Chapter 113 It’s better to be extinct
What makes the Su family different from the Shen family and the Jian family is that they not only have powerful officials but also capable generals.
This is also why the emperor is even more wary of the Su family.
"Grandfather is old, all he wants is for you to be safe. I don't want the girls of the Su family to become pawns in a game."
After hearing this, Su Rutang knew that the emperor was up to something again.
"Grandfather. I also think that power is fleeting. If Grandfather retires and returns to his hometown, he can live a peaceful life for a few years."
“You’ve worked hard all your life.”
Mr. Su smiled and said:
"You are so insightful. Your father will be happy in his grave. In the future, you can adopt a good boy from the clan to live under your father's name. Then he will have someone to take care of in his family."
"Everything is up to Grandfather's orders."
After Wen Jiu asked carefully, he found out that the emperor had the idea of granting Su Qingwan a marriage.
"who is it?"
"The son of the governor of Jinyang."
Su Rutang paled. Could it be that she had foreseen this in advance, and that even if she didn't allow the two families to get married, they would still end up like this?
She felt powerless.
"That family is not a good match, it's hell!"
Mr. Su let out a long sigh.
"Don't worry, I'm retiring to my hometown to ask for your freedom of marriage."
"us?"
"Yes, the divorce letter between you and Zhou Chengru." Old Master Su looked at Su Rutang kindly with his wise eyes.
"I know you've had a hard time these years."
“Grandfather, I have enjoyed the glory of the Su family. It is my duty to do what I can for the Su family.”
"I can't leave the Zhou family yet. Even if I leave, I won't leave alone."
Su Rutang made up his mind to leave.
Song Huaiyan will also be brought out.
That night, she asked Su Buli to take her back to Zhou's house, and asked the people in Su's house to take Taohua and a few others to the temple.
Su Buli told her that they were doing their best to capture Murong Feiyue.
"Rutang."
"Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"That Murong Feiyue gave birth to several children." Su Buli found out about this, "The identity of the child's father is not ordinary."
Wen Jiu’s mind moved.
Did you find out that it was Zhou Chengru’s child?
"You said."
"It's the child of a certain marquis in the court. The marquis has a fierce wife, so even if he has a concubine and a child outside, his wife can find him."
Su Buli didn't say anything else.
Su Rutang understood.
Hahahaha...
It turns out that the children that Zhou Chengru had been thinking about so much were all born to other people.
The miscarriage of a bastard's son had also happened before, and there were also cases of premature death.
I heard that it was all an accident. Was it an accident or was it man-made? Su Rutang suddenly wanted to know what Zhou Chengru would think when he knew the truth.
When Su Rutang heard that Zhou Chengru's concubines were not his children, he had another idea in his mind.
He attaches so much importance to his offspring.
It’s better to have no descendants.
Returned to Zhou Mansion.
Su Rutang first went to see Song Huaiyan and saw that her face looked increasingly rosy.
I couldn't help but joke, "In the future, you can go out and set up a household as a woman. If you want to get married, you can get married. If you don't want to get married, you can just live like this."
Song Huaiyan quickly sat up straight.
"Can a female household be established?"
"Not for now. If I can get out, I can take you out with me."
Su Rutang would register Rong Rui under her own name. With Old Master Su retiring and returning home, it would be easy for her to get approval to establish a female household.
"It's just that your mother's family..."
Song Huaiyan didn't think too much about it, and took it one step at a time. She figured it out, this is just like working in modern times.
You have to serve the boss all the time.
Su Rutang is her partner, and the two women comfort and warm each other.
“The ice shop and that wine are doing great business.”
“How much can I earn in a month?”
Su Rutang calculated, "You can get 5,000 taels of silver this summer."
"I'm thinking about rouge and powder again."
Su Rutang took the prescription from her and laughed:
"Your grandfather's family must be regretting this."
"We can't let them know. Otherwise, if I fail in the Zhou family, they will definitely take me back and detain me." Song Huaiyan knew that money could tempt people.
She didn't want anyone to know her abilities unless it was absolutely necessary.
In just a few months, her idea of making a name for herself in ancient times had been wiped out.
"Aunt, the Second Master is here."
Song Huaiyan's face turned cold, "It's so dirty."
He suddenly held his breath for a long time, and his face turned abnormally red.
Su Rutang stood up.
The words were light, "You are too weak. Why can't you think of more ways to increase the revenue for the mansion?"
"I am stupid and I really don't have the ability to do what I want." Song Huaiyan covered her head with the quilt.
"Come on. You've wasted a lot of my good stuff. I'll bring you a bowl of fish maw and millet porridge tomorrow."
"Rutang, you are here too?" Zhou Chengru was like an eggplant hit by frost.
He wanted to go to the Fifth Prince to explain.
Didn't even go through the door.
Said he was not familiar with him.
"Second Master, you were full of energy and vigor at noon. How come you are like a gray melon pickled with old salt now?"
Zhou Chengru looked as pale as death.
"You...you knew?" He pressed on, trying to find evidence from Su Rutang's face.
Su Rutang raised the corners of his lips and chuckled.
"What do I know?" Su Rutang met his fearful eyes, "It was you who thought Wen Yi was talented yesterday and insisted on letting him compete with Jiang Wenbing."
"You put all your thoughts on your son. I'm afraid he will disappoint you in the future."
"Su Rutang. Why are you jealous of a child?"
"Am I jealous? You are the one who committed the big mistake."
Su Rutang said aggressively, "Who are the people present today? It's your turn to show off."
"How many students are there in the Imperial College? Is your son so capable that he was admitted to the Imperial College?"
Zhou Chengru was speechless after being asked by Su Rutang.
I forgot that besides the quota for aristocratic families, another way to enter the Imperial College is to take an exam.
He didn't seem to have thought of this approach.
Thinking that he had not completed the task assigned by the Fifth Prince, he suddenly felt cold all over, and was glad that he had not been discovered by the Su family.
"Let's not talk about that brat." Zhou Chengru smiled.
"I'll take you back."
Su Rutang glanced at Song Huaiyan's little head poking out from under the quilt.
"Thank you for your help, Master."
Zhou Chengru left the bedroom and then remembered that he was visiting Song Huaiyan. He turned around and shouted inside:
"Take good care of yourself. I'll come visit you another day."
Song Huaiyan pinched her throat and said, "Thank you for your concern, Second Master."
Zhou Chengru and Su Rutang entered Chuitang Courtyard.
"Second Grandma."
"Second Master." Qiu Ling hurriedly squatted down and saluted.
Zhou Chengru said calmly: "Get up! Pour me a cup of the tea that your second grandmother usually drinks."
Su Rutang's mind moved.
"I'll go. They're so clumsy, so please sit in the room for a while."
Zhou Chengru hadn't seen Su Rutang so considerate for a long time. He also wanted to have a child with her, so that he could use it to tie down the Su family.
He looked at Su Rutang's busy figure.
A smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Su Rutang found an ordinary cup that he rarely used. He turned his back to Zhou Chengru and took out a pill from the secret compartment of his waistband.
Put it in the cup.
I made a cup of tea and brought it in.
"Drink some tea to calm down." Su Rutang handed the teacup to Zhou Chengru and sat down on the chair opposite him.
Zhou Chengru held the teacup in his hand.
"Rutang."
Just by listening to his voice, I knew he had evil thoughts. "Second Master, are you here for tea? Or are you calling my name?"
Zhou Chengru smiled.
He picked up the cup and took several sips.
"Good tea."
"Rutang, I want us to be husband and wife. I know how I feel about you, but I just can't get over it."
He looked at Su Rutang affectionately.
"If you were a virgin, I would definitely not ignore you like this."
