Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

Chapter 20: Auntie Poisoned

By the time Su Rutang brought Yaoyao and Rongrui back to Zhou's house, it was already past lunch time. She took everyone back to Chuitang Courtyard and ordered Zhou Wenqing and others to come over, and told them to not come in because they were not feeling well.

Chunxi gave orders to the gatekeeper of Chuitang Courtyard.

She also hurriedly arranged for someone to boil water.

Ask someone to take Rong Rui to wash and change clothes.

She and Su Rutang took Yaoyao into the bathroom, "Second Madam. The young lady is still alive, so is Brother Shen also alive?"

Su Rutang paused when he heard this.

She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart, but expectation was taking root in her heart.

"If Brother Shen were alive, I would be willing to die in a few years and never leave hell." Su Rutang didn't say anything else. She untied Yaoyao's clothes with trembling hands.

The little girl is thin and frail.

He had some old wounds on his body, but he probably didn't get hurt because he met Rong Rui.

Big tears fell into the bathtub.

Su Rutang closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the grief had disappeared.

Wash gently.

Chunxi brought a clean towel, Su Rutang put her on the couch and wiped her clean carefully.

I saw the peach blossom mark on the back of Yaoyao’s neck.

She bit her lip to stop herself from crying out loud, "Chunxi, bring Yaoyao's clothes."

He changed her clothes and carried her back to the room.

In the afternoon, he was always by her side to take care of her.

Halfway through the journey, Yaoyao woke up for a while.

The little girl was very scared and kept babbling looking for Rong Rui.

Su Rutang asked Rong Rui to stay on the couch in the inner room.

Perhaps it was because her embrace was so warm that the sick Yaoyao became more attached to her.

Until evening.

It is said that something happened to Aunt Ru.

Su Rutang reluctantly looked away, "Rong Rui, you stay here with Taohua." She thought for a long time and decided to just keep Taohua alive without using Yaoyao's name.

She was also not allowed to be included in the Zhou family tree so that she could withdraw at any time in the future.

Before leaving, Su Rutang asked Chunxi and Xia An to stay.

He took Qiu Ling and Dong Xiang to Aunt Ru's yard.

Haven’t reached the gate yet.

Then I heard Aunt Ru's miserable voice, "Ah...save me...my son..."

Su Rutang frowned.

"Did you call the doctor?"

"In reply to Second Madam, we have just invited Doctor Liu from the nearby Baiweitang." The maid in Aunt Ru's courtyard stood at the door, "Our aunt wants to see Second Master."

"Did you go back to Second Master?"

The old woman lowered her head and said, "Second Master hasn't returned yet."

"In that case, then don't bother the Second Master. He must have an important social engagement outside." Su Rutang knew that Aunt Ru had lost the child. In her previous life, she had a bad pregnancy and she framed Su Rutang for pushing her.

This time...

Su Rutang thought of oleander and a smile appeared in his eyes.

Walk into the yard.

"Second Aunt, please save our aunt."

Su Rutang took a step back without leaving a trace and said angrily:

"I'm not a doctor. How can you, as a servant, be so flustered? Your aunt is lying there, and instead of trying to comfort her, you are screaming here?"

The maid had never seen such a scene before, so she lowered her head and said nothing.

Su Rutang scolded him.

When Doctor Liu came out, she invited him to the main room for tea.

Doctor Liu thanked him and wrote a prescription.

"The concubine's pregnancy can no longer be saved. The child is not good in the first place, and the mother's body was poisoned." Doctor Liu knew the secrets of the rear house, and he would not dare to tell others.

He knew very well that Su Rutang was a woman of integrity.

"Poisoned?" Su Rutang was surprised.

"how come?"

Doctor Liu only said that oleander was indeed eaten.

Su Rutang's eyes were stern, and there was no expression on her face. "Aunt Ru's personal maid goes in. Everyone else, come here and kneel down."

The noise here alarmed Old Madam Zhou.

Even Murong Feiyue came along, and I could hear her voice before I even entered the courtyard.

"Why are you punishing the servants when the Ru Niang's life or death is unknown?"

She helped Mrs. Zhou over.

Su Rutang's eyes were cold and sharp, "How can sister-in-law know whether Aunt Ru is alive or dead?"

"Here……"

"Or did the eldest sister-in-law know in advance that Ruyi's mother was poisoned?"

Murong Feiyue was shocked. "My second brother's wife was like a firecracker. I just said a few words for the sake of my second disciple."

As she was wiping her eyes, she rubbed them so hard that they turned red.

Old Madam Zhou seemed to be unhappy with Su Rutang these days.

She took away all the good things.

A few days ago, my aunt wanted to borrow the glass kang screen to decorate her room, and yesterday she moved the red coral ornament out of the house.

Thinking of this, she rebuked unhappily:

"How do you manage the household? Chengru has to work so hard outside every day. As a clan wife, you don't relieve your husband's worries but resort to dirty tricks."

The sun sets in the west and the spring breeze is cool.

The wind blowing on people is even warmer than Madam Zhou’s words.

Su Rutang looked cold and seemed a little disdainful.

"I don't agree with what the old lady said. I was born in a noble family, and my every word and action has been taught by the palace maids since I was a child."

"I don't know how to do the dirty and despicable things in the market. I wonder if there are people in the mansion who are good at it."

Madam Zhou's eyes dimmed a little. "You have always been sensible, but Chengru has ignored you these days because he has taken in a concubine.

Even though you may be annoyed for a moment, you should relax.

Since you are marrying into the Zhou Mansion for the second time, why do you still want to maintain your status as a young lady from an aristocratic family? You should be grateful that the Zhou Mansion took you in. "

Look, the wolf's tail is revealed.

Su Rutang stood still, the light of the setting sun shining through the leaves onto her face, making her look particularly desolate.

"Is it the marriage proposal I asked for?"

This sentence shut up Madam Zhou. She hated Su Rutang so much that a second-married woman dared to be so arrogant.

Murong Feiyue's cheeks turned red with anger. She felt it was not worth it for the man she loved.

"My second brother felt sorry for you and couldn't bear to see you marry an old man. People should have a conscience. Second brother's wife, please reflect on where you went wrong."

Su Rutang said calmly:

"Does the sister-in-law have a conscience?"

If there was, how could they dare to put the illegitimate child under her name. In the future, they would blame her for taking away those bastards.

Murong Feiyue was so angry that she was stunned.

She wanted to leave but didn't dare to. She also wanted to take the opportunity to see how her son was living here.

By the way, I'd like to give Aunt Ru a few words of criticism.

While they were talking, Aunt Zhao, Aunt Liu and Song Huaiyan came over as a group.

Just to watch the fun.

Several people in the Zhou Mansion looked at each other in bewilderment. They did not expect that Su Rutang, who was always a good guy, would be so tough and his mouth was full of thorns.

Old Madam Zhou wanted to say something, but was stopped by Su Rutang's bland words.

"If the old lady wants to stand up for Aunt Ru, she should listen to what Doctor Liu has to say, and then find evidence to punish me."

In other words:

Don't nag about nothing.

Madam Zhou trembled, "You disobedient woman."

"Old Madam, please take care of yourself. The woman who usually takes care of you is the one you call disobedient and unfilial."

"You..." Madam Zhou's words were stuck in her throat, and she felt uncomfortable being unable to speak.

Su Rutang turned around, his eyes serious and sharp.
