Former Enemy [Rebirth]

Su Che's eyebrows twitched slightly when he heard this.

I've heard Du Yao mentioned before that the Su family branch where Su Qingyan belongs to has long since declined after the separation of the family. Although some shops and farms can still make some money, they certainly can't afford such a good three-entry house in the west of the city.

This house was obviously bought with the money that Su Qingyan "sold" to Wushegu, but even so, with Mrs. Su's vitriolic and mean headed mistress, let alone treat Aunt Dong as half a master, usually It's good enough to have no shortage of clothes and less clothes, and I didn't think of Aunt Dong's credit for giving birth to Su Qingyan, the "golden egg".

Su Che secretly took a deep breath, and the little girl opened the curtain, lifted her robe and walked into the main room.

Aunt Dong was lying on the bed. Although she was still too weak to get out of bed, her energy was not too bad. It was probably because of the elixir hanging her life.

When Aunt Dong saw Su Che coming in, her eyes turned red immediately, and she stretched out her bony hand towards Su Che.

"Fourth young master, you can be counted as coming back to see your aunt..."

Mrs. Su had two young masters, namely the uncle and the third master, and the second master was also born in the concubine's room, but the concubine's room had long since died of dystocia, so it is not clear what happened behind the scenes.

Su Qing has four words and deeds, and is currently the youngest son.

It was precisely because he was born with some congenital defects that he should not be taken seriously, Madam Su didn't even bother to take action against him.

Su Che took two steps forward and sat next to Aunt Dong. The hand tightly held by Aunt Dong made him feel a little awkward, but he didn't reject it.

In memory, apart from An Qiyuan, few people showed concern for him so bluntly.

The memory of the role of "mother" is a little blurred due to the age, and the deepest impression is that when he was taken away by the master, his mother forced herself to suppress the sobs that she could not make a sound.

Seeing Aunt Dong today, the role of the mother who was frozen in memory began to become vivid, which hurt his originally calm heart.

Su Che gently held Aunt Dong's hand back, and for the first time looked closely at the physical biological mother.

Although Aunt Dong was already terminally ill, she could still see an outline that was somewhat similar to Su Che's in her eyes.

It is said that giving birth to a child is often like a mother, Su Che couldn't help thinking of Master Su's fat and dull appearance, and couldn't help thinking that it was a good thing that Su Qingyan looked like Aunt Dong.

It's a pity that Su Qingyan followed her biological mother in appearance, but her temperament was also very timid and cowardly like Aunt Dong's.

However, in such an environment, rigidity tends to die prematurely, right?

Su Che took the bowl from the little girl who served beside him, scooped up the concoction and blew it cold, and handed it to Aunt Dong's mouth.

Aunt Dong took a few sips with tears in her eyes, and asked Su Che in the spare time: "Did you kowtow to Master and Madam well this time when you came back?"

Hearing this, Su Che's hand holding the spoon froze, and the image of himself kneeling and kowtowing to those two picky figures appeared in his mind, and his face was full of black lines.

Aunt Dong saw the resistance on Su Che's face, and immediately comforted her: "Anyway, the master is your father, and the wife is your mother. Now that you are serving the gods in the Valley of Unforgiveness, you can be regarded as promising. If Madam is happy, she can put you in her name..."

Hearing this, Su Che couldn't take it any longer, and directly interrupted Aunt Dong's words.

"Auntie, when I was taken to the Valley of Unforgiveness, the master had already written the cut book."

Aunt Dong's face was a little pale, obviously she was well aware of this matter.

"But anyway..."

Su Che said: "Auntie doesn't need to persuade you anymore."

Moreover, he really couldn't understand Aunt Dong's strange way of thinking—why in Aunt Dong's eyes, being kidnapped by An Qiyuan and sent to Wushe Valley as a male favourite is "a big promise"?

Besides, is it so important for Mrs. Su to recognize him as her name?Even if he can become the first son in name, what benefits can he actually gain?It is estimated that Mrs. Su will only make more demands on him based on her mother's status?

Su Che frowned: "Auntie, I heard that you lived in the side room of Xiyuan before, and no one took care of you."

Su Che's tone paused, and he couldn't help but cast a glance at An Qiyuan who was standing beside him, and said with some lack of confidence: "How about I take my aunt to the Valley of Unforgiveness to spend her old age peacefully..."

When An Qiyuan received Su Che's gaze, he raised his eyebrows in surprise. Later, when he heard Su Che's proposal to take Aunt Dong to the Valley of Unforgiveness, the corners of his eyes and brows immediately showed obvious joy.

Doesn't this mean that his baby is less and less treating himself as an outsider?

Unexpectedly, before Su Che finished speaking, Aunt Dong said in a deep voice, "You must never mention such rebellious words again."

Aunt Dong sighed and said, "Back then, my hometown encountered a great famine, and the fields had no crops. I fled to Jinling with my father and my family."

"My mother died of illness on the way, and I was so hungry that only a handful of bones remained."

"If I hadn't been taken in by the old lady at that time, how could I have survived until now?"

People who have experienced great suffering, as long as they give her the most basic food, a bed to sleep, and a roof tile to shelter her from wind and rain, she will not ask for more.

So even if Aunt Dong was taken over by Mr. Su, she still felt that she was the one who got the upper hand, but she never thought that it was Mr. Su who was greedy for her beauty and lust and took advantage of her.

If it wasn't for Mr. Su's fear of Mrs. Su knowing about what he did and causing a fire in the backyard, and forcing all insiders, including Aunt Dong, not to reveal a word in front of Mrs. Su, how could he be as slow as Aunt Dong? She was pregnant and thought it was the fault of her gaining weight?

But at that time, Aunt Dong's pregnancy was already a done deal, and if she was forced to administer medicine in such a big month, she might kill someone. After thinking about it, Mrs. Su held back her anger and let Aunt Dong give birth to Su Qingyan.

It's just that although Mrs. Su couldn't conceive Aunt Dong, because of her inner resentment, she cut back on food and clothing in every possible way, which directly led to Su Qingyan's later congenital insufficiency.

But from Aunt Dong's point of view, she didn't inform Madam Su about the matter with Mr. Su back then, so it was not justified.But afterward, Mrs. Su magnanimously allowed her to give birth to a child, and even carried her aunt, which is already a great kindness.

As for the deduction of food and clothing, things like deliberately making things difficult and punishing and beating are nothing in Aunt Dong's eyes.

Which family's head mother is not so majestic?Otherwise, how can you suppress the servants inside and out?As long as he is not beaten to death or disabled, it is already regarded as the benevolence of the master.

As for things like living in the side room, it is even less of a problem. After all, in Aunt Dong's opinion, she still lives in a single room alone in the side room!

When Su Che heard Aunt Dong mention those old events, he couldn't help but rubbed his brows, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the anger in his heart.

Aunt Dong's servility was deeply planted the day Madam Su exchanged ten steamed buns for her.

It is also doomed that Aunt Dong will only be confined to the palm-sized one-acre land of the Su family for the rest of her life. Looking at the blue sky above her head like a frog in a well, she feels that life is so happy and fulfilling... …

Su Che sighed helplessly, and gave up the plan to persuade Aunt Dong to leave Su's house with him.

For Aunt Dong, being able to die in the Su family should be the greatest satisfaction in her life, right?

While Su Che was observing Aunt Dong, Aunt Dong was also looking at her biological son whom she had not seen for a long time.

I heard from the father Meng who delivered the letter that the Wushe Valley is a magnificent palace complex, no, it is even better than the place where the emperor's old son lives.

The emperor's old man's palace was at best paved with high-quality glazed tiles, and the fences were only made of white marble.

Look at the Valley of Unforgiveness, even a side hall is much higher than that specification, and the decoration inside is carved with dragons and painted buildings, elegant and noble furnishings, coupled with the abundant aura and elegant fragrance of flowers in the valley, it is in a stately place. There is a little more fairy air in the middle, which is not comparable to the flattery of the imperial palace in the mortal world.

Aunt Dong was stunned when she heard what old man Meng said, and she also learned that Su Qingyan was favored by the gods.

For this reason, Father Meng also specifically emphasized that he was brought by the suzerain of Wushe Valley to meet Su Che. This was an extremely embarrassing thing, which shows Su Qingyan's high status in Wushe Valley.

After hearing this, Aunt Dong felt relieved.

Originally, she held her breath and did not close her eyes, just to wait for the news that Su Qingyan was in Wushe Valley.

Now that she has a letter of approval, her mind is lightened, and her illness is not so serious, and with the elixir that Father Meng brought back, it shouldn't be a problem to survive for another year or so.

Now looking at the son in front of him, I can see that his brows are stretched out, his demeanor has become more arrogant and noble than those lords, his words and actions have become more assertive and organized, and he is no longer as timid as before.

Although the two had some differences because of Su Che's taking her away from the Su family, the mother's affection for the calf could not be erased.

Aunt Dong asked about Su Che's daily life in the Valley of Unforgiveness in detail, and Su Che said it lightly, the more Aunt Dong listened to it, the more happy she became, and tears just flowed down.

When both of them had nothing to say, Aunt Dong was silent for a rare moment, and then said to the little girl who was serving beside her, "Go down first, I have a few words of my own that I want to say to Fourth Young Master."

The little girl was in a dilemma for a while, and finally An Qiyuan turned the handle of the knife slightly, and after making a harsh click, the little girl backed away with a pale face.

Originally, Aunt Dong wanted Su Che to "invite" the guard An Qiyuan out, but even if others didn't know An Qiyuan's identity, Su Che knew it.

Besides, even if An Qiyuan was invited out, with his hearing ability, he could still hear the conversation between them clearly outside the door, so doing this kind of thing is completely superfluous.

Su Che said: "No need, Qi Huwei, well, he is a trustworthy person..."

As soon as Su Che finished speaking, he instinctively avoided An Qiyuan's fiery gaze.

What could be more joyful than hearing this sentence from Su Che at this moment?

Aunt Dong took a few glances between An Qiyuan and Su Che, and felt that the aura between the two was a little weird, but she couldn't tell where it was.

His son is obviously the master, and the guard surnamed Qi is just a mere follower, but Su Che seems to be very scrupulous about that guard when speaking, and the relationship between master and servant sometimes seems to be reversed.

Although Master Su is indiscreet, he is not manly.Aunt Dong is in the inner courtyard of this deep house and has no chance to see the world outside, so naturally she can't guess what is going on between Su Che and An Qiyuan.

But since his son has said that An Qiyuan is a trustworthy person, he should be a very close friend.

So Aunt Dong no longer shy away, and carefully took out a treasure bag from the bed lattice in front of the two of them.

This treasure bag actually looks exactly like the purse used by ordinary people, and in terms of materials and designs, there is nothing special about it.

But Su Che and An Qiyuan are not ordinary people. Although this purse looks ordinary, they can tell at a glance that this thing is an excellent magic weapon for storage.

Su Che took it in confusion, and handed it to An Qiyuan.

An Qiyuan also had a dignified expression, but when he undid the restraint on the treasure bag and saw what was inside, his expression suddenly changed.

"What's wrong?" Su Che was also a little nervous.

An Qiyuan said with a gloomy face: "The things on the head here are the spiritual tendons of the Salamander, as well as seven or forty-nine kinds of precious elixir for brewing the spiritual tendons."
