I just want to live a good life

When Xia Lian heard that Xia Qingyao had hanged herself, he rushed out of the study like a whirlwind.

Su Nuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that this Miss Xia was really a worry. Then she shook her head and sighed as she followed him out of the study.

At this moment, Xia Qingyao's courtyard was already surrounded by people in three layers inside and outside.

When Su Nuan arrived, the passage that the crowd had made for Xia Lian was closing.

She frowned and looked around. Those gathered in the outermost layer were all maids and servants from the general's mansion. With so many people, it was inevitable that some news would leak out. When the reason why Xia Qingyao hanged herself spread, it would be a big deal.

"What are you all doing here?" Su Nuan shouted, "Don't you have anything to do?"

When everyone looked back and saw Su Nuan's face, they immediately scattered like birds and beasts, each of them looking terrified, as if they had seen a ghost.

Is Xia Qingyan so powerful in this general's mansion? Su Nuan was a little surprised.

The crowd dispersed and she entered the yard. There was a second layer of onlookers here, who were none other than the personal maids of several masters of the Xia family.

Using the same method, Su Nuan drove several people away. To her surprise, Xia Lian's second wife, Xu, was also among them. It seemed that someone was treating her like a servant.

When Xu saw Su Nuan, she quickly saluted. Su Nuan saw her bulging belly and reached out to help her up. "Second Madam, there's no need to be so polite. You're pregnant and there are so many people here. You have to be careful."

After saying that, Su Nuan came to the door of Xia Qingyao's boudoir, where her two sisters-in-law were lying at the door.

The two had already heard Su Nuan shouting for everyone to leave. When they saw Su Nuan approaching, Ning came forward and said, "We two will be guarding outside the door. If you need anyone, just call us. We are always more reliable than outsiders."

Su Nuan said seriously, "Nothing will happen. You two sisters-in-law should go back and take care of the children."

After hearing what Su Nuan said, the two had no choice but to leave in disappointment.

Su Nuan dismissed everyone and finally pushed open Xia Qingyao's door.

I only heard Madam Xia crying in the room, "Master, please think of a solution quickly. Yao'er hasn't woken up for such a long time. Will something happen to her?"

"What can I do? I'm not a doctor." Xia Lian said impatiently, "Zer has already gone to ask for a doctor. Let's wait a little longer."

Su Nuan saw Xia Lian and his wife standing by Xia Qingyao's bed.

She came to the two of them and glanced at the bed. Coincidentally, when she glanced at her, Xia Qingyao's eyelids twitched, which exposed the fact that she was pretending to faint.

Su Nuan smiled slightly, with some ill intention in her smile.

"Dad, Mom, how is my sister?"

Madam Xia cried and said, "Although the man was rescued, he still hasn't woken up. It's so frustrating!"

"Oh, my sister is so pitiful. Not only was she cheated, but now she almost lost her life. It's not worth it for that kind of man." Su Nuan said seriously.

"I think after my sister dies this time, she will be able to see the true face of that man and will no longer be so infatuated with him. Then she may understand the painstaking efforts of my father to let her marry Lao Qi."

Xia Lian agreed with Su Nuan's words, but Mrs. Xia was unsure of what she meant.

Su Nuan continued, "I don't know if that man is reciting poems or drinking at the moment. If he knew that my sister did such a stupid thing, he would be very happy."

Madam Xia asked, "Why should he be happy?"

Su Nuan said: "Any philandering man would be happy for a few days if such a romantic debt is erased."

Upon hearing this, Madam Xia started to cry again, cursing as she cried, "You bastard, when I find out who you are I will chop you up with my own hands."

"My poor daughter! How could you be so unfortunate to meet such an unfaithful man!"

As Mrs. Xia cried, Xia Qingyao's eyelids trembled more and more violently, but she still showed no sign of waking up.

Su Nuan thought, I just need a bunch of firewood to make the fire burn brighter.

So, she spoke again, "Actually, it's not difficult to find out who that man is."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Lian and his wife asked at the same time, "Who is it?"

Su Nuan replied: "Just ask my sister's maid Lily."

Upon hearing this, Madam Xia sighed, "That girl has been beaten with twenty boards, and she hasn't even said who that man is."

How cruel, Su Nuan thought, twenty strokes of the board would have left her skin and flesh torn. No wonder Lily hasn't been seen for a long time.

"She didn't say it because someone didn't let her speak. Now that her sister is like this, there's no need for her to hide it anymore. Why don't I go and ask her in person? If she still doesn't speak, I'll use some tricks to make her speak."

Xia Lian said, "Go ask her and tell her this is her last chance. If she still doesn't tell me, beat her to death with a stick."

Su Nuan's heart sank when she heard that his tone didn't sound like a simple threat.

As expected, Xia Lian continued, "I'm not trying to scare her. There has never been a servant beaten or killed in my general's mansion. I'm going to use her as a precedent today."

Although Su Nuan would never let someone beat Lily to death, she was still very resistant when she heard Xia Lian say that. The person who had done something wrong was lying on the bed pretending to be unconscious, but he was taking his anger out on an irrelevant person, and it was all because of her suggestion.

She frowned and glanced at Xia Qingyao again. Seeing that she still had no intention of getting up, she secretly swore in her heart that if she did not speak up to stop her before she walked out of the room, she would never let her marry Mu Yunshu as she wished.

"Dad, Mom, I'm going to go find Lily now."

As she spoke, Su Nuan slowly walked towards the door. The dozen steps she walked felt like a long march of thousands of miles.

Just as she put her hand on the door handle, a voice came from behind her.

"Master, why don't you just let Lily go!"

The person who pleaded for Lily was actually Mrs. Xia.

Su Nuan turned her head and saw Xia Lian with a look of deep sorrow. She said, "Madam, you are so confused. Baihe is also responsible for Yao'er's behavior. If she could have stopped Yao'er from doing such a shameful thing, Yao'er would not have done such a shameful thing. No matter what, we cannot forgive that girl today."

"But......"

"It's nothing to worry about. If Lily had told us about Yao'er's abnormality earlier, we wouldn't have ended up in this situation today."

"Yan'er, go and find out who that man is. If Lily refuses to tell you, have her dragged out and beaten to death."

Su Nuan's worldview was shattered by a few words from this loyal and brave general.

This was the first time she heard that the master made a mistake because the servant did not stop him.

The next moment, she pushed the door open and strode out.
