Chapter 210 Who is back?
Xiaokang already had a guilty conscience, and she was also not feeling well. When she heard what Su Qingwan said, she felt cold all over, and the hairs on her back stood up. She looked around in panic.
"You, stop talking nonsense. These rumors are all false." Xiaokang said hurriedly.
Nanny Ji also looked at Su Qingwan with an unhappy face.
"Fourth Miss, those are just nonsense from the countryside. You'd better not believe them, lest these words get to the old lady's ears and make her unhappy."
"The master is speaking, do you have the right to speak as a dead old woman?"
Aunt Rong was standing next to Nanny Ji. After hearing what she said, she simply slapped Nanny Ji on the back, causing her to stagger and almost fall.
Su Qingwan glanced at Nanny Ji and then turned her gaze away coldly.
"Second aunt, you are the second wife of the Marquis' Mansion after all. Why are the people around you so unruly? How about I take her back and help you discipline her for two days and then send her back." Su Qingwan said.
This made Xiaokang very angry!
Su Qingwan, the person who knows the least about rules, actually said the word "rules" to me. How ridiculous!
Besides, Nanny Ji is my personal servant. If she says to take her away, then she can be taken away. Isn't that just slapping myself in the face?
"You don't need to worry about it! If you have the free time, you should take good care of the people serving you." Xiaokang glared at Aunt Rong.
"Aunt Rong is not a servant. She is different from Aunt Ji." Su Qingwan's words made Xiaokang so angry that her liver ached.
She is in so much pain!
Why was I forced to see that bitch Su Qingwan even though I was sick?
"Second aunt, don't take what I said lightly. After all, such rumors cannot be groundless. What if they are true? Who knows? Uncle Kang may not want to leave you and will come to see you tonight!" Su Qingwan said again.
"Don't be so sensational, ignorant woman!"
A young man's voice came from outside the house, followed by a burst of hurried footsteps.
Su Qingwan didn't know who came, but she saw Xiaokang sat up straight and even put on her shoes and walked out.
But just as she put her feet down, a figure walked out from behind the lotus screen.
This man looked to be about the same age as the eldest brother Su Yuewen, but not as tall as him. However, he seemed to eat well, had a double chin and a fair face.
He was wearing a light grey brocade robe with dark patterns and a black belt around his waist, which made his belly look very round. He held a scholar's fan in his hand, which made him look quite refined.
Su Qingwan's eyes moved, it turned out to be him!
Su Yueqi, the eldest son of the second branch of the Su family, was placed with high hopes by Xiaokang since he was young, and it was believed that he would definitely pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar.
In the previous life, not long after the people from the third branch of their family returned to the Marquis' Mansion, Su Yueqi also returned to the Marquis' Mansion. He said that the academy was on a long vacation, and he never went back.
Later it was learned that Su Yueqi had a conflict with someone in the academy, and fearing retaliation, he returned to the marquis' mansion to hide.
After that, he stayed in the marquis's mansion and never went to Mount Li Academy again. However, he could not neglect his studies, so he spent a large sum of money to hire a famous scholar to teach him.
In this life, after Su Qingwan and the others returned to the Marquis' Mansion, it had been the time when Su Yueqi had a conflict with others, and he still hadn't come back. She thought that Su Yueqi didn't have a conflict with others and would stay in the academy honestly.
"Son! Why are you back? It's not even the academy's holiday season yet!"
Xiao Kang had never expected that her son would come back suddenly. She was very surprised and asked hurriedly.
"Mom, with such a big thing happening at home, how can I stay away from home forever? I have already made an agreement with the academy to stay at home for a while."
Su Yueqi bowed to Xiaokang and said this, but he did not say when he would return to the academy.
Xiaokang obviously didn't notice this problem, but Su Qingwan discovered it.
Perhaps Su Yueqi suddenly returned to the Marquis' Mansion, just like in his previous life, because he had a conflict with someone in the academy, and he just happened to encounter the incident with Campbell, so he used the excuse of attending the funeral.
After hearing what Su Yueqi said, Xiaokang's eyes immediately filled with tears again.
After her son came back, she felt like she had found someone to support her. Although she was crying, she felt much more at ease.
"Oh! I guess this must be my second brother? They say nephews look like their uncles, and it's true. Look at these eyes, this nose, this mouth. If my second brother wasn't young, I would have thought it was the Kang family's uncle who came back to life!" Su Qingwan said with a smile, her words were indeed full of surprise and a bit of intimacy.
When Xiaokang heard what Su Qingwan said, she was so angry that she fell backwards, but there was really no reason to find fault with what she said.
This bitch is deliberately trying to annoy me!
Xiao Kang quickly gathered his thoughts and said:
"Fourth girl, this is your second brother Su Yueqi."
After that, he said to Su Yueqi: "This girl is your third uncle's daughter. She just returned to the Marquis' Mansion this year. She came back from the countryside of Mo Nan."
When Su Yueqi came in just now, he saw Su Qingwan and thought she was even more beautiful than Su Yunrou. But when he thought of what he heard behind the screen, his impression of Su Qingwan fell to the bottom.
This fourth sister, who had just returned to the Marquis' Mansion not long ago, actually used country rumors to scare her mother. How abominable!
"You are Su Qingwan who has been kept outside. You have a good mouth."
Su Yueqi raised his hand and threw the folding fan on the table with a snap. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Qingwan unkindly.
"Second brother is right. Without this good mouth, I wouldn't be able to come here and talk to Second Aunt to relieve her boredom." Su Qingwan said with a smile.
Su Yueqi didn't expect her to say that, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether she really didn't understand what he said.
"But second aunt, today is the day of the funeral of the young uncle of the Kang family. Now that his nephew is back, why not let him go and see him off."
Su Qingwan didn't give Su Yueqi a chance to speak and directly asked Su Yueqi to go to the funeral.
"I have my own arrangements, you don't need to say more." Su Yueqi said dissatisfiedly.
"Okay, Second Aunt, I'm leaving now. What I just said are just country rumors. Don't take them seriously."
Before Su Qingwan left, she mentioned the rumor again so that Xiaokang would remember it clearly.
Soon she left the second house's yard, and Zhenzhu and Aunt Rong naturally followed her.
As soon as she came out, Aunt Rong started muttering angrily.
"Miss, I don't think the second young master is a good guy. He came back and started to talk back at us."
Su Qingwan smiled gently. She had to admit that Aunt Rong was quite good at judging people.
Not long after they walked out, they met Su Lihan.
As soon as Su Lihan saw Su Qingwan, she rushed over angrily.
"Su Qingwan, you shameless thing, bring here the things my grandmother gave you." Su Lihan shouted.
Su Qingwan burst out laughing.
"Fifth sister, are you crazy? Why should I take out the things that Grandma Kang gave me? They are already mine, especially the hot spring villa. I was planning to go there to play when it snowed in winter."
She deliberately mentioned the hot spring resort, and sure enough, Su Lihan's eyes turned red and she pointed at Su Qingwan angrily.
"That was something my grandmother wanted to give me. You must have tricked her into giving it to me."
