Chapter 387 Planting the seeds of hatred for Xiaokang
Su Zhiwen was locked up by the old marquis. Old Mrs. Kang felt sorry for her son but had no other choice, so she returned to Rong'an Hall in a depressed mood.
Xiaokang cried so sadly that even after returning to her own courtyard, she was still restless.
Her husband had become like that. According to Su Qingwan, he would continue to be crazy. How could the second wife live in the future? What hope did she and her daughter have?
Seeing that she was crying so sadly, Su Qingwan asked Zhenzhu to twist a silk handkerchief for her and said to Xiaokang:
"Second aunt, please stop crying. Be careful not to hurt your eyes."
Xiaokang took the handkerchief and wiped her face, but accidentally touched the swollen area from being hit, and she gasped in pain.
Su Qingwan wanted to laugh out loud, but she held it back. She came to the second room because she had something else to say, so she continued:
"Second uncle has to be kept like this for now. Second aunt shouldn't worry too much. Maybe he will get better after a while."
Xiao Kang sighed, "Qing Wan, don't comfort me. I just heard from the old marquis that no one who used that thing has ever recovered."
"Alas! Second uncle was fine before, why did he suddenly take Wushisan? It's really strange, he looks like he's possessed by something. If I had known Second Uncle would become like this, I would have let him learn from First Uncle and hang out with those new concubines all day long. Who knows, one of the concubines might get lucky and give birth to a son soon."
Su Qingwan felt extremely regretful. She wanted to remind Xiaokang that perhaps the concubine Su Yueqi had married before his death might have been pregnant.
Xiao Kang obviously thought of this. With so many things happening in the Marquis' Mansion recently, she had forgotten about this matter. She looked at Nanny Ji and asked:
"Is Xiaolian pregnant?"
Nanny Ji hadn't contacted Xiaolian's family for a long time because of the Marquis's Mansion. Now she didn't know either, so she could only say, "Second Madam, we don't know yet. Why don't I go and ask now?"
Xiao Kang waved his hand and said, "It won't take a day or two. You can ask again in a few days."
The main reason is that Xiaokang was beaten up by an actor today. She feels uncomfortable all over and cannot leave someone to serve her. Nanny Ji will be away for at least a day, so it’s better to wait until she recovers for a few days before asking.
Nanny Ji quickly agreed. The place where she was kicked by the Second Master must be very painful. She had just said it casually. Naturally, she needed to rest for a few days before going out.
Su Qingwan looked at Xiaokang's appearance and smiled slightly, diverting Xiaokang's attention to whether Su Yueqi left behind a bloodline, because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment in the future.
"Second aunt, you should take a good rest. I'll go back first." Su Qingwan stood up and prepared to leave.
Xiao Kang remembered what Su Qingwan had promised her, and hurriedly asked, "Qingwan, when can you ask the disciple of the Divine Doctor to come and help your fifth sister with her face? She is hiding in her boudoir now, and she doesn't go out all day. What will happen if this continues for a long time?"
"Don't worry, Second Aunt. I was planning to go and invite you today, but I was delayed by Second Uncle's incident. But it doesn't matter. I will write a letter after I go back and have someone send it to the palace to ask."
Su Qingwan's words immediately put Xiaokang at ease. After saying a lot of words of thanks, he watched Su Qingwan leave.
"Second Madam, the Fourth Miss is still thinking about the Fifth Miss. If it weren't for the Second Master's incident, the disciple of the genius doctor might have already been looking for the Fifth Miss." Nanny Ji said with emotion.
"Madam Ji, did you hear what Qing Wan said just now? She said that the Second Master seemed to be possessed by something. Do you think it is possible that the Feng Shui of the courtyard was destroyed by that bitch Liu, and now it is starting to backfire on the Second Master?"
Xiao Kang listened to what Su Qingwan had just said, and the more he thought about it, the more flustered he became. At the same time, he also felt that what he thought must be correct. Su Zhiwen became like this most likely because of the backlash of feng shui.
Nanny Ji was unsure about this mysterious thing, but she also couldn't understand why the Second Master wanted to get the Five-Stone Powder.
"It's hard to say. After all, after the feng shui of our courtyard was ruined, too many bad things happened. The second young master died, the fifth young lady was injured, and now it's the second old master's turn. It's like it was planned. It can't be a coincidence!"
After listening to Nanny Ji's words, Xiaokang's face became even colder, and she hated Liu even more in her heart.
"Liu, you bitch, you killed my two daughters, not enough, you also want to kill the second master, I will make you pay with blood!"
Xiaokang said this with gnashing teeth.
Such a big thing happened in the Marquis' Mansion and it soon spread to Tinglan Courtyard.
After going outside to inquire around, Nanny Zhou came back excitedly and said to Liu: "Madam, I just heard that the old marquis got very angry and locked up the second master. The second lady and the old lady were very anxious. They begged for a long time, but the old marquis didn't calm down. So the second master is still locked up."
After Xiaokang came to her place and made a fuss last time, Liu has been kept in her yard and has never left the yard.
"Su Zhiwen was locked up? Do you know why?" Liu asked.
"I heard that the second master wanted to buy an authentic work of a famous artist, but the Marquis's Mansion didn't have the money to spend recklessly. Because of this, the old Marquis was angry and he was locked up."
Nanny Zhou told Su Zhiwen the news she had heard, but she didn't know that the old marquis had already issued a gag order and only used Su Zhiwen's past habit of spending money recklessly as an excuse.
Upon hearing this, Liu snorted coldly, "Su Zhiwen is just an idiot. The last thing anyone in the mansion can talk about right now is money. He chose to cause trouble at this time. He deserves to be locked up!"
"What the eldest lady said is right. I have long felt that the second master is not as good as our eldest master. He only knows how to make useless things all day long." Nanny Zhou said with contempt.
Speaking of Su Zhiyi, Liu frowned again. Those concubines who were newly sent to Su Zhiru were still not pregnant. They were too useless.
"Madam Zhou, go and tell the new concubines that whoever can get pregnant with the eldest master's child first will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver." Liu said.
She was not worried about not being able to come up with the money when the time came. If one of them really got pregnant, the two old guys would come up with the money themselves, and she wouldn't have to worry about it at all.
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Nanny Zhou walked out quickly.
Now if the eldest wife had an heir, their position would be secure.
Su Qingwan returned to Helin Courtyard. Jiang had already heard about the affairs of the third house, but she did not show up. She just let the old marquis and others handle it themselves and pretended to know nothing about it.
