Chapter 270: Women are the least worthy of mention in the power of aristocratic families
Tang Yuli opened her mouth and made a sound, which startled General Tang and Liuli so much that they looked at her mouth.
Seeing that she was indeed speaking, and the sound was indeed coming from her mouth, General Tang stood up in surprise and wanted to rush over, but he was afraid of scaring Tang Yuli, so he took a step and stopped hurriedly, calling out to Liuli anxiously: "Listen, what is Yuli saying?"
No need to be told, Liuli was already listening nearby.
It’s just that Tang Yuli’s voice is so soft that he can only make a babbling sound, which doesn’t sound real.
"It seems to be referring to Rui...Su Rui!" Liuli thought of it and asked Tang Yuli hurriedly, "Miss, are you talking about Su Rui, Concubine Su?"
"Rui." This time, the voice was much clearer.
"Miss, do you want to meet Concubine Su?" Liuli asked.
But Tang Yuli couldn't answer. Judging from his eyes, he seemed trapped again.
Based on her understanding of the young lady, Liuli thought for a moment and said to General Tang, "General, the young lady probably wants to see Concubine Su. This morning, I told her about Concubine Su regaining consciousness."
Su Rui.
Tang Yuli wanted to see Su Rui, so he had to go to Prince Yong's mansion now.
And went to Prince Yong's Mansion...
"Lili, do you really want to meet Su Rui?"
Tang Yuli couldn't make a sound, but nodded.
Even though the magnitude was very small, as a father, General Tang could see it.
…
Since waking up, Su Ruidu's health has been getting better day by day, all thanks to the medicine made by Abbot Kongming.
Although Yun Ji did not specify what was used in the medicine, Su Rui knew that it must be something extremely rare, far superior to the thousand-year-old snow ginseng.
But Yun Ji didn't say anything, and she didn't ask. After all, it was all in the past. Sometimes it was not good to dig into the matter. As long as she was alive and well, that was enough.
But once my body recovered, my mind became more active.
Su Rui was locked in the room day after day, feeling really bored. Unfortunately, Luo E was now more elusive than the secret guards. She would appear like a ghost as soon as she made any movement.
And Xiaoru has that big loudspeaker. Not to mention going out, even going to the ground can make everyone in the palace know what’s going on.
Fortunately, there is someone who can come to see her and relieve her boredom.
Yue Heyun not only brought gifts, but also the latest news from outside and the account books of Fengyunlou.
Su Rui looked at the ever-increasing figures in the account book and smiled from ear to ear. She asked casually, "Is Pei Yan still provoking you recently?"
Yue Heyun nodded helplessly, "He was just staring at me. He still has some dignity to uphold, so he hasn't made a scene since last time."
"Not hindering your business?"
"Business is never smooth sailing. Just treat him as an obstacle. Besides, the Pei family is not good at business and they don't know many tricks, so they can't stop me. What's more, I have you as my partner, and those shopkeepers will always give me some face." Yue Heyun was very glad for the choice she made. Otherwise, she would have been locked up in the Pei family and waited for death.
"Then you can get dividends in the future."
"From now on, my business will have a share of the profits from my concubine."
"Then I have to pray to the gods and hope that Miss Yue will achieve great success and rise to prominence, so that I can sit back and collect money."
Su Rui said with a smile, and both of them narrowed their eyes.
Looking at the lively Su Rui in front of her, Yue Heyun couldn't help but sigh, "Concubine, I'm glad you made it through. I was terrified when I received the news that day."
Su Rui, who was also pregnant, understood that Yue Heyun was not only worried about her but also afraid that she would encounter the same thing.
Su Rui reached out and patted the back of her hand. "I am suffering from an underlying medical condition. You are in better shape than me, and you are having a single baby, so you will be fine. If you are afraid, please ask my three midwives to come."
"Then I won't be polite." Yue Heyun sank down again and sighed, "Giving birth to a sober person like us is like walking through the gates of hell. If you are not sober, I can't imagine it."
Not sober?
Realizing something, Su Rui asked, "Are you talking about Miss Tang Er?"
Yue Heyun nodded, "Yes, a few days ago, the Second Prince brought ten carts of gifts to the Second Miss Tang to apologize. Although General Tang did not accept the gifts, he did not return them either. He left them outside the mansion gate under guard. But in the end, the outcome was the same. It's really pitiful."
As a woman herself, and having once been the wife of the Pei family, Yue Heyun could best understand the difficulties and hardships involved.
If she herself was in such a state, one could imagine how Tang Yuli, an unconscious person, would be treated if she married the Second Prince. Even if Yue Heyun didn't know what the Second Prince had done to Tang Yuli, in such a marriage, the woman was just a chess piece to be exchanged, a chain to connect them, not even a human being.
How could it be good to treat a chess piece or a chain? Moreover, the Second Prince's status was higher than that of Prince Long's Mansion. He could treat Tang Yuli however he wanted, and Prince Long's Mansion could not and would not do anything.
In the power of aristocratic families, women are the least worth mentioning.
Su Rui also heard about the Second Prince's visit, but it was not up to her to make the decision.
They wanted to win over General Tang, and she selfishly didn't want Tang Yuli to be sent into the abyss, but this was ultimately a matter between the Tang and Lin families.
Even though General Tang was angry about what Prince Long had done and now brought it up, seemingly drawing a line between himself and Prince Long's mansion, after all, you can't write two Tang characters with one stroke, not to mention that the two are brothers and there are hundreds of people in the Tang family.
Even if General Tang did not continue to associate with them, he would not stand against Prince Long's Mansion. What's more, things in the world are not black and white. They are complicated and involved, and it is difficult to judge right or wrong.
There is momentary anger, but more of it is the weighing of the pros and cons after calming down.
Therefore, the result is most likely to be the sacrifice of Tang Yuli.
"Being pregnant is always sentimental. I forgot that you, Concubine, need to be at ease now. No more talking about this. It's getting late. I'll take my leave now. I'll come visit Concubine and the two young masters another day."
Yue Heyun stood up and said this. Su Rui wanted to keep her, but when she looked at the clepsydra in the corner, it was almost an hour.
Su Rui was reluctant to leave. Nothing made her wish more than this moment that there was someone staying here with her, or at least someone who could walk around with her.
Yue Heyun felt Su Rui's reluctance, but also felt Luo E's eyes. After all, Luo E was more powerful. She could only give Su Rui an apologetic look and quickly slip away.
But before he stepped out of the door, Xiaoru's voice broke in.
"Concubine! General Tang has come with Miss Tang Er, saying they are here to visit you."
Su Rui and Yue Heyun were both shocked when they heard this.
General Tang brought Tang Yuli to Prince Yong's mansion to visit Su Rui at this time?
Isn't this clearly going against the Second Prince and the Lin family?
"Please come in quickly." Realizing what was going on, Su Rui quickly ordered.
Yue Heyun also retracted her foot and said with a smile: "Miss Tang Er is unconscious, so I will stay and take care of her."
Knowing her cautious and sharp mind as a businessman, Su Rui did not drive her away.
