Chapter 98: Crushing to Dust

Su Wan’s eyelashes trembled, she looked down at Old Lady Su. Her face full of wrinkles, radiating a loving smile, and her peaceful eyes showing infinite tolerance, as if no matter what she did, Old Lady Su would indulge her.

A warm current flowed through her heart, Su Wan held Old Lady Su’s dry hands with both hands, her eyes were like water, and her voice involuntarily softened: “Grandmother, I don’t have much, except for the dowry you and mother left me, I have nothing. So whatever is mine, no one else can take it away, I want to get it back with interest.”

Old Lady Su’s heart was crushed, she gently hugged Su Wan into her arms, and stroked her head lovingly: “You want to get back your dowry, grandmother will help you.”

“You take good care of your health, I will handle the dowry matter myself.” Su Wan nestled in the old lady Su’s arms, her heart was peaceful, “I have grown up, I will not be deceived by them again, don’t worry that I will be bullied.”

Old lady Su spoke after a long time: “Okay.”

Su Wan left quietly to take a bath in the next room when Old Lady Su was pretending to sleep.

Old lady Su heard the sound of the curtain falling, slowly opened her eyes, and her muddy eyes were sharp, “Wanwan is back, what’s the news about that woman?”

The old maid was not aware of the situation, because when Su Wan arrived, Old Lady Su’s health had taken a turn for the worse.

However, her(The old maid) granddaughter Xiao Tao came in. Her round face revealed a sweet smile, and she joyfully replied: “Old Lady, the lady met the young lady at the door and suffered a setback. Now everyone in the capital knows that the princess is a concubine’s daughter. The lady used to be a maid in the mansion and climbed onto the master’s bed, and was driven out of our marquis’s mansion.”

Xiao Tao’s eyebrows were about to fly up with joy, she chattered, “The young lady is really amazing, the lady can’t bully her in the future, no one speaks ill of the young lady anymore, everyone sympathizes with her, and they all scold the lady and the princess.”

Don’t mention how relieved she was.

Old Lady Su had a thought in her heart, coughed a few times, and came up with an idea.

The old maid took a look and understood in her heart, “What do you plan to do?”

“The reputation of Qinglan and her daughter is ruined, it seems that their days of wealth and honor won’t last long. My Wanwan has now opened her eyes, she won’t be deceived by them to turn against me.”

Old Lady Su was full of regret and heartache, “I shouldn’t have argued with her, left her alone to go to the temple, and then she was bullied by this mother and daughter, and married to a remote and poor countryside.

Her days seem to be very hard, when she comes over later, ask her if she wants to leave Xinghua Village. If she wants to leave, we will compensate the Gu family, change her name and surname for her, send her out of the capital, and start life anew.”

The old maid thought of Su Wan’s wrinkled coarse cloth clothes, where was the vitality of the past?

She felt a pang in her heart and nodded repeatedly.

After giving her instructions, old lady Su fell into a deep sleep.

In the Wei Rui Pavilion.

Qinglan sat on the soft couch, grabbing a soft pillow and beating it to vent her anger, her beautiful face twisted, and she wished she could crush Su Wan to dust.

In just a while, there was a storyteller in the teahouse who turned her affairs into a story and told it, giving a tragic ending, winning a round of applause. Fortunately, considering the identity of Su Mixue, the princess, he didn’t dare to say half a word about her.

Qinglan wished she could kill the storyteller.

But she hated Su Wan even more!

“Lady! Lady!” The person who had gone to intercept Su Wan earlier came in with a panic-stricken face, then knelt on the ground with a thud, “I failed to stop the young lady, the old lady just happened to have a relapse at this critical moment, she was about to die, but… but the young lady cured her.”
