Chapter 234 A Peaceful Night
After Chan Xuanzi left, Xiao Kang carefully put away the yellow talisman, and Nanny Ji also visibly recovered her energy and spirit.
"Second Madam, I can finally rest assured now." Nanny Ji said with emotion.
"Yes, I can rest assured."
Xiao Kang thought about it and felt that she had to tell her aunt so that she wouldn't worry about it anymore, so she said, "Let's go to Rong'an Hall."
The master and servant went to Rong'an Hall, but after entering, they saw that old Mrs. Kang's face was not good.
What's going on here?
Xiaokang walked in puzzled.
"Aunt, who made you unhappy?" Xiao Kang asked.
Old Kang let out a heavy sigh.
Who provokes her? Who can provoke her?
She wanted to see how long these children and grandchildren of the Marquis' Mansion could delay going if she didn't mention the birthday banquet.
Especially Liu, I heard that she went out early in the morning and hasn't come back yet.
"What are you doing here?"
Old Mrs. Kang knew what Little Mrs. Kang was afraid of. She was worried that after Little Mrs. Kang came out, she would say something inappropriate outside, so she simply let her hide.
"I am just telling you that the ritual for Campbell has been completed. From now on, we in the Marquis' Mansion can sleep peacefully." Xiao Kang said happily.
Old Mrs. Kang rolled her eyes at her. In the Marquis Manor, only Mrs. Kang felt guilty and thought that Campbell would come to find him. But it was good now. Mrs. Kang no longer had any worries and could calm down, so she didn't have to do it herself.
"That's good!" Old Kang twisted the Buddhist beads and spoke lightly.
……
After Su Qingwan returned to Fuguangyuan and changed her clothes, she went to Helinyuan.
Jiang was chatting with Rong Mama and others. They all knew that the second house had performed a ritual, and the maid from the Zhao family even went to take a look.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Su Qingwan asked with a smile.
"Fourth Miss, you missed a great show today. The Second Madam hired someone to perform a ritual and made it look like the real thing."
Aunt Rong felt like she hadn’t seen enough.
"It's a good thing to perform a ritual, so that Second Aunt won't worry!" Su Qingwan sighed, and then said with a smile: "Aunt Rong, I want to eat five-flavor apricot cheese goose today. Shanhu is busy in the small kitchen, but she can't cook this dish well, so please go and help watch it!"
"Hey! I'm going right now!"
After Aunt Rong agreed, she immediately walked outside.
This dish is only authentic when she makes it, and the lady loves her cooking.
The Zhao family's wife also followed Aunt Rong away, and everyone else went about their own business.
"Mom, where's my dad? Hasn't he come back yet?"
Su Qingwan pretended not to know that Su Zhiru was still out there.
"He came back, changed his clothes and went out again. He has been very busy these days and is rarely at home." Jiang said indifferently.
Su Qingwan thought to herself that her father had really learned the Su family's habit of not coming home.
My grandfather was like this, and so were my two half brothers. Now, my father is the same as them.
He is truly worthy of being a man of the Su family!
Jiang Shi seemed unaware of Su Zhiru's change. Su Qingwan opened her mouth and wanted to tell Jiang Shi about Song Xiangzhi, but when the words came to her lips, she turned around and swallowed them back.
"What a pity, Dad won't have the good fortune today and won't be able to eat the five-flavor apricot cheese goose." She said it with regret, which made Jiang laugh.
However, Su Zhiru did not have the chance to enjoy the delicious food because he had not returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
Su Qingwan had anticipated this a long time ago. It seemed that Song Xiangzhi did have some skills.
As soon as she returned to Fuguang Courtyard, Linxiang told her, "Fourth Miss, Aunt Hua is here and is crying in the house!"
After hearing this, Su Qingwan did not go to the main house, but only ordered: "Let her go back and cry, this is not the place for her to cry."
Lin Xiang nodded. She meant the same thing, but she didn't make a decision for Su Qingwan.
Hua Jiaoniang was asked to leave Fuguangyuan by Linxiang. She was naturally unwilling to do so, but since she couldn't see Su Qingwan, she had no choice but to return to her own courtyard.
"Madam Hua, don't cry anymore. Be careful not to hurt yourself." The maid advised.
Hua Jiaoniang wiped her tears. She was not sad, but scared.
If Su Qingwan hadn't reminded him, he would have ended up with two dead bodies, and it would have looked flawless to outsiders.
Since she died of complications during childbirth due to an oversized fetus, no one would find it strange.
After going to the clinic today, the familiar doctor examined her carefully and said at first that her pregnancy was going well. But when he talked about the month of pregnancy, his face became serious.
After further questioning, she learned that the baby in her belly was growing too well, which was not a good thing for the mother, and it was very likely that the baby would be too large and difficult to deliver during childbirth.
After hearing this, Hua Jiaoniang had no choice but to understand.
No wonder Liu was so kind to give her so many nourishing things. Now it seems that Liu has been plotting against her since she first entered the Marquis' Mansion.
If I kept taking those tonics, when the day of delivery came, even if I didn't die, I would be in great trouble. What's more, it is possible that the midwife did something to cause me to die during childbirth.
Liu is so vicious!
"Aunt Hua, why don't we tell the master about this and ask him to make the decision for you." The maid suggested.
Hua Jiaoniang shook her head calmly. It would be useless even if she told the master about this. There was no substantial evidence. If the master knew about it, he would at most scold Liu.
Moreover, Liu had many reasons to make excuses. After all, the things she sent were all genuine supplements. If he wanted to bring Liu down, he would have to plan carefully.
Seeing this, the maid stopped trying to persuade her and just helped Hua Jiaoniang go to bed.
That night, the Marquis's Mansion was unusually quiet, and Xiaokang had a very good sleep.
The next day, Su Yunrou was about to go to Tinglan Courtyard, but unexpectedly met the court physician Doctor Guo at the door.
After my eldest brother and mother were injured, Doctor Guo came over every day to clean their wounds and change the dressings.
"Second Miss, do you know where the first lady is?" Doctor Guo finally met the master of the first house and asked hurriedly.
Su Yunrou was very puzzled by the question, as Liu should be in Tinglan Courtyard at this time.
"Isn't my mother at Tinglan Courtyard?"
"No, I heard from the maid at Tinglan Courtyard that the eldest lady went out yesterday and hasn't come back since." Doctor Guo had agreed with Liu yesterday that he would change her dressing today.
Since this person is not here, he has no way to change the medicine!
"My mother is not here?" Su Yunrou had a bad feeling. She immediately walked into Tinglan Courtyard and asked the maid who was serving in the courtyard.
Only then did they discover that Liu had not returned all night after leaving the Marquis' Mansion yesterday!
Could it be that the Zhang family has gone crazy and killed my mother directly?
Su Yunrou did not dare to delay and immediately went to Zhang's house to find someone, but was stopped by Zijuan.
"Second Miss, the old marquis won't let you go out, and your wedding is coming up soon. If you run off to the Zhang family like this, if the Concubine Shu and the Emperor find out, I'm afraid they won't let you and the Marquis's house off easily."
Zijuan's words made sense. If I just went out like this, wouldn't it arouse suspicion? I would have to change my clothes.
