Chapter 304: Madam 3 has changed, and Master 3 has also changed.
When I arrived at the study door, I heard silence inside, no one was talking.
"My dad isn't in there?"
Su Qingwan asked the person standing at the door. He was the one who had been with her father for many years. His name was Chen Mu. If he was here, then Su Zhiru should be inside as well.
"Replying to Fourth Miss, Third Master and his wife are inside."
Su Qingwan pushed the door open and walked in, only to see Jiang sitting on a round chair with a book in her hand.
When she saw Su Qingwan coming in, she actually showed an expression of relief.
There was no sign of my father in the outer room. He should be resting on the couch in the inner room. After all, he was sick from being angry, right?
In addition to the scent of ink, there was also a bitter smell of medicine in the study. I guess Su Zhiru had just taken medicine.
"Qingwan, you're here." Jiang said.
"Well, where's my dad?"
I asked casually.
"He's lying inside. The doctor said he was stimulated and needs to rest." Jiang said calmly.
If it were usual, she would have gone to take care of him, but now she just came over to take a look.
I wanted to take a look and leave, but Su Zhiru stopped me. I didn’t know what was wrong with him.
"Then let Dad rest and let's go! Brother Wu brought back a leg of venison, so we can cook it in a pot and eat it."
Su Qingwan saw that Jiang wanted to leave, so she hurriedly spoke.
She had been able to hold out until now because of the old princess's face, and she didn't want them to know and get anxious.
"Okay, let's go!" Jiang immediately stood up and pulled Su Qingwan outside.
"Don't leave!"
Su Zhiru's voice came from the inner room, "Do they really want to go out?"
The head of the family is sick and lying in bed, but not only does he not come to take care of me, he is also just being lazy. This is simply outrageous.
Especially Jiang, who came in today, said something indifferent and was about to leave, and his expression was so cold that it made him uncomfortable.
Su Qingwan and Jiang looked at each other, and Jiang frowned.
"Don't worry about him, let's go." Jiang had been patient for a long time, but now after hearing Su Zhiru's voice, she felt annoyed for no reason.
"I told you not to leave! Madam, I am your husband. Your husband is sick, and not only do you not come to take care of him, you even avoid him? What on earth are you doing?" Su Zhiru propped himself up and sat up.
This action made him feel dizzy again, so his breathing became heavier.
Hearing the noise I made, Jiang would definitely come in to see me. After all, when I was sick before, Jiang would take care of me without taking off her clothes.
However, after waiting for a long time, no one came in, and he even heard the sound of the door opening.
"lady!
Su Zhiru called again.
"Master is not feeling well, so just lie down and rest." Jiang's voice came from outside the door. Su Qingwan gestured to Chen Mu and asked him to go in.
After hearing what Jiang said, Su Zhiru's face instantly darkened and his heart felt empty.
He felt like something was out of his control, which made him very uneasy. But for a moment, he didn't know what it was, so he didn't know where to start.
"Third Master, the young lady asked me to come in and serve you." The person guarding the door walked in and said.
"Do you think the lady has changed?" Su Zhiru asked Chen Mu with a frown. He had to get to the bottom of this matter.
Ouch!
Third Master, you have finally discovered that Third Madam has changed, but what’s the use of discovering it now?
The Third Madam doesn't even want to look at you now, and you are still wondering here!
Chen Mu kept complaining in his heart, but he was a servant and couldn't tell the third master directly, so he said:
"People change. I guess the Third Madam is also pissed off by Concubine Song."
Whenever Song Xiangzhi was mentioned, Su Zhiru felt as if a dark cloud was hanging over his head.
"What about that bitch? Has she been sold to Lichunyuan?"
Chen Mu really didn't know, so he quickly said, "I'll go ask."
"No need to go. I was just about to tell Dad about this." Su Qingwan said after returning.
She had just comforted Jiang with a few words, and after seeing her go to Fuguangyuan in a refreshed mood, she returned to the study. She still had to talk to her father about Song Xiangzhi's matter.
"Song Xiangzhi has been sent to Lichunyuan with her cousin's belongings. Also, she has changed her name to Yuling. We cannot let her go to Lichunyuan under the name of Song Xiangzhi, lest she lose the face of the Marquis' Mansion and your reputation."
Su Qingwan told the story of Song Xiangzhi.
"She changed her name, so where did my concubine go?" Su Zhiru asked.
"The concubine contracted an unknown acute illness and has passed away."
Su Qingwan believed that her father would be able to accept her arrangement, which was better than just sending the person over there rudely.
The reason why Su Qingwan did this was that she didn't want Su Zhiru's reputation to be damaged and affect the reputations of her elder brother and younger brother.
Sure enough, Su Zhiru immediately accepted this statement.
"Then let's do it this way!" Su Zhiru said, and then hesitantly asked: "Qingwan, has your mother changed recently?"
"My mother is busy learning how to manage the household, so things will naturally change. Besides, my mother says that men are unreliable."
"Nonsense! Why am I unreliable?" Su Zhiru retorted instantly.
He is the third master of the Marquisate, with a smooth career and a bright future. How come Jiang feels that he is unreliable?
"Then I don't know, but my mother has her own things to do now. She is happy every day. She doesn't have to worry about you, and she won't be sad because of what you do. That's enough."
"Dad, didn't you think my mom was too controlling in the past? If you didn't wear one piece of clothing, she would nag you for a long time. If you coughed, she would be even more worried about whether you caught a cold. Now, even if you take off all your clothes and run around outside, my mom won't care about you. As for whether you are sick or not, you always said before that you are old enough to tell such trivial matters. Now, of course, she doesn't need to worry about it. After all, dad likes to be free the most. Look, you are so free and happy now!"
"Hey, we still have to go out and buy jewelry tomorrow. Dad, you should have a good rest at home. I'm leaving!"
Su Qingwan spoke quickly, like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube. Then she bowed quickly and walked out without giving Su Zhiru time to react.
When she was speaking just now, Su Zhiru's face became darker and darker, almost as dark as the bottom of a pot.
This made Su Qingwan so happy!
If you don't cherish some things, they will be taken away soon, such as the love your mother has for your father. All the good things she did to him before were based on her love for him.
Now, I'm just treated as a wooden man.
After listening to what Su Qingwan said, Su Zhiru didn't say a word for a long time. His face became increasingly pale, and Chen Mu was so scared that he kept calling out to him.
"Do you think Jiang has changed?" Su Zhiru sighed and stared at Chen Mu with an unquestionable look, hoping to find an answer from him.
"I dare not speak!"
Chen Mu knelt on the ground respectfully, prostrating himself.
"You have followed me the longest. If even you dare not tell the truth, no one in this mansion dares to tell the truth."
Chen Mu's body trembled slightly when he heard this, and then he said respectfully: "The Third Madam has indeed changed, but the Madam did change after you changed your heart."
"how you said that?"
"Master, let me say something presumptuous. I know you best in this mansion, except for the Third Madam. Ever since you met Song Xiangzhi, you have been drifting away both physically and mentally."
Chen Mu said sincerely.
"Nonsense, which noble family doesn't have three wives and four concubines?"
Su Zhiru retorted coldly.
"That being said, have you ever considered the feelings of the Third Madam? Have you ever considered the feelings of the two brothers and the Fourth Miss? Have you ever forgotten the pain of losing your mother when you were young, how the old Kang family disliked you, and how your two brothers suppressed you?"
Chen Mu knocked his head to the ground, crying as he spoke. Thinking of how Third Master had also gone through hardships when he was a child, Chen Mu cried even more sadly: "Does Master want to inflict your childhood pain on your wife and your children?"
"you...."
Su Zhiru's eyes turned bloodshot, his whole body was shaking, and tears were streaming down his face without him noticing.
"Please think about it carefully. If I feel uncomfortable, you can beat me to death. I will tell you everything at the risk of my life. The Marquis' Mansion is a hell that eats people. You know it much better than I do. After the fourth young lady returned home, she managed the entire Marquis' Mansion in an orderly manner. My career is also going smoothly. Is this an excuse for the red sleeves to add fragrance to your life?"
"I...."
Su Zhiru's lips were trembling and for a moment he couldn't find any words to respond to Chen Mu.
"Master just asked me if Third Madam has changed. It is Third Madam who has changed. In the past, Third Madam was filial to her parents-in-law, got along well with her sisters-in-law, and treated Master wholeheartedly. Now Third Madam has realized that a mother should be strong. She is protecting her child. But what about you, Master? Not only did you fail to protect your own child, but you also made things worse for Third Madam. So the reason Third Madam changed is that you changed first, Master."
Chen Mu cried sincerely and expressed all the thoughts that had been pent up for a long time.
"I have finished speaking, Master. Please let me know if you want me to beat you or scold you."
"Chen Mu, please step down. I can't see things as clearly as you do. All these years in the officialdom have been in vain."
Su Zhiru waved his hand weakly, tears streaming down his face like crazy.
"Master, think carefully about what has happened over the years. I believe that you are just confused by the situation."
Chen Mu bowed again and walked out.
"I was wrong, cough cough cough"
Su Zhiru smiled sadly, his whole body trembled constantly, he was so angry that his cough became more and more severe, he could smell a rust in his mouth, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
"How should I face you?"
Su Zhiru thought of the past, and his sadness and pain burst to the extreme. He looked out the window with a dull expression...
PS: Song's plot is very simple, and he died miserably. The Third Master woke up belatedly, but he will pay a price for it. The theme returns to torturing the old Marquis Kang from the first and second houses!
