The nurse choked up and said, "Since I was chosen to be the young master's nurse, grandma didn't use me to feed the young master for even a day. Our head of the family said that grandma disliked me, so she called me a slave..."
"Let your boss die."
Su Nuannuan was so angry that she held the child in one hand and pulled up the nurse with the other hand, saying righteously: "Don't listen to your man's nonsense. I don't mean to dislike you, but you don't know that it's better for this child to drink his mother's milk. Listen to me, go back and kick that bastard hard. He has no confidence in his wife, he deserves to be beaten."
"Nuannuan, calm down. Please be considerate of the servants. Aren't they also a little scared? It's no wonder. There are not many people in the mansion who are as free as Zheng'er's nurse."
The young marquis hurriedly stepped forward to coax his wife, and said to the wet nurse, "Your grandma said this in anger, you don't have to take it to heart." God has mercy on the servants in the mansion, and more and more of them are corrupted by the bad company they keep. Because of Nuannuan, the women's rights in the Anping Marquis's mansion are unique in the whole capital. He would rather not have this kind of limelight.
"How can I not be angry? People outside say that I'm a shrew, but you know, tell me, am I a shrew? Can I be blamed for what happened to Xu Ranyun and Xue Zhilan? Now even Aunt Jiang wants to practice Buddhism, I... I can't clear myself even if I jump into the Pacific Ocean. I finally gave the employees some benefits, and it would be fine if they didn't say they were grateful, but they dared to presumptuously speculate that I wanted to fire the employees for no reason. Am I that kind of black-hearted boss? Tell me, am I... am I more wronged than Dou E?"
Su Nuannuan cried to Duan Tingxuan, and the young marquis immediately hugged her and comforted her, "People outside believe everything they hear. It's a fact that if you are not envied, you are mediocre. Who made you so capable that even the men's limelight is overshadowed by you? If you are angry about this, you will be too angry. Be good, don't be sad. When I have free time, I will take a walk on the street. If I hear anyone say bad things about you, I will beat them up first. As a husband, I have never done anything to bully others since I was a child. This time, for the sake of my wife, I will do it once."
"Well! This... let's not do it, right? Otherwise, people will say that the young marquis is henpecked and his reputation has spread far and wide, making him angry and ashamed. In the end, it will still be my fault as a shrew who beats people up in the street. I'm afraid that in the end, it will become that I 'let my husband commit violence'. Why bother? Forget it."
Duan Tingxuan: ...
With a "puff", the nurse couldn't help laughing. She thought to herself that she allowed her husband to commit a crime? Grandma really dared to say that. What did she think of my grandfather? A big wolf dog?
"Okay, go back and feed the child, and don't forget to teach your man a lesson."
Su Nuannuan insisted on giving the nanny "benefits". Of course, she didn't forget to instigate her. After the nanny left, Duan Maozheng was full, so Su Nuannuan held him upright. After the little guy burped twice, she smiled and said, "It happens that the weather is good today. Let's take Zheng'er to the north courtyard to show the old lady. He has grown a little taller now than the last time she saw him."
"This is a good idea. I very much agree with it." Duan Tingxuan laughed and took his chubby son from Su Nuannuan. He kissed his chubby and white face first, then he and Su Nuannuan went down the stairs, and the family of three went to the north courtyard.
"You know what? Although your temple is not big, it is quiet and peaceful. No wonder you don't want to leave after entering."
The Buddhist temple in Anping Marquis' Mansion was built on the west side of the mansion garden. Its location was so remote that it was comparable to the Meiyue Tower of that time.
In a small courtyard, apart from the three main rooms, there are three side rooms on each side, connected by a corridor. The main room in the middle houses a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva; to the east is the bedroom, with a large kang and a few simple pieces of furniture on the floor; in the west is a Luohan bed, with a small kang table on both sides covered with simple cotton cushions, where Su Nuannuan and Aunt Jiang are sitting and talking.
Su Nuannuan was sewing a small piece of clothing while chatting casually. Aunt Jiang was dealing with her, and her thoughts gradually became scattered. Suddenly, she heard this sentence and smiled, "The world is so prosperous, what a wonderful view it is. You can take a break from your busy schedule or come to sit in this Buddhist temple for a while when you are tired. You will naturally like its tranquility, but if you live here for a long time, there will be endless suffering. Grandma, please don't think like this anymore."
Su Nuannuan stopped, raised her head and said in a deep voice: "In this case, why don't you go back?"
Aunt Jiang was stunned for a moment, then she realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly forced a smile and said, "I am used to this quiet life."
"What do you mean you are used to the quietness? I said you are still a young girl, how can you get used to this kind of quietness? Have you cultivated your mind to this extent? You have come here several times in a row, pretending to be a decent person, but now you are finally exposed, right? What is the reason? Why do you have to stay here? Is there someone in this mansion that you are afraid of and have to hide here?"
"No, no, grandma, please don't think too much about it."
Aunt Jiang panicked and stood up quickly. Su Nuannuan also slapped the table and stood up, pacing on the ground and shouting, "Don't let me think too much, just tell me the truth. Ah? Seeing that you were honest and respectful to me before, but now you are hiding something from me, I have felt that something is wrong for a long time, and sure enough, I found it out after testing it today. No... No, the only person in this mansion who can force you to practice here is... Duan Tingxuan, right? It must be him, otherwise, who else in this mansion would dare to arrange you here?"
After the outburst, Su Nuannuan calmed down and sat back on the Luohan bed. Her expression changed and she suddenly whispered, "Tell me the truth, what is this all about? Is it... because of Xu Ranyun's death that day?"
Aunt Jiang was full of bitterness, but she didn't dare to say it. Duan Tingxuan didn't want to tell Su Nuannuan about the matter, obviously not for her own sake, but to avoid making the grandmother sad. In this case, how could she dare to tell the truth? What's more, she was also afraid that the grandmother would dislike her from now on, and even refused to pay attention to Chuan Ge'er.
However, Su Nuannuan refused to give up. She tapped the table with her fingers and said thoughtfully, "I told you that I felt something was odd at Xia Yuxuan that day, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Afterwards, Xue Zhilan refused to admit the crime, and I was still confused... Could it be... There is something hidden that I don't understand? Your grandfather arranged you here..."
Aunt Jiang saw Su Nuannuan say this and knew that she couldn't hide it from her after all, so she sighed and said, "Grandma, Grandma Lan is crazy now, which is pitiful. Fortunately, she is not the kind of person who cries and screams. She is relatively quiet. I want to bring her here to take care of her. Although she has a long smoke, the girl may not be able to handle it alone. With the help of me, I can take better care of her."
