Chapter 126 Suyun's Trouble
Song Sanniang and her daughter arrived at the gate of Su's mansion, no, it should be said that Su's residence, in ancient times there was a strict system for family background.
Only the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles could use the word "mansion", while ordinary wealthy families could only use "house". There were also regulations on the construction of the gate. Family's like the Su family could only have a single-bay gate.
Song Lao Er raised the door knocker and knocked on the door, but no one came. He knocked a few more times, and a man in his thirties finally opened the door.
Seeing Song Sanniang and her daughter standing outside the door, he asked curiously, "Who are you two?"
"Please inform the master that someone from the Song family in Xiantao Mansion has come to redeem Qin Yuanyuan from the mansion." Song Lao Er replied, and then gave the man a small piece of silver.
The man took the silver and said with a smile, "Wait a minute, I'll go tell my wife." He closed the door and went to tell her. The father and daughter waited at the door of Su's house.
"Dad, do you think the Su family will let us redeem Yuanyuan?" Song Sanniang always felt that this trip would not be smooth, because the Su family bought Qin Yuanyuan back to be a dowry maid, and it was a bit sudden for them to come to redeem her at this time.
"It should be possible. I heard from people nearby that the Su family doesn't seem to be the kind of people who can't tell right from wrong." Song Lao Er said uncertainly, so the father and daughter discussed for a while at the door what to do if the Su family really refused to redeem them.
After a while, the man opened the door again and let Song Laoer and his daughter in, and Song Laoer and his daughter followed him in.
When Chen heard the doorman come to report that someone from Xiantao Mansion was coming to redeem Qin Yuanyuan, she couldn't remember who Qin Yuanyuan was. Madam Chai, who was in charge of personnel transfers in the mansion, told Chen.
Only then did Chen remember that Biyue was Qin Yuanyuan. She thought that since someone came to redeem her, she should let her go home.
She asked Madam Chai to notify the doorman to let Song Lao Er and his daughter in, and at the same time asked the maid beside her to notify the eldest lady and ask Bi Yue to come over.
When Chen's maid came to the eldest lady of the Su family to pass on the message, Suyun was also there. When she heard that she wanted to redeem Biyue, she was so jealous that her eyes turned red.
She gnashed her teeth and cursed in her heart, why was she sold into the mansion? She could read, the lady treated her with respect, and everyone liked her. Now someone wanted to redeem her, why!
She is getting more and more angry and wants to mess up the matter!
After the maidservant beside Chen left, she leaned close to Miss Su's ear and said, "Miss, you can't let Biyue go. You see, your wedding date is approaching. If you send Biyue away, where will you find an obedient and literate maidservant to marry you?
Bi Yue wants to leave now, which clearly shows that she doesn't take you seriously. If she gets out later, relying on her ability to read and her freedom, she will definitely suppress you."
Miss Su is the first girl in the family, so she has been favored since she was young. Although she has two younger sisters, only the third sister is born to the same mother as her.
The second young lady was born out of wedlock. She knew that she was born out of wedlock and was the daughter of a merchant family. She might not marry well in the future. So she studied very hard, hoping to make up for the shortcomings of her family background with her talent.
This really made Mr. Su very happy. He often praised Second Miss Su for being studious and even hired female teachers for all three of them. Unfortunately, only Second Miss Su followed suit, while the other two were half-hearted. This often caused Mr. Su and First Madam Su to argue about this matter.
Su Yun was very good at understanding people's minds, so she specifically mentioned Bi Yue's literacy to Miss Su. In addition, Bi Yue was a quiet person and worked honestly around Miss Su.
So in Miss Su's eyes, it was confirmed that Bi Yue was arrogant and looked down on the Miss Su's slander. Now her adding fuel to the fire made Miss Su even more unhappy.
She hated people who were seeking fame and reputation like her second sister the most, so she listened to Suyun's words and asked Suyun to report to her mother that she was about to get married, and sending away the maid who came with her dowry would be a loss of face for her. She wanted Biyue to be her dowry and could not let her go.
After hearing this, Suyun smiled triumphantly and went to Chen's meeting place to reply in high spirits.
Chen had already started chatting with Song Laoer and his daughter. Although Song Laoer was a stranger, with Song Sanniang around, it was not out of line.
Song Laoer and his daughter came to redeem Qin Yuanyuan in the name of a distant relative. When Chen heard that Qin Yuanyuan was drugged and sold by her stepmother, she was also shocked.
If Song Laoer and the others had come a little later, Qin Yuanyuan might have married his daughter.
She was not a bad person. When she heard that Qin Yuanyuan's parents had died, the three siblings depended on each other for survival, were bullied by their stepmother, and were finally separated from each other,
She just felt a sigh, thinking that letting her go home and reuniting the three of them would be considered a good deed and a merit.
"Luckily you two arrived in time. When Biyue returns home, the brothers and sisters will be reunited. I will feel relieved." Chen smiled and said to Song Laoer and the others.
"Mrs. Su, you are so kindhearted. Our Yuanyuan is so lucky to be sold to your family.
Our family in Xiantao Prefecture makes sweet soup. If we open a shop in Guangling Prefecture, Madam Su must come to our shop to taste it."
Song Sanniang also replied with a smile, and by the way, she was paving the way in advance, as her dessert shops would be opened all over the country in the future.
Su Yun heard the laughter coming from the hall. She laughed sarcastically at first, then she restrained her smile and walked in.
When Chen saw that it was Suyun who came in and Biyue hadn't followed, her face darkened.
Suyun first bowed to Chen, glanced at Song Laoer and his daughter, and then reported,
"Madam, the eldest lady said she couldn't bear to leave Biyue. She wants to marry Biyue to the Gu family as they are getting married soon."
She wouldn't be stupid enough to actually say what the eldest lady said. She just needed to use the eldest lady as a raft to let the lady know that the eldest lady didn't want Bi Yue to leave.
Chen's face darkened completely, and she asked in a deep voice, "Is that what the eldest lady said?"
Suyun heard the unkindness in Chen's tone, so she hurriedly added, "The eldest lady said that the wedding date is coming soon, and she can't read many words yet. She wants to take Biyue with her and let Biyue teach her how to read.
She also said that Biyue had a gentle temperament and that she liked Biyue very much and she didn’t want Biyue to leave.”
When Song Sanniang heard this, she knew that Miss Su was unwilling to let him go. She did not rush. She smiled and said,
"It seems that our Yuanyuan is very popular with the eldest lady. I think they have developed feelings for each other during this period of time. We will go back first.
Leave some time for Yuanyuan to say goodbye to the eldest lady. Yuanyuan can also interact with the eldest lady when she leaves the house. Isn't this better? Madam Su, we will come to bother you again the day after tomorrow." After saying goodbye,
Chen was not stupid. She knew that Song Sanniang was retreating to advance. However, she had already said it, so she would definitely not be the evil person who separated the siblings. So she agreed with a smile, and then asked someone to send Song Laoer and his daughter out of the house.
