Although it is said that family scandals should not be made public, if she continues like this, she will die of depression sooner or later.
Su Niang has seen Chen Wen's changes during this period.
At the beginning, he could comfort himself by saying that men should be busy, but later on, Chen Wen not only ignored his family, but also changed his attitude towards Zhao and Chen Sirui.
Now, Su Niang can no longer deceive herself.
However, the Zhao family has always been weak and does not have many available people under her command.
Therefore, until now, they have not been able to find out what Chen Wen is busy with outside.
Therefore, facing Chen Wen's changes, Zhao and Su Niang were powerless.
Last night Chen Wen came over in the middle of the night to ask questions, but he didn't even say a word of comfort to Mrs. Zhao, as if everything was Mrs. Zhao's fault.
According to Chen Wen's current temperament, I'm afraid he won't be back for several days.
Su Niang looked at Mrs. Zhao, like a candle that was dying. If it hadn't been for Chen Sirui, it would have been extinguished long ago.
Su Niang couldn't bear to see Zhao in this state, so she boldly spoke to Fu Zhao.
Fu Zhao may not be able to find out, but Chen Feng will definitely be able to find out what Chen Wen is busy with outside.
Thinking of this, Su Niang did not restrain her tears and tried her best to look pitiful.
"There is nothing I can do about it. I can't just watch my master suffer a lot because of this. My master is so pitiful. Miss Rui is not in good health. She has broken my master's heart since she was a child. Now this thing in her belly is...
If I didn't keep it, if it weren't for Miss Rui, I'm afraid my master wouldn't be able to survive."
Listening to Su Niang's choked words, Fu Zhao sighed faintly and asked, "What do you want me to help you with?"
Su Niang wiped her tears and whispered a few words into Fu Zhao's ear.
Fu Zhao frowned and his voice became colder, "It's not that I don't want to help, it's that I can't help."
After all, the favor Su Niang asked her to help was to reach out to Chen Wen.
If word got out, what would others think of her?
Fu Zhao was afraid that Su Niang would still have thoughts about her, so he simply refused again, "I really can't help with this matter."
Su Niang was greatly disappointed, but she still forced a smile and said, "This slave is being abrupt, just pretend you haven't heard of it."
Fu Zhao walked out of the yard, and Su Niang felt blessed and went in to continue taking care of Mrs. Zhao.
On the way back, Fu Zhao asked Si Qi softly, "Is Fourth Brother acting strange lately?"
Si Qi used to work in the front yard, but now that he has arrived at the back house, there are still many eyes and ears in the front yard.
Si Qi then said: "There is indeed one thing. It is said that the fourth young master leaves early and returns late. I don't know what he is busy with outside, but it is not busy with the affairs of the Marquis Mansion."
Fu Zhao asked again: "Then no one suspects it?"
Si Qi smiled and said, "The Fourth Young Master is just an idler in the Hou Mansion, no one will care about him."
Si Qi's words were very realistic. No one would care about the whereabouts of an unknown fourth young master, only Zhao was concerned about it.
Fu Zhao thought even more profoundly.
If Chen Wen goes out early and comes back late, he is tied up by something bad, such as being suddenly obsessed with gambling.
When the Hou Mansion is prosperous, both prosper and suffer.
If something really happened to Chen Wen, no one in the Hou family would be able to clean it up.
Moreover, Fu Zhao also knew Chen Wen a little bit, and Chen Wen was the most important member of the Gu family.
When Chen Sirui was ill, Chen Wen would be by Chen Sirui's side twice out of three times.
Nowadays, Chen Wen's temperament has changed drastically. He goes out early and comes home late, and he doesn't even care about his precious daughter. It's really easy to think of him.

Su Niang turned around and went into the house, served Mrs. Zhao to drink the medicine, and talked about what she had said to Fu Zhao.
Su Niang said decadently: "The prince's wife refuses to help, and I don't know who to ask for help."
Mrs. Zhao drank the bitter medicine in silence, her tears falling into the medicine bowl and mixing with the dark medicine.
After drinking the medicine, Ms. Zhao said bitterly: "Go and ask your brothers to help you. Go to my cabinet and look for some silver. Think of it as a reward for them."
Su Niang hurriedly said: "How can this be done? You are so good at taking care of your slaves, and you can't accept money from your slaves."
Zhao said stubbornly: "You must listen to me this time."
Seeing this, Su Niang had no choice but to agree.
She took the silver and went to find her brother.
Her brother Shoji is now in the front yard, looking after the horses, and he can come and go freely on weekdays.
Zhuang Er accepted the money and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will handle the matter well. But the young master is really cautious, and he goes to crowded places, so almost every time he just misses the mark by a little bit."
Su Niang said: "As long as you try your best, given time, you will definitely find something."
Zhuang Er hummed and said, "By the way, what do you think of the house I showed you?"
Su Niang lowered her head and bit her lip tightly.
She had been married before, but it was only after she got married that she realized that he was a beast! He also liked to beat people after drinking.
At that time, she was five months pregnant when she was beaten by the beast into miscarriage.
After Su Niang reconciled, she served the Zhao family peacefully.
Now that she mentioned her marriage again, Su Niang shook her head quickly, "I have made up my mind to serve the young lady by my side for the rest of my life, and the young lady cannot do without me now."
Zhuang Er snorted, "If you don't get married, will your family support you when you get older? Get married while you're still pretty. If you can, I'll give you a few days to think about it.
Think carefully."
After saying that, Zhuang Er collected the money in his arms, turned around and left.
Su Niang sighed and went back decadently.
Zhuang Er turned around and saw Su Niang walking away, so he immediately started running.
He picked a strong horse and led it out. When he saw the young master standing outside the mansion, he immediately smiled ingratiatingly.
"I would like to say hello to the Fourth Young Master." Zhuang Er chuckled.
Chen Wen glanced at him and said, "Get up."
Zhuang Er led the horse over and Chen Wen got on the horse. Zhuang Er followed beside him and followed Chen Wen out.
The two walked through an unknown number of streets, and finally entered an alley and stopped at the door of an inconspicuous house.
Perhaps he had already heard the sound of horse hooves. As soon as Chen Wen got off his horse, the door of the house opened.
As soon as the door opened, a beautiful face was revealed that could make Chen Wen feel lovesick.
Chen Wen took two steps forward, held Cheng Yushu's hand, and said with a smile: "Why did you come out?"
Cheng Yushu smiled even brighter, "I'm fine anyway, so I'll just come out and wait for you."
The two held hands and walked into the house.
There are no rules like those in the Hou Mansion here, so Zhuang Er followed the two of them in.
After the two masters sat down, Zhuang Er took out the money from his arms and said truthfully: "This is the young lady's sister, the younger one, who gave it to me. She said that I asked her to do her best to find out.
