The Imperial Concubine Chef - C106
Su Xinyu returned home. Her expression was somewhat grave. Seeing her daughter like this, Su Wenlan naturally wanted to know the truth. When she mentioned Manager Li’s attitude, Su Wenlan felt that something was amiss. But it had nothing to do with her after all. “It can be said that it’s none of my business, and my daughter said that she was going to give me ten catties of red date cake as a congratulatory gift, so it’s not that big of a deal.” We can’t talk about it here. Agarwood, Hu Zi, no matter how many people talk about the Li Family’s Fourth Young Master and Fourth Young Madam in the future, don’t talk back. ”
Su Mei and Hu Ya hurriedly nodded. Madame, rest assured. We don’t like to say these words to begin with. ”
Su Xinyu prepared the raw materials for the red date cake overnight. The dough had been fermented. The next morning before dawn, she got up and steamed 20 catties of red date cake.
Hu Zi hurriedly placed the red date cake into the food box and then placed it into the bamboo basket. Young master, I’ll send it over now. Is there anything else I can do? ”
Su Xinyu waved her hand, “There’s nothing else. Just remember not to ask for money. ”
Unexpectedly. Hu Zi didn’t bring back any silver but carried an unconscious girl back to her home.
With this, the girls of Su Family were completely terrified. Su Wenlan hurriedly checked the girl’s breath. Seeing that his breathing was stable, she relaxed. Hu Zi, what’s going on? ”
Hu Ya sighed: “I’m really unlucky. When I got back, I saw a group of people with sticks going to the front gate of the Lee family. I don’t know what’s going on, but I know not to cause trouble at home. He took a detour. Just then, the woman fainted on the ground under a tree. There was also a white silk on the ground. I was going to call the authorities, but the woman woke up for a moment and begged me not to. It’s not like I can’t just throw him in the alley and leave him there. I had no choice but to carry him back before dawn. ”
Su Wenlan sighed. Although she did not agree with Hu Ya’s actions, she still could not leave him be.
In fact, Su Xinyu didn’t even need to diagnose her to know that she was going to hang herself from the neck. “After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the woman’s pulse, she relaxed.” She was just too frightened. I have a prescription. Hu Zi, go to the medicine store and catch some herbs.
After Hu Zi finished writing her name in her room, Su Xinyu poked her on the forehead. You. Changing roads can also be exchanged for such a big trouble. ”
Hu Ya sighed, and honestly bowed her head and admitted her mistake: “I know that doing so will only bring trouble to my family. “But …”
“We can’t just stand by and watch him die. I heard you say that. What I’m saying now is that you’re too soft-hearted. If they beg you, just answer. What if she isn’t a girl from a good family, or if I don’t know how to cure her? At that time, if she really was a runaway slave or something, then it would be known by others. We don’t have any more days of peace. ”
Hu Ya’s head was burning up just now, so she did not need to say anything to know that she was being too stupid to do such a thing. Young master. I know I was wrong. ”
Su Xinyu wrote down the prescription. and then, she handed it over to Hu Ya. ” If you know you’re wrong, you’ll have to be more careful in the future. I don’t mind if you do good, but do your best. Also, one thing was for him to judge whether she was right or wrong. “Don’t listen to strangers.”
After Hu Ya went to grab the medicine, Su Xinyu returned to Su Mei’s room. The girl that was saved was lying on Su Mei’s bed.
“Young Master, she’s awake!” Just as Su Mei walked to the door, he saw Su Xinyu leading the way. Thus, she hurriedly said.
Su Xinyu quickly took two steps to the side of the bed. Lady, who are you? Where do you live? Why did you commit suicide? ”
When the woman saw that the room was either a woman or a child, she felt relieved. “Now that you have loosened up, tears will flow down your face.” Little girl Wu Zhulian. She lived in a dice alley. The entire city probably knew that the fourth young master of the Li family wanted to marry an unvirtuous and unvirtuous woman, right? That’s me. “In that case, you guys know that it would be better not to save people like me just now.”
Fine. She had just found out about it yesterday, and the person involved was now being carried back to his home. “But Su Xinyu immediately thought of a big problem. But you’re not pregnant. ”
Wu Zhulian’s face became even more pale. I… I was clean with the fourth young master to begin with. I am also a virgin, how would I have children? ”
Su Wenlan sat down and pulled Wu Zhulian’s hand, patting the back of her hand. Don’t be afraid, girl. It would be easier to say what she felt wronged about. “Our small family might not be able to help you with anything, but at least it’s better than not being able to keep it in your heart.”
It was probably because of this “death”, that Wu Zhulian really could not hold it in any longer. Thus, she told them everything that had happened to him.
So it turned out that Wu Zhulian’s family did not have any collusion with the secret schools that set up gambling houses. It’s just that Wu Zhulian’s uncle was a gambler herself. Not only had he lost the entire family business, but he had also lost her own wife and daughter. Wu Zhulian’s father, Xing San, died young. When he was young, he had also been raised by this darn big brother gambler. Thus, Uncle Wu saw him as the benefactor of her brother’s family.
Wu Zhulian’s father was also a filial child. Even if this big brother made it so that they couldn’t eat or drink, there was no possibility of them continuing on with the exam. But he still lives by writing letters to people and copying books, and she feeds the gambler. And her wife and children.
Four years ago, when Wu Zhulian and her mother went out of the city to burn incense in the temple, they were chanced upon by the bastard Liu Dao on this street. The Liu Clan had a gambling house and was considered rich. He also had a good relationship with the constables in the yamen. So he could be counted as the hegemon of Haian City. At that time, Liu Dao was about to go up and take liberties with her. It just so happened that the Fourth Young Master of the Li Family appeared and saved Wu Zhulian. The two of them could be considered a hero saving a beauty at first sight. It just so happened that Wu Zhulian’s father had taught him the Li Family’s knowledge a few days ago. Thus, when Fourth Young Master Li went back to tell his parents that he was going to apply to the Wu family, both external members of the Li family agreed with him.
However, that Liu Dao wouldn’t be easy to deal with. Although his family was rich, they still couldn’t compare to the Li Family. Furthermore, the eldest uncle of the Li family was a capital official. Others might not know about this, but he knew. Thus, he couldn’t afford to offend the Li family. He just wanted to go and torment the Wu Clan. Thus, he had tricked Boss Wu into owing a large amount of gambling debts. How could Boss Wu afford to pay back that amount? He signed the pledge and “sold” Wu Zhulian to Sell Knife Liu.
But Wu Zhulian had already made an engagement with Fourth Young Master Li, and furthermore, Boss Wu was not Wu Zhulian’s father. Even if his parents were alive, he wouldn’t be able to sell them. Old Wu was adamant that he didn’t agree. Even if Boss Wu tried to force him with his life, it was to no avail. But the money was already owed, so he had no choice but to pay it back. In the end, he still let the Li family members know about this matter. He exchanged the gambling debt for Boss Wu.
It was also for this that Wu Zhulian felt that she was letting down the Li Family. She had not met Li Si in private. To say that she had no talent or virtue, and even less so, she didn’t have a good family; she was afraid that she would bring disaster upon the Li family. But the Fourth Young Master only recognized Wu Zhulian. Insisting that the marriage be annulled. Wu Zhulian also genuinely liked Fourth Young Master Li. Since the two of them were in love, naturally, they couldn’t bear to be separated.
Back then, Wu Zhulian was still young, only thirteen years old. In the end, it turned out that Li’s old mother had suddenly passed away. She had to hold on to three years of filial piety, and this would drag him all the way to this year. Originally, these three years had been quite peaceful. Unfortunately, that “scammer” Liu Ben did not forget this. Previously, he wanted to pinch the Wu family so that Wu Zhulian could follow him. However, neither of them succeeded. But this time, Wu Zhulian was going to be married into the Li family. He grabbed Boss Wu in a hurry.
Actually, when the Li Family paid the money back for him, they sent this elder brother away from the Haian City. Let him follow the caravan and run the merchants. There had been people watching him every day for the past few years, so he didn’t gamble. He even earned quite a bit. However, detoxification was something he was afraid of. Scram Liu Youxin used the same trick again, so naturally he was the best suspect. The result was obvious. Boss Wu was in debt again. This time, it was even more exaggerated. He actually said that it was thirty thousand taels of Snowflake Silver.
This silver should not be given by the Li family, but even the Li family should not be able to give it to him. Such a large amount of silver was definitely not due. Besides, Boss Wu was in debt, so it wasn’t up to him. The Li family members had left a trump card in their hands. After sending Boss Wu off, he asked him to split up with Wu Lao Er and even wrote a marriage letter. Therefore, the scheme of “Scram Liu” could not succeed.
He didn’t dare to go into the house to rob people. However, he listened to a henchman’s instigation. To discredit Wu Zhulian. Liu thought this move was pretty good. In any case, he didn’t have a good reputation. Even a concubine doesn’t have to be a virgin. Therefore, this was also the reason why there were those rumors.
The place Wu Zhulian hanged herself today was actually the back of Liu’s parents’ house. Coincidentally, there was a tilted tree at the back of the house, and in Wu Zhulian’s arms, there was a blood letter. She was thinking of dying outside the Liu Clan’s back wall, and of letting this family receive their retribution. Unexpectedly, the white silk did not have a firm defense and only managed to retrieve its life.
Su Wenlan and Su Mei couldn’t help but tear up after hearing it. But Su Xinyu just frowned. She did not doubt Wu Zhulian’s words. Because from the Li family’s attitude towards her, it was obvious that they approved of this young mistress, and that they also felt sorry for her. If she really was an unchaste girl, the Li family would probably not let their fourth young master live on a plain above her head. But the Liu that Wu Zhulian had provoked was not a small fry like them. So today, Hu Ya had really brought back an enormous trouble.
Seeing her daughter frown, Su Wenlan asked: What do you think we should do? If the child went back, he would still suffer. “Why don’t you go to the Li Clan and ask Butler Li to come over?”
Su Xinyu shook her head: “No. Not yet, at least. Lady Wu, let me ask you, where is your family now? Do you know that you will do such a foolish thing? ”
Wu Zhulian sighed: “How would they know? My mother and father should still be at home. My two brothers are still working in the capital and they’re not at home. ”
Su Xinyu frowned slightly: “Then do you know who brought people to the Li Family to cause trouble?”
Wu Zhulian still did not know about this. Thus, she was at a loss. But before she could finish, her eyes widened: “It must be that Liu the Knife Knife!” Besides him, how could there be such a shameless person! It must be him! “
