After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

Chapter 228 Li Susu returns to the Hou Mansion

Seeing that the old lady had said this, Li Susu seemed to be too stingy if she refused again.

She said to the old lady

"Since the old lady has already mentioned this, my daughter-in-law can no longer refuse. Mother Wang, Ah Fu, go and pack your things so that we can go back with the old lady."

After hearing this, Wang Ma hurriedly agreed, turned around and went to the house to clean up. Ah Fu also ran to the side room and started to pack up the young master and his things.

When Li Susu stepped onto the steps of the Hou Mansion again, she felt really mixed emotions.

Liu Ruyi pretended to be busy inside and did not come out to greet Li Susu at all.Instead, the old lady accompanied her to the yard where she had lived for 15 years.

Maybe it had just been cleaned, and there was still a damp smell in the house.

The servants were busy arranging the things she brought back. The old lady looked at her and said:

"Susu, since you are back, you should take a good rest first. I have already ordered your girl Hongyu to come over. After all, she is familiar with everything about you, so let her serve you. In addition, I will give You can send a few sensible girls over. I will also have the courtyard next to you cleaned. Once Jiang Chen comes back, you can move in directly. Once his official position is confirmed, I will talk to the Liu family. Let’s arrange the marriage between him and Miss Liu Mansion as soon as possible. Back then, the Cui family from Liu Mansion came to the door and wanted to cancel the marriage. Now I want to ask the Liu family if they still want it. Don’t back out of this marriage again.”

Li Susu heard what the old lady said and said to her:

"Old madam, when did this happen? How come I don't know about it at all?"

The old lady said to her:

"This was last year, not long after you left the Hou Mansion. They probably felt that they would suffer a loss by marrying their young lady to Chen'er. Then Ms. Cui came to me specifically to talk about breaking off the engagement. I am a dignified man in the Hou Mansion, how can I Being able to let others come to her to break off the engagement made me reject it in one breath. I told her that she could break off the engagement, but she had to let Duke Liu Guo come to me in person. This marriage was originally arranged by the old Marquis and Duke Liu. As long as Duke Liu Guo At his words, I immediately retreated without saying a word. Unfortunately, Duke Liu Guo passed away not long after, and then Mrs. Liu also drove to Hexi. Their family sent away two old people in succession, because during the mourning period, this time The matter was not brought up again. Now, Jiang Chen has not only recovered from his illness, but also won the top prize. I am afraid that they are too late to curry favor with us. I will tell you this matter, as long as you know it, we will Let’s wait until Jiang Chen’s official position is settled.”

Li Susu couldn't help but murmur in her heart after hearing this. She knew that Jiang Chen had a very good relationship with Liu Huaian, the young master of Liu Mansion.

And this year, she didn't dare to disturb her son who was preparing for the exam for other things.

But she didn't expect that something like this happened. She said to the old lady:

"Jiang Chen's matter has troubled the old lady. Although his marriage to the Liu family was decided by the old Marquis and Liu Guogong when he was young, Jiang Chen is not a child anymore. This marriage also depends on Jiang Chen. I mean. After all, this is his lifelong happiness. I will wait until Chen'er comes home before discussing the matter with him."

The old lady nodded and said:

"You are right. With Chen'er's current situation, who wouldn't want to marry his daughter to him? Tomorrow he will parade through the streets on horseback. As a grandmother, I must go and see his beautiful appearance. You Also pack up and we’ll go there together tomorrow.”

Li Susu agreed, and the old lady went back to her room first.

At this time, not only Hongyu, who was originally in her room, was also sent over.She also arranged two more women in their 30s and four girls around 15 years old.

Hongyu brought everyone over and gave Li Susu a gift.

Li Susu pulled Hongyu to her side and said:

"Hongyu, after we left, did you feel wronged in the Hou Mansion?"

When Hongyu asked his wife, tears suddenly fell down.

She said to the lady:

"When they kicked the madam and the young master out, I thought I could go with the madam. But they kept me here and refused to let me follow the madam. Because I was the girl in the madam's house, I was subjected to them everywhere in the house. They bullied me. They put me in the rough-and-tumble maid, and instead of working in the kitchen, they assigned me some laundry and miscellaneous errands. Madam didn’t know that I had been miserable this past year, and I wanted to go out several times. You go, but how could they let me go? I was in the mansion looking forward to when Madam would come back every day, but in the end, I really looked forward to her coming back."

Li Susu wiped the tears on Hongyu's face and said to her:

"Okay Hongyu, I will never let you suffer this injustice again. We can be together again, and I have to thank my Chen'er. If he hadn't been selected as the number one scholar by the emperor's pen, how could the old lady go to all the trouble He ran to the countryside to pick me up. It's all thanks to Chen'er that we can be together again."

Hongyu wiped her tears and said to his wife:

"Madam, the young master is really giving us face. Do you know how envious the relatives, friends and neighbors were when the good news was delivered to the Hou Mansion today? Liu Ruyi thought he had won the first prize at first. The top pick is his son Jiang Feng. You don’t know how proud Liu Ruyi is surrounded by relatives and friends. Until Young Master Jiang Liang saw Young Master Jiang Chen’s name written on the good news, you didn’t know her face. , as ugly as you want it to be.”

Li Susu looked at Hongyu in front of her and said:

"Didn't Jiang Feng also take the scientific examination this year? How was his score?"

Hongyu said to his wife:

"Yes, he took the exam. But he only got No. 30 and second place, which is not even one or two points behind Young Master Jiang Chen."

Li Susu said:

"Don't say that. Although his results cannot be compared with my Chen'er. However, it is already very good to be ranked No. 30 among many exams."

Hongyu nodded and said:

"Otherwise, today is a double celebration for the Marquis Mansion, and the old lady has ordered that a running water banquet be held for three days to celebrate."

At this time, Wang Ma came over. She first greeted Hong Yu for a few words, and then said to Madam:

"Madam, have you seen that when Liu Ruyi heard that we were back, she deliberately avoided coming to see you. You were picked up by the old lady herself. Did she not know that you were back? I think she didn't want to admit it at all. You are the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion."
