Chapter 48 Tossing and turning
Cheng Chun looked at Su Xubai helplessly, but found that he did not like him, as if nothing happened at the moment.
Her arm was pulled so much that it hurt, and tears were already circling in her eyes. However, when she saw Su Xubai's appearance of pretending that nothing had happened, the tears that were about to shed suddenly turned back.
She endured the pain and insults and saluted Mrs. Su respectfully, but even so, Mrs. Su's face was still full of contempt.
Those ugly words were like they didn't have money, and they were spit out of Mrs. Su's mouth. Cheng Chun wanted to cry very much, but she held it deeply because she knew very well that tears would be left to those who would feel sorry for her. If she cried now, not only would no one feel sorry for her, but she would even be laughed at.
Cheng Chun no longer remembers how she returned to the room. She was placed in Su Xubai's yard, a very small side room. The whole yard was clean as soon as it came in. It was obviously cleaned up deliberately. But she didn't expect that when she arrived in this side room, she could see the dust accumulated over the years at first glance.
Hongdou, who came in with Chengchun, immediately turned red: "Madam, they are too bullying."
The smell of rotten mixed with dust rushed into the nose. Cheng Chun sneezed several times and tears fell out. But even so, she said with a smile: "Since we come from, we will not stay in this place for a long time. If we endure, we will pass."
Hongdou curled his lips, walked to Chengchun, and held her hand and cried, "I'm just not worth it for my wife. She didn't deliver it to her, but she wanted to marry the fifth master. The fifth master hired an official position himself and did not go to his wife's house. According to the rules, he carried the wife into the mansion with the courtesy of a good concubine. Now everything has become the wife's fault. This is really unreasonable."
Cheng Chun listened, and didn't say anything.
After a long time, Cheng Chun walked to the corner and picked up a broom: "The fifth master has not yet married, but he took the lead in taking a concubine. It is reasonable and this is all a mistake. However, the fifth master is the wife's child after all. Even if he is angry and unwilling to accept it, she will never blame her own child. Then I will naturally be the scapegoat!"
Hongdou quickly walked to Chengchun and took the broom: "Madam, I'll do it!"
Cheng Chun didn't have any arguments at all, but just turned around and walked into the room: "Then I'll go pack my luggage!"
Hongdou looked at Cheng Chun's back and suddenly said, "Don't you even feel wronged?"
Chengchun's steps came to an abrupt end: "I think, but what can I do? If I become a concubine, my life belongs to someone else. How can I feel wronged?"
Hongdou immediately turned red when she heard Cheng Chun's words. He quickly walked up to her and grabbed her hand: "Madam, let's go back! Let's go back to our own town, and we won't be so cowardly here."
Cheng Chun didn't say anything, just looked at Hongdou.
Hongdou looked at Cheng Chun with red eyes, and after a long time he said, "Madam..."
"I want to go back too. It's my home, but I have no choice. I have married someone and become a concubine. Wherever they ask me to be, I can only be there. Hongdou, if the fifth master doesn't go back, I can't go back either!" Cheng Chun lowered his eyes, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes, "I have no choice."
Hongdou didn't say anything anymore, but just silently cleaned the remote courtyard. By the time she returned to the house, Chengchun had already cleaned the house.
Cheng Chun sat there to pack his luggage. When he saw Hongdou come in, he smiled and said, "Although the room looks dilapidated, the furniture is all good. I cleaned it and I can still live in it!"
"Madam, are you hungry? I'll go to the kitchen to find some food for you." Hongdou said without responding, and she felt sad and didn't want to mention these things.
Cheng Chun shook his head: "Fifth Master said, please don't walk around the mansion. Someone will send you food and food here. This is the Marquis' Mansion. We are more at ease and try not to walk around and not to make people angry."
"Madam..."
"Come on the way, call me little lady!" Cheng Chun said with his head down, not raising his head again.
That night, Chengchun's house did not light the lights. They were just a newcomer, and there was not even a kerosene lamp in the house. Hongdou went to find someone to ask for it. Not only did he fail to get the lights, but he was scolded in the end. Hongdou was so angry that he cried for a long time.
Although Chengchun felt sad, he still told Hongdou not to care about it or cause trouble. They just stayed here for a while and then went back to Jiangnan.
But that night, Su Xubai did not come until late at night. Although Cheng Chun didn't say anything, she still felt a little strange. She had never slept alone for those days. It seemed that a long time ago, when they first slept in the same bed, she even felt a little uncomfortable when she was lying alone in the same bed.
Chengchun waited for a long time until Songlan sent the candles over: "Fifth Master is not here today. He asked me to tell my mother that she would rest early and not wait for him!"
When Hongdou heard Song Lan's words, she was instantly angry: "My wife has been asleep long ago!"
The door was thrown in front of Sanglan, and Hongdou was so angry that he couldn't speak. Cheng Chun looked at it without asking, but just said to Hongdou: "Hongdou, do you want to sleep with me?"
Hongdou did not refuse and slept with Chengchun.
This night was particularly long. Cheng Chun was lying in a remote house, tossing and turning, while Su Xubai knelt in the ancestral hall, copying the family rules over and over again.
Su Xubai had expected these things long before he came back, but when Songlan told him that Chengchun had no candlelight in his yard, he broke a pen and asked Songlan to send the candle over.
After knowing that Chengchun had already fallen asleep, Su Xubai continued to copy the family rules in front of him word by word. Songlan was by the side, and Su Xubai copied the family rules for two hundred times word by word for word. She just knelt down and her back was straight.
It was not until the next morning that Su Xubai handed over the copy of the house rules to Jianglan: "Take it to my mother. I have copied the house rules I promised to copy. I will not agree to the other things, so I will not let her not think about it anymore."
While taking over the family rules, Xianglan went to Fusu Xubai. He knelt all night, his knees were swollen, and when he got up, he became a little difficult: "Fifth Master, why are you doing this!"
