It just so happened that Yan Shu also wanted to talk to Madam Su alone, so after telling Mr. Cui about it, he followed Madam Su out of the main hall.

The two of them chatted as they walked, with Mrs. Su mostly asking about her likes and interests, and Yan Shu answered obediently.

Arriving at Madam Su's courtyard, Yan Shu looked around and then held Madam Su's hand: "Grandma, I have something to say to you alone."

Madam Su looked at Yan Shu with some surprise. Today was the first time they met, and she was curious about what this girl wanted to talk to her about.

After hesitating for a moment, Madam Su sent out the maids and servants who followed her. After closing the door, Madam Su took Yan Shu to the mahogany round table in the room and sat down.

"Ran Er, is there anything you want to say to your great aunt?"

Yan Shu took out the letter he had prepared in advance and handed it to Mrs. Su with both hands.

"You will understand after reading this letter."

Madam Su looked at Yan Shu with a puzzled look on her face, and then her gaze slowly fell on the envelope in front of her. When she saw the four big words "Dear Mother" on the envelope, her pupils suddenly shrank.

She took a deep breath, took the letter in disbelief, and stared at the four words on the letter carefully.

She was so familiar with this font, how could it be...

Mrs. Su tore open the envelope with trembling fingers, took out the letter inside and slowly opened it. The moment she saw the content of the letter, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

Her hands, which were holding the letter tightly, were shaking violently, and in the end her whole body was trembling. She stared at the contents of the letter carefully, reading it again and again, as if trying to confirm that this was not a dream.

The tears dripped onto the letter paper, staining it and several words became blurred in an instant. Mrs. Su felt very distressed and quickly took out her handkerchief to wipe them gently.

"Ran'er, how did you get this letter?"

Yan Shu said, "It's a long story. Sister Wan and I met in Xinyang Prefecture. She fell into the water accidentally when she was five years old and became retarded for many years. Fortunately, Master Pei, Madam Pei, and Sister Wan's brother and sister-in-law all loved her very much. She was well taken care of in the Pei Mansion for the past ten years. Two years ago, she fell into the water again and was rescued. She suddenly returned to normal, but she only had some vague memories in her mind at that time. So I helped her find the man in the dream, and finally found that the person we were looking for was actually the Marquis of Yongding..."

Mrs. Su listened to Yan Shu's story with a shocked look on her face. It was hard to believe such a bizarre thing at first, but looking at the letter in her hand, she had personally taught her daughter, so she would not make a mistake in the calligraphy, as it was indeed written by Wanwan.

Recalling that Yongding Hou sent a letter back to Beijing when he got married, she, as the former mother-in-law, had mixed feelings. On the one hand, she was relieved that Liu Bin had found a good match. He had remained faithful to Wanwan for nearly 20 years. How many men in the world could do that? Life was short, and he had done well enough.

On the other hand, she felt sorry for her daughter who was so unlucky. She gave birth to two sons for the man she loved, but the sons died in childbirth. Now, another woman is enjoying this blessing instead. How different things are!

Now that I think about it, Liu Bin was so in love with Wanwan that he never thought about remarrying when he was young, but suddenly married a woman much younger than him when he was middle-aged. This is really unlike his personality.

Seeing Madam Su staring at the letter for a long time without saying anything, Yan Shu said softly, "It is indeed hard to believe such bizarre things. Sister Wan said that after the capital is stable, she will come to the capital to meet you two in person."

Madam Su showed a relieved smile in her eyes: "As long as she is doing well, I will be relieved. The capital is not peaceful now. It is inconvenient for them to come to the capital due to their special status. I will be very happy as long as we can exchange a few letters from time to time."

"I have another piece of good news to tell you. Sister Wan is pregnant. It is estimated that she is more than five months pregnant now."

Mrs. Su excitedly grabbed Yan Shu's hand, her face full of joy.

"Really? How is she doing?"

"You don't have to worry. Sister Wan and the baby in her belly were fine before I came. The Marquis has paid extra attention this time. The two best doctors and several experienced midwives in Xinyang Prefecture have been taken into the Marquis's mansion early. If you want, you can communicate with Sister Wan through letters."

Mrs. Su nodded, and then thought of something.

She patted Yan Shu's hand gently: "Wait a moment, Ran'er."

After she finished speaking, Mrs. Su stood up and walked to the desk, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink and started writing quickly on the white paper. After about two cups of tea, Mrs. Su carefully folded the written letter and put it in the envelope, then stood up and walked to Yan Shu.

"The situation in the capital is chaotic now, and all forces are eyeing the Su Mansion. It is not easy for me to send a letter to Wan'er in my own name, so I'll trouble Ran'er to help me send the letter out of the capital."

Yan Shu stretched out his hands and took the letter: "Don't worry, great aunt, I will definitely fulfill my mission. Oh, and here's something for you."

She took out the jade pendant that Su Wan had given her. Seeing her daughter's personal item, Mrs. Su's eyes filled with tears again. She carefully reached out to take it and stared at it carefully.

"It's Wanwan's personal jade pendant. I remember she drew the lot herself when she was about to have a full week."

"Sister Wan gave you the jade pendant because she wanted you to know that she is living a good life now."

"Well, I look forward to the day when I can meet her soon."

Outside the door, a maid who served Madam Su walked in.

"Madam, the ladies of each room and several girls are here. Concubine Su happened to be back home today."

Yan Shu raised his eyebrows. It was really a narrow road for enemies to meet. Just as she came to Su Mansion, Yan Yao came back right after her. What a damn fate!

Madam Su wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief and carefully put away the jade pendant.

"Please ask them to go to the front hall."

"Yes!"

Madam Su turned around and took Yan Shu's hand: "Come on, I'll take you to meet your sisters."

Yan Shu obediently helped Madam Su into the front hall. There were already many women sitting on both sides of the room. They were all dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, in bright and colorful clothes, like blooming flowers.

When Old Madam Su walked in, everyone in the room stood up at once.

"I met my mother."

"Greetings to grandma."

Yan Shu took the opportunity to take a quick look. The three women in the lead were in their thirties or forties. They should be the principal wives of the three masters of the Su family. Behind them stood five young girls. Among them, the woman in a purple silk skirt and with pearl and jade hairpins on her head was the most eye-catching. She was Su Qingqing who came back today.

Su Qingqing also saw Yan Shu at this moment, and a flash of surprise flashed across her eyes.

How could Yan Shu, this bitch, appear in the Su Mansion? Why was she still staying with the old lady?
