After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 100 Wan's Unexpected Thunderbolt
Madam Zhu glanced at Young Master Bai and immediately said, "Get up! You are pregnant, after all. If you have any grievances, just tell me, and I will uphold justice for you."

Cuilan angrily began to complain, "After I returned to the countryside with the Su family, my mother-in-law started picking on me and couldn't stand the sight of me. Last night, she even kicked me out of the village, and I almost froze to death outside!"

"Outrageous!" Zhu exclaimed in shock and anger, slamming her hand on the table. "What does Su Chunsen's family want? As the saying goes, even if you don't respect the monk, you should respect the Buddha. How dare she humiliate me like this?"

Young Master Bai was also furious. He said to Madam Zhu with a cold face, "Madam, there is no need to be angry. Su Chuan is my servant. It is only right and proper for me to deal with him."

Madam Zhu calmed down a bit. "Thank you, my husband! They should be back tomorrow. It's a pity you have to come with me to the Zhu family, so we can't deal with it in time."

"It's alright." Young Master Bai waved his hand and pondered, "I'll go find Mother. Su Chunsen's family members are those who serve Mother, so it's more appropriate for Mother to deal with them. Su Chuan is, after all, one of my close attendants, yet he's so useless. He should be punished. I'll deal with him when I get back."

Zhu finally smiled again and nodded to Cuilan, "You go back and rest first, I don't need you to serve me here."

"Thank you, young master and young mistress." Cuilan bowed her head and withdrew.

Stepping out of the room, she immediately puffed out her chest like a victorious rooster, secretly anticipating the fate of Su Chuan's family.

At the same time, Wan was confiding in Su Yu, recounting all the things that had happened to their family over the past year.

When Su Yu heard that Su Chuan had married Cui Lan, her face changed completely. "Mother! You're confused! On the day of my wedding, Granny Li clearly had ill intentions. How could she possibly arrange a good marriage for my elder brother!"
"Cuilan had a shady relationship with the eldest young master before, and they even had affairs behind the young master's back. That woman is already a used woman. If my brother marries her, what will the eldest young master think? Will Cuilan be happy?"

Madam Wan suddenly realized and jumped up. "No wonder Granny Li smiled so meaningfully that day. She must have known about Cuilan and the eldest young master's affair for a long time. Madam must have known too! They conspired to scheme against our family!"

Madam Wan burst into tears of anger, sobbing uncontrollably, "I have served Madam for so many years, and even if I have not done anything meritorious, I have certainly worked hard. Just because you are doing well, she is unhappy and treats our family like this! How am I supposed to live!"

Su Yu frowned slightly. "Mother, the most urgent thing is not to cry, but to find a way to deal with this. Call my eldest brother over; I have something to ask him."

"Okay! Okay! I'll go call him right away!" Madam Wan wiped away her tears and hurriedly went out to call Su Chuan, who was talking outside, in.

Seeing that Su Yu's face was round and her complexion was good, Su Chuan couldn't help but smile. "Good sister, what do you want to see me about?"

Su Yu lowered her voice and asked, "Big brother, tell me honestly, is the child in Cuilan's belly yours?"

Su Chuan looked up in surprise, "Why do you ask that?"

Su Yu was furious. "There are only the three of us here. You don't need to act like this in front of me. I've known about Cuilan and the young master for a long time!"

Su Chuan slowly lowered his eyes, his smile fading. "Since you already know, why are you asking?"

Su Yu was furious. "I asked because I was afraid something would happen to you! That Cuilan is clearly no pushover. After what you did to her last night, it's no wonder she made a scene! Now she's pregnant with the eldest young master's child, and the eldest young mistress doesn't know. They'll definitely protect her. Although our family are the elders in the mansion, we can't compare to the favored Cuilan. If she adds fuel to the fire and twists the truth, how will you have a good life in the mansion from now on?"

Madam Wan's face turned deathly pale instantly, her lips trembling. "It's all my fault! If I hadn't lost my temper, things wouldn't have turned out this way. Your father and your elder brother are both implicated because of me."

“Mother! Don’t talk about implicating me or not. Cuilan never looked down on me or you. I was forced to marry him. We didn’t have any real marriage after the wedding. Otherwise, the eldest young master wouldn’t have treated me the same as always.”

He was pleased with my tact. I also had leverage over him, so even if the young master was unhappy, he wouldn't dare to go too far. Otherwise, we'd all go down together. I'd expose this, and no one would get away with it! Su Chuan clenched his fists, his face gradually becoming ferocious.

Su Yu glared at him with exasperation, deciding not to waste any more time arguing with Su Chuan, and pondered to herself, "Have you contacted your cousin Yunyun?"

Madam Wan nodded, looking dejected. "Young Master Zhu has settled her in a two-courtyard house in Yong'an Lane. She has maids and servants to take care of her, so her life is quite peaceful. Young Master Zhu treats her very well, providing her with all sorts of good things, such as bird's nest and shark fin."

However, the old woman serving her was not easy to get along with. Perhaps she saw that Bingyuan was ignorant and relied on her age to do whatever she wanted.

Your dad asked me to secretly visit her before, and I reminded her, but I don't know if your cousin listened. I'm busy with a lot of things at the end of the year and haven't been able to take care of her.

Su Yu got up and took out a package from the cabinet. "This is what my aunt and uncle prepared for my cousin before they left. It contains some cheese and milk cakes from the ice field, plus twenty taels of silver."

Take this back to your cousin. Try to keep in touch with her often, and lend a hand if she needs anything. If you encounter any trouble, you can also try asking your cousin for help.

Madam Wan nodded silently, her eyes filled with tears, and choked out, "We don't know what will happen to our family when we return to the manor!"

Su Yu tenderly wiped away Wan Shi's tears, "Mother, don't cry. It's too late to say anything now. When you get to the county town, spread the word about Cui Lan's arrogance in Dongmen Village. When you get to Madam's courtyard, be sure to complain first and don't let Madam make trouble for you, otherwise you'll be in a very passive position."

Make it sound as if Cuilan has done countless bad things, then remind the lady that you are Cuilan's mother-in-law. A mother-in-law can control her lawless daughter-in-law. No one can say you're wrong anywhere. Finally, bring up the Bai family. The Bai family cannot have such a disgraceful servant.

Even if your wife is unhappy after weighing the pros and cons, she won't punish you severely. At most, she'll give you a warning or deduct one or two months' pay.

Madam Wan's mind raced, and she realized her daughter was right. She immediately stopped crying and smiled through her tears, saying, "Good Xiaoyu, you're so smart! Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to do anything."

Seeing that Madam Wan had calmed down, Su Yu looked at Su Chuan, who was standing to the side with his lips tightly pursed, and his expression became more serious. "Big brother, although you are my elder brother, there are some things I still have to say, even if you don't like to hear them."

You've served the young master for so many years, you should know very well what kind of person he is. If you really fight him to the death, do you believe the Bai family could beat you up immediately and sell you and your parents off? In the end, what benefit would our family get?
As for the eldest young master, even if the eldest young mistress is very angry, she would never divorce him. The couple would have a falling out for a while, but as long as the eldest young master humbled himself and admitted his mistakes, wouldn't it be over?

Who knows, the young master might even use this opportunity to get his wife to take a concubine for him—a blessing in disguise!
