Chapter 101 The General's Cannon Fodder Wife Turns Dark 6
If Xiao Cui hadn't come out, I would have almost forgotten about her. In the previous life, it was she who drugged the original owner. Even though she was just under someone else's orders, it was still her who did it after all! How could I let her leave the house and enjoy herself?
Su Li watched her kowtow for a long time before he sighed and said, "Well, since you've served me and are close to my mother-in-law, you can stay!"
Xiao Cui was still kowtowing when she suddenly heard Su Li ask her to stay. She was a little bit unbelievable for a moment. She knew how perfunctory she was to the Madam usually. She thought that the Madam would definitely settle accounts with her now that she was in power, but she turned out to be so easy to talk to?
But he was still very happy to be able to continue staying in the mansion, and immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude.
Seeing that Xiao Cui, who was so arrogant and disrespectful to the lady, was allowed to stay, a group of servants knelt down and begged, hoping that Su Li would give them a chance.
Su Li didn't even give them a spare glance. Now he knew he was wrong? It was too late. He directly had Ren Yazi and his group of servants, including the housekeeper, taken away.
When the butler was dragged away, his face was still full of disbelief. He didn't expect that Su Li would actually dare to sell him out.
The surprise on the butler's face was beyond words. Before he could open his mouth to threaten Su Li, he was suppressed by Uncle Zhou with force.
Su Li originally wanted to keep the butler to disgust the old witch, but then he thought, this is just their own business, and it is not worthwhile to keep him and support him, so he decided to sell them all!
Almost all the servants in the mansion were sold out, so Uncle Zhou went to the pawnshop to buy some more.
Su Li was very satisfied with the new people he bought. Maybe Uncle Zhou had taught them a lesson before they came, and they were all honest and well-behaved.
She didn't need them to be loyal, but they had to be obedient and know who their master was. It only mattered who paid them their monthly salary!
When Xu woke up, she saw that the person serving her had become Xiao Cui, and her personal bodyguard Momo had disappeared.
Su Li went to see Xu as usual and found that she was awake. Xiao Cui was serving tea and water beside her. She was much more diligent than before!
Su Li asked with a smile: "How is mother-in-law today?"
When Xu saw Su Li coming, her eyes rolled around.
Su Li frowned and asked softly, "Is mother-in-law looking for something?"
"Um...ah..." Xu was speechless. Her eyes kept looking at the door and then at Xiao Cui.
Su Li suddenly realized: "Mother-in-law wants to ask where the maids and servants around you have gone?"
Seeing that Su Li understood what she meant, Xu nodded.
Su Li sighed slowly and said, "Our family is not what it used to be. My husband is gone, and we are the only two masters in the house. Mother-in-law, you need medicine and medical treatment, so how can we afford to support so many maids and servants? In order to save money, I sold them all."
After Su Li finished speaking, he looked at Xu with his big innocent eyes, his eyes full of thoughts: Am I good? Come on, praise me!
When Xu heard that her maidservant Momo had been sold, her chest heaved with rage. She stared at Su Li intently, "This vicious woman! How dare she sell her own capable maidservant?"
Su Li was very satisfied when he saw the old woman's face change from pale to liver color.
"When mother-in-law heard the good news, her face turned a lot redder. It seems that mother-in-law also thinks that I did the right thing, right?" Su Li covered his mouth and smiled embarrassedly, then continued: "I also sold the housekeeper! Mother-in-law doesn't need it now. She shouldn't feel bad, right?"
Xu's eyes widened in horror. How did she know?
These words contained a lot of information. Xiao Cui lowered her head and dared not utter a word, for fear of being discovered by Su Li.
Xiao Cui wondered if she was wrong to ask to stay. The Marquis was dead, and the Madam had dared to be unfilial to the old lady. Wouldn't she settle the score with a servant like her later?
"Mother-in-law, have you taken your medicine today? Xiao Cui, go and bring the old lady's medicine."
"Yes, ma'am."
Xiao Cui hurried back soon, bringing a large bowl of medicine.
Su Li took the bowl of medicine and tested the temperature with his hand. Hmm, it was just right!
"Mother-in-law, the temperature is just right, take the medicine!"
When Xiao Cui heard that the temperature was just right, she raised her eyes and took a quick look, then looked down at her red hands, which were burned when she was in a hurry to get the medicine.
Xu was now shocked and angry, and turned her head away and ignored Su Li.
Su Li was not annoyed, and coaxed her gently: "Mother-in-law, you are already old and about to die, why are you still acting like a child and throwing tantrums and refusing to take your medicine? How can your body get better if you lie paralyzed in bed and don't take your medicine? Be good, drink the medicine."
Xu thought again, wouldn't it be just what this bitch wanted if she didn't take the medicine? She wanted to get better soon, and as long as she got better, she would definitely make this vicious woman pay!
Xu turned her head, opened her mouth slightly, and signaled Su Li to feed her the medicine.
Su Li didn't let her wait any longer. What if the medicine got cold?
“Hmm…”
As soon as the scalding hot medicine entered her mouth, Xu's eyes widened and her face became hideous. She wanted to spit it out, but she was lying down, and before she could spit it out, the medicine flowed down her throat.
When Su Li fed her the second mouthful, she closed her mouth tightly, turned her head to the side and refused to drink any more.
Su Li frowned and said unhappily: "Mother-in-law, how can you not take the medicine? This medicine is so expensive. If you don't take it, won't it be a waste?"
Xu looked at Su Li angrily, cursing him in her heart, but she couldn't say anything.
Seeing that the medicine was almost cold, Su Li pried open Xu's jaw and poured the medicine into her.
Xu opened her mouth wide and moaned because of the burn. Because she drank too quickly, she choked and her tears and snot came out. The medicine flowed everywhere from the corners of her mouth.
Su Li couldn't bear to watch such a dirty look, so he wiped the hand that had just pinched Xu's mother's chin with his handkerchief, threw away the handkerchief and turned away.
Xu felt like her throat was about to be burned, and the pain spread all the way to her heart, causing a burning sensation.
She is really sad now, probably as sad as she was when she first learned of her son's death!
Xu opened her mouth wide and cried silently, her eyes were red. Her aggrieved and miserable appearance was so sad that anyone who saw it would cry.
Xiao Cui only dared to step forward after seeing Su Li walk away. Seeing the old lady's miserable appearance, she felt sad.
It’s not that she sympathizes with Xu, but seeing that the old lady who she thought was omnipotent is now so miserable, her fate can be imagined. Why did she beg to stay in such a hurry at that time?
Regardless of what the master and servant thought, Su Li lived a pretty good life. Now she was the only one at home, a widow and a paralyzed old man. No one from outside would come to her house, so Su Li simply closed the door and lived her life.
Uncle Zhou takes care of all the affairs in the mansion, so Su Li doesn't have to worry about anything.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Su Li has been here for more than a month.
Su Li lived in this mansion, eating, drinking, playing and doing nothing every day, and his life was quite decadent. In order not to waste this good time, Su Li decided to go out for a walk and see the beautiful land that his father had protected for his entire life.
