Chapter 49 Su Yu's Experience
Han asked, "Brother, sister-in-law and Xiaoyu didn't come back with you?"
Su Chunsen retracted his gaze, with a gentle smile on his face. "Tomorrow is the first day of the first lunar month. Madam is going to the temple to worship Buddha. The child's mother has to go with her. She really can't come. Originally, my father and I couldn't go out either. It was the master who showed us grace and let us rest for two days. However, we can only stay for one night. We have to rush back early tomorrow morning."
"This..." Su Chunlin didn't understand the point of coming back in such a hurry.
Han's face tensed up, and she hurriedly said, "Brother, Achuan, please sit down first. I'll make noodles for you."
Ruan Xiaoyu stood up immediately and said, "Aunt, I'll go help."
Su Chunsen looked at Ruan Xiaoyu's back in surprise, "Who is this?"
Su Chunlin explained hurriedly, "We found a young wife for Azhan. She fled to our village with her grandfather. Her grandfather didn't make it and passed away. The little girl couldn't survive on her own, so we brought her back. She is diligent and sensible."
Su Chunsen nodded with satisfaction, "As long as he is sensible and diligent, it can be regarded as solving a big problem."
"Yes, yes, I thought so too." Su Chunlin smiled from ear to ear.
Su Tai, who was standing next to him, looked at Su Chuan and said, "Cousin, if my aunt can't come back, can't my cousin come back either?"
When Su Yu was mentioned, Su Chuan's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Su Chunsen.
Su Chunlin knew something was wrong as soon as he saw it, and he immediately became anxious, "What's going on? What happened?"
Su Chunsen hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth and said, "Actually, I came back with Ah Chuan today because I want to ask you for help with something."
"Just tell me what's the matter, brother. You're still being polite to me, we're brothers!" Su Chunlin was a little unhappy.
Han, who was busy in the kitchen, also pricked up her ears to listen.
Su Chunsen smiled with relief and sighed, "I won't hide the fact that Xiaoyu is from the family. Xiaoyu was originally serving the eldest lady, but she was favored by the eldest young master. The eldest young master wanted to take her in as his concubine and mentioned it to his wife a long time ago. His wife also told us about it.
This matter was not a secret at all in the Bai Mansion.
Everything was fine. Xiaoyu was going to live with the eldest young master after the eldest young lady got married. But who could have thought that there would be an unexpected event. On the way back from worshipping Buddha at the Wanfo Temple with the eldest young lady, the carriage slipped. In order to protect the eldest young lady, she fell out of the carriage and injured her face, which was disfigured.
"What! My eldest niece's face is disfigured?" Su Chunlin stood up in shock.
Su Chunsen motioned for him to calm down and pulled him back to the stool, "These are not the most important things. After all, we are slaves. Since we have sold ourselves to the master, our lives belong to the master. It's good enough that our lives are still there even if our appearance is broken. But the eldest master dislikes Xiaoyu because of her injury and doesn't want her anymore.
Although the eldest lady was grateful to Xiaoyu, she was about to get married, and she couldn't keep a disfigured maid by her side, as she would be criticized by her husband's family. The lady naturally had to follow the eldest young master's wishes, but she had spread the news early, and it would be inappropriate to assign Xiaoyu to other stewards now, and the matter became difficult.
The master probably felt sorry for our family, so he allowed Ah Chuan and I to come back for two days during the New Year."
"Why does this child have such a miserable life!" Su Chunlin's eyes instantly turned red.
Su Tai had never expected that her beautiful cousin would end up like this. She felt a little upset. "Uncle, have Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai said anything about how to arrange for my cousin?"
Su Chunsen looked at Su Tai with appreciation and nodded, "Madam did say that Xiaoyu was injured to protect the eldest lady, so he must be rewarded heavily, otherwise it will chill the hearts of other servants, but the eldest young master is the lifeblood of Madam, and Madam will never wrong her son.
The eldest lady couldn't take Xiaoyu to her husband's house, and it would be awkward for her to stay in the Bai Mansion. So the lady talked to the child's mother and suggested that she return Xiaoyu's indenture contract to her and give her a sum of money so that she could leave the house and get married. If Xiaoyu didn't want to leave the Bai family, she could be brought to the lady's side as a maid.
Of course, Madam would prefer us to choose the first option. After all, the young master often has to go to Madam's courtyard to pay respects, and Madam is also afraid that Xiaoyu's presence will make the young master unhappy. "
After Su Chunsen finished speaking, he silently observed the reactions of his brother's family, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Unexpectedly, Su Tai stood up excitedly and said without thinking: "Do I need to choose? I finally have a chance to escape from slavery, so of course I have to choose the first one!"
Su Chunlin nodded in agreement, "Xiao Tai is right. Although the Bai Mansion is good, we are not the masters. Our lives are in the hands of others. Although we can't live a rich life when we come back, we have a house and food now, so she will definitely not starve.
Besides, Xiaoyu grew up in a wealthy family and has broad vision. It's just that his appearance is disfigured, so he will definitely be able to find a good family.
Big brother, when you go back, tell Xiaoyu to leave Bai Mansion and return to the village. I will support her!"
Han came over with the noodles and looked at Su Chunlin as soon as she entered the door, "Dad, go back with your elder brother and the others tomorrow to pick up Xiaoyu."
"Thank you very much, sister-in-law." Su Chunsen quickly stood up and was very grateful to Han.
With Han's words, he finally felt relieved.
Han waved her hands and said, "We are a family, and we should help each other. We don't lack rooms at home, and I will prepare one for Xiaoyu later."
Su Tai thought about it and then said, "Mom, I'll go with Dad, and I can take care of my cousin on the way."
Han hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
Before dawn the next day, Su Tai and his daughter got on the carriage that Su Chunsen had brought back and headed for the county town.
This was Su Tai's first time riding in a horse carriage. It was so bumpy that she had no time to think. Fortunately, this thing was faster than an ox cart, and they arrived at the county town just after noon.
Su Chunsen sent Su Chunlin and his daughter to the inn before taking Su Chuan back home.
The father and son first went to pay their respects to Mr. Bai before returning to their own residence.
When Mrs. Wan saw them coming back, she stood up anxiously and asked, "How is it? What did my uncle's family say?"
Su Chuan nodded quickly, "Mom, my uncle and aunt are both very easy to talk to. When they knew about my sister's situation, they asked us to send her back to the village. My uncle and Xiaotai even came to pick her up in person."
Wan breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned around and went to Su Yu's room.
"Girl, your father has already talked to your uncle. Your uncle is willing to take you in. If you have really thought it through, I will report to the madam right away." Wan touched Su Yu's hair lovingly, suppressing the thousands of thoughts in her heart.
Su Yu turned over and sat up, putting the veil on her face, with a determined light in her eyes, "Mom, I have already made up my mind, I want to leave Bai Mansion!"
Wan looked at her daughter deeply, nodded slightly and left.
