Chapter 220 Shame
"He wants to find Su Shangshu's daughter. It's you, so just go. How can you talk so much?"
"You really can't spit out ivory from your mouth." Su Manrong glanced at Xiao Chengxian, she didn't hear a serious word from Xiao Chengxian's mouth at all.
After this day of getting along, Su Manrong got used to Xiao Chengxian's attitude, left a word and hurried towards the door.
Xiao Chengxian stared at Su Manrong's figure for a long time before he realized that he had been scolded.
However, he was not angry. Instead, he smiled in a playful manner, put down his luggage, held a child in each hand, and said with a smile: "We will never die of hunger, nor will we die of thirst." ωωw..net
His voice was heard in the east wing. Everyone in the Xiao Mansion naturally knew that Xiao Chengxian was mocking their ruthlessness, but they were all curious about Xiao Chengxian, a dissolute young man with a notorious reputation.
There are still people who can walk dozens of miles to deliver his luggage to the inn?
"It seems that we really underestimated him." Xiao Guoshi snorted coldly.
"Mom, he just has some fair-weather friends and can't achieve anything." The eldest lady Qin Ru is the one who hates Xiao Chengxian the most.
Aunt Du was a maid who seduced her husband and gave birth to a rebellious son who had to be raised in her name.
In the past twenty years, every time she heard Xiao Chengxian call her mother, she felt extremely sick in her heart.
But the master has repeatedly told me that Aunt Du, mother and son must be left behind...
Otherwise, she would never have let Aunt Du and others live to this day...
"Ugh..." The second young lady Zhao Yuhe felt nauseated for no reason, interrupting the conversation between the old lady and the eldest lady. She sat up implicitly and whispered: "Grandma, mother, my period has not been in two months.
Come on, I originally wanted to wait until the banquet was over before telling my mother to ask the doctor to take a look."
"Mrs. Zhao is pregnant?" Xiao Guo clenched the handkerchief excitedly upon hearing this, and looked at Zhao Yuhe expectantly: "Are you feeling sick or nauseous?"
"Well, these are my favorite foods too. I feel sick today when I smell them..."
Zhao Yuhe nodded shyly.
"Sir, they set out for the frontier two months ago. We can calculate the dates and they will be right."
The eldest lady also nodded repeatedly, made some calculations, and determined that her second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhao, was pregnant.
Now that the Xiao family is in trouble, the two direct sons are injured or disabled. Both Xiao Guo and the eldest wife Qin Ru hope that the direct line will flourish.
After all, only with children can there be hope. As long as they don't give up, they can one day return to their former glory.
However, Xiao Ting, the eldest son, has become a useless person, leaving only Xiao Zhiyuan as his only son.
The second son, Xiao Kai, had an arm injury, which did not affect the fertility. After Zhao entered the family, his stomach had not moved for a year. The Xiao Guo family did not allow Xiao Kai to take concubines for fear of affecting the direct lineage...
Now that Mrs. Zhao is pregnant, there is hope for the direct descendants to spread their branches.
"In this way, let Yu He sit on the cart with me tomorrow. She has just become pregnant and her fetus is not stable, so we can't make any mistakes."
Zhao Yuhe nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. She walked dozens of miles a day, but her body couldn't bear it at all.
Even if the cart is bumpy, at least it saves effort.
At this time, outside the door of the inn, Su Manrong stepped forward. Although he could see the other person's appearance clearly, he had no impression of it in his mind.
Logically speaking, important people and scenes in the dream should have appeared, but she had no memory of this old man.
"Third Miss, I am Lao Fu, the coachman of Shangshu Mansion. You may not remember me. My wife and daughter are on the carriage. You will know it as soon as you see me."
As the old man spoke, he shouted to the carriage, and the two women quickly got off the carriage and walked towards Su Manrong with tears in their eyes.
"Miss..." Chun Ming cried and was about to kneel down. She didn't know why the lady was so heartless and insisted on driving her away.
She originally returned to the General's Mansion to plead with the lady again, but then she learned that the General's Mansion was going to be confiscated and all the servants were to be sold off...
The young lady drove her away ruthlessly to protect her.
"Miss's kindness will never be forgotten by our family. If it weren't for your kindness, Chun Ming wouldn't have known where he was being detained at this time.
Even though we have taken your banknote and deed of sale, we cannot just watch you suffer on the road to exile.
Don't worry, miss, we will follow you wherever you go.
Although we cannot suffer on your behalf, we can at least bring you some food and supplies."
The wet nurse also stared at Su Manrong with distress, how could she forget the feeling of feeding her?
"I didn't know you were a family. What about Uncle Fu's contract?"
When Su Manrong emptied out the Shangshu Mansion, he also put the account books and bills in the warehouse into the space, thinking that it would be good to use them as kindling in the future.
"Miss, you don't know something. The Shangshu Mansion doesn't know what kind of anger it has offended. It's just that the heavy white jade in the yard was stolen under everyone's nose.
Even the warehouse of Shangshu Mansion was completely moved, and the servants of Shangshu Mansion knew that the deed of sale had also been stolen, so they all escaped from Shangshu Mansion overnight and went to various places to make a living."
The wet nurse was very relieved, after all, the masters in Shangshu Mansion did not treat their servants as human beings.
Now that there is no bond of sale, those servants can get rid of their status as slaves and become common people.
"Then Madam Shangshu must be very angry, right?"
Su Manrong imagined that in the huge Shangshu Mansion, when they couldn't get even a cent out of it, all the servants would rebel. Wouldn't the Mrs. Shangshu, who was always competitive, be angry to death?
"My wife was so angry that she had to pay for the doctor's treatment, but she used it as a jade bracelet that she had worn for many years."
"Madam's retribution has finally come."
Su Manrong had previously seen the original owner who looked the same as herself in a dream and was bullied by the eldest lady. When she woke up the next day, she was still angry.
The wife of a high-ranking nobleman suffered from facial paralysis... Tsk, tsk, tsk, how could Su Shangshu look at the eldest lady with crooked mouth and squinting eyes every day?
When the Shangshu Mansion gets through this period of time, Su Shangshu will definitely be busy recruiting some young and beautiful aunts. As a result, the eldest lady's face may never get better.
The wet nurse laughed while talking: "The Shangshu Mansion is in complete chaos. Even if the Master sends people to his hometown to carry silver coins, I am afraid that he will not be able to make up for the deficit in the mansion in a short time."
Su Manrong nodded repeatedly when he heard this. Su Shangshu's hometown is in the west of the Holy Capital... Maybe the vehicle carrying the silver coins will meet the exile team.
She should pay more attention and try to move the vehicles transporting silver into the space.
As a result, Shangshu Mansion was short of silver to make up for the shortfall.
Two months later, a natural disaster came. They didn't have any food in stock, and the whole family was waiting to die.
"Wet nurse, Uncle Fu, Chun Ming. I will accept all these things. You should leave quickly and find a place to settle down and live your life."
Su Manrong didn't need any luggage from them, she just wanted to find a cover to bring out the food openly.
"Miss, our family doesn't know where we are going. We just want to accompany the lady to Sichuan..." The wet nurse shook her head and said distressedly: "Miss, please don't drive us away, we absolutely can't
Watching you suffer."
