Houmen's step-wife

214 Chapter 4 Like Joy and Sadness ([-])
Su Wan was naturally happy when she heard the words, but she just told the medicinal materials to be locked up properly, and she must not be careless in the slightest.

Chen Yaqin smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, I will naturally not make such a mistake."

After saying that, she asked Su Wan to accept the bank note.

Su Wan pushed back the bank note and said, "I want to trouble my sister to buy me a house."

Chen Yaqin didn't refuse, and said: "That's true. Since my sister has decided to leave, she can't live here forever. There must be a place to stay in the future."

Actually, it's not that she never thought about letting Su Wan live in Dingyuanhou's mansion, but Dingyuanhou's mansion is also a big family with a lot of mixed people, and not all of them are kind to Su Wan, maybe there will be some conflicts, Su Wan doesn't live comfortably, she still needs a home of her own.

"What kind of house does my sister want?" Chen Yaqin asked.

"It's best to be in the inner city. It doesn't have to be too big. A house that can be accommodated two or three times is fine. It would be even better if you can bring a small garden. I don't know the housing prices in the capital. I wonder if the money is enough?" Su Wan said. .

Chen Yaqin thought for a while and said, "For a house in the inner city, if it is only a second-entry courtyard, it is only seven or eight hundred taels of silver. If it is a third-entry courtyard, 800 taels of silver is enough. Maybe you can buy two more servants. It's also convenient for guarding the door, sending messages, sweeping and so on." If it's not enough, she can just add some to Su Wan.

Chen Yaqin asked Su Wan about her requirements for the house again, and she didn't stop until she knew what she wanted.

"It's because my sister is thoughtful, and I made my sister bother." Su Wan said gratefully.

"Don't worry about it. If you treat me as your sister, don't say such things in the future." Chen Yaqin put away the banknotes and said with a white look at her.

Su Wan hugged her arm with a smile, and said affectionately: "Okay, I won't talk anymore, you are my real sister."

Only then was Chen Yaqin satisfied.After having lunch at Su Wan's place, Chen Yaqin left in a hurry.

Thinking that she was about to leave the Hou's Mansion, Su Wan couldn't help being excited, and she had a smile on her face almost every day.She was happy, and so were the maids. Behind Ma Shi and others' backs, they packed their things quietly, and only waited for the time to slip away.

But in the capital city, Changwuhou's mansion reported that Mrs. Changwuhou was seriously ill. Changwuhou's mansion even invited many famous doctors and imperial physicians to see Mrs. Changwuhou's doctor, but the situation was not very optimistic. It's more ominous than good.

Those who have dealt with Su Wan in the past can't help sighing when they hear this news, they feel that Mrs. Changwuhou is really a confidante, her life has just gotten better, and she has been sealed, and she has not had a few days of good life , is about to die of illness, the world is really impermanent.

But there were also those who lamented the poor fate of Madam Changwuhou, saying that she could not bear such a blessing, and that's why she got seriously ill.

Of course, there are some people who think it's strange, thinking that the back house is private, but it's nothing to do with themselves, and even if they suspect it, they can't go to meddle in their own business and ask for clarification. After all, no matter what, it's someone else home affairs.

Madam Changwuhou's serious illness was like a drop of water falling into the sea, and it didn't cause much waves at all.

However, some people did not know whether to be happy or sad when they heard the news.

Su's house.

When Mrs. Zhao heard the news that Mrs. Marquis Changwu was seriously ill, she was startled. She didn't care about drinking the medicine porridge. She just stared at Aunt Fang and asked, "What you said is true? She...is she really dying? "

Since Su Wan came to the Su residence last time, Mrs. Zhao has never seen her again, but after that, Su Wan sent someone to deliver money and things, and during the Dragon Boat Festival, she also sent a cart of things over.

Normally, she deliberately didn't inquire about Su Wan's news, and always thought that Su Wan was fine, and she accepted everything Su Wan sent with peace of mind. Perhaps, in her heart, it was all Su Wan owed her. Who let her occupy her daughter's body!

Dr. Li still often came to treat her illnesses, plus she was well taken care of by Chunlan and Chunyan, and she was taking herbal diet. Her condition was getting better day by day. Although she was not fully recovered, Mrs. Zhao's face was ruddy and she was fat now. It's a little bit better than before. I don't know how many times better than before, and my mental state is not much worse than the average person. I can even clean up the housework and make clothes for Su Wen.

Su Wen has now gone to Shoushan Academy, and her future is bright. Except for occasionally thinking about her daughter and complaining about Su Wan in her heart, at other times, she feels very satisfied and happy.

She often thinks that if the evil spirit occupying her daughter's body dies, her daughter might be able to come back. At that time, her daughter will be Mrs. Changwuhou, enjoying all the glory and wealth. A scholar, a scholar, and a Jinshi, just like Zen master Liaotong said, the future is limitless, so she will feel that there will be no regrets in life.

It's a pity that the one occupying her daughter's body is an evil spirit.

No matter how much that evil spirit did for her, it couldn't soften her heart.From her point of view, that was the murderer who killed her daughter. More than that, she snatched her daughter's body and status. How could she forgive her?
The better Su Wan treats her, the more she feels that she has a guilty conscience, or is deliberately doing it for outsiders to see.

Now that she heard the news that Su Wan was seriously ill, while she was shocked, she was also a little surprised——

Could it be that evil spirit is finally leaving her daughter's body and returning her daughter.

However, she was worried, if she died, would her daughter also die together?
Such and such made her heart completely tangled, not knowing whether to feel happy or sad.

Aunt Fang has served Mrs. Zhao for so long, so she naturally knows how she thinks of Su Wan. In fact, she is also very conflicted in her heart. She feels relieved and worried at the same time.

The relief is because Su Wan locked her daughter in the prison and has not been released yet, and the worry is because she is afraid that Su Wan will die, and no one will intercede for her daughter, so her daughter will not be able to get out.

The feelings of a master and a servant are inexplicably similar.

Aunt Fang said: "Ma'am, the young miss is indeed dying, and now the Marquis of Changwu is hiring an imperial doctor for her with great fanfare! It is said that she won't last for a few days."

After a pause, Aunt Fang carefully suggested: "Madam, do you think we should inform Brother Wen in the academy about this?"

Mrs. Zhao immediately frowned, and said, "What do you tell Brother Wen to do? What if Brother Wen's studies are delayed?"

But she knew that her son thought that the evil spirit was his sister, and she didn't know how sad it would be. She didn't want her son to cry and break his body.

"Then... ma'am, would you like to go to Changwuhou's Mansion?" Aunt Fang was not surprised by Zhao Shi's answer at all, and asked again.
