Chapter 24
Tao Zi responded, presented the fine powder to Su Hua, and stood behind her to help her comb her hair.
Su Hua took some fine powder and carefully applied it to her lower eyelids, creating the look of using powder to cover the dark spots but not covering them at all.After that, she took some rouge with her little finger, melted it, and rubbed it on her eyelids and ends of her eyes. It looked more like she hadn't slept well all night.
After everything was tidied up, Su Hua held Tao Zi's hand and asked Aunt Cui to order a few stout servants in the yard to go to the small warehouse in the backyard where the dowry was kept.
On the couch at the door of the small warehouse, Grandma Lu was snoring and sleeping soundly. The little maid on the side saw so many people coming over and hurriedly woke up Grandma Lu.
Grandma Lu snorted twice, then woke up and scolded with an unhappy look on her face, "You little hooves, how many times have I told you not to disturb my sleep!"
The little maid responded submissively and glanced at Su Hua and her group.
Only then did Aunt Lu see Su Hua and the others. She hurriedly put down her arrogant attitude, smiled apologetically and stepped forward to salute, "Ah, it turns out the eldest lady is here! I didn't know this just now, so I hope the eldest lady won't blame you."
"Nothing, I just came to pick up a few things."
Suhua covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed, then she smiled softly and said, "Recently, I often don't sleep well at night and can't wake up during the day. Seeing how soundly my grandma slept so soundly just now, I feel a little bit... I’m envious.”
Seeing that Su Huan's expression was so bad, Grandma Lu followed up and said, "But the lady didn't sleep well last night? Did she have a nightmare?"
Su Hua sighed, opened her mouth slightly and then closed it again. Grandma Lu couldn't help but want to say something else.
At this time, Aunt Cui said to the side with a cold face, "Why are you asking so many questions? It seems as if you haven't done your best to serve us in these rooms... Why don't you open the warehouse quickly, but you don't see our lady under the sun?" Have you been standing there for a long time?"
When Grandma Lu heard this, she secretly rolled her eyes at Grandma Cui, but continued to apologize with a smile on her face, "It's the old slave who is stupid and can't speak. I hope Grandma Cui won't be angry."
As she said that, she paused slightly and said with a troubled face, "It's just that I don't want to open this warehouse. The lock above requires two keys. One is in my hand, and the other... is still there. Madam’s place.”
After speaking, Grandma Lu glanced at Su Hua, but Su Hua lowered her eyes and couldn't see her emotions clearly.
After a long while, Su Huaqing coughed twice, nodded and said, "So that's it. I was wondering earlier why you and the eldest lady each have one key."
Grandma Lu nodded with a smile, "It's because the eldest lady has been thoughtful and is afraid that holding the key alone will cause gossip."
"It's indeed troublesome for Madam Lu." Just when Mammy Lu thought that Su Wei would give up in spite of the difficulties, Su Wei suddenly raised her head and smiled at her, "Then it won't be difficult for Grandma Lu. If it happens in a while When grandma asks, just say it was me."
Aunt Lu was slightly stunned. Before she could figure out what was going on, Su Hua had already turned her head and ordered to Aunt Cui, "Break the lock!"
Aunt Cui responded, and with the maid behind her, she stepped forward and smashed the lock vigorously.
Grandma Lu's eyes widened and she stared for a while before she realized what she was doing. She shouted loudly, "What are you doing?! Stop it..."
Before she finished speaking, Su Hua had already picked up the handkerchief and covered her mouth, with a look of disgust on her face and said, "Taozi, and you guys, drag her down here, she's going to make a lot of noise."
Taozi hurriedly brought the other maids forward, tugging and covering her mouth, but the little maid who was guarding with Grandma Lu was already scared to death.
Just when the lock was about to be smashed, Second Madam Su supported Old Madam Su and hurriedly appeared at the door of the backyard.
Seeing such a big movement inside, Mrs. Su Er asked repeatedly, "Hua'er, what's wrong? But what happened?"
Su Hua glanced at Aunt Cui. Aunt Cui whispered knowingly and ordered the servants to smash faster. Su Hua nodded with satisfaction and walked towards the door of the backyard with one step and three steps.
"Hua'er has met my second aunt, my grandmother."
Although the family tree was changed yesterday, everyone in the family still acquiesced in Suhua not changing her words, so now Suhua is still called by the old name.
When Su Hua stood up after saluting, the sunlight hit her face, making the dark blue eyes and red eye sockets more obvious.
Mrs. Su and Mrs. Su were both startled when they saw it. They quickly took Su Hua's hand and asked in concern, "Why does your face look so bad... Is it because you didn't sleep last night and had a nightmare?"
Su Hua nodded. She raised her head and glanced at Old Madam Su and Second Madam Su. She looked at each other for a long time before calling them again with a crying voice.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Su said hurriedly, "It's okay, it's okay. Speak slowly, grandma is listening."
Only then did Su Hua tell her about her dream last night that her mother wanted her to burn something.
After saying that, Su Hua looked back at the movement in the warehouse, lowered her head and whispered, "Actually, I have had this dream for many days. I thought I would just get the key back last night, but..."
"That's why..." Madam Su patted her hand clearly and said warmly, "Silly boy, those dowries are yours, don't think so much, you can do whatever you want. .”
Mrs. Su Er also nodded and said, "That's right, Hua'er, you are so kind-hearted that you can't sleep well all night even worrying about getting your things back."
With that said, Second Madam Su pulled Su Hua over and whispered to the other side, "To tell you the truth, Qiang'er told me last night that if the eldest lady didn't come back with the key, she would ask me to find an excuse to break the lock. I’ll get a new one and give you the key.”
Listening to what Mrs. Su and Mrs. Su just said, Su Hua couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. Before she could say anything, she heard the sound of a big lock falling to the ground from the other side of the warehouse.
The door of the warehouse was opened, and the people standing at the door of the courtyard subconsciously looked back.
The moment the door was opened, all the wind outside was squeezed into the empty warehouse. The strong wind picked up the remaining pieces of cloth that had been bitten by rats, spinning around and falling to the ground.
For a moment, the backyard was extremely quiet.
Su Hua looked at the empty warehouse in front of her and was so shocked that she couldn't say a word.
She once thought that Mrs. Su would secretly take a few things to sell or use for herself. After all, there were so many dowries at that time. If she didn't take the most conspicuous items, who would recognize them except the old servants who brought them here? Woolen cloth?
Moreover, Mrs. Su found some excuses to dismiss those old servants or sell them separately.
But what she never expected was that Mrs. Su would have people directly remove all the dowry? !
Oh my god... so much dowry has been moved away, and the original owner doesn't even know about it?
The expression on Aunt Cui's face changed from shock to gloom. She looked back at Su Hua, then at the old lady beside her, and finally lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Su Hua could feel that everyone was looking at her.
She glanced sideways at Old Madam Su, then turned to glance at Second Madam Su. Suddenly she fell to the ground, picked up the handkerchief to cover her face, and began to cry sadly, "Grandma...grandma, second aunt, You must make the decision for Hua'er!"
