Chapter 191: Wandering Ghosts
"They found fault first. Since they posted a notice to sever ties with you, why bother to act like an elder?" Mrs. Su watched Su Wan return the gift, and her kind eyes were stained with sorrow: "Wanwan, do you want to draw a line with your grandmother?"
"No." Su Wan didn't know how to explain to Mrs. Su that she was not a descendant of the Su family, so she couldn't take her things.
But her life experience was a secret, and she couldn't tell it for the time being, otherwise it would cause a lot of trouble.
Mrs. Su was a wise person. Seeing Su Wan hesitate, she seemed to be in a dilemma. She tightened her grip on the cane, suspecting that Su Wan knew her life experience and was worried that she was not of the Su family, so she refused to accept her things.
"Wanwan, you don't have to think too much. In my grandmother's heart, you will always be her granddaughter."
Mrs. Su smiled a little lonely and sad.
No one hoped more than she did that Su Wan was her own granddaughter, but as time went by, she was glad that Su Wan was not her own granddaughter. It was too unfortunate for Su Wan to have a biological father like Su Jihong.
"When I promised the Queen Mother to go to the Qi family to ask for marriage, I thought that if there was no Su family, there would be another family. At that time, I was eager to find a marriage for Hong'er, and the Queen Mother promised hereditary succession. I was obsessed and married him into the mansion." Mrs. Su smiled bitterly. She really hoped that Su Jihong could live a good life with Qi Min. It was not until Su Jihong found a servant for Qi Min, and the servant died and was carried away from Qi Min's room that she knew about this and knew that this family would end sooner or later.
For so many years, Mrs. Su has been living in guilt. If she had not gone to ask for marriage, perhaps Qi Min would not have encountered such a thing.
She would not die early, right?
Mrs. Su couldn't bear to tell Su Wan about the following words, and only vaguely said: "You know your life experience, even if you don't recognize your grandmother, I can understand."
Su Wan didn't expect that Qi Min married into the Su family, and there was a hidden story, and the Queen Mother also intervened.
From Mrs. Su's words, it can be confirmed that she knew that she was not Su Jihong's daughter, but she didn't know that she was Ji Xuan's daughter. From her guilt, it is vaguely guessed that there are other hidden stories.
"You don't have to feel guilty. Under the circumstances at that time, the Queen Mother deliberately intervened and would not stop until she achieved her goal."
Although Su Jihong was not a good person, at least Mrs. Su was really good to them.
"I will feel at ease if you accept the things." Mrs. Su's eyes were red and filled with tears, "Wanwan, if you don't want to accept the things, donate them to the temple and build a golden body for the Bodhisattva."
Su Wan felt that this method was appropriate: "We will go to the temple later and donate these things to bless you with good health."
Mrs. Su smiled and said nothing more.
The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain. Su Wan helped Mrs. Su up the mountain and went to the National Temple.
When the young monk heard that Mrs. Su wanted to donate money for incense, he immediately invited her to the dormitory and asked the abbot to receive her in person.
Mrs. Su was filled with sorrow. She felt that this was the last connection between her and Su Wan. Whether she could see him again in the future was unknown.
Her heart sank.
At this time, the abbot came.
Su Wan saw Master Huiren following behind the abbot.
His eyes were very deep, very deep, and dark without any extra light. They were not the compassionate eyes of a monk. They were like a blade that could penetrate the appearance and hit people's souls.
He saw through her.
This look made Su Wan very uncomfortable, just like the way he looked at Huiren when he met her at the Su family. It was as if he saw through her and that this body was filled with a lonely ghost.
He bowed to Su Wan and said, "Donor, I have something to give you. Please follow me." He seemed to think that Su Wan would not go, so he added, "This is something you left here. The time has come. I will return it to its original owner."
The last two words, I don't know if Su Wan was overthinking, Huiren emphasized them very much.
