Chapter 44: The Flower in the Mirror and the Moon on the Water
Wei's wife has gone mad!
Su Ying's heart skipped a beat, and the teacup in her hand almost spilled over. At this moment, Su Ying didn't know how to react, this matter was really beyond her expectation!
How could Wei Yiniang have the audacity and courage to do such a thing!
Su Ying was stunned, lowering her head without reacting. Bai Zhi was anxious in her heart and hurriedly added another sentence: "Fortunately, the girls reacted quickly and stopped Wei Niang in time, but Wei Niang still bumped her forehead and fainted."
。”
Su Ying reacted, saying loudly: "Quickly go and invite the doctor to come!" After finishing, she furrowed her brow, stood up slowly from the bed, and for a moment, actually forgot about Fu Yeyang. Lu Hui stepped forward, holding Su Ying's arm, and reminded in a low voice: "The South Wing is in chaos at this time, it's better for Master and Madam to rest first, let me go and investigate the situation."
This remark suddenly reminded Su Ying and Fu Yeyang, Su Ying's face stiffened and didn't look good, looking at Fu Yeyang with a difficult-to-hide bitter and embarrassed expression. Wei Niang had indeed pushed Su Ying, the mistress of the house, to the forefront of the storm.
Su Ying really hated to strangle Wei Yiniang to death immediately, or shake Fu Ye Yang's shoulder in front of her and scold him without saying a word. Who wants to be the legitimate wife? Can't we just stop playing along?
Su Ying's mind was racing with thoughts, turning quickly. She soon thought of the worst-case scenario and analyzed the unfavorable situations that the current situation would bring her, how to effectively resolve them, who was behind the scenes pushing the waves, and how to retreat wholeheartedly, even taking advantage of the opportunity to thoroughly defeat Wei Niang...
Just now, Su Ying quickly covered up her momentary loss of composure. At this moment, she hoped that Fu Yiyang would say something, after all it was better than his silence. But what made Su Ying disappointed was that from beginning to end, Fu Yiyang remained silent, and he even looked at Su Ying deeply before leaving the house.
The warmth that once filled the house has dissipated, like a mirror flower in the water, it can't withstand external shocks. A stone thrown in can make the seemingly beautiful picture ripple and shatter.
Su Ying was one step slower than Fu Yeyang. A faint smile played on her lips, wasn't this more interesting? Something that came too easily wouldn't be cherished.
However, Fu Yiyang did not go to the South Wing as Su Ying thought, but instead strode out of the Weihua Gate, seemingly heading for the outer study in the front yard.
Another unexpected turn of events. For some reason, Su Ying didn't feel particularly relieved, and her calmness was beyond her own understanding. Standing at the entrance of Nan Yuan, she watched as Fu Ye's back disappeared from view, then turned to meet Lu Xi's worried gaze. Su Ying narrowed her eyes: "Go investigate what happened before. Especially after Master left Nan Yuan."
The south wing was in a mess. Before they even reached Wei's house, they heard the loud wailing of Mei Li, the senior maid who served Wei. Su Ying pursed her lips and gave a signal to Gui, who stepped forward and pulled Mei Li away, scolding: "What's the point of all this crying? Are you trying to attract everyone else and make a laughing stock of your mistress? You young maids don't understand, and as the senior maid, you're not being sensible either. What made you suddenly think of running away?"
Old woman Gu said something a bit out of line, but she was Su Ying's nanny and to some extent represented Su Ying. Jasmine thudded to the ground and kowtowed to Su Ying: "Please, madam, save our aunt, I know that our aunt has offended you many times before, please spare her for the sake of serving master for so long, for the sake of big miss
"Save our aunt!"
"What nonsense are you spouting, you wicked servant!" Hearing the threat in Mo Li's words, Gui's face turned iron-gray as she hastily scolded Mo Li.
"Guī yǎo yǎo!" Su Yǐng sternly stopped Guī yǎo yǎo from continuing, Guī yǎo yǎo resentfully glared at Mò Lì and retreated to the back.
Su Ying's eyebrows suddenly turned. Jasmine was touched by the sharp light she cast, and her heart skipped a beat, stuttering and unable to speak.
Su Ying's expression was tinged with resentment and regret as she said, "Do you, my aunts, have any grievances against the Hou Mansion, against Master, or against me, the mistress of the house? Just as Master left the South Wing, you, my aunts, did this to yourselves. If word gets out, how will others view such matters? The doctor is on his way; for now, I permit you to care for your aunt in front of her."
Listening to Su Ying's gentle words, Jasmine only felt a chill all over her body, a cold air rising from the base of her spine, and her voice trembled as she spoke, "Slave... remembered."
Looking at the maids who were still in shock, Su Ying rarely spoke sternly: "Today's matter, not a single word is allowed to be leaked out. Whoever can't control their mouth, tell me now and I'll have someone bring over a bottle of dumb medicine to feed you immediately. If I hear even a hint of rumors or gossip later on, I won't ask who spread it, just you try asking."
"This house doesn't lack servants who fawn on people."
Everyone present thought Su Ying's words were just a joke, and they all knelt down with weak legs, saying they didn't dare.
Su Ying nodded with her eyes closed: "In that case, just take care of your own mouth and go do what you need to do."
The doctor came to take the pulse of Wei Niang, who was lying in bed. The result was not as expected by Su Ying. This powerful Wei Niang only had a slightly red and swollen forehead, without even breaking the skin, let alone disfiguring herself.
All bark and no bite.
Su Ying sat in the chair in Wei's mother's room, all the maids were silent as cicadas in winter, not even daring to breathe loudly. Especially Mei Li, who had cried like she was mourning her own death earlier, knelt on the ground with big drops of cold sweat dripping from her forehead.
。
Lü Huai came in and whispered a few words to Su Ying. Su Ying's expression was half clear and half cloudy, rubbing the bangle on her wrist: "Hehe, if it weren't for that silly girl Mo Li crying so pitifully, I'd think Wei Niang is taking a risk by using this opportunity to make things difficult for Master and me."
"Please, milady, be just! The concubine's heart is filled with thoughts of the master, and she cries every day, hoping to catch a glimpse of him again. She doesn't ask for his favor, only to stay by his side. But the master has been cold towards her, and she's in so much pain that it's almost unbearable. It's all my fault, I was blinded by my loyalty to the concubine and exaggerated her injuries on purpose. I'm willing to die for my mistake, but please, milady, don't take your anger out on the concubine! She has nothing to do with this!"
Moli stood up and rushed towards the corner of the red wooden high table, but was quickly pulled back by Lu Hui and Gui's quick hands, and fell limp on the carpet.
Su Yingyu glanced at Wei Niang, who was still unconscious on the couch, and found that her eyeballs were rolling around, but she didn't wake up. She couldn't help but sneer in her heart. It's really worthy of being a master and servant, even the way they seek death is so similar!
If I were to die for this cause and it didn't succeed, wouldn't that be too inhumane?
"We have always been lenient with our servants, but there is no precedent for driving them to death. I think you are loyal, so I will allow you to serve your aunt until she recovers, and then we will punish you accordingly. You should be careful." Su Ying's words were almost identical to what Fu Yeyang had said earlier in anger, and the "you" naturally did not refer to the limp Jasmine on the ground. After speaking, Su Ying noticed that Wei's aunt, who was supposed to be unconscious, suddenly moved her eyes, and Su Ying raised an eyebrow. As she was about to leave, she suddenly spoke up again: "There must be someone in charge of this courtyard, so Lu Hui, you stay here for now."
Lu Xiang has always been clever, and Su Ying also felt at ease leaving her in the South Wing.
She also said: "Can someone go and tell Master about Madame Wei's condition? He is very worried."
To be honest, Su Ying couldn't quite grasp Fu Yeyang's attitude. If Wei Niang had pulled off such a move and it got out, others wouldn't say anything about Fu Yeyang; they would just blame everything on her. Su Ying could already imagine what kind of expression Fu Mu would have when saying that this wife of hers was so cruel as to drive the concubine to seek death, wasn't she jealous? With Fu Mu's way of thinking, she would definitely use this opportunity to take over the management of the household, send someone to accompany Fu Yeyang in his self-reflection in the small Buddhist temple, or even use this chance to get rid of this jealous wife.
Why did Fu Yiyang, this scumbag, and Wei Niang, this dead little capable person, do it? She had to work hard to clean up the mess behind them.
!
Besides, don't think she doesn't know who's behind all this?
Su Ying sneered a few times, since you want to play, let's play big.
Su Ying sat on the couch for a while, and Gui Yatou came in with a nervous face. Su Ying asked: "What did Master say?"
Madam Gui also hesitated and stuttered: "The master said to let you handle it, madam."
"Hmph," Su Ying snorted with laughter and muttered to herself, "The old master really trusts me."
Su Ying was not feeling well in her heart, but this inexplicable emotion was immediately suppressed by her, and she turned around to call Zi Su.
Mrs. Chen originally wanted to take advantage of Mrs. Fu's illness to keep Fu Xueyang in her own house, but unexpectedly, Fu Xueyang went directly to Hupo's courtyard after returning from the upper house, and even the maid sent by Mrs. Chen to find Fu Xueyang was driven back, which made Mrs. Chen lose face.
Mrs. Chen was furious and smashed her favorite golden five-color lotus patterned large covered bowl, her face twisted in anger, "That bastard Xiang Ya!"
Her maid Chen Zhong hastily came in, and Mrs. Chen scolded her: "What's the hurry to give birth? Have you eaten all your manners into a dog's belly?"
"Old Chen's wife patted her chest and said hastily: 'This is more deadly than childbirth!'"
Madam Chen suppressed her anger and asked in a bad temper: "What's going on? If you can't say something sensible, see how I'll deal with you!"
Chen Zhong's family rushed to the front of Mrs. Chen and said a sentence, Mrs. Chen also followed by stupid, face turned white, swallowed saliva: "Quickly... tell me clearly, what is going on?"
