Quick Transmigration: Striving Every Day to Overcome Tribulation

Chapter 50: The cannon fodder in the story quits.

As night fell, Su Su still did not wake up from her deep sleep.

During this rare moment of leisure, Minister Su finished his busy day of official duties and returned home to have dinner with his family.

The wives and concubines of the mansion dressed up carefully and came gracefully. The illegitimate daughters and sons also arrived one after another, each with a respectful expression.

However, while everyone was gathered, Su Su was the only one missing.

Upon seeing this, Minister Su couldn't help but ask about Su Su's whereabouts.

Madam Su was slightly taken aback, then quickly found an excuse and said softly, "Master, Su'er has been throwing a tantrum for some reason. She said she didn't want to eat, so she didn't come."

However, Minister Su did not buy it. He frowned slightly and thought to himself that his daughter always liked him the most. Whenever he was home, Su Su was always the first to come and greet him. How could she not come to see him today because of a tantrum?

Minister Su's gaze swept over everyone, seemingly trying to find an answer. Those present exchanged bewildered glances, unsure how to respond. The atmosphere at the dinner table became somewhat awkward due to Su Su's absence.

Finally, Minister Su prepared to instruct his servants to invite Su Su over.

But the servant looked hesitant and trembled.

Minister Su was displeased with the servants' reaction and was about to punish them, but his mother interrupted him.

“My lord, Su’er is sick. I only told you this because I didn’t want you to worry, as she’s throwing a tantrum.”

"What? She's sick. Has a doctor been called? What's wrong?" Minister Su asked repeatedly, growing more and more worried. He stood up and prepared to walk towards Su Su's courtyard.

No matter how hard Su's mother tried to stop them, she couldn't. So she sat nervously at the main table, and bit her lip as she told the crowd below, who were flashing ambiguous glances, to go back.

Minister Su hurried toward Su Su's courtyard, his heart filled with anxiety.

His mind kept replaying Su Su's lively and adorable appearance. Now that he knew his daughter was sick, he only regretted that he hadn't discovered it sooner.

Upon arriving at Su Su's courtyard, Minister Su immediately saw Su Su lying on the bed, her face pale. He hurriedly went to the bedside, gently took Su Su's hand, and his eyes were full of heartache.

"Su'er, what's wrong with you? Father is here. You must get better soon," Minister Su called softly.

At this moment, the doctor was also hurriedly summoned. Minister Su stood anxiously to the side, watching the doctor take Su Su's pulse.

In the main hall, Su's mother watched the departing figures of everyone, her heart filled with worry.

She didn't know if Su Su had woken up or not. If she had, that would be fine. But if she hadn't, Su's mother couldn't bear to imagine what would happen next. She was also worried that Minister Su would blame her for it.

She bit her lip tightly, her hands trembling slightly, silently praying that Su Su would wake up and help her cover up the incident.

Meanwhile, Minister Su waited anxiously in Su Su's room for the doctor's diagnosis.

“Master Su, Miss’s knee injury is far too serious. In my humble opinion, it would be best to have a female physician come and examine her as soon as possible. Moreover, Miss has not yet woken up, and two whole hours have passed.”

The doctor, his face full of worry, reported to Minister Su in an urgent tone.

"Quickly, go and fetch the female physician!" Minister Su was extremely anxious and immediately ordered his servants to go and fetch the female physician.

At the same time, he also keenly noticed the key point in the doctor's words: "Knee? What knee? Tell me, is the young lady sick or injured?"

Minister Su's gaze was sharp as he surveyed everyone in the room, his voice filled with authority and anxiety.

All the servants in the room lowered their heads, knelt on the ground, and dared not utter a sound.

They were well aware of the seriousness of the matter, and none of them dared to answer the master's question lightly.

The room was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere, as if even the air itself had frozen.

Minister Su's eyes searched through the crowd, and he suddenly spotted his daughter's personal maid, Shanzhu, among them.

He immediately pointed at the fan bead and said sternly, "Fan bead, you tell me!"

When Shanzhu heard the master call her name, her body trembled violently, and a sense of fear welled up in her heart.

She slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with fear and hesitation.

She knew that revealing this would cause a huge uproar and might even bring her trouble, but she dared not disobey her master's orders. She bit her lip and fell into a deep dilemma.

Finally, Shanzhu closed her eyes briefly, as if making an extremely difficult decision, before slowly opening them again.

Knowing that the matter could no longer be concealed, she bit her lip and told Minister Su the whole story.

When Minister Su angrily questioned why he didn't know about this, Shanzhu remained silent.

Minister Su looked at the silent fan and suddenly understood.

The female doctor arrived soon.

Minister Su waited on the side until the female physician examined Su Su carefully and learned that his daughter, a young lady of high birth, was actually so weak.

Minister Su was heartbroken. Looking at the unconscious Su Su, he felt guilty. He had been too busy and neglected his family.

Afterwards, Minister Su instructed his servants to take good care of Su Su.

Then, with a gloomy expression, he headed towards the Green Courtyard.

In the Biyuan Courtyard, he had a fight with Su's mother. Su Shangshu even decisively stripped Su's mother of her power to manage the household and sent someone to invite his mother back to take charge of the overall situation.

He knew that only in this way could he ensure that his daughter would receive better care in the future.

If it weren't for the circumstances at the time that required him to rely on the power of his mother's family, Minister Su would never have married his mother.

Moreover, she later learned that her mother already had someone else in her heart.

The thought of what Su's mother had done to his daughter fueled a burning rage in Minister Su's heart. He could tolerate the fact that she had someone else in her heart—they already had a child, and that person was dead—so he could overlook it. But if Su's mother wanted to help her beloved's child, she could do it herself.

But we cannot allow him to cross the line.

"She's really gone mad. She doesn't love her own daughter, and she only cares about the daughter of a dead person. Does she really not care about the reputation of the four families?"

Minister Su was furious. He never expected that his mother would so blatantly sacrifice her own daughter to protect the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family.

"They can't even stand up for themselves, yet they want to ruin my daughter. The Marquis of Xinyong's family is truly something else." Minister Su clenched his teeth so tightly they felt like they were about to break.

He knew he could no longer stand idly by and had to take action.

He decided to have a serious talk with his mother-in-law's family, to let them know what Su's mother had done, and that they should try to stop her from doing this, or else he would be ruthless.

Of course, he also wanted to have a good talk with the Marquis of Xinyong's mansion. Su Shangshu's face was filled with a fierce light.
