Chapter 398

Du Heng sat on the carriage going back, still sullen.

Ah Su is no longer the ignorant and ignorant little girl she used to be.

She followed Du Heng, watched the young lady change little by little, and when she learned not to speak, she kept silent.

The master and servant went home like this.

After Du Heng arrived home, he first sent someone to quietly deliver a letter to Meng Qing's mansion. As for the content of the letter, he naturally kept it from A Su.

Seeing that the miss handed over the letter to the boy, Ah Su locked herself in the study, knowing that she would not look for her again this morning, so she went to the nanny's room.

"Mammy? Are you there?"

Du Heng's wet nurse has been sick these days, and because she was afraid of making her sick, she didn't serve her. She only went to the yard occasionally to get some fresh air, and rested in her room most of the time.

Hearing the little girl's voice at the door, Mammy called her: "A Su, come in."

A Su pushed open the door, sniffed, then frowned and asked, "Did Madam not take any medicine today?"

The old woman smiled, pulled Asu to her side, asked her to sit down, and said: "It's useless to drink the bitter soup, it's better not to drink it."

When A Su was in front of the nanny, she showed some girlish charm, and she only persuaded softly: "Didn't the nanny teach Ah Su? Illness comes like a mountain, and it goes like a thread. No matter what kind of illness it is, you have to treat it well." Keep it up and wait patiently for it to recover. Mammy refuses to take medicine, how can the disease be cured?"

The wet nurse also watched A Su grow up and raised her as her own daughter. Seeing that she cared about her body, she just stroked the back of A Su's hand and said, "Listen to you, listen to you. Wait a minute Call someone to decoct the medicine."

Asuyang smiled and said: "Don't wait a while, I'll let the small kitchen decoct the medicine."

Mammy couldn't stop calling her, A Su had already run out in a hurry.

When she came back and sat down next to Nanny again, the old man said helplessly, "You girl, when will you change your frizzy temper?"

A Su stuck out her tongue, but didn't make a sound.

The nanny knew that A Su had gone out with Du Heng in the morning, so she asked her, "How is Miss Today? Are you feeling alright?"

Speaking of Du Heng, the smile on Ah Su's face quickly disappeared, and a pair of bright eyes were cast with a faint shadow.

Looking at A Su's appearance, Mammy knew that she must not be going well today, so she just stroked the little girl's head to comfort her.

She said in a muffled voice: "Miss, haven't you been in a bad mood these days? It didn't get better today, but worse."

Mammy sighed in her heart, and asked her, "I heard it's about cloth village? You went with Miss to see it, how is it?"

A Su shook his head and said, "Not too good. Our Jinxiu cloth shop has a bad reputation now, and even customers don't come to the door."

She told the mother what had happened these days in detail, and told the mother about Du Heng's performance in Buzhuang just now, but the smile on the old man's face gradually disappeared.

A Su lowered his head, bit his lip and said nothing.

She knew that, as the lady's maid, she should think of various ways to solve Du Heng's problems; but after these days, A Su felt as if she was living like a shadow, following the lady, but without any more emotions.

This made her feel guilty, not to Du Heng, but to Mammy.

Only Mammy sighed and said to A Su: "My good boy, Mammy didn't blame you."

A Su's voice was muffled: "Nurse also said in front of her head, let me always look at the young lady and persuade the young lady..."

Nanny stretched out her hand, touched Ah Su's soft cheek, shook her head and said, "The past was the past, and the present is the present. Miss is in a state where she can't even listen to my words. What's the use of your persuasion?"

Du Heng is now living in her own world. She runs a pawn shop, opens a cloth shop, joins forces with Meng Qing, and handles villages in the countryside. She seems to be doing her own thing, but there is a shadow behind all of this.

Everything she does and thinks is inseparable from this shadow.

Ah Su is not a fool, so she can see it naturally, but she can't understand: "Mother, why do you think Miss can't let go of Mr. Lin? He is good, but no matter how good he is, he is not a lover. Why did Miss Don't understand?"

The nanny glanced at A Su: "You understand the truth, can Miss not understand? It's just an obsession."

Du Heng still often shuts herself in the study, not letting others get close to her. A Su saw that she was writing a letter to Lin Zhi.

Although those letters were always burned after they were written, Ah Su really didn't understand the significance of the lady's doing so.

"The troubles in the cloth village were also caused by Mr. Lin... If it weren't for this man surnamed Lin, the lady would not hate Miss Yao so much, let alone target Yao Ji cloth village. Let's open the door and do business well. What's wrong? In this way, it's all messed up."

Hearing Ah Su's complaint in a low voice, Mammy frowned and told her: "If this is the case, you must not let Miss know."

Aso nodded.

Today's Du Heng is no longer the young lady who grew up with her in the past. Apart from putting her emotions on the illusory Mr. Lin, she is unwilling to share a little bit with others.

A Su knew that if the young lady heard what she said, she would definitely dislike her without hesitation.

The nanny asked again: "How does the lady deal with the troubles in the cloth village?"

A Su whispered: "Miss gave the shopkeeper ten days, and said that if the shopkeeper can't solve the trouble within ten days, let him go."

The old and the young were relatively silent for a while, and Ah Su saw the exhaustion and disappointment in the eyes of the nanny.

She whispered: "Nurse, I know that I should persuade the young lady... By doing this, the young lady will not only fail to solve the problem, but also lose the shopkeeper's heart. I, I just don't know how to speak..."

Nanny patted A Su's hand and said in a low voice, "I'll tell you about this later, don't open your mouth."

Du Heng is now like a hedgehog covered with thorns, and from time to time he has to stab the closest people.It's just that Mammy is her wet nurse, who brought her up since she was a child, and Du Heng is more or less concerned about affection in front of Mammy.

But Aso is different.For the same question last time, A Su just reminded Du Heng a few words, and then he was scolded and almost kicked out.

In her private heart, Mammy didn't want Ah Su to be embarrassed by Du Heng again.

A Su looked into Mammy's eyes worriedly, and asked her, "How does Mammy plan to persuade Miss?"

Mammy didn't feel confident either.

If we say that in the past, even if Du Heng lost his temper, he always abided by everyone's ladylike rules. He has never acted so unscrupulously as he is now, and he is so stubborn that he can't listen to others.

The nanny sighed, and said to A Su in a low voice: "It's just showing off this old face, and letting the young lady do it again."

After that, she straightened up and brushed her gray hair.

Mammy's wind-cold medicine decoction came, A Su waited for her to drink the medicine, and tidied her clothes.

Seeing Mammy's determined eyes, Ah Su's eye circles suddenly turned red.

Good medicine tastes bad and is good for the disease, even if Mammy's words are not pleasing to the ear, I hope the young lady will not be too harsh on the old man because of Mammy's affection for her from childhood to adulthood.
