Chapter 197 Someone is thinking about Wu Shi
As a result, one day half a month before the marriage, when she saw the heartbroken look on the face of her cousin Su, she realized that there had been a person who admired her so much standing by her side for so many years. Unfortunately, their fate was already determined and the two of them could only be a thing of the past, so Mrs. Pei sighed lightly.

"Forget it. You are old now, why do you still think about these things? It is not necessarily because of me that my cousin from the Su family has not married yet. I heard that he has a big business, so I guess it is because he has too many things to do and has no time to waste on love. Isn't he always like this?"

"Madam, why haven't you figured it out yet? The young master of the Su family could have passed the imperial examination, so why did he suddenly stop studying and instead follow an inconspicuous relative to do business? He just wanted to earn enough money to support you. Do you think that the money sent from Xuanzhou over the years was really given to you by the old lady for your private use? No! It was all given by the young master of the Su family!"

Mrs. Pei was indeed quite surprised to hear the news. She had spent a huge amount of money over the years to pave the way for Pei Zisu and his two siblings, and her own dowry had been almost used up, so she wrote a letter to her parents' home for help with a fluke mentality.

Unexpectedly, after that incident, her mother would give her tens of thousands of taels of silver every year. She always thought that it was because her mother's dowry was generous, but she didn't expect that it was actually her cousin from the Su family who secretly supported her.

It was tens of thousands a year, and over ten years it would be almost one million taels. Such a huge number made Mrs. Pei speechless for a moment, and then she asked with some anger.

"When did you know this? Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, how could I have taken the money?"

"Madam, please don't misunderstand. I only learned about this last year. Before that, the old lady repeatedly warned me not to tell anyone about this. I learned about it last year because the old lady let me know. Although she is far away in Xuanzhou, she has always been concerned about you."

This was true. Her mother often wrote to her, and Mrs. Pei was aware of this.

"Over the years, she has witnessed the silent affection that the young master of the Su family has for you, and then thought about the master's determination to reject you, and she always regretted why she didn't refuse the marriage! The reason why she didn't take action was simply because the eldest brother and his family were still young. But now it's different. The eldest brother has already married, and she naturally hopes that the lady can also find her own happiness, so she asked the people in her hometown to tell this old slave."

"I wanted to tell you when I first found out. Maybe my elder brother was busy with his marriage at that time, and you were busy with all sorts of things at home. I saw that you were also exhausted, so I delayed it until today. If Madam wants to blame me, I will bear it, but I still want to advise you. You still have a lot of life to live in the future. How can you live alone like this? You should also feel sorry for yourself."

Of course, Nanny Wu knew that Madam Pei had no feelings for the Su family's cousin, otherwise she wouldn't have mentioned him so many times in all the years since she got married. The reason why she said this now was simply because she hoped that Madam could live a better life.

Therefore, in her opinion, the young master of the Su family is the most suitable candidate for this responsibility, which is why she tried hard to persuade him tonight.

Mrs. Pei looked at the wine in her hand and then drank it all.

It was a bitter smile at first, but tears started to fall as he smiled.

I don't know why my mind suddenly recalled those scenes of myself laughing and chatting with my cousin Su when I was young. They were all vivid in my mind, but I felt that things and people have changed a little. I looked at the moon in the sky and said to the nanny next to me.

"I can't go back. If I really accepted him reluctantly because of the deep affection of my cousin from the Su family, it would be unfair to him. He should find a woman who loves him and spend the rest of his life with him, not someone as unfeeling and indifferent as me. Do you understand?"

In order to help the three children stabilize the situation in the Pei family over the years, Mrs. Pei did a lot of bad things, especially during the tit-for-tat days with Aunt An, she was not clean either. Therefore, she was no longer the girl as clear as the moon and breeze in the heart of the Su family cousin, but a ruthless Mrs. Pei in order to gain a foothold in the back house and pave a future for her children. So even if she was reluctant, her final tablet would only have the words "Mrs. Wu of the Pei Clan" written on it, and she would be buried in the ancestral tomb of the Pei family forever and receive incense and offerings from the descendants of the Pei family.

She felt bitter whenever she thought of Madam Wu, but she also knew that she couldn't persuade the Madam's temper, so she could only sigh again and again, and then she heard Madam Pei say to her.

"Please tell my mother for me, and ask her to tell my cousin that I am not worthy of him, and that he should find a good woman to spend the rest of his life with as soon as possible."

"Would you like to write a letter? Wouldn't that be better?"

"Why write a letter? It's just to give someone a thought of never forgetting. Just answer according to what I said. It's been more than ten years. If cousin Su can understand, he will know that it's time to cut off the emotional ties. Maybe after this painful experience, he can embrace a new life and new hope. This is the only thing I can do for him."

Hearing this, Nanny Wu had nothing more to say. As for the Madam's miserable life in this world, it seemed that nothing else mattered to her except being able to accompany her with her life. So she followed the Madam and drank cup after cup of sake, which tasted bitter.

The bright moon hanging in the sky is still cold and clear, quietly watching the joys and sorrows of the world.

Compared to the deserted Ning'an Garden, Prince Chun's Mansion is bustling at this moment.

Prince Chun, who had been fooling around outside, finally had time to go home, so he asked the princess consort to host a reunion dinner. Except for the Crown Princess Jiang Shijin who was "recuperating", everyone else in Prince Chun's mansion was present.

Compared to the thin lineage of the princess, the descendants of Concubine Xun are quite prosperous.

She gave birth to a son and a daughter, the eldest son Song Shiyun and the only daughter Song Shihuan. After Song Shiyun married the daughter of the Bai family, he also gave birth to a son and a daughter, the seven-year-old Song Haozheng and the four-year-old Song Xueying, both of whom looked like Concubine Xun.

She is extremely good-looking and has a very pleasing personality.

Picking up the wine cup at hand, she knew how to behave herself and immediately spoke to Prince Chun and Princess Chun.

"I offer a glass of wine to wish the prince and princess a long and happy family life and a prosperous offspring."

Her words were undoubtedly a stab in the back of the princess. After all, everyone knew that the pregnant Crown Prince's wife had a miscarriage, and there had been no news about Concubine Zhao who had entered the house for several months. Wasn't this a satire that their lineage would be extinct?
