Chapter 568: Are Emotions Still Valuable?
When Su Nuan saw who was coming, she reflexively stood in front of Xue and protected her behind her.
Then Su Nuan asked coldly: "What are you doing here?"
The surrounding noise suddenly died down, even the sparrows under the eaves fell silent.
Xue only felt a murderous aura rising from Su Nuan's body, which made her, the general's mother, tremble in her heart. This child is growing up so fast.
The man was shocked by this posture and took a half step back. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I hope my daughter-in-law is well..."
The person who came was Ling Cang's father, the once majestic general Ling Weiyuan.
But at this moment, he was as thin as a stick, and his coarse linen clothes made him look very miserable. There was no trace of the pride he once had when he insisted on marrying a concubine.
Su Nuan didn't have a good impression of him and was afraid that he would hurt her mother-in-law's feelings.
Mrs. Xue chuckled and said, "Old man, please don't make false acquaintances. This is my daughter-in-law."
Her tone was very relaxed, as if she really didn't know the person in front of her.
Then she took out a few copper coins of the smallest denomination and said with a smile, "Old man, are you too tired to afford medical treatment? Here, these are rewards for you. Use them to pay for medical treatment, or else they won't remember that you are a human being, not a dog."
After saying that, she threw the copper coin in her hand at Ling Weiyuan's feet.
The copper coins bounced and rolled on the bluestone slabs, making pleasant sounds.
But Ling Weiyuan heard strong ridicule and insults. He clenched his fists in anger and veins popped out on his forehead.
Su Nuan turned around and looked at Xue. She was very calm, with no hatred or sadness in her eyes, as if she was just looking at an unrelated stranger.
At this moment, Su Nuan admired her mother-in-law very much. Mrs. Xue was so broad-minded that she could let go of such a scumbag and let him live freely with his mistress.
How could Xue not understand what Su Nuan was thinking? She pulled Su Nuan and said, "Let's go home."
Su Nuan nodded, "Yeah, yeah, let's go home and eat meat."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left affectionately.
Ling Weiyuan's face was as dark as iron, and his eyes were red as he stared at the copper coins on the ground, as if he wanted to stare holes into them with his eyes.
He was shaking all over, his knuckles were white from exertion, and he looked like a toad about to burst its belly.
A man with a pointed chin and monkey-like face in the crowd suddenly cried out in a strange voice: "Hey, hey!" Is he crazy about climbing up the social ladder?
An old lady carrying a vegetable basket nearby immediately chimed in, "That's right!"
She curled her lips in disdain and spat on the ground, "Why don't you take a basin of water to look at your face? How dare you come to recognize your relatives?"
"Mrs. Xue is a kindhearted person. She's lucky she didn't break your legs."
"Also, keep those two vixens in your family under control. Stop them from constantly flirting with other men and ruining the simple customs of our northern land."
The crowd of onlookers burst into laughter, and some even deliberately threw the rotten vegetable leaves in their hands at Ling Weiyuan.
Ling Weiyuan's face turned from blue to purple, and then from purple to black, just like a discolored pig liver.
He suddenly raised his head and looked around fiercely, but saw that everyone was looking at him as if he were a bug.
Su Nuan turned around and saw this scene. She decided to watch coldly, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth.
She took Xue's arm and whispered, "Mom, don't get angry with this kind of person. It's not worth it."
Xue nodded and said calmly: "The great hero in my heart is dead. He is just a stranger who looks like him."
"So how he lives is none of my business. Keeping a man like him in the mansion and having to pay for his food is no better than raising two pigs."
Su Nuan chuckled, "Yes, if you raise a pig, you can kill it and eat its meat, but if you raise an ungrateful wolf, you might get bitten."
Xue raised her hands, covered her face with her sleeves and laughed. She was happy to see that the guy who wanted to marry a concubine was not living well.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law bought some vegetables and went back.
After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Su Nuan walked towards her own courtyard.
When she reached the Moon Gate, she suddenly stopped. She didn't know when a line of words appeared on the archway.
"Nuanxiang Garden?"
She whispered these three words, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.
The handwriting is exactly the same as the plaque outside the mansion gate. It must have been carved by Ling Cang himself.
She jumped up and touched the writing, but her hands were stained with gravel, obviously having been carved recently.
Did Ling Cang come back to carve it? Wasn't he directing the work over there in the square?
Su Nuan was puzzled. She walked into the door and saw a newly paved cobblestone path under her feet. Every stone was round and smooth.
Although it hadn't rained for a long time, there wasn't a trace of withered grass in the yard.
The lawn was neatly trimmed, and the leaves of the big trees rustled in the breeze, as if welcoming her back.
Su Nuan felt a warm feeling in her heart. This was the feeling of being cared for by someone.
She happily returned to the house, only to find that there was a small house behind it. She went out again and went to the back of the house.
When you push open the door of the hut, you can see a clean toilet, a bathtub and a stove with a large pot embedded in it.
This is obviously a high-end version of the toilet. No, to describe it according to the words in the new knowledge, this is a perfect bathroom.
Su Nuan usually takes a bath in the space, and this time she really wants to try the big bathtub here.
The bathtub is made of pure white wood and is polished very smoothly. What’s exciting is that it has two pure gold fixing rings on the outside.
Each circle is three fingers wide, making the ordinary wooden barrel look unusually noble and luxurious.
The Space Spirit chuckled, "Tsk tsk, this is how well I know you to make a bathtub like this. Just these two fixing rings must weigh four or five pounds if removed.
Su Nuan leaned in and touched the bathtub. The gold was very soft, so the two rings were very thick. When they were removed, they weighed about four or five pounds.
The space spirit smiled and said, "I'll help you draw out the hot water from the space."
Su Nuan shook her head, "No, I'll boil some water after dinner."
The space spirit nodded, "Okay, I still need to go out and get some cold water. Shouldn't you get a maid?"
Su Nuan shook her head like a rattle, "No, no, no, I don't want another pair of eyes watching me."
The space spirit asked in confusion: "Are you afraid that the Ling family will monitor you?"
Mentioning the Ling family, Su Nuan's tone softened, "No, I'm used to living alone now."
"Besides, I'm not the young lady I used to be. I can stand on my own feet."
The space spirit chuckled, "That's right, my master is as beautiful as a fairy, can carry thousands of pounds, and can go out of the living room and into the kitchen!"
Su Nuan chuckled, "You really are good at flattering people. Do you have something to ask of me?"
The space spirit chuckled and said, "Remember to smuggle some delicious food from the kitchen for me later. It would be best if you could steal some braised pig's trotters for me."
Su Nuan agreed without hesitation, "Of course."
Seeing that Su Nuan agreed, the spatial spirit became more aggressive and said, "You were wrong just now. I'm not flattering you. I'm providing you with emotional value."
Su Nuan was stunned. "Emotional value? Emotions have value?"
The space spirit hummed and said, "Of course there is. When a person is materially rich, doesn't he lack spiritual food? Emotions are spiritual food."
Su Nuan touched her nose. It was the first time she heard such a statement. "Well, emotional value is flattery."
