Wei Desheng was in a state of confusion for a moment.
He has been a carefree person all his life and never cares about anything, but his wife and children are his weak spot. He and his wife are a couple who have been through thick and thin together.
When he was still fighting Japanese pirates along the coast, he accidentally fell into the sea one time. Everyone thought he was dead and no one believed he was still alive. His wife's family also advised her to remarry, but she refused. Not only did she refuse, she still helped him with housework, took care of his parents, and raised children.
Because of this, Mrs. Wei fell ill.
He once promised that he would make her live a good life.
Originally, he did settle his wife and children in a very secret place. Once he succeeded, he would go to pick up his wife and children and take them away, either to sea or to Mu Tong. In short, he would still enjoy a life of wealth and glory.
However, Yuan Zijian knew about this arrangement.
That means Mrs. Yuan is indeed aware of it.
Thinking of this, Wei Desheng wanted to strangle Mrs. Yuan to death, but reason stopped him. He knew very well that if he did, his wife and the others would really have no chance of survival.
Mrs. Yuan had said everything she needed to say, and without lingering for a moment, she decisively left the room.
The sun was shining brightly outside. Mrs. Yuan saw someone standing under the persimmon tree and quickly quickened her pace. She called out to Miss Su gratefully, but felt a little uneasy: "Why should I trouble you to hold her? Let me do it."
"It's okay." Su Yao saw her take the child over, and said softly: "I have already fed her, but I couldn't see her crying so hard, so I carried her over. She is already asleep now."
Madam Yuan carefully gathered the child in her arms and said with a smile, "That's his personality. He's very afraid of strangers. I don't know how, but he and the county princess are destined to be together. Maybe it really is fate." Now that the biggest worry has been solved and the children are safe, Madam Yuan feels much more relaxed, and her voice is more lively than a few days ago.
The two chatted for a while, and Madam Yuan directly told Wei Desheng what she had said inside, and said softly: "County Lady, I have already told him where Madam Wei and the others are hiding. He is a heartless and greedy person, but there is one thing he is very good to Madam, and he is different from the unscrupulous man in our family."
Su Yao smiled, thanked Mrs. Yuan for her advice, and asked her, "What are you going to do in the future?"
Speaking of this, Madam Yuan was a little disappointed: "I can't go back to my parents' home. Even if they want me to go back, I dare not go back. If they can sell me once, they can sell me a second time. It's fine for me, but I still have two children. I don't want my children to suffer the same way as I did. I won't let them end up like me."
Su Yao thought for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "How about you follow me first, Madam? I only have one maid with me anyway. If you follow me, we will have one more female relative, and we will need your help with many things. When we return to the capital, I will think of another way for you. If you want to set up a female household, I can help you with that."
Mrs. Yuan agreed without hesitation.
Her brothers and parents from her natal family didn't value women very much. After she returned, she looked at people coldly, and even her children felt aggrieved. But if she followed Su Yao, it would be different.
Even if they set up a female household, with Su Yao's help, they would be able to support themselves in the capital.
Su Yao smiled and said, "Madam, please go and have a rest first. I still have some things to deal with."
Madam Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and walked away with the child in her arms. Yan Cao then came up to Su Yao and asked, "Miss, was Madam Yuan... trustworthy?"
It’s not that Yan Cao doesn’t like Madam Yuan, but she has seen too many cases of ingratitude while following Su Yao. Madam Yuan is Yuan Zijian’s wife after all. If she harbors resentment or is unwilling to accept her fate, wouldn’t it be just asking for trouble if she stayed by his side
This girl has actually learned to doubt others. Su Yao was really surprised and looked at Yan Cao seriously.
Yancao was embarrassed: "What are you looking at, girl? Did I say something wrong?"
"That's true, but Madam Yuan's situation is different. She risked her life to help us send out intelligence from that house, which shows her determination." Su Yao sighed: "It's not a good thing to force someone into a desperate situation. Yuan Zijian was too ruthless, which led to his current fate. Madam Yuan is someone who cares about the children, so for the sake of the children, she won't do anything to us, don't worry."
Yan Cao was really relieved, and followed Su Yao and asked her: "What should we do now?"
Su Yao turned around and tapped her on the head: "What should we do? My brother and His Highness will take care of these things now. I have nothing to worry about. I am only worried about one thing now."
Yancao was a little nervous: "What's the matter?"
Anything that could make her girl worry must be something very big.
Su Yao couldn't help laughing: "What else? Of course it's your lifelong event! What do you think about what I told you before?"
Speaking of this, Yan Cao blushed with shame, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into, and hurriedly called out to the girl, "Why are you still talking about this?"
Aren't we going to interrogate Wei Desheng now? Why is the girl asking about her marriage again
Su Yao couldn't help laughing: "It's not that I want to bring it up, it's that someone is anxious and ran to Big Brother to ask for it, so I came here to ask you. If you agree, I will go and tell Big Brother. If you don't agree, then... I will have to tell Qingkun to give up this idea and find another suitable one!"
Unexpectedly, Qing Kun actually went to Su Rong to ask for marriage. Yan Cao was surprised and happy for a moment. She didn't care about being shy anymore. She looked at her daughter with wide eyes: "He, he really went to ask the uncle?"
Su Yao had just heard about this from Su Rong, but she was more happy than surprised. The man was in love and the woman was interested, and Qingkun was the eldest brother's confidant. As long as the two of them could live a stable life, their future would not be bad.
Thinking about Yancao in the previous life, how could Su Yao be unhappy? She smiled and nodded.
Yan Cao pinched the corner of her clothes. At this point, she knew she had to speak, so she nodded in a whisper: "I, I will listen to you, young lady."
This silly girl, Su Yao patted her hand with emotion and said, "Then I will go and tell my eldest brother that when we return to the capital, I will marry you off in style. Don't worry, as long as I am here, you will not be afraid that Qing Kun will dare to bully you."
Yancao burst out laughing.
