Thirteenth Lady's Comback: Her Everyday Life as a Bystander-Chapter 180 - 12: Arrogant in Success (Update 3)

If even the Sui’an Hall were to fall into chaos, where would the Old Madam find a place to catch her breath? Susu decided to go back and investigate the truth. If it were true, she must discuss it with Nanny Qin. Susu gently placed the teacup in her hand on the small table in the carriage, but only she knew how she resisted the impulse to smash it. If she had indeed misjudged, she would have to admire it, but fortunately, there was still time.

Because of Susu’s urgency, she naturally instructed the driver to hurry. The driver was Qi Qiao’s own brother, who only listened to his master, and thus disregarded the Bo Mansion’s carriage behind them, speeding up.

The driver of the Shun’an Earl Mansion’s carriage saw Miss Susu’s carriage speeding up ahead and naturally accelerated as well. This caused some bumps, and inside the carriage, Yun Duo almost spilled her tea, clutching her handkerchief and frowning, "What’s happening?" The little maid following hurriedly stuck her head out to scold, "In such a hurry to be reincarnated? If you jostle the ladies, a spanking would be the least of your worries."

The driver who was driving the carriage for the master’s personal maids was naturally not someone without a foundation. After hearing these words, he was displeased. Just a little maid, when did the people from Sui’an Hall become so unruly? Besides, if he were rushing to reincarnate, they could not benefit either. However, since the girls in the carriage were Old Madam’s personal maids, he suppressed his anger and said politely, "The carriage in front of us, which Miss Su is riding in, accelerated. I’m just trying not to fall behind, so I sped up a bit. Please forgive me if it bumps the ladies."

Yun Duo heard this and exchanged a glance with Ming Xiang. She wanted to say something, but Ming Xiang acted indifferent and even advised her, "Perhaps Miss Susu is worried about the Old Madam and is anxious to return home. Let’s speed up as well. Please kindly ask the uncle driving outside to steady the carriage."

After Ming Xiang finished speaking, she instructed another maid beside her to hand a six-tael silver ingot to the driver, who thanked them profusely. Yun Duo felt a sharp pain in her teeth watching this, secretly resenting Ming Xiang’s slippery nature of pretending to be kind while being truly hypocritical.

Susu, in the carriage behind, naturally didn’t know any of this. At the moment, Susu was eager to meet the Old Madam as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, in Sui’an Hall, Old Madam Song, sitting in the main seat, had asked several times, "Why hasn’t Susu arrived yet? That girl, like a runaway horse, has been out for ten days and doesn’t know to come see me. I pampered her for nothing!"

Though she spoke these words, her face was full of anticipation. The maids and servants in the room noticed that today Old Madam even went out of her way to wear her guest-receiving attire, which showed how much she valued Susu. At this moment, they naturally dared not respond. It was Nanny Qin who laughed and said, "You’re wronging Susu. That child hasn’t been idle even after leaving the mansion. Not only did she settle some things at the estate, but Yang Liu, due to a difficult pregnancy, also called her to stay for a few days."

Old Madam knew about Yang Liu’s difficult pregnancy only after she missed her birthday celebration, so she was naturally aware of the struggle she’d been through. Hearing that even Susu was called upon by Yang Liu made her feel sorry for Susu.

"That girl Yang Liu too, Susu isn’t even married yet. What could she know about these matters? It’s like a desperate last resort." Nanny Qin couldn’t help but chuckle, "Yang Liu must have been scared. Susu has always been the backbone among them since childhood, more persuasive than their parents. A few days ago, I heard from Yang Liu’s mother that only Susu could handle it. Yang Liu has nothing to worry about now and plans to come to pay her respects to you on the sixteenth."

Upon hearing this, the Old Madam was pleased. "When they were around, it was like having five hundred ducks quacking. Now that they’ve left, Sui’an Hall has become so quiet, I’m not used to it anymore."

Nanny Qin subtly observed the expressions of Ming Yu and Ming Yue, the two head maids, noticing their previously smiling faces freeze for a moment. Although they quickly adjusted their expressions, traces of their gloomy mood remained. Thinking about her foster daughter and main advisor, Ming Xiang, it was no wonder the Old Madam always had Susu and the others in her heart. Those kids truly cared for the elderly woman from the bottom of their hearts.

Though aged, she was not senile, and if anyone intended to take advantage of the chaos, they must seek her permission! Furthermore, the master was just temporarily indisposed, and with the internal matters that led to Susu’s departure, there was some disillusionment. Once the master recovered, all mischievous creatures would be dealt with.
