"Don't worry, Miss. We will take good care of the house. We will prepare your clothes, shoes and socks for you in advance. I will trouble An He for the books."
Zi Yan responded immediately.
Although Zi Su next to him was a little unhappy, he knew that this was not the time to be willful, so he just nodded reluctantly.
"It's not like we haven't seen each other for three years. You can go stay at the manor for two days while you send me some writing materials."
Ripple promised.
"Yes, Miss!"
Zi Su’s little face finally stopped being tense.
At this time, Aunt Tang Huirong hurried into the courtyard, followed by a doctor. Seeing two servants helping Lianyi change clothes, her eyes became fierce and she was about to get angry, but she saw Lianyi looking at her coldly. Her heart skipped a beat and she immediately changed her expression and said with a worried look:
"Lianyi, my aunt has asked a doctor to come and check your pulse first. Don't hurt your body."
Lian Yi was leaning on the bed at this time, facing the doctor carrying the medicine box, and said coldly:
"What did my good aunt tell you? She told you to reduce the dosage of the medicine so that I can recover more slowly, so that you can earn more money and she can achieve her ulterior motives?"
After Lian Yi finished speaking, Tang Huirong and the doctor's faces changed. Before the other party could speak, Lian Yi continued:
"The housekeeper has gone to ask the doctor from Xinglin Hall, please go back!"
When the doctor saw that the situation was not right, he dared not stay any longer. If he got involved, he didn't know if he could escape unscathed, so he simply bowed and turned away.
Tang Huirong's face turned a little unhappy, and she pretended to be angry and said:
"Lianyi, what do you mean? I'm doing this for your own good."
"You are doing this for my own good. You are trying to seize my Su family's assets, right? You also want to marry your son who is not presentable to me. If you are not afraid of losing both your wife and your army, then let him enter my Su family. I will make his life a living hell.
I advise you to be sensible and quietly attend my parents' funeral and then leave. If you don't know what's good for you, I have plenty of ways to deal with you.
The elders of the Su family will be here soon. The funeral of the Su family does not need an outsider like you to interfere. Go back to your guest house and don’t make a scene that will embarrass you.”
Lianyi's words could be said to be very impolite, and there was naked contempt in her eyes.
"I am your elder!"
Tang Huirong's face had turned pale with anger, and she shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Elder? Are there elders like you? When I was unconscious in bed, you and that idiot Tang Zijun conspired to marry into my Su family, control me, Su Lianyi, and then turn the Su family's wealth into your Tang family. How stupid do you think I am to let a wolf into the house?"
"you"
"Mrs. Tang, please go back to the guest house and don't disturb our young lady's rest."
Zi Yan also said coldly.
Tang Huirong was still trying to argue, but at this moment, Steward Su came in with a doctor. He ignored the people around him and said to Lianyi:
"Miss, Doctor Liang from Xinglin Hall is here."
"Thank you, Doctor Liang."
Ripple said lightly.
Doctor Liang nodded, then took out a pulse pillow and began to take Lianyi's pulse. The room suddenly became quiet. Tang Huirong did not leave either, waiting to see the diagnosis results.
Doctor Liang asked Lianyi some questions while taking her pulse. A quarter of an hour later, he put away the pulse pillow and began to write two copies of the prescription, which he handed directly to the housekeeper.
"Miss Su must have been shocked by the bad news and was so angry that she vomited blood. Vomiting blood actually cleared up the blocked meridians in her heart, which is a good thing. You should avoid thinking too much now. As long as you stay calm and take the medicine I prescribed, you will recover in seven days."
Doctor Liang said.
"Thank you, Doctor Liang."
Lianyi glanced at Zi Yan, and Zi Yan immediately handed a purse to Doctor Liang, who put it directly into his sleeve pocket and told him that he could come to him again if he felt unwell, and then was sent out by Zi Su.
Tang Huirong, who was standing aside, had a changing expression on her face. After the doctor left, she was about to speak when she heard a noise coming from the front yard.
The housekeeper at the front door walked hurriedly into Lianyi's room, bowed, and then spoke:
"Miss, the matchmaker is here. The housekeeper asked me to get the indentures of those people."
Lianyi nodded and said to Ziyan:
"Go and get it from my mother's room."
"yes!"
After hearing this, Tang Huirong's face changed. She stepped forward to block Zi Yan's way and asked Lian Yi:
"Lian Yi, why are you betraying people now when you are fine?"
"If I don't sell them now, do I have to keep these careless people around and wait for them to betray me?
Auntie, this is the Su Mansion, not your Tang Family, don’t stop my people from doing their work.”
Lian Yi sneered and said to Butler Su:
"Butler Su and Zi Yan should go together. If anything is missing from my mother's room, report it to the police directly. Anyway, I won't be the one to be embarrassed."
"Yes, Miss!"
Tang Huirong was really anxious at this moment. She knew that her niece was not easy to deceive, so she immediately made amends:
"I am keeping the box of the indenture temporarily. I am not afraid that you are young and inexperienced and you might faint after vomiting blood. I am afraid that someone will take advantage of the situation. You should understand my painstaking efforts."
"Alright, I don't want to listen to your explanation. The indentures of my Su family are all registered with the government. It's useless if you steal them. You have to be prepared to go to jail."
Lian Yi said indifferently.
"Mrs. Tang, please!"
Butler Su, with a sullen face, and the housekeeper dragged Tang Huirong out of Lianyi's room.
Tang Huirong had an ugly look on her face and kept cursing, but she knew that she was powerless. If she really reported the matter to the police, she would never be able to face anyone again. She could only reluctantly take the box containing the indenture.
"Zi Su, go to Tang Zijun and take back everything that belongs to the Su family. Don't keep anything. Then give it to the guards in front of him."
Lianyi took a sip of the tea brought by Zi Yan and gave instructions in a calm voice.
Zi Su's eyes lit up after hearing this. He responded and called for people to find trouble with Tang Zijun. He had wanted to deal with that little bitch for a long time.
Zi Yan seemed to be hesitant to speak, but finally said:
"Miss, isn't this a bad idea?"
"There's nothing wrong with that. If you deal with someone like that, you'd better beat him to death with one blow, otherwise he will keep pestering you endlessly."
Lianyi handed over the teacup in her hand.
"Yes, ma'am."
At this time, the book boy An He came running to see Lian Yi:
"Miss, the third and fifth old ladies of the Su family have arrived and are in the front hall now."
"Help me to meet them."
Ripple ordered immediately.
Zi Yan quickly dressed Lian Yi in mourning clothes, put a white flower in her hair, and watched the two of them go to the front hall to meet someone.
"Su Lianyi, I greet the two elders!"
Lianyi walked in with the help of Anhe and bowed deeply to the two elders.
"Good boy, get up! I'm sorry for that!"
The third and fifth old ladies were both in their sixties, but they were in good spirits and had clear eyes. When they saw Lian Yi’s pale face, they did not let her complete the ceremony and asked the younger generations around them to help Lian Yi up.
The third old lady then asked softly:
"Lianyi, I heard that you vomited blood and fainted after hearing the bad news. Are you still holding on now?" (End of this chapter)
