"Your sister is very smart. Otherwise, how could she have discovered so many things in just a month in the palace? And she could also use such a covert method to send us a message?"
When talking about her daughter, Jiang was very proud and would not allow anyone to say anything bad about her, not even her own son.
Su Zimo was already used to being criticized whenever his sister's affairs were involved. He touched his head which was hurt by the blow and said timidly, "I didn't say anything bad about my sister."
"How can those ladies from noble families compare to one finger of my sister?"
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Let's think about what to do next!" The old master interrupted them.
Su Zimo pointed at the words on the Buddhist scripture that slowly disappeared as the potion dried:
"Grandfather, uncle, didn't my sister say it in this letter? There are some true and some false news about her. Don't pay attention to the rumors from the outside world. If there is something wrong, she will find a way to send a message back."
The old master thought for a moment and said, "Well, whether Qiao'er is pregnant or not, we should treat it as true. I think Qiao'er thinks so too."
"As for what's mentioned in the letter, using this phonetic method to pass messages is indeed a good idea. Everyone in the family should learn it, but not spread a single word to others. Do you hear me?"
Su Yunhai nodded very carefully: "Dad, don't worry! We know the seriousness of this matter."
"Yes, grandpa, don't worry! We are not ignorant kids." The three grandsons, aged fourteen or fifteen, also assured seriously.
The old master knocked on the table and told his eldest son:
"Yuncheng, go write a letter and send it quietly to the border, asking your brother to pay attention to the people around him. Since Qiao'er said that there is a spy named Liang around him who wants to harm him, there must be one."
"I'll write it right away when I get back."
There are spies around my younger brother and nephew, so they must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
"Grandfather, my sister told me to go overseas to do business and maritime trade. Can I go now?"
Su Zimo thought for a long time and felt that the most important thing at the moment was to earn more money so that he could develop his own power.
Only then will he find the right opportunity to rescue his sister from the palace.
"But your sister also said that there will be robbers on the road."
The old teacher has always been hesitant about his grandson's interest in business.
According to his thoughts, this little grandson should study literature and pursue a career in officialdom, but he was concerned about the emperor, so he did not make a decision.
"What are the robbers afraid of? Are those businessmen afraid of robbers and not going out?"
Su Zimo was not afraid at all, he had long wanted to go out and do business.
It was because of his own interest before, but now he has a clearer goal.
The old lady hit him on the head in frustration: "Stupid, your sister is reminding you that someone wants to kill you!"
"Hmph, if an enemy comes, I will fight him; if a flood comes, I will block it with earth. I, Su Zimo, am no pushover." Su Zimo touched his head, but showed no intention of backing down.
The old master thought about it carefully.
At this time, it would be better to send the younger son away.
If something really happens, it’s better to save as many people as possible.
"Please wait a little longer. Didn't your sister say that she has a business plan and will send it back to you in the near future?"
"I'll wait, but my sister is alone in the palace, and I don't know if she's in danger." Su Zimo was still worried about her sister's safety.
He felt angry when he thought about how his sister, a delicate and gentle girl, was deceived by the man above and now was trapped in a dangerous situation.
