After a while of nonsense, it was another night of backache and leg pain.
Early the next morning, Su Yan was lazy on the bed again, and when she got up, the sun was already high.
Brother Mu is sleeping less and less every day now. When Su Yan got up, Brother Mu was kicking his calves to play, and the wet nurse was shaking the rattle, making Brother Mu laugh with an exaggerated expression.
Su Yan asked the wet nurse to bring Mu Geer to her. When she saw Su Yan, Mu Geer, who had been teased by the wet nurse for a long time without laughing, suddenly laughed. Su Yan hugged Brother Mu and kissed him on the forehead, and teased with a smile: "Brother Mu, have you thought about Concubine Mu?"
Brother Mu was so excited, he kept kicking his legs, and giggled from his throat.
The nurse smiled and said, "Xiao Shizi is so smart, he knows his mother at such an age."
Seeing that Su Yan finally got up, Liu Xiang immediately went to the small kitchen to bring Su Yan breakfast.
While eating breakfast, the concierge sent a message from outside. Cai Xia went out to hear the news, and when she came back, she looked a little panicked: "Madam, something happened to Uncle Anjing's mansion, and the old lady is lost."
Su Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Caixia nervously: "What's going on?"
Cai Xia said: "The old madam went out after receiving a letter yesterday afternoon, and she didn't come back after a whole night. Uncle Anjing's mansion sent many people to look for it this morning, but in the end they only found the letter. Mrs. An Jing left the city yesterday afternoon, and her whereabouts are a mystery. I searched all morning and still haven't found anyone. Mrs. Wang is afraid that something will happen, so I have to send you news immediately."
After hearing Cai Xia's words, Su Yan immediately put down the spoon in her hand and walked out of the room with her skirt in hand. Mrs. An Jing is so old, something must have happened if she didn't return all night!
Sitting in the sedan chair, Su Yan was talking about this matter. Mrs. An Jing received a letter before leaving, that is to say, the clues are all in this letter.
Before the sedan chair came to a complete stop, Su Yan couldn't wait to get off the sedan chair and directly entered Uncle Anjing's mansion.
At this moment, Madam Wang was like an ant on a hot pot, constantly circling around the room. When she saw Su Yan, she immediately greeted her: "Grandma Wugu, you are back!"
Su Yan didn't waste time at all, and asked directly: "Didn't you say that people left after receiving a letter? What about the letter?"
Mammy immediately brought the letter to Su Yan to read: "Auntie, please take a look, this letter is from the second girl of our family!"
Su Yan took the letter, and was taken aback when she heard the name. The name Su Xi hadn't appeared in her life for a long time, and few people even mentioned her.
Su Yan looked at the beautiful font on the envelope and raised her eyebrows slightly. She was not familiar with Su Xi's font, and now she couldn't be sure that the letter was sent by Su Xi. After thinking about it, Su Yan immediately asked Cai Xia to go back to the room she had before leaving the pavilion to find if there was any ink marks with Su Xi.
Caixia left immediately.
At this time, Su Yan asked Mrs. Wang: "Why did someone notify me at this time?"
Mrs. Wang sighed: "Occasionally, the old lady goes out to pay respects to the Buddha. It is common for her not to return all night. I just thought that the old lady lived in the temple, but this morning I sent people to search around the temples and found no one. , Only then did I realize that something was wrong. This letter was also discovered, otherwise... Otherwise, how dare I delay notifying you until this time!"
As soon as the words were finished, Su Jian also entered the room. She looked at Mrs. Wang anxiously and asked, "What's going on? How could grandma get lost?"
Su Yan shook her head, unfolded the letter written by Su Jian, and glanced at it, which made Su Yan's face change.
The letter stated that Su Xi's family had been robbed by bandits since Su Xi left Beijing. Originally, she was robbed by bandits and taken up the mountain, but fortunately, she met a strong man on the way and rescued her. But when she left, she only had some jewelry on her body. She pawned the jewelry and spent a year frugally, and finally spent all the money. She is now living in poverty and unable to live, but she has no face to go to Beijing. She is afraid of being pointed out, so she lives in a private house outside the city, hoping that Mrs. An Jing can help her out of her grandparents' love.
The most critical address was written on the second page, and now that second page is gone, it must have been taken away by the old lady.
"It's not lost." Su Yan said, and handed the letter to Su Jian to read.
Su Jian's face changed suddenly after reading it, and she immediately asked Mrs. Wang, "Have you asked the concierge, who sent the letter?"
Mrs. Wang looked puzzled: "It said it was a young boy, but I sent someone to look for it, but I couldn't find anyone at all."
Su Jian frowned, looking at the letter paper inside and out, hoping to find some clues, but she obviously did nothing. Puzzled, Su Jian asked Su Yan: "Fifth sister, do you think this letter was sent by bandits? They found out about our family, and then forged this letter to send grandmother Scammed out and wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail some money?"
"Probably not." Su Yan immediately denied Su Jian's idea: "Which bandit would be so stupid as to blackmail our family? Who doesn't know the situation of our family." Well, it must not be a simple person who dares to attack Mrs. An Jing, let alone a bandit.
Mrs. Wang interjected: "Yes, I sent someone to check. When the old lady just left the city, someone saw her carriage, but after five miles, she suddenly disappeared. No one even saw the carriage, but there is no one within a ten-mile radius, so even if you want to hide someone, there is nowhere to hide!"
Su Jian frowned: "What could be going on? You can't say that grandma just disappeared out of thin air, can you?"
Su Yan shook Su Jian's hand: "Don't think about it, what we need to make sure is whether this letter was written by the second sister. If not, it means that someone deliberately induced grandma to go out. , the person doing the work is nothing more than the grandmother’s enemy or someone who wants to make trouble, if this is the case, it’s easy to say, and we can count as a trace. But if it’s written by her... the situation is hard to say. "
Su Xi disappeared for a year without seeing anyone, and this kind of thing happened just now. Anyone who thought about it knew that the situation would not be simple.
And if it was true as what Su Xi said in the letter, Mrs. An Jing would either send money to Su Xi, or she would take Su Xi back to the mansion. But the old lady disappeared just like that, and everyone knew that there must be fraud in this matter.
While talking, Cai Xia came back with a letter, which was a letter written to her by Su Xi before.
Su Yan and Su Jian immediately put the two letters together and compared them carefully, but both of them were puzzled that the letter was really written by Su Xi!
Su Xi... Su Xi.
