Chapter 118 Su Yan'er Doesn't Want to Marry Qin Lang Anymore
Su Yan'er's heart trembled even more violently as she looked at the person in front of her.
This was the man she had always longed to marry, but now her thoughts had changed.
Yesterday, she asked the imperial physicians who came to treat her, and they all said that the chances of her leg recovering were slim, and that she would probably have to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.
He was a military general who used his martial prowess to fight for fame and fortune, but now he couldn't get up. Wasn't he practically a cripple?
Although she didn't care that he wasn't the heir apparent before, she only wanted to be the young mistress of a marquis's mansion.
But deep down, who doesn't yearn for their husband to have a higher position, and for themselves to shine brighter among the ladies of Fengdu City?
When she actually faced all of this, she hesitated. She didn't want to marry a useless man and walk the streets of Fengdu City, being pointed at and gossiped about by everyone.
Su Yan'er clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, and her slightly furrowed brows revealed her inner tension.
"Second brother, your injuries haven't healed yet, so it's important for you to focus on recovering. There's no rush for our matters. Uncle and Aunt are worried about Yunzhou right now, so it's best not to add to their troubles. Let's discuss this further once you've recovered!"
Let's discuss!
She said "discuss," not "inform."
Qin Lang's expression darkened, as if he had sensed something.
But he wasn't sure what Su Yan'er was thinking. Yan'er was always so understanding; she must really be considering the current state of the Marquis's mansion.
In fact, Qin Lang thought the same thing. He was injured and didn't know if it was a good time to bring this up. Perhaps Yan'er was being considerate and suggested that they discuss it later.
Qin Lang did not object. "Alright, but don't worry, Yan'er, we've already consummated our marriage, so I will naturally take responsibility for you. Once I'm fully recovered, I will definitely give you a grand wedding!"
Su Yan'er forced a smile, a smile tinged with a sense of burden.
"I am very happy that you said that, Second Brother. However, I hope that you can recover your health soon so that you will not let me down!"
No matter what Qin Lang said, as long as the topic was brought up, Su Yan'er would always change the subject.
She couldn't gamble her future on Qin Lang until he stood up for himself.
The rain was so heavy that Su Yan'er returned to the west wing. Despite holding an oil-paper umbrella, her clothes were still soaked by the rain.
Cuizhu prepared clean clothes and helped Su Yan'er change.
"Miss, will the Second Young Master's injuries heal?" Cuizhu asked.
Since Su Yan'er entered the Marquis's mansion, Cuizhu has been by Su Yan'er's side and has come to know her.
Cuizhu knew what Su Yan'er was worried about.
Su Yan'er changed into clean clothes, her face full of worry. "The imperial physician said that the chances of my second brother recovering completely are slim, I'm afraid..."
Cuizhu's heart skipped a beat; the young lady was already with the second young master...
If the second young master is crippled, then wouldn't the young lady have to marry a good-for-nothing like the fourth young lady?
"Miss, if the second young master really can't stand up anymore, will you really marry him in the future?"
"Although the Fifth Prince is also a good-for-nothing, at least he is healthy and has the title of prince. Miss, you will probably never be able to hold your head up in front of the Fourth Miss!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yan'er's eyes flashed with hatred. Ever since she entered the manor, Qin Wan had looked down on her. With Qin Wan around, she was always the outsider.
She was about to marry Qin Lang and become the young mistress of the Marquis's mansion, but who would have thought that Qin Lang would become a good-for-nothing.
Su Yan'er felt resentful; this was too unfair to her.
Cuizhu is right. If she really marries Qin Lang, he will never be able to hold his head up in front of Qin Wan again.
No, she had to think of a way; she couldn't just waste her life like this.
"Miss, this servant will take this dress..."
"Green bamboo!"
Su Yan'er interrupted Cui Zhu coldly, "You didn't tell anyone that my second brother and I had consummated our marriage, did you?"
Cuizhu was startled by Su Yan'er's sudden question; naturally, she dared not reveal such a thing.
She shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, I didn't tell anyone, and no one in the manor spread the word!"
Su Yan'er recalled Qin Wan's reminder to Han Shu that day that even her uncle didn't know about this matter, so she probably didn't know either.
His words that day were definitely meant to provoke her.
Thinking of this, Su Yan'er felt relieved and said, "This matter must be kept to yourself and not mentioned to anyone. I will talk to Second Brother, but you'd better keep your mouth shut!"
"Yes, this servant understands!"
Cuizhu was frightened by Su Yan'er. She had been by Su Yan'er's side for many years and had never seen Su Yan'er look like that before.
Even after leaving the room, she was still covered in cold sweat.
......
An inn outside the city.
The heavy rain came suddenly, and many pilgrims heading to Leishan Temple were stopped by the downpour, so they all stayed at this inn for the time being.
The inn was small with limited rooms, and Qin Wan and her group arrived late.
Only one superior room remained, which was given to Old Madam Qin, while Qin Wan lived in a small room on the first floor.
She had lived in drafty woodsheds at Leishan Temple, so this room was hardly a bad place.
"Miss, this was sent by the old lady. She said that if you feel cold at night, you should put it on!"
Granny Sun handed the quilt to Wan Shuang. The old lady's room was the best room, and everything she needed was plentiful. After ensuring her own needs were met, she gave the rest to Qin Wan.
This is the third time Granny Sun has come.
Previously it was charcoal and candles; this time it's a quilt.
Qin Wan was both amused and exasperated; her grandmother was truly worried about her.
"Granny Sun, go back and tell Grandmother that if I need these things, I will just ask the shopkeeper for them directly. I don't need Grandmother's permission to give them to me!"
"Yes, the old lady is also worried about you, Miss, but this should be the last time. You should rest early!"
"Thank you for your trouble, Granny Sun!"
After seeing Granny Sun off, Nianqi closed the door to the room, then put the two tables together. Looking at her work, she was very satisfied.
"Miss, you sleep in the bed with Wan Shuang, and I'll sleep on the table!"
As she spoke, Nianqi lay down on the table. However, there was no cushion on the table, and she felt a little uneasy when she lay down.
Seeing her unrestrained manner, Qin Wan couldn't help but laugh, and then placed the quilt in Wan Shuang's hand in front of Nian Qi.
"This blanket is extra. Use it to sleep. It's raining and cold today, so don't get sick!"
Nianqi was deeply moved. His Highness was truly blessed. Miss was so considerate. It was a blessing from His Highness's past life that he could marry Miss.
Nianqi did not refuse, took the quilt and replied, "Yes! Your subordinate obeys!"
late at night.
There wasn't much noise outside, only the sound of rain hitting the ground.
Outside the window on the first floor of the inn, a bamboo tube pierced through the window, and a person outside blew a breath, causing thick black smoke to billow out.
Nianqi suddenly woke up with a start and shouted, "Who's there?"
The noise woke up Wan Shuang and Qin Wan, who were sleeping. The two sat on the bed, hugged each other, and looked at Nian Qi, who had already gotten up and was on high alert.
He asked, "Nianqi, what's wrong?"
"Cover your mouth and nose, there's sleeping gas!"
