Chapter 255 Excitement
Su Lan died, something the Su family could never have foreseen.
In just half a day, Madam Su suffered several blows. First, the truth about her father's death; then, the passing of her most trusted older sister; and finally, the suicide of her wet nurse.
Everything seemed to have piled up at once, and Su's head was buzzing for a long time, unable to process it all.
The old woman also passed away. That kind and loving old woman who doted on the two sisters is gone too.
"Heh, they're all gone, all gone. In this world, I'm all alone." Madam Su's thoughts were a little chaotic. She seemed to have returned to the day her father had just passed away.
That day, Su Lan knelt beside the coffin, crying uncontrollably until she fainted, still trembling.
At the time, Su thought Su Lan was grieving over her father's sudden death.
Looking back now, Su Lan was afraid. First, she was afraid that the master would tell Su Shi and the wet nurse the real reason for Su's father's death. Second, she was afraid that she would suffer retribution.
No wonder. No wonder that during that period, whenever Madam Su and her wet nurse wanted to visit Old Man Su after returning home, Su Lan would stop them.
It turned out that Su Lan was hungry and thirsty for her father, and was afraid that Su Shi and the wet nurse would find out.
This is terrifying. What kind of person is Su Lan? How could she bear to let her father die of thirst in his sickbed?
"Su Lan, you unfilial wretched thing, how could you die so young, and so easily? Your retribution hasn't even come yet." After saying these two sentences, Madam Su suddenly stood up and tried to rush out.
However, Su was so traumatized that she fell backward as soon as she stood up.
Fortunately, as soon as Su spoke her first words, Li's father noticed that something was wrong with her and stood behind her.
After helping Madam Su to her feet, Father Li said apologetically to Madam Chu, "Madam Chu, my wife isn't feeling well, so I'll take her back to rest. If you'd like to continue your reminiscing, please do so another day."
After saying that, Father Li picked up Madam Su and carried her out of the house.
Li Xiaonuan also said apologetically to Madam Chu, "Madam, we'll head back now. My mother was rather out of line today, please forgive her."
Madam Chu said to Li Xiaonuan with a displeased look, "Su Xiu is like my own sister. I've seen everything about her. Do you need to say such formalities? Humph, if it weren't for you dragging her down, her health wouldn't be in such a bad state."
After saying that, Madam Chu sat down heavily and ignored Li Xiaonuan.
Li Xiaonuan smiled awkwardly, said "Goodbye," and went after her father.
Madam Chu sulked alone in her room for a while before settling for her tea and leaving the secluded room.
In the side passage outside the secluded room, Chu Feng was waiting there, feeling utterly bored.
Upon seeing her eldest son, Madam Chu did not display any maternal affection; she even frowned and tried to turn back to her courtyard.
"Mother, aren't you happy to see your child?" Chu Feng smiled, revealing his teeth, looking like a very sunny man.
But Madam Chu simply didn't like Chu Feng. Leaving aside his homosexuality, it's common for wealthy families to keep male concubines or male lovers.
However, Chu Feng's actions were extremely ruthless and vicious. Most of the boys and children he couldn't have met with bad ends.
Furthermore, Chu Feng did not hide from her and Master Chu the fact that he had plotted against Chu Lin back then.
What kind of family affection can someone who doesn't even care about their own siblings have?
"Mother, you've been blaming me for all these years just because of a lowly woman's daughter. What am I supposed to do? Maybe I should send that little slut back to that old scoundrel Cao Su. That old scoundrel is currently collecting beauties." Although Chu Feng's smile remained, the chill in his words had frozen Madam Chu from head to toe.
"Speak quickly what you have to say. It's getting dark, your father must be getting anxious at home," Madam Chu said with a cold snort.
"That's more like it." Chu Feng smiled and stepped forward, putting his arm around Madam Chu's shoulder. As he led her outside, he asked, "Mother, isn't that Aunt Li the sister of that bitch Su?"
"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?" Madam Chu did not answer Chu Feng's question.
“Mother, this is a big problem. If that Aunt Li is Su Jianren’s sister, I don’t plan to be polite to her whole family.” Chu Feng said nonchalantly.
"You think you can touch them? At this critical juncture? Don't you even know your own limitations? You're trying to form cliques like everyone else. Don't drag our whole family down with you, or I'll thank you for it." Madam Chu pouted and replied without any politeness.
"Mother, how about I give them two choices? One, they can stand on my side and be loyal to the Empress and the First Prince. Two, we can become enemies. The victor is king, the loser is a bandit," Chu Feng kindly suggested.
"You think you can do this? Don't be ridiculous. Chu Feng, do you really think the current emperor is that muddle-headed? I advise you to wake up, or you'll blame your parents for not warning you when you're about to die," Madam Chu said angrily.
As they spoke, the mother and son arrived at the moon gate. The Chu family's carriage was waiting there. Madam Chu didn't even glance at Chu Feng, but got into the carriage and urged the coachman to leave.
Chu Feng muttered to himself from behind the carriage, "I warned you before. If your sons become successful in the future, don't try to take advantage of them."
As soon as Chu Feng left, Wei Yu jumped out of the shadows.
He also imitated Chu Feng, fanning himself and saying, "Chu Feng, you'll know the meaning of the proverb 'Those who don't listen to the elders will suffer the consequences' in the future."
Over there, Father Li gritted his teeth and carried Madam Su back to Uncle Qi Ji's clinic. He had barely put Madam Su down when she woke up.
After examining her pulse, the doctor said that Su's condition was caused by excessive anger and grief following a severe blow. He added that Su only needed to adjust her mindset and she would be fine.
When Li's father saw that Su was alright, he felt relieved.
After having an apprentice from the clinic help hire a carriage, Li Xiaonuan and the others returned to the villa.
"It's so late. I wonder if Xiaogang will be scared being alone in the villa?" Li Xiaonuan said as soon as she got into the car.
"Oh dear~ How could I forget about Xiaogang? Oh no, I wonder if he's eaten today? That kid, I wonder how anxious he'll be in a moment." Sure enough, as soon as Xiaogang was mentioned, Su Shi was fully revitalized.
Father Li secretly gave Li Xiaonuan a grateful look, which made Li Xiaonuan want to roll her eyes. After all, Su Shi was her mother; wasn't it only right that she do something for Su Shi?
This old man, Li, has almost perfectly imitated Xiaogang's simple-mindedness. The only difference is that Xiaogang is pretending to be stupid, while Li's father is genuinely stupid.
As soon as I stepped into the gate of the villa, Xiao Gang came out from behind the gatepost to greet me.
"We've finally waited for you! Father, Mother, why did you take so long? I was so worried. Did something really happen to Brother Liu Fei?" Xiao Gang rushed forward and hugged Su Shi tightly, asking.
Fearing that Xiao Gang would tire Su Shi out, Li's father quickly pulled him away and scolded, "How old are you? Why are you still holding your mother like this? Your mother isn't feeling well today, so be quiet and don't disturb her. Your brother Liu Fei is fine; he might be back in another half month."
