Sorry, My Wife Has a Hole in Her Brain Chapter 13
Su Zhining still felt unsatisfied after coming back from watching the migratory birds. While eating snacks in Su Wenqing's room, she "showed off" everything that happened between her and Second Young Master Wang from childhood to adulthood.
The second son of the Wang family was named Wang Xiuyan.
Because of the Wang family's grandmother was still related to the Su family, Su
Zhining and Wang Xiuyan had known each other since childhood. According to Su
Zhining's description, the second son of the Wang family had a handsome face
and looked like Pan An. He was the ideal husband for many famous ladies in
Anjing City.
Su Zhining threatened: "You can't fall in love with
Brother Xiuyan just because I told you this. If you want to compete with me for
Brother Xiuyan, I will turn against you!"
Su Wenqing was not interested in this Xiuyan. She just
wanted this 'young lady' to go back to her room and sleep. "Don't worry, Second
Sister. The person I love is Xie Shian. I will be Young Master Xie's person in
life and Young Master Xie's ghost in death. I will not marry anyone else in
this life."
Su Zhining felt relieved. She pouted and complained,
"Actually, everyone is good, except for Brother Xiuyan's younger sister.
She has her eyes so high that she looks down on the Su family and thinks her
brother is only fit to marry a princess. Every time I talk to Brother Xiuyan,
she always sneers at me. It really makes me angry to death."
Su Wenqing propped up his head and said perfunctorily,
"You should be angry."
Su Zhining said excitedly: "What I can't stand the most
is that she keeps talking about di and shu children all day long. Every time I
see her face, I want to slap her!"
Su Wenqing said: "She should be beaten indeed."
"Are you listening to me? What's under your pillow?
I've seen you looking there more than a dozen times." Su Zhining put down
the snacks angrily, stood up and was about to lift Su Wenqing's pillow.
Su Wenqing's heart almost jumped out of her throat when she
saw this. She hurriedly pulled Su Zhining.
"Nothing, I'm just a little tired after sitting in the
car all day," Su Wenqing smiled calmly and advised, "Tomorrow is the
Spring Banquet, and Brother Wang will definitely be there. If you don't sleep
now, Second Sister will have to see Brother Wang with dark circles under your
eyes."
Su Wenqing's words obviously hit Su Zhining's sore spot. She
didn't lift her pillow or chatter anymore, and just said "Go to bed
early" and ran back to her room.
Su Wenqing stuffed the book under the pillow under the
mattress with lingering fear. The nightlife of ancient people was boring. They
either wrote, painted, played chess or embroidered. Su Wenqing had no interest
in these four things. When she first transmigrated, she could only wash up
early and go to listen to the lectures of the old man Zhou Gong.
*Listening to the lectures of
Zhou Gong: Entering the dreamland
Until one day, while she was strolling in the market to
research an escape plan, she discovered a "magic treasure shop".
At first glance, the store looks like a proper bookshop, but
inside there was a collection of all the banned story scripts on the market.
The writing style and content were truly exciting, colorful, and extraordinary!
Before coming to Beishan, Su Wenqing borrowed a new work by
Mr. Partridge, which tells the story of the romantic affairs between the regent
of the previous dynasty and the young empress dowager.
Yesterday, Su Wenqing saw the sinister and violent Regent
trying to press the little Empress Dowager onto the bed, but Cuidie interrupted
her in the name of resting. Su Wenqing was both impatient and itchy after being
stuck on this "exciting" plot for a whole day.
Su Wenqing quickly washed and removed her makeup, then sent
Cuidie away. She then took out the script from under her pillow and began to
read it with great interest. She read until around three o'clock in the
morning.
———
Early the next morning, Su Wenqing felt like she was woken
up right after she fell asleep. She dazedly glanced out the window at the
pitch-black night and looked at Cuidie in front of the bed in confusion.
Cuidie struggled to pull Su Wenqing out of the bed, and
urged: "Miss, you'd better hurry up, the Eldest Miss and Second Miss are
almost ready."
Su Wenqing's body was forced to wake up, but her spirit was
still sleeping. She looked at Cuidie blankly and nodded, then fell down again,
wrapping herself in a quilt. The whole action was done in one go, as smooth as
flowing water.
Cuidie was so angry that her chest hurt. She pulled Su
Wenqing's quilt aside again and advised earnestly, "Miss, don't sleep.
It's really late. What is this? "The Regent and the Empress Dowager in the
Beautiful and Erotic Poems of the Southern Country"? "
Su Wenqing instantly regained consciousness after hearing
this. She snatched the book from Cuidie's hand and stuffed it under her pillow.
She stretched lazily as if nothing had happened and said, "Didn't they say
that the Spring Banquet is for viewing flowers and drinking wine? It's not even
bright yet outside. It's still pitch black. How can we view flowers?"
Cuidie didn't think much about it. She handed the face towel
to Su Wenqing and explained, "There's nothing we can do about it. We need
to take a carriage and then a boat. We won't arrive until noon, just in time
for lunch."
Su Wenqing's stomach growled at the thought of such a long
journey. Su Wenqing touched her stomach and said quietly, "Please prepare
some snacks for me. I'm afraid I'll be the first 'noble lady' to starve to
death."
After Su Wenqing swallowed two pieces of cake, she was urged
out by Zhao Yiniang before she could even drink some water. Su Wenqing got into
the carriage with tired steps and a look of despair.
Su Zhining came over and pointed at the dark circles under
Su Wenqing's eyes and asked in shock, "I left your room before midnight
last night. What were you doing for more than four hours?"
Su Jinsheng looked over thoughtfully when she heard this.
Su Wenqing was frightened when she saw Su Jinsheng's eyes.
Who knew what she was thinking about? Su Wenqing hurriedly explained, "I'm
a little picky about my bed. I couldn't fall asleep last night."
Su Zhining didn't notice the atmosphere between the other two
people in the car. She put the matter behind her after asking. She pulled Su
Wenqing and shook the hairpin on her head, "Come on, come on, take a look
at my makeup today."
Su Wenqing looked at the expectation in Su Zhining's eyes
and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She had to admit that the Su family's
genes were indeed powerful. The three daughters of the Su family were all
good-looking. Su Jinsheng was bright and gorgeous, Su Wenqing was delicate and
pitiful, and Su Zhining was lively and cute.
It was obvious that Su Zhining's outfit was carefully
selected. Whether the lotus pink chest-length skirt or the lifelike butterfly
hairpin in her hair, they could highlight her lively temperament.
Su Wenqing helped her adjust her butterfly hairpin and said
with a sincere smile, "Don't worry, your Brother Wang family will
definitely notice you at first sight."
The carriage bumped along for more than an hour before
finally reaching the destination. The rising sun dispelled the white mist on
the river. Endless green mountains stretched out on both sides of the river.
Various bamboo rafts and boats floated on the green water. On the grass on the
shore, the young men and young ladies who had arrived first were chatting and
laughing in groups of three or five.
As soon as Su Wenqing got off the carriage, he saw Su
Zhining running to greet Wang Xiuyan with waving hands and jumping feet. Wang
Xiuyan had a friendly temperament and looked a bit like the brother next door.
Although he was good-looking, but the description of as handsome as Panan was
definitely created by Su Zhining's with her tinted glasses of love.
It was unclear what Wang Xiuyan said, but Su Zhining covered
her face and blushed.
Su Zhining was innocent and lively, and Su Wenqing couldn't
help but smile like an aunt when she saw her like this.
After smiling, she felt a little lost. Su Jinsheng was
accompanied by her close friend Princess Anping, and Su Zhining was accompanied
by her childhood sweetheart, Young Master Wang. She seemed particularly lonely,
standing alone by the carriage.
*Anping Junzhu 安平县主: Princess Anping. Junzhu means princess
of the second rank, a title usually given to an Emperor’s niece.
However, this feeling of loneliness was driven away by Su
Wenqing before it could stay in her heart for ten seconds. Su Wenqing called
Cuidie and asked in a low voice: "Have you seen Third Young Master Wen?"
" Third Young Master Wen?" Cui Die asked in
surprise, "Miss, what do you want to do with him? Third Young Master Wen is
not a good person."
Su Wenqing pulled Cuidie and lowered her voice, "Keep
your voice down! Help me find where he is and tell me who he is."
Cuidie nodded in confusion, looked around and whispered to
Su Wenqing, "It's the young man wearing a pink robe under the willow tree
in the east."
Su Wenqing pretended to be calm and looked towards the east.
She knew who the third son of the Wen family was at a glance. It was not
because of the wide pink robe, but because his vulgar temperament due to
frequenting brothels all year round was too prominent, especially the dark bags
under his eyes that were three or four times bigger than his eyes. It gave Su
Wenqing the illusion that he would die of a stroke at any time.
He was followed by two attendants, one looked honest and
kind, and the other looked smart and agile.
The clever and agile attendant was very sensitive to Su
Wenqing's gaze, and as soon as Su Wenqing looked over, he immediately met her
gaze.
Su Wenqing was slightly stunned. She saw that the attendant
nodded to her very slightly.
Su Wenqing said to Cuidie thoughtfully, "Do you see the
attendant on the left of Third Young Master Wen? Find a chance to call him out
alone later, tell him who you are, and then say that I have something to
discuss with you. If he doesn't ask anything but only the time and place, ask
him to come to the east garden at midnight tonight."
Cui Die said puzzledly: "What if he asks why?"
Su Wenqing pondered for a while and said, "If he looks
confused and puzzled, and asks what's going on, you can find an excuse to evade
him and not invite him over. Then ask the attendant on the right of Third Young
Master Wen the same question."
Cuidie nodded as if she understood and asked, "Miss,
what are you planning to do?"
Su Wenqing raised her eyebrows and smiled, "You'll know
in the evening."
After Su Wenqing turned and left, the clever and agile
long-servant cunningly leaned to Third Young Master Wen’s ear and said, "Young
Master, the third lady of the Su family seems to be interested in you. She has
been looking at you just now."
The cloudy eyes of the Third Young Master Wen brightened up,
"The Third Miss of the Su Family? She is a real beauty. What is the status
of the Su family? Would she be interested in me? Are you sure?"
The clever and agile attendant said, "I am absolutely
not mistaken. She first secretly glanced at you several times. After I found
out, she pretended to be calm and talked to the maid beside her. Before
leaving, she looked at you a few more times reluctantly."
Third Young Master Wen was delighted to hear this. After
thinking for a while, he said, "The Spring Banquet is a good time for a
tryst. If what you said is true, she will definitely send a maid to test the
water. If you have nothing to do during these few days, go hang around her maid
more often."
"If the task is accomplished..." Third Young
Master Wen stroked his chin and smiled greasyly, "There will be a huge
reward."
"Yes, sir, don't worry, I'll take care of it!"
