Chapter 126: Staying Up Together
The last person who hated her was killed by her.
She doesn't care that people hate her!
If Ning Wenzhong and his men dare to attack her, she will make sure that Ning Wenzhong and his wife are killed without a burial place.
Chen Jingzhong and the other two sat in the mansion for a while and then left.
Seeing that his wife's health had improved, Chen Jingzhong was completely relieved.
"Brother and sister-in-law have also seen Shuang'er's condition. Can you rest assured?" Chen Jingzhong did not have a good attitude.
They were the ones who pushed him to go to the Zhennan Marquis Mansion. Fortunately, Su Yuan was magnanimous and didn't care, otherwise...
If Su Yuan gave up, he would not forgive Ning Wenzhong and his wife.
If Ning Wenzhong and his wife dare to stir up trouble again, he will not be polite to them.
Ning Wenzhong smiled and said, "As long as Shuang'er is fine, Jingzhong, take care of yourself too. We'll go back first."
After he said that, he didn't dare go back to the Shangshu Mansion with Chen Jingzhong. They took a carriage directly back to the Ning family.
In the carriage, Li couldn't swallow the anger in her heart.
"Boss, did you see the look in that little bitch Su's eyes? She's full of disdain for us! She looks down on us."
Everyone looks down on their Ning family!
Why?
How much higher could Su Yuan's family background be than that of the Ning family? It was nothing more than marrying into a good husband's family.
After they inherit the Chen family's property, they will also be able to soar to success.
Ning Wenzhong was silent for a while. "Now that Ning Wenshuang lives in the Zhennan Marquis Mansion, it's not easy for us to take action against her. We should be patient for a while and wait until she leaves the Zhennan Marquis Mansion before taking action."
Looking at Su Yuan's eyes, it was obvious that she had noticed that they were planning to murder Ning.
However, Su Yuan did not expose them, which was enough to prove that Su Yuan did not want to cause trouble or get into trouble.
Then they should give Su Yuan some face and wait until Ning leaves the Zhennan Marquis Mansion before taking action.
It is normal for the disease to recur. Su Yuan cannot protect Ning for the rest of her life.
And Chen Qingluo...
They absolutely cannot let Chen Qingluo marry an outsider!
Chen Qingluo could only marry his son Ningchang.
Only if Ning Chang marries Chen Qingluo, will Chen Jingzhong help Ning Chang rise step by step. Otherwise, Ning Chang is now just a small general in the city defense battalion. When will he be able to bring honor to their Ning family?
It doesn't matter if the Lu and Chen families get engaged. As long as Lu Ziyi and Chen Qingluo don't get married, they still have a chance.
They have been planning for many years and cannot afford to fail at the last moment.
Li nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will listen to the boss and hold off for now."
At the beginning of December, Su Yuan sent Ning back to the Ning family. Ning's illness was almost cured, and she just needed to take good care of herself and she would be fine.
Chen Jingzhong thanked Su Yuan profusely and gave her a generous reward.
Su Yuan did not refuse, this was what she deserved.
She asked the servants to move it to the carriage.
She wanted to warn Chen Jingzhong, but she had no evidence, and even if she told him, Chen Jingzhong and the others would not believe her.
For more than a month, Nanny Ning did not take any action, and she had no chance to find any evidence against her.
She could only ask the secret guards to keep an eye on the man first, catch him red-handed, and then tell Chen Jingzhong about it.
……
In December, the academy conducts its annual assessment.
Even His Majesty will come in person to see the performance of the young masters from the noble families.
Su Yuan took Li Mo to the enclosure early to watch.
Anyone with a post can enter the Royal Enclosure, and almost all of the people who come to watch the assessment competitions are the parents of the students.
Su Yuan found a good seat and sat down waiting for the test to begin.
Not long after, a lot of people came one after another.
Cheng Lang also arrived, but he stayed beside His Majesty and sat in the main seat with His Majesty and Prince Jin.
When the time comes, the assessment competition begins.
The first test for the students was horseback riding and archery. Su Yuan looked at the high-spirited Gu Yu from afar with a gentle smile.
The assessment lasted for two hours. Gu Yu and Liu Xun both ranked among the top and received commendations.
On the way back home, Gu Yu gave the emperor's reward to Su Yuan, "Mother, this silver is for you."
Su Yuan was a little surprised. She smiled indulgently, "Yu'er, you're working so hard just to give me a gift? Yu'er, you don't have to do this.
I hope that everything you do is what you want to do, not what you are forced to do."
She didn't want Gu Yu to force himself just to please her.
In the future, her son only needs to please the girl he likes and not anyone else.
Gu Yu smiled and nodded, "I understand, son."
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.
Su Yuan and her son Gu Yu had their New Year's Eve dinner together.
Last year, they were unable to have the reunion dinner together, but this year they can finally have it together.
Every year thereafter, they could eat together.
"Yu'er, you are growing, so eat more. These are your favorite dishes." Su Yuan picked up some food for Gu Yu.
She specifically asked the servant who was taking care of Gu Yu in Duke Li's mansion to cook for Gu Yu herself.
"Mom, eat more too." Gu Yu also picked up some food for Su Yuan.
The mother and son smiled at each other and ate the food in their bowls.
Gu Yu suddenly said, "Mom, why don't you ask my adoptive father to come over for the New Year's Eve dinner? He's all alone at home, it's quite pitiful."
Su Yuan: ...
She had never thought of inviting Cheng Lang to come for the New Year's Eve dinner.
Cheng Lang is a stranger, so it’s not right to invite him over for dinner openly, right?
Su Yuan didn't know how to answer.
Gu Yu continued, "Mom, I can see that my adoptive father has you in his heart. You don't have to live out your life alone because of your child."
He knew that his mother loved him, and he loved his mother too.
He hopes his mother can be happy all her life.
Gu Zhiquan was the one who wronged them first, so they don't have to consider Gu Zhiquan's feelings.
He is not a foolishly loyal or filial son, he only cares about his mother.
As for the father Gu Zhiquan...
Gu Zhiquan is not worthy of being his father.
It was Gu Zhiquan who gave up on him first, so don't blame him for being heartless and ungrateful.
Su Yuan pursed her lips. It turned out that Gu Yu knew everything, and he could even understand her?
How could Gu Zhiquan bear to throw away such a good son?
Gu Zhiquan didn't even know what he had lost.
Su Yuan reached out and touched Gu Yu's face, "Mother understands! If Mother had a man she liked, she wouldn't let herself be wronged."
Gu Yu suddenly looked at her, "Mother doesn't like adoptive father?"
Su Yuan: ...
She neither admitted nor denied it.
She also likes Cheng Lang, right? But she is a little shy and hesitant, not daring to take that step.
She has been avoiding it and doesn't want to face it.
But in this way, she would really be unfair to Cheng Lang.
"Yu'er, today is New Year's Eve. Mother will stay up with you." Su Yuan changed the subject.
Seeing that she changed the subject, Gu Yu stopped insisting.
The relationship between them still needs to be resolved by themselves.
As a son, he should stay out of it.
I hope my mother can see her own heart clearly sooner and not let my adoptive father wait in vain.
"Okay! I will stay up all night with my mother." Gu Yu agreed with a smile.
After dinner, the two went to the Gu family ancestral hall to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year.
When the midnight bell rang and firecrackers blasted outside, Su Yuan took out a purse from her bosom and said, "Yu'er, Happy New Year!"
