The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 883 The Housekeeper's Daughter Watching the Young Master's Love (Ancient Times) 54

Su Xiangran glanced at the second young master who was trying to make conversation and said nothing else. She just watched the brother and sister chatting there.

But her mind was on the conversation between her mother and Mrs. Su.

"Time flies!" Mrs. Su's tone was full of emotion, "Your Su Wang has been in our family for many years."

"Yes!" Li Niang waited for Mrs. Su to continue.

Madam Su continued, "Su Wang's father was also the steward of our Su Mansion. He has inherited his father's business. But your Su Cheng is a talented person with a bright future."

"Madam, you are too kind!" Li Niang said immediately, "In the early years, it was because the master discovered that my Ah Cheng was the right material that he was willing to give him a chance. Otherwise, he would still be an illiterate layman!"

She wiped away her tears as she spoke, and it really was true that “after hardship comes happiness”.

"You are also blessed." Madam Su patted Li Niang's hand, "Your children are doing well, and it is time for you to enjoy your life."

Li Niang smiled and said, "I don't know if my Ah Cheng can pass the imperial examination. If he can, it will be a great honor for our family."

"Of course he can." Mrs. Su encouraged, "Your Ah Cheng is so smart, he will definitely pass the exam."

After hearing this, Li Niang was so happy: "Then I'll take advantage of Madam's good words."

The two were chatting happily when a maid came in: "Madam, Miss, lunch is ready. Please move to the dining room to eat."

"Okay, got it." Mrs. Su responded, then turned to Li Niang and said, "Let's go eat."

"Okay." Li Niang stood up and followed Mrs. Su to the dining room.

Su Xiangran and others followed them to the dining room.

Su Shangwen should have gone back to his own yard to eat, but he insisted on staying.

After the meal, Li Niang took Su Xiangran away from the Su Mansion.

When they passed by the Su family's main corridor, they saw from afar the once glorious young master Su Shangxu wearing only a single layer of clothes and wanting to jump directly into the pool.

Su Shangxu was held tightly by his long-time attendant Su Cong around the waist, and in order to "resist" Su Cong, he attacked him with elbows several times in a row.

"Oh, my young master!" Su Cong consoled him, "The fish in this pond is not tasty. If you want to eat fish, I'll ask the kitchen to cook it for you."

At this time, there were servants passing by, and Su Cong asked them for help: "Come and help! Pull the young master back, thank you all."

Several people looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward. After all, this was a thankless task.

It’s not good to be too light or too heavy!

The most important thing is, everyone knows that the eldest young master is already a useless person, and the second young master will definitely have the final say in the Su family in the future. There is really no need to sacrifice himself for a fool.

Li Niang and Su Xiangran only stayed for a moment and then left immediately.

The young master is in a disheveled state right now! The two girls naturally won't stay any longer.

After leaving the Su Mansion and getting on their own carriage, Li Niang said with a sigh: "The eldest young master of the Su family was the hope of the Su family at that time! Although he is not as good as your eldest brother in academics, his connections are much better than your eldest brother.

How can you say he is stupid? He looks quite pitiful.”

Su Xiangran didn't take it seriously, but she agreed with her mother and said, "There are unexpected events in the world, and people are subject to misfortunes at any time. Everything is determined by fate and cannot be controlled by humans."

"Your brother said this in his book. He has a lot of things to say." Li Niang touched her daughter's hair and said, "I think your father probably knows something, otherwise Madam Su wouldn't have said that today."

"Mom, what you mean is..." Su Xiangran recalled what Mrs. Su said today, and didn't seem to find anything wrong!

"Mrs. Su hopes that your father will leave the Su family, stop being the housekeeper of the Su Mansion, and come back to enjoy his life." Li Niang sighed, "I don't care, after all, the family's income has long been not dependent on your father's salary.

I'm just afraid that your father himself doesn't want to, after all, he has been with Master Su for most of his life. To put it bluntly, he has known Master Su for longer than he has been married to me."

"That's true!" Su Xiangran nodded, "But the Su family is already a kind family, otherwise it would be difficult for my father to get away with it unscathed."

At this point, Li Niang said proudly, "We have you and your brother in our family. Think about it! You are the future young lady of the Shao family, and your brother is now pregnant and has a good reputation. Even if they want to touch your father, they will always have to think twice."

This is the truth!

After the mother and daughter returned home, they were still thinking about how to persuade Su Wang!

As a result, when I talked about this with him in the evening, he agreed first: "You are right. Ah Cheng will take the imperial examination in the future, and Xiao Ran will become the young lady of the Shao family. It is indeed not appropriate for me to be the housekeeper of the Su family."

The next day, Su Wang went to ask for his resignation from Mr. Su. He had originally sold himself to the Su family, but he had redeemed himself earlier and later signed an employment contract with the Su family.

Now that he wanted to resign before the contract expired, he should have paid a penalty for breach of contract, but Mr. Su tore up the contract without saying a word and set Su Wang free.

Su Wang, who had some concerns at first, finally understood Master Su's thoughts. He bowed to his master and left the Su Mansion.

However, when someone later asked him about the affairs of the Su Mansion, Su Wang always kept silent, thus preserving the friendship between master and servant.
