In the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Wu Mo looked at the silent and frighteningly cold man in front of him, his scalp getting hairy.
"What's going on? Didn't you say you were going to bring Xiu Yi back? Why is this expression on your face?"
"liquor!"
Why do you want to relieve your worries? Du Kang is there, but now he doesn't want to relieve his worries, but wants to drink until he dies, drinking until he never wakes up again.
His voice was extremely deep, cold, and hateful.
She was used to playing with him in the past, but today the waves of chill emanating from his body made Wu Mo shudder. He didn't even dare to persuade him, and was busy asking people to bring out the most expensive royal wine.
A jar of wine was poured down between An Cheng's pocket and his face. A large area was wet on his chest and clothes. Wu Mo was worried, but the violent aura around An Cheng made her dare not approach him. She had seen his crazy appearance before.
, that is, they do not recognize their relatives and do not distinguish between humans and animals, which is very frightening.
Fortunately, now, An Chengshao is only focused on drinking. Although his face is extremely pale, his reason has not yet collapsed.
Wu Mo left the room and asked someone to find out what happened in Baoning Hall. He was worried, fearing that Xu Xiuyi had done something important and An Chengshao would be like this.
About half an hour later, the boy sent to inquire came back and the news he brought shocked Wu Mo from ear to ear.
"You said that the third master of the Su family is back."
The boy replied: "Yes, my servant inquired clearly. The third master of the Su family came back. He hugged the third grandma of the Su family and admitted in public that the child in the third grandma's belly was his."
Wu Mo was stunned in place. Is this why An Chengshao was like this?
However, Wu Mo didn't believe that Xu Xiuyi would betray An Chengshao.
It was dark, but she prepared her men and horses and headed straight for the Su Mansion. There were some things that she had to ask to get to the bottom of things.
＊
The Su family was so happy that the old lady of the Su family never expected that their most precious son would come back from the dead, and the flesh and blood in Xu Xiuyi's belly was also confirmed to be Su Jinyuan's child. The old lady of the Su family had a direct grandson, so her attitude towards Xu Xiuyi changed eighteen times.
bend.
"Look at you child, you didn't say anything. My mother almost misunderstood you. My precious grandson, grandma didn't mean it. Xiu Yi, it's been really hard for you these days. It's okay to suffer such grievances."
Mom, regardless of the inconvenience, she should have thought that a good boy like you could do such a terrible thing. Meng Qi, hurry up and make a cup of Thirteen Taibao for the third grandma, the child in her belly will also be frightened."
The old lady of the Su family held Xu Xiuyi's hand and asked her, scolding and apologizing. Su Jinyuan originally wanted to find out the murderer behind his murder before going home, but how could he tolerate Xu Xiuyi suffering such grievances alone, so,
He is back.
Stepping into the Su Mansion openly again, he felt as if he was in a dream. The old mother in front of him was obviously much older, with gray hair on the temples, which made him feel sorry for her.
Thinking back on how prosperous the Su family was back then, but now it is only supported by Xu Xiuyi's weak shoulders. Su Jinyi is not a toy. For the sake of power, status and wealth, regardless of blood relatives, he wants to force Xu Xiuyi into a desperate situation or even kill him.
Could Su Jinyuan not know that the reason why the group of Taoist defenders were able to gather together was because Su Jinyi secretly spent money, and that the leaders who made trouble and made the loudest noises were all sent by Su Jinyi.
Seeing that Xu Xiuyi had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, he blamed himself a lot. He should have stood up long ago, so that she would not have to bear such slander, slander and unpleasant insults alone.
Holding Xu Xiuyi's other hand, she said to Mrs. Su: "Don't blame Xiu Yi, it's the child. The child's name was not appropriate that day. When I returned to Beijing this time, I wanted to remain anonymous and lurk in the dark to find out who was behind the murder of the child."
, I was the one who prevented Xiu Yi from getting out."
Hearing this, the old lady of the Su family was full of horror: "Then now that your identity has been exposed, will the thief... No, no, Jinye, you go to the Haw Leopard Escort Agency, no matter how much money you spend, you have to invite their chief executive.
The escort is here to protect Jinyuan."
"Yes, mother."
When Su Jinyuan came back, Su Jinye, who was very happy from the bottom of his heart, naturally obliged. After receiving the order, he went to do the work, but he came back halfway, looking slightly shocked.
"The fifth prince is here."
Xu Xiuyi's hand trembled obviously. Su Jinyuan looked at Xu Xiuyi and said, "Do you know that I'm back?"
"This kind of news spreads quickly, so hurry up and greet it." The old lady of the Su family stood up. Su Yalan and Lu Yu'er rushed to help, but the old lady blocked the two people and put her hand on Su Jinyuan's: "Son
Hey, let’s go.”
Su Yalan felt a slight pain in her heart. Originally, there was only one Su Jinyu, and she was no longer in the old lady's eyes. Now that Su Jinyuan is back, the old lady may have already forgotten her.
Lu Yu'er was very nervous and didn't feel much, but he was very different from Su Yalan and didn't want to interact too much. Lu Yu'er didn't like Su Yalan from the bottom of his heart and felt that she was an unlucky person, so he came up and held Xu Xiuyi's arm.
"Xiu Yi, seeing how thin you are, I haven't dared to visit you these days. Baoning Hall is besieged and not even a fly can fly in. Are you okay, and is the child okay?"
It was nothing more than polite words. Xu Xiuyi just nodded slightly and answered. Shaoqing, there was a cold look between her eyebrows. She knew what Wu Mo was talking about when he came to the door in the middle of the night.
Sure enough, after everyone paid their respects, Wu Mo asked Xu Xiuyi by name to talk to him alone.
Although the Su family found it strange, because Wu Mo was a Duanxiu man and there was some personal relationship between Xu Xiuyi and Wu Mo, they made room for the two of them.
In the lobby of the Su family, Wu Mo looked at Xu Xiuyi coldly, and for a long time, he sighed deeply: "Xiu Yi, why don't you refute?"
"What's the rebuttal?"
"You know best who the child in your belly belongs to. Do you really want me to explain it clearly?"
Xu Xiuyi's mind showed the face of An Chengshao standing in the crowd with a wait-and-see attitude, and chuckled: "If he is not from Jinyuan, would he dare to stand up and testify? Do you think Jinyuan is the kind of person who accepts cuckolding from others?
?"
Wu Mo was startled.
"So, you and Su Jinyuan."
"It's a good thing. Go back and tell Mr. An Cheng that that day he asked me who the person hugging me in the alley was, Jin Yuan. Then tell him why I didn't let him climb over the wall again in the middle of the night because I was afraid of being bumped into by him.
Jin Yuan and I are together."
"You!" Wu Mo was said to have lost his mind for a moment. He only felt that it was not worth it for An Chengshao. He pointed at Xu Xiuyi's nose angrily, "You are a frivolous person."
"Have you finished scolding me, Your Majesty? If Your Majesty came to me in the middle of the night just to scold me, then just scold me, as long as you scold me enough. I am sorry for Young Master An Cheng."
"Thanks to Master Cheng, who struggled with pain for several days, he was finally willing to give up everything for you and take you far away. This is how you repay him. Good, good. Fortunately, he was not stupid, otherwise he would have given up everything to raise a child for someone else." Xu Xiuyi
, I despise you."
Xu Xiuyi's heart was bleeding. She also cherished her friendship with Wu Mo, but now it seemed that it was about to be completely broken off.
Since it is broken, then simply break it off.
Her attitude was so indifferent, and she said: "I don't need the Fifth Prince to think highly of you. The Fifth Prince had better not tell the outside world about the matter between An Chengshao and me, otherwise I will retaliate in kind, if you don't hesitate to destroy my brother."
"You...are you threatening me?"
"It's not a threat, it's just that the prince understands in his heart that we both have secrets, so we simply lock the secrets away from each other. I want to live a good life with Jin Yuan. From now on, we will never touch the river. I will work with you and An Chengshao again.
No relationship, how about it?"
"Xu Xiuyi, I didn't expect you to be so heartless. Don't worry, even for Young Master Cheng, I won't tell anyone about your unbearable past. You disgust me. You don't deserve to have Young Master Cheng at all."
"snort!"
Xu Xiuyi held on to the last bit of indifference.
Wu Mo was so angry that he called her a "bitch" and walked away.
As soon as Wu Mo left, Xu Xiuyi fell down on the chair, feeling pain as if her limbs were being torn apart.
Wu Mo said that An Chengshao was willing to give up everything to take her away, but Wu Mo also said that An Chengshao had been in pain for many days.
If you really love someone, you will fly to the flame like a moth and never look back. Even if you know it will burn to ashes, you will not hesitate at all.
Qin Yan said that Mr. An Cheng loves his business more than he loves you.
Although there may be a moment when emotion defeats reason, but one day when reason returns and defeats emotion, she will become a drag on him, a burden to him, a cancer that causes his depression, and an unbearable past that he regrets and dislikes.
.
Fortunately, he didn't take that step earlier than Su Jinyuan, or maybe even if she was at the critical moment of life and death, he would still be struggling with pain and waiting.
For An Chengshao, the depth of my affection will be the depth of my hurt.
Why did Wu Mo question her? She sneered.
Hehehe, hehehehe.
Smiling, there was blood in his throat, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. His vision slowly became blurry. About An Chengshao, about those beautiful pasts, and about those stories that he once thought he loved deeply, they were all merged into the darkness.
middle.
＊
"Xiu Yi, are you feeling better?"
When she woke up again, there was a gentle voice in her ears. Mrs. Su Li sat beside the bed and gently tucked her into bed. It was already bright outside, but she didn't know what time it was.
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine."
Xu Xiuyi had a dream, a long dream. In the dream, there was a man named An Chengshao. He was handsome and loving and tender to her. But when she woke up, the whole dream was shattered, and even the smallest details could not be found.
She thought that maybe everything about An Chengshao was really just a dream.
No matter how deep the wound is, it can't withstand the erosion of time. She is fine, she is fine now, and she will be fine in the future.
Su Li stood up and brought her the porridge: "Keep it warm. I'm afraid you might wake up at any time. Take a bite quickly. The medicinal porridge your elder brother prepared for you is good for you and the child. It's been really frustrating these days."
You have been wronged."
Xu Xiuyi sat up and took two sips, but felt a fishy-sweet taste in her throat and wanted to vomit blood.
Mrs. Su Li quickly took the spittoon and patted her back.
"Your eldest brother said that you have been depressed for the past few days and have difficulty moving your breath. It was released all at once, so you coughed up blood. I'll get you some water. If you say something, I'll ask Jin Yu to get you the medicine."
"Where's Su—Jin Yuan?"
"Why do you call your husband so angry? Jin Yuan went to Baoning Hall in the morning. When Jin Yuan came back, he also called back all the old guys from Baoning Hall. Originally, Jin Yuan was in charge of Baoning Hall.
Su Jinyi was able to be arrogant after Jin Yuan left, now look at how arrogant he is."
"What about my guys?"
"Jin Yuan knows that they have always been there to protect you during your difficult times and have not dismissed any of them. Our Su family can still afford to support some idle people."
Xu Xiuyi felt relieved and felt grateful to Su Jinyuan.
Looking at the sky outside, she asked: "Sister-in-law, what time is it?"
"It's just after noon. You lie down and I'll ask Jinyu to get the medicine. - Jinyu, Jinyu!"
After calling a few words, Jin Yu hurried in. Seeing that Xu Xiuyi had woken up, she cried with joy: "Grandma, you're awake."
Mrs. Su Li patted her: "Why are you crying? You are a good person. Go get the medicine."
"Eh!"
Jin Yu went out, and Mrs. Su Li brought the medicinal porridge over again, but Xu Xiuyi shook her head: "If you can't eat it, sister-in-law, please leave it for now. I'll drink the medicine and eat it later."
Mrs. Su Li smiled gently, sat down, took off the bracelet from her hand, and put it into Xu Xiuyi's hand: "This bracelet was consecrated at Qianfo Temple. Please keep it safe. I've been carrying it for many years. Now it's a meeting gift and is given in advance."
To my little nephew."
Xu Xiuyi wanted to smile, but her heart was too bitter, so she reluctantly withdrew a smile.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"The Fourth Brother came to see you."
When Mrs. Su Li said this, she lowered her voice and leaned into Xu Xiuyi's ear mysteriously: "The fourth child vomited this morning. Come quickly to your elder brother to check her pulse and ask if it is a happy pulse. It seems like
, and the fourth child have become a thing, I really don’t know how the fourth child can chew on that face. The eighth aunt has really screwed up our Su family. The birth date written in the horoscope is that the birth date is Gengchen year, and the eighth aunt is so good at making jokes.
Mother fooled her into thinking that this person born in the year of Gengchen was now eighteen years old. Mother could never have imagined that he was eighteen years old in the year of Gengchen. He happened to be from the Hubu family, and our Su family had a meal in vain.
Dumb and dumb."
Xu Xiuyi knew exactly how she got through this dumb loss. She was accompanied by three large gold ingots and a jade bracelet.
Asking Su Li to distract her attention to Su Jinyu, her mood was no longer so depressed and painful.
She asked: "Is Lu Yu'er pregnant?"
"How old is she? What can she be pregnant with? Your eldest brother couldn't tell clearly after feeling her pulse. He told me in private that this Lu Yu'er probably eats cold food regularly and doesn't know how to control herself during the moonflower period, which ruined her health.
Getting pregnant is more difficult than reaching heaven."
"It's better not to say this. Even if you want to say it, don't ask your eldest brother to say it. Let your eldest brother tell your mother. That Miss Lu has a bad temper and is arrogant. She is afraid of taking revenge on my eldest brother."
Mrs. Su Li hurriedly wrote it down and said: "Well, I'll tell your elder brother later, by the way, Girl Qing has learned a new song and wants to play it for you. I'll call her over. It's quite a cheerful song. You
It sounds like the illness can be cured quickly."
Su Lishi always made Su Qingying behave in front of Xu Xiuyi to please Xu Xiuyi at the right time. She probably meant that Su Qingying had to rely on Xu Xiuyi if she wanted to have a bright future.
Xu Xiuyi liked Su Qingying from the bottom of her heart. Although she was a bit rigid and overly disciplined, people were rarely smart and could understand everything with just a few clicks.
After half a cup of tea, Su Qingying and the maid came over with the guzheng in their arms and sat down to play Xu Xiuyi a piece of music. It was indeed refreshing and refreshing for the listeners, but it was just a heartache that could not be cured so easily.
She will wait until the cracked heart slowly scabs over, just like An Chengshao, she will slowly forget it.
＊
Baoning Hall, Su Jinyuan returned, and many old friends came back one after another, all of their own initiative.
After these old guys were sent away by Xu Xiuyi that day, many of them actually regretted it, not to mention hearing the guys who had surrendered and stayed behind talking about how good their treatment was now, and they even wanted to come back but couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Now that Su Jinyuan is back, he has opened a way for everyone to return to Baoning Hall again.
When Su Jinyuan came back, he didn't touch Xu Xiuyi's staff, but just arranged a little order.
For example, Ah Fu, who was promoted by Xu Xiuyi, was still sent back to work as a laborer.
The accounting clerk was also replaced by the old clerk, and Xu Xiuyi's accounting clerk was second to him.
A few others were also transferred. The rest, Guan Dahu and others, had nothing to do, so Su Jinyuan halved their monthly salary and continued to support them.
It seems that nothing has changed, but in fact everything has changed drastically.
Some people are proud, some are sad, and the most sad among them is Su Jinye.
As the eldest son, Su Jinyuan never paid him any attention in the past. Now that he returned to Baoning Hall, he still did not take Su Jinye into his eyes. He directly asked Su Jinye to go home and take care of the family.
To put it mildly, they are two brothers. One takes care of the outside world and the other takes care of the inside. They complement each other and take good care of the Su family.
But Su Jinye knew in his heart that Su Jinyuan wanted to destroy all the foundation he had built with great difficulty in Baoning Hall.
He felt aggrieved, but he was cowardly and did not dare to speak.
He came back from Baoning Hall early and stayed in the room without saying a word.
When Su Qingying came back from Xu Xiuyi's place, she saw her father sitting in the room feeling depressed and depressed, so she stepped forward and said, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Su Jinye was full of grievances. Thinking of the years when he was not welcomed as the eldest son in Su Mansion, his eyes became wet. He hugged Su Qingying's head and twitched his nose.
"Daddy, are you crying?"
"Qing'er, my father is incompetent. He has no great ambitions. He just wants to be a doctor in an upright manner. He has studied with your grandfather for many years. He works hard and thinks that his medical skills are not bad. But - but father should not be a bastard.
You are also a concubine, which makes dad feel sad."
Although Su Qingying is young, she is very smart and she probably understood what she said.
"Is it because Third Uncle doesn't ask Daddy to sit in court?"
Su Jinye didn't say anything, but hot tears fell into Su Qingying's neck. Su Qingying's nose felt sour, and she patted Su Jinye like an adult: "Daddy, don't cry. Daddy, if you cry, Qing'er will feel uncomfortable too."
"Okay, daddy, don't cry, don't cry."
Su Jinye quickly held back his tears. Su Qingying broke away from his arms, looked at his red eyes and depressed expression, turned around and ran out: "I'm going to find my third aunt."
"Qing'er, Qing'er, come back."
Su Jinye hurriedly chased after her, but Su Qingying ran so fast that he suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell down.
Su Qingying entered Xu Xiuyi's room. Jin Yu was wiping Xu Xiuyi's hands. She was surprised to see her stumble in with tears of grievance on her face.
"Where have you been wronged, our Miss Qing?"
"Third aunt!"
Su Qingying's mouth dropped, and her tears fell down, like short-threaded pearls, and they fell into Xu Xiuyi's arms.
Fortunately, she was small, otherwise this attack would have saved her a lot of trouble.
"Miss Qing, you are going to break grandma's belly."
"It's okay, I didn't touch my stomach. Jin Yu, you go out first and close the door."
Although Su Qingying followed her parents' cowardly temperament, she did not shed tears easily. Seeing that she was crying like this, she must be feeling extremely wronged and sad.
Jin Yu went out, Xu Xiuyi held Su Qingying's face and wiped her tears. Su Qingying knelt down with choked sobs: "Third aunt, third uncle doesn't want my father to sit in the hall. My father is very sad. He is crying alone. I am also very sad."
"What?"
Xu Xiuyi frowned, knowing that when Su Jinyuan came back, there would definitely be personnel transfers. Su Li said that the old man was not fired even though he was there. Xu Xiuyi felt relieved, thinking that transfers were transfers, and at least Baoning Hall could still take care of those poor people.
Unexpectedly, Su Jinyuan didn't fire anyone and coaxed Su Jinye away.
How could she be so happy in her heart? Although Su Jinye was weak, he had a strong self-esteem. I'm afraid he was hiding alone right now, not to mention how sad he was.
Not to mention Su Qingying, Xu Xiuyi felt sorry for Su Jinye.
"Girl Qing, don't cry. You go back first and guard your father. With you by your side, your father will feel better. I'll go to Baoning Hall."
Su Qingying nodded, got up and ran back.
As soon as Su Qingying left, Xu Xiuyi ignored Jin Yu's obstruction and ordered the sedan to be prepared and went to Baoning Hall.
The sedan arrived at Baoning Hall, where the waiters were performing their duties. However, those who had been trained by Xu Xiuyi didn't know what kind of jobs they were given. There were only a few faces. Only Ah Fu was being trained by his master, running around to grab medicine. He looked very strange.
He was in a panic. When he saw Xu Xiuyi, his face turned red. He didn't dare to look at her and continued to listen to the training.
The most embarrassing thing for a person is to be scolded in front of the person you like.
Xu Xiuyi's eyebrows tightened. Ah Fu had been practicing at the counter for many months and had already developed the skills to be a master. What right did the old master who betrayed her and Baoning Tang have to make irresponsible remarks to Ah Fu?
"Afu, I asked you to be my master. That's how you become my master. Any cat or dog can train you?"
It was called scolding Ah Fu, but in reality it was to show Ah Fu's face and make the so-called master blush.
Ah Fu felt extremely aggrieved. If he had followed his temper, he would have left a long time ago. After a few months of experience, he could easily find a job as a young master in a medical clinic. Why bother being so cowardly here? Most of this cowardice is still there.
on purpose.
But for Xu Xiuyi, he endured it.
Now that Xu Xiuyi's heart is towards him, he is even more willing to endure it.
"Third Grandma, I am no longer a master."
"Who dares to demote you?"
"Xiu Yi, it's me." Su Jinyuan came out of the inner hall and looked at her with a troubled expression. Xu Xiuyi looked at Su Jinyuan coldly, "You are afraid that I will seize power, so you want to replace all my people, right? That's good.
, this is the key to the house, I will give it back to you, and there is only one requirement, my original buddy, you can't move any of them, you can't demote any of them, and you can't give me a penny less. These people, your so-called old guys, do you know?
When you were away, the Su family was in trouble, and Su Jinyi made things difficult for me, what did they do?"
After saying this, some people's faces turned red and some people's blood boiled.
Su Jinyuan looked even more embarrassed: "Xiu Yi, if we have anything to say, can we talk about it in the house?"
"You think I'm rubbing your face, Su Jinyuan, I'll put this here today. When Baoning Hall is about to close down, with internal and external troubles, I will also abandon those who abandon me, and I will never abandon those who stay to help me.
, Afu, ask Brother Guan and others to pack up. I will open a medical clinic in East Street in Xu Xiuyi's private name. You all still perform your duties and you will be given a lot of monthly salary. I, Xu Xiuyi, can't even eat a mouthful of food.
I’m missing half a penny from you.”
Seeing that Xu Xiuyi was angry, Su Jinyuan came over to comfort him. He felt sorry for Xu Xiuyi and the child. He knew that he had gone too far today. He would not have recalled those old guys if it weren't for the sake of kindness. He had heard that
How did they betray Baoningtang in the most difficult time and bully Xu Xiuyi in the most difficult time?
"Okay, it's all up to you. Everyone, I won't move. Everyone, listen carefully. Everyone returns to their original positions. As for those who came back, since they left at the beginning, I, Baoning Hall, am willing to keep you, so you can
Be practical and start from the very beginning. If you feel aggrieved and want to leave, I, Baoning Hall, will never leave you."
He was undoubtedly obedient to Xu Xiuyi.
Xu Xiuyi's depression subsided a little. Looking at everyone's excited faces, she smiled happily and turned to look at Su Jinyuan: "And eldest brother, you don't know how much my eldest brother and sister-in-law helped me when I was in the most difficult time of the Su family. If I didn't have my eldest sister-in-law's natal family, what if
There is no big brother who has worked so hard..."
"I know that, but you are pregnant and someone at home needs to watch over you."
"I'm not a three-year-old child. Just give me a word. Brother, do you want to use it or not?"
"Use, use, it's all up to you. You look so bad, aren't you making me feel bad? Don't be angry. From now on, Baoning Hall will employ people according to your liking. I won't interfere anymore, but there are some things." He
He lowered his voice, leaned into Xu Xiuyi's ear, and said almost flatteringly, "I must give your husband some face, good wife."
Xu Xiuyi had goosebumps on her skin. She didn't expect that cleaning Su Jinyuan would make her act coquettish, but his act of coquettishness was not objectionable. Thinking about it, Xu Xiuyi really rubbed Su Jinyuan's face too much today.
She softened her tone, and in order to calm Su Jinyuan's face, she deliberately helped Su Jinyuan tidy up his clothes and nodded meekly.
She probably didn't know that outside Baoning Hall, in a dark corner, there was a man who saw this intimate scene. The iron fist on his side was almost crushed, and his knuckles were all blue and white.
Wu Mo sent a message and wanted to wake him up angrily, but he didn't believe it at all. He didn't believe that Xu Xiuyi had reconciled with Su Jinyuan, and he didn't believe that the child in Xu Xiuyi's belly was Su Jinyuan's. But now, how could he not believe it?
Such intimacy, in front of everyone, was something he had never experienced before in his dreams.
This woman is cruel enough.
——Digression——
It will continue tomorrow. Please give me a gold medal by leaving a message. Just don’t scold me. Is it necessary for the plot? Haha.
