Transmigrated As A Delicate Bundle Of Luck For A Farming Family

782 What Happened Last Night

Madam Chu really doted on Li Kuo to the core. Li Kuo was her youngest child. As his body was not good when he was young, he grew up drinking her breast milk. This was a treatment that even her eldest son, Li Hai, did not receive.

Li Hai was smart and sensible. As he was the eldest son, he took over the family business.

However, Li Kuo was different. He had an innocent and unrestrained childhood. Everyone was willing to protect him. He was so confident and spoiled, but now, he was like an eggplant that had been frosted. Just looking at him made one’s heart ache.

Madam Chu regretted letting Su Xiaolu leave. She was worried that Li Kuo would be unable to recover from the blow of his heartache.

Li Kuo turned over and said gloomily, “Mother, please don’t ask. I don’t want to say it. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it myself.”

Li Kuo didn’t want to say it. He couldn’t.

Seeing him like this, Madam Chu did not tell Li Kuo that Su Xiaolu had left.

Tonight, Bu Mo did not know that Li Kuo had secretly gone out, so he did not know what had happened. If Li Kuo was unwilling to say and Su Xiaolu left, no one would know.

Madam Chu sighed and exchanged glances with Father Su. The couple asked their servants to leave, and so did they.

After leaving Li Kuo’s courtyard, Madam Chu said helplessly, “Master, we still have to find Miss Zhao. If we don’t ask her what happened tonight, I won’t be at ease.”

Perhaps if she went rashly, it would make Miss Zhao uncomfortable. She had no choice but to go. Li Kuo was her son. She could not bear to see him so worried.

Master Su thought about it and agreed. He nodded and said, “We should ask. Kuo’er has never experienced such a blow. It’s easy for him to develop mental problems.”

Humans were not afraid of being dealt a blow or setbacks. They were just afraid that mental problems would form a knot in their hearts and they would make things difficult for themselves. In fact, it was not a big deal to let go, but if they could not, it would be fatal.

Master Su was also worried that his son would be unhappy because of this, so he supported Madam Chu’s opinion.

Madam Chu immediately went down to make arrangements.

Not long after Su Xiaolu left, the Su family was flourishing in Changzhou and easily found out about it.

Therefore, Madam Chu personally went out at dawn.

Su Xiaolu took a nap at the inn. There was no need to rush the snake’s corpse in the Space. She would slowly use it to refine medicine after she dealt with the Interface Stones.

Su Xiaolu was woken up by a knock on the door.

Su Xiaolu’s voice was lazy. “Who is it?”

The waiter replied politely, “Miss, a lady is looking for you.”

A lady?

Su Xiaolu did not remember who it was for a moment. She got up, washed up, opened the door, and went out. When she saw Madam Chu, she narrowed her eyes. She recalled that she had a good time when she left last night. Both sides were okay with it.

Why was Madam Chu looking for her again?

Su Xiaolu couldn’t help but wonder if something had happened to Li Kuo.

This had nothing to do with her. He had been fine when she handed him over to the Li residence yesterday. Even if she wanted to settle the score, she had her defense.

Su Xiaolu walked calmly to Madam Chu and said politely, “Good morning, Madam. Why are you looking for me so early in the morning?”

Madam Chu saw that Su Xiaolu was not flustered. She felt an indescribable emotion in her heart. Her son was dejected because of her, but she did not feel anything at all.

Madam Chu took a deep breath and looked at Su Xiaolu. “Miss Zhao, sorry to disturb you. I’m here to ask what happened last night. Please tell me.”

Su Xiaolu looked at Madam Chu. “Is Young Master Li’s body alright? I know some medical skills. He was fine when he fell into the water yesterday. At most, he suffered a little cold. You have a doctor from the residence, so he should be able to tell this. He should be fine after taking some anti-cold medicine in time.”

“Miss Zhao, you’ve misunderstood. Kuo’er’s body is fine, but as his mother, I’m worried about him, so I want to ask what happened last night. Why did you go out at midnight?”

Madam Chu felt that Su Xiaolu was too calm. This calmness fully explained how shallow Li Kuo’s position in her heart was. Madam Chu’s heart skipped a beat. She looked at Su Xiaolu and asked.

Su Xiaolu’s expression was still calm. She smiled faintly and said, “Madam Li, I think there’s no need for me to explain to you why I went out in the middle of the night. You’re not close to me. I met Young Master Li by chance and we hit it off well, so I agreed to his invitation to stay in the residence for a while. I have things to do. As long as what I do doesn’t hurt anyone in your residence, I think I can do anything.”

Madam Chu was speechless. She really wanted to ask why she wasn’t hurt, but she couldn’t say it because from what she had seen so far, it was all her son, Li Kuo’s, wishful thinking. He was the one who was self-inflicted and hurt himself. Miss Zhao really didn’t have any intention of doing that at all.

Madam Chu was much weaker.

Su Xiaolu said again, “Madam Li, if I had known that Young Master Li had followed me out, I wouldn’t have let him follow me. I’m more interested in the strange stones, so I went to that strange lake. I went there during the day too. During the day, I cared about the feelings of Young Master Li and his servant, so I didn’t look for it properly. That’s why I went alone at night. Young Master Li followed me there. I didn’t know when he arrived. There was a huge snake in the water. When I was fighting the snake, I heard Young Master Li’s cry for help and realized that Young Master Li’s boat had been overturned. I saved him.”

“Then, he woke up halfway and saw that the snake was very big. He was so frightened that he fainted. Then, I dealt with the snake and brought him back to the Li Residence. This is what happened. Is there any problem? If there isn’t, I hope we won’t meet again. Don’t worry, I won’t look for Young Master Li, but if he looks for me, it’s none of my business.”

Su Xiaolu felt that Madam Chu was inexplicably hostile and angry with her. She did not have the time to wonder why she was like this.

Li Kuo was a good person. If Madam Chu wanted to know what happened last night, she didn’t mind telling her. However, she also hoped that Madam Chu would understand that it wasn’t okay to vent her anger on her. She wasn’t someone who could be controlled.

Madam Chu understood Su Xiaolu’s coldness and alienation.

She looked at Su Xiaolu helplessly and wanted to explain, but in the end, she decided not to.

She stood up and smiled. Then, she said to Su Xiaolu, “Miss Zhao, I don’t have any ill intentions towards you. You’re still young. You can’t understand my heart yet. You’ll definitely understand when you become a mother in the future. Sorry to disturb you. Goodbye.”

Madam Chu knew that Su Xiaolu had a problem with her, but she had not done anything wrong. She was just a mother who cared about her child. Any mother would do the same as her.

Su Xiaolu looked at Madam Chu and said, “Madam Li, even if I grow up, I wouldn’t understand you. Since Young Master Li is fine, why did you come to look for me? But looking at your unimportant words, I think you understand that you have no reason to make things difficult for me. This means that the problem isn’t with me. If I were you, I wouldn’t have come at all because you didn’t solve the problem you want to solve and instead made things difficult for yourself.”
