After the rebirth of the wronged soft girl, the devil's crematorium
Chapter 33 Blame
Su Wan had no idea what was happening in the back garden and was concentrating on chatting with Cheng.
"I heard from your uncle that he offended Liu Yi the other day for some unknown reason. Liu Yi immediately complained about the Zheng family's recent arrogance and nepotism. Yan Chen, a hot-tempered man, immediately retorted. Unexpectedly, he angered the emperor, and I heard he was beaten with thirty sticks."
Cheng continued, "That would be fine. I heard that the father and son were late leaving their posts the next day. Duke Zheng had something to do and left early. As a result, Yanchen's carriage was passing a street when the road suddenly collapsed, and he was thrown out."
Su Wan was a little surprised, "What a coincidence?"
"Who says it's not? Who knows what kind of luck this is?"
Cheng sighed as she helped Su Wan draw the pattern. "It's also his fault that he's been lashing out at this and that these past few days. I guess his words have been too harsh, and he's also been plagued by bad luck."
Cheng's words were quite condescending. The implication was that the Zheng family had offended someone in the court and was being plotted against. As for who, this person couldn't say.
But Cheng hadn't finished yet. She said excitedly, "More importantly, I heard that he fell hard."
Su Wan's cheeks flushed slightly as she looked up at her aunt in surprise. Even she, as his wife, didn't know about this. How could it spread so quickly?
"There have been quite a few rumors about the Duke's Mansion in recent days. Wan'er, you better be careful."
Cheng finally got to the point. What she said was to tell Su Wan that the Duke's Mansion might have to face some storms in the next few days. I guess this was what Su Yanshu asked her to convey.
Su Wan slowed down, smiled, and approached Cheng and said, "I don't go out much, I wonder what else has been spread?"
Cheng smiled helplessly, "There are so many things, such as deceiving the people and killing people. In short, when the wall falls, everyone pushes it down. Seeing that our own people have stood on the opposite side, those with ulterior motives will naturally add insult to injury."
She held Su Wan's hand and said, "Wan'er, I know you. You never cause trouble. But your status is different now. Even if you sit quietly, there will always be people who want to throw water on your head. What I fear most is that your mother-in-law will get angry and blame you."
Cheng knew Wen's temper well: she was arrogant and quick-tempered, and most importantly, she had always looked down on Su Wan. Just looking at Wen's attitude towards the Su family revealed what Su Wan's life was like at the Duke's Mansion.
Su Wan patted Cheng's hand and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. My family has been in the Zheng family for more than half a year, and we've figured out the ways of survival. If she really wants to blame me, I can just hand over the housekeeping duties and find a Buddhist temple to copy scriptures. I'll have some peace and quiet."
Of course, this was just to comfort Cheng. How could she be so easily deprived of her power? She had worked so hard to gain it.
Cheng patted Su Wan's hand and said, "It's good that you can look at it in a positive light. If there is anything really wrong, you must send someone to the Su Mansion."
Su Wan nodded with emotion.
At this moment, Yu Luo ran over and said, "Young Madam, something bad has happened. Two maids are fighting outside and they are clamoring to find you."
"What's going on?" Before Su Wan could get anxious, Cheng Shi got anxious first.
Su Wan smiled, "Don't be angry, Second Aunt. Go and see what happened."
When the two men came to the yard, they saw two old women holding their waists angrily and looking unconvinced.
Seeing this, Cheng immediately frowned. What the hell? He was so arrogant in front of his master. If he were in the Su family, he would have sold him out as soon as possible.
Su Wan walked forward and spoke calmly, "What's wrong with the two maids?"
The two then bowed awkwardly, "Mrs. Cheng, Young Madam."
The slightly fatter maid spoke first, "Young Madam, please understand. I just came to the storeroom the day before yesterday. This woman started arguing with me for no apparent reason, and that's what alarmed Young Madam."
"Am I looking for trouble?" The nanny next to her immediately shouted, "Let everyone judge for themselves. I have been in this warehouse for so many years, and they replaced me without even saying hello. I should at least be prepared." As she spoke, the nanny began to cry.
"Madam, who asked you to come here?"
Su Wan's tone changed slightly, but her eyes inexplicably became more imposing. The fat nanny lowered her head and said, "I was originally from your Jinxiu Pavilion. Not long ago, I returned to the mansion and waited for a long time before I was given a serious job."
"I say, who asked you to come here?" Su Wan interrupted her and continued to ask.
The old woman stammered, "Yes, it's the eldest young master's wife."
Cheng, who was behind him, understood what was going on as soon as she heard it. She guessed that Qin was doing something for her under the guise of Su Wan.
"Since it was arranged by the eldest young lady, you should go to the eldest young lady to seek justice. What are you doing here?"
Another maid wiped her tears and laughed, "Everyone knows that you are the head of the family now. Even the eldest young lady can't get around you when she does things."
"Since you know that the Second Young Master's Madam is the head of the family, why do you talk to her like this?" Cheng Shi couldn't help but stepped forward and scolded.
The two men immediately stepped back and dared not speak. Cheng's face was gloomy with anger, and it was clear that she did not take the Su family seriously.
"Yes, even if my sister has a soft personality, is too busy, and neglects these things, it is not your turn to say anything." Jiang Yun came in front of the two of them and seemed indignant.
"Sister is tired from playing. Wait for a while over here. Let me talk first."
Jiang Yun's face froze. When she turned around, she saw Su Wan looking at her with a faint smile. She felt a chill on her back, and a flash of panic flashed through her heart. What the hell?
Seeing Cheng staring at her again, she lowered her head and walked behind Cheng, feeling a little aggrieved.
Su Wan ignored Jiang Yun's feelings and continued, "I really don't know what happened today. I need to ask my sister-in-law first. If you can't wait, you might as well go and discuss it with my mother-in-law. By then, things won't be so peaceful. I have guests here. How long will you stay?"
After hearing this, the two men finally realized what was happening, stopped making trouble, and quickly left.
After Su Wan comforted and sent Cheng away, she came to Youchun Hall to pay her respects at sunset, while Qin came early.
Wen looked at Su Wan who walked in with a sullen face, while Qin, who had made the move, raised her eyebrows.
"Mother-in-law."
"I am cured?"
"Yes, that's why I came to pay my respects to my mother-in-law today."
"Humph, I originally thought that letting my good daughter-in-law take care of the household would make it easier for me, an old woman. Who knew you were so capable? The more you manage, the more chaos you make."
"It's only been a few days since this kitchen has been in turmoil. Where will it go next?"
Su Wan quickly knelt down and said, "It's all my fault. Mother-in-law, please take care of your health and don't get angry."
Then she quietly glanced at Qin, only to see her nonchalantly fiddling with the teacup on the table. There was a faint smile in her eyes, as if the villain had come first to complain.
Wen sneered, "I guess I, your mother-in-law, am not blessed to enjoy my life. You can't take good care of your husband, and the inner courtyard is a mess."
Wen waved her hand and said, "I really don't know what use you are to me!" The teacup on the table fell to the ground with a bang.
Seeing Qin getting angry, Su Wan quickly knelt down, and the teacup and the tea leaves rolled in front of Su Wan.
"I'm afraid mother-in-law has misunderstood. My husband has been injured these past few days and it's inconvenient for him to go to Tingyuxuan, but my daughter-in-law sends him food every day. How dare I treat him badly?"
When Wen thought about Zheng Yanchen being injured again, she almost couldn't breathe. Will she be able to hold her grandson again before she died?
