Unlimited Resources: Raising a Minister with a Space Supermarket-Chapter 429 - 398: Su Dafu Passes Away

Jiang Haiqiu quickly brought over the freshly cooked hot meal, only to find his little wife holding a small mirror, examining her face from all angles.

"Do I not look good today?" She thought she looked stunning, so why didn’t Jiang Haiqiu have any reaction?

Jiang Haiqiu’s face turned red.

He hadn’t expected Sun Manxia to ask him so directly.

To be honest, ever since lifting the bridal veil, he had been too nervous to look his little wife in the eye.

In his memory, it was the plain-looking Sun Manxia, who swept snow with him, played pranks crazily with him, with her long hair and rosy cheeks.

Today’s Sun Manxia was very different from before!

She looked so beautiful that he almost didn’t recognize her, as if she had turned into a different person; if it weren’t for the mole in her eyebrow, he would have suspected someone had swapped his bride.

His wife... was very beautiful!

"Beautiful!" Jiang Haiqiu’s gaze met Sun Manxia’s puzzled eyes, then he heard his heart pounding wildly, the thumping sound was loud.

"Then why didn’t you compliment me when you lifted the veil?" Sun Manxia pouted.

"I wonder if it’s still in time to compliment you now?" Jiang Haiqiu chuckled.

"Hmph, too late!" Sun Manxia crossed her arms, pretending to be angry.

Jiang Haiqiu walked up to Sun Manxia, "Manxia, you’re so beautiful I’m afraid to acknowledge it, such a lovely person turned out to be my wife. Haha..."

Jiang Haiqiu giggled foolishly!

Sun Manxia finally heard what she wanted to hear, her heart bloomed with joy, and she shyly lowered her head.

Yu Xiaolian recently often used a telescope to watch from the cliff, and it paid off, as she saw people up there again, but like last time, the two people just turned around and vanished.

"Lian’er, today I made your favorite shrimp steamed egg and braised ribs, come down and eat!" Sun called out to Yu Xiaolian from the courtyard, asking her to come downstairs for the meal.

Upon hearing about the delicious food, Yu Xiaolian immediately put on her shoes and hurried downstairs.

As she walked into the courtyard, the gatekeeper rushed to report, "Miss, someone from the Su Family came with a message, saying the master has passed away, they’re still waiting outside, do you want to see them?"

The smile on Yu Xiaolian’s face suddenly froze, Su Dafu died? How could that be? Escaped the bandits, yet couldn’t escape fate?

"Let them in!"

The Su Family servant bringing the message was called Cao Gen, and she knew him.

As soon as Cao Gen saw her, he relayed everything Su Jingchen had asked him to convey.

Su Dafu died at the hands of Ning Chuyu, who poisoned him through the food and then took poison herself.

"Why did she do that? Wasn’t it said that she was pregnant?" Yu Xiaolian was puzzled.

Cao Gen sighed, "Maybe the master forced her, and she held a grudge all along!"

"Is everyone else okay? How about Jingyue? Is he alright?"

"The young master is fine; coincidentally, he went to the Zhao Family to have a meal with classmates that day and wasn’t home!

But our master said that according to the law, after the master’s death, he can’t enter the examination hall for three years!" Cao Gen was also quite shocked by Su Dafu’s sudden death, he never expected Aunt Ning to dare to poison their master, truly the most venomous is a woman’s heart!

Even though their master had already agreed to make her his main wife after she gave birth, what good days awaited her! Yet she didn’t cherish it, insisted on causing a family tragedy, truly a pity for the child in her belly.

Knowing that Su Dafu had already been buried, Yu Xiaolian regretted not being able to bid him the last farewell.

"Our young master knew there was a wedding here, so he didn’t notify you. White and red events clashing always needs avoiding, or it may bring a sense of ill omen."

Yu Xiaolian nodded, "What is he doing now?"

Cao Gen said, "The young master is... quite despondent, hasn’t eaten or drunk for days!"

Their father passed, even if the father-son relationship wasn’t good, it would still cause some grief.

"Not eating or drinking for several days, wouldn’t that bring him near death?"

Cao Gen said awkwardly, "No, it’s not that!" Seeing him suffer a bit, the man was still okay.

"Mom, I’m going to see him!" Yu Xiaolian turned and said to Sun.

Sun, having been listening beside, hurriedly replied upon seeing the great event in the Su Family, "Go, go!"

Yu Xiaolian didn’t even change her clothes; she called for Sun Mancang and immediately returned to Luocheng with Cao Gen.

The courtyard of the Su Family was originally rented by Su Dafu, later he earned quite a bit of money following Zheng Yuanfeng, and bought this courtyard, also purchasing many servants and maids.

If Ning Chuyu could let it go, she would actually enjoy much comfort.

Regarding Ning Chuyu’s matters, Su Jingchen never mentioned them in front of her, and when she found out Ning Chuyu was carrying Su Dafu’s child, she was extremely surprised.

Originally his son’s wife suddenly became his father’s, who wouldn’t be surprised? 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Su Jingchen only said that to avoid seeing Ning Chuyu, he rarely went to the main hall, meals were delivered by servants to his room.

He said Su Dafu and Ning Chuyu seemed very ’harmonious.’

Yu Xiaolian thought, Su Dafu must have regretted at his deathbed, regretting saving Ning Chuyu from the Ma Family, or regretting forcing Ning Chuyu to be his concubine.

When Yu Xiaolian saw Su Jingchen, he was standing by the window, holding a teacup, not quite as described by Cao Gen, without eating or drinking.

"Uncle is gone, you should have sent word; as his unwed daughter-in-law, I should attend his final farewell!"

Su Jingchen turned around, "According to ancient customs, it’s unnecessary!"

Yu Xiaolian sighed, "How are you now? And Jingyue?"

"I... am fine! Jingyue should be in his room!"

Yu Xiaolian noticed Su Jingchen, compared to a few days ago, had lost quite a bit of weight, making her heart ache, "The matter has happened, you should take it easy, take care of yourself and Jingyue, if you fall ill from not eating or drinking, what would happen to Jingyue? What about me?"

Su Jingchen forced himself to muster a slight smile, "I’m alright!"

"Brother, Brother..." Su Jingyue rushed in hurriedly, clutching a letter.

"Brother, I found this in Dad’s study..."

Actually, when Su Jingyue discovered this letter, he was quite conflicted.

He struggled with whether to let his brother know about it, Dad is gone, and his brother is his only kin, but the letter’s content reveals that his brother isn’t their father’s son, which Su Jingyue found hard to accept.

But on second thought, even if the letter is true, and he and his brother do not share the same father, they are born of the same mother, at this thought, Su Jingyue hurriedly took the letter to find Su Jingchen.
