Lin Hua led Uncle Fu and a few others into the secret room. After passing through a long and narrow passage, they soon saw Han and his group.

"Hua'er!"

"Mother!"

Han leaned back on a soft couch made of wooden boxes, looking listless and waved at her listlessly.

The wet nurse sat beside her, holding the little master in her arms; the child had already fallen asleep.

Near the wall, there were some maids and old women huddled together, looking listless and dejected.

"Mother! How are you?"

"Where do you feel uncomfortable? Are you hurt?"

Now that Chen Nan is not around, Lin Hua can only be extremely alert, always remembering her identity, and seriously playing the role of the second lady of the Su family.

"Meet Madam!"

"I will arrange for someone to call a doctor right away."

“No…no problem.”

After not seeing her for a while, Han had lost a lot of weight.

She was about thirty years old. Her originally plump round face had become a clear jawline. Her clothes and hairstyle were very simple, not as exquisite as before. Her jewelry and hairpins were gone.

Han asked, "How is the Marquis?"

Uncle Fu knelt down with a thud, "The Marquis..."

"The Marquis died to prove his innocence. He died unjustly!"

Han's face changed and she burst into tears, "Master! Master, what are we going to do now that you're gone?"

Lin Hua walked over, gently patted Han's back, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, mother, we are here for you."

"Your brother is still so young, what are you going to do in the future?"

"As long as we work together, I believe the Su family will survive!"

Lin Hua looked around as she spoke, curious why she didn't see Aunt Chen. But she knew she wasn't as smart as Chen Nan, so she could only respond to each situation and take it one step at a time, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"Cough...cough cough!"

Han covered her chest, her face turned red from coughing, and then she stood up by supporting herself on the edge of the bed!

"Your brother is still young."

"Hua'er, you must help him. It's hard to manage such a big Su family."

"I?"

"Mom caught a cold and now has a back injury. I'm powerless to do many things..."

Lin Hua lowered his eyes, not knowing how to answer for a moment, and could only stand there in silence.

She thought to herself: Didn't Aunt Chen come to tell her in advance? Why is Han acting like she knows nothing? Is she acting?

After all, Uncle Fu had been the steward of the Su family for decades. He knew when to play dumb, so he just stood aside and remained invisible.

After a while, he spoke tentatively.

"Madam, the people from the capital have settled down at the manor. Shall we go out first?"

"This……"

"Yes, mother! The air outside is better, it's more conducive to recuperation."

Lin Hua knew very well that she was not good at dealing with these things, and she didn't want to face Han alone. She just wanted to go out quickly and meet Chen Nan and let her deal with it.

"That...okay then."

"Come, help me out."

Han didn't refuse anymore. She raised her arm slightly, and the maid beside her came over to support her.

Lin Hua and the maid each supported one side, and everyone walked out of the secret room.

At this time, Chen Nan had already woken up completely. When she saw them come out, she immediately stood up and saluted Han.

"Mother."

"Nan'er, get up."

Uncle Fu saw that she looked normal, and his eyelids flickered slightly. "Is the eldest lady feeling better?"

"It's okay, I'm much better."

"Nan'er fainted again?"

"Yes, they are all old problems that keep coming back."

"Things are different now than before, so we still need to be more careful."

"Okay, thank you for your concern, mother."

Chen Nan bowed and saluted her again.

The two people were polite to each other and on the surface seemed to be very easy to get along with.

Only Lin Hua felt his scalp tingling.

"Madam, Miss!" Uncle Fu asked the two to sit down first.

"I've already sent for a doctor, but it's getting late now, so it might take some time."

Neither of them responded.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little cold, Lin Hua said, "Well, it doesn't matter for a while."

Uncle Fu nodded and changed the subject: "Then the Marquis..."

Chen Nan twirled the jade ring on his thumb and turned to ask Han, "Mother, what do you think about father's funeral?"

Han's eyes were red, "The master is gone just like that..."

"This farm, apart from the servants, has nothing of value left. Everything that could be confiscated has been taken."

"The Marquis died unjustly. If we deal with it hastily, I'm afraid..."

Chen Nan curled his lips and sneered, it turned out that he wanted to give her a difficult problem.

No money, but still want a grand burial?

But if I can't do it, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit firmly on the position of the head of the family.

However, Su Weimin, who was wandering around in space, didn't have any obsessive thoughts about these empty rituals. All he had in mind was, "Get out of here!"

"That's what Mother said."

"My father worked hard all his life. We cannot rush his funeral arrangements no matter what."

"Well, Nan'er is right!"

Han stopped crying, turned around and looked at her, then asked, "What do you think we should do, Nan'er?"

Chen Nan curled her lips slightly. She deliberately took Han's hand and gently touched the table with her jade ring, making a crisp sound.

"When the accident happened, my father ordered me to shoulder the burden of the Su family, so naturally I have to take on the responsibility."

"Yeah." Han just nodded.

Since things have come to this, Chen Nan feels that there is no need to continue the conversation. It is tiring to act.

She glanced at Lin Hua, then stood up and said:

"Then Nan'er will take matters into her own hands and go deal with it first."

"Have a good rest, mother."

Han was stunned. His attitude was so tough.

"you……"

"Does mother have any other instructions for her?"

"No, it's nothing."

"Then Nan'er won't disturb your mother's rest. Mother, take good care of yourself. I'll go get busy first."

Han looked embarrassed and could only nod forcedly.

When Chen Nan stood up, he felt Lin Hua's gaze from the corner of his eye, and turned around in an exaggerated manner and said:

"Mother, Nan'er might not be able to handle it all by herself. Could you please ask my second sister to come and help me?"

"Your second sister is young, I'm afraid she can't help much,"

Han raised her eyes and met Chen Nan's gaze.

Chen Nan saw a malicious look in her eyes.

She chuckled.

"Mother, you're joking! My second sister is a capable person. She's thoughtful and can definitely help me a lot."

"My younger brother is still in his infancy, and as legitimate daughters, we sisters should naturally make more sacrifices.

"Mother, please support Nan'er and lend me your second sister, okay?"

Lin Hua spoke in time:

"Mother! My eldest sister has been working hard, I want to go and help her."

"You're not in good health, and you're taking care of your younger brother, so we have to help. After all, Dad is doing this for us.

Han was at her wit's end and had no choice but to agree.

"Go."

"Be careful."

The two saluted and answered in unison, "Yes! We understand."

As soon as they left the room, Uncle Fu stopped the two of them.

"Miss, there's no money in my account right now. I'm afraid it's going to be very inconvenient for me to do anything... What should I do?"
