Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

Chapter 18 Su Rutang's Nightmare

"mother."

"Mom, Yaoyao is in pain, can you come and comfort her?"

"Mom, save me and my sister."

Su Rutang fell into a nightmare.

Her Jing Shen and Jing Yao were wearing red embroidered jackets and were trapped in a room.

The two little guys were leaning on the window and calling her.

"Brother Shen, Yaoyao." She ran over like crazy. It had been a long time since she saw that familiar face.

Jing Shen cried out "Mom, save my sister," and then disappeared.

The flames in the sky covered everything.

The window frame made a crackling sound, and Su Rutang rushed forward desperately, but his feet seemed to be rooted and did not move at all.

"Ah..." She cried in pain.

Tears of despair and regret fell drop by drop in my heart.

Chunxi, who was sleeping on the couch in the outer room, knocked on the door anxiously, "Second Madam, Second Madam."

Su Rutang was awakened by Chunxi's anxious voice.

She opened her eyes and stared at the bed curtains above her head, tears streaming down silently. The pillow under her head was soaked. Su Rutang did not respond to Chunxi's voice.

Chunxi listened attentively for a while, then sat down on the couch in deep thought and worry.

Early the next morning.

Chunxi came in to help Su Rutang wash her face and put her fair hands into the porcelain basin to wash them carefully. "Chunxi, let Ma Liu prepare the car later. Come with me to the rouge shop."

Chunxi agreed and handed the towel to Su Rutang to wipe it dry carefully.

Every morning, Su Rutang has to go to Rongxi Hall to pay her respects to Old Madam Zhou. She has walked this path for a long time and has seen everything in the Zhou mansion.

Hiding his overwhelming hatred, he wanted to take revenge slowly.

Last night’s dream made her a little impatient, so she might as well collect some more interest.

Passing by secluded corners on the road.

She saw a short man squatting in the corner, his small shoulders shaking rhythmically.

"Is it Wen Yan?"

Zhou Wenyan deliberately stayed on the road where Su Rutang often passed by, and heard her sobbing softly.

Chunxi walked over quickly.

He helped Zhou Wenyan up, "Why is Brother Yan here?"

Su Rutang looked up at the oleander along the corner of the wall and said, "Wen Yan, don't stay here and play. The flowers and leaves of oleander are poisonous. If you accidentally eat oleander, you will be sick for a while."

Zhou Wenyan took a step back in fear.

There was a hint of calculation and surprise in his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash.

"Mom. I miss you." The right side of the little guy's face was red and swollen, and he looked at her with grievance and pity.

Su Rutang looked away.

Her Jing Shen and Jing Yao were even more pitiful, buried in the dilapidated backyard of the Huguo Temple.

Thinking of this, her eyes turned a little colder.

"Xia An, go get a hundred bucks and send Yan Ge'er to play with the servant."

Zhou Wenyan resisted, "No, I want to be with my mother."

"Didn't Madam teach you the rules? I'm going to the old lady's room to pay my respects, and you, a bastard, want to follow me? This is against the rules. Yesterday, the eldest lady said that there should be a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children in our house."

Su Rutang sighed.

Zhou Wenyan caught the meaning behind the words, "Aunt?"

"You haven't met your aunt. She is a very kind person and knows the rules and etiquette. She loves Qing brothers like the apple of her eye. You will know when you meet her later."

Chunxi smiled and took over the conversation, "I'm afraid it's not easy. Grandma has always attached great importance to the status of the legitimate son."

She smiled and pushed Zhou Wenyan to Xia An, "Go and send Brother Yan to play. I'll accompany Second Grandma to the old lady's yard."

Zhou Wenyan pursed his lips and left with Xia An.

On the way to Rongxi Hall.

Chunxi moved her lips but didn't say anything in the end. She wanted to ask Su Rutang what she dreamed about last night, but she was afraid of making her unhappy.

No amount of makeup can cover up the dark circles under the eyes.

"Su Rutang."

Song Huaiyan came out from the corner, followed by the little maid Wu'er.

"How dare you. Aunt Song should be addressed as Second Madam." Chunxi said sternly.

Song Huaiyan didn't care and stepped forward to pinch Chunxi's face, "Why are you so fierce, little girl? Be careful or I will let Chengru send you to someone else as a concubine."

Chunxi took a step back angrily, avoiding Song Huaiyan's hand.

"Do you think everyone likes being an aunt as much as you do?

"Chun-hee, stand back."

Su Rutang looked at Song Huaiyan indifferently, "Aunt Song is waiting for me here, so she must be interested in my maid, right?"

Song Huaiyan clenched the handkerchief in her hand to calm down.

What she disliked most was the way Su Rutang looked indifferent to everything, like a person with no desires or demands.

What's the point of a woman like this keeping her status as the legitimate wife?

After a moment's silence, she said:

"I heard that you are in charge of all the shops in the mansion. How about you let me take care of them?"

"No way."

"Hey, I'm letting you know because I think highly of you. Don't think that just because your husband treats you with respect, you can cover up the world with one hand?"

Su Rutang nodded:

"I know my husband treats you well. You can talk to him and even let him take charge of the household affairs."

This indifferent look made Song Huaiyan feel like a punch hit into cotton wool. The excitement in her heart about wanting to make money was dampened, making her feel quite discouraged.

"Don't you want to make some money?"

Su Rutang raised her eyes and asked, "Madam Song doesn't have a dowry shop?"

Song Huaiyan didn't want to show her weakness in front of Su Rutang. "Of course I do. I just want to use the shop in the mansion to do some special business."

"The old lady has the final say on all matters concerning the shop. Not only me, but even my husband cannot make the decision."

She said and looked at the sky.

"I'm going to Rongxi Hall, don't waste time. I'll chat with Concubine Song when I have time."

Song Huaiyan was depressed to death.

She clearly wanted to make money, but this woman just lived with a lifeless dead tree in her mansion.

Extremely boring.

The one in charge of the household is reluctant to even give up his shop. These old-fashioned people only know how to live by the rules.

She...is here to break the rules.

*

The carriage was driving on the road, and Su Rutang especially wanted to go out for a walk today.

That thought grew like crazy.

She first inspected the shop that was part of her dowry, but Su Rutang didn't want to go back home.

Chunxi could see that she didn't want to go back.

"Second Madam, we have a rice shop on Qingyang Street. The old shopkeeper is an old man from the Su Mansion. He said a few days ago that he hadn't seen Second Madam for a long time."

"Go for a walk."

Chunxi asked Ma Liu to drive to Qingyang Street.

When they came to a small alley with many pedestrians in front, Su Rutang asked Ma Liu to take a detour, and he got off the carriage and walked with Chunxi and Xia An.

Walked a few hundred meters.

A little beggar with a pigtail haircut rushed out and bumped into Su Rutang.

"sorry."

Chunxi hurried forward to support Su Rutang, "Second Madam, are you okay?"

"It doesn't matter."

Su Rutang grabbed the collar of the little beggar who was about to run away and said, "Hand over your purse."

"No no……"

Chunxi then realized that Su Rutang's purse was missing. She grabbed the little beggar's arm and said sternly, "It turns out to be a thief."

She squatted down and took the purse from the little beggar.

"what is this?"

What Su Rutang hated most was stealing, and he would rather he ask for money from him than steal.

"Chunxi, send the official off."

The little beggar knelt down hurriedly.

"Madam, please spare my life."

He kowtowed while crying, "If I am arrested, Taohua will die. Madam, please save Taohua, she is dying of illness."

Chunxi was so angry that he pulled him away and said, "Don't try to escape punishment just because you shed a few drops of cat urine."

"Madam, I think you and Taohua look a bit like each other. Please save Taohua." The little beggar knelt on the ground, his eyes filled with tears, and looked up at Su Rutang pleadingly.

I don't know why it sounds a bit like peach blossom.

Su Rutang's heart melted.

"Since she is sick, take me to see her." Su Rutang softened his voice.

"Second Madam, no."
