Old Master Long, having somehow learned that Marquis Anping had met Su Nanxi, was quite displeased and didn't even bring him along!

So, fuming and ready to settle scores, she ran to the Marquis of Anping's residence and told the Marquis that he was unkind.

Marquis Anping knew exactly what his father-in-law was angry about. He touched his nose guiltily, realizing he had indeed forgotten!

But he assured everyone it wasn't intentional!

But it's also true that he went there secretly without taking his father-in-law along, so he smiled apologetically and let his father-in-law scold him.

Anyway, he's already seen Xixi, so he feels at ease. Scolding him a few times won't hurt him!

But the old man was stubborn and insisted that Marquis Anping take him to see it too, otherwise he wouldn't leave!

Marquis Anping looked troubled. He wanted to go too, but he had no idea where it was. The place was obviously set up with some kind of illusion, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to find it!

He understood that Xixi needed to rest to avoid being disturbed by others and to prevent being hunted down by malicious people. He agreed with that, saying it was a good thing!

It's just that it's a bit difficult to go see her!

Anyway, he had no choice, because he really didn't know how to contact her or how to get in. He was so eager to see the girl that he didn't care about anything else and didn't pay attention to his surroundings at all!

Otherwise, he would have secretly run off there too!

When the old man gets stubborn, it's quite a headache. If his wife comes over soon, the old man will put on a show, turning black into white, which will be enough to give him a hard time.

Don't let this old man's honest appearance fool you; he actually has quite a few bad intentions!

I used to hide and refuse to come out, but I don't know when it started, I suddenly fell in love with going out and wandering around!

He was worried that the old man might get hurt by mistake. The capital city was full of complicated relationships and constant conflicts. If he wandered around aimlessly, he could easily stumble into someone else's battlefield!

He couldn't stop it, so he could only secretly have someone protect him. But the old man was no pushover; he quickly discovered this and sent his men back immediately.

After that, the old man began to visit the Marquis's residence frequently.

Perhaps it's because I'm getting old, but I've developed some childlike tempers, and when I throw a tantrum, it's really hard to handle!

That's not all; they've even started practicing their acting skills, spouting nonsense without batting an eye!

There's really no other way!

Who would dare to do anything to my father-in-law?

The old man must have found out something, and having no other choice, he had to ask Su Luolin to come again.

If possible, he'll take the opportunity to go along too!

When Su Luolin saw her maternal grandfather arrive, looking quite angry, she roughly knew what had happened.

Before they could speak, he said, "You can go, but you have to wait for news. We can only go after they've made the arrangements; otherwise, I won't be able to get in!"

Having received the answer, the old man felt relieved. He had already waited so long anyway, what difference would a little more time make? It was alright!

With a wave of his hand, he generously said, "I can wait, it doesn't matter how long I have to wait!"

As long as I can see him!

Marquis Anping was also happy, it seemed he could go again.

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it!

The old man returned home happily, and Marquis Anping also went off to get busy.

The entire household seemed to be immersed in happiness and joy. In fact, no one knew what was making them happy. Seeing their masters smiling, they were happy too!

Those of us who are servants only care about how we treat our masters!

If their master is happy, they'll be much better off, because their master likes to give rewards when he's happy!

Moreover, they will be much more lenient with them, and they can be exempted from punishment for minor mistakes.

However, those who were happy did not include Su Mingyue and her daughter in Beiyuan.

The two were having a hard time, trapped in Beiyuan, and were not allowed to go out unless there were special circumstances.

Especially after their attempts to seek help from Master Su failed, the two of them became irritable.

You promised so readily, why do you always go back on your word at the last minute!

The two of them also came to hate Master Su because of this, and they cursed him countless times, both verbally and in their hearts.

"Young lady, isn't it inappropriate for you to insult Second Master Su like that? He's still a member of the Su family, and Father's own brother. If you insult him like that, aren't you including us in the insults? How unlucky! If you're going to insult someone, then insult him alone!"

Su Mingyue cursed a lot, but she wouldn't curse Su Erye's ancestors for eighteen generations, nor would she curse Su Erye's relatives, because that would include herself in the curse. Cursing yourself would be crazy!

So when I heard Luo Xiaoniang scold me like that, I felt uncomfortable and thought it was inappropriate.

Luo Xiaoniang snorted, her face full of disdain, "Who's close to him? How could someone who came from nowhere possibly be of legitimate birth! It's just a case of a substitute!"

Su Mingyue was taken aback, not quite understanding. In her mind, no one had ever questioned the background of Second Master Su, not even the old lady had said anything. That meant there was no problem. How come it seemed like there was a problem in her stepmother's mouth?

"Young lady, you can't say things like that! Although we hate him, this matter is of great importance. If we say something carelessly, it will be difficult to clean up the mess later. Young lady, have you noticed something amiss?"

Luo Xiaoniang was furious and spoke recklessly. But when Su Mingyue asked her a question, she suddenly came to her senses and shook her head repeatedly, "No! I was just angry and talking nonsense! He is so annoying, I resent him, so I cursed him!"

Su Mingyue thought about it and realized that it made sense. People might say the most vicious things when they're angry, so she dismissed her doubts.

Seeing that Su Mingyue was no longer pursuing the matter, Luo Xiaoniang believed her words and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fearing that Su Mingyue would continue to ask questions, he quickly changed the subject.

She knows something, but she can't say it; it's her secret.

She couldn't say it unless absolutely necessary. She had promised someone, and if she went back on her word, that person wouldn't let her off the hook.

Actually, Luo Xiaoniang wasn't without help, but due to the restrictions of her status, she couldn't come and go as she pleased.

Back then, for wealth and a peaceful life, she schemed to enter the Marquis's mansion and willingly became a concubine, giving up her freedom, the chance to be hunted down, and the life of constant wandering. Now, however, she regrets it and longs for freedom!

That's because all the crises have been resolved, her daughter is grown up, and she no longer wants to stay in the grand mansion, living a dull and boring life. She wants to be with the person she loves!

No matter how old she is, her heart is still young, and she also wants to pursue her own love!

Over the years, she has never stopped imagining that her daughter would marry into a wealthy family, providing her with material security so that she could enjoy life to the fullest!

Nothing seems to be going right now, and I'm feeling really frustrated!

She especially wanted to see Geng Yuepeng, but she couldn't find him anywhere, and Geng Yuepeng didn't come looking for her either, which made her extremely anxious and restless!

This was never the case before. The contrast in attitude is too great. They are so indifferent to the mother and daughter!

The promise was made, but nothing has been done yet.

"Young lady, do you have any other ways to find a godfather?"
