Yu Dong's expression was equally solemn. Su Yao had kept them in the mansion before leaving in order to ensure the safety of the mansion and to transmit messages. This time he went to guard the city gate and really saw many officials and soldiers returning to the city one after another. After asking the reason, he found out that something had happened to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
There was no way to hide this matter. Yu Dong was about to cry. Seeing Su Xingyi's face suddenly turned pale, he hurriedly advised her: "Miss, now is not the time to be sad. You should stabilize the family first and wait for the fourth young lady to come back!"
Needless to say, Mrs. Su must be heartbroken after such an incident. Most importantly, Wang Yuerong...
She was a newlywed, and the Yunnan incident happened right after she got married. Her husband was summoned to the palace on her wedding night, and then he went to Yunnan to quell the rebellion. Now he has failed...
Even a man would not be able to bear such a thing, let alone a girl? If this matter were known, I'm afraid the family would be in chaos and there would be no peace.
Not to mention Old Lady Su and Wang Yuerong, Su Xingyi herself couldn't hold on.
She, Old Lady Su and Su Rong had been dependent on each other and their relationship was extremely deep. But now she suddenly heard that her brother had died. Her heartache was beyond words. She could not hold on any longer and fell into the armchair, unable to speak for a long time.
Yu Dong didn't dare to help her, and could only repeatedly advise her to be more open-minded and consider the family.
After losing the head of the family, the Su family will face countless difficulties and challenges in the future. If they fall now, the Su family will only be in a more difficult situation than when Master Su got into trouble.
Su Xingyi forced herself to sit up, nodded stiffly, and immediately straightened her face and ordered Yu Dong: "Go prepare the carriage and horses, we will go after the old lady."
This news has spread widely today. The Su family has already heard about it, and it is even more impossible for the He family not to know about it. How desperate will Old Lady Su and Wang Yuerong be by then
Even if they wanted to know the news, she should tell them in person.
Seeing that she was conscious and had the wives in an orderly manner to be lectured, Yu Dong agreed to prepare the carriages and horses with confidence.
Su Xingyi dealt with the affairs at home and got on the carriage without any delay to look for Old Madam Su and the others.
But when they arrived, the He family's doorman was a little confused. He shook his head blankly and said, "You mean Old Madam Su? Old Madam Su didn't come to our place!"
How could that be?!
Su Xingyi was startled and thought for a moment that she had misheard, until she heard the doorman say with certainty that indeed no one from the Su family had come. Then she panicked and hurriedly asked Yu Dong and the others to go and find out what happened. They had agreed to come to the He family, so why didn't they come
The concierge also hurriedly sent two people out to accompany their people to look for her. At the same time, someone else sent the news inside. He Er Niangniang came out soon. Seeing Su Xingyi was in a hurry to leave, she hurriedly pulled her aside and asked, "Xingyi, what happened? The old lady didn't come to our place! Where did she go?"
Su Xingyi was now very confused and her mind was in a mess. She felt as if countless mosquitoes were flying around in her head. After a long while, she suppressed her panic and anxiously told the whole story.
Second Madam He looked haggard. When she heard that Old Madam Su and Wang Yuerong were coming to visit Madam He, she lowered her head and sighed sadly, "Madam He is ill. We originally planned to go visit the old lady, but she is too ill..."
Are you sick
Su Xingyi was a little surprised: "Why didn't you send a letter? We didn't know..."
"Madam won't let anyone tell anyone." Second Grandma He smiled bitterly. "My aunt is back, and the children are back too. The house is in a mess, and there are many things to deal with. Plus, Madam is very ill, so we're very busy and there's no chance to tell anyone. Alas..."
Judging from her expression, she didn't seem to know that Su Rong was in trouble.
Su Xingyi hesitated to speak, not knowing whether she should talk about this matter when Mrs. He was seriously ill.
Just as she was getting anxious, Yu Dong came running over and said, "Miss, I've already found out that our old lady's carriage is heading to Deshengmen."
Went to Deshengmen
Su Xingyi didn't bother to talk to He Er Nainai anymore. When she heard the news, she was anxious to find Old Madam Su. She nodded apologetically to He Er Nainai: "Second Madam, let's go find my grandmother first, and we'll talk to you later."
He Er Niangniang raised her hand hurriedly: "Go, go, it's good as long as you find it. When Madam is better, I will tell her."
Su Xingyi felt uncomfortable, but she still forced herself to respond casually with a "yes" and hurriedly lowered the curtain.
She thought all the way about how to persuade Mrs. Su and how to comfort Wang Yuerong, but when she really arrived at Deshengmen, her hair almost stood up, and she looked at Mrs. Su and Wang Yuerong standing in front of the city gate with her back tensed. They were standing in front of an extremely gorgeous carriage. There were two lanterns hanging on the left and right sides of the carriage door, with the word "Li" clearly written on them. Those were the lanterns of Princess Mingchang's mansion!
Princess Mingchang had always been quite hostile to the Su family. It was unknown whether she would say something mocking to Old Madam Su at this moment. She hurriedly lifted her skirt and got off the carriage. Looking at the crowded crowd, she didn't care about putting on her hood or the maid's shouts, and trotted towards the direction of Old Madam Su and Wang Yuerong.
But before she arrived, she had already heard several people in uniforms discussing the matter: "Isn't that someone from the Su family? I saw the Su family's carriage emblem!"
"Yes, they are from the Su family! Look at the old and the young. The old one should be the wife of the Yongding Earl, and the young one... should be the wife of the Yongding Earl whose husband went to the battlefield right after getting married."
There was laughter.
Those people didn't seem sad at all. They were still laughing and talking about how unlucky Wang Yuerong was, as she became a widow just after getting married.
"So what if she's the wife of the Lord?" A young man sighed, "It's a pity that she doesn't have the life to enjoy it. It's a pity to see such a beautiful woman die young. She will definitely not be able to keep her husband in the future. Don't look at her crying sadly now..."
Su Xingyi was so angry that she was shaking all over.
Even if Su Rong died, it was a worthy death, sacrificing his life for the country, but these people not only had no sympathy or admiration for him, but also made such vulgar speculations about his wife and family! Who are these people and what are they? !
She could no longer bear it, her eyes reddened as she angrily grabbed the young man who had said the most unpleasant things and sneered, "Who are you? My brother served his country loyally, he was a real man, even if he died, he is a thousand times better than a maggot like you living in this world!"
The young man was both embarrassed and angry. Noticing that everyone entering the city was looking in this direction, he quickly pushed Su Xingyi away.
