When Xu Xiuyi woke up, she was lying in a room in the manor. The room was smoked with mugwort. There were several blurry figures moving around in front of her eyes. She moved a little, and her whole body felt like it was falling apart. Her hands were suddenly wrapped in a pair of warm palms.

into the palm of your hand.

"Xiu Yi, you're awake."

The hazy fog in front of Xu Xiuyi's eyes began to disappear, and she could clearly see that the man in front of her was Su Jinyuan. She seemed to remember someone reaching out to help her when she was desperate, and those big palms were so generous and warm.

She was about to ask if it was Su Jinyuan who saved her, but in a daze, she always felt that it was a very familiar person. When she opened her mouth, she felt a dry, hoarse pain in her throat. Su Jinyuan hurriedly asked Jin Yu to get her water, and said: "Don't talk, you

The injury was too serious and I was unconscious for several days. I have a severe fever. Drink some water."

"Child." She spoke hoarsely and struggled to utter two words. She fell down and was saved by a small tree. The moment when her lower abdomen hit the small tree heavily, the heartbreaking pain, and the faint falling pain in her lower abdomen at this moment,

Make her uneasy.

Su Jinyuan said hurriedly: "The child is here, don't worry, Xiu Yi, you and the child are blessed with good fortune and everything will be fine. I, Xun Ai, will carry out the pregnancy for you these days. Just don't worry, the child will always be here."

As he spoke, he held Xu Xiuyi's hand and placed his two hands overlapping on Xu Xiuyi's belly. His eyes were slightly moist: "I'm really worried about losing you mother and son. Without you, there is no point in my life. God bless me. Fortunately

You, mother and son, are safe."

Xu Xiuyi was moved, but didn't know what to say. Su Jinyuan thought that they had performed the courtesy of Zhou Gong that night when they were drunk, so he always felt that the child was his, but...

Xu Xiuyi wanted to tell him, but how could she say it? She also had a selfish side, and she didn't want the child to go through any twists and turns before he was born. Although Su Jinyuan loved her now, there was no guarantee that he would do anything extreme after knowing that the child was not his flesh and blood.

.

Xu Xiuyi was grateful to him, and she owed him even more. She could only make mistakes, thinking silently in her heart, and wiped out the past. No matter who owed whom, who was sorry to whom, after all, none of them had ever been completely loyal to anyone. If they could, then they would

Spending a lifetime with Su Jinyuan like this, in fact, he is no longer the Su Jinyuan he used to be. He is responsible and loves their mother and son. To be honest, he is impeccable, but her heart has never been able to put him in the position of love.

Some people say that love and emotion are water and ice. They are actually the same substance. As long as the temperature is properly controlled, ice will melt and emotion will turn into love. For Xu Xiuyi, she doesn’t know when that day is, but

At least she's willing to try.

She couldn't speak, so Su Jinyuan told her some interesting stories about when he was doing business with the master of the Su family. Those interesting past events showed that Su Jinyuan was originally a business expert. It was because the master of the Su family was there at that time, Su Jinyuan

The pillars of his family had not collapsed, so he was living so freely.

He never mentioned the business of Baoning Hall in the past few days. The more he didn't mention it, the more Xu Xiuyi knew that it might not be good.

Su Jinyuan talked for a while, and the sky turned dark. He went out and said that he had something to do, and asked Jin Yu to take care of Xu Xiuyi. Jin Yu looked at Xu Xiuyi, and because Su Jinyuan was not in a good mood, tears fell down.

"Grandma, you really scared me to death. You have been in a coma for the past few days and said some strange words. I thought grandma, you...Grandma, you finally woke up. The third master has been beside your bed with no clothes on for the past few days.

I didn't even have a good meal while I was guarding."

Jin Yu cried with tears streaming down her face. Xu Xiuyi tried her best to put on a comforting smile and said with difficulty: "I'm fine, am I not?"

"Grandma, please stop talking. Listening to your voice, I feel so sorry for you. I just want to feel sorry for you. How have you ever suffered like this since you were a child? Grandma, please rest. I will give you some medicine."

Bring it."

Until now, she never asked who saved her that day, but when she woke up, she remembered the loosening of the steps again.

It rained that morning, and the weather was pleasant. Although the road was still a bit slippery when we walked up the back mountain, the floors were all poured and there was no sign of looseness, except for the stone steps.

She just stepped on that stone step lightly, and it collapsed instantly and she rolled down. The day before when she was wandering around the back hill of Su Li's family after dinner, all the stone steps were in good condition, let alone

The whole thing was loose and vulnerable, and there was nothing even slightly wobbly.

She did not believe that this stone step was caused by rain erosion. Even if it was loosened by rain, it would not be so loose, as if the mud foundation underneath had been hollowed out overnight.

Just as she was thinking about it, Jin Yu came back, holding the decoction in her hand, and helped her up: "Grandma, be careful not to burn it."

"kindness."

Her throat hurt so much that she couldn't speak, and she also felt tired and achy. The torture made her very uncomfortable. After drinking the decoction, she fell asleep tiredly. When she opened her eyes again, she saw the sun again. It was the second time.

early morning.

As usual, Su Jinyuan was the first person to catch his eye. He stayed with her for about another night. After a night, her throat had softened, and although her body still hurt, the heat was still bearable. She saw Su Jinyuan leaning against the window beside her bed.

When Lan fell asleep, he whispered softly: "Jinyuan, Jinyuan."

"Well? You're awake, Xiu Yi, why don't you sleep a little longer? It's still early."

"Go to bed and get some sleep."

Xu Xiuyi really felt sorry for her, she always felt guilty towards Su Jinyuan.

Su Jinyuan shook his head, reached out and hugged her, sat up, and said, "I'm not tired. Are you feeling better? Come on, let me feel your pulse."

Xu Xiuyi stretched out her hand, Su Jinyuan touched it and nodded: "There are only some skin injuries on the body. The child is fine and the fever has gone away. It will be fine in a few days. It's just that your ankle is sprained and it will hurt your muscles and bones for a hundred days."

Stay in bed and recuperate, I will come over to stay with you every day."

"What about Baoning Hall?"

Xu Xiuyi still cares about Baoningtang. Su Jinyuan smiled slightly: "You are more important than anything else."

"But Baoningtang..."

"Don't worry, Bao'an Tang has not done much in the past few days except selling Guiling paste. We have launched four other herbal teas as scheduled. Although the sales are not as good as Guiling paste, they are still selling well. Don't worry, just take care of your health. Now the fourth brother is also

Help me at Baoningtang and nothing will happen."

"Su Jinyu." She shouted. Fang felt that she had shown excessive hostility towards Su Jinyu in front of Su Jinyuan, so she quickly restrained her anger and said, "That's fine, you don't have to guard me. After all, the fourth brother has never done business.

, you’d better keep an eye on the store and him, and don’t let him cause any trouble.”

Su Jinyuan was silent for a moment, then curled his lips and said, "You are a hard worker, so okay, I'll go to the store first so you can rest, and I'll be back in the evening."

"Well, go ahead."

Su Jinyuan left, and Xu Xiuyi couldn't get out of bed, so she wanted to ask Jin Yu how she was saved that day. Jin Yu happened to come in with a soup and medicine, so she asked about what happened that day.

Jin Yu was still frightened when she heard her asking about what happened that day, and her face was a mixture of heartache, admiration, and self-blame.

"It's all my fault that I didn't help you, and I didn't go down to save you after you fell. I was too panicked and fell a few times on the way back to find someone, which delayed me for a while. Fortunately, grandma, you were strong and climbed up by yourself.

Returned to the pavilion on the hill behind the manor."

"Pavilion?"

"Grandma, can't you remember? We found grandma in the pavilion at the back of the mountain, but she passed out around that time and didn't know where she was. Grandma was lucky enough to be able to climb up such a steep slope.

, the young master is also very lucky. If we delay for a while, really... Bah, bah, bah, this slave's mouth deserves a slap. Grandma, if you survive the disaster, you will be blessed later. When you were a child, the fortune teller said that you were destined to be rich and noble.

grid."

She definitely didn't climb up by herself. Someone rescued her in the haze. Although she couldn't see who it was, why didn't he come to the Su family to take credit for saving her? Vaguely, a gentle call sounded in her ears - Xiu

Son.

She was startled. Could it be him? It was impossible. She was probably overthinking it.

It must have been the person who loosened the slate, who had been secretly following and watching. He probably just wanted to teach her a lesson, but he didn't expect that he would almost kill two of her, so he saved her because he was afraid that things would get worse.

This was her guess, but compared to the guess that he was rescued by An Chengshao, she felt it was more reliable.

"Where's grandma? Why haven't I seen her since I woke up?"

Jin Yu's face looked slightly troubled.

Xu Xiuyi's eyebrows tightened, feeling a little ominous: "What's wrong?"

Jin Yu sniffed: "Grandma and uncle were driven away."

"What's the meaning?"

"It was the grandma and the uncle who were driven away by the fourth master. He said that if the grandma hadn't taken good care of you that day and didn't care about the jade flute he went home to get, nothing would have happened to you. The old lady was also interested in you.

Very, knowing that something almost happened to you and your child, I angrily listened to the fourth master’s words and asked the eldest grandma and uncle to divide the family, gave them some property and a mansion, and asked them to move out. "

"What...ah!" She sat up in shock, touched the wound, and gasped in pain.

Jin Yu hurriedly came over to support her, and kept urging: "Grandma, don't worry about it. This is the old lady's decision, and no one can change it. Grandma, you should take care of yourself."

Xu Xiuyi felt depressed in her heart. She didn't care about the relationship between Su Li and Su Jinye when something happened. Not to mention that they would not be driven out of the house, but she asked the fourth son Su Jinyu to get involved. No wonder Xu Xiuyi asked Su Jinyuan to watch Su Jinyu say goodbye.

When something happens, Su Jinyuan's face becomes silent for a moment.

It turned out that Su Jinyu had already caused trouble for her.

The old lady of the Su family has never been happy with the old lady. Although the big house of the Su family contributed at least five points when the Su family was at its lowest, I am afraid that it was because of this that the old lady of the Su family tried every means to get rid of the big house of the Su family.

Xu Xiuyi had been getting along with the old lady of the Su family for many days, and she had already seen clearly the character of the old lady of the Su family. The old lady of the Su family looked kind and kind, but her body was also very frail, so there was nothing to guard against.

But she is extremely wealthy and will do anything for her two sons.

Before Su Jinyuan came back, she had no way to control Xu Xiuyi, so she repeatedly tolerated Xu Xiuyi's promotion to the head of the Su family, but turned a blind eye to her son Su Jinyu and did not give away any rights.

Now that Su Jinyuan is back, she has someone to rely on, and she can finally show off the power of the old lady of the Su family and do whatever she wants.

After driving away the first house, the second house became independent again. The entire Su family now belongs to Su Jinyuan and Su Jinyu, and no one can get a share of the pie.

She planned carefully and arranged Su Jinyu to Baoning Hall. She said she wanted Su Jinyu to study. To put it bluntly, it was just to let Su Jinyu supervise Su Jinyuan. There was only one thing Su Jinyu could supervise over Su Jinyuan - she, Xu Xiuyi.

The old lady of the Su family was afraid that Su Jinyuan would be led by Xu Xiuyi, so she sent Su Jinyu to watch.

The old lady of the Su family even wanted to take back the Peony Embroidery Shop opened by Xu Xiuyi in her own name and give it to her son. The old lady was probably confused and forgot that the key to the family was still in Xu Xiuyi's hand. Xu Xiuyi never had it

He once said that he would give up his right to be the master.

She was really bold to drive away the Su family's eldest house. She actually dared to cross her, the head of the family.

"Give me pen and paper."

She ordered. Jin Yu didn't know what she was going to do, but he quickly brought it to her.

After setting up a small table, Xu Xiuyi endured the pain in her abdomen and wrote a three-page letter in one breath, saying to Jin Yu: "Send it to the uncle."

Jin Yu nodded, came over and helped Xu Xiuyi to lie down distressedly: "I know grandma will not ignore it. I shouldn't talk too much. Tell grandma now. If grandma is angry, I will have sinned."

"Go deliver the letter, I'm fine."

"Grandma, rest now. I'll ask Yinyu to come in and take care of you. I'm going to deliver the message."
