Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 147 The truth (2)
Su Wan glanced at Aunt Fang indifferently, and didn't answer her words, only said a few more words to Su Wen, and then entered the room.

"Miss is here." Chunlan opened the curtain as she spoke, with an unpretentious smile on her face, obviously very happy that Su Wan came.

Su Wan nodded to Chunlan before entering the room.

Mrs. Zhao was still half lying on the kang in the Xici room. As soon as Su Wan entered, she heard Mrs. Zhao coughing, it seemed that her illness had gotten worse.However, compared to the first time Su Wan came back to see her, her complexion was better than before. The room was very clean and the air was very clear. It was obvious that Chunlan and the others took good care of her.

Seeing Su Wan coming in, Mrs. Zhao's expression flashed a bit complicated, and in the end, she was still indifferent, and said in a flat tone: "Are you back?"

Su Wan walked over, and asked with concern: "I saw that my mother was still coughing just now, but the condition has worsened?"

Mrs. Zhao coughed twice, shook her head, and said, "I'm in good health, and the prescription of Dr. Li is very effective."

Su Wan nodded and stopped talking.

On the contrary, Aunt Fang said politely: "Miss, don't worry too much. My wife just got a little bit of cold, so she coughed a little bit. The rest is fine. I ate a little more than usual. Dr. Li also said that my wife is recovering from illness." It’s not bad, but I’m in a bad mood recently, which has affected my condition, and I’ve been urging my wife not to be angry, but to relax!”

Chunyan served Su Wan tea, which was the Pu'er tea that Su Wan brought last time.Su Wan flicked the tea foam with the tea lid, then put it on the kang table, and asked: "Mother called me back this time, but do you have anything to say to my daughter?"

When Mrs. Zhao heard Su Wan calling her mother, she felt a little uncomfortable, moved her body, looked away and did not speak.

Seeing this, Su Wan knew that she must still not accept herself, and the trace of expectation that had just risen in her heart completely disappeared.

Aunt Fang saw that Mrs. Zhao didn't speak, she was very anxious, but she didn't dare to urge Mrs. Zhao. If she was stubborn again, wouldn't her daughter be saved? She had to worry secretly, but she couldn't hide her emotions. Yes, the anxiety is all on the face.

Seeing Aunt Fang's expression, Su Wan knew something in her heart, she probably understood why Mrs. Zhao called her back, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and a hint of irony flashed in her eyes.

If what she wanted to tell her was about Fang Qiaoling, she would rather Mrs. Zhao not talk to her.Not to mention that she didn't have the ability to let Fang Qiaoling out, even if she had the ability, she wouldn't let her go.

Why should she let go of the murderer who almost killed her?

When Mrs. Zhao didn't speak, Su Wan didn't speak either, and the room suddenly became very quiet.

Mrs. Zhao originally thought that Su Wan would ask herself, but who knew that she didn't speak, she became anxious and annoyed for a while, and then coughed again.

Su Wen hurriedly stepped forward to pat Zhao Shi on the back, and Zhao Shi waved his hand to stop him, not letting him approach her.

Ever since she knew that her disease was contagious, she had been unwilling to let Su Wen get too close to her. She had to wait for someone to take care of everything, because she was afraid of hurting her son. In her eyes, his son was much more important than herself.

Su Wan said with concern: "Why is mother coughing again, you should pay more attention to your body."

"There's no need for you to be hypocritical here!" Zhao Shi was annoyed in her heart, when she heard Su Wan speak, she blurted out hurtful words.

After she finished speaking, she was also taken aback for a moment, and the corners of her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to explain, but in the end she didn't say anything, just lowered her head and coughed lightly.

Everyone was surprised by Zhao's reaction, and Su Wen shouted out of composure: "Mother—" At the same time, he didn't forget to look at Su Wan in a panic, as if he was afraid that Su Wan would be sad.

"Madam?" Aunt Fang was also a little frightened, while comforting Zhao Shi, she secretly glanced at Su Wan's expression, for fear that Su Wan would be angered by Zhao Shi's attitude and blame her, and would not allow Fang Qiaoling to be released from prison.

"Sister, mother didn't mean that, she just... just..." Su Wen wanted to explain to Su Wan, but he didn't know how to explain, his face flushed red.

Su Wan just lowered her head slightly and did not speak.

Su Wen couldn't continue talking, and the room became quiet again.

Su Wan stood up and said to Mrs. Zhao: "If you have nothing else to do, then I'll go back first."

"Sister—" Su Wen's face showed anxiety and distress, and even the circles of his eyes were red.

Time flies so fast, the boy in front of her is actually about the same height as her, Su Wan wanted to touch his head, but in the end she could only give up, she just smiled at him and said: "Brother Wen, my sister made a special gift for you today." I brought a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, I hope you can study hard after entering the academy, and you will be named on the gold list in the future, and you will stand on top of the door, don't let me down."

"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely study hard and won't disappoint my sister." Su Wen blinked his sour eyes and said with a strong nasal voice.

When Mrs. Zhao heard Su Wan's words, her expression was slightly moved.

Su Wan told Su Wen that she was about to leave. Seeing this, Aunt Fang was very anxious. Seeing that Mrs. Zhao still refused to stay, she couldn't care less about other things, so she hurried forward and said: "Miss, please stay, Madam is just I'm in a bad mood, and I don't mean to push Miss out, even if Miss wants to leave, she has to finish her lunch before leaving?"

After she finished speaking, she cast a pleading look at Mrs. Zhao.

Zhao's goal has not been achieved yet, how could Su Wan leave at this time, she coughed lightly and said, "Your Aunt Fang is right, come back, and leave after lunch." Her voice seemed a little stiff and unnatural .

"Sister—" Su Wen also showed joy on his face, looking at Su Wan with hope.

Seeing Su Wen's expression, Su Wan couldn't bear to refuse, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she didn't make it.

In fact, deep down in Su Wan's heart, she didn't want to go back so soon, because outsiders would think that she was kicked out by the Zhao family, not only could not quell the rumors, but it would even intensify, so they stayed.

Seeing Su Wan came back, Aunt Fang breathed a sigh of relief, gave Mrs. Zhao a wink, and went to the kitchen to cook.

Mrs. Zhao probably felt that what she said just now was too much, and she didn't bother Su Wan anymore, and she absolutely refused to talk to her.

As for Su Wan, since Mrs. Zhao still refused to accept her, she didn't want to make fun of herself, so she also remained silent.

Su Wen, who was not very good at talking, now talked a lot. With him on the side to adjust the atmosphere, he didn't look so awkward.

After Aunt Fang cooked the meal, Mrs. Zhao and Su Wan didn't say a word.

The three of them spent their lunch in silence. During this time, Aunt Fang, who was waiting on the sidelines, winked at Mrs. Zhao many times. Mrs. Zhao pretended not to notice, and Aunt Fang was so anxious that she couldn't even keep the smile on her face.
