Chapter 297 Sending a House
Time passed quickly, and more than five days had passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Madam Hou's physical condition gradually improved, and her spirit slowly recovered. Jiang Weiyang, who had been watching by the side, saw this scene, and the stone that had been hanging in his heart for a long time finally fell.
At the same time, Su Qing also received good news. After a period of recuperation and rest, her body has recovered a lot. And the auspicious date she had specially selected for Wu Yanran and Ruhu happened to be the day after tomorrow! Thinking of this, Su Qing couldn't help but reveal a relieved smile.
Wu Yanran looked at Su Qing, who was pale and weak, and was filled with worry. She said softly, "Madam, you are still so weak now, you need to take good care of yourself. Why don't you postpone my marriage with Ru Hu for a while, until you are fully recovered? Or you can just choose another more suitable day, what do you think?"
Su Qing frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Why do you suddenly make this suggestion? Hasn't the date been set long ago? Have you changed your mind? Or is there any other reason?" She stared at Wu Yanran, trying to find the answer from her eyes.
Wu Yanran quickly waved her hands and explained, "No, no, no, Madam, you misunderstood! I have no other intentions, I just really care about your physical condition. After all, getting married is a major event in life, we can't rush it. Besides, it would be wonderful if you could appear in the best condition! So I want to say that it's okay to delay a little, there's no need to rush."
How can we change what we have agreed to? I am in good health, nothing serious will happen to me. Yesterday I told Li Yue that I would like Li Shang to help me check out a house. Today Li Yue told me that her brother had been there and thought the house was quite nice. How about it? Let's go and have a look together later! I will also call Ru Hu over. If you are satisfied, it will be considered as my dowry for you.
Wu Yanran was filled with gratitude when she heard this. She knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes. "Thank you, Madam, for your kindness! If you hadn't given me up, I would have died long ago. I am grateful to you for your kindness today. I am willing to serve you like a dog and sacrifice my life to repay you for your kindness!"
After that, she kowtowed three times, her forehead touching the ground with a crisp sound. Each kowtow was full of sincerity and firm determination, expressing her loyalty to the lady and her willingness to repay her kindness.
At this moment, Wu Yanran has put life and death aside, and only hopes to do her best to serve her madam and solve her problems.
"Alright, alright, get up quickly. It won't look good if your head is broken. I know what you mean. Go ahead, tell Ru Hu to prepare the car, and we'll go find Li Shang and ask him to take us to see what's going on."
Wu Yanran stood up, wiped her tears, and went out to look for Ruhu.
Ru Hu went to pick up Li Shang himself. He didn't want to trouble his madam. Wu Yanran told him that his madam was going to give them a house.
The four of them took a carriage to the house that Li Shang had seen.
The house is very spacious, with two main rooms, two side rooms, and a small courtyard.
"What do you think?" Su Qing looked at Wu Yanran and Ruhu.
"Okay, that's great, thank you ma'am." Ru Hu clasped his fist towards Su Qing.
Wu Yanran pulled Ruhu down to kneel down and said, "Thank you, Madam. From now on, the two of us will follow your lead."
Su Qing took out five silver notes worth one hundred taels, and asked the seller to sign and seal the contract directly!
"Why did Madam give us so many silver notes? Isn't the house only worth 120 taels?"
"I'm not feeling well. In the next two days, you and Ruhu will take Shuilian and Ling'er, and call Ruyi along, and go buy some things. Don't save money for me, everything must be good."
"Madam, this..." Wu Yanran looked at the banknote in front of her with a look of embarrassment, and did not reach out to take it. Instead, she glanced at Ruhu beside her.
Ru Hu on the side seemed a little embarrassed and helpless, but he didn't say much, just stood there quietly.
"What? You haven't even gotten married yet! Now you're starting to act insincerely? No matter what I say, it's useless? Or are you already eager to become a member of the Ruhu family?" Su Qing's tone pretended to be stern.
She lowered her head and said softly, "Madam, you have misunderstood. I have no such intention. It's just that this banknote... is too much. I feel ashamed to accept it."
"Since Madam is so kind to us, we would rather obey your command respectfully. Thank you for your reward." Ru Hu took the banknote with a smile on his face and said to Wu Yanran.
Su Qing snorted coldly and said coquettishly: "Hmph~ You are so rude. You are just like your heartless dog master. "After saying that, she glared at Ru Hu fiercely.
Ru Hu was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Su Qing any more. He knew very well that at this moment, the lady was angry because of the master. As a servant, it would be better for him to avoid trouble. So, he quietly put away the banknote and prepared to give it to Wu Yanran when the time was right.
"Madam, please don't be angry with him. I won't marry him."
"Yanran, don't talk nonsense. I just think of his master when I see him, and I get so angry."
