Chapter 471: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China ()

Su Xiangran was extremely anxious because her own brother Su Yanqing had suffered a head injury. How could she just sit back and watch?

So, after she was able to walk normally without pain, Su Xiangran couldn't wait to go to her brother's room to visit him.

When Su Yanqing saw his sister walk into the room, he immediately tried to struggle to get up.

Cao Wanning, who had been guarding him and taking good care of him, naturally understood what he was thinking. He quickly held his son down and comforted him softly, "Don't worry, the cloth strips on Xiaoran's feet have been taken off. From now on, no one will bind her feet anymore."

Su Yanqing looked at Su Xiangran half-doubtfully, his eyes full of expectation, as if hoping to get a positive answer from his sister.

Su Xiangran felt her brother's gaze, smiled and nodded, and said, "Yes, brother! Aunt Hong has helped me put my feet in place, and my feet don't hurt anymore when I walk."

Hearing this, Su Yanqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

He frowned, recalling how he got injured, and muttered to himself, "Strange, there is usually nothing on the second floor of that school building, I don't know why a flower pot fell that day?

Speaking of which, I have to thank Song Chengjing for giving me a push in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous..."

Su Xiangran echoed, "We really have to thank Master Song. Let's go to his house together to express our gratitude some other day."

At this time, the door was gently pushed open, and a little maid came in with medicine.

"Miss, it's time to change the dressing for the young master." The little maid walked to the bedside, ready to untie the bandage on Su Yanqing's head and change the dressing for him.

Su Xiangran quickly stepped aside and let the maid apply medicine to her brother. She only took a small step back, so she could still see Su Yanqing's wound clearly.

The maid carefully removed the bandage and saw a hideous wound on Su Yanqing's forehead.

The cut doesn't look big, but the wound is quite deep. Although time has passed, it will still bleed after it is untied.

At this moment, the doctor was standing by, and he explained the situation to Cao Wanning in a serious manner: "Generally speaking, such wounds need to be sutured.

However, since the wound is on the face, if the needle and thread are used carelessly, it may leave a noticeable scar.”

In fact, there is no longer an imperial examination nowadays, so there are no overly strict regulations on the appearance of students.

But Su Yanqing is the young master of the Su family after all. If he is really disfigured, there may be many troubles in the future.

Thinking of this, Su Xiangran couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Because she had already realized that this wound was most likely caused intentionally by someone in order to make Cao Wanning believe a certain statement.

"Xiao Ran, what's wrong with you? Are you scared by the blood?" Su Yanqing gently stroked Su Xiangran's hair and said in a soft voice, "Don't be afraid, it just looks scary. You will gradually recover in the future."

Cao Wanning was originally quite worried about the possibility of her son's disfigurement, but when she saw that her son was so strong and even remembered to comfort his sister, she felt a little relieved.

At the same time, I was also moved by the deep friendship between this brother and sister.

"They are both good children to their mother." Cao Wanning said as he looked at the brother and sister.

In fact, the Su family does not have many children. Although Su Weicheng also has a maid, there are only two children in the Su family, brother and sister.

In the early years, when he was young, he had thought about taking a concubine, at least to have more offspring. However, although Cao Wanning openly did not object, the few families he favored did not dare to "send" their daughters to the Su family.

After doing it many times, Su Weichen finally understood the reason.

Jincheng is within the sphere of influence of the Cao family. If he lets his daughter "compete for favor" with the daughters of the Cao family, he will sacrifice the entire family!

As the money bag of the Cao family, naturally no one can touch the Su family.

Not only can they not enjoy the benefits of the marriage with the Su family, but they also have to be careful all the time not to offend the Cao family. No one wants to do such a thankless job.

Su Weicheng understood this matter later, so he gave up the idea of ​​taking a concubine. After all, he and Cao Wanning already had a son and a daughter.

With the financial resources of the Su family, it would be completely possible to hire a teacher to teach Su Yanqing at home, but his elder brother-in-law Cao Ce "recommended" Su Yanqing to study in a church school run by foreigners, saying that only there could he learn things that would be useful in the future.

At first, Su Weichen also had objections to this arrangement, but after meeting his son’s classmates several times, he was not so opposed.

This is not a school at all, it is simply a basic network of personal resources.

However, Cao Ce's son Cao Shixun also studied here.

There is also the Song family in the political arena, and their youngest son Song Chengjing is also studying in the school.

Later, Su Weicheng made some inquiries and found out that the priest who ran this school was no ordinary foreigner. He was very capable! He was also said to have a good relationship with the military.

Moreover, this foreigner not only has this one school, he also runs a hospital in Haicheng, which is the Cao family’s base.
