The Regent's Palace specially arranged a carriage without the palace's logo.
This carriage is well-made and decorated with dark materials, which makes it look simple, low-key and inconspicuous.
So when the carriage stopped at the gate of He Mansion, people on the road did not pay much attention to it.
Su Wanti lifted the car curtain and frowned slightly.
"Why stop here? Let's go to the side door." She said to the maidservant from the palace who was accompanying her.
The little maidservant never spoke a word along the way and obeyed Su Wanti's every word.
She immediately turned around and told the driver through the curtain, "Go to the side gate of He's house."
When they arrived at the side door of the He Mansion, the little maid got off the carriage, opened the door curtain, and helped Su Wanti get off.
Only after Su Wanti's back disappeared from the He Mansion did she get on the carriage and ask the driver to drive back to the palace.
As soon as Su Wanti stepped into the He Mansion, Mrs. He received the letter.
She didn't sleep all night, fearing that Su Wanti would be sent back by the Regent.
Wouldn't that mean her son is beyond saving?
I waited anxiously all night.
Fortunately, it was dawn and Su Wanti had returned, brought back by the Regent's Palace's carriage.
Although there was no sign on the carriage, it was impossible to tell from its appearance which mansion it belonged to.
But the coachman on the carriage and the maid who helped Su Wanti get off the carriage looked respectful and strict in observing the rules. They must not have been taught by ordinary people.
Presumably, the Regent was quite satisfied with Su Wanti, so he carefully arranged an unmarked carriage and sent servants from the mansion to bring Su Wanti back.
It seems that my son is saved.
Mrs. He Liu closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and silently chanted "Amitabha".
After receiving the letter from my son, I felt a little relieved.
At the same time, Liu felt a little uncomfortable.
Although Su Wanti was forced to give herself to the Regent in order to save her son's life, and she was the one who knocked him out, changed his clothes and put him in the sedan chair, she still felt very uncomfortable.
I feel that this woman is no longer clean and is not worthy of her son.
"Hmm..." She snorted and looked up to ask her confidant, Matron Li.
"How does she look? Did she say anything after returning home? Is she not acting so desperately anymore?"
Liu still remembered how Su Wanti, a chaste and heroic woman, had refused to give in last night and smashed a bunch of vases and porcelain in her room.
Nanny Li's eyes turned, she came closer and whispered:
"Young Madam looks well. Although she looks a little tired, her face is rosy, her eyes are bright, and she looks well-nourished... Moreover, she is dressed radiantly, wearing a cloud brocade dress with extremely intricate and beautiful embroidery, which must be worth a fortune. And her shoes are inlaid with an enormous pearl, which is even larger than the one on the phoenix crown at your wedding!"
Hearing this, Liu was displeased, her lips drooped, and she glanced at Li Ma.
Nanny Li clapped her hands and said, "I said the wrong thing..."
"However, looking at the Young Madam's demeanor, I feel that the Regent must be very fond of her and loved her very much last night..."
"Bang!" Liu's hand slammed the table hard, her brows knitted together, her eyes fierce. "This little whore, asked her to save my son, she actually enjoys it."
"Looking at how fussy she was last night, I thought she was some truly chaste and virtuous woman, but it turns out she was just pretending."
"Madame Li, go make her some contraceptive soup and send it to her right away. It's okay for her to lose her virginity, but she can't get pregnant with someone else's bastard."
————
Su Wanti returned to her yard, and before she could sit down, her mother-in-law Liu came to the door.
Liu put on a fake smile and pretended to be concerned about Su Wanti at first, but then tears came to her eyes and she said she was sorry for making Su Wanti suffer.
Liu is always like this. She acted very well, showing the image of being tolerant, gentle and good-tempered.
She hid her cruelty and indifference deep down. Even when she wanted to harm someone, she would sharpen the knife gently and stab with a caring look on her face.
Liu, who had always been kind and compassionate to her in her previous life, pushed her to a dead end. After her death, Liu did not even have the slightest pity for her.
Liu also cursed her, saying that she was unfilial for not listening to her elders and unfaithful for not wanting to save her husband.
They said that a person like her who was disloyal and unfilial was not worthy of being buried in the He family's ancestral tomb and was not worthy of being worshipped by the He family's descendants.
Liu was resentful of her because she did not obediently devote herself to the regent and delayed her from saving her son. She did not even prepare a thin coffin for her, but had her wrapped in a straw mat and buried hastily.
Fortunately, Su Wanti was usually kind to her servants. Several maids in her yard secretly pooled their money and bought her a cheap coffin, leaving her with a little dignity.
Now, Su Wanti looked at her mother-in-law Liu's smiling face which was full of love and apology, and sneered in her heart.
If possible, she really wanted to dig out Liu's heart to see what color her heart was.
Is it made of stone or ice...it is definitely not made of human flesh and blood.
She didn't understand. They were both women and had been together day and night for three years, so why was Liu so heartless and indifferent to her?
Over the past three years, she has taken care of Liu like her own mother, being diligent and frugal, respectful and filial, without any disobedience.
Just because she was unwilling to sacrifice her innocence, Liu resented and hated her, regarded her as an enemy, and even refused to give her face after death?
Liu wanted to save her son, but did she ever think that she, Su Wanti, was also someone else's daughter, a daughter who had a mother who cared about her, and not a tool of her He family?
Su Wanti didn't listen to what Liu said at all. Now she just regarded everything Liu said as bullshit.
