Chapter 192: Master Zhiren's words
Dark clouds seemed to cover the entire inn.
Although the young lady of the Duke of England's mansion gave birth safely, none of the maids and servants dared to show any joy.
As for the reward, forget it.
The old lady of the Duke of England's mansion didn't even go in to see her daughter-in-law and her newborn granddaughter, and turned back to her room.
Her grandson Lin Wangjin pursed his lips, looked at his grandmother's back, and a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
"Su Yue, tell me...is this God's punishment for me?" The old lady sat on a chair, muttering with a mixture of tears and laughter, "The punishment is for not treating the orphan well and not fulfilling my promise, so the Duke of Ying's family will be extinct..."
Su Yue, also known as Mother Wang, was shocked when she heard the old lady's words.
He quickly poured the old lady a cup of tea and said, "Old lady, you're overthinking it. You didn't do what happened back then. It was all..."
Mother Wang paused here and didn't want to continue.
Although she is the old lady's confidante, it is not easy for her to speak ill of her master's family.
After hearing what Mother Wang said, the old lady gave a bitter laugh and said, "Although I didn't do it, it was the result of my indulgence. If I hadn't always spoiled Yu'er, how could she have developed such an arrogant and willful personality? To the point where she ended up doing such a cruel and despicable thing?"
Mother Wang didn't say anything, just listened quietly.
She knew that her master didn't need her to say anything at this time.
As expected, the old lady continued, "I once promised my sister-in-law that I would treat Sister Ru well, but I didn't do it. As a result, Sister Ru died at the foot of the cliff, and her body was not found..."
When the old lady said this, tears came out of her eyes.
Mother Wang knew that she had to speak at this time to alleviate her master's guilt.
"Old Madam, this can't be blamed on you. It's all because the Second Young Miss was young and was instigated by someone. She made a mistake and did something foolish..."
The old lady shook her head slowly and said, "Don't tell me. It's all my fault for not educating her well. I gave birth to three sons, but only this one daughter. Naturally, I wanted to pamper her with all my heart, but I didn't realize that I raised her to be lawless and jealous. She wants to compete with my cousin for everything, even marriage..."
The old lady's face was full of regret.
At this moment, the image of Old Lady Su suddenly appeared in front of Mother Wang.
I couldn't help but open my mouth, wanting to say something.
In the end, his eyes flickered but he said nothing.
The old lady added in a sorrowful voice, "If the incense of the Duke of Yingzhou's mansion is cut off, I will be the sinner of the Duke of Yingzhou's mansion!"
After saying this, he burst into tears and choked with sobs.
Mother Wang quickly advised, "Old Madam, please don't think like that. Have you forgotten what Master Zhiren of Longquan Temple once said? As long as we find..."
The old lady's crying stopped, and a thoughtful look appeared on her face.
Then he shook his head in disappointment.
"I've been searching for so many years, but I still haven't found a girl like her, one with unparalleled fortune and luck, a unique destiny, a perfect match for Jin'er, and one who holds the sun and the moon in her arms... I'm afraid there's no such girl in this world..."
The old lady's tone was filled with despair as she finished speaking.
After hearing what the old lady said, Mother Wang didn't know what to say.
To be honest, she didn't think so either.
After all, if your fate is so good that you can pick up gold while walking, dig up ginseng while bending down, and even pick up some wild vegetables that are rare medicinal herbs...
There can't be such a person!
**
On this side, Old Man Su and his family did not expect that three ginsengs were sold for two thousand taels of silver.
So much so that when they walked out of the pharmacy, the Su family father and son seemed to be floating as they walked.
However, Mrs. Su always looked a little dazed.
Wang Zhong remained calm, glanced at Old Lady Su, and said with a smile, "It's already noon, why don't we find a place to have lunch first?"
Old Man Su laughed heartily, his face flushed as he said, "Very well, I'll treat you today, and we'll have a good meal."
He is a rich man now, with two thousand taels of silver in his arms!
Although, these banknotes may only stay in his arms for a short while.
County Magistrate Zheng certainly wouldn't refuse. He laughed heartily and said, "Brother Su and Chief Steward Wang have come to the county town, so of course I'm the one to treat them. Let's go to Juxiang Tower..."
Juxianglou is the best restaurant in Fengqi County.
When the county magistrate arrived, the shopkeeper came over to greet him in person.
He specially led everyone to the best private room.
After all, Mrs. Su was a female guest, and it was not appropriate for her to eat at the same table with men.
So, I asked for another private room.
"Mom, is everything okay at home?" Su Laoer asked.
"All is well." Old Mrs. Su nodded.
Suddenly I remembered that my second son didn’t know that his second daughter-in-law was pregnant.
Then he said, "Your wife is pregnant again."
Su Xiaoliu also said with a smile: "Second brother, I'm going to have another nephew."
Su Laoer was also very happy to hear this.
However, he instinctively asked, "Qian Yuemei is at home, isn't she causing trouble?"
Every time his wife gets pregnant, he makes a fuss about everything, complaining about this and that.
Old Madam Su glared at her son and said, "After all, she's your wife and she's going to give birth to your child. You don't care about her health, but instead you say this. If she knew, she'd be so heartbroken. Don't say that again!"
Su Lao Er chuckled, "Mom, she's so strong, what's there to worry about? As long as she doesn't do anything naughty, there will be no problem."
Old Mrs. Su, “…”
The second daughter-in-law is indeed very strong.
Su Laoer continued, "Mom, is she yelling again this time that she will definitely give birth to a daughter? She doesn't even consider whether she has that blessing? Before giving birth to the fourth child, she kept saying it would definitely be a daughter, but what happened? It turned out to be a stinky boy!"
Old Mrs. Su suddenly felt that when her second son called the brat, his tone was exactly the same as her own old man's.
Su Xiaoliu chuckled, patted Su Laoer on the shoulder, and said, "Second brother, you're also a brat! Our father must have said the same thing about you back then!"
Su Lao Er looked at his gloating brother and said earnestly, "Xiao Liu, even if our father scolded me at the beginning, he must have said it with a smile. After all, I only have my eldest brother and a kid above me, so I, the second child, am still very popular."
When Su Laoer said this, he deliberately took Su Xiaoliu's hand off his shoulder.
Then, he patted Su Xiaoliu on the shoulder.
The action was exactly the same as what Su Xiaoliu had just done.
Then, he added, "You're different. You have five older brothers. Do you know how disgusted Dad was when he heard you were a boy when you were born? He called you a stinky brat with such bitterness that I, your second brother, almost persuaded Dad to just raise you as his own daughter."
Su Xiaoliu, “…”
Total defeat!
