Traveling through time and space

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't know this and made you suffer for so many years. It's my father's fault, it's my father's fault." He stepped forward and forcibly embraced Su Yuanyuan in his arms. "Do you hate your biological father now that he's still alive?"

"Of course I hate you. You couldn't give my mother a good marriage. You already had a wife and a child, but you were still in love with my mother. You also had me, but you couldn't take good care of her. You caused her death in vain. You couldn't take good care of your child, and made me suffer for so many years in this world."

"Don't worry, I have avenged her. I have been looking for you all these years, but I didn't know she was gone. She must be regretting falling in love with me." Su Yuanyuan did not struggle anymore and let him hold her.

"She doesn't hate you, and she doesn't regret it. One day she entered Yuanyuan's dream. She said that she didn't regret falling in love with you, but this life was too short. If there is an afterlife, she would like to fall in love with you again, but she wants your life, and she wants to stand in front of people openly, and doesn't want to be sneaky anymore. In the dream, mother also said, let me hate you, because you are my father. She also said that Yuanyuan's name was given by you. You said that life should be complete, and you hope that our family of three can be complete, and you hope that our lives will be complete. You also said that no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, we will call it Yuanyuan." Maybe it was really the nature of father and daughter. Su Yuanyuan hugged him unconsciously.

"But she has never appeared in my dreams in all these years. She still hates me."

"No, mother doesn't hate you, otherwise she wouldn't have named me Yuanyuan."

"Next time you dream about her, tell me, let her into my dream. I miss her so much. I have already dealt with those who hurt her back then."

"Okay, now mother will feel relieved. Please sit down and talk." Su Yuanyuan let go of her hand.

"Come back to your father. He will take good care of you."

"Stop, Yuanyuan is living a good life now. It's good for her to live such a peaceful life with her grandmother and take care of the Su family. Don't make any changes." Su Yuanyuan refused.

"But I am your biological father. It is only right for you to recognize your ancestors. You are a princess."

Su Yuanyuan shook her head. "Grandma only has me as her child. Now that I'm gone, those ungrateful people in the Cai family aren't sincere to her. Yuanyuan should take good care of her. Yuanyuan has already agreed to support the Su family. Secondly, Yuanyuan likes her current life. It's a world of difference from the past. I'm very content. Grandma only has Yuanyuan as her granddaughter, but you have many other children."

"But you are also the only child between me and the woman I love most, Yuanyuan, won't you call me father?"

"Probably not for the time being. Yuanyuan still can't get over that hurdle in her heart. In the dream, I only promised mother that I would not hate you, but I didn't promise mother to forgive you or recognize you. I am living a good life now, please don't worry."

"You look so much like your mother."

"Yes, luckily I look a lot like my mother, otherwise Yuanyuan would be fighting with someone somewhere."

"Tell my father where you are, and I will kill all those who have bullied you over the years to avenge you."

"No need. When Yuanyuan has this ability one day, he will seek revenge himself. That will be fun."

"Did your mother leave anything behind? Is there anyone else who knows your identity?"

"After Grandmother rescued Yuanyuan, she went to the house where Yuanyuan grew up and found some things nearby," Su Yuanyuan said, pulling out the jade cicada and the letter. "It was because of this that Big Brother Cai and Grandmother dared to think of you. And then there's Mother's jade bracelet." Su Yuanyuan showed him the bracelet and wiped away her tears. "Alright, Your Majesty, you've met Yuanyuan, and Yuanyuan has also met the father she imagined. Yuanyuan is going back."

"Yuanyuan, you really don't want to follow Father..."

"Your Majesty, how will you introduce Yuanyuan's identity to the world? An illegitimate child born to a concubine? Or something else? Yuanyuan doesn't need such an identity. Now Yuanyuan is Miss Su, and she does a great job. Yuanyuan will never let anyone criticize her mother."

"Don't worry, father will give you an identity. Father is worried about you being outside, so can you put a few people around you to protect you?" Su Yuanyuan looked at his anxious look and nodded in agreement, which also fulfilled his father's heart.

"Yuanyuan is afraid that grandma will be sad. Yuanyuan is grandma's pillar of support. Yuanyuan promised mother that she would take good care of grandma. As for whether to acknowledge that identity or not, it really doesn't matter to Yuanyuan. As long as she lives a good life, that's all. No matter what, Yuanyuan is your daughter, there is no doubt about that."

"Okay, okay, okay, Yuanyuan, you have to be fine. Father will always protect you. Shen Jiatian, come in and talk," the man shouted outside.

"Your Majesty, I'm here." The person standing outside the door responded and came in.

"Shen Jiatian, from now on, if the Su family of the Marquis of Xiaoyong sends any message to the palace, you must immediately tell me that this is my daughter, the daughter I have been looking for for many years, but she cannot come to my side to take care of me."

"Your Majesty, it's okay. As long as we are all well, don't worry. If Yuanyuan has any problems, she will go to the palace to see Eunuch Shen."

"I have seen..."

"Eunuch Shen, just call her Miss Su. Your Majesty, Yuanyuan promises you that if Yuanyuan encounters any difficulties, she will go to the palace gate and ask for Eunuch Shen to help her, because you are her only blood relative in this world."

"Okay, you're at your grandmother's place. You must take good care of yourself. Father will visit you when he's free."

"Thank you. Please ask someone to take Yuanyuan back."

"Okay, Eunuch Shen, have someone send her back to the Su Mansion. Yuanyuan, can father send a few people to protect you?" Su Yuanyuan stopped as she was about to walk out.

"Okay, you can rest assured that they will protect Yuanyuan's safety."

"Father will immediately select someone and send him to you."

"Okay, it should be past midnight now, Yuanyuan needs to go back."

"Okay, Father, have Eunuch Shen arrange and select some people."

"Thank you." Su Yuanyuan thought for a moment, then turned around and hugged the man in front of her, her father.

"Miss, if you have something to say, please have someone deliver a message to me."

"Thank you, Eunuch Shen. If there is anything, I will definitely ask someone to tell Eunuch Shen." She stopped after walking out of the courtyard under the light he held up and got on the carriage. The carriage drove very fast, and then she was carried like a sack. Forget it, don't care, it doesn't matter who you love. She simply closed her eyes. When she reacted, she was already standing in her own courtyard. The man bowed deeply to her and disappeared into the night. Su Yuanyuan shook her head, pushed the door open and entered the house. Seeing someone lying on the ground, she went straight into the inner room and got on the bed.

"What's going on? I was clearly sleeping on the couch last night, how come I'm on the floor?"

"Keep your voice down and don't wake the young lady up." Zhirong scolded.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Su Yuanyuan asked.

"Miss, it's okay, you can get up." Zhirong, Zhilin, and Zhiju entered the room. "It was Zhilin who was on duty last night, but she didn't expect that she would find out that I was sleeping on the floor just now."

"I didn't hear any noise last night, but you fell to the ground in your dream?" Su Yuanyuan asked seriously, "Did you break anything?"

"Thank you for your concern, Miss. I don't dream much when I sleep, and I don't feel any pain anywhere. I will be more careful next time." Zhilin had a very strange expression.

"Okay, be more careful next time. Has grandma gotten up yet?" Su Yuanyuan got up and went to her grandmother's side, only to find that her grandmother had also gotten up. When she saw Su Yuanyuan come in, she ordered breakfast to be served.

"Grandma, let's go out for a walk together today."

"Grandma is old, you should take the others out to play by yourself."

"Grandma, Yuanyuan wants you to accompany us. Let's go shopping, eat delicious food, and have fun. Come on, grandma. Yuanyuan will be responsible for all the expenses today. In a few days, Yuanyuan will earn money, and Yuanyuan will use the money he earns to buy delicious food for grandma."

"Well, you are such a filial child. Grandma doesn't like to go out for a walk. Look, there is no old lady wandering around the street."

"Grandma, go out and play with Yuanyuan. The storytelling we heard the day before yesterday was really good. Come and have a look too."

"Miss, I have asked the human traffickers to come to the mansion today to send away those who should be sent away, and then select some to stay and work." Mother Yang said.

"Tell them to bring people over tomorrow, and bring more good ones. The mansion needs to select them carefully. Mother Yang, if you have something to do in the future, please tell me at dinner the day before. I will arrange a time so as not to delay what I want to do the next day."

"Yes, Miss, I understand. Then send those who need to be sent away today and have them bring the people here tomorrow?"

"Okay, let's arrange it this way, Grandmother. Do you know Aunt Ji? Is she trustworthy? Yuanyuan wants to use the same care she had in the palace to manage the servants in the mansion."

Grandmother shook her head. "All I know is that Nanny Ji also grew up with that guy. I also know that she never got married and stayed with him the whole time."

"She's quite affectionate and righteous. Let's put her in charge of the servants first and see how it goes. If that doesn't work out, send her directly to the farm. Madam Yang, Madam Liu, you spend more time in the mansion, so keep an eye on her. If anything goes wrong, deal with it immediately. Other people's loyal servants may not be loyal to us, so we shouldn't force her to take her in. How's Madam Wu who came back yesterday? Grandmother, after we select the servants tomorrow, can we finalize the positions in the mansion?"

"Okay, you decide. From now on, our Su Mansion will be a normal family. We have a housekeeper, an accountant, a kitchen manager, a cook and handymen, guards, gatekeepers, maids and servants who sweep the yard, carpenters and masons who are responsible for house repairs, maids who do the rough work in the master's yard, personal maids, servants who do the work, people who are responsible for serving tea and water, and a gardener who is responsible for taking care of the garden."

"Grandma, Yuanyuan wants to build a large study in Biming Garden and a small study in his own Shanhe Hall."

Grandmother nodded. "Do you want me to hire a female teacher for you?" she asked.

"No, it's enough to have grandma and a few mothers to teach Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan doesn't want to find a rigid teacher to stay by her side."

"You don't look like a lady from a noble family at all," the grandmother scolded with a smile.

"Grandma, please take Yuanyuan out for a walk." After they had finished their meal, Su Yuanyuan continued to act coquettishly.

"Madam, let's go out for a walk together. It's rare to see such filial piety from the young lady." Mother Yang looked at Su Yuanyuan and helped.

"Madam, Miss." Mrs. Yan came into the room.

"Do you old ladies want to go out and have a look too?" Grandma asked the three old women present.

"Yes, old lady, we haven't been out on the street for a long time, haven't we, Mrs. Yan?"

"Yes, Grandma, let's go out for a walk together."

"Okay, grandma will take you to buy some rouge and powder for girls, little things that little girls love."

"Grandma, doesn't Yuanyuan look good like this? She's naturally beautiful, but why bother putting so much effort into applying layer after layer of makeup to her face? It's so tiring."

"No, finding a female tutor or buying rouge and powder, your choice is the same," asked the grandmother with a smile.

"Then I'll choose to buy rouge and powder. However, Yuanyuan wants the best for her face. Grandma, will you pay for it?"

"Madam, isn't the shop in Yuchun Lane in the mansion a rouge shop? Would it be okay for us to go there?" asked Mother Liu.

"No, if we're going to buy something, we'll buy the best. Let's go to Chun Tan Yan."

"Grandma, what is Chuntanyan?" Su Yuanyuan asked curiously.

"Miss, Chun Tan Yan is a very good jewelry shop. I heard that it is used by the ladies in the palace. The items inside are top-notch. The cheapest ones are fifty taels of silver per set." Mother Yan came into the house and nodded at Su Yuanyuan with a smile. It seemed that things were going very smoothly.

"Then grandma, Yuanyuan will follow you today." Su Yuanyuan went forward and hugged her grandmother and acted coquettishly. Not long after they went out, they arrived at Yueque Street. Su Yuanyuan wanted to get off the car, but her grandmother said not to get off yet and to go to Kuqin Street. Her grandmother explained that the things on this street were the best. Chun Tanyan was on this street, and the best jewelry Miaoyufang was also on this street.

"Yuanyuan, choose what you like and your grandmother will save it for your dowry." Everyone arrived at Kuqin Street. It was really lively here. Cai Yuanyuan and a few little girls were having fun playing together. Everything they saw was curious. Among the people coming and going, Su Yuanyuan was always being held back because she was running around everywhere she saw. "How can this be the behavior of a young lady?" Hearing this voice, Su Yuanyuan remembered that she had been too presumptuous. But this was not the place. This was an era that required women to be dignified. She quickly restrained herself, but when she saw a familiar business, making sugar figures, she became interested again.

"Miss, do you want this?" Mother Yan followed Su Yuanyuan closely and stopped when she saw her stop.

"Yes, I want to eat this candy." The malt sugar next to it aroused Su Yuanyuan's curiosity, and she really wanted to eat it.

"Brother, give our young lady a piece of candy." Mother Yan took out some change.

"Auntie, these are the only ones I sell." The vendor pointed to the several shapes stuck on the straw.

Su Yuanyuan didn't want to use it because these things were made by him directly with his hands without the help of any tools, and he felt that they were not very clean.

"You have to be flexible in business. If you sell this for a few copper coins, you can sell the same amount to us."

"Miss, this is fine, but there's nothing to put it in." The young man stood up and looked around.

"Zhilin, go to the store and buy a few pairs of chopsticks for eating." Lu Yuanyuan used to like eating this very much. It was not possible to just find a wooden stick, so she simply used chopsticks split in half as a substitute.

"Miss," knowing that Lin would return soon, but she only bought one pair, how could this child be so stingy.
