Chapter 143: Ning Xuan's Third Day
Su Shengsheng rested for three days before she felt her strength had recovered a little.
Today is the third day celebration for my eldest brother and his wife’s daughter, and all the Su family members will go.
When she arrived, the incense table had been set up in the middle hall, and the statue of the Goddess of Douzai had been respectfully invited.
On the other side, precious gifts had been placed in a basin containing Chinese herbal medicines such as mugwort by the men of the Su family who had rushed to work that morning.
After she arrived, the younger female members of the family began.
Su Yuanling stepped forward first, gently scooped a spoonful of herbal water into the basin, then placed the jade bracelet in it and prayed, "May Ning Xuan be free from worries and grow up happily."
The name Ning Xuan was given by Su Yuanling at the request of Mrs. Cen.
Taken from the forget-me-not daylily, it brings peace and tranquility.
Now that family affairs are in turmoil, everyone hopes that time can heal all wounds.
When it was Su Shengsheng's turn, she slowly stepped forward and gently placed the gold and silver ingots that Qing Ning had carefully washed into the basin, causing Jiao Shi to burst out laughing: "Girl, are you hoping that our Ning Xuan will grow up quickly so that she can help you earn back all that gold?"
She knew very well that Su Shengsheng's action was actually to comfort them and show that she no longer minded her sister's betrayal.
The culprit, Fan Wenchang, is dead, and Su Ruilin and Jiao want them both to let go...
Upon hearing this, Su Shengsheng prayed solemnly, "Little Ningxuan, I hope you grow up quickly and safely, and earn a lot of gold ingots for your aunt."
It made everyone in the room laugh.
Afterwards, Su Nianwei also strung a longevity thread woven with colorful silk threads, strung it with centenary coins, and gently threw it into the basin.
Qing Ning and Ning Yu also put in their respective blessing items in turn.
Bai Shuo and Bai Ping, as outsiders, came after the Su family and presented Ning Xuan with a string of pearls as the midwife, implying that Ning Xuan was like the apple of their eye.
Jiao was deeply surprised by this and thanked him repeatedly.
Just as everyone was having fun, the midwife appeared holding little Ningxuan. She looked at the pile of gold and jade in the basin, her eyes full of envy.
As she baptized little Ningxuan, she chanted auspicious words, "First, cleanse your face, and you will look like an immortal. Then, purify your body, and your family will be filled with blessings."
I wish the woman to be as beautiful as a flower and always be happy.
It has to be said that the women of the Su family are extraordinary. They were able to deal with such a big thing so peacefully.
After receiving a generous reward, the midwife took little Ningxuan away with a happy smile.
Just as everyone sat down and was silent for a while, Su Nianwei slowly stood up and walked to the center.
She bowed to her grandfather and said, "Grandfather, Fifth Sister has been imprisoned for a long time. I believe she has realized her mistakes. Why not let her out?"
When Su Nianwei said this, her eyes involuntarily looked at Su Shengsheng.
When Mrs. Li heard this, she was startled at first, then she asked unhappily, "Why let her out?"
Ever since Su Deyong colluded with outsiders and attempted to kill Su Jingshan, he has been watched even more closely.
Su Nianwei was rejected by her stepmother. Her eyes moved between Su Yuanling and Su Shengsheng. In the end, she said nothing more and quietly returned to her original position.
This scene made everyone present think that even Su Yuanling could be forgiven for making such a big mistake, let alone Su Wenqian?
But... can this be compared?
Everyone's eyes turned to Su Nianwei.
Su Nianwei felt everyone's gaze and stammered, "I just think that we are all sisters from the same family, so there is nothing we can't get over."
Su Shengsheng glanced at Su Yuanling's pale face, gently put down the teacup, and said in a cold tone: "Let Su Wenqian out, I have no objection, but whoever lets her out will be responsible for her in the future."
Su Nianwei was so directly refuted by Su Shengsheng, and seemed to notice that there were guests present, so she had to lower her head and remain silent.
Li was unhappy, "Sisters from the same family..."
But having said this, I can’t go on.
The relationship, which had been somewhat relaxed, had a clear crack quietly appearing.
Seeing Jiao's face also not looking good, Su Shengsheng didn't want them to think too much, "What others think about the matter between me and Fourth Sister is none of my business. I don't need others to be generous on my behalf."
Su Jingshan also felt awkward, wondering why his third daughter was targeting the eldest wife today.
Although Su Yuanling was wrong, she later took the risk to save her daughter. Later, when her daughter took the blame, she also stood up on her own.
The person they should really hate is Fan Wenchang.
But at this moment, the third daughter compared the first and fourth wives.
I don't know if it was intentional or not...
It’s just because Su Nianwei is usually a taciturn person, and when she occasionally said something like this, it was inevitable that people would think too much.
However, Su Shengsheng's meaning was clear.
This is a matter between her and Su Yuanling, and there is no need for others to interfere.
Jiao knew Su Shengsheng's personality well, so she wouldn't pretend not to mind and bring it up from time to time to annoy them.
When Jiao turned her gaze towards Su Nianwei, she heard Su Nianwei say, "I was also missing someone when I delivered the gift just now. I thought Fifth Sister hadn't done anything wrong. She just had a foolish father..."
Before she could finish, Su Shengsheng stood up and interrupted her: "I don't think they are stupid, it's me who is stupid. I didn't send him to jail!"
Not wanting to explain further, he simply said, "Seventh Sister, if you truly feel sorry for them, you can go find Magistrate Sang and have me brought to court."
Su Nianwei panicked, "Sixth sister, that's not what I meant. I just meant that Fifth sister..."
Seeing the sad expressions on his grandfather and grandmother's faces, Su Shengsheng had to suppress the anger in his heart. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "It is indeed wrong for me to abuse my power. I will withdraw the people tomorrow."
My grandparents attached great importance to etiquette and even told the women in the family to be less restrained and to hold their heads high in their lives.
But that doesn't mean she isn't sad that the sisters keep bickering and quarreling despite the presence of their elders.
The more Su Nianwei explained, the more confused she became. Seeing that Su Shengsheng's face had turned cold, she had no choice but to keep silent.
Now that the Su family has established a foundation that is strong enough to withstand the storm, Su Shengsheng is no longer willing to care about other trivial matters.
But after this outburst of anger, she couldn't help but feel very irritated.
Seeing Su Shengsheng pressing her brows, Bai Shuo took out a silver needle and said softly, "Though your body is gradually recovering from soaking in the icy water, your inner fire is still burning, and your restlessness is already showing."
With just one sentence, he cleverly resolved the embarrassing situation of Su Shengsheng losing her temper.
Su Shengsheng was originally feeling depressed, but now she inexplicably wanted to laugh.
Does this mean that she can use her illness as an excuse to go crazy whenever she quarrels with others in the future?
However, when she saw Bai Shuo's increasingly solemn expression, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Is there still some poison in her body?
Su Jingshan and Li also became nervous. They watched Bai Shuo checking Su Shengsheng's pulse and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
Old Master Su and the old lady also gathered around, their faces filled with worry.
After a few breaths, Bai Shuo put down his hand that was taking the patient's pulse and spread out the silver needle bag.
"Depression in the heart is the most likely to cause mental distress. It is better to talk things out openly to avoid accumulated worry turning into illness."
It seems like she has a lot on her mind.
Well, it’s always right to listen to the doctor’s advice.
Seeing the nervous faces of her grandparents, Su Shengsheng reluctantly agreed: "I will pay attention next time." Cultivate your character, grow flowers and eat vegetarian food.
Li was very dissatisfied with her daughter's casual attitude. She pulled Bai Shuo over and asked about her daughter's condition in detail.
I also took the opportunity to ask whether my daughter's physical condition would affect her fertility.
The most important thing is to test Bai Shuo's current attitude towards his daughter.
After this incident, Mrs. Li felt even more strongly that she should find a son-in-law for her daughter so that she would have someone to talk to.
Su Shengsheng helplessly watched her mother pull Bai Shuo away. Seeing that her mother didn't let him go for a long time, she was worried that her mother would say something inappropriate. When she walked over to take a look, she saw Su Yuanling, who was hiding behind others, suddenly trembled.
The Buddha stood still as if struck by lightning.
She felt a little strange and looked over, and she noticed Su Yuanling's hand unconsciously touching her lower abdomen...
At that moment, Su Shengsheng's heart felt like it was struck by thunder.
The string in her mind that had never been relaxed suddenly collapsed.
The only thing that echoed in the two people's ears was Li's question: How to regulate the difficulty a woman has in conceiving due to a cold body.
