Upon entering the front hall, Su Wan sat down to rest. Two maids brought her tea and snacks.
Su Wan glanced over and saw that the tea was served in a large bowl, with tea leaves still floating on the hot water. The two maids were also quite large and burly, looking like women from farming backgrounds. They asked Lu Zhao with a smile, "Xiao Zhao, where did you find these servants?"
Lu Zhaozheng gulped down his tea, put down the teacup, and said, "Mistress, how would I know how to find servants? Just send a few soldiers to the streets to announce that the house is short of servants and anyone willing to work can come."
Zhao Fu said, "You didn't mention how much the wages were?"
Lu Zhao said, "I didn't mention it. They said they just needed food to eat, so I let them come. What, do I need to pay them wages?"
Zhao Fu looked helplessly at Su Wan and said, "Miss, what do you think..."
Su Wan couldn't help but laugh and said to Zhao Fu, "Uncle Zhao, as I just said, you'll be in charge of things here. Xiao Zhao will be your bodyguard. I need to make some preparations for your surgery in a few days."
She had promised Zhao Fu long ago that she would set his bones again after resolving the ownership issue of Baohetang.
Zhao Fu was surprised that Su Wan hadn't forgotten her promise. He said gratefully, "Miss, my matter isn't important. I've gotten used to it over the years. But what about His Highness the Crown Prince? Won't it have an impact if you don't go to Xiping Pass?"
Su Wan thought of Wei Jingzhuo's lecherous behavior that night and wanted to laugh but was too embarrassed. She said with a straight face, "It's okay, he has to prioritize military affairs. I'll treat Uncle Zhao's leg first, and then I'll wait for my brother here."
She had already sent several guards with a personal letter from Lin Qingfeng to the south to fetch her younger brother, Su Yuze. Based on the round trip, it would take them about ten days to return.
Su Heng and his wife have been driven away, and now she has guards to protect her. It's time to bring her younger brother back for a reunion.
Overjoyed, Zhao Fu couldn't help but shed tears, saying, "The Second Young Master is coming back too! That's wonderful! I'll immediately instruct the servants to make preparations. The New Year is just two months away. We'll celebrate the New Year together here with the Miss and the Second Young Master, and we'll slaughter a few pigs to comfort the spirits of Master and Madam in heaven."
Su Wan smiled and nodded.
When Su Yuze returns, he will be the master of this house, Zhao Fu will be the steward, and the Lu siblings will be the guards. Everything will be in perfect order. She can then go to Xiping Pass with peace of mind to face the Fifth Prince together with Wei Jingzhuo.
She believed that Wei Jingzhuo could definitely defeat the Fifth Prince.
