A young lady from a wealthy family in Kyoto?

Upon hearing this, Su Hua's eyes darkened slightly. Could the person this old woman Xiao was talking about be Zi Chen's stepmother, Xiao Hongyu's second wife?

Xiao Zhong has maintained contact with this second wife for eighteen years. So, all the mistreatment of Zi Chen by the Xiao family over the years—sending him to the battlefield at the age of eight, severing his ties after he became lame, and even the recent forced marriage into the Gao family—could all have been orchestrated by the second wife?

She only intended to bluff her, but unexpectedly, she stumbled upon such a big piece of news.

Thinking of this, Su Hua turned around and said, "This letter is quite interesting, but I don't trust the Xiao family. What if you go back on your word and refuse to hand over the letter after we find Xiao Jinyan?"

Old Mrs. Xiao's eyes flickered. "How could that be? Hua'er, don't worry. Although I'm old, I always keep my word. How could I go back on my word!"

Time waits for no one, Hua'er, you'd better hurry up and go find Jin Han to look for him, okay?

Xiao Zhong always treasured the woman's letters like the apple of his eye, taking them out to read every now and then. Only this time, when Xiao Zhong's affair with Gao Ruhua was exposed and he was blocked at the door by the people of Gaojiatun, did he have to run away in a hurry and didn't have time to pay attention to those letters.

But she knew how ruthless Xiao Zhong was.

Last time, she only said a few bad things about that woman, and he almost strangled her to death. If Yan'er hadn't appeared at the crucial moment, she would probably be overgrown with weeds by now.

If Xiao Zhong returns and finds the letter missing, he will certainly not let her off the hook.

But Yan'er couldn't be left unsaid. Although she was illiterate, she could still copy letters. Over the past eighteen years, she had copied several letters. When she heard Hui Niang mention these letters, her first reaction was to give the copied letters to Su Hua.

Both left and right are forms of faith, and copied faith is also a form of faith.

Su Hua's gaze never left the other person's face, and she naturally did not miss the flicker in her eyes. She couldn't help but smile and say, "If you really want to save Xiao Jinyan, then take out half of the letter as a deposit. After you successfully rescue him, you can give me the other half."

Of course, if we are unable to rescue the person, your deposit will be fully refunded.

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Xiao immediately tried to bargain, "Hua'er, we're all from the same village, why make such a fuss? What's the point of paying that damn deposit? We're not doing business..."

"If you don't want to, then forget it," Su Hua interrupted coldly.

Immediately, he waved to Qingdai, who was not far away, "Didn't we find a nest of unopened termite mushrooms in the bamboo forest behind the mountain yesterday? We have nothing to do now, so let's dig them up and make a pot of termite mushroom and chicken soup for lunch to try."

Qingdai understood immediately and quickly responded, "Yes, I will go and get the shovel right away."

Seeing the excited looks on the master and servant, Old Lady Xiao finally couldn't hold back any longer. "No! Don't go! I'll listen to you, okay? I'll give you half of the letter first!"

“Alright.” Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Su Hua took over the conversation, looking at Qingdai, “In that case, you can take her to get the letter.”

"Yes," Qingdai replied, clasping her hands in a fist salute.

Immediately, he lifted the woman by the neck, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and swooped down towards the center of the village like a hawk.

In the blink of an eye, it became a tiny black dot in the air.

The Su family members at the courtyard gate stared wide-eyed. They knew that Qingdai and Danfeng were skilled in martial arts, but they hadn't expected their skills to be this good.

At this moment, Old Lady Xiao, who was being held in mid-air, was trembling like a leaf, and she didn't even dare to open her eyes, for fear of being smashed to pieces.

Su Hua withdrew her gaze. "Danfeng, go to Sweet Potato Valley now and tell Yu Yu to come down. She and Qingdai will go to rescue Xiao Jinyan later."

"Yes." Danfeng cupped his hands in response, then paused slightly as he turned. "Miss, what will happen to Sweet Potato Valley after Yu Yu leaves? Would you like me to guard it?"

Upon hearing this, Su Hua waved her hand and said, "It's alright, I'll have Daniu go and keep watch over things later."

Last night, Xiao Jinhan took Yu Feng to the capital overnight. According to the route, they should have arrived at Wuxi Prefecture by now, leaving only Yu Yu in Shanghe Village.

As for the people who arrested Xiao Jinyan, she couldn't guess who they were for the time being; perhaps they were people the Xiao family had offended in the past.

Yu Yu has excellent lightness skills, and with Qingdai's help, they should be able to handle it.

As for the Sweet Potato Valley, it's the backyard of the White Tiger family. Normally, no villagers dare to enter Fuhu Mountain, let alone its interior.

Soon, Yu Yu came down the mountain, and Qing Dai also returned with Old Lady Xiao, carrying a stack of letters in her arms.

Su Hua took the letter, flipped through it briefly, and noticed a faint scent of perfume on the paper. The handwriting was delicate and elegant, in the small regular script often used by young ladies from aristocratic families, and the signature was always "Qu Feiqing".

The girl's eyes flickered slightly, then she stuffed all the letters into her sleeve and looked at the Xiao family mother and daughter-in-law, "Did you see which direction the people who kidnapped Xiao Jinyan went?"

Old Mrs. Xiao's face was deathly pale, her whole body was still trembling, and her lips opened and closed for a long time but she couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, Hui Niang quickly went to Su Hua and gestured with her hands.

Su Hua hadn't learned sign language, and seeing her gestures, she guessed uncertainly, "You mean, you chased after them and saw them leave the village and head north?"

Hui Niang nodded emphatically, then pointed to the stables in the Su family courtyard, making the shape of a house with her hands, and then pointed to the clothes on Su Dalang and Su Erlang.

Su Hua thought for a moment, then pondered, "Their carriage had a dark blue cloth covering its roof?"

Upon hearing this, Hui Niang nodded vigorously, making excited "ah ah ah" sounds.

"Okay, I understand." Su Hua nodded and immediately told Yu Yu and Qing Dai to chase after them to the north.

Shanghe Village is located in the southern part of Qingshui County, which is bordered by Qingshui County and Tangshan Prefecture to the north. It has only been a short while since the Xiao family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrived at the house, so those people should not have gone far.

Old Mrs. Xiao gradually recovered, and watching the two figures disappear into the end of the village, she finally came to her senses, "Didn't we say we asked Xiao Jinhan to help us find Yan'er?"

Su Hua gave a soft "hmm". "He's busy right now, so my maid will help out. As long as he can be saved, that's fine. If he can't, I'll return the letter to you in full."

These light and clever words immediately shut up Old Lady Xiao, preventing her from saying anything more.

Yes, that little girl just now carried her, who weighs nearly 100 pounds, like a rabbit. She looks no less capable than Xiao Jinhan.

I wonder where the Su family got these talented people from?

Thinking of this, the woman was filled with remorse. Since Su Hua had people under her command, why did she bring up the issue of Xiao Jinhan's background? What would happen to those letters when that bastard Xiao Zhong returned?!
