Chapter 232: Tell the Truth
Ye was holding her temper all the way to the Su family, so much so that when she got out of the car, her face looked a little grim.
Old Mrs. Su looked at Ye curiously and clearly felt that Ye's mood was not as good as it was at the beginning.
When Mrs. Su Dasao and Mrs. Su Ersao saw the county magistrate's wife coming, they hurried over to pay their respects.
Especially Su Ersao Qian Yuemei, her eyes lit up when she saw Ye.
When Ye brought the things she brought with her last time, her heart started pounding.
Old Madam Su glanced at Qian Yuemei and ordered, "Second wife, go boil some water and make some tea."
"I know, Mom!"
Qian Yuemei agreed very readily.
"Old man, go clean these up and cook later."
As Old Mrs. Su spoke, she handed the meat, vegetables, and some miscellaneous items she bought at the market to Mrs. Su.
Just as Mrs. Su reached out to take it, Old Mrs. Su withdrew her hand.
"Xiaoliu, take these to the kitchen." Old Mrs. Su shouted to her youngest son.
"Mom, I'm fine. I'm fine." Mrs. Su said quickly.
Her mother-in-law treated her like she was made of paper.
Seeing this, Mrs. Ye glanced at Mrs. Su's belly and said with a smile, "Could it be that you are pregnant? Your mother-in-law is a caring person. For a woman to meet such a caring mother-in-law, it must be a blessing from her past life."
As soon as Ye finished speaking, Qian Yuemei immediately stopped and turned to look at Ye.
"Madam, you don't know, I'm the one who's pregnant." Qian Yuemei's voice was filled with a hint of pride, "Sister-in-law is just..."
"The second son's family!" Old Mrs. Su looked over with sharp eyes.
Qian Yuemei shuddered, shut up awkwardly, and trotted to the kitchen.
In this family, the mother-in-law has the final say. If her mother-in-law controls her, she can only suffer.
When the Su family was poor, she dared to fight back, but now she doesn’t dare to do that.
Mrs. Su forced a smile on her face and said, "Madam, you misunderstood. Mother-in-law just took pity on me because I'm not feeling well. I hurt myself giving birth to a child, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get pregnant again in this lifetime."
Ye's face was a little embarrassed.
Didn't what she said just now just rub salt into other people's wounds?
"That's my fault," Ye said apologetically, "I hope the eldest sister-in-law of the Su family doesn't mind."
"Madam, you are too kind." Mrs. Su said quickly.
Ye said, "How about this? I know a doctor with good medical skills. When you go to the county town in a few days, I will take you to see him. You are still young, and there is a chance that he can be cured and you can have more children soon."
"Thank you for your kindness, Madam." Mrs. Su said gratefully, "Everything depends on fate. I already have a son, so whether I can have another one or not depends on fate."
At this point, why would she care whether she could have a baby?
She only hoped that she could live a few more years, watch her son grow up, and watch her younger sister get married...
After hearing what Mrs. Su said, Ye decided not to force it any further.
Little Tangbao ran over and took Mrs. Su's hand.
"Sister-in-law." Little Tangbao said softly.
She went to the market today, and her sister-in-law was at home, so she must have felt uneasy again.
She had to calm her sister-in-law down.
Mrs. Su looked down at Xiao Tangbao, and her eyes immediately softened.
"Auntie, are you tired? Are you hot? I've made some hawthorn water for you. It's in the well. I'll take you there to drink later..."
"Yeah, sister-in-law is the best."
Little Tangbao smiled sweetly.
Ye looked at the interaction between Xiao Tangbao and Mrs. Su, with a hint of envy in her eyes.
Then he said to Mrs. Su, "You are lucky to be able to marry into the Su family. With Fu Ya here, you can get what you want without the need for a doctor's treatment."
"Thank you for your good wishes, madam." Mrs. Su said with a smile.
As soon as she saw her sister-in-law, she felt much more relieved.
Old Mrs. Su gave the things to Su Xiaoliu to take to the kitchen, and quickly invited Ye into the house to chat.
Old Man Su also invited County Magistrate Zheng, who had gotten off the car and started circling around the old ox again, to come into the house.
Before County Magistrate Zheng entered the house, he looked back at the old ox reluctantly.
It seemed as if the next moment, this old ox would soar into the sky and show him what a miracle is.
Seeing this, Old Man Su was speechless.
A few people entered the room, exchanged greetings, and then got down to business.
County Magistrate Zheng was not vague and directly stated his purpose.
"The Duke of England's Mansion?" Old Man Su asked in surprise, "How did the Duke of England's Mansion know about Tang Bao?"
County Magistrate Zheng and Ye looked at each other.
Ye said, "The family of the Duke of Ying passed by Fengqi County and happened to be staying there when the Third Young Mistress was about to give birth. Our Fu Ya is very famous, so perhaps that's why they heard about Fu Ya..."
The moment Mrs. Su heard about the Duke of England's Mansion, her expression turned extremely ugly.
However, she did not rush to speak. Instead, she looked at County Magistrate Zheng and his wife and asked, "I wonder if you, my lord and madam, know anything about the young master of the Duke of Ying's mansion?"
"After all, our family is just a farming family. Although Tang Bao is the village chief, the Duke of Ying will never take such a position seriously."
"I don't know why the Duke of Ying would condescend to marry into the Su family?"
Old Mrs. Su spoke slowly, the light in her eyes dim and unclear.
After all, they had been married for many years, and Old Man Su immediately noticed something strange about his wife.
I couldn't help but feel moved.
When County Magistrate Zheng heard Old Lady Su ask this, he sighed inwardly.
Mrs. Su is a very clear-headed person and cannot be compared with those women who like to curry favor with the powerful.
Now, when he heard the proposal from the Duke of England, instead of showing any surprise that he could achieve success overnight, he was calm and measured, and saw the situation clearly, and immediately grasped the key point.
"To be honest, I've heard that the young master of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion has been weak since childhood and isn't destined for longevity," County Magistrate Zheng said bluntly. "I think he wants to marry Fu Ya because he's heard she's blessed, and he wants to save his young master's life..."
"What?!" Old Man Su yelled, "A sickly person wants to marry my daughter to bring good luck! They're dreaming! "
Old Mrs. Su was not as angry as Old Man Su. Instead, her eyes softened as she looked at County Magistrate Zheng and his wife.
It seems that although I don’t know what the county magistrate’s wife thinks, at least this county magistrate treats my family sincerely.
"Madam, please go back to the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion. Our Su family doesn't dare to marry into the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion. Please ask them to choose another good match." Old Lady Su said to Ye.
Ye showed a complex expression that was both unexpected and expected, and nodded.
Then, he said, "Please don't tell anyone, Madam Su. It was my master who informed us that the young master of the Duke's Mansion was not feeling well..."
"Of course. Even if Madam didn't say anything, we know the severity of this matter and would definitely not disclose it to anyone," Old Lady Su said solemnly. "The County Magistrate and Madam have spoken frankly to us. We are deeply grateful to them. How could we possibly betray them and bring disaster upon them?"
Mrs. Su paused and emphasized, "Madam, don't worry. If the Duke of Ying holds a grudge against the Su family, no matter what means they use, the Su family will bear the consequences. Even if it means risking the lives of the entire Su family, we will definitely not implicate you and Madam."
