Chapter 323: Fourth Brother Must Be Last
It was still warm in Xiangzhou. When we entered the Jiangnan area, we immediately felt that it was not as cold as in Kyoto. The wind in Kyoto felt a little tighter when blowing on our faces.
Su Wan and Su Yi arrived at the house one night, and when they came back, they caught their family off guard.
Su's mother was afraid that Su Wan would catch a cold, so she immediately asked someone in the kitchen to make ginger sugar tea and prepare hot water for her to bathe.
This time, Su Yun did not act like he did last time when he came back from Zhongzhou. He kept surrounding Su Wan and asked her:
"Su Wan, is Kyoto good?"
"Have you seen any high-ranking official?"
"What are the restaurants in Kyoto like? Are the meals cooked in Chenglou any better?"
"And Big Brother, how's his dam going?"
He was really noisy, asking so many questions at once that Su Wan didn't know which one to answer first, until Su's mother twisted Su Yun's ear and lectured him:
"You little idiot, didn't you know your sister just came back? If you have any questions, can't you ask them tomorrow? You're such a grown-up, and you don't know anything. You're a boss after all."
"Oh, mother, it hurts, please be gentle, I know I was wrong."
Su Yun hurriedly begged for mercy, and Su Wan looked at him helplessly. Fourth brother's temper was too impulsive. When would fourth sister-in-law come and teach him a lesson?
Mother Su let go of Su Yun and immediately put on a gentle expression and tone towards her daughter:
“My dear, tell your mother, is Third Miss Shen okay? Is she really as beautiful as in the portrait?”
Su Wan was embarrassed. He had just not allowed his fourth brother to ask, but now he asked it himself. Su Yun rubbed his ears and complained:
"You're still talking about me, but I'm the same!"
Su's mother immediately gave Su Yun a glare, and he became obedient.
"Mother, do you still not believe in Fifth Brother's skills? The portraits he draws look just like the real person. Third Miss Shen is even more beautiful in person. She's gentle as water, well-educated, virtuous, and proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry. Don't forget that she's the legitimate daughter of the Grand Secretary of the current dynasty. Who is a Grand Secretary? He's the most learned minister of the first rank in the entire Jin Kingdom, the kind of person whose students are all over the world. How could the daughter he raised be any worse?"
Su Wan was still willing to answer Su's mother's question first. After a few words, he praised Shen Qingli to the sky, but it was all the truth and not an exaggeration.
When Mother Su heard this, she immediately clasped her hands together, her face full of relief, her eyes red, and she was crying with joy:
"God bless our Su family, may good fortune come to us and everything go smoothly!"
Father Su is also happy that his eldest son can marry such a good daughter-in-law in the future. It is a blessing from his previous life. He thinks that marrying such a good daughter-in-law will bring prosperity to three generations of the family.
Su Wan drank ginger sugar tea, took a nice hot bath, and took a nap before waking up.
On the way back to the room, Su Yun and Su Yi were fighting. Su Yun kept mocking Su Yi by saying his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes:
"Some people are so clever, they'll stick with Wanwan whenever they get the chance."
While he was busy with Chenglou's business, she left him alone in Xiangzhou to face everything. He was a good person, accompanying Wanwan every day and asking about her well-being.
"Fourth brother, if you have the ability, you can do this, if you can let go of Chenglou." Su Yi is not someone who can be bullied.
What he meant was that I would give up my career for Wanwan, and you should do the same if you have the ability.
Su Yun was so angry that he couldn't refute it. After holding it in for a long time, he finally said:
"What do you know? I work so hard just to make life better for my family. Let me tell you, in the half year since you were away, my Chenglou has earned tens of thousands of taels." Su Yun's tone was full of pride.
Su Yi had to admit that Su Yun was indeed talented in food.
"Our family is already very good, you are just the icing on the cake!"
No matter how to make Su Yun furious, Su Yi has the absolute right to say. Look, someone is so angry that he is about to smoke.
Su Yun snorted coldly and continued to sarcastically say:
"Adding icing on the cake is also a good word. Some people are so proud now. They spend so much time with Wanwan and have all the attention. Now Wanwan's favorite brother must have become you. You are really scheming!"
Su Yi disagrees with this:
"Fourth brother, you're wrong. Wanwan's favorite brother will always be the eldest brother. You must be the last one. I don't know who it is. When Wanwan just came back, you hurt her the most. Some scars grow in the heart and are difficult to heal."
Su Yi kills people and breaks their hearts, and he brings up all sorts of issues.
But he is right. In Wanwan's heart, the brother who ranks first will always be the eldest brother, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Su Yun was so angry that his eyes turned red:
"No, I was ignorant before. I've already apologized, and Wanwan has forgiven me. I'm not the last one in line!"
Su Yi had already walked to the door of his room. He pushed the door open and went in.
"I'm here, fourth brother. I'm tired from the journey, so I'm going to sleep first. Have a good dream too." Su Yi acted like nothing had happened, which made Su Yun lose his mind.
Su Yun was destined to be sleepless tonight. He kept thinking about Su Yi's words. What should he do? Could it be that Wan Wan really had a thorn in her heart? She didn't care about him on the surface, but she still minded in her heart?
Su Wan himself didn't know and was still sleeping soundly.
The next morning, when she opened the door, Su Yun's haggard face came into view, which frightened her. She patted her chest to calm herself down:
"Fourth brother, who are you trying to scare so early in the morning?"
There were dark circles under Su Yun's eyes, as if he hadn't slept all night.
Su Yun put his hand on Su Wan's shoulder and said earnestly:
"Wanwan, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have treated you like that before. Can you forgive me? I really know I was wrong. I was ignorant and hurt you before!"
Su Yun's eyes were red and filled with tears, and he looked quite pitiful.
Su Wan's heart skipped a beat. She reached out and touched Su Yun's forehead, which was icy cold.
"You don't have a fever. What's wrong with you, Fourth Brother? Did anyone say anything to you?"
This was all old news, why was he still thinking about it? He chose this morning to apologize to her solemnly.
"Wanwan, I'm not sick. Some people say that some scars grow on the heart and are difficult to heal. I treated you so badly before and said so many unpleasant things. Are you still taking it to heart?"
As soon as Su Wan heard it, he knew that it was the fifth brother who said it. The fifth brother was the best at hurting people's hearts. However, seeing the look on the fourth brother's face, Su Wan felt quite relieved. He did feel pain in his heart when he thought about it before, but after today, it really healed.
"I haven't cared about it for a long time. Fourth brother, don't worry about it either. When we were young, I could understand you. Isn't everything fine now? I never took it to heart. It doesn't constitute a scar for me because I have a strong heart!"
Su Wan used to think that Su Yun was ignorant, but now it is all over and he can see the changes in him.
Su Yun then let go of her shoulders and said aggrievedly:
"Then I don't want to be the last brother in your heart..."
