Cui Daru was also talking to Su Yao about the return trip. Originally, Su Yao went to Yunnan with him because there was no news from Xiao Heng and Su Rong, and she was really worried, so she strongly requested to go with him to see what the situation was. But now, the situation has become clear, Xiao Heng and Su Rong are both unharmed, and Zhaotong has been taken, so the next step is to quell the rebellion.
Although he knew that Su Yao was not an ordinary woman, this was a war after all, and according to Cui Daru's opinion, Su Yao really didn't need to take any risks.
He said softly, "I'm afraid there are things in the capital that you need to deal with when you go back. If you want to go back, I will let Silang take you back."
Asking Mr. Cui Si to send Su Yao back personally shows that Mr. Cui Daru also attaches great importance to Su Yao's safety.
Su Yao shook her head and refused. She had come this far already, and she had no intention of giving up halfway. So when she saw Cui Daru was a little surprised, she said directly, "Sir, don't worry about me. I will go see my brother first, and then we can talk about the return journey."
Although Cui Daru felt that there was nothing that County Lady Su had to worry about in the future, since County Lady Su wanted to go, he naturally couldn't force her not to go, so he didn't say anything more.
When they returned to their cabin, Yan Cao was a little confused: "Miss, since Uncle is fine, why do we have to go to Yunnan?"
If Yancao were to say, it would have been impossible to go before, after all, Su Rong's life or death was unknown, and the family was in chaos. Without a definite result, no one could rest assured. But now that everything is fine, why should she go? Yancao was not worried about anything else, she was worried about her daughter's reputation.
"I have to go." Su Yao didn't say much, just glanced at Yan Cao and said, "Forget it, I know what's going on. No need to say more. By the way, is there any news from the capital?"
She asked Chen Dong to help her investigate something. Considering the time, with Chen Dong's efficiency, there should be results soon.
Yan Cao couldn't do anything about her daughter. Since the daughter had already made up her mind, what else could she say? She started talking about business: "Yes, I have packed them all here for you."
She pushed the letter in front of Su Yao, poured him some tea, and when she saw that Su Yao had no other instructions, she looked around and walked out.
When Su Yao saw the sealing wax on the envelope, he knew that the letter was from Chen Dong. After reading it, he remained silent for a while.
In the letter, Chen Dong had already found out about Aunt Liu who had married a businessman from Datong. After she got married, she had not been living a happy life. People near and far knew that she was being bullied by her in-laws because she had given birth to four or five daughters in a row but no sons. Her life was very difficult.
But recently, Aunt Liu's life has suddenly become better.
Not only did she become wealthy, but even her husband's family, who had always bullied her, became particularly submissive to her. It was said that this was because Aunt Liu found her long-lost relative, who was a wealthy man, and therefore helped her a lot.
How could I have the nerve to go against Aunt Liu when I was eating her help? Aunt Liu was also very proud of this.
However, according to what Chen Dong said in the letter, these so-called relatives are now missing.
Relatives
Su Yao never believed in such a coincidence. Now it seemed that these so-called relatives were more like the masterminds who instigated Aunt Liu to tell Madam He the truth about Queen Hu's death.
After closing the letter, Su Yao thought for a while, wrote a reply and sealed it, preparing to ask Yan Cao to send it back to the capital, but Yan Cao came in and hurriedly handed over another letter: "Miss, there is another letter. It just so happens that the ship docked today. It said that it was delivered today, but it has only just arrived here."
After all, Cui Daru was also on the ship, and they also needed to receive the letter, so it delayed some time.
When Su Yao took the letter, he saw that it said that Aunt Liu had died and that it was Aunt Liu's mother who went to Madam He's house to deliver the news.
At this time!
Xiao Heng happened to be fine, and Aunt Liu died. What was she actually planning? Was she eager to stimulate Madam He to assassinate the emperor as soon as possible, or was she eager for Madam He to cause some trouble to disrupt the deployment in Yunnan.
Chen Dong said that he had sent people to follow the Liu family and they had investigated very clearly. The so-called Liu family was actually named Lai, and he was a close confidant of Liu Chunwang from the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau.
Jiangnan Weaving Bureau
Su Yao immediately thought of Liu Chunwang and the Min family whom he had heard of when he was in Juhai Manor.
These two families have always been very close to Fenyang Palace and Xu Family. However, when the imperial court was cleaning out these people, I don't know if they were lucky or something, but they managed to escape.
But now, it’s not difficult to deal with it now that we know who it is.
She thought of Zhang Minghe's alleged death from a stroke while in Qingzhou, frowned, and wrote a letter to reply to Chen Dong.
When Chen Dong received the letter, it was the second time that Aunt Liu went to the He family. This time, she didn't go to ask for money again. It was said that she went to deliver something to Mrs. He. It was the relic left by Aunt Liu. She also said that Aunt Liu had repeatedly instructed that it should be passed on to Mrs. He.
Mrs. He is sleeping.
Aunt He wiped her tears and took the box. She shook her head at Aunt Liu, "Mother's health is getting worse day by day. We have invited doctors several times in the past few days. Everyone said there is no way and we can only take it one step at a time... Until now, we don't know what to do. When she is conscious, she thinks about you and Aunt Liu. If you are free, please come to our house often."
Mother Liu looked over and saw Mrs. He lying unconscious on the bed behind Aunt He, with an oddly pale face.
Her face also became sad, and she sighed and shook her head: "Don't be too sad, maybe it's okay, just rest for a while, maybe it will be fine."
Aunt He choked up and shook her head, asking Aunt Liu to stay for dinner.
Mrs. Liu was unwilling to do so and said hurriedly, "There are many things to do at home. Thank you very much, but I really don't have time. I will come again when my wife is better."
Aunt He asked the housekeeper to see her off personally.
Mother Liu walked out of the He family's door and stood in front of the side door of the He family for a while. Seeing that several doctors had come to the He family in a short period of time, she frowned, turned around, and quickly went back to the Liu family's house in the capital.
The Liu family's house was located in Dongsi Hutong, a prime location, and the house was also extremely spacious. Mother Liu entered through the side door and soon arrived at the main courtyard.
There was already someone waiting in the room. As soon as Liu's mother entered the room, the boss asked, "How is it?"
"No, she's breathing out more than breathing in, and she looks like she's about to die." Mother Liu's previous honest look was gone, and she snorted with a gloomy look on her face.
