Chapter 217: Came to the
After Liu and Su Yunrou returned to Tinglan Courtyard, she could no longer bear it and started cursing.
"Hua Jiao Niang, you little bitch, how dare you plot against me? Just wait for me."
"Mom, calm down. Nothing can happen to Hua Jiaoniang now. Don't you see that my father loves her very much? If anything happens to her, it will be all your fault." Su Yunrou reminded.
Even if you want to get rid of Hua Jiaoniang, you can't use the direct killing method.
"Then what should we do? Are we waiting for her to give birth to an illegitimate child to piss me off? Your eldest brother is probably useless. If Hua Jiaoniang gives birth to a boy, won't your father forget about the three of us, mother and son?" Liu said.
Su Yunrou didn't care. She knew everything that Liu had done to Hua Jiaoniang, which was why Hua Jiaoniang couldn't give birth to the child and might even lose her life.
In the past, she didn't want to get involved in what happened in her father's room, but today Hua Jiaoniang made Liu lose face, which was equivalent to trampling on her own face. The most important thing was that she embarrassed her in front of Su Qingwan and Su Lihan. This was not acceptable.
"Mom, Dad wouldn't be so stupid as to ignore us for a child who doesn't even know if he can grow up. Besides, Hua Jiaoniang entered the mansion with a child in her arms, so who knows if the child in her belly is my father's."
Su Yunrou said lightly.
"It should be your father's. I asked someone to check. After Hua Jiaoniang was redeemed, she was kept outside by your father and has never had contact with other men." Liu said.
"Mom, whether there is any contact or not, you can find out if you look for it more."
Su Yunrou's words reminded Liu, and she instantly understood what to do.
Hua Jiaoniang has shown her deep love for the master in front of everyone today, so let the master see how deep her love is.
I think if Su Zhiyi knew that the child in Hua Jiaoniang's belly was not his, he would definitely be furious, right?
……
Xiao Kang was always uneasy after she returned. She was sure that she saw the ghost of Campbell standing on the rockery, but the next moment, there was nothing on the rockery.
"Mom, the dead cannot be resurrected, you can't always think about him." Su Yueqi persuaded.
He felt that Xiaokang was seeing things. After all, one thinks about something during the day and dreams about it at night. His mother had been thinking about her uncle these days, so it was natural that she would be seeing things unintentionally.
Xiaokang could only nod her head. Perhaps that was what her son had said, and she was thinking too much.
She took a deep breath and felt much better.
Campbell didn't know that he had drugged him. Only his aunt knew about this, so he should not scare himself.
"You should go back and have a rest too, Madam Ji, and ask the kitchen to deliver the food to the young master and young lady's room," she ordered again.
"Yes!" Nanny Ji quickly agreed and went out to make arrangements.
Su Lihan and Su Yueqi bowed to Xiaokang and left.
The mansion soon became quiet. It was late at night when a figure lightly landed in front of Xiaokang's window.
"elder sister……"
"sister…… "
"I died such a tragic death... Why did you hurt me... Sister..."
"sister……"
Accompanied by a series of low sounds, the window was blown open by the wind with a creaking sound.
Xiaokang was awakened instantly. She had been sleeping very uneasily to begin with. When she opened her eyes, she saw a familiar figure standing outside the window.
"sister…… "
"Ah——" Xiaokang's scream pierced the night sky.
The little maid who was sleeping on the footstool to keep watch was awakened by the fright.
"Second Madam, what's wrong with you?" the little maid asked hurriedly. She just thought Xiao Kang was having a terrible nightmare.
"Ghost, there is a ghost, where is the ghost!"
Xiaokang pointed at the window, but hid her head in the quilt, not daring to look outside.
The maid shrank her eyes and looked in the direction of Xiaokang's finger, but saw that it was just the window that was blown open by the night wind.
Nanny Ji, who was sleeping in the outer room, also hurried in. When she saw the window was open, she hurriedly said to Xiao Kang:
"Madam, it's just that the window was blown open. Don't think too much about it. I'll go and close the window."
Nanny Ji went forward to close the window, and when she came back she took over the job from the maid and asked her to guard outside.
"Madam Ji, I just saw him coming to see me, with disheveled hair, and calling me as usual, woo woo..."
In fear, Xiaokang started crying again, because the relaxed mood after her son came back was brought up again in less than two days.
"Second Madam, don't scare yourself. My uncle died of illness and will not come to see you. If you are really worried, then talk to the old lady tomorrow. We can go to the White Horse Temple to burn incense and write a longevity tablet for my uncle."
Nanny Ji continued to comfort her.
Xiao Kang was upset. After listening to Nanny Ji's words, she felt that it made a lot of sense and she should write a longevity tablet for Campbell.
Nanny Ji coaxed her to go back to sleep, but Xiaokang was worried and couldn't sleep well.
Early the next morning, Xiao Kang went to Rong'an Hall of Lao Kang.
"What's wrong with you? You are the second wife of the marquis's mansion after all, why do you look so haggard?" Old Mrs. Kang asked unhappily.
She also heard about Xiaokang fainting yesterday, but she just didn't go to see her. She didn't expect that she would come to find her so early today. She is really a fool who doesn't take responsibility.
"Aunt, I seemed to have seen Bailey last night, he..." Young Mrs. Kang was still frightened. She had just said one sentence when she was stared at by Old Mrs. Kang and dared not to continue.
"I know you're thinking about him. If you're really worried, ask a monk to perform a ritual to help him transcend. That way you can be at ease and not be obsessed with him. You should think more about Yue Qi. He's going to take the imperial examination and he can't have any stain on him. You're his mother, so you have to know what to say and what not to say."
It was rare for Old Kang to have the patience to lecture Young Kang.
Xiao Kang felt a chill in her heart, knowing that she could no longer talk about Campbell's affairs.
"Aunt, I understand! Last night I was thinking of going to the White Horse Temple to set up a longevity tablet for him. Now let's ask someone to perform a ritual to pray for his soul to be reborn." Xiaokang said.
Old Mrs. Kang naturally had no objection to this, and she didn't ask too many questions. She just let Young Mrs. Kang handle it on her own.
After Su Yueqi and Su Lihan knew that Xiaokang was going to hold a memorial service for Campbell, they had no objection. They just felt that by doing so, Xiaokang would feel more at ease.
……
In Fuguang Courtyard, Linxiang was serving Su Qingwan with writing brush and ink, but just after writing two lines, Aunt Rong came to the door like a gust of wind.
"Miss!" Aunt Rong shouted outside.
"Come in and talk."
Su Qingwan's voice came from inside the house. Aunt Rong hurried inside, saying with a gloating tone:
"Miss, I just heard from the maid in the second courtyard that the second wife had a nightmare last night. Everyone in the courtyard heard her screaming, and she kept the lights on all night!"
