I heard that the eldest young master returned home dejected, as if he had been beaten, and the slap marks on his face were still faintly visible.
Miss Yunzhu, who loved to listen to gossip the most in the Su family, immediately went to her mother's place. When she arrived, the housekeeper was already there to answer.
"Who followed the young master out today? Call him over. How could he get himself into such a mess just by going to a school?"
The butler retreated and came back with a servant a moment later to reply.
Mrs. Su Wang knew that the servant was the housekeeper's nephew and was considered one of their own, so she did not make things difficult for him and gestured for him to speak on his own.
The servant said respectfully, "Madam, I went to Qingshan Academy with the eldest young master today. During the lunch break, the young man who was recently engaged to the eldest young master also went to the academy. The young master had a conflict with him, and the injury on his face must have been caused by him."
When Su Yunzhu heard this gossip, her eyes suddenly lit up and she asked, "What is the young man doing at the academy? Is he going to see Su Shien?"
Mrs. Su Wang glared at her and warned her many times not to call the eldest young master by his name in public.
Su Yunzhu was not afraid of her mother's threat. She stuck out her tongue coquettishly, trying to get away with it.
The head butler was already accustomed to Miss Yunzhu's remarks. He looked straight ahead and pretended not to see or hear anything. A servant should do his duty.
The servant lowered his head and replied respectfully, "Not really. The young man from the Han family went to see his younger brother. Because of his outstanding appearance, he attracted quite a few onlookers, including the eldest young master. Perhaps the eldest young master's gaze was too, um... a little blunt, which made the young man dissatisfied. He glared at the eldest young master and then left. The young master was beaten later."
Su Yunzhu chuckled: "Straightforward? I'm afraid it's just hot! I'm a little curious about how good-looking that boy is to attract the attention of the students in the academy?"
The servant said thoughtfully, "His appearance is a little outstanding, but he's not a stunning beauty. It might be that his dress and temperament are particularly outstanding."
Su Yunzhu asked curiously, "Oh? What did he wear when he went to the academy?"
The servant described her truthfully, "She was wearing a moon-white gown with a sky-blue belt around her waist. She wore no makeup, but her headdress seemed to be a betrothal gift sent by the Su family not long ago. Oh, and the accessories on her belt also seemed to be part of the betrothal gift."
This time even Mrs. Su Wang was surprised. A young man from a farming family, even if he didn't have to work in the fields, shouldn't wear such a dirty moon-white suit. It was inappropriate for him to dress like that and show up in public after getting engaged.
Su Yunzhu sneered, "You're short-sighted after all. You haven't seen many good things. You're so impatient to wear the betrothal gift you just received!"
Mrs. Su Wang brought the topic back on track: "How exactly did the young master get injured?"
The servant didn't know the specifics of the situation, but he could make a reasonable inference: "At that time, the eldest young master saw that the young man seemed angry, so he asked me to get the wooden box. When I returned, I happened to see the young man from the Han family fighting with the eldest young master. The young man threatened to cancel the engagement and called the eldest young master a pervert. The eldest young master must have not wanted to cancel the engagement, so he kept begging and even gave the wooden box to the young man as an apology."
Mrs. Su frowned and asked, "Did he accept the apology? Do you know what's in that wooden box?"
"I don't know what was in the box, but the young man from the Han family did leave after accepting the apology."
Su Yunzhu was too lazy to complain. After being taken advantage of, he got so angry that he started beating people up. Even after such a mess, he still didn't forget to take advantage of the situation. This farmer boy was really too realistic.
He is self-righteous and likes to take advantage of others. His character is really unbearable. Su Shien is also a cheap guy who only cares about looks. It is a waste of his mother's time and energy to spend on him.
Mrs. Su Wang was speechless after hearing this. She had sent several people to Su Shien's yard a few years ago, hoping to let him indulge in the gentleness of the ladies while his mind was still immature. Unexpectedly, all kinds of beautiful maids failed to win him over. She thought he was not good at this, but she sent the wrong person. Young Master Su did not like delicate girls, but liked handsome boys.
After the few people left, Mrs. Su Wang called the maid in Su Shien's yard and asked her again carefully.
The maidservant didn't know what Young Master Su had been through outside, she only told the facts she had seen: "When Young Master Su came back, he didn't ask the servants to serve him. He first sat by the window in a daze, then went to the study and painted a picture. The person in the picture was a young man in white clothes."
Mrs. Su Wang nodded. Judging from the situation, he must be stuck in the mud and unable to extricate himself. She didn't expect that Su Shien was such a romantic man. Of course, the other party had to have a good-looking face, otherwise how could he catch his eye.
The maid accepted the reward and added, "I noticed that the eldest master's lips and mouth corners were abnormally red, as if they were stained with some lip balm."
Mrs. Su Wang suddenly realized that this might be the real reason why Su Shien was beaten. It was just that they had just gotten engaged, and the child was a little too impatient.
I think he spends the whole day pondering those romantic poems and articles, but in fact he is still a young man who has never tasted sex. It is normal for him to do some extraordinary things at such an age when he is just beginning to fall in love.
But the young man from the Han family was a bit dishonest. He wanted benefits but didn't want to marry Su Shien. There's no such thing as a free lunch in the world. He couldn't cancel the engagement, and even returning the betrothal gifts was out of the question.
But why would a farmer who covets wealth and fame resist such a respectable marriage? Is there some hidden reason behind this? Or does he already have someone in his heart?
It seems that she has to send someone to investigate Han Zeyu again. If his reputation is too bad, it will not be easy to force him to be the legitimate ruler, and it will also bring shame to the Su family.
How could Han Zeyu be so easily investigated? Yunshan Village only had a few hundred people. If an outsider showed up out of nowhere and tried to pry into other people's privacy, he'd be lucky if he wasn't turned over to the authorities as a child abductor.
Therefore, when the servants of the Su Mansion sneaked into Yunshan Village, they heard that the young man of the Han family had lofty ambitions and wanted to set up his own household, marry and have children. Unfortunately, the girl he liked had an older brother who had just passed the imperial examination, so that family was determined not to marry their daughter to a young man.
I heard that the day before yesterday, Han Zeyu went to the city and happened to meet the girl from that family. Yu Ge'er had not given up on her, but the girl did not want to marry him. She also knew that he had just been engaged and would definitely not have any contact with him anymore. Therefore, she spoke very harshly and both sides were very unhappy.
To explain how something that happened just the day before yesterday became so widely known in such a short period of time, we have to give praise to the Han family's twins.
After receiving the hard work fee from their eldest brother, the two children worked very hard, using all the connections they had accumulated, and tried their best to let the children in the village and their mothers, grandmothers, aunts and sisters-in-law know about this matter.
Han Zeyu was very satisfied with this. These two children were promising talents and would surely have a bright future.
