722 No Regrets
Time had also proven that Su Hua was indeed extraordinary.
His character was amazing, and the title of top scorer was even more impressive. After entering the court and becoming an official, he could deal with the mixed nature of the bureaucracy and maintain his true self.
He doted on his wife even more. Madam Lian looked at Sun Baoqian gently. After her daughter got married, she was still confident and beautiful. Time had only grown her wisdom and did not make her have any resentment in her eyes. These were all closely related to Su Hua.
“What did Teacher Lin ask back then?”
Sun Baoqian was very curious. Su Hua had never mentioned these things. Of course, she had never asked.
Now that she heard it from Madam Lian, Sun Baoqian wanted to know everything about Su Hua.
Madam Lian looked at the love in Sun Baoqian’s eyes and smiled gently.
“Back then, Teacher Lin asked them what they thought of their father, Su Sanlang,’s betrayal of the clan. If they felt that it was right, what was right? If they felt that it was wrong, what was wrong? This was a very sharp topic.
At that time, your father couldn’t help but be anxious when he heard this. He was afraid that Su Chong and Su Hua would get angry and do something out of control.
The siblings were saved by Su Xiaolu and her Master. Your father was about to speak up to help when Teacher Lin stopped him solemnly. He said that this was his rule for taking in students and asked your father not to interfere.
At that time, your father saw Su Sanlang clench his fists. Clearly, this matter was also a heart-wrenching topic for Su Sanlang.”
Madam Lian spoke slowly. Sun Baoqian couldn’t wait to interrupt. “Mother, what happened then? How did they answer Teacher Lin?”
Madam Lian smiled and continued, “Su Hua answered first. He said that he thought his father had done the right thing and would be grateful to Su Sanlang for doing that for the rest of his life. The reason was very simple. Ever since Su Sanlang left the clan with his family, the family had eaten their fill and dressed warmly. In the past, he was not smart and could not remember much, but in those memories, he only remembered starving and freezing, was disliked by his grandparents, and was bullied by his brothers in the clan. However, after leaving the clan, he and Su Chong were cured of their illness and learned to read. Perhaps Su Sanlang would never be tolerated by the world. However, in Su Hua’s heart, he was the best father. He would always do the right thing. He would always be proud to be Su Sanlang’s son. After saying that, he even said to Su Sanlang, ‘Father, thank you.’”
Madam Lian paused for a moment before continuing, “At that time, Su Chong said that he had the same answer as his brother and felt that Su Sanlang had done the right thing. He didn’t care what others said about Su Sanlang. Even if the entire world said that Su Sanlang had done something wrong, he still felt that Su Sanlang was right. As his son, it was enough that he enjoyed Su Sanlang’s kindness. As long as Su Sanlang protected them, even if the world said that Su Sanlang was bad, they would still think that he was good. On the other hand, if Su Sanlang didn’t care about them, even if everyone in the world praised Su Sanlang, they would still think that he was bad.”
Madam Lian’s eyes were filled with admiration. When she found out about this, she was also shocked. At that time, she felt that Su Sanlang would have a good life in the future with such sons.
These words moved Teacher Lin to allow Su Chong and Su Hua to enter the school.
Sun Baoqian’s eyes were filled with admiration.
Madam Lian smiled and said, “It’s not over yet. Later on, Teacher Lin asked Su Chong another sharp question.”
“What did Teacher Lin ask again?”
Sun Baoqian was also very curious and looked at Madam Lian expectantly.
Madam Lian smiled and said, “Teacher Lin asked Su Chong about the order of seniority. Su Hua answered him first. Didn’t he think that Su Hua didn’t respect him as a brother? And Su Hua didn’t hesitate and directly told Teacher Lin that he didn’t think so. His brother respected him very much. They were brothers in arms. Even if they would argue over different opinions when they grew up, they would definitely not pay attention to such an insignificant matter. Moreover, his brother was much smarter than him. Su Hua’s answer was better than his. He would only feel very proud because Su Hua was his brother.”
Madam Lian did not expect Su Hua to not tell her about the past after they had been married for so long.
Madam Lian was amazed. Su Hua’s mind was far more precious than they thought.
It was said that people often reminisced about hardships and thought about sweetness. The pain of the past was difficult to forget. They always had to talk about it to ease the pain in their hearts.
Putting aside the pain of the past and only looking forward, such wise actions were easy to say but difficult to do.
Su Hua never talked about it, but he did it.
Madam Lian looked at Sun Baoqian gently and sighed. “I’m happy for you. You’ve met a good person and formed a good marriage.”
Su Hua had given her so much love and care. Which woman wouldn’t be envious?
Sun Baoqian smiled in embarrassment. Thinking of Su Hua, her heart felt as sweet as honey. She hugged Madam Lian’s arm and said with a smile, “Mother, if I’m lucky, I’ll give some to my brother so that he can meet a good person and have a good marriage too.”
Madam Lian held Sun Baoqian’s hand and looked at her daughter’s jade-like fingers. She felt as if honey was flowing into her heart. She chuckled and said, “Father and Mother are so lucky to have you and your brother. The two of you have always cared about Father and Mother since you were young. You and Shan are both the best children. You’re lucky to be able to marry Su Hua, but isn’t Su Hua also lucky to have married a good girl like you?”
“Forget it, forget it. Mother doesn’t have to worry anymore. Your brother is also the best child. If the heavens really don’t let them live together, it must be the will of the heavens. Whether it’s good or bad, it’s predestined. No matter what the outcome is, we’ll accept it calmly. Life is all about having no regrets.”
Madam Lian immediately relaxed.
Sun Baoqian nodded.
‘That’s right, that’s it.’
Madam Lian thought that it was getting late. She patted Sun Baoqian’s hand and said, “It’s getting late. Mother will go back and rest. Hua will be back soon.”
Sun Baoqian nodded.
Madam Lian got up and returned to the main courtyard. When she returned, she realized that Sun Ziqian was already resting. Madam Lian was surprised. “Are you done talking to your son-in-law so quickly?”
Sun Ziqian said calmly, “I only asked him a few questions. It didn’t take long.”
Madam Lian thought that Su Hua should have returned long ago after chatting with her daughter for so long, but he did not disturb her and gave the mother and daughter time to chat.
This son-in-law was really rare in the world. He was so sensible and meticulous.
“Aren’t you going to ask what I said to my son-in-law?”
Seeing that Madam Lian had not asked, Sun Ziqian could not hold it in anymore and took the initiative to mention it.
Madam Lian laughed. “I don’t need to know. I can guess. No matter what you said, he made you feel at ease.”
Sun Ziqian laughed. “Madam knows me the best. Don’t worry, don’t worry. Let’s sleep.”
