The Self-Torture Scheme
Since the old lady of the Fu family started eating according to the recipe Su Yunwei suggested, her originally frail body has become able to walk briskly.
"Oh, old lady, please slow down." Nanny Jinxiu followed behind, but she couldn't catch up with the old lady who was lying on the sickbed.
"Hurry up, old thing!" The old lady stopped and saw her panting. She stood with her hands on her hips, waiting for her to come over. She said disdainfully, "How come you are not as good as a patient like me?"
Nanny Jinxiu had been with the old lady since she was a child, and the bond between them had long surpassed any sisterly love: "It's not that I'm old and useless, unlike the old lady who is still full of energy at her age."
"You are useless, so who can be useful? Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly." The old lady glanced at her, then turned around and continued to walk forward, with Nanny Jinxiu still following closely behind her.
·····
"Weiwei, eat more. I made these in the kitchen today." Du Yinyin picked up some dishes for Su Yunwei, who was eating with her head down. While observing her expression, she sighed secretly in her heart.
Fu Changan also lowered his head, not daring to look at Su Yunwei. Whenever he thought of what happened during the day, he wanted to crawl into the ground.
Su Yunwei held the bowl and glanced at Fu Changan sitting opposite her. He usually sat next to her. It seemed that the ingredients were a bit too strong. She should take it slow.
Fu Changan mechanically ate at the rice in his bowl, devouring it without any vegetables. He even felt like stuffing himself into the bowl. The usually effortless general was now unable to even notice the sly smile from the woman across from him.
He just chewed the tasteless rice.
Du Yinyin looked at him as if he had seen a ghost. How could the gentleman who was usually so elegant and clear-minded look like... like a fool? She nudged Fu Li, who was eating beside her, and gestured to him to look at Fu Changan, who looked a little strange.
Fu Li stopped eating, looked at his son's absent-minded state, then looked at Su Yunwei, shook his head in regret, and then continued eating.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Du Yinyin and Fu Li didn't say much, but Fu Mingyue, noticing something unusual, asked directly, "Why do you look so distracted? Did you do something wrong?"
Whenever she thought of the night when Fu Changan climbed over the wall to bring a lantern to Su Yunwei, she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
Upon hearing this, Fu Changan's unswallowed mouthful of rice nearly went into his trachea. He started coughing violently, his face flushing crimson. He hurriedly picked up a bowl of soup and gulped it down, stammering, "No...no, you're overthinking it."
Su Yunwei looked at his expression, and the corners of her mouth that had been raised couldn't help but want to laugh out loud. She was afraid of being noticed by them, so she could only lower her head quickly and pretend to concentrate on eating the food in the bowl, but her slightly shaking shoulders still revealed her smile.
Fu Mingyue was just about to tease her brother a few more times when she heard a burst of strong laughter coming from outside the door.
"It seems that my old lady has arrived at the right time!"
Old Madam Fu walked in with great energy, followed by Nanny Jinxiu.
Everyone at the table stood up and greeted them.
The old lady waved her hand, signaling everyone to sit down, but her eyes fell softly on Su Yunwei: "Weiwei, come here."
Su Yunwei stepped forward, confused. The old lady took her hand affectionately and patted it soothingly: "Good girl, I heard about what happened during the day. You've been wronged! Don't worry, Chang'an will definitely seek justice for you."
As she spoke, she took an exquisite rosewood box from Nanny Jinxiu and stuffed it directly into Su Yunwei's hand: "Here, this is a little gift from an old woman like me to calm you down. Inside are some things that girls like. Take a look and see if they suit your taste."
"Thank you, old lady." Su Yunwei held the exquisite little box in her hands, but thought to herself: If this were placed in modern times, it would be an antique.
It’s sent again.
Her main task now is to make money, save money, and realize her dream of buying a house as soon as possible.
In fact, she has become accustomed to medical disputes.
She had this realization since the moment she became a doctor.
Still remember, it was her unlucky senior brother. Maybe it was when bad luck came that it could not be stopped. Su Yunwei was also implicated by him because she had been in contact with him for a long time.
It happened that the senior brother was on vacation that day, and the patient he was treating came to him to make trouble. When they found out that he was not there, they turned their attention to Su Yunwei who was busy writing medical records. Until Su Yunwei was slapped by the patient and had tinnitus in her ears, she didn't remember which patient the patient was.
It was not until her colleague told her that she realized that it was another bad fate caused by his senior brother!
What a sin!
Although I was really scared when I was with the Grand Princess during the day, by now, the fear has almost disappeared.
The eldest princess should also be asked to compensate for the mental damage.
"Good child, no need to thank me. In the final analysis, it is our Fu family that has wronged you. Just stay in our Fu family and live in peace." The old lady patted her hands and looked around the dining table. Especially when she saw Fu Changan with a flickering look in his eyes, she smiled meaningfully and said, "Okay, you guys continue to eat. I, an old woman, will not disturb you young ones from eating."
The old lady did not stay long. She gave Su Yunwei a few words to reassure her, and then left with Nanny Jinxiu.
After finally waiting until the end of dinner, Fu Changan felt as if he had been pardoned. Just as he was about to make an excuse to slip away, Fu Li gave him a look, indicating that he should go with him to pay his respects to the old lady.
Arriving at the old lady's residence, she dismissed her attendants. The old lady looked at Fu Changan with a serious expression: "What do you think about today's matter?"
Fu Changan was stunned when he heard this, then realized that his grandmother must be asking about the Grand Princess's intention to torture Su Yunwei during the day. "My grandson will never allow anyone to bully Weiwei. The Grand Princess's actions are not only an insult to Weiwei, but also a disregard for our Fu family."
"That old widow simply doesn't take our Fu family seriously. Thinking about what happened today, I can't wait to chop off her head." Fu Li stood aside with a fierce look on his face, as if he had a knife in his hand, and he couldn't help but want to swing the knife to chop people.
The old lady couldn't help but roll her eyes. She didn't know whether her son had read all the books he had read over the years or was just pretending to read them.
But he got his official position through his own efforts.
How come his behavior is exactly the same as his dead father's, both so rude.
"Although Li Hao may not be a very talented person, he is good at judging the situation. His mother is overbearing, but he is not stupid. Even if he doesn't come today, he will definitely come to apologize in the future. But we can't just accept this apology so lightly."
Fu Changan's eyes darkened: "What does grandma mean?"
"The eldest princess has been acting more and more erratically over the years, even worse than when she was younger. Even though she didn't succeed this time, there's no guarantee she'll be able to behave in the future." After thinking for a moment, he said, "I must teach her a lesson this time. Let her know that this capital isn't a place where she can do as she pleases. This will also show others what happens when they mess with someone from my Fu family."
Fu Changan bowed and said, "Grandson understands. Grandmother, don't worry. I will handle this matter properly."
The old lady nodded in relief: "You can make your own decision. Make sure she remembers this lesson."
Fu Changan already had a solution in mind, but... he didn't know if the eldest princess could survive.
The next day.
When Li Hao prepared generous gifts and was about to go to the Fu family, Jinglan actually asked to go with him.
"Husband, are you going to the Fu family?" Jinglan took Li Hao's hand and looked at the gifts loaded onto the carriage and said, "Can you take me with you?"
Li Hao looked at Jinglan, who still had a hint of worry between her eyebrows, and said softly: "You are still very weak. How about I take you there when you are well again?"
"It's only logical that I should go and thank Doctor Su in person." Jinglan said softly, but Li Hao was puzzled. She also knew about Doctor Su's stay at the Fu family. She was obviously mentally abnormal that day in the restaurant.
"How do you know about Doctor Su?" Li Hao held her soft hands and looked into her eyes tenderly. She said, "Hong'er told me."
She had no idea that her ex-mother-in-law had tortured Su Yunwei. She just thought that her husband prepared so many gifts this time just to thank him for saving the child in the restaurant.
"My health has improved a lot, but I have been staying at home for so long, I also want to go out for a walk."
Li Hao looked at his wife and thought for a moment, thinking that going out for a walk would indeed be beneficial for her condition, so he nodded in agreement. However, more importantly, he was secretly thinking that this was a good opportunity to express his gratitude, dilute the meaning of his apology, and perhaps ease the relationship with the Fu family.
······
Fu's Hall.
Li Hao's arrival with Jinglan was beyond Fu Changan's expectations. He didn't expect that he would come with a sick wife. This was quite interesting.
Does this man actually want to use the strategy of self-torture to gain his own advantage?
Fu Changan looked at Li Hao. If he found such a subordinate in the army, he would really throw him into the enemy camp and let him fend for himself.
How shameless, shameless and shameless.
But when Mrs. Li Hao bowed her head and thanked Su Yunwei again, Fu Changan's disgust had reached its peak.
How could there be such a man in this world?
Fu Changan's face was cold, as if covered with ice, and he was shivering all over.
Everyone in the Fu family had different expressions when they saw this. Madam Fu and Du Yinyin were polite on the surface, but they were actually confused about Li Hao's behavior.
How did an apology turn into a thank you?
He also brought his sick wife along.
The whole family felt that this was a trick to torture themselves.
Su Yunwei was different. Her focus was on Jinglan's forced look. Her heart sank. This improvement was just a false appearance, like the last breath of a dying person.
