Chapter 433
Seeing that things were almost out of control, even the usually calm Madam Zheng lost her temper. Shen Jun quickly stepped in to take charge: "Alright, there's a big celebration to be held tomorrow. I think we should stop here for today. Everyone stop drinking, or it won't be good if it interferes with tomorrow's important event."
Madam Zheng took a deep breath and, following Shen Jun's instructions, ended the banquet.
That night was supposed to be a banquet to celebrate Yao Susu's upcoming marriage. Everyone should have been happily drinking and preparing for the wedding the next day. No one expected such a mishap to happen.
Luo and Yao Susu returned to Huicao Hall, and the mother and daughter talked for most of the night.
——
The next morning, Yunxi got up and dressed.
Shen Rang had a rare day off today and originally wanted to take a nap with Yun Xi in his arms, but Yun Xi had important matters to attend to, so he couldn't stay in bed any longer.
Yunxi and Yao Susu were close, so Zheng asked Yunxi to get up early to accompany Yao Susu until the groom came to pick her up.
But as soon as Yunxi went over, she was startled by Yao Susu.
Yao Susu's eyes were swollen and bloodshot, making it look as if she had been crying all night!
"Jixiang, I remember we have some ointment to reduce swelling. Go find it quickly. Le'an, go get some ice."
"yes!"
Ji Xiang Le An accepted the order and turned to run away.
Yunxi sat down next to Yao Susu and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"
Yao Susu shook her head and leaned gently against Yunxi: "I just suddenly realized how hard my mother's life has been."
She used to think that her mother was a shrew and difficult person to deal with, and that she was only using her in her marriage without any sincerity. But last night, Mrs. Luo told her everything.
Yao Yuhao favored his concubine over his wife. If Luo Shi hadn't been so shrewish, she and her two children would probably have been squeezed out of the country long ago.
As for Yao Susu's marriage, Yao Yuhao originally wanted to marry her off to one of his most promising students. That student was talented, but his mother was not easy to get along with; she was poor and fierce. Luo Shi was unwilling for Yao Susu to marry into that family and suffer such humiliation, so she went to great lengths to contact Zheng Shi and entrust Yao Susu to her.
She said she wanted to find someone from a good family background because if the family background wasn't good, Yao Yuhao would be the first to disagree.
And Mrs. Luo genuinely wanted to find someone she could entrust her daughter to.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have read that booklet over and over again so many times in the beginning, and still not made up her mind in the end.
As Yao Susu explained the truth of the matter one by one, Yunxi couldn't help but be deeply moved.
When Yunxi first met Luo Shi, she always thought she was just a feisty and unapproachable woman. She never expected that there were so many hidden stories behind her transformation.
Just then, Jixiang and Le'an arrived.
Yunxi took the ointment and said, "This ointment is the best for reducing redness and swelling. I'll apply it first and then use ice. After you put on your makeup, you won't be able to tell anything."
Yao Susu then sat up straight, obediently closed her eyes, and let Yunxi apply the medicine to her.
The bedroom door was open. After Yunxi finished applying the medicine to Yao Susu, she turned around and saw that Luo Shi was standing at the door. She didn't know how long she had been standing there.
