Chapter 130 Finally woke up
"Thanks to your five hundred taels of silver, Zhao'er and I were able to safely get through last year's cold winter. I also met Huizhen, and through Huizhen, I got to know Brother Wang and his family.
During the New Year, Brother Wang took the initiative to teach Zhaoer for more than a month, and helped me find a house in Lincheng after the New Year.
Brother Wang's parents are also very good people. With their help, I was able to successfully escape from the woman I was staying with.
Then I went to Lincheng and started some small business to make a living, and slowly life got better.”
"Then why did you come to the capital again?" Su Cheng'an asked directly.
"Because I've been targeted by Mr. Li from Lincheng. He wants to bring me to the capital as a honey trap and give me to a noble in the capital to gain benefits for his eldest brother."
When Su Cheng'an heard about the beauty trap, his face turned dark. The girl he was reluctant to touch was actually used as a plaything by someone to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy, and was allowed to be molested at will.
He suppressed the anger in his stomach and asked in a cold voice, "Who is that big brother?"
"Li Boqian, the current Minister of Personnel."
Jin Chu returned to the main topic and recounted in detail how he had successfully boarded the ship with the help of Wang Weiyuan's title as the newly crowned champion, and how he had gotten to know the women of the Qin family through the relationship between Wang Weiyuan and Qin Shijun.
Finally, she said to Su Cheng'an, who was looking down in thought, "I have honestly told you everything about my life over the past fifteen years. Is there anything else you would like to ask?"
Su Cheng'an shook his head and looked at Jin Chu solemnly for confirmation. "Have you truly made up your mind? If you hesitate now, I can pretend that I have never heard anything today and will not threaten you with it in the future. Even if we, the Dingbei Palace, have to fight, we will never harm a surviving hero."
Although he knew that the prince was quite arrogant, Jin Chu still felt relieved after hearing his words. Following such a master, at least in the future, when fighting, he would not have to worry about being stabbed in the back.
She met Su Cheng'an's gaze calmly and answered firmly once again, "Don't worry, my lord. Although Jinchu is a girl, she also understands the principle of 'a wise bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a virtuous minister chooses a master to serve.' Choosing the Dingbei Palace is a decision I made after careful consideration. Regardless of success or failure in the future, I will not regret it!"
"Okay, if you don't leave, I will never abandon you!" Su Cheng'an promised word by word.
Jin Chu smiled and said, "Then let's talk about our plan to go to the Du Mansion again today!"
Su Cheng'an thought for a moment and then slowly said, "Grandmother has two capable maids by her side, one named Chunqian and the other Qiunong. They should be the ones taking care of her during the day."
Jin Chu repeated the two people's names several times and memorized them.
"My eldest aunt and second aunt will also be there. All you have to do is pass the news about my grandmother to my eldest aunt, and have her find a way to pass it on to my eldest uncle and grandfather."
Jin Chu nodded and asked, "Do your grandfather and uncle know that there are so many spies in the Du Mansion?"
Su Cheng'an was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "My grandfather was the Minister of Revenue, and my uncle was the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple for many years. How could they not know that there were spies planted everywhere in the mansion?"
Yes, people who can reach high positions should have high IQ and EQ. It is not possible that the whole house is almost leaking like a sieve and they are still unaware of it.
As Jin Chu was thinking this, Su Cheng'an's voice suddenly rang out again: "Grandfather and uncles have no choice but to do this because of the Dingbei Palace. Rather than letting that man and his followers be wary and suspicious, it would be better to open the palace and let them see it all the time. This would also save Grandfather and uncles from having to deal with the suspicions of various forces all day long!"
"But they didn't expect that my capable mother who had been with my grandmother for decades was actually a hidden spy, and this hidden spy was so heartless that he dared to poison the old lady!" After saying this, Su Cheng'an sighed.
"Okay, I understand. Tell me everything you know about the people in the mansion. Let's see if there's any way. Let's go into the mansion today and check on the old lady."
"it is good."
So the two of them sat together and continued to whisper.
At the same time, in the main courtyard of the Du Mansion, the eldest lady Qin, who had just finished handling the household chores, was rubbing her brows with a tired look on her face. Ever since the old lady fainted, she had been living a miserable life these past few days.
"How was the old lady last night?" Qin asked her trusted maid, Mama Chen.
"This old servant just learned from Qiu Nong of Shoukang Hall that although the old lady was still unconscious last night, she regained consciousness and cooperated when she was given medicine this morning."
"Is it true?" The listless lady suddenly raised her head, a gleam of light flashing in her eyes.
"It was Miss Qiu Nong who said it, so it must be true. When I asked, Miss Chun Qian next to her also nodded repeatedly." Mother Chen replied with a smile.
The eldest lady stood up and said, "I have to go see the old lady myself. If she really wakes up, it will be a great blessing for our family! Not only will the master be happy, but our aunt will also be able to rest assured!"
As she spoke, she lifted her skirt and walked out, followed by her personal maid.
They hurried to Shoukang Hall. The old lady was still lying at the head of the bed. The two maids, Chunqian and Qiunong, were serving by her side. When they saw the eldest lady, they hurriedly bowed.
The eldest lady waved her hand to stop and went closer to take a closer look at the old lady. Compared to the paleness of yesterday, the old lady looked obviously better today.
Before the eldest lady could ask the question, she saw the old lady on the bed suddenly move, then opened her eyes, with an uncomfortable expression on her face.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the eldest lady hurried to help the old lady. The moment she reached out her hand, the old lady's body tilted and she vomited a large mouthful of red and black mucus.
Everyone was shocked and delighted. They were shocked at how she could vomit out such a filthy thing, but they were delighted that after vomiting out the thing, the old lady actually woke up.
"Mother-in-law, are you awake?" The eldest lady's face was full of joy. She didn't care about the dirt splashed on her dress. She helped Old Lady Du lie down with her own hands, staring at the old woman in front of her, fearing that she would close her eyes and faint again.
Perhaps God heard her prayers. Old Mrs. Du slowly exhaled, and her half-closed eyelids slowly lifted up, revealing a pair of eyes that were silent but not turbid.
The old lady glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law beside her and said softly, "Don't worry, Yu Niang. Mother won't be able to leave for a while."
As the word "Yu Niang" came out, the worry that had been suppressed in the eldest lady's heart for many days suddenly had a place to vent. Looking at her kind-hearted mother-in-law, her eyes became wet again.
Thinking that the old lady had just woken up, she hurriedly instructed the two older maids, "Chun Qian, go and bring the old lady a bowl of porridge that is easy to digest."
Chun Qian left in response. Old Madam Du grabbed the eldest lady's hand and whispered, "Yu Niang, I dreamed of A Rui last night."
The eldest lady comforted him, "Dreams are born from the heart. Mother-in-law and my aunt haven't seen each other for eight years. Mother and daughter love each other deeply. When you have recovered, let's write to my aunt and ask her to come back to see you."
Old Madam Du gave a bitter laugh and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to see my Rui'er again in this lifetime!"
