Chapter 12: There are so many holes in your brain, just right for setting traps for the enemy
Old Madam Su never expected that Su Yao, whom she had doted on for more than ten years, would use and plot against her in this way, causing her to be so cold and insolent towards her own granddaughter for half a year.
Mrs. Su, who couldn't hold on for a breath, groaned and fainted immediately.
Upon seeing this, Nanny Zhou hurried to call the palace doctor.
The general's mansion became busy in an instant.
Coming out of the old lady's room, Mrs. Du hugged her daughter with a look of heartache on her face.
"It's all my fault. Yan'er suffered so much injustice after returning home."
Seeing the distress on Mrs. Du's face, Su Yuyan thought for a moment, then hugged Mrs. Du back.
"Mother, please don't say that. People's hearts are hidden, and they don't know what they are doing."
"Even though I was branded as dishonest the day after I returned home, Mother didn't blame or despise me at all. Instead, she comforted me with gentle words and gave me a lot of money to compensate me. These past few days, you were worried that I would be sad because my innocence had been lost, so you sent me antiques, calligraphy, and paintings like water."
"Mother, I was ignorant before. You treated me so well, but I often disobeyed you and argued with you. After the incident at the Queen's birthday banquet, not only has your daughter grown a lot, but she has also become less stubborn."
"From now on, your daughter will no longer make you sad and angry like before."
Du, Su Zhan, Su Zhe: "..."
Who would say that there is water in their brain?
Seeing her daughter suddenly become sensible despite the great shock, Mrs. Du felt distressed but also a little happy: I'm glad that my daughter took the shock well...
Mrs. Du was startled by her own happiness...
Su Zhan looked at his younger sister with a face full of heartache: the day after she returned home, someone framed her so that her grandmother would dislike her. She must be very sad, right?
"Yuyan, big brother will love you even more from now on."
"What happened to you was not your fault. If you don't want to get married in the future, I will support you for the rest of your life."
A warm feeling rose in Su Yuyan's heart.
She is a person who will repay anyone who treats her badly tenfold, and will also return a little or two to anyone who treats her well.
Since she will live in this era as the legitimate daughter of the Su family, she will repay the sincerity of her relatives who are truly kind to her.
Of course, the two people on the blacklist are excluded, namely Madam Su and Second Su.
"Okay, since big brother said so, I won't be polite."
Su Zhan was stunned at first, then he curled his lips.
"good."
Seeing that the brother and sister got along well with each other, although Mrs. Du was happy from the bottom of her heart, she also had a hint of blame in her words.
"How can a woman stay single for her whole life? Zhan'er, as the eldest brother, why are you still encouraging Yan'er not to marry?"
"The Su family is a family of honor and honor. Although it's hard to marry someone of the same social status as us, as long as Yan'er is willing to say she wants to get married, many small families outside of Kyoto will rush to propose marriage. Even if her social status is lower, as long as she has good character and is caring, it will be fine."
Su Yuyan, who didn't want to get married at all, told a story on the spot.
"Mother, there was a family in the village where I used to live. The man was a businessman. As his business grew, one day he brought home a young and beautiful woman and forced his wife to divorce him."
"Not only did his wife refuse to divorce him, she also went around crying to the neighbors."
"Then, the man, enraged and humiliated, killed his wife in a rage."
"Because the man gave a lot of money to all the local officials, both big and small, the murder of his wife was eventually dropped."
"Mother, do you know? When they were young, they were in love and respected each other. The woman was the envy of everyone in the village. Who could have imagined that she would end up being hacked to death by her husband?"
"Hey, love, when you love, you take off your clothes one by one, and when you don't love anymore, you stab them with a knife, piece here and piece there. That's why I don't want to get married in this life."
Du and Su Zhan: "..."
At the same time, Su Zhe, who had been following them, spoke apologetically.
"I'm sorry, Yuyan. I didn't expect that Su Yao was such a hypocritical and malicious person. I was wrong to have a prejudice against you before. I will make it up to you in the future."
Su Yuyan caught a glimpse of her.
"Oh, Su Yao caused your sister to lose her innocence, but you still protected her. It's a pity that a talent like you doesn't become a general."
"Because your brain is full of holes, it would be great to use them to set traps for the enemy."
Du and Su Zhan: "..."
Su Zhe: “!!!”
Just when his face fell, Su Yuyan started to attack again.
"Hey, why do you look like that? Did I say something that hurt you? If so, tell me and I'll repeat it again."
Su Zhe: “!!!”
He turned to look at Mrs. Du.
"Mother, please listen to what Yuyan said. I am her brother after all."
Mrs. Du thought about it.
"The Su family owes Yan'er more than Su Yao."
"Su Yao murdered Yan'er, and the Su family spared her life. Yet, you repeatedly pleaded for her and asked her to stay."
"The fact that my mother didn't kick you out shows that she really loves me."
After saying this, she took her daughter's hand and walked away.
Su Zhe, disheveled in the wind: “......!”
Well, I’m deserted by everyone.
But it’s okay. I will find ways to make up for my debt to my sister and make her forgive me.
After returning to her own yard, Su Yuyan met with Xiu'er.
"I've been through a lot, so I need a caring maid who will follow my lead."
"After a few days of observation, I have chosen you. Are you qualified for the job?"
Xiu'er nodded repeatedly.
"I can. My mother was the Madam's dowry nanny. Before you were taken back to the General's Mansion, I had been working in the Madam's courtyard. I never served Su Yao for a single day. I am absolutely loyal to her."
Su Yuyan nodded.
"From now on, you will only listen to me. Even when telling my mother, you must only report good news and not bad news. Never tell her anything that would make her sad. Can you do that?"
Xiu'er blurted out.
"Of course. You are my lady's most beloved one. Since my lady has sent me to serve you, you are my only master."
Su Yuyan never misjudges people, and she is very satisfied with Xiu'er's answer.
"In that case, you should disguise yourself and go out of the house under the pretext of buying me some special food. Follow Su Yao, who has just been kicked out of the house, to see which inn she is staying in tonight, and then report the address to me."
"Only Heaven and Earth know this, you and I know it."
Xiu'er took the order and left.
After dinner, Su Yuyan chatted with her mother and elder brother about family matters.
While chatting, she yawned deliberately, looking extremely sleepy.
Mrs. Du and Su Zhan asked her with concern why she didn't sleep well, and this was her answer.
"My beloved broke off the engagement, which was a huge shock, so I had nightmares for several days."
Seeing that she was so sleepy, Mrs. Du and Su Zhan quickly ended the topic and asked her to go back to her room to have a good rest. They also ordered the servants not to disturb her.
Back at her residence, Su Yuyan told Xiu'er that she didn't like being disturbed while sleeping, and ordered Xiu'er not to let anyone enter her room.
Dark clouds covered the city, the night was dark and windy, and Su Yuyan, who was agile and had changed her clothes and appearance, slipped out of the house through the side door under the cover of night and came to the inn where Su Yao was staying.
