Chapter 5
If Mrs. Su, who was sitting in a high position, was still a little angry at Su Hua's past behavior, when she saw the pale face of the granddaughter she raised with her own hands and her eyes red, her heart was already filled with distress. .

After all, the eldest granddaughter was raised under her knees with the third granddaughter Su Qiang since she was a child, and it was only a few years ago that she gradually alienated her as an old woman.

"Good child, what's going on? Don't cry, don't cry." Madam Su held Su Hua in her hand and comforted her, then turned around and told Tao Zi, "What are you doing standing still?! Why don't you go help your lady get another one?" Here comes a clean set of clothes!"

Tao Zi hurriedly responded, then turned around and ran towards Su Hua's small courtyard.

Mrs. Su turned to look at Su Qiang again and said, "Qiang'er, come and lend a hand to grandma and help your sister to lie down in the inner room."

Su Qiang also recovered from the initial shock, responded hurriedly, stepped forward to help Su Hua, who had already cried so hard that she couldn't help herself, and went to the inner room.

Seeing that Su Hua's knee was still bleeding, Su Qiang hurriedly called the maid from Songhe Hall to get some wound medicine to stop Su Hua's bleeding.

Mrs. Su looked at Su Hua gritting her teeth and enduring the pain, and her heart ached again.

Mrs. Su took Su Hua's hand and said in detail, "I heard that you accidentally fell into the water and were rescued and have returned home. I thought that you would be most reluctant to come to my old lady's place on weekdays. The old lady just asked Qiang'er to go to your yard and take a look at you."

Hearing these words, Su Wei's crying stopped slightly, and she subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Su Qiang who was lowering her head to apply medicine to her.

But Su Qiang still lowered her eyes and quietly applied the medicine to her without any reaction.

Mrs. Su didn't notice the change in the atmosphere between the two sisters. She frowned and asked again, "But how come you have to ask your grandmother to save you?"

"And you, a girl, how do you look and behave carrying these thorns on your back?"

"It's not what grandma said about you. Look at what you have done over the years. Which of the things you do is consistent with what a lady should look like?"

……

Mrs. Su was talking nonchalantly, her expression was distressed and helpless, which made Su Hua feel a little aggrieved.

In the memory of the original owner, Mrs. Su was a strict and rigid old lady with a lot of rules. The most annoying thing for her was that Mrs. Su called her to her yard for training. Every time she had to have a big quarrel with the old lady. One left.

But now that Su Hua saw Mrs. Su's expression with her own eyes, for the first time, she felt that there was nothing wrong with calling the original owner "little white-eyed wolf" outside.

He was obviously an elder who truly loved and cared for her, but why did he look like a mallet in her memory?
As for Mrs. Su, who pushed her step by step into the abyss, the original owner would also make her lose face by quarreling with her outside, and she felt very guilty and blamed herself.

Poor people must be hateful... This is really not wrong at all.

Mrs. Su talked for a long time, and suddenly realized that she hadn't heard a reply until now, so she stopped talking a little out of habit.

She raised her head to look at Su Hua on the couch, only to see Su Hua looking at her with tears in her eyes, which made her, an old woman's heart clench in pain.

Su Hua cried and threw herself into Mrs. Su's arms. Like pouring beans through a bamboo tube, she told how Li Ruyue forced her to jump into the water, and how she made the maid step on her head to prevent her from floating for air.

Of course, she also omitted the fact that she personally threw Li Ruyue's master and servant into the water after she woke up.

Su Hua lay in Mrs. Su's arms and became more and more aggrieved. She cried until she was out of breath. Mrs. Su was so angry that her hands began to tremble.

Until Su Hua was sobbing and saying, "Hua'er understands that if the princess is not allowed to vent her anger today, I am afraid that my father will have a difficult time in the Ministry of Rites in the future."

"But Hua'er is really scared. The princess already treated me like this at that time. If I come to the door by myself now, will the princess be beaten to death..."

"Bang!"

There was another crisp sound of a tea cup breaking on the ground, which frightened Su Hua and stopped the sound.

"Mother Chen, go and call me the boss now!" Madam Su said with a sneer, "I didn't know that I actually raised such a good son who needs to sell his daughter to protect his official position!"

A nun behind Mrs. Su responded and then led the people in the courtyard towards the main courtyard.

Su Hua was still sobbing in Mrs. Su's arms. At this time, she felt a pair of probing eyes falling on her.

She turned her head slightly to look over, but saw Su Qiang comforting the old lady with a wide voice, while looking at her suspiciously.

Probably because she didn't expect Su Hua to look at her suddenly at this moment, Su Qiang looked away after being stunned for a moment.

Su Wei retracted her gaze and recalled the original owner's memories again, but found that the third sister was very quiet and vague in the original owner's memory.

Roughly speaking, there was only one person who loved to follow her stupidly when he was a child. When he grew up, he looked like a replica of his grandmother and had a dull look that was completely alien to her.

But looking at the current situation... I'm afraid that the third sister is far smarter and more sensitive than the original master thought.

Su Wei secretly calculated in her heart.

Judging from the performance just now, although this Su Qiang was helping her in the dark, on the surface she didn't want to have too much to do with her.

If she can really make this third sister someone by her side, and win back the old lady's heart, then I'm afraid her future life in the Su Mansion won't be too sad.

At least, until she completes the task and removes the poison from her body, she can ensure that she will not be exposed to other dangers from the house.

At this time, there was another sound of footsteps at the door, followed by Mrs. Su's voice.

"Hua'er, Hua'er, why are you here at the old lady's place? It's easy to find me!"

Mrs. Su gave a hasty salute to the old lady, then rushed over to hug Su Hua and said caringly, "Originally, I just wanted to finish cooking the ginger soup before going to see you, but when I went to your yard, I threw myself empty..."

Su Hua hurriedly sobbed, and interrupted with a remorseful tone, "Don't worry, mother, Tao Zi has prepared ginger soup for me to drink. It's her daughter who is unfilial. She should send someone to inform her mother, but she didn't expect it. You have to work your mother too hard.”

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Su's complexion became even worse.

The news that Su Hua fell into the water should have been the last to reach Songhe Hall, but even the people in Songhe Hall knew about this news a quarter of an hour ago. As the head matron of the Su family, she might not know.

And in this quarter of an hour, not only did the man's wife fail to prepare the ginger soup, she even didn't even know that Hua'er was going to the princess's house to plead guilty... Could it be that she still planned to let Hua'er go to the princess's house alone? !
When I saw my eldest granddaughter getting close to her, I always thought that the elder man's wife was a good person. Not to mention that the elder man and his wife asked the eldest granddaughter to plead guilty and pushed the child into the fire pit without asking the reason. …

After living for most of her life, she, an old woman, has always felt that small things can tell the true story. I am afraid that her eldest granddaughter may not be as good as she imagined under the hands of the elder man's wife!
Mrs. Su raised her hand and stroked Su Hua's hair, but her face became increasingly gloomy.
Seeing the old lady's protective expression, Mrs. Su couldn't help but feel a little bit in her heart.

Just now, people from the old lady's yard called the master over. When he heard that Su Hua was there, Mr. Su asked her to take Su Hua to the princess's house to plead guilty. After all, it was better to apologize sooner rather than later.

Seeing how the third son of the Lin family sent Su Hua back in person just now, I thought that sending Su Hua to plead guilty now would be a disaster.

But doesn't she want this misfortune?If Su Hua was still alive, how could this girl actually get all the dowry left by her mother into her pocket?

Originally, he was thinking that Su Wei would be coaxing, so if he provoked a few words, he would probably quarrel with Mrs. Su again, and left with him.

But what now...

Mrs. Su thought about the scene at the door just now, and she felt more and more uncomfortable in her heart.

Su Hua's eyes glanced around between Mrs. Su and her stepmother. She suddenly fell on Mrs. Su's lap and said, "Grandma, please don't be angry. Mother is very busy in housekeeping, but that's all." It’s just that we ignored Hua’er this time.”

Mrs. Su looked at Su Hua still protecting Mrs. Su stupidly. After a long time, she let out a long sigh.

These years, she shouldn't let Hua'er's temperament come because she felt sorry for Hua'er who lost her mother since she was a child.At the beginning, he should have been tougher and let Hua'er continue to be by his side, so that he would not raise such a naive and stupid granddaughter.

"Now that Hua'er has spoken, I won't blame you anymore."

Just when Mrs. Su was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Mrs. Su's voice continued to sound faintly, "Daughter-in-law of the first son, you have been working hard as a housekeeper during this period. It's time for you to take a good rest. Let the second wife take over the housekeeping from tomorrow. "
