Su Yao felt a little sad, and after a pause, he told Shen's mother: "Send Ruan Xiaojiu to tell them that I will be there tomorrow, and tell them not to worry, and wait until I get there before they can discuss anything."
Mother Shen put away the medicine, sighed, and lowered the curtain for her.
The wind and rain stopped temporarily, and Su Yao had a rare good sleep. The next morning when he went to pay his respects to Old Madam Su, he took the opportunity to bring up the idea of going to the Shen family.
Old Madam Su agreed very readily. Thinking that the Shen couple had been dragged to court for no reason and had suffered a lot, she specifically asked Su Xingyi to prepare some gifts for Su Yao to take with her. She also said, "Tell them for me that I, an old woman, did not manage the household well and let them suffer."
How could the Shen family couple dare to bear a grudge against the Su family? After hearing what Su Yao said, Mr. Shen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No wonder the old lady, who could have thought of these things?"
After being sick and frightened, Mr. Shen looked very bad. He coughed for a while, then smiled and said to Su Yao: "By the way, Yaoyao, I heard that you were named the county lady..."
Mr. Shen sighed, and was sincerely happy for Su Yao: "Good! Good! It was us who delayed you in the first place, so that you were bullied everywhere when you returned to the Su family, and this time you were even brought to court..."
He had been in business all his life, and he had also been taboo about going to court. Thinking that Su Yao, as a real rich lady, had to suffer such grievances, he felt very uncomfortable.
Mrs. Shen was also crying beside him: "Your godfather has been unable to eat or sleep these days. He always feels that he has let you down. Yaoyao, we thought about it and decided to let you come here this time because we want to say goodbye to you."
Before Su Yao could even feel sad, she couldn't help but be shocked: "You guys are leaving?!"
Mr. Shen's face was gloomy. "I asked you to come here just to tell you that there is no point for us to stay in the capital. Instead, it will only make things difficult for you. After thinking about it, I think it would be better to go back to my hometown. I originally came here to see my children. Now that I go back, I will just treat it as a dream and continue to live my life as before."
He looked lonely. The longer he stayed in the capital and the more he interacted with these wealthy families, the more he realized that the gap between officials and businessmen was like an insurmountable chasm.
In the past, they always thought about being a helper to Su Yao, but now it seems that they can't help Su Yao at all and are just a burden to Su Yao.
Su Yao didn't know how to react for a moment. He couldn't help but clench the cup in his hand. He looked at Mr. Shen blankly and called him father softly.
She hadn't shouted like this for a long time. When she shouted like this, Mr. Shen was surprised and couldn't help feeling sad. He was already in his forties, but he still choked up.
Mrs. Shen rushed over with tears in her eyes and embraced Su Yao in her arms, crying, "Good boy, good boy, it's not that we won't be able to see each other in the future. As long as you are well, we will be relieved..."
Su Yao didn't know how to react. His scalp was tightening and his head was aching. He shook his head and then realized what was happening. He grabbed Madam Shen's hand, stared at Master Shen and asked, "Did something happen again? Otherwise, why did you suddenly move the whole family away? Yan'er is still studying. If you leave like this, what will happen to Yan'er's studies? His classmates are all in Hedong Academy. Are they going to stop studying?"
Shen Jiayan had worked so hard to get into Hedong Academy, and if he went back like this, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Mr. Shen has made up his mind, "Originally, he should have returned to his hometown to take the examination the following year. It would be a good idea to take this opportunity to go back first. As for the teacher, it would be the same if he could find one after he returned. We have already made up our minds about this matter. The shop in Beijing has been changing hands recently. We will go back after everything is settled. I asked you to come here because I am worried about you and I am afraid that you will think too much. So I informed you in advance, Yaoyao, you must take good care of yourself in the future. If we have time in the future, we will come to see you."
After saying such a long string of words in one breath, he began to feel exhausted again and let out a breath: "Forget it, Yaoyao, you can go back."
Su Yao wanted to say something else, but he had already turned his head away. Madam Shen sent Su Yao out and walked all the way to the second gate until Su Yao got on the carriage. She stopped and said, "The family is so busy and chaotic. Originally, we wanted you to have a reunion dinner together, but your godfather is like this, and we don't know when he will be better... Later, we'll talk about it later. You are in the capital, don't worry about us. Our roots are originally in our hometown. We will do business as usual when we go back. We may feel more comfortable in our hometown than in the capital." Su Yao didn't know how to react. His scalp tightened and his head hurt. He shook his head before he reacted. He grabbed Madam Shen's hand, stared at Mr. Shen and asked, "Did something happen again? Otherwise, why did you suddenly move away with the whole family? Yan'er is still studying.

Su Yao wanted to say more, but he had already turned his head away. Madam Shen sent Su Yao out and walked all the way to the second gate until Su Yao got on the carriage. She stopped and said, "The family is in a mess. We originally wanted to have a reunion dinner with you, but your godfather is like this, and we don't know when he will be better... Later, we'll talk about it later. You are in the capital by yourself, don't worry about us. Our roots are in our hometown. We will do business as usual when we go back.
