When the carriage returned to Su's residence, Su Fengnuan stopped his messy thoughts, lifted the curtain, and got out of the carriage with an umbrella.
The carriage of the Guozhang Mansion also stopped at this time, and Xu Yunchu also got out of the carriage holding an umbrella.
The door of the mansion was closed tightly, Su Fengnuan stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The doorman poked his head out for a look, quickly opened the door, and asked, "Miss, are you back?" After saying that, he looked at Xu Yunchu, because he had come to see Su Qing off last time, and the doorman knew him, so he opened the door immediately. Eyes widened, "Uncle Xiao Guo?"
Xu Yunchu nodded slightly.
Su Fengnuan asked, "Where's my mother?"
The doorman immediately said, "Madam went to the Rong An Palace in the morning. I had lunch at the Rong An Palace. I just returned to the residence not long ago."
Su Fengnuan thought that her mother was so diligent in running to the Rong An Palace, and she was really not afraid of people saying that the Su Mansion was upside down. She nodded and ordered, "Go and tell my mother, and say that Uncle Xiaoguo has followed the emperor's order and came to me to interrogate me about Lingshan's orphan. I'll invite him to the living room to talk."
The doorman took the order and hurried to the backyard.
Su Fengnuan turned around and said to Xu Yunchu, "Uncle Xiaoguo please."
Xu Yunchu nodded, walked into the door with Su Fengnuan, and said to her at the same time, "Everyone outside has said that Miss Su is vulgar, impolite, and has no rules. In my opinion, they are all wrong. Since Miss Su came out After leaving the emperor's warm pavilion and leaving the emperor's eyes, he was very polite."
Su Fengnuan thought of him coming to the mansion as a guest, so naturally she had to inform her mother, is this considered polite? She laughed and said, "You are the only one who says I am polite."
Xu Yunchu looked at her meaningfully, and said inexplicably, "Really? It's probably because the Queen Mother once wanted to marry you and me, and you can't wait to avoid me. So, now in the capital, seeing me, I did this." Just be respectful."
Su Fengnuan choked and was speechless for a moment.
Xu Yunchu looked at her, and said slowly through the rain curtain, "Miss Su likes Ye Shizi? So, avoid me like a snake?"
Su Fengnuan coughed, and felt that Xu Yunchu's words were too straightforward, and this matter might be difficult for this uncle Xiaoguo for a while. In addition to the fact that she concealed it and made him feel stupid and fooled, it was probably a little bit embarrassing. A man's face is bigger than the sky, and usually, he can't lose it.
But since she asked this way, if she prevaricates a little, the estrangement and knot will become deeper, which is not a good thing.
So, she simply nodded and said with a smile, "Did you see it? Ye Shizi's appearance, I think it's very good, his temper is also to my liking, his temperament, he is not a good person, and I am also very good." Pretty much. Prince Rong An's Mansion doesn't have any rules, which suits me very well. He seems to be tailor-made for me, so it's hard not to like him or not."
After saying these words, she felt that the flesh all over her body went numb. Thinking of it belatedly, it seems that she has been doing such things recently. Talk about love to someone who is bedridden. It's a pity that he didn't hear it, and others heard it.
I really can't blame her for this matter, it's him who has no ears...
After Xu Yunchu heard this, he suddenly sneered, "I didn't know that the girl is such a person who pays attention to appearance."
Su Fengnuan smiled dryly, "After all, you and I don't know each other very well. Although we have known each other for a few times, we have never had a deep friendship. Of course you don't know."
Xu Yunchu smiled and said nothing more.
Su Fengnuan let out a deep breath, seeing the butler rushing over, he seemed to have found a rescue, and immediately told the butler, "Take Uncle Xiaoguo to the living room, and I'll get some things."
The butler nodded repeatedly, and was extremely polite to Xu Yunchu, "Please, Uncle Xiaoguo."
Xu Yunchu nodded, and followed the butler to the living room.
Su Fengnuan turned around and went to her own yard, thinking that it would be best to avoid this uncle Xiaoguo in the future as long as she could. She knew that he was someone who should never be provoked, but she never expected to avoid him. , is still troublesome. This God really doesn't love her at all.
Mrs. Su heard that Xu Yunchu and Su Fengnuan came to the Su Mansion together, she was stunned for a while, and then asked the doorman, "Why did Uncle Xiaoguo come to our mansion with Nuan'er?"
The doorman immediately conveyed Su Fengnuan's words.
After hearing this, Mrs. Su breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I'll go right away."
After the doorman left, Mrs. Su changed into another dress, held an umbrella, and hurried to the front hall.
After the housekeeper led Xu Yunchu to the front hall, he ordered people to serve tea, and then accompanied Xu Yunchu to gossip.
Not long after, Madam Su arrived, Xu Yunchu stood up, and said to Madam Su gently and politely, "Auntie, Yunchu is bothering you."
Mrs. Su smiled and waved her hands, "Excuse me, last time you saved Su Qing, it was getting late, and I couldn't thank you properly. I have been busy recently, and I didn't take the time. You will stay to eat tonight Let's have dinner."
Xu Yunchu shook his head with a smile, "Auntie, you're welcome, I still have something important to do, so just sit down and leave."
Mrs. Su said, "The rain started to fall in the morning, and it has been raining for half a day now, and it still hasn't stopped. I'm afraid it will fall until night. The case of Chaling Mountain is not an urgent matter, and the emperor has never restricted your time to handle the case." , It’s raining to investigate the case, the cold air enters the body, it’s easy to get sick, listen to me, stay here for dinner tonight, I’ll let the kitchen prepare it.”
Xu Yunchu declined again, "Auntie, I just had lunch in the palace, it's still early in the evening, let's try another day."
"It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. Now you are working on two major cases. Once you get busy, you don't have much free time. Auntie has always wanted to thank you. When will she push it again and again?" Mrs. Su said enthusiastically, "Su Qing I didn’t go out today, and I’m in my yard. I’ll send someone to call him to accompany you. It’ll be over in half a day. You’re not allowed to decline any more, and if you decline again, you won’t give me the face of being an elder.”
Xu Yunchu laughed when he heard the words, and cupped his hands, "Auntie has said so, if I refuse again, I will be ignorant of current affairs. If this is the case, then I will disturb Auntie."
Mrs. Su said happily, "You sit down first, I'll go and tell the kitchen to prepare."
Xu Yunchu nodded.
Mrs. Su left the living room with an umbrella.
After Su Fengnuan returned to her yard, she took a box from the bottom of the box, which contained all the evidence she had collected about the Lingshan case in the past two years. After she got it, she didn't go to the living room immediately, but thought that with her mother's enthusiasm and her gratitude to Xu Yunchu, she would have to say something well, so she put the box aside and lay on the bed by herself Close your eyes and take a nap.
It never occurred to her that her mother would keep Xu Yunchu for dinner.
Therefore, when Mrs. Su braved the rain to find her yard, entered her room, picked her up from the bed and told her about it, she was a little confused for a moment, "Mother, it's just past noon, you're Want to keep Uncle Xiao Guo for dinner? Isn’t that too enthusiastic?”
Mrs. Su glared at Su Fengnuan, "Didn't Uncle Xiaoguo want to question you about Lingshan and Xiaochi? Why did you hide in the room and fell asleep? You left him in the living room?"
Su Fengnuan looked at her, "Didn't I call you to entertain her?"
Mrs. Su said angrily, "Last time he saved your third brother. It was getting late and I didn't thank you. It's been raining outside today. I thought, so I let him stay in the mansion for half a day, and leave after dinner. After all, it's life-saving Zhien, thanking others like this is still light, and if you find an opportunity in the future, you have to thank him with something else."
Su Fengnuan was speechless for a while, and said to her, "I have nothing to say to him. Lingshan was destroyed. After I saved Xiaochi, I collected relevant evidence. Now I just give him all the evidence. I thought you would accompany him Watching him have a good talk, I didn't expect that you would really come, and you actually left dinner directly to express your gratitude. Mother, I really admire you like a torrent of river water. "
Mrs. Su reached out to knock her on the head when she heard the words, and said with an angry smile, "I just sent someone to inform your third brother and ask your third brother to accompany him. Anyway, your third brother is fine today. I haven't gone to the kitchen yet. , come to you first to ask, haven’t you been called into the palace by the Queen Mother today? Did you go back to the mansion with Uncle Xiaoguo? Could it be that the Queen Mother has changed her mind about giving you a marriage?”
Su Fengnuan shook her head when she heard the words, and took her into the palace to meet the queen mother. What did the queen mother say to her, and how did she reply? Then the emperor called her to play a game of chess. During lunch, Xu Yunchu went to ask for an order. Things, said briefly in a word.
After Madam Su heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Suddenly I heard that you and Uncle Xiaoguo went back to the mansion together, and I was shocked. I thought the Queen Mother had changed her mind again, and what happened in the palace today will be made up of you." A bunch of things? Since the queen mother changed her mind and wanted to marry you to Xiaoshang according to the emperor's wishes, it would be the best."
Su Fengnuan nodded, no trouble is a good thing, and she doesn't want too much trouble.
Mrs. Su said again, "You have seen Uncle Xiao Guo several times since you returned to Beijing from the border. Why haven't you heard about it? I hope Uncle Xiao Guo really doesn't have any thoughts, otherwise, there will still be trouble."
Su Fengnuan said, "I understand what I said, Xu Yunchu is a smart person, so he shouldn't be in any trouble."
Mrs. Su glared at her, "Isn't Lin Zhixiao a smart person? He also looks very smart."
Su Fengnuan was speechless for a moment, and when Lin Zhixiao was mentioned, she felt a headache.
Mrs. Su saw her brows twitching again and again, she laughed immediately, touched her head and said happily, "There are hundreds of girls in my family. Why is my daughter not begged? I'm not boasting, looking at the world, I'm afraid There are really not many people who can match my daughter, whoever wants to fall in love with you, that is the eye of wisdom."
The corners of Su Fengnuan's mouth twitched, and he stretched out his hand to gently pat Mrs. Su's face, and coaxed, "My dear mother, go to the kitchen quickly, if you keep bragging, I should blush for you. Are you okay? When I was a child, listening to those unbearable rumors outside could lower my self-confidence."
Madam Su opened her hand, laughed and cursed, "Stinky girl!", turned around and walked out the door, holding an umbrella and going to the kitchen.
