Chapter 160 A Special Place
Chen was so angry that she laughed. She thought she was smart all her life, so how could she give birth to such a stupid daughter!
"Wan'er, do you know what good things she has done?" Chen's voice was as cold as ice, and there was pain in her questioning.
Su Wan turned her gaze to Chuncha, who was keeping her head down and saying nothing, her heart full of doubts.
"She stole the money?" Su Wan asked tentatively.
"Stealing money? She stole your husband's heart!" Chen almost roared, her anger evident in her words.
Su Wan suddenly turned to Shen Jinghong, her eyes full of shock and disbelief. How could this be possible?
She always thought their love was indestructible.
"Mom, are you kidding? How could Shen Lang betray me?" Su Wan's voice trembled, finding it hard to accept this fact.
"I saw it with my own eyes! It was in this study!" Chen emphasized in a firm tone.
Su Wan's gaze was focused on Shen Jinghong again, only to see him evasive and lowering his head guiltily. This silent acquiescence was more hurtful than any excuse.
"Isn't this considered betrayal? Isn't it common for a man to have three wives and four concubines?" Mrs. Li whispered quietly, trying to excuse her son, but to Su Wan, these remarks undoubtedly made the situation worse.
Su Wan felt dizzy, which meant that what her mother said was true, Shen Lang really had an affair with Chun Cha behind her back!
He said he would study hard and not get close to women, but he ended up with that woman...
How did all this become like this?
In her previous life, Chuncha was Su Rao's right-hand man. Why in this life, was she so cruel as to take away her lover?
I once saved her from danger, how could she repay my kindness with resentment and do such an ungrateful thing?
This is clearly inviting a wolf into the house!
Su Wan's thoughts were a tangled mess, as if the whole world was collapsing. Her heart was filled with endless hatred, and she wished she could tear Chuncha into pieces.
He was also furious with Shen Jinghong.
In his previous life, he was loyal to Su Rao, and I finally won all his love. Why did everything change in the blink of an eye?
She was confused and bewildered, not knowing what went wrong. Was it really because she didn't know people well?
No, never!
It must be Chuncha, that ungrateful woman, who deliberately seduced Shen Lang!
"Shen Lang, did she seduce you on purpose?" Su Wan's voice trembled, her eyes full of pleading and despair.
Shen Jinghong's face flushed slightly, and he could hardly hide his embarrassment. He thought to himself, throughout history, it has been common for men to have three wives and four concubines. What's wrong with that?
However, the reality of his situation forced him to restrain his thoughts.
He has not yet gained a place in the imperial examination, and his food, clothing, housing and transportation all rely on the protection of the Su family, which forces him to bow his head.
He nodded slightly.
Chuncha stood there in a daze for a moment, obviously not expecting such an outcome.
Su Wan, on the other hand, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her.
Then she quickly stepped forward and punished Chuncha, with determination revealed in her punches and kicks.
All of this was seen by Chen.
She knew very well that both parties were responsible for this dispute. It seemed that this son-in-law was not as perfect as her daughter said.
But it has happened, what can we do?
We can only place our hopes on the future, hoping that next spring, our son-in-law will win the championship and bring honor to the family.
Otherwise, my daughter's happiness would be forever buried in the quagmire of this marriage.
In the end, Chuncha was forced to leave the Shen family's gate, and her figure gradually walked away and disappeared at the corner at the end of the alley.
After these twists and turns, the relationship between Su Wan and Shen Jinghong regained its balance, and everything seemed to have returned to peace.
……
At the same time, the Shen family was in constant turmoil. In comparison, the mansion where Su Rao lived seemed much quieter.
Su Rao stepped into the courtyard where her mother Zhao lived. Everything here was so familiar and warm.
Chen has always been good at observing people's words and expressions. With the disappearance of Prince Yi and the subtle change in Su Rao's status, her attitude towards Zhao became harsh and strict, and she even cancelled the already limited daily supplies.
Seeing this, Zhao hurriedly comforted her daughter: "Rao'er, you gave me the money, just ask the servants to buy anything you need, we still have to go on with our lives."
Chen's emotions are unpredictable, sometimes warm as spring, sometimes cold as ice.
From these subtle changes, Zhao could always vaguely feel the ups and downs of her daughter's life. Especially recently, Chen's drastic mood swings made Zhao feel like a heavy stone was pressing on her heart. It was not until she saw with her own eyes that her daughter was safe and sound that the heaviness in her heart was relieved.
"Is there any trouble in the palace?" Zhao asked with concern, her eyes full of worry.
"The prince encountered some minor trouble, but he has escaped danger now. It's just that the days ahead may be a little difficult. Everything will be fine when the prince returns." Su Rao answered calmly.
After hearing this, Zhao nodded slightly, feeling a little relieved: "That's good."
The mother and daughter chatted about family matters in a warm atmosphere.
Suddenly, Zhao seemed to remember something important.
"Rao'er, today is the sixth day of the New Year, right?" Zhao's voice was filled with a hint of uncertainty.
Su Rao nodded slightly, confirming her mother's guess.
"Then tomorrow is the seventh day of the first lunar month, the seventh day of December." Zhao chewed on the date over and over again.
"Rao'er, can you stay at home tonight?" Although Zhao's words were a question, the expectation flashing in her eyes was hard to conceal.
Su Rao nodded gently and agreed: "I want to stay at home with you for a few more days."
A bright smile spread across Zhao's face: "Okay, mother will take you to a special place tomorrow."
In the afternoon, Su Rao took a short nap in the warm sunshine.
When the afterglow of dusk filled the room, Zhao walked into the house with a face full of joy.
"Rao'er, I have good news." Zhao pretended to be mysterious, with excitement flashing in her eyes.
Su Rao's curiosity was completely aroused: "What good news?"
"I heard that Su Wan's dowry was stolen by her personal maid, who ran away overnight. Chen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and was trying every means to catch the person." There was a hint of gloating in Zhao's tone.
Recalling the scene when the two sisters got married at the same time, the treatment of Su Rao and Su Wan was completely different.
Su Wan's dowry was extremely generous, but he himself had almost nothing.
Things change unpredictably, and now Su Wan's dowry has disappeared. Is this the cycle of cause and effect?
A complex emotion surged in Su Rao's heart. First, she was betrayed by the person closest to her, and then her dowry was looted. Su Wan's situation undoubtedly fell from grace.
For Su Wan, the only hope now may be whether Shen Jinghong can become the top scorer in the high school entrance examination next year and change the fate of both of them.
But without Su Wan's encouragement, can Shen Jinghong still maintain his hard work and determination and become famous in one fell swoop?
……
The next morning, just as the sky was turning pale, Zhao gently woke up Su Rao.
