Between the extreme joy and sorrow, Aunt He's brain was already difficult to stay awake. She kept thinking about what had just happened, and she only hated Wu Xin in her heart. If he hadn't been so talkative, how could she have been kicked out of the medicine shop?
Su Chenyu waved her hand wearily, "Madam Xu, let them go."
Wu Xin and Aunt He retreated and walked to a deserted place. Aunt He looked at Wu Xin fiercely: "Wu Xin, your move was really cruel."
Wu Xin said coldly: "Aunt He, after all these troubles, the Second Madam tolerated you, wasn't it because you were the Old Madam's person? What you are doing now is repaying the Second Madam with enmity."
"This medicine store belongs to the Lili family, but the second wife is temporarily in charge of it. Who is repaying kindness with enmity by using the Lili family's medicine store to support your Yao family's people?"
"The old lady and the second lady are both from the Yao family!"
Aunt He's smile was filled with contempt: "If it weren't for the old lady, how could the second lady enter the Lili family? Even if they have the same surname Yao, it would be different."
Wu Xin naturally knew what Aunt He meant. When the old lady married the old Duke of Zhenguo, the old Duke of Zhenguo was still a nobody, and no one had ever thought that such a person would achieve anything great in the future.
In order to marry the old Duke Zhenguo, the old lady even severed her relationship with the Yao family.
But no one expected that a young man like him would join the army and make great military achievements. When facing the Beirong army, he cut off the head of the Beirong general and led the army to defend the northwest, for which he was named the Duke of Zhenguo.
It was from that time that the Yao family slowly repaired their relationship with the old lady. But how could the existing cracks be healed so easily?
Wu Xin's father was close to the old man of the Yao family, so he knew all these past events. But if we listen to Aunt He, she also knew these things.
Wu Xin originally thought that Aunt He was just someone the old lady had casually planted in the medicine shop, and was not important. But now it seems that this Aunt He is actually a confidant that the old lady trusts very much, and he and the second wife were careless.
Thinking of this, Wu Xin quickened his pace to leave the pharmacy.
Wutong walked out from the darkness and overheard the conversation between the two.
When they arrived at the side room, Wutong told Su Chenyu what she had heard. Su Chenyu did not react and just asked her to get off first.
Su Chenyu also knew something about the old lady and the old Duke of Zhenguo, so she asked Li Liyanqing directly: "The old Duke of Zhenguo is also a hero among men. Even if he was down and out when he was young, he wouldn't be so ignorant of people, right?"
Li Liyanqing sighed: "Zu Yu is a straightforward person. Once he marries a woman, he will take responsibility for her for the rest of her life. So even if he doesn't like the old lady, he made sure that she was the only one in the back house for the rest of her life, and gave her the dignity and respect she deserved."
This family affair was a past event that no one in the Lili Mansion wanted to mention. Facing Su Chenyu, Lili Yanqing did not hide anything.
A few decades ago, the Yao family's business was not doing well, so they planned to marry the old lady to a man in his sixties as a concubine. The old lady fell in love with the old Duke of Zhenguo who worked as a guard for the Yao family, but was rejected. The old lady was drugged before she got together with the old Duke of Zhenguo.
Afterwards, although the old Duke Zhenguo did not like the old lady, he still took her away from the Yao family. Fearing that the Yao family would force her to become a concubine again, the old lady insisted on severing ties with the Yao family.
Su Chenyu really didn't expect there was such an old story: "This old lady is so shameless when she is young? She just wants to use Zu Xu to escape from the sea of suffering, and she even claims that she broke off relations with the Yao family in order to marry Zu Xu!"
