If we had not suddenly thought of a way to go separately when we were at the post station, we would have been stuck there and no one would have been able to leave. For this reason, we just discussed leaving a mark and then dispersed.
But there were too many people, and there were only a few villages nearby. At first they hid in the villages and towns, but soon the government started to send people to seal off the villages, so they had to disperse further. Even so, many guards and entourage were searched out and dealt with by Lord Yuan.
Thinking about those people now, Su Rong felt bad.
There were more than 40 brothers who had been with them through thick and thin, and some of them were old family generals he brought with him from the Earl's Mansion. However, they died at the hands of their own people before they even reached the battlefield.
It was precisely for this reason that he had no good feelings towards Lord Yuan at all. To be honest, if Lord Yuan was not still useful to him, he would be the first one to kill him.
Su Rong said that Miss Mu San and Mu Qinglu had not been found yet. Su Yao glanced at him and saw that he looked gloomy. He guessed the reason immediately and tried to speak in a positive way: "Miss Mu San was born and raised in Yunnan, so she must be very familiar with Yunnan. You can only hide in the city, but they may not have to do so. There shouldn't be any accidents. Brother, don't worry too much."
Hearing this, Tang Yuan's brows relaxed. After all, he was the one who raised Mu Qinglu, so it was not an exaggeration to say that they were father and son.
Mu Qinglu has been missing for so long, and now the situation in Zhaotong has stabilized. If they are really in Zhaotong, then there should be news anyway, but there has been no news for so long, how can he not be worried? Now hearing Su Yao say this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. Yes, Miss Mu San is the local boss of Yunnan, and no matter who gets into trouble, she shouldn't get into trouble.
Su Rong just reached out and touched Su Yao's head, but he was still relieved. After feeling relieved, he couldn't help but say to Su Yao: "You are still making trouble as usual. You are a girl. What will the people in Beijing say if you come to Yunnan like this?"
After complaining for the last time, I asked her, "Is everything okay at home?"
And a little guilty.
The accident happened just after the wedding. When the news was sent to the capital, I wonder how worried the old lady and Fenfen were.
Su Yao shook his head with a stern face: "How can it be good? Grandmother and elder sister are so sad that they are sick. Even the eldest sister-in-law is even more... How long have you been out and you were reported dead? The eldest sister-in-law's family is so worried. Even though our two families are so close, they can't watch their daughter be a widow for the rest of her life..."
Su Rong's face changed. She thought that the words from the capital would be even worse. Since the Wang family didn't want their daughter to suffer, they would definitely persuade her to divorce. Then... What about Fengfen? How should she deal with it
He pursed his lips and said nothing for a moment.
Su Yao tilted his head and stared at his elder brother seriously. Seeing that he frowned and said nothing, he sighed: "Brother, sister-in-law... "
Seeing Su Yao's expression, Su Rong immediately thought of the worst. He took a deep breath and reluctantly interrupted Su Yao: "Forget it, don't say anymore. We can talk about these things after we go back."
After hearing this now, he was afraid that he couldn't bear the pain in his heart.
I don’t know if she can still see the letters sent back to the capital, and what she will think if she sees them.
He was in a state of confusion, but he never felt that there was anything wrong with Wang Yuerong's decision to leave the Su family.
Seeing his bitter and resentful look, Su Yao couldn't help but burst out laughing, and didn't dare to tease him anymore: "Okay! I lied to you! Before I came, my in-laws did persuade my sister-in-law to file for a divorce. This can't be blamed on the Wang family. On the contrary... they made such a choice at that time for the sake of my sister-in-law. After all, Lord Wang is a civil official who values his reputation the most. But my sister-in-law refused. She refused no matter what. She didn't believe you were dead. In other words, even if you were dead, she would not go back to the Wang family."
Su Rong didn't know how to react for a moment. He thought that Su Yao said this so seriously because Wang Yuerong had returned to the Wang family. But the result was not the case at all. Wang Yuerong was still in the Su family and was still so firm and persistent towards him.
This girl!
Su Rong pinched Su Yao's face angrily and said, "You little liar, when did you become so cunning and playful?"
Tang Yuan couldn't help laughing beside him.
He was used to seeing Su Rong's calmness. Even Su Yao was a very calm person. To be honest, if Tang Yuan saw them, the Su family's brother and sister were really mature. If they were said to be in their eighties, people would believe it. They were so calm! He had never seen them so lively and active. Even someone like him couldn't help but find it interesting and smiled.
Su Yao hurriedly dodged and begged for mercy, staring at Su Rong with his big eyes blinking, and calling him brother with a smile.
Su Rong was both angry and amused, his heart filled with joy. After a long while, he reached out and poked Su Yao's forehead: "Remember this, I'll deal with you when I get home!"
The two laughed and joked for a while, then Su Rong asked Qing Kun to come in and take Yan Cao and Su Yao downstairs to settle down first. He knew that Su Yao must be very tired as he came here exhausted.
Su Yao stood still. Tang Yuan had been here for so long, it was impossible that he came here just to listen to their gossip. It was obvious that he was worried about his wife and children in the capital, so she smiled and said to Tang Yuan, "Don't worry, Prince Consort. Your Highness is doing well, and so is the family. It's just that the Princess of Xianning County misses you very much. When hunting in the enclosure, the Princess of Xianning County even hunted a fox. His Majesty was very happy and praised her for having your style."
Actually, Zhaotong is fine now. The memorial has been submitted. The court's reply will arrive in a few days. Then I can receive letters from home, but how can letters compare to someone speaking in person to make people feel more at ease? Tang Yuan smiled and bowed to Su Yao: "It's all thanks to the county lady for being willing to take her out to play. Thank you, county lady."
After asking if everything was fine at home, Tang Yuan felt relieved too, and personally went to meet Cui Daru to settle down first.
Su Rong was fine, so he simply accompanied Su Yao to the backyard wing room and ordered someone to boil some hot water. Then he told Su Yao, "Pack up first. I'll go see His Highness first and come over to take you to dinner later."
Somehow, he felt more and more that Su Yao was actually like a child, and he unconsciously wanted to treat Su Yao like a child.
