Chapter 183 Change
Chapter 183 Change
"You wait for me."
Lu Chaofeng's voice was behind him.
But Su Chengnan didn't stop and continued to move forward.
She didn't want to see Lu Chaofeng, and she didn't know what to say if they met in private. She blamed Lu Chaofeng for burying her for Jiayi's matter, but she was also blaming herself for sending Jiayi out.
When Su Chengnan thought of this, she felt more and more guilty, and a feeling of heartache enveloped her whole body. She couldn't help but run quickly.
They didn't stop until they returned to the Su family's tent.
Lu Chaofeng followed her all the way, and only stopped when he saw her go in without hesitation.
"Prince." A Shun looked at him worriedly.
"Forget it, let's go back." Lu Chaofeng sighed and his hands fell down weakly.
……
Now is a turbulent time, and we are facing the attack of the White Bear Country. No one has returned to the inner house, and they all live in the military camp. Li Shanqi has allocated an area near the edge for everyone.
When Su Chengnan returned to the tent, Nian Qiu and Chun Yu came to greet her. One helped her take off her cloak, and the other gave her a hot water bottle to warm her hands.
"Miss."
"Hello, elder sister."
Everyone in the room spoke at the same time.
She curled her lips and said, "Is everyone okay? If you need anything, please tell me and I'll find a way."
"We have everything we need. Everything is fine now." Nanny Han held the young master and smiled at her.
The others who were awake also nodded.
There were several small beds put together on the inside. The concubines and their children had already gone to bed, but when they saw her coming back, they all got up quickly.
Seeing this, Su Chengnan waved his hand and said, "Let's all take a rest. It's okay."
Su Linhua moved her butt to make room for her, "Eldest sister, come and sit down."
"Okay." Su Chengnan smiled, then turned back to Gangzi and the others and said, "Arrange the people on duty and take the time to rest. Remember to leave the windows open for ventilation after lighting the charcoal fire."
"I understand, Miss, don't worry."
"Well, let's go."
Gangzi led his men out.
"Eldest sister, have you dealt with everything? I just heard a lot of noise."
"Well, everything has been handled and the people have been caught."
"Phew, that's good! I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight. I was so sleepy just now, but as soon as I closed my eyes, I remembered the scene before. I was so panicked."
"Don't be afraid, it's okay."
"Are you hungry then? I'll get you something to eat."
Su Linhua took out a bun wrapped in oil paper from her pocket, roasted it on a clean bamboo stick over the fire, put it into the bun and put it on the fire to heat, and soon both sides of the bun were roasted golden brown.
Su Chengnan was really a little hungry, so he took the food, blew on it, and started eating it in small bites.
Nanny Han looked at her with a very unhappy feeling: "Young lady is really working hard. It would be great if there was a man in the family who could help with these things. Alas."
Su Linhua disagreed, "So what if they're men? They're all human beings, with a pair of eyes and a mouth. If they can do it, why can't we?"
Nanny Han's expression froze on her face. Everyone was shocked by Su Linhua's words and suddenly fell silent.
Su Chengnan continued to eat her buns leisurely. After a while, she slowly said, "The Su family is going through a difficult time right now. It's not easy for everyone. When my brothers and sisters grow up, they will all have to shoulder their responsibilities."
"We are all part of the Su family. The Su family needs everyone's efforts to move forward in this uneasy world. Whether it's Mammy, Uncle Fu, Chunyu, or you all, it's not easy for anyone."
"Yes, yes," Nanny Han smiled again, and the others laughed too. "Young Miss is right. When the young master grows up, he will definitely be able to help with a lot of things. Then you will have a much easier time."
Su Chengnan curled the corners of his lips and smiled lightly, "Yes, my brother is still young, but there is still some time left."
Then, she changed the subject and looked to the other side, "But Yu'er and Min'er, they are almost grown up. I see that they have made a lot of progress in their studies with Mr. Sun these days. I am still very hopeful."
Nanny Han's smile faded, and she lowered her voice and said, "No matter how powerful this bastard is, after all, his status is here... How can he be considerate, Miss, don't you think so?"
Su Linhua had another complaint, but before she could say anything, Su Chengnan gently bumped her leg with his knee and said it first.
"Everyone knows the current state of the Su family. Whether they are legitimate, illegitimate, concubines, or even servants whose indentures are not in my hands, as long as they are loyal to the Su family and are willing to make sacrifices and work hard, I will accept their kindness and will not let you down in the future."
"Yes, the eldest lady is kind-hearted, we all know that." Chunyu smiled and tried to smooth things over. She secretly glared at Nanny Han, signaling her not to say anything more.
Nanny Han lowered her head, her eyes darting back and forth, and for a moment, she didn't know what she was thinking...
……
The night passed quickly.
At daybreak, Su Chengnan was awakened by the sound of rapid horse hooves. But when she opened her eyes, many people in the tent had disappeared.
She couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on her back.
Seeing her sit up, Chunyu quickly explained, "Don't panic, Miss. The second young lady took someone to help make breakfast. Seeing that you slept well, she didn't wake you up."
Su Chengnan patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. "How could I sleep so soundly? It's really strange."
The spring rain lowered its head silently without saying a word.
Last night, the prince sent someone to deliver sleeping incense early, saying that he was worried that the eldest lady was worrying too much and her health would collapse sooner or later. The second lady then made an idea. After the young lady fell asleep, she would quietly put some on her pillow.
Su Chengnan packed her clothes, washed up, and was about to go out. Chunyu was worried and took the initiative to speak.
"Miss, are you willing to take me with you? I have been with Madam in the Su family for so many years, and there is not much I can do, but as long as I can do it, Chunyu is willing to do it."
Su Chengnan stopped and looked at her carefully for the first time.
"You have such a kind heart, and I'm very happy. But my mother and I have different personalities. We must do extraordinary things in extraordinary times. You may not be used to it."
"Miss, you're worrying too much. It's not uncommon for a servant to be accustomed to something. I should obey your orders. I also want to learn some skills from you."
"Learn a skill? What for?" She laughed.
"Since leaving the mansion, the world outside is vast, and I've encountered danger many times along the way. If I want to survive, I have to change myself."
Su Chengnan didn't expect that this girl had such a broad mind. She was different from Nanny Han, but whether it could be used remained to be seen.
"Okay, you may follow me. But some..."
"I know my limits, please rest assured, Miss!" Chunyu responded first and bowed.
"Well, let's go."
"Yes."
Chunyu followed Su Chengnan out without looking back. Only Nanny Han and a few concubines were left in the room, doing some mending work with their children.
