Su Yao took such drastic measures as soon as he came back. It was obvious that he wanted to use these disobedient servants to intimidate everyone so that they would be more obedient. Everyone knew it in their hearts. Although they were still a little uneasy, they had to admit that seeing Su Yao still so calm and fearless at this point, everyone in the family breathed a sigh of relief at the same time - since Su Yao could be so confident, it meant that the family could still hold on for a while, right
Su Yao had just finished assigning the tasks when Ruan Xiaojiu trotted in. When she saw Su Yao, she shouted, "Miss! We are back! Master Huang is here too, and he said he wanted to personally apologize to the old lady."
Su Yao had expected Huang Zhengqing to come.
Huang Zhengqing was a very upright person in his previous life. When his eldest son, relying on his name, raped a girl from a commoner family while he was in mourning in his hometown, he ignored the opposition of many people and his family and wife and insisted on having the government punish the crime according to the law and sent his son to exile in Lingnan.
Young Master Huang has not yet reached the point of raping women, but judging from his face, he will soon be there.
From the very beginning, Su Yao never thought of swallowing his anger, nor did he think of making a big deal out of a small matter.
Originally, when Su Rong got into trouble, those who usually didn't get along with the Su family would probably stare at the Su family. If the Su family couldn't survive, those people would immediately pounce on them like jackals and devour the Su family. She must guard the house well and wait until Su Rong and the others have definite news.
Hearing Ruan Xiaojiu say this, she raised her eyebrows and hummed without any politeness: "Okay, since Mr. Huang is so sincere, that's the best. Please come in, Mr. Huang."
He glanced at Li Rui and the others again and said, "You should continue to do the tasks assigned to you before."
Li Rui responded excitedly.
As soon as Su Yao was sent away, he called out to everyone loudly, with a serious face, "Did you hear what our young lady said? I tell you, if you have any bad intentions, put them away as soon as possible! The old lady is still at home, the third master is still here, and the eldest and fourth young ladies are still here!"
When they heard that the father of Mr. Huang, the troublemaker at the city gate, had come to apologize, the last bit of uneasiness in everyone's hearts disappeared.
Just as Li Rui said, as long as Su Yao is here, this family will never break up.
After shocking and calming the servants, Su Yao politely bowed when he went out to see Huang Zhengqing.
Mr. Huang hurriedly dodged and said, "My Lady, you are so polite. I came to your house with such a shameless face today to apologize for the wrongs done by my unfilial son. Please don't bother with him. From now on, I will discipline him strictly and will never let him get carried away like this again."
Su Yao had no intention of making things difficult for him. He made a gesture of invitation and led the way without saying anything extra along the way.
Huang Zhengqing couldn't help but sigh in his heart. His good-for-nothing was four or five years older than County Lord Su, but compared to County Lord Su, he was really only older but not smarter. If he could be half as calm as Su Yao, he wouldn't have caused such an embarrassing incident today.
As they were talking, they had already arrived at Old Lady Su's Kangping Garden. Before they even entered the door, they could already hear crying from inside, so Su Yao paused.
She was not afraid of the servants' unrest, nor was she afraid that the Huang family would refuse to bow their heads, but the tears of Old Lady Su and Wang Yuerong always made her feel afraid from the bottom of her heart.
I guess everyone is like this.
I don’t know how heartbroken Su Rong would be if he knew that the old lady and Wang Yuerong at home were so sad.
Huang Zhengqing also had a solemn expression, with sympathy and pity in his eyes.
After a moment, Su Yao took another step.
As soon as she entered the yard, Yu Xia came to meet her. Seeing Su Yao, she couldn't help but said anxiously: "Miss, please go in and see the old lady. No one can persuade her..."
Yu Xia had never seen Old Lady Su like this before and was really scared.
Su Yao pursed her lips and nodded, then looked at Huang Zhengqing apologetically.
Huang Zhengqing hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Please do as you please, Lady County. I'll be waiting outside. The old lady can come whenever she is convenient."
He could fully understand Mrs. Su's sadness and collapse.
Su Yao was no longer polite to him. He nodded and went straight into Old Lady Su's room.
The room was in chaos. Master Su San was so anxious that his forehead was covered with sweat. He kept trying to persuade Old Madam Su, but Old Madam Su would not listen to a word. Her chest was heaving violently, and she was exhausted from crying too loudly. She was leaning on the pillow and crying. Wang Yuerong was watching by her side, trying to hold on. Seeing this, she could not help but burst into tears.
Everyone was crying together. When Su Yao came in, Wang Yuerong seemed to have found a savior. She rushed over and grabbed Su Yao's arm: "Yaoyao, Yaoyao! What did you mean just now? You said that there is no result yet. Why did you say that?"
She was on the verge of collapse, relying entirely on Su Yao's words at the city gate to hold on. Now that she saw Su Yao, she couldn't help herself and asked in a broken-hearted manner, "Is your brother okay?"
Old Madam Su also looked at Su Yao with tears in her eyes, and finally became a little angry: "Yaoyao, did they pass on the wrong message? Is Rong brother okay?"
Su Yao calmed down. She knew that Old Lady Su and Wang Yuerong were already at the end of their strength and could not stand any provocation, so she simply nodded and said calmly, "I think so."
Sometimes, what can save people from despair is a pair of decisive words.
Hearing Su Yao say this, both Old Lady Su and Wang Yuerong were obviously relieved.
Wang Yuerong stumbled for a moment before she stood firm. Old Madam Su was already busy asking Su Yao, "Why do you say that? Did you hear any news?"
Now the news came that Xiao Heng had died. The palace was in a mess, so there might not be any new news. How could Su Yao have any news? However, at this time, he naturally couldn't tell Old Lady Su that there was no news. Su Yao said directly: "The emperor sent the son of Guangping Marquis to Zhaotong, Yunnan. He said that he didn't believe that His Royal Highness would be in trouble."
Song Xiangyu is gone!
Although Mrs. Su looked relieved, she didn't hold out much hope in her heart. But when she heard that Song Xiangyu went to Yunnan, her eyes couldn't help but light up.
If even Song Xiangyu thinks Xiao Heng is fine, then Xiao Heng may really be fine!
If Xiao Heng was fine, Su Rong, as the vanguard, should be fine too. Old Mrs. Su's mind was in a mess and she had no time to be happy when someone came to report that someone from the Wang family had come.
