Chapter 100 Wan's Bolt from the Blue
Zhu looked at Master Bai and immediately said, "Hurry up! You are pregnant after all. If you have any grievances, just tell me and I will seek justice for you."
Cuilan began to complain angrily, "After I returned to the countryside with the Su family, my mother-in-law has been finding fault with me and disliking me. Last night she even drove me out of the village. I almost froze to death outside!"
"How ridiculous!" Zhu was shocked and angry, and slammed the table. "What does Su Chunsen want to do? As the saying goes, don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face. How dare she lose face to me like this?"
Young Master Bai was also very angry. He said to Zhu with a cold face, "Madam, don't be angry. Su Chuan is my servant. It is reasonable for me to deal with him."
Zhu then eased a little, "Thank you, husband! They should be back tomorrow, but it's a pity that you have to go with me to the Zhu family and can't handle it in time."
"No problem." Young Master Bai waved his hand and said thoughtfully, "I'll go find mother. Su Chunsen's family is the one who serves mother, so it's more appropriate for mother to deal with it. Su Chuan is at least a close follower of mine, but he's so useless. He deserves to be punished. I'll punish him when I come back."
Zhu finally regained her smile and nodded to Cuilan, "You can go back and rest first. I don't need you to serve me here."
"Thank you, Young Master and Madam." Cuilan lowered her head and retreated.
As soon as she walked out of the room, she puffed out her chest and held it high like a victorious rooster, secretly looking forward to the fate of Su Chuan's family.
At the same time, Wan was complaining to Su Yu, telling him everything that had happened to their family in the past year.
When Su Yu heard that Su Chuan married Cui Lan, her face changed completely, "Mom! You are confused! It was obvious that Nanny Li came over with bad intentions on the day of my wedding. How could she possibly arrange a good marriage for my brother!
Cuilan had been having an affair with the young master before, and they had sex behind the young master's wife's back. That woman is already a fallen woman. What will the young master think if the eldest brother marries her? Will Cuilan be happy?"
Wan suddenly realized something and jumped up. "No wonder Nanny Li smiled so meaningfully that day. She must have known about Cuilan and the young master's affair a long time ago. Madam must have known about it too! They teamed up to plot against our family!"
Wan was so angry that she burst into tears and sobbed, "I have served the Madam for so many years. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. Just because you live a good life, she is not happy and treats our family like this! How can I live!"
Su Yu frowned slightly, "Mom, the most urgent thing is not to cry, but to find a way to deal with it. Call my eldest brother over. I have something to ask him."
"Okay! Okay! I'll go call them right away!" Wan wiped her tears and hurried out to call Su Chuan, who was talking outside, in.
Seeing Su Yu's round face and good complexion, Su Chuan smiled unconsciously, "Good sister, what do you want me for?"
Su Yu lowered her voice and asked, "Brother, tell me honestly, is the baby in Cuilan's belly yours?"
Su Chuan looked up in surprise, "Why do you ask that?"
Su Yu was furious. "There are only three of us here. You don't have to do this in front of me. I already knew about Cuilan and the young master's affairs!"
Su Chuan slowly lowered his eyes and put away the smile on his face, "Why are you asking if you already know everything?"
Su Yu was extremely angry. "I asked because I was afraid something might happen to you! Cuilan is obviously not a good person. She would have made a scene if you treated her like that last night! Now she is pregnant with the eldest young master's child, and the eldest young master's wife doesn't know about it. The two of them will definitely protect her.
Although our family is the elders in the mansion, we are no match for the favored Cuilan. If she continues to exaggerate and confuse right and wrong, how can you have a good life in the mansion in the future?"
Wan's face turned pale instantly, and her lips trembled. "It's all my fault! If I hadn't lost my temper, things wouldn't have turned out like this. Your father and your eldest brother were both implicated by me."
"Mother! Don't talk about whether it's a burden or not. Cuilan doesn't like me or you. I had no choice but to marry her. After we got married, we didn't have any real relationship. Otherwise, the young master wouldn't treat me the same way.
He is very satisfied with my tactfulness. I also have leverage over him. Even if the young master is unhappy, he dare not go too far. Otherwise, both sides will be destroyed. I will expose this matter, and no one will have an easy life!" Su Chuan clenched his fists, his face gradually becoming ferocious.
Su Yu glared at him in dismay and decided not to continue talking to Su Chuan. She thought to herself, "Have you contacted your cousin Yunyun?"
Wan nodded, looking depressed. "She was placed by Young Master Zhu in a two-story house in Yong'an Lane, with maids and servants serving her. Her life was quite peaceful. Young Master Zhu treated her very well, and he kept giving her bird's nests, shark's fins and other good things.
It's just that the old women who serve her are not easy to get along with. Maybe it's because she is so ignorant and takes advantage of her seniority to get involved in everything.
Your father asked me to visit her secretly before, and I reminded her. I don’t know if your cousin listened to me. I am very busy at the end of the year and I can’t take care of her.”
Su Yu stood up and took out a package from the cabinet, "This is what my aunt and uncle prepared for my cousin before they left. It contains some cheese and milk cakes from the ice field, plus twenty taels of silver.
Take it back to your cousin, and spend more time with her in the future. If she needs help, lend a hand. If you run into trouble, you can also try to ask your cousin for help."
Wan nodded silently, tears welling up in her eyes, and choked up as she said, "We don't know what will happen when we return home!"
Su Yu wiped Wan's tears distressedly, "Mom, don't cry, it's too late to say more, when you get to the county, spread the news of Cuilan's arrogance in Dongmen Village, and when you get to Madam's courtyard, you must complain first, don't let Madam make trouble, otherwise it will be too passive.
Try to describe Cuilan's actions as exhaustively as possible, and remind Madam that you are Cuilan's mother-in-law. A mother-in-law is in charge of a lawless daughter-in-law, and no one can say that you did anything wrong. Finally, move out of the Bai family. The Bai family cannot have such a shameful servant.
After weighing the pros and cons, even if the lady is unhappy, she will not punish you severely. At most, she will give you a warning or deduct one or two months' salary from you."
Wan's mind suddenly changed. She felt that her daughter was right. She immediately stopped crying and burst into laughter. "Xiaoyu, you are really smart! Otherwise, mother would really be helpless."
Seeing that Wan had calmed down, Su Yu looked at Su Chuan who was pursing his lips tightly, and his expression became more serious, "Brother, although you are my elder brother, I still have some things to say, even if you don't like to hear it.
You have served the eldest young master for so many years, you should know very well what kind of person he is. If you really fight to the death with him, do you believe that the Bai family will beat you up immediately and sell you and your parents out? What benefits will our family get in the end?
Besides, even if the eldest young master's wife is angry, she will never divorce him. The couple will be awkward for a while, but as long as the eldest young master humbles himself and admits his mistake, won't that put the matter behind us?
Maybe the young master can take this opportunity to ask the young lady to take him a concubine, which is a blessing in disguise!"
