Every time he showed favoritism, he would pretend to scold her, "Su Wantang, your cousin has lost her mother. I feel sorry for her more, so what?"
How can you be so petty and jealous? Having a daughter like you is the worst luck imaginable! Why didn't you die in childbirth?
Su Wantang clenched her fists, suppressing her surging emotions.
“Mom, my cousin lost her mother when she was young. She is a pitiful person who has no mother to raise her, teach her, or love her. I will not compete with my cousin. If my cousin wants to marry into the Huo family, I will marry into the Lu family.”
The three arguments about "not having a mother" left Song Wanying and Liu Cuicui completely bewildered. Song Wanying's expression twisted slightly, but they couldn't refute them.
Upon hearing the second half of the sentence, Song Wanying, who had finally found fault with Su Wantang, immediately raised her hand to slap her.
"Su Wantang, you wretched child, can't you tolerate your cousin at all? Do you think your cousin is like you? Thick-skinned and tough? Able to endure the hardships of farm work?"
Su Wantang grabbed Song Wanying's slap and forcefully shook it off.
She suppressed her nausea and said, "Mom, I didn't say that. Isn't it because my cousin wants to marry into the Huo family? What's wrong with me helping her? Haven't you always taught me to give in to my cousin since we were little?"
"Oh..." Su Wantang exclaimed, covering her mouth. "Could it be... that Mom's kindness towards my cousin was all an act? She wished my cousin were dead?"
“Su Wantang!” Song Wanying raised her arm again.
Su Wantang pointed at Liu Cuicui's departing figure and exclaimed, "Mom, my cousin left because you made her angry."
"Tangtang, your aunt and your mother have a very close sisterly bond—"
Bang.
The closed door blocked Su Zhichen's constant nagging as he followed Su Wantang upstairs, much like a peacemaker.
Su Zhichen doted on her, but loved Song Wanying even more.
Even if Su Wantang reveals the truth, she can't guarantee that Su Zhichen will believe her.
Moreover, the matter of rebirth is too unbelievable, and Su Wantang does not intend to let anyone know.
With more important matters at hand, Su Wantang suppressed her complicated thoughts and locked the door to her room.
She took off the icy jade pendant she had worn around her neck since childhood and bit her fingertip.
The excruciating pain caused Su Wantang to wrinkle her nose instantly, and her innocent, doe-like eyes welled up with tears.
As the blood droplets fell, a flash of emerald light appeared, and Su Wantang arrived in a familiar space.
Just like in my previous life, there was a thatched hut in this space. Inside the hut were various medical books and prescriptions, as well as the phantom of an old man who taught medical skills. Various medicinal herbs were planted outside the thatched hut.
After confirming that the jade pendant had recognized its owner, Su Wantang's soul withdrew.
Looking in the mirror at the water droplet mark on her collarbone, and at the jade pendant's recognition and absorption of its owner's mark, Su Wantang breathed a sigh of relief.
Having established a foothold, Su Wantang began to consider the current situation.
Su Zhichen would not agree to let her go with them to the Northwest to suffer, and there are still 7 years until the end of the turmoil. As a weak woman with such a status, it would be difficult for her to survive in this turbulent era.
Now, there's only one option left: go to the Lu family.
The marriage between the Lu family and the Lu family was a verbal agreement made by the two families after Grandpa saved Old Master Lu.
Given that she was saved by him, as long as she doesn't insist on marrying Lu Huai'an, it shouldn't be difficult for her to obtain protection.
Then she thought of Su Zhichen and felt a little uneasy.
Su Wantang left the room, intending to find Su Zhichen.
The Su family lived in a small villa. Su Wanwan's family lived on the second floor, while the first floor was where the servants used to live.
Su Wantang lived in the innermost room, which was the largest and had the best lighting.
As she went out, she passed by Su Zhichen and Song Wanying's room.
The door wasn't closed properly; there was a crack in it.
Su Wantang was stunned for a moment, but she didn't stop walking. However, the words coming from inside the next second made her freeze in place.
"You mean, you had a dream?"
"In your dream, you married into the family, but Lu Huai'an never touched you, making you suffer all kinds of difficulties in your husband's family. You finally moved into the family compound, only to find Lu Huai'an with another woman?"
"What other woman? It's the white moonlight he can't forget even after he got married."
Su Wantang pondered: It seems that she was right not to consider marrying Lu Huai'an.
Song Wanying found it hard to believe. The Lu family favored the leader; how could they possibly do something so shameless?
"Cui Cui! Your aunt knows you don't want to marry into the Lu family, but this is not the time for you to fool your aunt with your dreams. The Huo family is not a good choice!"
"Huo Jun is not a reliable man! And your mother-in-law, she really knows how to torment her daughter-in-law, and your sister-in-law is no pushover either!"
Su Wantang clenched her fists and continued listening.
Liu Cuicui said indignantly, "Auntie, it's true!"
"Later, Lu Huai'an was caught in bed with that slut and was kicked out of the army."
"What?" Song Wanying exclaimed.
"Then, his whole family took their anger out on me, forcing me to divorce Lu Huai'an and end up homeless."
"Give me some time to process this." Song Wanying was still struggling to accept it and clutched her chest to calm herself down.
Seeing that she still didn't believe her, Liu Cuicui played her trump card.
"Auntie? Perhaps I should call you Mom?"
"I agree to your marriage to Huo Jun, but my daughter can't suffer at all. Aren't the Huo and Lu families both in Beijing?"
When you go to the capital, you might as well stay at the Lu family's house with Su Wantang, instead of going to the Huo family's house in the countryside. When you find Huo Jun, go directly to accompany him on his military journey.
"Auntie, you're so good to me."
"Still calling her aunt?"
"mom."
"Why."
......
Hearing the mother and daughter's affectionate words, Su Wantang gave a cold smile.
That's like throwing an abacus bead in her face.
She turned and left.
After searching the villa for a while, Su Wantang still couldn't find Su Zhichen. She frowned.
Suddenly, she remembered something and walked outside.
