Su Yao and the others had been gone for a while. At first, Old Madam Su was very worried, fearing that something might go wrong during this hunt. But after waiting for a while, she found that the letters sent back by Mr. Su San only told good news, so she finally felt relieved and stopped dwelling on the matter. When Madam He returned to the capital, she felt relieved again.
However, after sending several invitations to the He family, Mrs. He did not come. Even Mrs. Su realized that something was wrong and sent Su Zheng to deliver another invitation.
Wang Yuerong saw that Old Lady Su was frowning because of this matter, so she gently comforted her: "Maybe it's because she just came back from a long trip, so there are still many things to clean up at home. When she is done, she will naturally come to see you."
Old Madam Su felt a little uneasy. She couldn't help but shook her head and sighed, "You don't know her temper. If it were in the past, the first thing she would do when she came back would be to come and see me. Besides, how long has she been back? Even if it was a big deal, it should have been dealt with. She dragged it on for so long... I'm always uneasy. My dear, did your aunt send you a letter? Did something happen in their family?"
In the past, Second Grandma He used to come here every few days, but after Mrs. He came back, she stopped coming here. Old Mrs. Su found it even more unreasonable. Thinking that Wang Yuerong had just returned to her parents' home, she wanted to ask Second Grandma He if she knew what happened to Mrs. He.
Wang Yuerong shook her head: "My aunt didn't go back this time. My mother said that my aunt sent someone back in advance to inform us that there was something going on at home, so she didn't go."
Old Madam Su was even more confused. She sighed deeply and said, "Then I'd better go there myself. She is so stubborn, just like a cow. I'm afraid she has encountered some difficulties but she still keeps it to herself."
Wang Yuerong held her hand and whispered, "Then I'll go with you."
Old Mrs. Su patted her hands with relief. Thinking that Wang Yuerong was so good, but had to stay alone just after getting married, she felt even more annoyed and pity. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry for wronging you, my good child. Just wait for Rong Ge'er to come back."
If Su Rong could return triumphantly, the family would not have to worry about the future of at least this generation. As long as they could live a good life, Old Mrs. Su felt that she would have no other regrets in her life.
When talking about Su Rong, Wang Yuerong felt even more heavy-hearted.
Come to think of it, it has been a while since I last received a letter from Su Rong. I don’t know if things are going smoothly over there.
But no matter how worried she was, life still had to go on as usual. Old Mrs. Su set a time to go to the He family and even sent someone to deliver the message, for fear that they would be caught off guard. As Wang Yuerong was the granddaughter-in-law and the niece of Second Grandma He, she naturally had to accompany them and started to get busy.
However, on the appointed day, the concierge outside had already prepared the carriage, but Su Xingyi hurried over to dissuade Old Madam Su: "Old Madam, you are not in good health, and my wife-in-law may have something else to do so she didn't come to our house. Why don't you wait a while? Otherwise, you will disturb her by rushing over suddenly."
Old Madam Su was a little puzzled. She had clearly sent someone to inform the He family, and Su Xingyi had also agreed to go to the He family to see the situation. But why did she suddenly come and say such a thing now
"What's wrong with you, kid?" Old Madam Su couldn't help but smiled and said angrily, "You have a different idea every now and then? We've already told them that we're coming to visit, and you're suddenly saying no now, isn't that child's play? Besides, I know her personality best, and I guess something must have happened in Qingzhou, otherwise, she would have come to see me. Forget it, don't say that, take care of the family, I'll be back soon."
Old Madam Su seldom went out. This time, the whole family had started preparing two or three days in advance. Soon, the steward came back to report that the carriage had been harnessed. Su Xingyi bit her lip and looked pale. After hesitating for a long time, she gently advised Old Madam Su: "I know this, but you are so old, and you are going through so much trouble..."
Old Madam Su looked at her in surprise, then she looked down and stared at her for a long time, until her granddaughter felt a little uncomfortable. Then she asked seriously: "Xingyi, tell me honestly, is there something wrong with the He family?"
There has been no movement from the He family these days, and Old Madam Su has long been suspicious. Now Su Xingyi has been trying to stop her from going to the He family. She immediately thought that something must have happened that caused Su Xingyi to be so flustered.
Su Xingyi pursed her lips, and for a moment she almost couldn't control herself, but she still swallowed her saliva and forced a smile, "How could that be? The old lady is overthinking. I'm just worried about you, afraid that you'd be bumpy back and forth, and I also thought that my wife-in-law has always been a person of measure and ideas. If she doesn't come, I'm afraid she has some unspeakable secrets, so I asked you not to go."
Old Madam Su stared at her for a while, as if to confirm whether what she said was true or not. After a while, she said, "If that's the case, I'm going to go. Don't worry about me. I'm in good health. As long as you and your sister are fine, I can hold on!"
Speaking of this, the pain in Su Xingyi's heart almost burst out, but she still gritted her teeth and endured it, forcing a smile and nodding.
Old Madam Su held Wang Yuerong's hand and got on the large carriage at the second gate. She then stuck her head out and told Su Xingyi who had followed her: "Go back. It's just a trip. Look how nervous you are."
Su Xingyi didn't know what to say. She waited until Mrs. Su's carriage left the door before she ran towards the meeting room in panic. Then she saw Yu Dong who had been waiting there for a long time. She forced herself to calm down and asked, "Did you find out everything? Is the news true? Is there any problem?"
In the morning, several shop assistants from home came back one after another and said that many officials who had gone to Weichang had returned early, saying that something happened in Yunnan and they had to rush back.
After hearing this, Su Xingyi thought of Su Rong and was frightened out of her wits. That is why she had been trying to stop Old Madam Su from going to the He family, even though the He family might not have received the news. But what if
She couldn't imagine how sad and desperate Old Mrs. Su would be if something really happened.
Yu Dong met her gaze and nodded with difficulty: "I have already found out everything... something really happened..."
