After the rebirth of the wronged soft girl, the devil's crematorium

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, autumn is gradually coming.

Su Wan hadn't left the house for a while. When she had nothing better to do, she'd mostly stay at Yizhuxuan with Grand Tutor Su, occasionally sending someone to check on little Yuening. Grand Tutor Su's health had improved, too, and he'd occasionally get out of bed and walk around.

On this day, Su Wan was preparing incense in front of the Taifu's window. Taifu Su watched his granddaughter grind sandalwood, blackwood, rhubarb and other spices into powder. He walked to the table, lay over the incense burner and smelled it.

"cough cough"

Because he was too close, he breathed in a lot of dust, which made his eyes red.

"If you're tired, take a break."

"Grandfather, I'm not tired."

The Grand Tutor curled his lips and said, "What's so fun about this thing? Playing chess is more fun."

Su Wan couldn't help laughing when she saw the old man acting like a child. "But this incense can help you calm your mind. Once I make it, I can concentrate on playing chess."

Master Su sat aside, waiting with his chin supported by one hand, yawning from time to time.

Su Yanshu, who was outside the door, saw that the grandfather and grandson were chatting happily, and his expression, which had been gloomy just now, gradually softened.

"Second uncle, you're back?"

Su Yanshu walked into the house and smiled palely, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's nothing. It's also my responsibility as a junior to take care of my grandfather."

Su Yanshu smiled faintly, feeling that something was different about Su Wan. "The color of your birthmark doesn't seem to be as dark anymore."

Su Wan reacted and thought of an excuse, "Not long ago, Liu Yan followed the steward to buy herbs and met a doctor. I heard that her medical skills were excellent, so Liu Shang asked her for a prescription. I tried applying it for a few days, and now it seems to be working."

"They say there are many strange things in the world. I hope your wish comes true."

Su Wan nodded and smiled, and both uncle and nephew were happy about this. But there was something strange in Su Taifu's eyes. He wanted to say something, but seeing Su Wan's happy face, he swallowed his words.

"Go and rest first. I'll talk to your grandfather. By the way, I heard that the Empress Dowager will be holding a chrysanthemum viewing banquet soon. All the young people from the noble families in the capital will be there. You should make preparations early and go with your aunt to relax."

Su Wan: "Me? Otherwise, I won't go. Firstly, I'll stay home with my grandfather, and secondly, it would be embarrassing for me to go given my status."

"What are you afraid of?" Before Su Wan could finish her words, Grand Tutor Su spoke up. "You haven't done anything against the will of heaven, so why do you care about their opinions? Go out and relax instead of staying at home. Why are you always accompanying an old man like me who is half buried in the grave?"

Su Wan pursed her lips and agreed hastily.

Back in the courtyard, Su Wan sat by the window, thinking about the Queen Mother's banquet. Not long ago, Princess Liuli had been trying to find out about her in various ways, and she was afraid that if she went, she would not gain any benefits.

"My lady, tomorrow is the day Jiang Lin will be beheaded."

Su Wan looked at the yellowing leaves outside and said, "Yeah, hasn't Father written yet?"

Liu Shang shook his head. "Steward Liu said there's no news yet. Oh, and Steward Liu said they've already found the courtyard you asked me to look for. I heard it's not far from Chief Xie's courtyard."

Su Wan nodded. Now that Yuening had settled down, she wanted to raise the child. How could the men alone take care of the child? Her behavior would inevitably bring rumors to the Su family. So she paid for a courtyard and took Yuening there to be cared for by her own people. This courtyard was not far from Xie Yin's small courtyard, so it was safer.

The next day, Su Wan took Mi Li out to see the house. It took about half an hour to walk from Su's house to the house.

This courtyard is located in a secluded place on the outskirts of Beijing. When Su Wan entered, she saw a small courtyard with two entrances. It had no gorgeous decorations but had a simple beauty.

"Manager Liu said this was a brother he met while doing business, and that he was also very reliable."

Su Wan nodded. "That's right. Let's scatter some seeds along the wall next spring. When the flowers bloom, the yard will be more lively. I wonder if Yue Ning will like it."

"She will like wherever you are." A cold voice suddenly came, causing the master and servant's hearts to tremble. Su Wan turned around and saw Xie Yin looking at her calmly.

The two maids bowed their heads and retreated, but Xie Yin's eyes never left Su Wan. After everyone left, he stepped forward and explained, "I was afraid knocking would attract attention, so I walked along the wall."

It would have been fine if he didn't explain. This explanation made Su Wan a little embarrassed. "It's okay. If Chief Xie leaves, I won't be used to it."

Xie Yin frowned, thinking that this was not a nice thing to say.

"What do you think of this yard?"

Xie Yin nodded, "The location is good, and the environment is also good."

"I want someone to pack up and bring Yuening over in two days. Mammy has made all the arrangements. They are all elderly people who once followed my mother, so they will definitely be very attentive in taking care of people."

"I'm not worried about that. You're very careful in your work. But can I come?"

"what?"

"I mean, can I come and see Yuening?" Xie Yin slowly raised his eyelids, his eyes showing nervousness.

"Of course, Yuening is also very dependent on you. If I shut you out, Yuening might not recognize me. Thank you, Chief Secretary, you can come whenever you want."

The corners of Xie Yin's mouth curved into a big arc, expressing gratitude to Yuening.

"I checked and found that Baicaotang is in Panyang County. It's not far away, and a day's walk is enough for the round trip."

Su Wan raised her hand and touched her birthmark again, "Thank you very much, Chief."

"Don't be afraid, that old Taoist priest wouldn't dare to lie to you."

Su Wan was a little puzzled, "Could it be that you have something on him?"

Xie Yin raised the corner of his mouth, "Don't you know my ability yet? The day after tomorrow, I will go with you."

"No need." Su Wan answered without thinking: "I mean, Chief Xie is busy with government affairs, so I won't bother you with this little matter."

Xie Yin smiled, crossed his arms and said, "Madam Su, are you going to cross the river and destroy the bridge again? I also want to detoxify myself."

Seeing Xie Yin's teasing look, Su Wan felt embarrassed for a moment, then asked Xie Yin to sit under the pavilion.

"Have you told the elders in your family?" Xie Yin asked casually.

"I have written to my father, but he hasn't replied yet."

Xie Yin knew that Su Wan had misunderstood him, so he smiled and said, "What about the others, like your grandfather and uncle?"

Su Wan frowned, "What exactly does Chief Xie want to ask?"

"Nothing, just curious."

Was it just curiosity? Su Wan felt that there must be something strange about Xie Yin.

Meeting Su Wan's scrutinizing gaze, Xie Yin himself became a little nervous and quickly changed the subject, "Has that Madam Fang come to see you recently?"

"No, she seems to be waiting for me to find her, but I think she is just looking for revenge."

Manager Liu had sent people to inquire about her in her hometown of Jingzhou. She had only a mother with eye problems in Guiyang County. This man was a skilled businessman, well-traveled, and quite astute. Su Wan felt that since Liu Wei was so favored now that even Xie Yin couldn't easily touch him, it would be better to try a different approach.

"It's just that she has a bit of a stubborn temper. I'm afraid sometimes we won't be able to talk to each other."

Xie Yin's lips curled up slightly, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, she likes someone as gentle and considerate as you. What she hates are those playboys who are clingy and frivolous."

Su Wan saw Xie Yin's sinister smile and always felt that he had done something.
