Chapter 2202: Chapter 2202: Has Gu Ya Returned Yet?
Gu Ya hasn’t returned for too long, and Mrs. An has grown suspicious too, often coming to Su Yunjin’s residence to ask about Gu Ya.
Mrs. An showed up every few days until Su Yunjin told her that Gu Ya would be back by the end of the year, which finally stopped her from constantly visiting Su Yunjin.
Mrs. An feels she has been waiting for too long. Even if she cannot temporarily wrest the control from Su Yunjin, she can move into the residence first.
As the saying goes, "If you don’t enter the tiger’s lair, how can you catch its cub?" If she doesn’t move in to live with the couple, how can she seize the power?
Mrs. An has made up her mind, regardless of whether Gu Chengxiang agrees or not, she will move in with the couple, leaving Xiaoshan and Xiangxiang for Gu Chengxiang to take care of.
The fourth child is now helping at the gambling house to pay off debts, making it inconvenient to look after the two children. Usually, she is the one taking care of them. Once she moves to the couple’s residence, she can leave them to her husband, Gu Chengxiang.
Mrs. An’s calculations were perfect, and she was secretly pleased.
Su Yunjin wasn’t aware of Mrs. An’s plans. The weather grew colder day by day, clothes changed to thicker ones, and the maids had already started the charcoal fire and stove in the house. The kang was also heated warm. The maids were always ready with hot water bottles to keep the master warm.
Su Yunjin laid a thick carpet on the floor where the two children could crawl and play without feeling cold.
That morning, as Su Yunjin opened the door, a gust of cold wind blew into the house, accompanied by swirling heavy snow. Her eyes were filled with fluttering large snowflakes. Aunt Bao ran in from outside, rubbing her hands, saw Su Yunjin at the door, quickly closed it, and pulled Su Yunjin back inside.
"Madam, with such heavy snow outside, quickly come back inside, be careful not to catch a cold." Aunt Bao had gone out earlier and saw the streets covered in thick snow, the rooftops even more so, all in a blanket of white. This year’s snow seemed heavier than in previous years; though it was cold before, it was never as cold as now, nor was the snow as heavy.
Aunt Bao shook off the snow from her body as she had just come in from outside, almost turned into a snowman.
Su Yunjin chuckled and called two maids to help Aunt Bao brush off the snow.
The room was warm, and Aunt Bao took off her cloak and walked in, placing the food box on the table.
"Madam, these are all your favorite foods. I specifically instructed the kitchen to make them for you." Aunt Bao opened the food box and took things out one by one.
Millet porridge, steamed dumplings, big buns, and tomato sauce noodles were freshly made, still steaming hot.
Su Yunjin sat beside the table, and Aunt Bao handed her the porridge and spoon, "Madam, it’s cold, and things cool quickly, so eat while it’s hot. Eating hot things will warm you up."
Su Yunjin took a sip of the porridge with the spoon, outside the snow was so heavy, Gu Ya still hadn’t returned, and Su Yunjin couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.
Aunt Bao noticed Su Yunjin’s concern, "Madam, are you worried about the young master?"
"Aunt, my husband should be back these days. But now with the icy weather outside, who knows how my husband and his travel party are managing on the road?" Putting down the spoon, Su Yunjin lost her appetite, her mind filled with thoughts of Gu Ya.
Aunt Bao was worried too, with such icy weather, even walking was inconvenient, let alone traveling by cart.
