After the rebirth of the wronged soft girl, the devil's crematorium
Chapter 77 Grandfather
Xie Yin pondered, "Don't let him die, he still has some use."
"Yes."
"How's that kid?" Xie Yin asked again.
Cang Yi sighed, "She cries whenever I ask her something. If I had known, I should have asked Madam Su to find out first."
Xie Yin glanced at Cang Yi, who pursed his lips and continued, "The child was very young and didn't speak very clearly. All we know is that she ran away on her own to find Madam Su. On the way, she met a kind person who showed her the way. Later, she saw Madam Zhu's carriage and found an opportunity to hide under it and get in."
Cang Yi scratched his head, feeling that the girl was quite cunning.
"You said the servants of the Zhu family are not idle either, so they wouldn't have noticed it?" Jingzhe asked sharply, "Or did she deliberately come to meet Xie Yin to get information this time?"
Xie Yin's eyes glared, recalling Zhu Muning's visit that day. He had long since discovered Zhu Muning was attending Yunkai Academy disguised as a man, and he knew she was close to Shen Wenqin. Zhu Muning had risked meeting him this time, fearing her secrets would be exposed, so she came to test him. But would she risk her reputation to scheme against him? If Xie Yin had exaggerated the situation, Zhu Muning's reputation in the capital would have been drastically altered. She was the daughter of the Zhu family, set to marry the eldest son of the Wang family. Would the Zhu family take such a risk?
Xie Yin shook his head, "It must be someone else, and that person is someone I haven't noticed on a normal day."
With that, the atmosphere suddenly froze. Someone who even Xie Yin couldn't detect? He'd been able to detect any movement by the Yu and Wang factions in Beijing. But now, was it that they had hidden cards, or was there a third force behind them?
"Do you remember the woman from Qinlou who I asked you to investigate?"
Cang Yi then remembered, "I remember. It can be concluded that she was a spy from the Northern Kingdom." Cang Yi suddenly realized that wasn't that the first time he met Lady Su? He remembered how cold and cruel his young master had been when he first met Su Wan.
"What are you laughing at?" Jingzhe patted Cangyi who was grinning and giggling.
Cang Yi quickly shut up, raised his head, and met Xie Yin's cold gaze. He slapped his own mouth, "Do you suspect they've already got their hands on us?"
Xie Yin changed his posture and leaned against the table, saying, "Continue investigating along that line, and you might find something."
"How are the people following Madam Su?"
"Our men have discovered the archer's whereabouts, but he is very alert. However, we are already giving chase."
Xie Yin nodded, "That's good. Tell them to speed up and report back immediately if they find any progress."
Jingzhe agreed, bewildered. Madam Su's previous intention was to borrow the Young Master's men to resolve the matter themselves. After all, this matter involved the Su family's inner circle, and if the Su family knew about it, it would be detrimental to their cooperation. But the Young Master was clearly keeping a close eye on Madam Su's movements. Could it be that all the Young Master's previous promises were false? Was his goal to disrupt the Su family? Thinking this way, Jingzhe felt more and more that his master was truly mean, actually taking advantage of the young lady. However, this habit suited his temperament, and Jingzhe could only feel pity for Madam Su.
Su Wan, who was pitied by Jingzhe, was now in Su Taifu's garden to keep the old man company and entertain him.
Grand Tutor Su was over seventy years old and his health was failing. Su Wan knew that the days she could accompany her grandfather like this would become fewer and fewer, so she planned to come over often whenever she had time in the future.
At present, the grandfather and grandson are sitting opposite each other, with a chess game that has just been played in the middle.
Master Su stroked his graying beard and nodded, "It seems your chess skills have improved a lot."
Although Su Wan had been influenced by Su Yanci before, she had lost interest in these matters since meeting Zheng Yanchen. Seeing Su Wan return to her former self, perhaps even more stable than before, Grand Tutor Su was deeply relieved. This way, Su Wan wouldn't be left helpless when faced with injustice a hundred years from now.
Su Wan smiled gently, "Wan'er knows that she has neglected a lot of things in the past, so she often studies hard when she has nothing to do, so as to live up to the Su family's teachings."
Taifu Su smiled and said, "You must remember that the important thing is not for you to bring glory to the Su family, but for you to live comfortably at all times. This is what I wish for you."
Su Wan raised her eyes, her gaze blazing. Taifu Su smiled and said, "You lost your mother when you were young. Coming here at fourteen, your life wasn't as comfortable as you'd imagined. I regretted it every day. And when you married into the Zheng family, I regretted even more that I shouldn't have brought you to the capital. I should have allowed you to grow up happily and freely in Peach Blossom Valley." Taifu Su looked at Su Wan with a mixture of shame and guilt. "That way, you wouldn't have had to endure the torture of those beasts, but it's too late now."
As he spoke, the old man's eyes moistened. "Alas, old age is useless, and it's so easy to shed tears. How shameful!"
Su Wan watched the Grand Tutor lower his head and wipe away his tears, and her remorse grew even stronger. She lowered her head to hide her tears.
"Grandfather, don't worry. Wan'er won't be so irrational in the future. I will take good care of myself and live a good life."
Master Su smiled with satisfaction, "That's good, that's good."
For a moment, the atmosphere became a lot more relaxed.
"What are the grandfather and grandson talking about? Why are they crying?" Just as they were feeling moved, Su Si Niang's arrival broke the mood. Taifu Su smiled faintly and wiped his tears with his sleeve, while Su Wan stood up and saluted.
"aunt."
"Sit down now."
Su Si Niang patted Su Wan's shoulder enthusiastically and then came to Su Taifu's side and said, "Last time I came, my father said he wanted to eat the cheese puff pastry I made. I have to make it when I have time."
The old man was overjoyed upon hearing this. He hurriedly helped Su Si Niang to the food table and looked at the dim sum with a smile. It's said that when people get old, what they long for most is to have children around them and a house full of grandchildren. Now, such a life is a good one.
"Wan'er, come quickly and try your aunt's cooking."
Summer cheese is difficult to store. To ensure its freshness, you need to hurry up while the weather is cool. Mix the ingredients together and put them in the pot right away. It's clear that Su Si Niang is really attentive. Su Wan couldn't help but smile at Su Taifu's happy expression. She wished her grandfather could always be this happy.
Su Wan walked over, took a piece from the Taifu, smelled it and put it in her mouth. She also loved cheese, and this snack was indeed delicious as it melted in her mouth.
Su Wan smiled and said, "Aunt's cooking skills are really good."
Su Si Niang's eyes wrinkled with laughter. "If you like it, I'll make some more and ask Yun'er to send it to you someday."
"Thank you for your help, aunt." Su Wan added, "While it's still early, I want to go check on my pharmacy and come back to accompany Grandpa another day."
"Go, be careful on the road and bring more guards with you." Master Su warned.
Su Wan replied "yes" and walked out.
"By the way, what happened to those people who tried to assassinate you?" Master Su suddenly remembered.
Su Wan turned around, glanced at Su Si Niang, and smiled, "Don't worry, Grandfather. My uncle is already investigating. My steward reported yesterday that there are some results. I believe they will be caught soon."
Su Si Niang's eyes paused slightly, and she looked at Su Taifu.
