Chapter 58: Full of Calculations
Madam Xu didn't care about the old lady's expression and directly told her about Yuefangzhai.
After hearing this, the old lady was fully aware that Baili Yu didn't want Baili Qiuhong to go to the Imperial College, so he found an excuse to chop off his hand and end his career.
What a short-sighted thing!
"Old Madam, it was you who begged the Master to support Baili Qiuhong's family, and that's why the Master recommended Baili Qiuhong to the Imperial College. If you don't like him, you can just say so. There's no need to hurt the Master's kindness like this."
Nanny Xu left this sentence and left.
Baili Yu saw that she had fallen, so he tried to get up from the ground. Just when he was halfway up, the old lady hit him on the back with her cane: "You bastard, who told you to attack Baili Qiuhong?"
Yao heard about what happened in the mansion and rushed over. She happened to hear the old lady's questioning, so she immediately spoke up to defend Baili Yu: "Dear, this is all my idea, don't blame Yu'er. Baili Qiuhong entered the Imperial College and surpassed Yu'er in the future. What should we do?"
"Are you stupid? No matter how powerful Baili Qiuhong becomes, he is still your illegitimate son. Isn't it easy to control an illegitimate son? How can Aunt Rong ignore him?" The old lady was very disappointed. "It's not you who decides his marriage. When the time comes, you can help him choose a wife. He will have to listen to you for the rest of his life. What good will it do you if you destroy him one day?"
Yao was just a merchant's daughter, so how could she understand all these twists and turns? After hearing what the old lady said, she felt regretful: "Then dear, what should we do now?"
"I still say that, you are the legitimate heir, and his marriage is still in your hands, what are you afraid of?" Seeing Yao's expression, the old lady regretted not choosing a wife with a better family background for Baili Ting. Now it was too late to regret.
Madam Xu returned to Beiyuan and reported the matter to Su Chenyu: "The old lady is very smart. I'm afraid she is trying to find a way to control the child now."
"Send someone to spread the news of what happened in Yuefangzhai on that day." Su Chenyu knew clearly that there was a clear distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. If Baili Qiuhong was disrespectful to the Yao family in the future, he would probably be caught. But if the legitimate daughter and the legitimate son could not tolerate him, that would be another matter.
After giving the instructions, Nanny Xu left.
Baili Yanqing placed the peeled pecan kernels next to Su Chenyu: "You've been tired all day, eat some walnut kernels, they're your favorite."
Su Chenyu was like a little hamster, eating very contentedly. Seeing her like this, Baili Yanqing couldn't help but smile: "The Lantern Festival will be in a few days, let's go out and play in the evening."
When the Lantern Festival was mentioned, Su Chenyu's eyes lit up: "Okay."
In the evening, after they finished their dinner and washed up, they prepared to rest.
Seeing Baili Yanqing's eyes, Su Chenyu subconsciously wrapped herself in the quilt: "Be good tonight and don't touch me, or you can go to the study to sleep."
It was because Baili Yanqing had been so careless these past few nights that she had to sleep until noon every day. Wanting to tease her for getting up later and later, Su Chenyu simply stretched out her foot and wanted to kick Baili Yanqing off the bed.
But Baili Yanqing grabbed her slender ankle and she couldn't break free.
Then, Baili Yanqing pressed directly on her, reached his hand into the quilt and tickled her waist.
Su Chenyu was ticklish, so when he tickled her, she laughed, "You're so mean, stay away from me."
"We've only been married for three days, and you're already dissatisfied with me. It seems like I still need to work harder as your husband."
She has tried so hard now. If she tries harder, Su Chenyu is worried whether she can still get up from the bed: "Bai Li Yanqing, why didn't I realize that you are such a person before?"
The two of them had a fight on the bed, and just when Su Chenyu was about to surrender, they heard hurried footsteps. Aunt Xu said through the door, "Master, Prince Consort, there's news from the palace that Su Cen has run away."
