There were ice basins placed everywhere in the shed. The breeze from the lake dissipated most of the summer heat. Second Madam He looked up first and saw Su Rong and Wang Yuerong. She couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Come here, look at these poor people. It must be because the sun is too strong outside. Everyone in the shed looks refreshed, but their faces are sunburned red."
The adults were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh out loud at the same time.
Su Rong also came to understand that Second Madam He was joking and felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Wang Yuerong was so embarrassed that her face turned red. She hid in Madam Wang's arms and refused to show up.
Mrs. Wang felt sorry for her daughter and couldn't help but laugh and scold her sister-in-law: "You are so old now. You will be a mother-in-law in a few years. Why are you still so frivolous?"
In an instant, the tense atmosphere caused by Su Rong's going to war was swept away, and everyone became happy.
Old Mrs. Su was happy to see that the couple was getting along well, so she hurried to change the subject and asked the maids to light up the lanterns.
The sky gradually darkened, and colorful lights were lit everywhere. The ice basin in the shed had been there for a long time, and when the wind blew, a slight mist floated in the air. Old Mrs. Su, who was sitting at the top, was happy to see it, and she had a smile on her face all night.
During the break, Su Rong asked Su Yao: "You went out this afternoon. Is there anything wrong?"
The ice bowl in front of her looked mouth-watering. Su Yao originally didn't want to tell Su Rong about Cui Yuandao, but if she didn't tell him now, he would know it later. So she raised her eyebrows and told him about Fourth Master Cui. She didn't mean to hide it from Su Rong: "In my opinion, this matter is not that simple. It's not just revenge for Cui Yuandao's betrayal of the Cui family. I'm afraid it's killing two birds with one stone. It's revenge for Cui Yuandao and it's also holding you back. You must be careful in Yunnan from now on."
Su Rong's face darkened, and he sneered and cursed Fenyang Palace a few times: "Speaking of which, if they really had any dissatisfaction, they should not have been so greedy and afraid of death and pretended to be loyal and obedient in front of the emperor. If they were so loyal to the deposed emperor, why didn't they just follow him when he died? In the final analysis, it's just because they are too greedy."
It must be because of some kind of interest bond that he is inseparable from the remnants of the previous dynasty.
Su Yao nodded. She also knew that if their interests were not the same, the Fenyang Palace would have gone crazy to give up their good lives and get involved in the struggles in the court, making things so ugly.
She came back to her senses and looked at Su Rong: "It's okay, just be careful, I'll watch over the family."
Now that they were about to set off, there was nothing he could do. Su Rong hesitated, pursed his lips and said to Su Yao: "You have worked so hard."
It's really not easy to take care of this home.
Su Yao shook his head: "You can't say that. It's not that hard. I think that anything that has hope is worth fighting for."
As long as the direction is right, a little hardship in the process is nothing. The worst thing is that you work in the wrong direction from the beginning, and all your struggles are in vain. That makes people despair.
The next day, Su Yao got up early. Although she was mentally prepared, when it came time to send Su Rong off, Old Lady Su still cried bitterly. She wanted to send Su Rong to Deshengmen in person, but was persuaded to stop by Master Su San and others.
Su Yao did go and saw with her own eyes Su Rong getting on the horse and meeting Xiao Heng. She hugged Wang Yuerong, who was crying uncontrollably, and comforted her softly.
Princess Fenyang was also watching the excitement in the crowd. When she saw Princess Yongning and the Princess of Xianning surrounding Tang Yuan, she curled her lips sarcastically and said to Master Cui San, "Did you see that, brother? The princess who used to be the most useless has finally become proud."
Third Master Cui was impatient. He had no interest in watching such a commotion. Instead, he stared at Su Rong for a long time: "Doctor Shen's medical skills are truly superb. He was able to cure a cripple who had been disabled for so many years. Looking at Su Rong, who could tell that he was a cripple before?"
Speaking of Doctor Shen, Princess Fenyang's face became even uglier. She had tried to invite Doctor Shen several times before but failed, and now she was very disgusted with Doctor Shen. Moreover, she had just mentioned this troublesome person. When she looked up, she saw the carriage of the Yongding Marquis's Mansion, and immediately couldn't help frowning: "The Su family's carriage."
Master Cui followed her gaze and saw a red-tasseled cart parked in front of a dim sum shop. He raised his eyebrows and touched his chin: "Is this the little girl that you and Chun'an both hate so much?"
Apart from Su Rong, there is only Master Su San in the Su family. The other male members are still young. The ones who can stay in the carriage must be the female members. And the one who can come out to see them off must be Su Yao, who is close to Su Rong and has been conferred the title of county lady.
Princess Fenyang sneered in disgust: "Yes." After saying this, she withdrew her thoughts and asked Master Cui San: "How is the situation over there?"
"It's pretty good." Cui Sanye said nonchalantly: "Even if Cui Si jumps into the Yellow River, he can't wash himself clean."
Unless Wu Qianniang would testify for Mr. Cui Si and voluntarily admit to the murder, but how is that possible
Princess Fenyang was so annoyed by the excitement that she said to Master Cui San, "Let's go back."
What's so good about it
Master Cui Sanye's gaze lingered on the carriage for a moment before he turned around and led the inconspicuous carriage away.
It was almost noon when Su Yao returned home. Because Su Rong had just left, the atmosphere in the mansion was gloomy. Old Madam Su didn't even want to have lunch. Su Xingyi was busy persuading her. Su Yao went straight to the meeting room and asked Ruan Xiaojiu as soon as he entered the door: "What's going on?"
She sent Ruan Xiaojiu to see Tui Guan Zhang.
Ruan Xiaojiu hurriedly replied, "Miss, Zhang Tuiguan went to see Wu Qianniang first and talked to her for a long time. He also said that Master Cui had her released. Wu Qianniang has now left Shuntian Prefecture. I followed her all the way. After Wu Qianniang left Shuntian Prefecture, she returned to the house that Master Cui had bought for her before, and then came out again."
Su Yao raised an eyebrow: "Where did you go then?"
"He went to an inn." Ruan Xiaojiu had already found out: "He stayed at Yuelai Inn in the north of the city."
"Very good." Su Yao lowered his eyes: "Master Chen has kept a close eye on her, right?"
Ruan Xiaojiu nodded: "Yes, Lord Chen has sent people to follow her. If there is anyone who really has contact with her, they will definitely be able to find out."
As for Wu Qianniang, she had stayed in the Shuntian Prefecture prison for two nights and had been living in fear for a while. Now it was the time when she could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She lay in bed for a long time without moving, staring at the curtains at the head of the bed for a long time before she finally laughed out loud.
From now on, she no longer had to worry.
