Chapter 142 End of Rebirth
When the Su family hurried back, Cen had not yet given birth.
Knowing that they had returned safely, Cen finally breathed a sigh of relief and the situation became stable again.
The grandmother held the pale Su Yuanling tightly in one hand, and gently stroked the weak Su Shengsheng with the other hand, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Jiao has entered the delivery room to accompany her daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Zhong from the second house had not expected them to return so quickly, and hurried out to inquire about the situation.
However, seeing that Old Master Su and Old Madam Su looked solemn, she could only turn to the equally haggard Li and ask softly, "Is the case closed?"
Li nodded slightly at first, then shook her head. After that, she just wiped the tears from her face silently without saying a word.
Although Cen's due date had arrived, she was frightened by an unexpected incident, which resulted in an abnormal fetus.
In desperation, they had to invite Bai Shuo.
Bai Shuo had just corrected Cen's fetal position and asked his sister to take care of her in the delivery room while he went out to wait.
As soon as my grandmother saw the doctor come out, she hurried forward and asked, "Doctor Bai, what's going on?"
Bai Shuo looked calm and soothing, "Please rest assured, Madam. The young lady's fetus was just in an abnormal position, and now it has returned to its normal position."
"Thank you, Doctor Bai." Upon hearing this, my grandmother felt relieved. As she was exhausted, she was helped by several people to sit down and rest.
Bai Shuo's gaze immediately fell on Su Shengsheng. He took out a bottle of pills from his sleeve and handed it to her: "This is what I just prepared. Take one pill every day."
He did not explain the origin of the pills, but Su Yuanling's pale face changed quietly.
Su Shengsheng's eyes swept across her face lightly, holding the medicine bottle tightly in his hand, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.
She always felt that there was an airtight net covering her head, but she couldn't find any connection with it.
Even if Fan Wenchang had some intentions towards her, why did he have to go around in circles and involve Fourth Sister...
She was full of doubts, but she was afraid of bringing up her fourth sister's sad memories, so she didn't dare to ask more questions.
Bai Shuo saw that she was absent-minded and that the Su family members were all frowning and not paying attention to their affairs.
When the words were on the tip of his tongue, he could only swallow them back and step aside to wait.
Seeing that Cen was able to give birth on her own, Qing Ning felt relieved and went out to look for Su Shengsheng.
When she saw Su Yuanling, there was still a hint of anger in her expression, but she didn't say much.
Ning Yu told her everything that happened that day after she woke up.
Has Su Yuanling ever truly experienced the hardships and difficulties that a young lady faces when working hard alone outside?
Just because she was afraid of gossip from outsiders, she pushed her own sister into the fire pit. She didn't think the young lady really owed her anything.
Even if the young lady lied and offended some people, can the Su family survive in this place without the young lady to support them?
After being helped to sit down by Qing Ning, Su Shengsheng came back to his senses and asked softly, "How is Ning Yu?"
"When Second Brother Bao came to deliver something just now, he said that Ningyu is much better and can now walk around." Qing Ning replied.
Su Shengsheng nodded and slowly glanced at Su Yuanling who was also sitting down.
At this moment, even if she wanted to enlighten her fourth sister, she had lost her position.
Some things are inappropriate for her to say after all.
In fact, she didn't know what to do now...
At this moment, Grandfather's voice echoed in the dead silence of the hall: "Yuan Ling girl, do you blame Grandfather for telling the truth?"
Su Yuanling instantly fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face like beads falling from a broken string: "It is my granddaughter who has brought shame upon my grandfather."
The shame she was talking about was naturally not the fact that she was defiled by Fan Wenchang, and everyone knew it.
When rumors were rife, she took the initiative to tell her family everything, just to clear the stigma that Su Shengsheng had endured.
How could Old Master Su not know that his granddaughter was probably already thinking about death at that time?
No matter how the outside world pokes at the Su family's spine, saying that their daughter has no shame and goes to the Red Mansion to perform to make a living, in his eyes, these are no longer important.
"You are all right...it's the world and people's hearts that are wrong..."
Old Master Su's tone was grave as he looked at the sad-looking Su Yuanling. "Grandfather used to think you were a bit spoiled and willful, but after this incident, you've come to realize that you have a proud character."
He helped Su Yuanling up and said, "Grandfather doesn't think your crime is unforgivable. You can hold your head high and live an upright life in the future."
After saying this, he turned his gaze to Su Shengsheng, whose face was as pale as snow. "Don't even think about leaving this family behind to go and hide away. In the future, you sisters should support each other and do whatever you want to do."
Changing a person's concept, even the mind of a person who adheres to the ideals of the dynasty, is something Su Shengsheng had never thought of before.
However, when she heard her grandfather say these words with her own ears, saying that the laws and the world of the era she lived in were wrong, she could not feel happy at all.
Because she knew very well that the price of all this was so heavy...
Grandfather no longer interfered with the future business career of his female relatives, and even implicitly encouraged Su Yuanling to go out of the house and not care about worldly views.
All of this made her feel mixed emotions that were hard to describe.
I thought they would be "banned" by the Su family again...
However, the development of things was beyond her expectations.
Su Yuanling was also stunned. She turned to look at her grandfather, her eyes flickering with confusion. "Grandfather?"
Grandfather patted the back of her hand gently, his tone gentle but firm, "Girl, do you think you did something wrong?"
When talking about Fan Wenchang, Su Yuanling felt that he had no regrets in his heart.
As for being forced to frame Su Shengsheng, she really did her best to make amends...
Su Yuanling shook her head firmly, "We are both not wrong."
Grandfather's eyes were clear, "Since the fault lies with others, why should you punish yourself with their mistakes?"
Su Yuanling's long-suppressed confusion, helplessness, and inexplicable bitterness were all released at this moment.
"Wow..." She finally couldn't help it and burst into tears.
She once thought that she had lost the right to even cry...but her grandfather told her that they were not wrong.
You have to know how persistent Old Master Su was in promoting etiquette and how stubborn his ideas were, to the point of even angering the emperor for this.
However, today, he frankly admitted that the world and people's hearts are wrong...
This made the Su family stop their chaotic thoughts and fall into deep thought.
Although the case of Fan Wenchang's murder was suppressed by King Xuanming, the news that the Su family girl went to the Red Mansion and was defiled again had spread.
Their hearts were filled with fear and anxiety, and they had no idea how to face the world in the future.
Even with King Xuanming suppressing public opinion, they were still in a state of panic, as if they were suffocating under an invisible pressure.
However, at this moment, the lingering dark clouds seemed to be dispersed, revealing a glimmer of light.
Yes, the Su family’s fault is not theirs, so why should the Su family not be able to hold their heads up high?
Qing Ning couldn't help but burst into tears when she heard that Old Master Su was finally willing to face up to the Su family's situation and understand the difficulties women face in life.
She never blamed Su Yuanling for being coerced or forced to do so, but she just felt sorry for the young lady being accused for no reason.
Just because the young lady went to the Red Mansion, everyone blamed her...
Mrs. Su knew very well that her husband was not awakened by his granddaughter's scolding, but that he really had such an awareness in his heart.
This is not an easy task for him.
As the pillar of the family, if he hadn't had the inner strength to support him, he would have been on the verge of collapse long ago.
Yet, at this moment, he could even calmly accept his granddaughter's outrageous words...
This made Old Madam Su feel the support of an invisible force, and she wondered where this force would take the women of the Su family.
The moon was rising, and a cry broke the silence in the house.
The arrival of the newborn baby girl seemed to bring a glimmer of new hope to the depressed Su family.
It is an end, but also a new life...
