When everyone left and Su Yao was the only one left in the room, Mrs. He let out a long sigh and patted the seat next to her: "Come here and sit with me."
Su Yao hurriedly sat next to her, and just like he did in Shandong, he leaned on Mrs. He, put his arms around Mrs. He's waist, and couldn't help but say sorry to Mrs. He.
Mrs. He chuckled. "What's there to be sorry about? Silly child, you made everything clear before you left. I know what kind of child you are. Since you said there was something fishy about this matter and that Mama Liu lied to me, then it must be true. It's just that I can't get over it. What does it have to do with you?"
She hugged Su Yao and stroked his hair: "Grandma is old, but not confused. Now that you are back, I believe you will explain this matter to grandma clearly. Grandma has always believed in my Xiaoyao."
Su Yao buried her head in Mrs. He's waist and didn't look up for a long time. After a long time, she raised her head and began to tell Mrs. He everything that happened when she went to Yunnan.
Starting with Lord Yuan and the others, then Seventh Master Bai, then Boss Ma and Wei Desheng, as well as Old Master Liu and the others, Su Yao lowered his eyes and said softly, "Grandmother, they are from the Chi family and the previous dynasty. Xu Ci Fu in the capital is even just their puppet. After thinking about it, I think Qi Yunxi's words may not be reliable."
She hugged Mrs. He and said frankly, "A person who can take advantage of everything, a person who can't tell right from wrong, you can't trust a single word she says. It has now been proven that Madam Liu is just a tool to pass messages. Grandmother, please wait for me. I will definitely find out who is trying to incite you to hate the emperor, and even wants you to do something stupid."
Mrs. He said softly, "Okay! Grandma is waiting for you." As she spoke, she looked at Su Yao and asked her, "Yaoyao, there is one more thing Grandma wants to ask you. Have you thought about your own affairs?"
There was no one else in the room, so there was nothing to be ashamed of. Mrs. He spoke frankly, "There are some things that Grandmother originally did not intend to say, but after thinking about it, she felt that she had to say them. You are now a 15-year-old girl, and because you went to Yunnan, you even delayed your 15-year-old ceremony. Yaoyao, at your age, many people have already married, but you haven't even decided on a marriage yet."
Mrs. He sighed softly: "I know what you are thinking. You traveled all the way to Yunnan. If you say that you have no feelings for Xiao Heng, I don't believe it. But let me ask you, Yaoyao, if you feel this way, what about him?"
Su Yao had nothing to hide from Mrs. He. She was brought up by Mrs. He, and it was normal to ask Mrs. He about important matters in life, so she admitted sincerely: "Grandma, I'm not lying to you. I really like him. I can't tell you exactly when it started. But I know that if I still have a little expectation for getting married, it's all because of him. Because I think that the person I'm getting married to is him, I have the idea that getting married is not that scary. He likes me now, and I don't know what will happen in the future, but there are too many unknown things in life, so I thought and thought, it's better to grab what I have now."
Even if this relationship really deteriorates one day, she is willing to admit defeat.
Mrs. He couldn't help but smile when she heard this. She said softly but firmly, "You did the right thing. You are good in everything except your cautious nature. To put it nicely, you are calm, but to put it bluntly, you are too cautious. Yaoyao, grandma has long wanted to tell you that no matter how carefully you think about things in this world, there will always be surprises. In this case, then live your life as you like. Don't make yourself so tired. Being happy is the most important thing. You like him now, and since he likes you too, don't be afraid. We'll talk about the future later."
After saying this, Mrs. He felt relieved. After finishing dinner, she said to Su Yao, "Pick a time and come and stay for a while. I haven't seen you for a long time. Grandma misses you very much."
Su Yao nodded hurriedly.
After talking to Mrs. He for a while, Su Yao went to Aunt He's room.
Aunt He was already prepared. She was not surprised to see her coming. She stood up with a smile, sent the maids away, and asked Su to sit down.
After Mother He served the tea and left, she said tiredly, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. I knew you would come today."
Su Yao was even more direct when she was talking to Aunt He. After all, she had seen the most secret things before, and there was nothing she couldn't tell. She asked directly, "Aunt, is there anyone who really wants to see Grandmother during this period?"
Before she left, she asked Aunt He to watch out for those who came under various pretexts, or even those who came despite knowing that Mrs. He was ill.
If there really are people who have not given up, then logically they should have taken action during this period of time - after all, the news that Xiao Heng had won the battle had already spread, so how could those people just sit there and do nothing
Aunt He took out a small box from the table behind her and handed it to Su Yao: "This is where everyone who came to our house during the period after you left and recently came. I have also marked those who came more than three times. Take a look and see if there is anyone suspicious. And Aunt Liu..."
She frowned. "As for her matter, my mother's reaction is not as strong as before. I guess she no longer believes those nonsense. But there is one more thing. My second brother seems to be a little abnormal recently."
Mr. He
Su Yao immediately thought of what happened today when Mr. He was scolded by Mrs. He. She herself also found it very strange. After all, Mr. He used to be a good son who was eager to listen to Mrs. He in everything, and he was also considered a loyal and honest man. What did he do to make Mrs. He so angry
Aunt He talked about this matter with a bad look on her face, "I don't know what's going on. My second brother has been going out early and coming back late recently. We originally thought he was on business, but after interrogating his servant, we found out that he was out drinking and having fun! You know mother's character. She hates the men in the family getting involved in these things. She was very angry after knowing this. She asked who my second brother went with, but he refused to say. He just stammered and said that he went with some colleagues. He is like this... I'm always afraid that he has gone astray. I know there is someone around you who can be used. Can you help check this matter?"
It seems that we can't get anything out of Mr. He now.
