Chapter 101 Su Yu's Advice
Su Chuan had a wooden face. Although he didn't say anything, he agreed with Su Yu's statement in his heart. The eldest young master's wife was jealous. She had not given birth to any children after marrying the eldest young master, so she kept a strict eye on the eldest young master's harem.
The eldest young master has only one maid named Qiuju who warms the bed in his backyard. She doesn't even have a formal status. Qiuju can only serve the eldest young master when the eldest young master's wife is unwell, and afterward she has to drink contraceptive soup in front of the eldest young master's wife.
The eldest young master did not want to offend the Zhu family, and also in order to maintain peace in the inner house, he always obeyed the eldest young lady.
If the affair between Cuilan and the young master were to come to light, this delicate balance would be broken. The young master would then be able to unscrupulously stuff people into the backyard, and the shame he would suffer would never be washed away, and all the injustice he would suffer would be meaningless. Why!
Su Chuan pounded the table angrily.
Su Yu glanced at the table and remained calm. "Brother, you may be angry, but don't take my things out on me. You have been with the young master since you were a child, but he treats you like this. It shows that you are nothing in his eyes, and he doesn't even have a trace of affection for you.
The master is unreliable, and we have to plan for ourselves as soon as possible. Since we cannot resist openly, we should just go with the flow. Don't be angry when you go back. If the eldest master gets angry, you can cry and complain. On one side is your mother, and on the other side is your wife. Naturally, your mother is the most important. No matter what happens, you can blame her.
The eldest master will at most blame you, but he won't really punish you severely. After all, he wants you to cover for all the dirty things he has done. Your mother is in the madam's yard. As long as you do as I just said, the madam won't punish you severely.
The most important thing is to plan for the future.”
As he spoke, Su Yu looked at Su Chuan deeply and said, "Brother, I don't know if you will be like this in the future, but you can take advantage of the fact that the young master's attention is on Cuilan and Cuilan doesn't take you seriously, and find a clean and honest girl from a good family outside to leave a successor for our family. Then send her to Dongmen Village. I will take good care of her with me here."
Su Chun looked up suddenly, his eyes widened.
"Hiss!" Mrs. Wan gasped in shock, unable to believe that her daughter had such a bold idea. "What nonsense are you talking about! Letting your eldest brother keep a mistress outside? If the master finds out, it will be fatal!"
The master had to keep a mistress secretly, after all, such things could not be seen in public. If the servants did something wrong, it would be considered as breaking the rules and they would be beaten to death.
Su Yu had expected the reactions of the two, and did not show much expression, "Mom, brother, if you don't fight, how do you know there will be no good results? I was able to bet my face at the beginning, and now you can take the risk and try it. As long as the woman is pregnant, you can send her to me, and she won't be discovered.
But this matter still needs to be kept secret from Dad. After all, he is the groom of the mansion and often comes into contact with the master. If he keeps a secret, it will be easily discovered."
"You!" Wan's astonished eyes fell on the scar on Su Yu's face, and she couldn't recover for a long time.
Su Yu sneered, "If I hadn't been hurt, how could the young master dislike me! If he was someone he could trust, I would have no problem being his concubine, but I happened to discover his affair with Cui Lan, and the young master's wife was hostile to me, so I decisively gave up the position of concubine. Will you blame me?"
Wan shook her head subconsciously, came back to her senses, and suddenly grabbed Su Yu's hand excitedly, "My dear daughter, you are still clear-headed. I claim to be smart, but I am not as clear-sighted as you. Since you said so, let's do it!"
Wan clenched her fists and made up her mind.
After being shocked, Su Chuan said nothing, which obviously showed his agreement.
Seeing that they listened to her advice, Su Yu felt relieved. She stood up and took out ten taels of silver from the secret compartment of her dressing table and gave them to Wan.
Wan was shocked again, "These are all your dowry, what are you doing to me? Collect them quickly!"
Su Yu forced the silver into Wan's pocket and said angrily, "Most of my dowry was saved by you, my father, and my elder brother. My husband's family has made a lot of money in the past two years, and my husband often gives me some money to buy rouge and powder, which I secretly saved.
You have seen the situation in the village. There is no place to spend money. I have all the materials for women's jewelry. My cousin also gave me a lot of soft fabrics, which saved me money to buy silk cloth for the children, thus saving another large sum of money.
You will need more money when you return home to deal with social situations."
It was her whole family that helped her leave the Bai Mansion, and it was her parents and elder brother who made careful plans for her that led to her current situation. Naturally, she had to consider her natal family more.
Mrs. Wan also knew that what her daughter said was true, so she could only accept the money with a flattering face.
That day, Su Chunsen rushed back to the county with his wife and children. The family entered the county late at night, but did not go directly back to Bai Mansion. Instead, they went to Yong'an Lane to find Ke Yunyun first.
It was the New Year's Day, and Mrs. Zhang, who served Ke Yunyun, didn't get much money. In addition, Zhu Yixuan was busy at the end of the year and had not come for the past few days, so she didn't pay much attention to Ke Yunyun.
I was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night. I heard a knock on the door and thought it was Zhu Yixuan. I quickly got up and opened the door. Unexpectedly, I saw Wan who had been there once before. She immediately frowned and asked, "What are you doing in the middle of the night? Can't you let me sleep?"
"Sorry, sorry, we just came back from our hometown. We have something to give to Yunyun and some words to tell her, so we came here first." Wan smiled awkwardly and took out twenty cents and stuffed it into Mrs. Zhang's pocket.
Mrs. Zhang's face finally looked better. She stepped aside to let them in. "You guys go in and sit for a while. I don't know if the girl has been missing home these days. She's not in a good mood. If you can see me, please tell me on our girl's behalf and ask me to come over and see her."
Although she looked down on Ke Yunyun being someone else's mistress, this mistress was now her master. If the male master did not come and he fell out of favor, she would suffer as well.
Mrs. Wan nodded awkwardly, and the family of three sat down and remained silent.
Mrs. Zhang curled her lips, turned around and went back to sleep, ignoring them.
The three of them began to doze off as they sat there, until Xiaoxi, who was beside Ke Yunyun, came over and woke them up.
"Auntie, when did you come? So early in the morning?" Xiaoxi looked shocked.
Wan brought up the words she had said to Mrs. Zhang yesterday.
Xiaoxi didn't dare to delay and hurried to the backyard to wake up Ke Yunyun.
When Ke Yunyun came out after washing up, she didn't see Mrs. Zhang. She seemed to be used to it and didn't ask any questions. She just called out obediently, "My uncle and aunt should have woken me up. I suffered here last night!"
She wondered why Su Chunsen and his family didn't return to the Bai Mansion, but she was sensible enough not to ask.
Wan quickly moved the things out and said as if presenting a treasure: "It's not easy for us to go back to the village this time. It just so happens that your parents left something for you, so we brought it all here. We were worried that the master would interrogate us when we returned to the mansion, so we just came directly to your place and leave later."
