Chapter 280 Knowing
Madam Bai didn't say anything. After a moment's silence, she said, "Wait until I recover from my illness before taking back the housekeeper's power. You will still be the most respected nanny in the Bai Mansion."
"Thank you, ma'am!" Nanny Li felt better and cheered herself up, secretly thinking about how to get back at her.
Bai Feng was buried with great ceremony, and the news naturally spread.
Su Changfu received the news from Liu Tiechui and told Su Chunsen about the situation when he returned.
Su Chunsen's family was preparing to spend the winter in seclusion, and when they heard about this, they felt somewhat uneasy.
"I didn't expect him to die like this." Su Chunsen looked at Su Chuan and patted his shoulder. "Dad knows that I have always hated him. Forget about the Bai family's affairs in the future!"
"Dad, I understand." Su Chuan's face turned serious, but his hands under his sleeves gradually clenched. The way he wanted to take revenge on Bai Feng was to climb up step by step, step on Bai Feng under his feet, and return the humiliation that the Bai family had given him in the past. He didn't want Bai Feng to die like this.
After Bai Feng died, he seemed to have lost his target, and there was more confusion in his eyes.
Wan, who was standing by, whispered, "Bai Feng is Madam Bai's lifeblood. I have served Madam Bai for so many years and I know how much she dotes on this son. Now that her only precious son is gone, she must be going crazy!"
Su Chunsen sighed, but he was thinking about Master Bai. After all, Master Bai was very good to him and never punished him openly. It was unknown whether Master Bai could hold on when the old man sent the young away.
Su Chunsen's family is concerned about the Bai family.
Su Tai also welcomed Ma Xingteng and his wife.
The couple had just returned from the county town. They hadn't even had two days to rest at home before they ran to her place and brought a bunch of things.
"What are you doing?" Su Tai was confused.
Bai Rong held Su Tai's hand, unable to stop expressing gratitude, "Thank you for your help some time ago. The matter of Ringo has been suppressed. I was originally worried that I would not be able to explain to my father, but I didn't expect that when I returned to my parents' home for the funeral, my father actually took the initiative to comfort us. He also said that crops depend on God, and if God is not happy, there will be no good harvest, so we don't need to be too depressed.
At that moment, I almost suspected that my father was possessed by some ghost. It was not like him at all. I knew that he had also heard about the reason why Ringo did not produce good fruit, and he believed it. It was all my sister's fault. "
Su Tai quickly shook her head modestly and asked, "Did someone in your mother's family die?"
Bai Rong sighed, with a complex emotion in her eyes, "It was my eldest brother who died in battle. It's normal that you didn't know about it in the village. After my eldest brother's death, my stepmother also fell ill. My father seems to be much more lenient than before, and he has become much kinder to us illegitimate children."
Su Tai's heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "How did your eldest brother die? Wasn't he with the eldest young master of the Zhu family?"
Bai Rong shook her head. "My eldest brother is indeed with the eldest young master of the Zhu family. When I went back to my parents' home, I heard from my aunt that my stepmother was angry with the Zhu family because of my eldest brother's death. Madam Zhu brought a group of people to my stepmother's house to argue with her. Now the power of the Bai family's inner house has fallen into the hands of my eldest sister-in-law. Unfortunately, my eldest sister-in-law has no children. I'm afraid this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will have a quarrel."
The commotion in the Bai family is also good for her. At least no one will remember her as a concubine's daughter, and she will feel less pressure.
Bai Rong and her husband sat with Su Tai for a while and then left. Before leaving, they gave each of Shen Yuezhang and the others a red envelope.
Shen Yuezhang and his younger brothers and sisters obediently accepted the gifts and expressed their gratitude.
Bai Rong was so happy when she saw this that she praised the children a few more times before leaving.
The gate of the courtyard is closed.
Su Tai immediately led the four children into the house and asked, "Why are there no classes today?"
Shen Yuezhang stuck out his tongue, and coquettishly walked forward to hold Su Tai's arm, "We heard that there were guests at home, so we came to see them. Anyway, we already know everything the teacher taught us, so it doesn't matter if we practice calligraphy for a while."
"Hmph! Don't think I don't know that you are here for the benefits!" Su Tai looked at the four mischievous children with a headache.
Ever since Ma Xingteng and Bai came and brought them some gadgets last time, everyone remembered the couple and saw that the Ma family's carriage ran more actively than anyone else.
Shen Congrong quickly shook his head, “Mom, don’t get me wrong, it’s mainly because my aunt has been sick these days, and the teacher is often distracted during class, always absent-minded, and doesn’t care about us, so we dared to run back, not only us but other children have gone home as well.”
"Huh? What does your aunt's illness have to do with Mr. Tang?" Su Tai raised her eyebrows and looked at the children in surprise.
Shen Yuezhang leaned close to Su Tai's ear and said mysteriously, "My cousin said he wanted Mr. Tang to be his father. Now he doesn't even call me godfather, but Mr. Tang. Mr. Tang didn't say anything. My brother and I guess that Mr. Tang really wants to be a father to my cousin. Moreover, Mr. Tang cares about my aunt very much. Sometimes people in the village give him things.
The master asked my cousin to take it back to my aunt. Others don’t know the details, but we know it! The master never gave us anything to bring back to my mother. "
Su Tai couldn't help laughing, but she scolded him with a stern face: "Don't criticize the adults' affairs, and don't let your imagination run wild. The master is Kang Cheng's godfather and his father in public. If he gave the things to your aunt, no one would suspect anything. If you keep talking nonsense, I won't forgive you!"
Shen Yuezhang and Shen Congrong looked at each other and quickly admitted their mistakes and apologized.
The twins next to them saw their older brother and sister being scolded. They were usually as naughty as monkeys, but now they were more obedient than the other.
Su Tai just thought it was funny, but didn't care. She just stared at the two older ones sternly and asked, "Have you learned all the arithmetic that your mother taught you? If not, go and practice. If you have, come to me for a test. If you pass, I'll make you beef hotpot tonight. If not, you can only eat porridge tonight."
The two children's pupils dilated instantly and they excitedly ran to the study to practice.
Su Tai packed up the two kids and took them to the backyard of the cellar to find Ke Yunyun.
When Xiaoxi saw the children, she immediately took them to another room to eat.
Su Tai walked into the room and saw that Ke Yunyun was in good spirits, so she breathed a sigh of relief and sat down. "Just now, Mr. Ma and his wife came to visit us. They came back from the Bai family to attend the funeral. Bai Feng has died."
Ke Yunyun's eyes suddenly widened, "Bai Feng? Isn't that Zhu Yixuan's brother-in-law? Is he dead? Where is Zhu Yixuan?"
Seeing her worried, Su Tai tried to comfort her, "Zhu Yixuan is fine. It seems that the Zhu family and the Bai family have had a rift because of this incident. Bai Feng doesn't have a legitimate son, and I don't know how the Bai family will arrange things in the future. I want you to pay close attention to the Bai family's movements in the future because of Kang Cheng's identity, so that you can have a better idea."
Ke Yunyun's tense body gradually relaxed, and she lay back down again, smiling, "Thank you, cousin. Zhu Yixuan is a capable man. I believe he will come back alive."
No matter what will happen to them in the future, at least Zhu Yixuan and Madam Zhu take good care of them now. Not only do they arrange a teacher for her son, they also give her one thousand taels every year. She appreciates their kindness and hopes that the Zhu family will be well.
