Chapter 355 Old Mrs. Su Pretends to Be Sick

Old Su tossed aside his pipe and loudly berated Old Mrs. Wang, saying, "Look at this! I told you it wouldn't work. That workshop wasn't run by Xiaoman and her family. You stubborn old woman wouldn't believe me and even called your son and daughter-in-law over. Now, give me that thousand taels of silver as compensation!"

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Wang was speechless.

She was too frightened to speak anymore. "Alright then, let's leave it at that for now. Anyway, this matter hasn't been settled yet, so let's leave it at that!"

After saying that, Old Mrs. Wang was about to send Pei Yuan and Su Xiaoxiao away. Although it was lunchtime, she had no intention of keeping them.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to eat there at all. Before leaving, she handed an earring to Su Xiuer in front of everyone and said, "Xiuer, is this your earring?"

Su Xiuer took the earrings as soon as she saw them. They were pearl earrings, a gift from Prince Gong. She had worn them to the play at the Hundred Flowers Grand Theatre with Prince Gong, but she found them missing when she returned. However, she wasn't entirely sure where she had lost them.

She took the pearl earring and asked casually, quite happily, "Yes, it's mine. Where did you find it?"

Su Xiaoxiao replied, "Your brother and I found it on our seats when we went to the Baihua Grand Theater that day."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yuan exclaimed, "What? Su Xiuer also went to the Hundred Flowers Grand Theater that day, and even watched the play in the same high-class private box that he and Xiaoxiao used to stay in?"

So, who did Su Xiuer go with? The whole family turned their questioning gazes to Su Xiuer. Su Xiuer was stunned by the question and stammered, just about to say something to cover it up.

Su Xiaoxiao then said, "Oh, wasn't Xiuer and Prince Gong watching the play in front of us that day? She probably accidentally dropped her earring in the box."

When Su Xiaoxiao started mentioning Prince Gong, Su Xiuer actually wanted to grab her by the neck, afraid that she would reveal more things.

Su Xiuer even suspected that Su Xiaoxiao might have secretly followed them into the theater that day and then spied on the filthy things she and the prince were doing.

In that case, what about her innocence?
Su Xiuer found it increasingly terrifying the more she thought about it. She had never been so afraid of Su Xiaoxiao before, always thinking that Su Xiaoxiao must be the kind of person who kept a low profile. Now she really didn't expect that Su Xiaoxiao would actually resort to stalking.

Speaking of stalking, the only way to describe Su Xiaoxiao's feelings at this moment is "coincidences are the best-kept secrets." In fact, she didn't want to stalk Su Xiuer at all.

But why does Su Xiuer always manage to discover her shameful deeds unintentionally?

Actually, Su Xiaoxiao didn't quite understand why fate always made her see this scene with dirty eyes.

Su Xiuer's expression seemed to say, "Alright, please don't say any more!"

However, Su Xiaoxiao felt that if she were more eloquent, she would say more.

The room was silent for a long time before Pei Yuan finally reacted, "Little sister, you went to the theater that day too? Who did you go to the theater with?"

Once Su Xiaoxiao answered, Su Xiuer was speechless. She could only stand there awkwardly, unsure of what to say. After all, other family members were also very curious about this. Yes, who did you go to such a big theater with?
"Oh, you guys just leave it alone!" After saying that, she glared at Su Xiaoxiao in front of her and then left.

Old Mrs. Wang was also very curious. Why hadn't her daughter told her about this? She had originally wanted to announce the marriage, but she felt a little hesitant to say it, since she didn't know how far her daughter's relationship with Prince Gong had progressed.

Su Xiaoxiao's counterattack ultimately brought the family meeting to a close, and nothing else happened.

Although Su Xiuer was almost driven to her death by Su Xiaoxiao, she felt guilty and somewhat in the wrong, so she left early.

Su Xiaoxiao and Pei Yuan left the Su family's old house, and a few days later they heard that Old Madam Wang was sick again, and doctors had been invited to their home.

Pei Yuan wanted to go back to check on his mother to see if she was seriously injured, but Su Xiaoxiao stopped him.

"You'd better not go back. Who knows if you're really sick!"

When Su Xiaoxiao said this, Pei Yuan was taken aback.

However, he soon realized that his mother, Old Madam Wang, was always causing trouble, and her desire for shares in their workshop this time was quite unexpected.

Why would this happen? They couldn't understand why they would have such thoughts. It was indeed because Old Madam Wang always tried to create some kind of trouble, with the aim of attracting them over. She would either spend money on the family or try to take away their family's shares. All of this showed that Old Madam Wang was indeed treacherous. But even so, she was still Su Ping'an's mother.

Su Ping'an was also confused by his concern. After the barefoot doctor finished examining his mother, he waited alone at the village entrance and asked the doctor about his mother's condition.

The barefoot doctor asked in great surprise, "Was that old lady from the Su family just now your mother?"

Su Ping'an quickly agreed, "Yes!"

He noticed something was off about the barefoot doctor's expression. "It's your mother, but she's really quite amazing!"

The barefoot doctor exclaimed in admiration, "In all my years of practicing medicine, I've treated countless patients, but I truly cannot diagnose your mother's illness!"

Su Ping'an was quite nervous upon hearing this, "Could it be that my mother has some serious illness? Is that why you can't understand?"

Upon hearing this, the barefoot doctor burst into laughter and said, "Yes, with your mother's illness, even a god couldn't cure her!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ping'an became even more frightened. Could it be that his mother was beyond saving?

The barefoot doctor noticed Su Ping'an's nervous expression, so he stopped beating around the bush.

"What I really wanted to say was that your mother is perfectly healthy, and there's not a single symptom you can tell. So even if a miracle worker came, it wouldn't help. The key is that she's genuinely faking illness here. I really didn't expect that someone would suddenly appear pretending to be sick. I've been treating patients for so many years, and I've never seen anyone like this before."

After saying this, the barefoot doctor shook his head helplessly and walked away.
