Chapter 4: Keeping Together for Warmth
When we left the city, the sun was shining brightly.
The whole team was lifeless and everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts.
Lin Hua was a person whose emotions came and went quickly. Seeing Chen Nan not saying a word, she couldn't help but ask:
"Sister Nan, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about the future."
"What's there to think about? Let's just take it one step at a time. Can a living person be suffocated to death by urine?"
Chen Nan burst out laughing, admiring her optimism.
Lin Hua has a sense of relaxation that she doesn't have, which is why she is willing to be Lin Hua's best friend.
Chen Nan grew up in an orphanage. She has understood the law of the jungle since she was a child. Especially after entering the entertainment industry as an agent, she fought for resources all the way.
So she felt very insecure at the moment and was eager to regain the familiar initiative.
According to her observations along the way, the customs of this world are not very civilized, especially the status of women among the people is very low.
Because there are very few women walking on the road.
Only in the dark corners of the streets there are some ladies selling vegetables and fruits. But they all kept their heads down and didn't even dare to shout out loudly.
This situation is obviously completely different from the TV drama scripts that Chen Nan helps his artists to take on.
After thinking it over, she pulled Lin Hua over and said seriously:
"Ahua, we still can't leave."
"What?" She was stunned.
"Even if the Su family has fallen, the people's hearts are still there! It is better for us to stick together with the Su family than to fight alone and hide our identities."
"So I must secure my position as the head of the family and make the Su family our amulet!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
"Sister, I'll do whatever you say!"
Lin Hua shook his head, suddenly put a handkerchief over her mouth and stuffed a piece of candy into it.
The sticky strawberry flavor melted in Chen Nan's mouth, making her curl her lips involuntarily.
Since Chen Nan has made a final decision, her attitude towards the Su family will naturally be different.
She turned around, stood on tiptoe and scanned the team. Seeing that everyone was sweating profusely, she said:
"Everyone, just hold on a little longer. As long as we get to Zhuangzi, we will have a place to stay!"
"Yes! Miss."
"Uncle Fu, you are old, so you should let someone else exchange with you. After all, this place is still dozens of miles away from the village."
"Miss, that's not necessary! This is the last thing I can do for you, Lord Marquis. I...I...can do it!"
Before Uncle Fu finished speaking, his eyes turned red again and his voice became intermittent with a tearful tone.
Su Weimin's body had turned blue and was obviously becoming stiff. Chen Nan felt that if it continued to be exposed to the sun, it would start to stink before it could even reach the village.
She thought for a moment, then took off her heavy outer robe and prepared to cover Su Weimin's body with it to cover him and preserve his final dignity.
"Miss! No way!"
"Please think twice, Miss!"
Everyone exclaimed, their faces changed drastically, and they all looked at Chen Nan as if he were a monster.
One of the concubines said in a strange voice: "The eldest lady must be sick and confused. How could she do such a thing?"
Chen Nan noted down everyone's reactions one by one, then frowned and her aura instantly became fierce.
"Da Yong is very filial!"
"Auntie Chen means that I shouldn't save face for my father? Should I just leave it alone and turn a blind eye?!"
"I... didn't mean that! Humph, the young lady is really sharp-tongued."
The original body, Su Chengnan, was the eldest daughter. Since she was sickly since childhood and seldom left the room, these concubines often ignored her. Now that she suddenly became the head of the family, these people could not change their mindset for a while.
Chen Nan was really furious with his original self.
"The body and hair are given by our parents."
"Clothes are just external possessions. How can they be as important as my father's dignity after his death?!"
"Everything in our Su family was earned by my father through military merit! What's wrong with what I do?!"
Aunt Chen is a concubine.
If Su Weimin had not taken advantage of the people's will and died in exchange for the Su family's safe escape, she would have been detained and sold as property long ago. How could she have the right to talk nonsense here now!
But as a woman, Chen Nan did not want to punish the other party by means of selling.
"It's immoral! How can a woman behave like this!" Aunt Chen refused to give in.
"Which eye of yours saw me being immoral?"
"Not only did I see it, everyone saw it!"
"Oh?" Chen Nan sneered, raised his eyelids and scanned the crowd, "Then let me see if anyone else saw it."
Even if the others disagreed with Marquis Xiaoyong's orders in their hearts, they still obeyed them.
Since Su Weimin let the eldest daughter be the head of the family, then the eldest daughter Su Chengnan is the head of the family! Anyone who goes against his master is courting his life.
They all lowered their heads at the same time, and only a few of them secretly glanced at Uncle Fu.
Uncle Fu had been the steward of the Su family for decades. All of the sons and daughters in the family had been released by Marquis Xiaoyong and were all educated. Naturally, he had deep feelings for Su Weimin.
What Chen Nan said just now hit his heart perfectly, causing Uncle Fu's loyalty and favorability towards Su Chengnan to increase wildly!
He didn't expect that after the Su Mansion encountered misfortune, the frail eldest daughter would suddenly become capable of taking on responsibilities. This is the demeanor that the eldest daughter of the Su family should have!
Tears flashed in his eyes and his voice trembled:
"The young lady has a heart!"
"The Marquis' spirit in heaven will surely be very pleased."
Chen Nan regained his momentum, helped Uncle Fu up, who was bending over, and said to everyone:
"The Su family is a family of generals. The blood flowing in our bodies is the blood of heroes!"
"From now on, everyone in the Su family doesn't have to be so particular about small matters! Both men and women must read and learn to write, and learn martial arts!"
"If anyone has any objections, or is afraid of hardship, fatigue, or being burdened by the secular world, you can just come and tell me, and I will let her go!"
Aunt Chen couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes. She couldn't understand why the eldest daughter Su Chengnan, who was always good-tempered and had no opinion, would become so aggressive.
But she was originally the dowry of the second wife of Marquis Xiaoyong. It was only because Han was pregnant with the second daughter and was unable to serve the marquis that she was made a concubine.
This time when Han took the young master to the farm, she specifically told her to keep a close eye on the backyard.
The concubines were all quite well behaved and honest, but who knew something would happen in the mansion? !
The Marquis actually passed the position of head of the family to the eldest daughter who smells like medicine, instead of leaving it to the Madam or the young master!
Even if Aunt Chen was unwilling to continue to fight, she could only continue to be stubborn because she had to obey Han.
"Miss, if you insist on saying so, I naturally have no choice."
"But now the eldest lady is the head of the Su family. Her every word and action represents the Su family. I'm afraid that she will be ridiculed by outsiders if she behaves like this, right?"
Chen Nan looked at her deeply and quickly searched his memory about her.
After a few seconds, she finally remembered that Aunt Chen was Han's person.
Chen Nan shook his head slightly and thought: What’s the point of house fighting? It's simply a waste of her time and life. She must cut the Gordian knot and quickly stabilize the situation and rally the people's hearts!
"Since you know that I am the head of the family, where do you get the courage to speak to me like this?"
"Could it be that you are relying on someone behind you and think that your mother will support you?"
Aunt Chen couldn't help but take a step back out of fear. Han's personality has always been to protect herself, so how could she stand up for herself? It was so miserable! It's really like you can't please either side.
"Aunt Chen, I advise you to think it over carefully before you reply."
"otherwise……"
Chen Nan continued to walk forward, forcing Aunt Chen to retreat again and again. Finally, Aunt Chen tripped herself in panic, fell directly to the ground, and began to sob softly.
Chen Nan never liked crying, and she hated stupidity. She couldn't help but glance at the other person and turned back to the front of the team.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's keep going!"
"Yes, Miss!"
The voices of the crowd were obviously louder than before.
As they hurried on their way,
A group of men in black were quietly chasing us from the capital...
