Su Mu was very pleased with himself after hearing Su Wanwan's words.
Hehe, even though he was the one who switched her with Jiang Wan'er, look at Su Wanwan, isn't she still grateful to him and looking reluctant to part with him?
Then, he saw Su Wanwan roll her eyes, so he quickly walked behind her and caught her.
"Wanwan, Wanwan, are you alright?" Su Mu called out anxiously.
How can I not be anxious?
She fainted in the pine and cypress courtyard; who knows, tomorrow there will be rumors that he beat her up.
Therefore, in order to protect her reputation, Su Wanwan must not have anything happen to her in his courtyard!
"Someone, quickly go and fetch the imperial physician!"
Su Mu placed Su Wanwan on the daybed, and soon the royal physician arrived with his medicine box.
"Quickly, go and treat Miss Six!"
"Yes, General."
The physician placed his hand on Su Wanwan's wrist. After a long while, he said, "Sixth Miss is alright. She fainted due to excessive grief. I will prescribe some medicine to soothe the blood and remove blood stasis for her."
After confirming that Su Wanwan was alright, Su Mu sent someone to fetch medicine from the imperial physician and ordered someone to carry Su Wanwan back to her courtyard. He also instructed Zi Mu to take good care of Su Wanwan.
Pine and Cypress Courtyard, Study.
"Tiezhu, has Miss Liu been sent back yet?"
"Reporting to the General, the Sixth Miss has been safely returned."
"Hmm. When Su Wanwan leaves the manor tomorrow, in consideration of her fatherly affection for me, please do not let Madam Hu and the others be too harsh on her. At least let her leave in decent clothes so that she doesn't look too bad."
Tomorrow, I won't see her off. Have Madam Hu go to the accounting office and get ten taels of silver for Su Wanwan so she can hire a carriage to return to her hometown.
"Yes, General!"
Tie Zhu relayed Su Mu's words to Hu Shi in their entirety.
Hu Shi instantly understood her husband's meaning: he meant that Su Wanwan was only allowed to leave with a set of clothes, and that she was not allowed to take anything else with her!
Hu did not feel that Su Mu was cold-hearted; on the contrary, she felt that her husband had done the right thing.
She agreed to switch Jiang Wan'er and Su Wanwan because her husband told her that as long as she raised Su Wanwan, this country girl, she could give birth to a son.
Unexpectedly, Su Wanwan did not bring her a son, but instead brought sons to her other three concubines. How could she not be angry?
In Hu's mind, she blamed everything on Su Wanwan and never blamed Su Mu for switching her own daughter.
"Hehe, Tiezhu, go back and report to the general. I will handle this matter perfectly, so that no outsider can find a single fault!" Madam Hu said with a smile, enduring the pain on her face.

Su Wanwan's courtyard.
"Why hasn't Miss woken up yet? Could something serious have happened?" Zi Mu Hou asked anxiously by Su Wanwan's bedside.
"Don't worry, didn't the physician already examine Miss? She's perfectly fine and might wake up soon. Let's go downstairs and brew the medicine. Once she's awake, we'll bring it to her."
Okay, fine.
After the two left, Su Wanwan, who was lying on the bed, immediately opened her eyes and sat up.
That's right, fainting just now was also an act.
The purpose was to create the illusion that she was provoked, thus satisfying Su Mu's chauvinistic tendencies. Only then would he be more likely to soften his stance towards her and prevent her from being searched.
hiss--
A sharp pain shot through her thigh. She rolled up her trouser leg and discovered that the spot where she had pinched herself had turned bruised.
She rubbed the bruised area with her hand, which made her wince in pain.
I was careless; I shouldn't have been so hard on myself.
