The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 505: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (44)

Cao Wanning glanced at Hongdou indifferently, then lowered his eyes and continued to enjoy the exquisite snack he had eaten earlier.

Soon, Su Weichen stepped into the house.

Hongdou hurriedly bowed to him, but Cao Wanning seemed extremely indifferent and didn't even look up at him.

Hongdou was keenly aware that the atmosphere was a little subtle, so she immediately stepped forward and tried to ease the awkward situation: "Master, Madam has been concerned about your health.

Just now on the way back to the courtyard, Madam asked someone to boil medicine for you."

As she spoke, Hongdou pointed to the porcelain bowl of medicine on the table and added, "The medicine has been simmering for a long time now. Madam was planning to send someone to deliver it to you!"

"Hongdou, shut up!" Cao Wanning's face instantly turned irritated when she heard that, and she yelled coquettishly, "Who said I missed him?"

However, at this moment, seeing his beloved wife, who usually had a graceful demeanor and elegant manners, showing such a shy and angry look, Su Weicheng couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart - the woman in front of him really treated him sincerely!

In comparison, other women like Yue Niang are just coveting his money.

Thinking of this, Su Weichen felt even more fond of Cao Wanning.

Su Weicheng walked quickly to Cao Wanning, gently held her hand, and said softly: "Wanning, you don't have to be shy, I understand everything. I was wrong about Yue Niang before, and I have already dealt with Yue Niang. She will never appear in the Su Mansion again."

"After all, Yue Niang has been with you for many years. Even if you leave the mansion, you should not treat her badly." Cao Wanning sighed, "Don't let others think that we in the Su Mansion are mean!"

These words were actually a "disguised" reminder to Su Weicheng: Yue Niang had been with him for too long, and she knew too many of his secrets. Yue Niang knew everything about his mistress in recent days.

Feeling Su Weicheng holding her hand with a little more force, Cao Wanning suddenly realized something, but she immediately shook off Su Weicheng's hand and turned her head away: "You must be reluctant to leave your beloved, so you hold my hand so hard."

Su Weicheng was slightly stunned, and immediately smiled and said, "It's incredible! I'm just so touched that you still put my health first in this situation."

As he spoke, he picked up the bowl of medicine, blew on it, and prepared to drink it: "This is the medicine you specially prepared for me, I must drink it."

Cao Wanning watched him drink the medicine in one gulp just like before. Although it was not as hot anymore, it was still very bitter.

While he was putting down the bowl, she took out a preserved fruit from the box and stuffed it into Su Weicheng's mouth: "Come and have something sweet to get rid of the bitterness."

Su Weicheng felt very comfortable while eating the preserved fruits that his wife fed him, and he took Cao Wanning into his arms.

Hongdou watched this scene and quietly left the room, closing the door behind her.

Early the next morning, Su Weicheng and Cao Wanning had breakfast together, drank the medicine, and went to Cao's shop.

Hongdou only entered the room after watching the master leave.

As soon as I entered, I saw Cao Wanning had gotten up and was sitting in front of the dressing mirror combing her hair. She smiled and came over for a while before saying, "I wish Madam and the master a harmonious relationship."

"What are you thinking! Just one night, and you think they are in love." Cao Wanning smiled disdainfully, "In terms of time, Yue Niang has been with the master longer than me, but won't she still be abandoned in the end?

I am the lady of the Su family. The basis of my foothold in the Su family has never been the favor of the master, but the influence of my mother's family behind me and the pair of children I gave birth to for him.

Anyway, he will never have other children in his life, and everything in the Su Mansion belongs to my two children."

"Madam, what about the medicine?" Hongdou was a little worried that the drugging would be discovered.

"It's the royal family's secret medicine, even the imperial physician isn't sure about it, no one would talk about it carelessly." Cao Wanning was very confident about this.

In the afternoon, the people arranged by Cao Wanning to stay at the farm outside the city came over and said that Su Weicheng had arranged his confidants to go to the farm to see Yue Niang.

Not long after he entered, he told them to just deliver meals to the door and not to worry about anything else.

"She is so cruel!" Cao Wanning said to Hongdou, "Do you think Yue Niang is mute? Or disabled? Or is she being forced to wait for death?"

"Madam, don't think about it. This has nothing to do with us." Hongdou was afraid that Cao Wanning would feel burdened, so she persuaded her.

"It doesn't matter. We just need to live our own lives!" Cao Wanning looked at the sky and said, "The master should be home by about this time. Go and prepare the medicine. It takes half a month to see the effect."

"Yes." Hongdou responded and went downstairs to boil the medicine.

On the other hand, Su Xiangran had no idea that her mother had lived such a thrilling life during the two months she was in school, and she had no idea that she was actually a very successful woman.

She was still a little worried when she looked at the textbooks she had recently distributed and the daily homework.

Su Xiangran couldn't help but swear in her heart: When accepting a mission in the future, she must never wear the clothes on children, because no matter what era it is, there are always homework.
