Chapter 118 Something's Wrong
Wan grinned and said, "What are you afraid of! Your father and I are not in the house. If you go out with your brother-in-law, we won't have the chance to harm her!"
Su Chuan couldn't understand Wan's plan, and Wan didn't want to explain it to him. She just told him a few things and left.
The next day, Wan came to Qiufeng Courtyard with some things. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Qiuju holding a tray. She hurried forward and greeted her politely, "Miss Qiuju, is our Ahchuan here?"
Qiu Ju's eyes fell on the food box in Wan's hand. She shook her head and spoke softly, tickling the hearts of others like a feather. "Aunt, you came at an untimely time. Su Chuan is out doing something for the young master. Do you have anything to give him?"
Wan happily sat under the eaves and took a breath, saying, "It's nothing serious. My daughter just gave birth to a big fat boy. My son-in-law and his family are so happy that they treat her like an ancestor and give her everything she wants. Look, my son-in-law even came over to tell us the good news. I was thinking that all the masters in the mansion would go to the temple to worship Buddha tomorrow.
The eldest young master doesn't need Achuan to serve him, so it's a good opportunity for him to take his brother-in-law out for a walk, buy some snacks that Xiaoyu likes, and then send him away. This will take most of the day, and I wonder if the eldest young master can agree to it?
Alas! The reality is that we are not free at all when serving others. If only we could be like Miss Qiuju, at least we wouldn't have to look at other people's faces everywhere. No more, no more. I still have to go and deliver nourishing soup to my precious daughter-in-law. I have to let the eldest young lady and the eldest young master know that I love my daughter-in-law, otherwise the eldest young lady will teach me a lesson again.
You don’t know, even the Madam gave me a bad face because I neglected Cuilan. Maybe after Cuilan’s baby is born, the masters will treat me with a better face. It’s really hard to be a mother-in-law like me!”
Wan successfully saw the unconcealable jealousy in Qiuju's eyes, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised. When she saw that it was almost time, she said goodbye to Qiuju.
As soon as Mrs. Wan left, Qiuju went to the study room with a tray, glanced at the man on the desk, and lowered her eyes, "Master, Su Chuan's mother just came over and said that she wanted Su Chuan to take Su Yu's husband out shopping tomorrow."
Young Master Bai looked tense. He wrote the last stroke without even looking at Qiu Ju, and said with a contemptuous attitude, "If he wants to go, he can go. He is just a nobody. Only they treat him as a proper relative. It's ridiculous!"
Qiu Ju silently put down the tray and respectfully stepped aside, without responding to Young Master Bai's words.
Young Master Bai didn't get any response, so he frowned and glanced at Qiu Ju impatiently, "What a blockhead! Only this body is okay, but I can't compare to you, I really can't compare to you at all!"
Qiu Ju's face turned pale and her whole body was trembling slightly, but she didn't dare show it.
Young Master Bai probably still felt that it was not enough, and after a while, he ordered: "Didn't you have a good relationship with Cuilan before? She is about to give birth, so you should take care of her more and have someone to talk to, so that she won't become a wooden man if she is locked up in the yard."
Qiu Ju couldn't believe what she heard. She rubbed her lower lip and replied in a trembling voice: "I obey your command."
After noon, Qiu Ju saw that Su Chuan was going out with Master Bai, so she secretly approached him and begged, "I haven't been feeling well lately and need to buy some medicine, but I don't want Master Bai to know. Could you please run a trip for me?"
After a brief pause, Su Chuan suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said, "I'm not sure where the young master is going. If it's really inconvenient for you, you can write a note and give it to the beggar at the back door and ask them to help you run the trip."
It was Awang who told him about this matter. All the maids and servants in the mansion knew about it, but the maids and servants who were prominent were unaware of it, and the master was even more confused.
Qiuju was dissatisfied with Su Chuan's evasion, but she had no time left, so she could only forcefully pull the corners of her mouth to say thank you.
Su Chuan looked at her leaving back with a deep look in his eyes.
The next morning, Su Chunsen took the master and some servants of the mansion to Wanfo Temple. Su Chuan also left the mansion early and behaved as usual.
The streets were bustling with people early in the morning, and the aroma of various foods wafted through the air.
Su Chuan took Su Sheng to an old dim sum shop and said, "This shop is only open for business for half a day. Their mung bean cakes and five-nut cakes are very good, with thin skin and large fillings. Especially the mung bean cakes, which are dense, smooth and sweet. Women like them very much.
But the mung bean cakes are not to be missed. I will take you to find the way and buy some to try. You can come here early tomorrow morning to buy some before going back."
Su Sheng looked at the store carefully and nodded repeatedly, "I'll remember that and come over tomorrow."
Su Sheng bought some for Su Chuan. After they had a few bites, they went to the next restaurant. They ran around like this for the whole morning and visited almost all the good restaurants in the county.
At noon, Su Chuan took Su Sheng to a restaurant. They ordered a few dishes and a small pot of wine. They ate comfortably for half an hour, and then went to a teahouse to sober up and listen to music. It was so pleasant.
Su Sheng was also enlightened.
As the two were talking, Awang suddenly ran in breathlessly and grabbed Su Chuan, "Finally I found you, hurry back, something happened!"
Su Chuan's expression changed, and he quickly stood up, "What's the matter? The master came back early?"
"Oh my! What master? It's Cuilan, your wife! She, she, she, she had a miscarriage!" Awang slapped his thigh, feeling sorry for Su Chuan. "I heard that the baby was a boy. How did it end like this?"
Su Chuan was in a trance for a moment.
Su Sheng was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he was at a loss, "Brother-in-law, go back and take a look, do you want me to go with you?"
Su Chuan came back to his senses, patted Su Sheng on the shoulder, and smiled comfortingly, "It's okay, go back to the inn to rest first, buy some snacks tomorrow morning and go back. I may not be able to see you off."
Su Sheng was frightened and his mind was in a mess. He could only listen to Su Chuan.
As soon as Su Chuan returned to the mansion, he was dragged away by a group of old women to see Cuilan. The courtyard outside the house was in a mess, and it was full of gossipy servants. They dispersed only when they saw Su Chuan coming back.
As soon as Su Chuan entered the room, he saw Cuilan lying on the bed with a pale face and bloodshot eyes. He walked forward and asked the person who was taking care of Cuilan to leave. Then he asked, "What happened?"
Cuilan threw the medicine bowl at him in anger, "You still want to talk! Is it you? Is it you who killed my son?"
Su Chuan frowned, standing still, speaking calmly, "I understand that you are unhappy, but it is not a reason to accuse others! You know whether we have done anything to harm you or not! We are not afraid even if the young master investigates us.
As for you, the master has not asked you to serve him since you became pregnant. The food and things you use are all good. The servants in the mansion say that you are like half a master. In this situation, you still can't protect the baby in your belly. Have you ever thought about how to explain to the master?"
