Chapter 207 Difficult Choice
Now that the things are in Su Qingwan's hands, it is up to her to decide whether to use them or not.
Old Kang returned the wet handkerchief to Aunt Xu and said with a sneer, "She will bring it with her."
She has seen through Su Qingwan. She has gained so many benefits from her today. Given Su Qingwan's personality, how could she not show off?
Besides, even if she didn't wear it, he could find a reason to make Su Qingwan wear it all the time.
Nanny Xu put aside her doubts and helped old Mrs. Kang to lie down.
When I woke up the next morning, the sky was overcast and the sky was full of fog and clouds, without a trace of sunlight.
After Linxiang helped Su Qingwan get up, he brought her breakfast.
Today Shanhu made egg custard, millet porridge, and seasonal stir-fried dishes.
Su Qingwan had a good appetite and ate all the breakfast that was sent to her. Just as she was about to go to Helin Courtyard, a drizzle began to fall from the sky, and the dry ground soon became wet.
"Miss, it's raining. Why don't we go to the lady later?" Lin Xiang said.
"Okay." Su Qingwan agreed immediately.
She went to the small study and asked Linxiang to make tea for her.
At the same time, Campbell staggered out of Wanhua Tower. His outer robe had been stripped off by the people in Wanhua Tower, leaving only his undershirt. He walked on the wet street with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The rain soon soaked his clothes, but Campbell was unaware of it. He walked forward aimlessly, not knowing whether he was going back to the Camp family.
"Oh! Uncle, how did you get into this state?"
An old man jumped down from a carriage passing by and hurriedly held an umbrella over Comply's head.
He went to the Kang family, and after asking the master of the Kang family, he found out that Campbell had not returned at all.
So where did this person go? If she couldn't find Cornbury, the old lady would be furious.
But unexpectedly, when he was anxiously thinking about where to find someone, he ran into the disheveled Campbell on a deserted street.
This is really hard to find, and it takes no effort at all!
Now that he has found Kang's uncle, he can go back and report smoothly.
Campbell opened his eyes dazedly and looked at the old man who was blocking his way. The man looked familiar, like the old butler of the Marquis's mansion.
"Get out of my way." Campbell waved his hand and continued walking forward.
After separating from Xiaokang yesterday, he went straight into Wanhua Tower.
Those people were obviously nowhere to be found, and I didn't know when they would appear again, and all my money was gone.
In this situation, apart from drinking to relieve his sorrow, what other methods can help him forget his worries?
It's a pity that the wine is finished but there is no money to pay the bill, hehe...
Campbell didn't care about his wet and miserable appearance at all, and took a few more steps crookedly.
The old housekeeper immediately stopped the man and said, "My dear uncle, where can you go like this? I think you should get in the carriage and I will take you back."
As he spoke, he took hold of Campbell's arm and led him to the carriage.
Still drunk, Campbell followed him into the carriage, not caring where it was taking him.
Xiaokang was wearing a dark gray-blue cloak with her entire face hidden in it. She stood under the eaves outside the back door of the marquis's mansion, quietly waiting for the old butler to come back.
Some raindrops fell on her hands, feeling cold, but Xiaokang seemed not to feel anything.
At this moment, she hoped that the old housekeeper had not been able to pick up Campbell. After all, it was raining today, and with Campbell's character of disliking trouble, he would definitely not leave the house.
Who knows, you might even be able to save your life because of this.
But she was also afraid that the old housekeeper would go to the Kang family to pick someone up but fail to pick up Kang Baili, because if so, it would be very likely that someone from the Imperial City Bureau had taken Kang Baili away.
Xiaokang didn't dare to think further, but the confusion in her heart was more chaotic than raindrops blown by the wind.
Tears flowed down her cheeks without her noticing, and she didn't know how many times she cried that night.
The rain was getting heavier, and the situation on the street was becoming increasingly unclear.
Xiao Kang felt her legs were numb and she could hardly stand. It looked like Campbell was unwilling to go out and the old housekeeper couldn't persuade him.
She comforted herself with this thought, thinking that in this way, she would not have to do what her aunt asked her to do.
But at the corner of the street, a carriage with dark blue curtains appeared in the rain.
Xiaokang's heart was instantly lifted!
That was the carriage that the old butler used to pick someone up in the morning. I wonder if I was in the carriage.
Nanny Ji and Nanny Xu were both standing inside the back door. Just now, Nanny Ji wanted to hold the umbrella for the Second Madam, but the Second Madam said she wanted to be quiet and asked them to go behind the door.
While Xiaokang was feeling conflicted and uncomfortable, the carriage still drove over and stopped right in front of her.
The old butler lifted the curtain and looked at the second wife. He said nothing, just nodded.
Seeing this, Xiaokang couldn't help but close her eyes.
It seems that this is God's arrangement and Campbell can't escape.
When she got on the carriage, she saw Campbell sleeping soundly, but he was only wearing a wet shirt. His face was a little pale, and he was shivering from time to time. He must have caught a cold.
Xiao Kang walked over, took out a handkerchief and wiped Campbell's face. She had a lot to say to Campbell, but in the end she just looked at him quietly for a while.
There was tea on a small table at the side. Xiao Kang poured out a cup and threw the pills that Lao Kang gave him into the water. The pills dissolved as soon as they entered the water. It took only a few breaths for them to dissolve.
"Little brother, don't sleep." Xiao Kang pushed Campbell to wake him up.
After being pushed many times by her, Campbell finally woke up, but his head was dizzy and he had a headache.
After he saw clearly that it was Xiaokang, he rubbed his eyebrows.
"Sister, why are you in the car too?" Campbell remembered that when he got in the car, he didn't see anyone else in the car.
Xiao Kang smiled gently, "I have to go out for something, and the carriage is coming to pick me up."
Campbell uttered an "oh" and closed his eyes again because of the headache.
"Little brother, don't worry! I have thought it through. The money is gone, and we can earn it again. The important thing is that no one is hurt. You don't have to go around the capital looking for them. Just pretend that this incident never happened." Xiaokang said earnestly.
She continued to wipe the water stains off Campbell's head. If it were in the past, she would have arranged for someone to help Campbell wash and comb his hair, and then asked a doctor to take his pulse.
But now there is no need to do these things anymore.
In fact, Kang Baili was ashamed to see Xiao Kang. After all, it was he who caused his sister to lose 80,000 taels of silver, which was not a small amount of money.
But now hearing her say this, I feel much better instantly.
They are now called siblings!
