Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 60
Except for Lufu, of course.No matter what, she will keep Lufu by her side.

Lu Fu dared to take such a big risk to join her, and she couldn't let Lu Fu down, she must get her contract of sale as soon as possible.You know, every day that Lufu's contract of prostitution is in the hands of others, she will be in danger for one more day.

Although Lu Fu came out of the British government, it is presumed that the British government will not embarrass her too much in this matter. After all, it is their fault now.What's more, Lu Fu's contract of selling herself is now in Huo Lingyun's hands, as long as she asks for it, Huo Lingyun probably won't refuse.

She always wants to give her stepmother some face.

After thinking about it in her heart, Su Wan felt relieved and enjoyed this light and delicious breakfast.

Madam Tai ordered that no one should disturb her, Su Wan thought she could be clean for two days, but who knows, someone came to visit her just after she finished her breakfast.

The person who came was none other than Huo Lingyun, the eldest lady of Changwuhou Mansion.

Although Su Wan doesn't want to see anyone related to the British government yet, but after thinking about it, someone invited her in. She can't stop her from being filial, can she?Otherwise, it's her fault.

Huo Lingyun still has that elegant and generous appearance. She is young but has an extremely calm demeanor. Even though she understands Su Wan's conflicts with the British government in her heart, she seems to be completely ignorant, and her attitude towards Su Wan remains the same as before. Before, she didn't feel resentful towards Su Wan just because she was canonized as a first-class wife, at least Su Wan didn't see it.

"My daughter greets my wife, and my wife is blessed and safe." Huo Lingyun saluted Su Wan graciously.

"Get up quickly, there is no need to be polite." Su Wan also had a very gentle attitude, as she said, she motioned for Zijing to help her up, and gave her a seat.

Since people treated her respectfully, she was happy to live in peace with her.

"Is your wife better?" Huo Lingyun immediately asked with concern after she left her seat.

Su Wan smiled and said, "It's much better, thank you for your concern."

"That's good." Huo Lingyun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then said with some self-blame: "My daughter heard that my wife is not in good health, and I am very worried. Although I know that my wife should rest at this time, I still can't help thinking about it. I want to visit my wife, speaking of it, my daughter is reckless. If I disturb my wife's recuperation, it is really my daughter's fault."

The expression and tone of voice were very sincere and natural, as if from the bottom of the heart, such an attitude made Su Wan's evaluation of her higher in her heart, and at the same time, she became more jealous. Although she wouldn't do anything to her, but her little At such a young age, she already has such a city and such determination, which cannot be underestimated, and Su Wan has no choice but to be on guard against her.

After all, the heart of hurting others is indispensable, and the heart of defense is indispensable.

The positions and situations of the two of them made it impossible for them to really get close.

"You are also worried about me, so you don't need to blame yourself." Su Wan said with a smile, "Even if Mrs. Tai knows about this, she will definitely not blame you."

Only then did Huo Lingyun show a reassuring smile, and the two talked for a while. Huo Lingyun is very knowledgeable, whether it is poetry, poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting, or local customs and customs, she can say a few words. It's hard for her to know so much.

Seeing the tiredness on Su Wan's face, Huo Lingyun finally planned to leave, but before leaving, she gave Su Wan a special gift.

"This is..." Su Wan took the beautifully crafted wooden box from Huo Lingyun, looked at her suspiciously and asked.

"My wife will know after opening it." Huo Lingyun smiled lightly, "I believe my wife will like it."

Su Wan opened the box and saw that there was a stack of thick and somewhat old paper inside, and there was a booklet underneath. Su Wan's heart moved and she understood, but she still picked them up and looked through them. , It really is a contract of sale.

Huo Lingyun explained: "This is the deed of sale of the servants who were dowry by my wife at the beginning, and the dowry list of my wife. Among them, in addition to the deeds of sale of some maids and women, there are also deeds of sale of several servants, all of which belonged to my wife at the time. The dowry is just that they are currently taking care of the dowry of the wife's dowry, if the wife wants to see them, she can summon them at any time."

She actually gave Su Wan the dowry and servants accompanied by the British government, and returned it back intact.

Although Su Wan's dowry back then was far inferior to Su Qingqian's, it was definitely quite a lot. There was no shortage of farms, shops, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, medicinal materials, etc. There were a total of 48 dowries.Except for the ordinary furniture used by Su Wan, the others are high-quality goods, because at the beginning Princess Shouning obviously prepared a dowry for Su Wan, but in fact, it was to be given to her two grandchildren.

But Huo Lingyun returned all these things to Su Wan without the slightest hesitation or reluctance, even without blinking her eyes, as if what she gave away was not a valuable property, but just something insignificant.

Such courage at such a young age cannot be underestimated.

It's a pity that Su Wan doesn't want anything other than Lu Fu's contract of selling herself.

Because she has always believed that there is no free lunch in the world.

Back then, Su Wan'er went to seek help from the British government to save her mother, what was the result?Didn't she pay a heavy price?
How could she make the same mistake again with the lessons learned from the past?
What's more, he is short-handed and soft-mouthed when he eats people.If she accepts these things, will she be able to face the British government with confidence in the future?Can you still stick to your position and confidence?I'm afraid I can't even straighten my waist?

Thinking of this, Su Wan smiled slightly, closed the box and said, "What are you doing, Miss? This is something that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess left to you brothers and sisters. You and I know this well. Although I have no family background, I also It’s not so hungry that you want to grab everything from the younger generation!”

Su Wan's refusal obviously shocked Huo Lingyun, and she was even a little bit at a loss. Her eyes widened, and she was a little more cute at her age, but immediately, her surprise was replaced by embarrassment and embarrassment— —

"Mrs……"

Su Wan slightly raised her hand to stop her words, and said: "I know, you did it out of kindness, and I didn't mean to blame you. It's just that I have my own principles in my heart. I won't give up what belongs to me. Others, but I don't want things that don't belong to me."

Su Wan's words made Huo Lingyun a little distracted, and also a little embarrassed to be seen through.It's not that she doesn't care about money, it's just that she knows how to choose. Unfortunately, she didn't expect that Su Wan was far smarter and firmer than she imagined. She was not tempted by gold and silver, which made her look at Su Wan with admiration.
