There has always been a custom of returning to one's parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year. As usual, the Su family started to get busy early in the morning. Because there were so many people coming, the firecracker debris that had just been cleaned up had fallen to the ground in a thick layer again, and the air was filled with the smell of sulfur.
Su Yao lifted the curtain and looked at both sides of the street. The carriage she was sitting in turned in from the west corner gate. When she arrived at the second gate, Jinping was waiting for her with his men. When he saw her, he breathed a sigh of relief and came to greet her: "Miss, you are back. Is everything going well?"
Originally, Li Rui could have been the one to send Su Xingxuan out of the city, but yesterday Su Yao also wanted to go along. Although Jinping and the others didn't say anything, they were actually a little scared in their hearts. After all, Su Xingxuan was a very scary person, and she would cause trouble even for no reason.
Now that they have met Su Yao, they finally feel relieved.
Su Yao helped her get off the carriage, smiled and let her look him over before asking her, "Has the old lady finished her meal?"
"Not yet." Jinping followed her closely and replied, "The eldest lady woke up today. The old lady rushed over when she heard the news. She is still in the eldest lady's yard. Are you going to the eldest lady now?"
Su Yao nodded.
Now that she's back, of course she has to go see Su Xingyi first.
There was another crackling sound of firecrackers outside. Su Yao covered his ears and walked into Su Xingyi's yard, where he saw Liu sitting under the corridor.
Seeing Su Yao coming, Liu stood up quickly and announced it, then came out to greet him: "The fourth lady is here, please come in, our lady has woken up..."
Su Yao helped Su Xingyi solve all of her troubles this time. She was very grateful to Su Yao in her heart, and it showed on her face naturally.
Su Yao nodded at her and walked into the room through the curtain she had opened. He saw Old Madam Su sitting on the edge of Su Xingyi's bed, saying something. Su Xingyi turned her head and looked at him with a pale face.
She called out softly, "Big Sister."
Su Xingyi smiled weakly, with a hint of smile in her eyes, and waved to Su Yao. When Su Yao came closer, he looked her up and down, then turned to the old lady and said, "She's really pretty. I can tell at a glance that she's the daughter of my third uncle and aunt..."
Her face was still very pale. She had just experienced a life-and-death experience, as well as her husband's betrayal and the harsh reproaches from her in-laws. But she was still gentle and kind, and looked like a cultivated flower blooming in a beautiful garden, with a kind of fragile beauty.
Su Yao didn't know what to say. Su Xingyi reached out and held her hand, looking at her with bright eyes. She tilted her head and coughed softly before she sighed and said, "Thank you, Yaoyao."
Old Mrs. Su sighed deeply, stretched out her hand to brush her hair behind her ears, and said in a low voice: "Don't think too much, at least this matter is in the past. There is nothing worth lingering about in a family like theirs. It is your blessing to be able to get out of it. As for..."
Thinking of the child who died in infancy, Mrs. Su paused for a moment with difficulty before continuing, "As for the child, just pretend that it never happened. Don't be sad."
Speaking of this, Su Xingyi's face turned even paler, but she still had a smile on her face and nodded along with the old lady's words: "Yes, the world is too hard, it's better not to come."
Old Mrs. Su was silent for a moment, then opened her mouth, not knowing what to say next.
She originally wanted to comfort her granddaughter, but in fact Su Xingyi knew everything, and she spoke these great principles more fluently than she did.
But Old Mrs. Su knew that the wound in her heart could never heal.
She didn't know what to say, so she wiped her eyes and calmly changed the subject: "By the way, Yaoyao, how's it going?"
Unconsciously, Old Mrs. Su started to address Su Yao the same way as Mrs. He.
Su Yao glanced at Su Xingyi, and seeing that Su Xingyi was finally a little angry because of this question, he told her everything about Cheng Dingan being captured by Song Heng.
"Wu Wangkun sold his nephew and niece because he was set up. This is set in stone. With the testimony of that gangster and Cheng Dingan at the murder scene, he can't be separated from the connection." Su Yao's face became even colder when he talked about Cheng Dingan: "With him, it will be much easier for Song Heng to do things."
Old Mrs. Su sneered.
For this man who repeatedly plotted against the Su family, Old Madam Su only wished that he would die a horrible death. Her eyes suddenly turned fierce: "It's still a good thing for him! No matter how many times this scum dies, it won't relieve the hatred in my heart!"
I just hope Song Heng can find out more useful things, Mrs. Su was thinking this, when Nanny Huang said through the curtain that there was news from outside that someone had come from the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
When Old Lady Su heard the words "Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion", her expression changed involuntarily.
Su Xingyi also closed her eyes, looking very painful.
Seeing that no one was talking in the room, Nanny Huang said, "Then I'll go and send them away."
Marquis Zhongyong and Wen Shichang were already imprisoned yesterday. Now the women in Marquis Zhongyong's mansion were as frightened as birds with a broken horn. Nanny Huang didn't care whether the person who came was the marquis's wife or not.
But Su Xingyi called out to her. Seeing that Old Madam Su and Su Yao were both looking at her, she stroked her chest to calm down, then said calmly, "I'll go see them."
Thinking of what Su Rong said after he came back, Old Lady Su now hated the people of the Wen family to the core. When she heard that Su Xingyi was going to meet the people of the Wen family, she immediately shook her head and said, "Why should we meet those people? Your mother-in-law is totally ignorant! What do you mean by saying that we are marrying above our station? How could she say that? We didn't beg and cling to their family back then, but what about them? They kept saying that gentlemen honor their promises and would never break them. Look at what they did!"
He wanted a good reputation but also felt that he was being taken advantage of, so he tortured people so cruelly. Whenever Mrs. Su thought of this, she felt heartbroken.
She didn't have to marry her granddaughter to their Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion. They married her but didn't treat her well. This time, they even teamed up with outsiders to plot against Su Xingyi, who had given birth to their family's children. They also plotted against the Su family. They have not been able to show mercy for all these years.
How can these people be called human beings
It's easy to tell that the reason they came here now is because Wen Shichang and Marquis Zhongyong were both imprisoned. They are now desperate and must have come here to ask Su Xingyi for help.
Su Xingyi patted Old Madam Su's hand soothingly.
