The holiday was only two days, and traveling by land was too slow, so the couple hired a small boat and reached the county ferry in an hour.
They went around the store, picked up some local specialties, and caught two ducks to take to the Su Mansion. The two of them wanted to give gifts that were simple, unpretentious, and down-to-earth.
When the aunt saw Yu Ge'er coming back, she was overjoyed and pulled him aside to talk to him. Her words showed her extreme satisfaction with Miss Dingxiang.
The only difference was that the child was too thin, looking frail and malnourished.
Han Zeyu said regretfully, "Aunt, you don't know that Dingxiang is also a miserable person. Putting aside her miserable life, why is she so haggard now? She was completely deceived by an ungrateful bastard."
After hearing Dingxiang's tragic experience, the aunt-in-law said that she didn't care about her past. When she was young, she was easily blinded by her emotions. After this setback, she could be considered to have learned a lesson.
Han Zeyu raised both hands to express his agreement. Most of the loss compensation had been recovered and there was no way back. It was absolutely impossible to go back on one's word.
In fact, what the aunt was most worried about was Dingxiang's slave status. If the household registration could not be changed, no matter how good the plan was, it would be in vain.
She knew that since Yuger could introduce this girl to her son, it meant that he must have a way to solve these problems.
I went back to the house and discussed with the old man that I couldn't let Yu Ge'er work in vain. She finally came back to stay for two days, and she just helped her family with housework.
Han Zeyu couldn't refuse, so he had to accept the thank-you gift. It was a bit hot to handle his family's money, so he decided to wait until his second cousin got married before giving it back.
Today, Su Wang's place is particularly lively. Both Aunt Bai and Aunt Chen are there. The two sides don't get along well and are sarcastic in their words.
Mrs. Su Wang was happy to watch the show. She had also thought it through. They were just illegitimate sons and daughters. It didn't matter if she drove one sheep or a flock of sheep. Anyway, even if more children were born in the mansion, it would not dilute the interests of Yunzhu and Yunsong. What was she afraid of?
People should not overthink things. As the saying goes, what you fear will come true. The annoying guy she fears most is on the way.
When Han Zeyu appeared at the door with a bright smile on her face and began waving her arms enthusiastically from a distance.
Mrs. Su Wang really wanted to slap her lips and think, what are you blowing? You blew this troublemaker here!
She was puzzled. She didn't hear any crows cawing in the morning, so why did the money-grubbers come to her house again?
Aunt Zhao knew how difficult Han Zeyu was, so she exchanged a few words with the two of them and quickly suggested that the third young lady should wake up from her nap and she had to go back to check on her.
Aunt Bai had never seen the two of them. She only heard some things from the servants after entering the mansion. She knew that the eldest young master was a scholar, but was sent away as soon as he got married, which showed that he was not favored at home.
Since she has been separated from him, it has nothing to do with her.
Aunt Bai felt that learning from the elders would always be a good idea, so she followed Aunt Chen's example and greeted the eldest young master and the eldest young mistress. She then turned around and wanted to say goodbye to Su Wangshi. Unfortunately, things did not go as she wished...
Soon she would witness someone's ability to pierce the heart.
Han Zeyu grabbed her husband's sleeve and shook it hard. The strength, speed, and expression were enough to show how excited he was.
"Husband, husband! Do you think Aunt Bai looks like your good friend from school?"
Su Shien thought that this scene had not been rehearsed beforehand, and it would test his ability to perform on the spot.
After experiencing countless surprise attacks, Su Shien has been able to cooperate with her husband's performance with ease.
"Which classmate are you talking about? The scholar surnamed Bai, is that Bai Jinyan?"
Han Zeyu nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, that's him, the one who was beaten up when he visited the brothel and was called a male vixen."
As the person involved in this incident, Su Shien's heart was almost filled with embarrassment, but he still forced himself to look at Aunt Bai.
"You know what, they really look alike."
Han Zeyu looked innocent and heartlessly asked Aunt Bai if she knew Bai Jinyan.
When Aunt Bai heard what Han Zeyu said, she was so angry that her hands were shaking. Jin Yan was not as ridiculous as he said.
But when the other party asked him the question directly, after weighing the pros and cons, he could only nod in acknowledgment awkwardly.
"If the eldest young lady is talking about Bai Jinyan, who passed the imperial examination last year, then I do know him. He is my cousin."
"So he's my cousin. No wonder he looks a bit like me. Actually, if you look closely, they don't look that much alike."
Han Zeyu casually said a few perfunctory words, changed direction, and went straight to Madam Su who seemed to be lost in thought.
Su Wang was startled by the sudden appearance of the pretty boy in front of her. She thought to herself, "Aren't you looking for trouble with Aunt Bai? Why are you coming to me?"
"You're already grown up, so be more serious. Don't act so recklessly and unruly all the time, making people laugh at you."
Since they were all separated, Mrs. Su Wang would not tolerate Han Zeyu, and she didn't even have a good face towards Su Shien.
Besides, it's not a festival now, can't you be more self-disciplined and stop bringing your country bumpkin here to beg for money?
Now Su Shien is so thick-skinned, just say it! It doesn't hurt anyway.
Aunt Bai retreated, but the speed at which she left was inconsistent with her usual personality. Shouldn't Bai Lianhua walk gracefully?
Seeing Han Zeyu staring blankly at Aunt Bai's departing figure, Lady Su asked casually, "What's this Scholar Bai you're talking about? I've never heard of such a person!"
Han Zeyu shrugged: "You'll have to ask the old man about this. He must know more about his concubines."
After thinking for a moment, Han Zeyu gossiped again, "Looking at Aunt Chen's figure, is she pregnant too? The old man is really in his prime, vigorous and powerful, and his power has not diminished from the past!"
After saying that, he stole a glance at Su Wangshi's belly, observed it for a moment, and sighed with regret.
Mrs. Su Wang was so angry that she really wanted to throw a bowl of tea on Han Zeyu's face.
As a daughter-in-law, do you have any shame in openly making fun of your father-in-law's bedroom affairs?
Besides, you are a rooster that doesn't lay eggs. Who gave you the nerve to stare at your mother-in-law, who has both a son and a daughter, every day? She is almost 37 years old, how can she give birth to a child?
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She had to maintain her image and remember not to speak vulgarly like that country bumpkin.
Quickly taking a sip of tea to calm her nerves, Mrs. Su said calmly, "You've been married for almost a year now. When do you plan to have a child?"
Han Zeyu was shocked when he heard this. It’s coming, it’s coming.
Su Shien fanned himself and said nonchalantly, "The child is so noisy, I'd better wait until I pass the imperial examination before having one!"
Mrs. Su Wang almost choked to death on the tea in her mouth. How many days has she been in charge of the family? She has become so arrogant.
You're still taking the imperial examination! I think you're going to be extinct with this attitude. You're talking as if your wife can give birth to a child just by wanting it.
