Chapter 98: Crushing the Bones and Scattering Ashes
Su Wan's eyelashes trembled, and she lowered her eyes to stare at Madam Su. Her wrinkled face was filled with a loving smile, and her peaceful eyes were full of infinite tolerance, as if no matter what she did, Madam Su would indulge her.
A warm current flowed through her heart. Su Wan held Madam Su's dry hands with both hands, her eyes like water, and her voice softened involuntarily: "Grandma, I don't have much. Except for the dowry you and mother left for me, I have nothing. So what belongs to me, no one can take it away. I want to get it back with interest."
Madam Su's heart was crushed. She gently hugged Su Wan into her arms and stroked her head lovingly: "You want to get the dowry back, grandma will help you."
"Take good care of yourself, I'll take care of the dowry myself." Su Wan snuggled in Madam Su's arms, her heart was peaceful, "I'm grown up, I won't be deceived by them anymore, don't worry that I will be bullied."
Madam Su spoke for a long time: "Okay."
When Madam Su pretended to sleep, Su Wan left quietly and went to the next room to take a shower.
Madam Su heard the sound of the curtain falling and slowly opened her eyes. Her cloudy eyes were sharp: "Wanwan is back, what's the matter with that woman?"
The old nanny didn't know that when Su Wan came, Madam Su was in poor health.
But her granddaughter Xiaotao came in, with a sweet smile on her round face, and replied happily: "Madam, Madam ran into the eldest lady at the door and suffered a loss. Now everyone in the capital knows that the Crown Princess is a concubine's daughter. Madam used to be a maid in the mansion and climbed into the master's bed and was driven out of our mansion."
Xiaotao's eyebrows were about to fly up with joy, and she chirped: "The eldest lady is really powerful. Madam can't bully her in the future. No one will say bad things about the young lady anymore. Everyone sympathizes with her and scolds Madam and the Crown Princess."
Don't mention how relieved it is.
Madam Su's heart moved, coughed a few times, and came up with an idea.
The old nanny saw it and understood: "What are you going to do?"
"Qinglan and her daughter have a bad reputation. It seems that their rich and prosperous days will not last long. My Wanwan has opened her eyes now and will not be deceived by them to be separated from me." Old Madam Su was full of regret and heartache: "I shouldn't have bothered with her and left her alone to go to the temple. That's why she was bullied by this mother and daughter and married to a remote place. Her life looks very difficult. 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, send her out of the capital, and start a new life."
The old nanny thought of Su Wan's wrinkled coarse cloth clothes. How could it be as lively as before?
Her heart ached and she nodded repeatedly.
After Old Madam Su finished her instructions, she fell asleep.

Wei (wēi) Rui (ruí) Pavilion.
Qinglan sat on the soft couch, grabbing a soft pillow and hitting it to vent her anger. Her beautiful face was distorted, and she wanted to grind Su Wan to ashes.
But in a short while, a storyteller appeared in the teahouse, who made up a story about her and gave a tragic ending, winning a round of applause. Fortunately, considering Su Mixue's identity as the Crown Princess, he dared not say a word about her.
Qinglan wanted to kill the storyteller.
But she hated Su Wan even more in her heart!
"Madam! Madam!" The person who had tried to intercept Su Wan knocked on the door in a panic and knelt on the ground: "I didn't stop the young lady, and the old lady just got sick at this critical moment. It seemed that she was about to die, but the young lady...the young lady cured her."
