Chapter 108 Su Wan Is a Lowly Bastard
Su Wan's expression changed. The queen said that Master Huiren would not return to Beijing for a few days. She did not expect to return to Beijing so soon and have already treated Su Jihong.
"Wanwan, Master Huiren has been here for a while." Mrs. Su's face was full of sorrow. Even if she tried to stop him, it would be too late.
Su Wan knew what the old lady meant, but she just felt that something should come, and it would come.
For example, Su Mixue’s heroine halo.
She was demoted and lost her support.
Su Jihong was cured.
Su Mixue had someone to rely on again.
"Just treat him. He is my father. If I don't treat him, I can't expect him to die." Although Su Wan hoped that Su Jihong would die soon, the matter was a foregone conclusion. She didn't want to continue to bring up this topic and ruin her happiness: "Grandma, I didn't think well before, so I didn't take Huai Zhi back with me. Instead, I gave him a bunch of trivial matters to hold him back. After he took care of it, he came to see you. "
"Grandma, I would like to send you my regards, this junior Gu Huaizhi." Gu Huaizhi saluted politely.
Mrs. Su supported Gu Huaizhi and said with a smile on her face: "Good boy, it's good if you have this heart. Harmony between you and your husband is my greatest wish."
Gu Huaizhi made a promise: "If you are willing to entrust Wanwan to me, I will definitely not let her down."
Mrs. Su said several good things in succession, then turned to Su Wan and said, "Go and make Huaizhi a pot of tea."
Su Wan felt like she had a mirror in her heart. The old lady had something to say to Gu Huaizhi alone. She gave him a wish-for-goodness look and turned around and left the room.
Only then did Mrs. Su look at Gu Huaizhi carefully. He had an extraordinary demeanor, not like an ordinary farmer's boy, but like a carefully cultivated child of an aristocratic family.
She looked very satisfied, but her physical condition was not good enough.
"Wanwan has never suffered any hardship since she was born. She has clothes to put on, food to eat, and mouth to open. Her origin determines that her husband's family will be either rich or noble in the future, and she will enjoy all the glory and wealth in her life. I got married to you by accident, and I can't sleep or eat well." . This child told me that you were very kind to her and lived a happy life. I was very happy that the person she married was a good match. "
"It's just that in a family like ours, intrigues are inevitable. She was not loved by her father when she was a child. Now that she has a stepmother, her life is even more difficult."
"Wanwan gets her dowry back. Su Mixue is more or less deposed from the position of crown princess, so she is afraid that Qinglan will hate her. Now that Master Huiren has cured her father, he should help bully her ”
"It's too difficult for you to live a stable life. I'm half buried in the ground, so I can't protect her for long." Mrs. Su's eyes were moist, and her withered hand held Gu Huaizhi's hand tightly, as if to support her: "You study very well. You have talent, and now you are a scholar. The provincial examination will be held soon. You should take the imperial examination well, become an official, and become an official. Your relatives still have some connections in the court. They will protect you. When you become important in the court, these monsters will be gone. I can’t bully you.”
"Son, promise grandma."
Mrs. Su was pleading in her eyes.
Under the expectant eyes of the old lady, Gu Huaizhi solemnly said: "I promise you."
Mrs. Su smiled, her heart settled, and she said with a kind expression: "Are you tired after traveling all the way to the capital? You go back to rest and refresh yourself. You go home early and don't stay in the capital for too long."
Gu Huaizhi: "You should also take a good rest and take good care of yourself."
Mrs. Su nodded. She would try to live for a few more years until they were able to protect themselves.
When Gu Huaizhi came out of the house, he saw Su Wan squatting at the door. He walked over and stretched out his hand to her.
Su Wan was startled, tilted her head to look at his handsome and beautiful face, and put her hand in his palm.
Gu Huaizhi grabbed her with a little force and pulled her up.
"What did grandma say?" Su Wan was curious.
Gu Huaizhi said quietly: "Let me not bully you."
Su Wan laughed out loud, wondering who was bullying whom.
But it was very useful in my heart.
She led Gu Huaizhi to Haitang Residence.
On the way, we met the people from Weirui Pavilion on a narrow road.
Xiujuan sent Master Huiren out of the house respectfully.
Followed by the butler.
Master Huiren led a young novice monk.
Su Wan's eyebrows moved and she wanted to step over.
Master Huiren looked sideways, his compassionate eyes touching Su Wan, his sharp eyes seemed to see through her.
Su Wan stayed where he was.
Master Huiren clasped his hands and left without stopping.
"What's wrong?" Gu Huaizhi asked warmly.
Su Wan shook her head, "I'm fine." Master Huiren's look made her soul tremble, and she felt like she was a lonely soul.
Gu Huaizhi's eyes were fixed on her pale face, not missing what was wrong with Su Wan just now. He stared at Master Huiren's leaving figure, his narrow eyes like a deep pool, dark and opaque.
——
"Madam, the Marquis is awake, he's awake!"
Xiujuan's excited voice cut through Wei Rui Pavilion.
Qinglan wanted to get out of bed and go over to visit Su Jihong, but when her body moved, the pain from the wound made her face look hideous, and she gasped: "Hurry up and carry me over!"
Xiujuan quickly ordered the rough lady to carry Qinglan over.
Upon entering Sansizhai, Qinglan was keenly aware that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
She saw Su Jihong with a slumped expression but suppressing his rage. She saw that he was grabbing the broken arm on his right hand with five fingers of his left hand, and the veins on the back of his hand were popping up. She knew that he could not accept this fact.
Qinglan burst into tears: "My Lord, you have to cheer up. Ever since you fell into a coma, Wanwan has been bullying us mother and daughter. She spread the news that Xue'er was a concubine's daughter, and she took back Xue'er's dowry. The emperor also deposed Xue'er from the title of Crown Princess. Xue'er and I only have you. If anything happens to you, I will die!"
Su Jihong has been lying in bed for a month. His strong body has become thinner, and his chin has stubble. He looks gloomy. Hearing Qinglan's cry, Su Jihong looked up and saw her lying on the door, crying heartbrokenly, with a dull pain in her heart.
"Lan'er, don't cry. Since I survived the catastrophe, even if I am missing some limbs, I can still protect you and your daughter." Su Jihong had Qing Lan put on the bed and wiped away the tears on her cheeks with pity: "I only have Xue'er as my legitimate daughter, and Su Wan is a lowly bastard. If she dares to do this to Xue'er, I will make her regret it!"
"How could this be?" Qing Lan was shocked.
Because of his dignity as a man, Su Jihong did not tell Qing Lan about this matter.
Qi Min did not really want to marry him. She agreed to get married because she saw that he had a beloved. On the wedding night, she proposed that the two of them be a couple in name only. She would help Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion return to the center of power. The only condition was that he signed a divorce letter and parted ways after a year.
Su Jihong hated Qi Min's high-handed attitude, but he knew very well that the Su family was being marginalized in the court, and the Qi family had a large number of troops and was a powerful family that everyone wanted to cling to. He endured the humiliation and reached an agreement with her.
Four or five days after the wedding, Qi Min disappeared for two days and came back. She was poisoned by love and her mind was not clear. When she looked for the antidote, she was shaking all over and the medicine bottle fell to the ground.
Su Jihong saw her in unbearable pain. How could he be so noble and arrogant as usual? He walked over to pick up the medicine bottle and suddenly had a bad idea.
