Chapter 157: Peace for the rest of your life
Chapter 157: Peace for the rest of your life
Xia An stopped, turned around and said angrily: "It is simply unacceptable to rob a woman."
Lin Shuang'er's heart sank.
At the same time, he was secretly delighted and used this news to make the Sun family and the Lin family form a united front.
Su Rutang just wanted her to tell the Sun family.
Only after telling the Sun family can there be follow-up events.
"Let's go." Aunt Lin didn't want to stay any longer.
"You guys are just leaving like this?" Su Rutang glanced at Lin Shuang'er deeply. "Miss Lin dragged our Qingwan to the river to release lotus lanterns for her blind date. If something goes wrong, there must be an explanation."
Aunt Lin said bitterly, "You also slapped our Shuang'er."
"What's a slap in the face? Even a hundred slaps won't quell the anger in my heart." Su Rutang didn't intend to be like his elders who always valued harmony in everything.
Lin Shuang'er looked at Su Qingwan.
"Qing Wan. Don't you believe me? Have you forgotten all the good things I've done for you?"
Su Qingwan recalled how Lin Shuang'er treated her.
I found that they were all just lip service.
When it came down to it, I couldn't find a single thing to do. Even the gift I got for my own birthday was just a greeting card and a cheap notebook.
**It looks pretty good.
The gifts she gave her were exquisite jewelry. Every time Su Qingwan wore beautiful jewelry, Lin Shuang'er would secretly ask for it.
"By being nice to me, you mean the worthless notebook or the greeting card?"
Seeing the alienation in Su Qingwan's eyes, Lin Shuang'er felt something was wrong. She felt like she was soaking in a cold pond. If Su Qingwan and Lu Yifu were together, it would be fine.
But now...
"How can you be so vulgar? Isn't my intention better than gold, silver and jewels?"
"So that's how it is. Then please return those vulgar gold and silver jewelry I gave you, Miss Lin. You asked me to lend you the phoenix hairpin on your head for a few days, but now it's been half a year, why are you returning it?"
As soon as these words came out.
Gan Yun was the first to frown.
Every time Lin Shuang'er gave her something, it was a storybook.
The return gift must be jewelry.
Aunt Lin couldn't listen any longer. "Please tell me your story slowly. I am only Lin Shuang'er's aunt, not her mother. I don't know Lin Shuang'er as well as her mother."
Finished speaking.
She just left.
Lin Shuang'er was blocked there by Su Qingwan and Gan Yun.
Gan Yun was the first to speak up, "Lin Shuang'er. Are you using me?"
"No, Gan Yun. How could I use you? We are good sisters." Lin Shuang'er shook her head, "Gan Yun, don't you like my brother?"
Su Qingwan chuckled:
"You want to be a matchmaker? I remember you said your brother wanted to marry someone of higher rank, and your words implied that you looked down on the Gan family's official position."
Gan Yun spat.
He raised his hand and slapped him, "I'll tear your mouth apart. Who the hell is your brother? How dare he be in Gan Yun's eyes?"
Gan Yun really likes Lin Shuang'er's brother.
Because I gave her a lot of things.
Live frugally.
But now she couldn't admit it and had to insist that Lin Shuang'er was talking nonsense.
"You obviously like my brother."
Su Qingwan fanned the flames, "Although the Gan family does not hold high positions, they have been noble for generations. How can you talk nonsense and want to ruin the reputation of the Gan family? It shows that you are a ruthless person."
Gan Yun looked at Su Qingwan gratefully.
She almost cried.
The Gan family’s century-old reputation cannot be ruined in her hands.
"Lin Shuang'er, you deliberately harmed Su Qingwan before, and now you want to harm me. You are so vicious."
Lin Shuang'er's maid wanted to help, but was stopped by Gan Yun's maid and Su Qingwan's maid. Chunxi also stepped forward to let Gan Yun's maid help his lady.
There was a fuss for a while.
Su Rutang just made some harsh remarks.
Lin Shuang'er left in embarrassment.
Gan Yun bowed deeply, "I'm sorry, although I didn't mean to do it, but I fell into Lin Shuang'er's trap and became the one who hurt you."
"Never mind. Let's just dry our eyes and look at people from now on."
After everyone leaves.
Su Qingwan seemed to want to say something to Su Rutang but stopped herself.
"You want to talk to Jian Shuchi?"
"May I?"
"Go ahead." Su Rutang knew that Jian Shuchi was a gentleman.
"Thank you, aunt."
Su Qingwan went into the house alone.
Jian Shuchi had already come out and stopped a few steps away.
"Sister Qingwan. This little courtyard is a brother I found outside. We have different social statuses but we have similar interests." Jian Shuchi smiled and said, "He works in a small department under the Jinyiwei."
What I meant to tell Su Qingwan was that it was very safe here.
Su Qingwan's eyes were filled with tears.
"How are you?"
"Okay. Have you lost weight?" Jian Shuchi walked forward, but didn't dare to get too close.
He could see that Su Qingwan was very thin.
Her thin shoulders seemed as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
Su Qingwan closed her eyes.
"Brother Shuchi, I'm so tired."
"I have never dared to do anything too much, thinking that I could marry you." Jian Shuchi smiled bitterly, "Everything under the imperial power is scheming. As long as the emperor is worried, our two families will definitely not be able to marry."
He is a member of the Jian family, so how could he let his family fall into the suspicion of the emperor?
Su Qingwan was disappointed.
She finally mustered up the courage and even wanted to leave here with Jian Shuchi.
Su Qingwan turned around without saying a word.
"Sister Qingwan, rest in peace."
"Live the rest of your life in peace."
After Su Qingwan said this, she looked at the moon in the night sky outside and smiled.
The faint moonlight shone on her face.
Jian Shuchi was stunned.
He stood there for a long time.
When he came to his senses, Su Qingwan was nowhere to be seen.
Madam Tian said with regret:
"Hey, brother Jian, I think you two are both in love, why don't you give it a try."
"The Jian family has a large number of members. Since I have enjoyed wealth and glory for more than ten years, how can I let the family fall into danger?" Jian Shuchi felt a pain in his heart as if it was being torn apart when he thought of Su Qingwan being held in the arms of another man after getting married.
He said bitterly, "Is Brother Tian back?"
"want to drink?"
"Ah."
"Sister-in-law will make you some snacks to go with the wine. Your elder brother Tian is almost the same..."
"Wife, Aunt Zhang said who will come this afternoon?" Tian Dawei shouted loudly and pushed open the door and came in.
"What's your name?" Mrs. Tian glared.
Tian Dawei immediately made a gesture to shut up and lowered his voice. "Is there anyone in the room?"
"Brother Jane."
Tian Dawei seemed to have heard some great gossip. "Didn't they say there was a daughter of a high-ranking official? Could she be the sweetheart of Brother Jian?"
"Hush. He's very sad. I'll go cook some dishes and you can drink some wine with him."
"Okay, wrap it up on me."
……
Su Rutang sent Su Qingwan back home first.
Su Qingwan leaned on Su Rutang's shoulder, "Aunt. I was really bad. For a moment, I wanted to give up everything and leave."
"Why don't you go to your great-grandfather's place? Maybe a change of environment would be a good thing."
"I want to go find Sister Song."
"Your mother won't agree." Su Rutang knew that her cousin-in-law was the most rule-abiding. If the Su family didn't love their daughter and she wasn't the youngest daughter-in-law and had to listen to the elders, they would definitely not let their daughter read any books other than those on female training and admonitions.
"So please, auntie."
Su Qingwan's eyes were clear, "Just say that my great grandfather asked me to go over."
"Your mother won't believe it."
"Would you please write a letter?" Su Qingwan hugged Su Rutang's arm and acted coquettishly, "Aunt is the best to me. I am your follower."
Su Qingwan is a few years younger than Su Rutang.
Su Rutang particularly liked this niece when he was a child.
He believes that the existence of his niece is proof that he is an adult.
"Ok."
"Write now." Su Qingwan took out the letter paper from the compartment of the carriage and asked Su Rutang to write the letter imitating the handwriting of Mr. Su.
Su Rutang has a strong ability to imitate.
She even remembered Mr. Su's writing habits and blew the ink dry after writing.
"It's not appropriate for you to take it back. Tomorrow I'll have someone take it to the person who brought the letter to the capital and give him a few taels of silver to run the trip."
"Aunt is still smart."
Su Qingwan's heart was filled with joy at leaving the capital, and she longed for a life like Song Huaiyan's.
Maybe left here.
It is no longer limited to matters of love between men and women.
She knew that neither Jian Shuchi nor she was brave. She was brave only once, and from then on, she and Jian Shuchi would only miss each other...
Send Su Qingwan back.
Su Rutang found Lan Xuanji and told her what happened today.
"Aunt. What I mean is that if we just keep giving in, it won't make the emperor let down his guard. It's better to do the opposite. At least we can live happily."
Lan Xuanji calmed down the anger that was rising up.
"What is the Lin family? I really tolerated them too much. They have forgotten my temper back then."
Su Rutang still briefly told her that Su Qingwan was going to look for Song Huaiyan.
"I agree. I'll write a letter in my grandfather's name. You know that my eldest sister-in-law will definitely not agree. Qingwan is her daughter after all, so let's just keep it a secret for now."
Lan Xuanji's eyes darkened.
"Qingwan is getting thinner and thinner, and it's not good for her to stay in the capital."
