Hearing Yin Beichao's words and knowing that he wanted to study abroad, Su Wan fell silent.
"Beichao, don't tell your father about this."
Su Wan's thoughts spun and she grabbed Yin Beichao's hand. "Your second brother will be back in a few days. Tell him your thoughts secretly. If he loves you, he'll naturally help you tell him. The doctor won't stop you as long as your second brother says it. Do you understand? "
Yin Beichao immediately nodded. "Understood. Beichao remembers. Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Silly child."
Su Wan patted Yin Beichao's shoulder softly. "If you can really go out, then study outside and learn more things. By then … sister-in-law might not even be here anymore but she'll be watching you from above."
"Sister-in-law!"
Yin Beichao's eyes immediately welled up with tears. "Sister-in-law, wait for me. I'm going overseas to study medicine. Wait for me to come back. I'll treat you and take care of you until you're old and dead."
Seeing the young man's determined gaze, Su Wan couldn't help but smile. "Okay, good child. I'll wait for you."
"Okay."
Yin Beichao nodded and then rubbed his eyes. He pestered Su Wan to tell him about things overseas. Up until it was time for dinner did Yin Beichao reluctantly leave.
Not long after he left, Shuning came over with a food container for dinner. The piping hot dinner looked, smelled, and tasted great. Maybe Yao Baiqian thought that Su Wan was going to die soon so she didn't purposely take away the food in the courtyard. Her daily food and clothing were the same as the other young madams in the courtyard.
"Eldest madam."
Shuning first put down the food box when she entered the room. Then she moved closer to Su Wan and carefully took out a few packets of medicinal powder.
"I bought everything and went to a few big pharmacies. No one will suspect anything."
Hearing Shuning's words, Su Wan nodded. She didn't tell Shuning to buy them separately but this girl knew to buy them separately. She was a teachable talent.
"Thank you for your hard work. Shuning, prepare for a few days. Go to the third master's residence in a few days. "
"Wha, what?"
She widened her eyes and knelt on the ground with a pale face. "Eldest madam, eldest miss, this servant followed you from Su Family. This servant has always been loyal to you. Eldest miss, please don't disregard this servant. This servant … this servant is willing to do anything. Eldest madam, please don't give this servant to third master!"
The emotional Shuning was a bit incoherent. Seeing how scared she was, Su Wan held her forehead. "Okay, Shuning, calm down. Do you think I would harm you?"
"Calm down first. Tonight, you'll stay here on duty. When night falls … you'll naturally understand what I mean."
Could it be that Eldest Young Mistress had other intentions?
Hearing Su Wan's words, Shuning sat on the ground and carelessly wiped the tears on her face. Seeing that Su Wan was going to get up to eat, she hurriedly got up and helped Su Wan off the bed …
The cold night was endless.
After midnight, the entire Yin Family's courtyard had sunk into silence.
Su Wan's room was still lit by the dim oil lamp. Shuning sat by Su Wan's bed and stared at the candlelight, feeling a bit drowsy. At this time, there was a soft sound coming from the door. Shuning blinked and was about to get up when the candlelight in the room suddenly shook violently. Then a tall and slender figure appeared in front of her.
This was …
Third, third master?
Shuning covered her mouth in shock. Her eyes were filled with terror.
"You're here?"
At this time, Su Wan slowly opened her eyes and carelessly lifted the blanket on her. "Shuning, help me up."
"Ah? Oh, oh. "
Shuning snapped out of her trance and turned to the side, trembling a bit. Just as she was about to help Su Wan up, a pair of large hands grabbed her. "Let me do it."
Su Rui leaned over and carefully helped Su Wan up. His fingers pressed a few times on her pulse. That handsome and cold face involuntarily softened: "Are you feeling better?"
"I'm fine."
Su Wan smiled and then turned to look at the flabbergasted Shuning. "I don't have much time left. If I'm not here, Shuning definitely won't have a good time in the Yin Residence. Third master, ask the general for her to come to your residence tomorrow and be a servant girl. In the future … after you get a wife, you'll be able to use her."
Su Rui's gaze flickered and he stared at Shuning. "Shuning, are you willing to come to my residence?"
"This servant …"
Shuning was a bit hesitant. She had never seen the third master be so careful and gentle towards someone.
Could it be that the eldest miss and third master …
No, the eldest miss wasn't that kind of person but …
While Shuning was hesitating, Su Wan started coughing involuntarily again.
"Cough, cough, cough."
Hearing her coughing, Su Rui's gaze turned cold. He placed his hand on Su Wan's back and continuously inserted his internal force into her body.
The room fell silent. Shuning also held her breath and didn't dare to speak. She just stared curiously at Su Rui and Su Wan.
"Cough!"
A moment later, Su Wan suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"Ah!"
Shuning immediately exclaimed, "Eldest madam, this blood … why, why is it so black? You're not … poisoned, are you? "
Shuning wanted to run out in a panic. "This servant will go find Doctor Sun right now!"
"Come back!"
Su Wan and Su Rui spoke at the same time.
Hearing their words, Shuning paused in her footsteps and looked at them with a strange expression.
"Heh. You're actually going to find Doctor Sun? "
Su Rui smiled coldly at Shuning. "Although Sun Zhangyi didn't poison Su Wan, he was bribed by the eldest madam and lied against his conscience. What's the point of finding him? You want to kill your master? "
Wh-what?
Shuning immediately widened her eyes at Su Wan. "Eldest madam, this …"
"Shuning, you saw it too. The Yin Family isn't a place for people to stay. If I die, the eldest madam will make you die with me. If I'm lucky enough to not die, she'll think of ways to kill me again."
Saying this, Su Wan laughed mockingly. "People outside are envious of the Yin Family's women's limitless glory but how many people know about the filth inside? Shuning, I'm doing this for your own good. Go follow the third master and be his servant girl. The third master will protect you. "
Saying this, Su Wan turned to look at Su Rui. "Take Shuning in. She has no way to survive in the Yin Family."
In the original plot, after Su Wan died, Shuning's days in the Yin Residence were really tough. Not only did she have to endure the oppression of the eldest madam's direct descendants, but she was even betrothed to an old man who was older than her by twenty years as a concubine. In the end, unable to endure her husband's beating and scolding, Shuning hung herself in her husband's house.
This was the outcome of her personal servant girl.
Before the original body passed away, she told Yin Beige to take good care of her personal servant girl. After Su Wan died, Yin Beige was too sad and forgot about Shuning. Later on, he had Guang Li. How could he remember the promise he made to Su Wan's sickbed?
