Chapter 504: The Femme Fatale in the Double Life Story (3)
Su Yu slept soundly that night. The system had been busy all night and she could hardly open her eyes. The resentment on her face was heavier than that of a ghost.
If someone had come in last night, they would have seen that the woman on the bed was sleeping soundly, and on the table, there were pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and a cat was holding a brush and copying Buddhist scriptures in violation of the laws of nature.
Su Yu woke up in a daze and touched the system's head: [Good morning. ]
The system meowed, with a look of resentment: [Not good at all.]
Lan Ying, who was outside, heard the noise and knocked on the door gently: "Miss?"
The system yawned and returned to the system space to catch up on some sleep.
Su Yu cleaned up the cat hair on the bed, rubbed her eyes, and said to the outside: "Come in."
Lan Ying came in with some water, helped Su Yu change her clothes, and helped her wash up. She accidentally saw a thick stack of Buddhist scriptures on the table and looked distressed: "Miss, have you been copying Buddhist scriptures all night?"
Su Yu glanced at the stack of papers, feeling a little guilty: "I couldn't sleep, so I got up and copied some. After all, I promised Madam that I would pray for my sister."
Lan Ying felt even more distressed: "You have to take care of yourself."
"I know." Su Yu nodded and asked her to put away the Buddhist scriptures. "How is my sister?"
Lan Ying's eyes flickered, and she sent the other maids away before answering, "The young lady hasn't woken up yet, but..."
"But the fever has subsided. The doctor said she will wake up this afternoon." Lan Ying looked depressed and puzzled when she said this. "The medicine is obviously very effective. Why is it ineffective for the young lady?"
Su Yu paused in drinking tea and clenched her palms tightly, seeming not to notice even though she was burned.
After a long silence, Su Yu took a deep breath and returned to her usual gentle tone: "Did you see her drink the medicine with your own eyes?"
Lan Ying thought about it and shook her head: "The medicine was delivered by Madam Tong. The maid who delivered the medicine was stopped outside and didn't see the scene inside."
Lan Ying also reacted now, a little panicked: "Did Madam find out something was wrong? Will she trace it back to us?"
Su Yu tapped the wall of the cup with her fingertips: "Why are you panicking? We didn't do this, how can we be traced back to us?"
Lan Ying was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded: "Miss is right."
There was still worry in Lan Ying's eyes. She thought, if the matter was really exposed, she would say that she did it and it had nothing to do with the young lady. She had to protect the young lady no matter what.
After packing up, Su Yu didn't even have breakfast and headed straight to Su Miaoer's courtyard: "Let's go and see my sister."
When we arrived at the place, there were many servants in the yard, but the atmosphere was depressing. When we got closer, we saw a man lying in the middle of the yard, his body bloody from being beaten with a board.
When Lan Ying saw the man's appearance clearly, she covered her mouth in fear.
He was the servant who usually looked after the cruise ship in the mansion. Su Miaoer fell into the water because the railing of the cruise ship broke, so it was this servant who had something to do with it.
The man was in a weak voice: "Madam, please spare my life..."
Su Yu seemed reluctant to say, "This criminal is pitiful, but also really hateful. If it weren't for him, how could my sister have suffered such a disaster? I wonder if he thought about what would happen to his family in the future when he neglected his duties?"
Lan Ying also whispered: "I heard that his son is seriously ill..."
When mentioning the criminal's family, Su Yu's tone became a little heavier, like a reminder, but also like a threat.
The person on the ground had a weak breath, and his eyes flashed a few times when he heard what the two said.
In the end, he said nothing and was dragged away.
Su Yu looked calm as she scanned the long trail of blood on the ground. She said to the servants in the yard, "Please go in and tell them that I'm here to visit my sister."
Su Yu has a good temper and a kind heart. She will help anyone in the mansion who is in trouble and she has a very good reputation among the servants.
The servant looked at her and said, "Second Miss, wait a moment."
Soon the servant came out: "Madam asks you to come in."
The courtyard was filled with a strong smell of medicine, and the closer one got to the room, the stronger the smell became. Su Miaoer lay on the bed with her eyes closed, her face pale. If the court doctor had not said that she would wake up in the afternoon, she would have looked like she would die at any time.
A trace of regret flashed across Su Yu's eyes.
"Greetings to mother. I was worried about my sister, so I went home yesterday and copied Buddhist scriptures to pray for her. I was so happy to hear that she woke up today." The joy on Su Yu's face didn't seem fake.
Madam Hou glanced at her calmly and said, "You are thoughtful."
Su Yu had been in for a long time, but no one brought a chair for her. She had been kneeling for so long yesterday, and now she was still a little unstable when standing. She had to rely on Lan Ying to stand up straight.
The marquis's wife deliberately left her alone for a while.
Madam Tong deliberately said, "Madam, the eldest lady is blessed by heaven, but there are some filthy people who are ruining her fortune. It is better to let all the strangers leave, and the eldest lady will surely wake up faster."
Beads of sweat appeared on Su Yu's forehead. She lowered her brows and closed her eyes to hide the cruelty and disgust in her eyes.
Lan Ying was angry but dared not say anything, she could only glare at Nanny Tong quietly.
Madam Hou knew that Madam Tong was trying to please her, so she didn't scold her. She glanced at Su Yu calmly and said, "The Marquis just came over and said he hadn't seen you for a long time and had something to tell you. You should come over."
She didn't say it earlier or later, but only said it after Nanny Tong said that. Even though her reasons were legitimate, it was obvious at a glance that she was trying to bully Su Yu.
Su Yu just pretended not to know: "Yes, my daughter will be there soon."
Before leaving, Su Yu glanced at the smug Nanny Tong, and the smile on her lips faded a little.
After leaving Su Miaoer's courtyard, Lan Ying's eyes turned red with anger: "That evil servant is so abominable!"
Su Yu looked indifferent, as if she didn't care.
When passing by the lake, she paused, her eyes rested on the stones by the lake for a moment, then she looked away as if nothing had happened and continued walking forward.
"It rained a few days ago, and moss has grown on the rocks. Be careful when you walk, and don't slip. It's okay during the day, but at night, the water is cold and the servants won't be able to rescue you in time."
Lan Ying immediately understood what she meant. She hesitated, but then she made up her mind: "Miss, you are right. Lan Ying knows."
Su Yu didn't even blink: "Yeah."
When it comes to harming people, it's easier the second time than the first time. Su Yu seems to be getting better and better at it.
When they arrived at the study of Marquis Yongchang, Su Yu asked someone to go in and report.
Soon someone invited her in, and to Su Yu's surprise, she saw Xie Qinglan again.
"Thank you, sir." Su Yu lowered her head slightly.
"Second Miss." Xie Qinglan also nodded in return, and the emotions in his eyes were well restrained. At least Su Yu could not see any gloomy look in his eyes. His eyes were clear, as if the two had never really met each other.
After a simple greeting, Su Yu walked into the study without looking back, so naturally she didn't see Xie Qinglan stopping and staring at her.
The servant beside him couldn't help but call out to Xie Qinglan: "Master Xie?"
Xie Qinglan turned around, his face natural: "Let's go."
Lan Ying was not qualified to enter the study, so she stood guard outside and spoke quietly to the maid she was on good terms with, asking her to go to the kitchen and bring some food.
Xie Qinglan passed by Lan Ying and stopped as if possessed by a ghost, and asked, "She... the second young lady hasn't had breakfast yet?"
Lan Ying glanced at him, with surprise in her eyes. People often say that a young man is as beautiful as jade, and the man in front of her definitely deserves this description.
pity……
Lan Ying glanced at the clothes on him which were not made of good material and thought it was a pity. She heard that he was a poor scholar and was only able to meet the Marquis because his father had some connections with the Marquis' Mansion.
