Chapter 112 Crisis

Su Boyong fell down, but the busyness that followed was not just the Su family's big house. As soon as the news came from the yamen, everyone understood that someone was going to attack the Su family. From the afternoon, the entire Su family's power in the city had become busy. The shopkeeper, the manager, and various employees who helped to provide advice began to rush to the Su family, the second and third houses... and the big houses had even more things.

In the past, Su Tan'er was in charge of the business of the big house and said that he had already taken over half of it, but behind it, there was actually Su Boyong in charge. As soon as Su Boyong fell, his control over the entire big house had been directly pressed on Su Tan'er's back. The old lady might have consciously shared some of it, but this old man also had more important things to do. After all, he was old and could not come out to carry the entire Su family again.

After the old lady left in the afternoon, Su Zhongkan and Su Yunfang also left anxiously, and Su Tan'er also began to summon all the people who could be called into the mansion. This time, even the shopkeepers who Su Boyong had been in charge of the past were called. In fact, even if they followed the previous steps, these shopkeepers could support them for a long time. But if someone really acted as a driving force behind the scenes, the entire Su family's business across the country would become very dangerous, not to mention that the city gates were closed at this time, and the news was about to be transmitted in and out. I don't know how many times slower than before.

After hearing Su Boyong's injury, Su Tan'er's mother fainted. Su Tan'er then accompanied Su Tan'er in the room. Ning Yi told Chan'er and Juan'er and others to go out to deal with some trivial matters. When the lights first came on, he left the yard. When he came back, the lights had already been put on the room. Su Tan'er's mother had also woken up. When he approached the room, he saw the figure inside and heard the sound. Su Tan'er's mother and two aunts were crying inside, talking. Su Tan'er sat there silently. After hearing a few words, Ning Yi probably understood.

The three women were crying and complaining about Su Tan'er, complaining about her strength, and complaining about... this time the matter about the Imperial Merchants.

"I've said it long ago... Why are girls so forced to do..."

"Who knows if there are no second and third uncles in this incident..."

"They know that Tan'er is going to be an imperial merchant..."

"I was talking about it a few days ago..."

"Maybe they were scared... If they were really done, they would just be useless..."

"We women also know this..."

Su Boyong is still very good at managing the big house in all aspects, but his wife, Su Tan'er's mother, is a bit weak, mainly because she only gave birth to a daughter for Su Boyong and was not confident in speaking in such a family. Later, she helped Su Boyong marry two concubines, but the big house still had nothing to do. Only then did everyone think that it might be Su Boyong's problem, but by this time, everyone's status and style had basically been determined.

In the early years, because Su Tan'er was a girl, she was not very loving as a mother and wanted to have a boy. This probably laid the foundation for the way the mother and daughter get along with each other is similar to that of the father and daughter. She was not very friendly. When Su Tan'er wanted to come into contact with business at home, she objected, but then she didn't say much. Now, even if she missed the relatively normal mother-daughter relationship, she was at a loss.

The two concubines don’t have much say in front of Su Tan'er on weekdays. At this time, they only dared to cry and make indirect hints.

Su Tan'er wanted to take the imperial merchants, but there were not many people in her family who knew about it and could see through it. But even if she was always hidden, she would always have to be on the surface. After all, there were officials who were responsible for the imperial merchants. When Jiangning weaving these things, it was about to be true, and it would still be exposed. A few days before the city gate was closed, probably after talking with Xi Junyu, Su Tan'er had officially met with people in this field and put out the relationships she had established in the past. This year, the imperial merchants really wanted to take it down, that is, within the next one or two months.

As soon as the matter was exposed, others saw it, especially for the Su family. They originally wanted to give Su Tan'er some trouble waiting for her to lose the opportunity to compete for the head of the family because of her identity. Who knew that this woman was so powerful in secret. If the matter of the Imperial Merchant is really beautiful and profitable, there would be no dispute in the future.

Since the city gate was closed for a few days, this matter has been circulating and talking about it among the people, and Su Boyong's affairs came into being. Su Tan'er's mother and aunt were all in the house, and the feelings of kindness and malice were all directed at these members of the family. At this time, of course, she was suspicious of Su Zhongkan and Su Yunfang. Some of them took risks. Even if they sold their homes, they would not let Su Tan'er take them all... It would be better to get less than nothing... Women's family thoughts often turn on this.

At this time, Su Tan'er's mother was crying, and her two aunts were also crying, with trivial words and complaining, and insidious... In the figures reflected on the window, Su Tan'er sat there and looked down silently, without saying anything, without refuting. Ning Yi knocked on the door. After opening it, he saw Su Tan'er still had the blood stain on her body, sitting on a small stool beside the bed, clenched her fists and resting on her legs, looking at a point on the ground, with indifference not changing.

Ning Yi greeted his two aunts and mother-in-law on the bed. The mother-in-law was still crying, but she ignored him. She looked a little resentful and more sad. She complained that Su Tan'er was too strong, and she was mostly resentful to Ning Yi, her son-in-law. There were also family members, two younger brothers who were thinking about competing for family property, two houses and three houses... This is also common for wealthy families.

"...Several shopkeepers have arrived, so I'll come over and take a look. Storekeeper Liao has something for Tan'er to show..."

After greeting and calling, Ning Yi said this, Tan'er nodded, then wiped the corners of her eyes over there, and whispered to her mother, the two aunts apologized and said goodbye, and was somewhat perfunctory. But she couldn't care at this time. When she left the door and left the yard, Su Tan'er and Ning Yi were walking on the road, and the stars shone down. She looked at the surrounding scenery indifferently. When she walked silently to the door of the yard where she lived, Xiaochan had already been waiting there and trotted over.

"Son-in-law, the hot water is ready." She looked at the lady next to her.

(, of course, Baidu      Bar    Baidu Post Bar        Son-in-law                                    

Su Tan'er frowned: "Shopkeeper Liao..."

"I'm talking nonsense. You've been sitting for a day. If you're still busy at night, then go and take a shower first." Ning Yi said.

Su Tan'er was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look at Ning Yi, and after a while, she nodded silently: "Honey, thank you..." After saying this, she walked towards the yard, and then saw her raising her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, but there was not much hesitation in her steps. Ning Yi signaled to Xiaochan and asked her to follow her.

The starry night was hanging high, and the moonlight turned from round to vacancies, as if it was bitten by something. The moonlight, starlight, and lights gathered together in the Su family mansion, with all kinds of noisy voices and footsteps. Ning Yi stood there thinking about it and sighed slightly. This night, he would probably not sleep all night...

For half a night, the lights in the next yard were still on the verge of lights. Su Tan'er and the shopkeepers of the big house held a meeting overnight, predicting what might happen, discussing ways to deal with it, and guessing that the enemies behind them might find help in the future. There is not much clue yet, but all the things that should be prepared must be prepared.

Chan'er, Juan'er, Xing'er and the three maids were busy with their own affairs. Relatively speaking, the yard here was relatively deserted. Ning Yi was relatively idle because in the eyes of most people, it was not his business, nor was it his ability to participate or change. He took half a bowl of peanuts and slowly peeled it in the pavilion in the middle of the yard while feeling the atmosphere coming from the entire mansion, thinking about the possible reasons for this matter and the direction he would go.

Of course, there are not many clues that can be grasped. If there is any result, it is impossible. When Xiaochan hurriedly walked through the corridor, she saw that there was no one, leaned over and hugged him. After letting go of his hand, she pursed her lips: "Son-in-law, are you worried?" She said in a low voice, thinking that she was planning to comfort Ning Yi. Ning Yi smiled and took a few peanuts and put them in her hand: "I'm fine, go and do it, look at some Tan'er."

The little maid nodded, put a few peanuts in her arms, thought for a while, then turned around and walked away: "Son-in-law, go to bed early..."

About an hour later, Juan'er looked here as she walked past the eaves, and then came over to sit quietly. Ning Yi was bored and putting the peanut shells on the table as various interests related to this incident. Juan'er probably couldn't understand it. She sat quietly for a while, looking at the bowl of peanuts that filled with peanuts, Ning Yi glanced at her and pushed the bowl over: "What's wrong?"

Juan'er smiled: "When I passed there just now, Xiaochan took out a peanut from her arms and ate it. After eating one, she went to do things again. I went to ask her. She smiled and told me that my son-in-law gave her a few peanuts so that she could eat them until dawn..."

"Oh, so awesome..."

"So I'll eat one too." Juan'er said, taking a peanut from the bowl and peeling it and eating it, then got up and left. When she left, she said, "Son-in-law, go to bed early..."

Ning Yi looked at her leaving back and shook her head and smiled. It was hard to say how busy she was this night. Su Tan'er and many shopkeepers were mainly anxious and discussing, but for the time being, there was not much clue. Most of the people below were induced by this emotion and waiting. If they were not busy, they would probably be said to be incompetent. At present, if they really wanted to find a breakthrough, the Chen Er in the yamen was finally the one who was in the yamen. If they couldn't find who the mastermind was behind the scenes, the rest of the matter would have to wait until the other party got angry again before they could develop further.

After thinking about some of the things that he could think of, Ning Yi put away the peanut bowl and went back to his room to sleep. After about an hour of sleep, he got up again. It was already the darkest and quiet period before dawn, but the restlessness and restlessness of the entire Su family mansion could still be clearly felt. He brought a cup of tea out and went out. The yard next door was already dark. It was probably the shopkeepers who came to the meeting had left. Chan'er and Juan'er should have gone to rest for a while. The lights were still on in Su Tan'er's room. When Ning Yi walked over, she held a pen in her hand and was staring at the oil lamp on the table in a daze. A letter was half written and spread on the table. The letter should be sent out of the city.

Ning Yi walked to the window and placed the teacup on the table. Su Tan'er inside realized that she suddenly looked up at Ning Yi, and then her eyes became quiet. She looked at the teacup that was pushing over and was lost. Then she stretched out one hand to hold it and lowered her head.

"It's almost dawn." Ning Yi said.

(, of course, Baidu      Bar    Baidu Post Bar        Son-in-law                                                                                                    

Su Tan'er nodded, but did not answer. She was silent there for a long time before she raised her head and smiled slightly, her smile a little sad and cheerful: "Mom... and the aunt thought that it might be because the matter of the imperial merchant was exposed, so that someone would take risks. Some shopkeepers... also think so, the second and third bedrooms may also participate..."

"There is no shortage of idiots in this world." Ning Yi nodded, "but idiots can't do big things."

"Ha..." Su Tan'er smiled, "Even if there is, they cannot be the dominant one. Besides, the second and third houses know about the matter of the Imperial Merchants for only a few days. They are not so decisive. It is impossible for them to be determined to sell their home so quickly. They have made up their minds and have no ability. The people behind them must have planned for a long time. But even so... they can't say that they have nothing to do with me."

Su Tan'er is independent and persevering. Even if these things have happened, she still calmly began to deal with everything, actively respond to it, and support the overall situation tonight. Her father has fallen, so she must not be able to fall. This kind of mentality is stronger than that of ordinary men, and it is the real attitude of doing things. However, when talking about these things, there are still tears in her eyes. The woman raised her head and took back some tears.

"But no matter what, if things are decided and you have to do it, there will definitely be resistance, and any resistance may be there. If you want to avoid anything, then nothing will be done. My husband... I will continue to do things... After doing it, everything will be clear."

Su Tan'er looked at him, smiled, and then sniffed. Rather than saying this to Ning Yi, she was talking to herself. Ning Yi nodded, turned around and left, and then turned back.

"I just made the tea... I finished my work earlier and went to bed earlier."

"Thank you, my husband..."

Everyone is the same type of person, and Ning Yi probably understands that crisis is a crisis. This time, the blow may be too great, but Su Tan'er does not need much sympathy. For the entire Su family, this is just a process of dealing with the crisis. She clearly understands everything she should do and what she can do, and just watch her do it.

However, in the following days, perhaps due to the occurrence of some unexpected situations, the whole situation took a sharp turn for the worse...

Ning Yi has not gone out in the past few days.

(, of course, Baidu      Bar    Baidu Post Bar        Son-in-law                                                                                                    

The situation in the Su family was messy. Ning Yi could only watch it, and of course he couldn't intervene. In the past few days, the old lady Su Yu, Su Zhongkan and Su Yunfang often went out to visit this person and that person, but there was no new progress in the yamen. Some shopkeepers of the big house frequently visited the officials of the Weaving Bureau. In this case, they clearly showed the momentum that the imperial merchants were bound to win this time - Su Tan'er used it as the correct strategy for the response. For these things, she had been in charge for more than a year. Once she showed it, it would be a stunning courage for others.

Su Boyong's injury is still wandering on the line of life and death, and it is hard to say what will happen in the end. Everyone is silent. Su Tan'er goes to see it once a day, and when she does things, she can't stop her from doing it.

Ning Yi would occasionally watch the shopkeepers coming in and out on the second floor, occasionally dictating the latest progress of news, and more often, reading books and writing, and summarizing these developments in his mind.

The situation happened quietly. Four days after Su Boyong fell, about July 22, on the morning of July 22, Ning Yi noticed that Su Tan'er's mental changes seemed to have changed. She seemed to have a cold, but this perversion was not just physical, but mentally different from when she talked to him a few nights ago.

After that evening, many shopkeepers were called to the mansion to discuss matters. When Chan'er and Juan'er were busy receiving, Su Tan'er fell asleep in the room. Several pieces of letter paper were blown out by the wind. Ning Yi picked it up and took it in. He put the letter paper on the table beside Su Tan'er and pressed it with paperweight. Su Tan'er suddenly woke up, stood up and hit Ning Yi's arms, then took two steps away. Seeing that it was Ning Yi, he smiled weakly: "Ah, my husband."

Ning Yi looked at her a few times: "Do you have a fever?"

"Hmm?" Su Tan'er was stunned for a moment, reached out and touched her forehead, and then laughed for a while, and shook her head, "No, I'm just a little tired these days, and my husband knows... It's okay after the work is done."

After saying this, she turned her head and packed the letters on the table. Then Juan'er came over and said that the shopkeepers had arrived. Su Tan'er smiled apologetically at Ning Yi, then said a few words and went out with Juan'er.

In the evening, Ning Yi stood in front of the window on the second floor and looked at the scene in the next yard. Several servants and maids in the big room were guarding outside and having a meeting inside. Everyone was talking about messy things. Su Tan'er seemed to be in good spirits and said something when she saw her. After watching this for a while, Ning Yi sighed, turned around and went downstairs, and then went to the yard there.

Although the meeting was held, the maids over there were Chan'er Juan'er and Xing'er. Seeing Ning Yi's serious expression, they naturally would not stop him. But Xing'er followed him: "What's wrong with the son-in-law?"

"What happened? How many days has your lady been sick?"

"Miss..." Xing'er was stunned for a moment, and then she almost cried, "We... we found out today, but, but..."

Ning Yi walked into the room. Su Tan'er was facing away from the door, supporting her left hand at the table, lowered her head and dotted on the table with her right hand, and was talking about something. Seeing Ning Yi coming in, the shopkeepers looked at him. Ning Yi walked over and patted Su Tan'er on the shoulder. Su Tan'er subconsciously waved her hand, Ning Yi patted her again, and then she turned around and turned around, slightly confused, but she still smiled: "Honey, you..."

As soon as her left hand left the table, her body had actually shaken. Ning Yi covered her palms on her forehead, making it faintly hot. Su Tan'er lowered her head and climbed Ning Yi's palm with both hands.

"I'm fine, I'm fine..."

As she murmured, her body fell down softly. Xi Junyu came from the side to reach out, but Ning Yi had already picked up Su Tan'er's body.

"Miss!" Chan'er, Juan'er and Xing'er rushed in, and the shopkeepers also widened their eyes and stood up. The words were chaotic. But after a moment, a voice was pressed lightly on it, not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.

"You continue to discuss, Manager Liao will help you to preside over. Juan'er, go and call Dr. Sun over. Chan'er comes with me. Xing'er, stay here to take care of the situation. Everything will be as usual."

After saying this simply, Ning Yi frowned, hugged Su Tan'er, and turned around and left.
