027 Provoking the Fourth Miss of Duke Su's Mansion
Su Guogong was startled, and when he saw Su Wan coming over, he stopped and said, "Awan, why are you here?"
"Grandpa, Awan was worried about grandpa. Awan missed grandpa, so she came here." She threw herself into Su Guogong's arms, tears streaming down her face.
The grandfather and grandson were relieved for a while, until Su Guogong fell asleep again, and Jiang Xin and Jiang Yue supported Su Wan, whose eyes were swollen from crying, back to the Freehand Garden.
When they arrived at the Freehand Garden, thinking of Xu Jue and Cheng Liang who were all injured because of her, Su Wan turned around and took Jiang Xin and Jiang Yuewang away from their residence.
Because of Su Guogong's order, Xu Jue and Chen Liang stayed in the guest room. The conditions and environment were very good.
Chen Liang had a skin injury and had already recovered. He happened to go out at this moment, and Su Wan did not see him.
As for Xu Jue, Xu Jue was seriously injured. Although he had saved his life, he was still groggy.
Su Wan sat by the bed, looking at this stranger who had nothing to do with her, thinking that if he hadn't come forward, maybe she would have died long ago.
Gently holding Xu Jue's hand, Su Wan's voice was choked: "Uncle Xu..."
Xu Jue's cheeks were still swollen, his forehead and body were covered with bandages. One leg was fixed with a bamboo board and he couldn't move.
Seeing that Xu Jue had no reaction, Su Wan did not want to wake him up. Since her grandfather said that it was okay and that as long as she took good care of him, she would get better, she felt relieved.
Taking a towel to wipe the concoction from the corners of Xu Jue's mouth, Su Wan pursed her lips, covered him with a quilt, and walked out slowly.
When going out, she happened to meet the maid Lingyu who came in to take care of Xu Jue. Su Wan asked: "Take good care of Uncle Xu. If he wakes up, tell me immediately!"
Lingyu had great respect for the third young lady in the mansion who was made the princess by the emperor. She nodded repeatedly: "I will take good care of Master Xu. When Master Xu wakes up, I will tell the princess immediately."
Su Wan nodded and said, "Brother Chen, it's the same thing."
Lingyu nodded, and Su Wan took Jiang Xin and Jiang Yue back to her freehand garden.
Half a month passed in a flash, and Su Wan's injuries healed quickly because of the medicine that the emperor specially ordered to deliver.
When Su Guogong saw that her body was getting better and she was much fairer and rounder, his heart felt relieved and his body gradually got better.
Looking at Xu Jue over there, he was always groggy and somewhat conscious, but he never opened his eyes. Occasionally his eyelashes would move, but he couldn't open his mouth.
When Su Wan and Su Guogong saw this, Su Guogong directly called Emperor Kanghua, who sent an imperial doctor. In the past few days, the situation has improved a lot.
Although I still can't open my eyes, I don't have a high fever that won't go away from time to time.
Seeing that Xu Jue was getting better, Su Wan also breathed a sigh of relief.
This body has never left Duke Su's Mansion, so he knows very little about things outside. Su Wan doesn't want to stay in Duke Su's Mansion, in this courtyard, so she reads books every day, wanting to know more about it.
In the first two days, the Fourth Miss, the Fifth Miss and the Sixth Miss in the mansion would come over to make trouble, but because Su Guogong was around, they were warned and they all calmed down.
Su Wan likes to be quiet and does not like to be disturbed by others. She spends all day reading in the freehand garden. When Su Guogong returns home, she will be tired of being with Su Guogong. The grandfather and grandson chat with each other, which is very warm.
Seeing that Su Wan liked reading, Su Guogong was thinking about whether to find a husband for her.
All the children in the family had husbands, but considering Su Wan's experience, Duke Su did not think of letting Su Wan study with the other young masters and ladies.
"Grandpa, are you tired every day?"
The grandfather and grandson were drinking tea that day. Su Wan looked at Su Guogong, who was frowning slightly, nestled in his arms, and asked in a sweet voice.
Su Guogong gently held his granddaughter's little head and said with a smile: "How could it be possible? With Awan accompanying grandpa, grandpa will never feel tired."
"Then why does grandpa frown like an earthworm? It's so ugly!" Su Wan pouted her little mouth. Because of Su Guogong's instructions, the little guy is now white and tender.
"Grandpa is thinking that A-wan likes reading and should find a husband for A-wan." Su Guogong said gently.
After hearing this, Su Wan tilted her head and looked at Su Guogong: "Grandpa, do all the brothers, sisters, and brothers have their own husbands?"
Duke Su laughed when he heard this. Today's princes are all the same husband. How can the children of their ministers be the same children and husbands?
"No, they are all the same gentleman, but because they teach many subjects, there are many gentlemen. But generally speaking, the gentlemen of young gentlemen and young ladies are different. The gentlemen of the same subjects are the same."
Su Wan played with Su Guogong's fingers and said in a soft and waxy childish voice: "Grandpa, it's good that Awan can be taught by grandpa now, and there is no need for those teachers and wives."
Su Guogong lowered his head and glanced at his granddaughter, thinking that his granddaughter was right. She was only five years old now, so it would not be too late to start studying when she grew older.
There are so many well-behaved young masters and ladies in the house, but it is rare that Awan always behaves freely and unpretentiously, and he likes it very much.
Su Guogong, who originally thought of at least finding a nanny to teach his granddaughter the rules and etiquette, decided to give up after seeing his granddaughter's shining eyes.
Many years later, when Su Guogong, whose eyebrows and beard turned gray, thought of his granddaughter Awan, whom he almost single-handedly raised, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Su Guogong's care and love for Su Wan naturally made many people in Su Guogong's house dissatisfied.
The first person to be dissatisfied, and also the more courageous one, was the Fourth Miss Su Xiaomin whom I met last time.
Duke Su went out that day, so Su Wan asked Jiang Xin and Jiang Yue to make some preparations and decided to fly the kite in the yard. The freehand garden was large and relatively open, so there was no need to worry about the kite getting stuck.
Jiang Xin and Jiang Yue were having fun when they suddenly heard the child's childish yet arrogant voice.
"Hey, where did you get the kite?" Su Xiaomin glared at Su Wan who was pulling the thread, very rudely.
Su Wan was too lazy to pay attention to that arrogant little brat, and continued to play with the kite. However, she underestimated Su Xiaomin's arrogance, and without saying a word, she rushed over and punched her in the face.
Jiang Xin and Jiang Yue were a little far away, and there was no way they could come over. Seeing that the fist was about to land on the princess's face, she screamed in fright.
"Fourth Miss, no!"
"Huh, what's wrong? With such a beautiful kite, why would you give her a harmful person to play with?" The speaker was Su Xiaoyong, who had followed along. Looking at Su Xiaomin's movements, there was a look of pride in his eyes.
There was a sneer in his eyes, but his face was full of panic and astonishment. He backed away repeatedly, but he could not keep up with Su Xiaomin's speed.
Seeing that a fist was about to hit her in the face, Su Xiaomin smiled even more proudly, but she didn't know what she suddenly stepped on, her body tilted, and she slid out.
A trace of doubt flashed in Su Wan's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. The corner of her mouth pursed slightly, and at this moment she turned slightly sideways to avoid everyone's sight.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the pond next to him, then looked at the proud look in Su Xiaomin's eyes just now, and caught Su Xiaomin who was about to fall.
