it."
Mrs. Su did not take the box. Her eyes slowly and coldly moved from the box to Yu Shengsheng's face.
All the care and love just now disappeared.
Only resentment remains.
"No friendship? Without friendship, would Shen Zhiyuan agree to take Rujian as his concubine? Without friendship, would the Red Dragon Guards send you back?"
"You've ruined Zhiyi's marriage. What else do you want? Are you willing to let my son die in prison?"
"You've only been in Villa for a year, but you've become so resentful. Will you be satisfied only if the entire Su family dies without a burial place?"
Yu Shengsheng frowned slightly and looked at her, calm and sad.
Haha, the Su family is still the same, blaming all the mistakes on her.
"What happened to Shen Zhiyuan and Ru Jian has nothing to do with me," Yu Shengsheng said in an even colder tone, "They have to bear the consequences of their own actions."
"The young general's matter is related to the Crown Prince Kong, and I don't know anything about him. I don't even know this person," Yu Shengsheng looked back at Madam Su, "Does Madam know?"
Madam Su's eyes narrowed.
How could she not know? She had no say in this marriage, so what could she do?
"Ding Qin is in the capital, how could he care about Shunchang's affairs?" Madam Su gritted her teeth, "I don't care, my son is innocent, no matter what method you use, go and beg, go and talk."
Yu Shengsheng opened her lips slightly: "I can't do it."
Madam Su took a step forward and lowered her voice, like a thin-bladed knife, not heavy, but sharp and cold.
"If you can't do it, then let Old Lady Wu do it. As the mistress of the Su family, it's okay for me to punish an old lady. Whatever suffering my son has endured, she must pay double, no, ten times."
"My son is a major general, and she is a lowly old servant. It is her honor to suffer for my son."
Yu Shengsheng's expression suddenly changed.
Only then did I realize that I had not seen Grandma Wu since I woke up.
Yu Shengsheng's dark eyes were as deep as a cold pond, without a trace of light.
Madam Su exhaled lightly, and her tone softened again: "Shengsheng, mother doesn't want to embarrass you, but this is about your eldest brother. He is the eldest son of the Su family, and I can't just ignore him."
"As long as you rescue him, mother will not only relieve Wu Po of all her duties and provide for her in her old age, but will also let her return to your courtyard to keep you company. What do you think?"
The anger in Yu Shengsheng's heart rolled like waves, burning her heart fiercely.
But Grandma Wu was in Mrs. Su's hands, and she had to surrender no matter how unwilling she was.
The two were in a stalemate.
Under a tree at the corner not far away, Su Yanshu lowered his eyes and listened quietly.
He arrived long before Yu Shengsheng came out to meet Madam Su, and he knew why his mother came, which was to see if Yu Shengsheng would agree.
In today's whole incident, Hao Mengye came at the wrong time. On the surface, it seemed like he was investigating a case, but he couldn't hide it at all.
Hao Mengye came to save Yu Shengsheng.
What is the connection between Yu Shengsheng and the Red Dragon Guard?
Su Yanshu was really curious.
Not only did he want to know, the prince was also waiting for his news.
