After the rebirth of the wronged soft girl, the devil's crematorium

Su Wan's voice was soft, like a kitten's whisper, tender and full of expectation.

Xie Yin paused, turning back to gaze at Su Wan, who was holding the cat. Her clear, watery eyes were like a sky full of stars, yet shrouded in an elusive mystery. A gentle breeze rustled past, and under the flickering light, a smile curved Xie Yin's lips, like the cold moon on a cold night, yet carrying an inexplicable warmth. With a single glance, he turned and disappeared into the night.

Looking at the empty night, Su Wan raised her eyelashes. He hasn't told me what kind of poison the cat is in!

……

"Young Madam, where did the cat come from?" Early in the morning, Liu Shang saw a big, soft, fat cat in the basket and he immediately felt less sleepy.

Su Wan flipped through the books on the shelf and smiled, "I sneaked in yesterday."

"You sneaked in? Then why don't you ask who it belongs to? It would be bad if people misunderstood you."

Su Wan stood up, walked over to Liu Shang, and squatted down, stroking the still sleeping cat. "No need, it's a stray cat, no one loves it, and no one cares about it." Seeing Su Wan's burning eyes looking at the cat, Liu Shang was puzzled. How did the young lady know? However, the courtyard was even more lively now!

For the next few days, Su Wan remained in Tingyuxuan. Wen's men came several times to inquire about her condition, but seeing Su Wan's pale complexion, the servants assumed she was seriously ill. They simply said they would find a servant for Su Wan and said nothing more. When Qin Shi learned that Zheng Yanchen had interceded with the Wen family on Su Wan's behalf, she was furious and horrified. She pointed at her husband, Zheng Yanjin, and called him a failure.

Although Zheng Yanjin had been a bit of a jerk, he was quite open-minded. "If you ask me, why don't you just give up the stewardship? Why put up with all this? We're in perfect harmony, and Mother won't treat you unfairly. Let that ugly thing do the hard work. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

"Get lost!" Qin Shi almost collapsed at the sight of her husband's lack of ambition. She had no one to back her up in her family, and her stepmother constantly criticized her for everything. Now, she had married a husband who was just as useless as her. She felt deeply wronged.

"Young Madam, Steward Sun is here to see you."

Upon hearing the servant's report, Qin wiped away the tears from her eyes and regained her composure. She walked gracefully to the central hall, looked at the steward in front of the screen, and asked solemnly, "What's the matter?"

"Young Madam, recently, the people you assigned to the Second Young Madam's shops have been gradually forced out. Now, many people in the mansion have nothing to do." Steward Sun raised his eyes slightly, peeking through the screen to peek at Qin's expression. At this moment, the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Anything else?" Qin suddenly spoke, startling Steward Sun's shoulders. "Also, there seems to be something wrong with the tea we're importing. Several tea merchants are making a scene, accusing us of passing off inferior goods as genuine." Qin paused, then sneered, her eyes suddenly darkening. "But you can't even handle a few commoners. If they're easygoing, just pay them a little to settle the matter. If they're aggressive, shut them up forever! Isn't that simple?" Qin's tone was heavy, filling the entire hall with a sense of oppression.

Manager Sun didn't dare to breathe, just replied "yes" and left in a hurry.

When only Qin and her family were left in the main hall, she grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it against the screen, then collapsed on the table and burst into tears. She hated Su Wan, the Wen family, the Zheng family, and the world! The nanny beside her simply shook her head, stepped forward to close the door, and after cleaning up the mess on the floor, quietly retreated.

Qin hated Su Wan, but the servants had a different attitude towards her. First, Su Wan angrily beat Zeng Ma in front of Qin, and then Zheng Yanchen publicly defended Su Wan without regard for Qin's face. That wasn't all, the key point was that Erlang Jun was actually kicked out of the courtyard!

"It seems that it's not certain who dislikes who."

"That's right. I saw that the look in Erlang Jun's eyes when he looked at the Second Young Madam was very affectionate. I don't know who deliberately spread the rumor that the Young Madam was being ignored."

"The eldest young lady took her anger out on Liu Shang because of all the unhappiness she experienced. However, you have to say that the second young lady is truly a loyal person."

"I grew up in the mountains and returned to the Su family at the age of fourteen. I don't have the airs of those children from aristocratic families."

Everyone talked one after another, and then began to reflect on whether they had offended Su Wan, how serious the offense was, and how to make amends in the future.

On her way back, Liuyan received a flurry of greetings, which only made her blush slightly. When she returned and told the others in the courtyard about it, Liushang was so happy that he clapped his hands vigorously, frightening the kitten in his arms and saying, "It was worth it!"

Su Wan held a pen in one hand and knocked her head with the other, "Nonsense! If I have to sacrifice your safety to gain face for myself, I would rather slap myself twice!" Su Wan's tone was normal, but with her face as calm as water, Liu Shang knew that she was angry.

Nanny Li handed Su Wan a bowl of osmanthus dew and said, "The Madam sent someone to inquire about you a few days ago. I told her that you haven't been feeling well lately. We chatted for a while, and she said that you've been diligently looking at the account books, and the shop's profits are very good. No one has urged you to pay your respects lately, nor has anyone asked about you kicking someone out of the shop. It seems her opinion of you has changed."

Su Wan bowed her head in silence. She knew that what Nanny Li had said alone wouldn't be enough to change Wen's opinion of her. After all, if someone disliked her after just one meeting and then repeatedly disobeyed her, she would only dislike him even more. Wen's change of heart was partly due to Qin's repeated missteps, which had made her question her ability as a housekeeper. More importantly, Zheng Yanchen must have said something to her.

"What does the mother-in-law say about the servants?"

"Yu Luo told me that you had been to the pawnshop and that you didn't want to have any more people. Madam meant that she would let the eldest young lady choose carefully."

Naturally, I had to pick some smarter ones so that I could pay attention to her every move.

"Liushang, take a look at these words. Do they have any of my brother's style?"

Liu Shang stood beside Su Wan, scratching his head and asking, "Young Madam, what is this word? Is it a turtle?"

"Stupid, this is a horse, a horse of instant success!"

Liu Shang uttered a suspicious "Oh," which made Nanny Li giggle. Seeing Liu Yan coming back, Nanny Li hurriedly stood up to give her a taste of the sweet-scented osmanthus dew she had prepared, but she saw that Liu Yan's face was not happy. "What's wrong?"

Seeing Nanny Li asking the question, the master and servant raised their heads and looked at Liuyan, only to hear her frowning and saying, "Manager Liu was beaten."

Su Wan's mouth flattened, "When did it happen? Is the injury serious?"

"It was the day before yesterday. I heard he was busy preparing for the opening of the teahouse, but a few days ago he went to Jinxiufang and was beaten to death by several men at the door. I heard he was so injured that he couldn't get out of bed. They also threw feces in front of the shop, which made some people dare not enter the shop."

"Who is so vicious?"

"Think about who I've offended recently. Don't you understand?" Su Wan clenched the pen in her hand. "I want to go see Uncle Liu."

Nanny Li stepped forward and said, "This is inappropriate!"

Su Wan knew what they were worried about. "I'll wear Liushang and Liuyan's clothes and go out to get medicine. Liushang will lie on the bed and won't let anyone in." Su Wan and Liushang have similar figures. She just pulled the veil to the corners of her eyes and put on some powder.

At dusk, Su Wan and Liu Yan first went to the clinic to get medicine and then went to Mingxiangxuan.

"Oh, aren't these the two girls beside the young lady?" Cang Yi stood by the window on the second floor of Fengming Tower, looking around.
