Mrs. Wang Wu looked pretty good. She even showed some familiarity when she saw Su Yao: "I went home a few days ago and heard from my father that Ah Heng was able to escape danger in Yunnan thanks to your help several times. I had been wanting to find a chance to thank you, but things kept happening at home... I didn't have time to take care of it."
When she was young and energetic, Mrs. Wang Wu was very arrogant and domineering. She hated Xiao Heng to the core and thought that Xiao Heng had taken her father away.
Later, when she learned of Xiao Heng's true life experience, she felt scared and guilty.
After several years of trials and tribulations and getting along, she and Xiao Heng are certainly not as close as each other, but they can get along peacefully and try their best to be considerate of each other. Now, when she mentions Xiao Heng, her tone is natural.
Su Yao thought about the disgusted tone and look on Mrs. Wang Wu's face when she mentioned Xiao Heng when they first met, and suddenly felt a little dazed.
Time can really change a lot of things.
She shook her head slightly, talked to Mrs. Wang Wu for a while, and then asked to meet Wang Yuerong.
Speaking of Wang Yuerong, Mrs. Wang Wu's face became a little worried, and finally she just said: "You have always had a good relationship with her, so try to persuade her. Why do you have to make things so difficult for yourself?"
When Su Yao saw Wang Yuerong, he suddenly understood why Mrs. Wang Wu sighed.
However, in just a short period of time, Wang Yuerong had become so thin that she was unrecognizable and her face was as pale as paper. When she saw Su Yao, she blinked her eyes and wanted to smile, but tears still fell.
Su Yaoji walked over a few steps, sat on the edge of the bed, held her hand, and asked softly, "Why do you do this?"
Wang Yuerong lay on Su Yao and cried, "I'm scared, Yaoyao, I'm really scared! I don't know what to do. I feel that I have let your brother down, my grandmother down, and you down. My father has done so many abominable things, and even what happened back then was because he was a traitor and reported the incident... Yaoyao, I can't stay with your brother with peace of mind anymore. I naturally know that he won't vent his anger on me, and I believe that he will still treat me the same as before, but... How can I get through this?"
If you truly love someone, you naturally have to consider the other person.
How could she bear to make Su Rong embarrassed and suffer
Su Yao patted her back gently, thought for a moment, and asked softly, "Sister-in-law, did you know that my brother almost died when he was in Yunnan?"
Wang Yuerong sobbed for a while and nodded intermittently.
"At that time, I thought he was going to die. When Qingkun ran to Dali Prefecture to find me, I was thinking all the way, if something really happened to my brother, what should I do, how can I come back to explain to you. Later, I really went to Dali Prefecture and saw my brother who was so seriously injured. I didn't know how he could hold on..." Su Yao saw Wang Yuerong listening in a daze, so he lowered his eyes: "At that time, when my brother was unconscious, he was still calling your name. I think it was because of the thought of going back to see you that he was able to hold on and wait until the people from Heihua Village detoxified him."
Wang Yuerong didn't know all this. She only knew that the scar on Su Rong's face was quite deep. Although he had been taking medicine from Dr. Shen, the scar had never faded.
Now hearing Su Yao say this, her heart was filled with emotion.
There is joy, heartache, struggle, and also pain.
Is it really necessary to let go of such a good person, someone who loves her so much
Seeing that she stopped talking, Su Yao paused for a while before speaking again: "From my point of view, this matter is not a big deal. You are you, and your father is your father. It's the same with the court. Unless it is a serious crime that can exterminate nine generations of a family, the court will not exterminate a family for no reason, right?"
Wang Yuerong felt that this argument was wrong, but she couldn't find any words to refute it, so she could only say, "I can't argue with you."
But her mood was much better after all.
She had always been unable to overcome this hurdle, and thought she would never be able to overcome it in this lifetime. But after hearing what Su Yao said, she suddenly felt that this didn't seem to be a big deal.
Seeing that she was much calmer, Su Yao told her about Su Rong's request to go to the battlefield.
Wang Yuerong looked up suddenly.
Su Yao said earnestly: "Sister-in-law, you can certainly give up your brother because of your guilt, but this life may be very long, but sometimes many things are uncertain... You may think that there may be a chance in the future, but things in life are uncertain, and things on the battlefield are even more uncertain. When the time comes, when you think of this time, will you regret not untying the knot in your heart and not having the courage to tell your brother your true thoughts and feelings?"
Wang Yuerong's pupils suddenly shook.
Su Yao knew that he had said enough, so he said no more. He just comforted her with a few words and then left.
As soon as I came out, I met Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang was already in tears. When she saw Su Yao, she couldn't help crying: "Yaoyao, my dear girl, thank you so much, thank you so much!"
She also heard what Su Yao said.
For the first time, she realized that Su Yao was such a good person.
In the past, when Wang Yuerong praised Su Yao for being so good and insightful, she did not take it too seriously and just thought that Su Yao knew how to behave. She knew that from now on, Wang Yuerong would be the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion.
But now it’s different, she truly sees the good in Su Yao.
This girl has a pure heart. Even at this point, she is still willing to say these words. This really shows their sincere friendship.
In life, it is a blessing to have such a good friend.
Su Yao smiled and shook his head.
When she was leaving Wang's house and was about to get on the carriage, she suddenly saw a familiar figure standing under a jujube tree not far ahead.
When she saw the figure turn around and smile, she couldn't help but smile too.
The charcoal-grilled beef at Baodinglou is a must-try. Su Yao watched Xiao Heng slicing the meat attentively, feeling satisfied. He couldn't help but relax and asked him, "When did you wait there?"
"I was there when your carriage went in." Xiao Heng put the sliced meat with sauce on her plate, reached out and poured her another glass of rose wine, and asked with a smile: "Are you happy to see me when you come out?"
Su Yao pursed his lips.
Xiao Heng thought she wouldn't answer.
After all, the Su Yao he knew was always calm, self-controlled, and reserved, as if he would lose if he lowered his posture.
But unexpectedly, Su Yao curved his eyes, and his tone was as gentle as the white clouds hanging in the sky in the early morning: "Very happy."
Xiao Heng paused, raised his eyes and looked at her steadily.
Su Yao was originally smiling brightly, but seeing him staring at her so intently, she couldn't help but blushing like the morning glow: "What did I say wrong?"
