Chapter 94: First Visit to Jiangzhou

Fulai Inn.

Bai Cui was sitting in the lobby with her chin propped up on her head, dozing off little by little.

"Boom boom boom."

The dull sound of fingers tapping on the table startled him and he staggered, and he looked up hurriedly to see who was coming.

Seeing that it was Su Yuan, Bai Cui smiled, stood up from her chair and said in surprise:

"Master, you are finally here. Erlang is waiting in the room and has not yet gone to bed. I will take you there."

After that, he led the way and led Su Yuan to a room on the second floor. He knocked on the door and said in a deep voice:

"Half smoke, open the door."

Banyan opened the wooden door from the inside with a creaky sound. Just as she was about to ask what was going on, she caught a glimpse of Su Yuan behind Bai Cui.

He raised his eyebrows, smiled in his eyes, turned sideways, called the head of the family in a low voice, and led people into the room.

Su Yuan said "hmm" lightly, stepped into the room, and walked to Meng Yunlan who had already discovered her.

She hugged his body and patted him soothingly. Without turning back, she instructed Banyan and Bai Cui behind her:

"Go down and prepare the food and bath water."

The two of them said yes and lowered their heads to retreat.

The other side.

After hearing the door close, Meng Yunlan stepped out of Su Yuan's arms with red eyes, looked her up and down, and said in a worried tone:

"My dear wife, you are finally back safely. Are you injured anywhere?"

Su Yuan took out a handkerchief from his bosom, wiped the tears from his eyes, helped him sit down on the stool, and sighed:

"It's no big deal if you get a little injured. I took care of all those people."

Meng Yunlan's heart tightened when he heard this, and tears welled up in his eyes again. He asked:

"You, you are injured somewhere, please call a doctor to take a look."

Su Yuan looked at Meng Yunlan helplessly, raised his left arm slightly, and refused in a gentle voice:

"No, I've taken care of it on the way back. She'll be fine in ten days or half a month. If you're really worried, I can make some supplements for your wife."

Meng Yunlan nodded, glanced at her arm with concern, frowned, and said worriedly:

"I don't know who these people are today. They killed people in broad daylight. Nearly ten of our drivers and servants died, and another carriage was also damaged at the scene. My wife, should we report it to the police and let them investigate?"

Su Yuan pursed her lips and said lightly:

"No, I have already figured out their identities. The group of people who killed us this time are similar to the ones who hurt me in the Su Mansion last time."

"They are just a bunch of gangsters. Even if the government wants to control them, it's probably powerless. Besides, they are all dead. There's no need to do anything."

As for the bodies of her servants, she cremated them.

There were also things on the other carriage that she put into the space. There was nothing left at the scene except a pile of ashes and blood on the ground. Even if someone went to check, it would be strange if they could figure it out.

After hearing this, Meng Yunlan nodded, poured a cup of herbal tea for Su Yuan and handed it to him. Just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by a sound coming from the door.

He turned his head to look over and raised his voice:

"Come in."

Upon hearing this, the servants and waiters outside the door pushed open the door and came in one after another. One group of people set up the food, while another group carried the bathtub to the inner room to prepare bathing water.

Su Yuan glanced at the food on the table, waved to Bai Cui and Ban Yan, signaling them to go downstairs to eat, then turned to Meng Yunlan and said:

"Let's have some food together, and then go to rest after washing up. We have to travel again tomorrow, and I'm afraid we will have to work hard in the carriage for a few days."

After hearing this, Meng Yunlan subconsciously touched her flat belly with her hand in front of her, and replied with a faint smile:

"good."

——

The next day.

In the early morning, there was a thin mist.

After Su Yuan and his group had breakfast, they took a carriage and left the town inn.

The rest of the journey was smooth and the four people on one horse rode leisurely, and finally arrived in Jiangzhou after four days.

After entering the city, Bai Cui drove the carriage to a house with a plaque of Su Mansion hanging on it.

He jumped down from the front room, walked to the door and pulled the copper ring to click it. After a moment, a thin middle-aged woman who looked smart and capable came out from the door.

She looked at Bai Cui, then glanced at the carriage parked in front of the door, and said with a faint smile:

"My dear, you are the eldest son, ahem, the attendant of the second son."

Bai Cui raised her eyebrows after hearing this, pointed to the carriage behind her, and replied:

"Of course, yes. The people sitting in the carriage are the master and Erlang. You must be the housekeeper Wen that Master Meng mentioned. Hurry up and ask someone to come out and move the luggage and bring our master in."

Butler Wen's eyes lit up, he walked to the front of the carriage with a smile and called "master" in a low voice.

He stood aside and waited for Su Yuan and Meng Yunlan to get off the car, then led the way and brought them to the main courtyard.

Main hall.

Butler Wen looked up at the person above him, took out a stack of papers from his sleeve, bent over and handed it to Su Yuan, saying respectfully:

"Master, this is the servant's indenture that Master Meng asked me to hand over to you. Including me, there are a total of sixty-seven servants in the mansion."

After that, she looked sincere and loyal:

"From now on, we are all servants of the Su family. We are absolutely loyal and will not serve two masters. Please rest assured, Master."

Su Yuan casually glanced at the indenture on the table, slowly picked it up and handed it to Meng Yunlan, smiling faintly:

"You will be in charge of this mansion for the time being. I will go to Huachen Academy to study in the future. You can decide all matters in the mansion on your own."

She took the teacup and took a sip of tea, then turned her head to look at Butler Wen and smiled:

"I will use the people my mother-in-law gave me with confidence. From now on, you will be servants of the Su family, and I will not treat you badly."

"Also, when I'm not in the mansion, Butler Wen will manage the outer courtyard for Erlangjun. If you really can't make up your mind, you can bring it to me."

When Butler Wen saw that Su Yuan accepted the surrender, his worries were immediately swept away, and the smile in his eyes deepened a little bit, and he replied:

"Yes, I will do my best to assist Erlang Jun in the future and will not let the master down."

After hearing this, Su Yuan curled his lips and waved his hand:

"Well, you step back first!"

Butler Wen nodded, replied "yes" in a light tone, then bowed and left.

The top.

Su Yuan stared calmly at Butler Wen's departing back and pursed his lips.

She lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then took out a stack of banknotes from her sleeve and handed them to Meng Yunlan, saying softly:

"I'll leave these three thousand taels of silver with you for the expenses of the mansion. You can't use your own money to support the people in the mansion."

Meng Yunlan looked at Su Yuan in surprise, then looked at the banknote in his hand, nodded and said softly:

"Yeah, okay."

Seeing that he did not refuse, Su Yuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, stood up, stroked his sleeves, and asked:

"You don't have to pack your luggage. It's boring to sit here. Come with me to the study to see if there's anything missing. I'll take you out for a walk in the afternoon so you can buy some things."
