It was the in-laws who came to visit, and now something like this had happened. Old Mrs. Su felt even more uneasy and more attentive. No matter how sad she was, she still pulled herself together, wiped the tears from her face, and hurriedly called out repeatedly, "Please come in!" She also asked, "Who is coming?"
Yu Xia had already gone out to ask, and when she came back she reported to Old Madam Su: "It was Master Wang Da, Master Wang Wu, and Madam Wang Wu who came."
It's them!
Mrs. Su had recovered a lot by this time, so she turned around and told Master Su San to go out and entertain the guests, then looked at Su Yao: "Yaoyao, you just said, who else is waiting outside?"
Su Yao repeated it again.
When they heard that it was Huang Zhengqing, the expressions on Mrs. Su and Wang Yuerong's faces turned a little cold.
The Su family was in such a dire juncture, and Mr. Huang's behavior was nothing more than adding insult to injury, and the words he said were truly too harsh to hear. To this day, whenever Mrs. Su thinks of his nonsense about widows in the Su family being unlucky, her heart still aches.
She snorted coldly: "It's gone. Please ask him to ask Mr. Huang to say less of these words, and I, an old woman, will thank him."
Su Yao thought for a moment, and then quietly told her about asking Ruan Xiaojiu to take Yu Dong to the Huang family, and then said, "Mr. Huang beat Young Master Huang on the spot. Grandmother, he is not the same as Young Master Huang."
Old Mrs. Su immediately understood what Su Yao meant.
She took a deep breath and hummed, "In that case, please ask Mr. Huang to go to the side hall to talk."
What Su Yao was considering was that since the Huang family had already made their gesture, it would be better for the Su family not to be relentless at this time. After all, they still had to worry about people outside finding fault with them.
After all, it is easier to add icing on the cake than to provide timely assistance.
There are many people like Mr. Huang, so the lower the Su family's attitude is, the better.
It doesn’t matter whether others can see it or not. What’s important is that Emperor Yuanfeng must see it.
She patted Su Yao's hand and said softly, "Thanks to you, Yaoyao, the family will depend on you from now on."
Being able to say this, in fact, Mrs. Su has already made preparations in her heart that if Su Rong cannot come back, she will have to rely on Su Yao to support the Su family in the future.
Su Yao shook his head.
Old Mrs. Su was stunned, and Wang Yuerong, who had been immersed in sadness, also looked up in surprise.
To outsiders, Su Yao might be unkind and difficult to get along with, but only those close to her know that Su Yao is actually the most loyal to her family. Basically, as long as Su Yao can contribute to any big or small matters in the Su family, she has never refused.
So they were so surprised when Old Lady Su wanted to hand over the future Su family to Su Yao, but Su Yao refused.
Su Yao smiled and said to them in a soft but firm voice: "I want to go to Zhaotong too."
What?!
Mrs. Su didn't react for a moment, and Wang Yuerong opened her eyes wide, and then she stopped her in a trembling voice: "No! You are a girl, the mountains there are high and the roads are long, even His Highness and the uncle got into trouble when they went there, how can you go?!"
Not to mention that Xiao Heng and Su Rong had gotten into trouble, even if they hadn't, she would not agree to go to Yunnan alone.
Mrs. Su also reacted at this time, and hurriedly nodded along with Wang Yuerong's words: "Yes, this is not a joke. The situation over there must be very bad. Even if Rong Ge'er and the others are fine as you said, their situation must be worrying. After all, the son of Guangping Hou is an imperial envoy, with enough people and he is also very skilled. But you are a girl, no matter how smart you are, you are weak after all, what use can it be? You are not allowed to go!"
The Su family cannot lose its two backbones at once.
Su Yao knew how nervous Old Lady Su and Wang Yuerong were, so he smiled softly when he heard this: "Old Lady, sister-in-law, I must go on this trip no matter what. It is precisely because of the danger that I have to go. Regardless of whether I can help or not, I will always feel more at ease when I go. Besides, I am not going alone, there are also Cui Daru and his son."
Old Mrs. Su's expression changed.
Of course, Cui Daru knew that the reason why Su Yao wanted him to go to Yunnan was because he was very familiar with the local situation and had a good relationship with the Governor of Yunnan.
If he were here, things would probably be much more convenient.
She was a little undecided.
Su Yao held her hand tightly and said, "Grandma, there is no time to hesitate. Let me go. As for the family, I believe that my eldest sister-in-law, eldest sister and father will be fine. I trust them."
Master Su San has indeed changed a lot recently, and he really looks like the man of the family.
Even if Su Rong really can't come back, this home will still have to be handed over to him.
Old Madam Su sighed deeply, closed her eyes, and finally made a difficult decision: "Since you said so, I will listen to you, but no matter what, you must take care of yourself... Yaoyao, grandma knows that I owe you too much in this life. I only hope that in the next life, I will repay you even if I have to work like a cow or a horse!"
Su Yao is just a girl. If she wants to go to Yunnan, no matter whether she succeeds or not, she will attract countless criticisms.
Her marriage, even with the title of county lady in the future, will probably be difficult.
And all this is because of the Yongding Marquis's Mansion.
Old Mrs. Su pulled herself together and forced a smile: "Okay, go with peace of mind, grandma will definitely be waiting for you at home, don't worry about anything!"
She turned around and asked Yu Xia to take out the clothes for meeting the guests.
Su Yao knew that Old Madam Su was relieved, so he accompanied Wang Yuerong to her room to meet Mrs. Wang Wu.
Wang Yuerong's eyes were already swollen. When Mrs. Wang Wu saw her, her eyes also turned red. She shouted "many", then sighed and patted her on the back.
Wang Yuerong's eyes suddenly became red again. After a long while, she managed to hold back her tears. She smiled at Mrs. Wang Wu with a strong expression, "Don't worry, Aunt Wu. I'm fine." Then she asked her, "Where's my mother?"
Mrs. Wang Wu looked at Su Yao with some embarrassment, and lowered her head with a heavy heart: "Sister-in-law is sick..."
He must have fallen ill because of the anxiety he felt after hearing the news.
Wang Yuerong suddenly became anxious: "Is it serious? Did you call the imperial physician? What did the imperial physician say?"
Mrs. Wang Wu hurriedly comforted her: "I have already asked for help. The imperial physician only said that she was overly stressed and overly worried. He didn't say anything else. Don't worry for now. It's just that she can't come by herself. I asked her to come and take you back to live with her for a while."
As a child, it is natural to go back and take care of your parents when they are sick.
Wang Yuerong's expression turned serious.
She has always been smart and not the kind of person who acts on emotion. Now Mrs. Wang Da didn't come, but Mrs. Wang Wu came to pick her up. Although it was said that she would stay there for a while, the underlying meaning might be more than that.
