Also unhappy was the old lady of the Anchang Marquis' Mansion. Upon hearing the news, she smashed a teacup in anger.
"That's great, that's great!" The old lady was so angry that her chest felt like it was stuffed with cotton. "They've grown up and can call the shots. They don't even take an old woman like me seriously anymore."
"It's such a big thing, and they decided on their own without even saying a word."
The old lady stood up and said, "Madam Wu, pack your things. Since this house can't accommodate me, I'm leaving."
Nanny Wu quickly advised, "Old Madam, we still don't know the situation. The Marquis must have his reasons for making such a sudden decision. How about this, we wait for the Marquis to come back and find out the reason. It won't be too late for us to leave then."
Nanny Wu knew that the old lady was not really leaving. Where could she go? Her relationship with her family was not good. She was just angry and said those words out of anger.
She continued to persuade him, "Besides, the imperial edict was issued by the emperor. How much power does the marquis have to stop the emperor? Besides, the emperor's edict to confer the title also shows that he values the marquis. If you leave the palace in anger and the news gets out, wouldn't it show that you are dissatisfied with the emperor? Then..."
Anyone who dared to be dissatisfied with the emperor would be asking for trouble, but the old lady didn't dare to do that. In addition, she had made a few mistakes before, and the emperor had a bad impression of her, so she didn't dare to act rashly.
Fortunately, the old lady listened to the advice now. She said reluctantly, "Okay, let's see what the Marquis says when he comes back."
It can be considered as going down the stairs.
Not long after, someone outside reported, "The Marquis is back."
Hearing the sound of the curtain being opened, the old lady snorted coldly and pretended not to see Su Nanting coming in.
Knowing that his mother was angry, Su Nanting bowed respectfully and said, "Your son greets you, mother."
The old lady turned her face away, snorted coldly, and ignored him.
Su Nanting laughed and came to the old lady, sitting on the footboard under the Luohan bed. "Mother is unhappy. If anyone offends you, tell your son and I will deal with him."
The old lady still didn't speak and didn't look at Su Nanting.
Su Nanting smiled and said, "If mother is unhappy, then the son should tell her something happy to cheer her up."
"Linlang has been in the capital for a while now, but she has been busy and hasn't returned to the Marquis' Mansion. I didn't mention it to you because it concerns the Emperor, so I can't mention it. I have to keep a low profile."
The old lady then turned around and said, "Thank you for saving my life..."
"This concerns the Emperor, so I can't tell you." Su Nanting made a gesture to keep quiet. "The Emperor suddenly left his son behind today and was going to make him a princess, but he was so scared that he quickly knelt down. I, the princess, don't dare to do that."
"Then the emperor thought it was indeed a bit inappropriate, so he changed the title to County Princess."
"I'll be back to tell you right after I finish my work, just in case you get the wrong idea."
Seeing that the old lady's expression had eased a little, Su Nanting continued, "Linlang has brought honor to our mansion. Don't you think this is a happy thing?"
"From now on, when you go out, you'll have some dignity, right? Our Linlang is the Emperor's benefactor, no one can compare to her. But don't talk about it all the time, just understand it in your heart."
The old lady thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. She still looked unhappy and said, "Since you have found your daughter and have come to the capital, you should bring her to see me."
"Why, are you afraid that an old woman like me will bully your precious daughter?"
The old lady pushed Su Nanting away from her feet and said, "Or is it that an old woman like me is dispensable and there is no place for me in this mansion anymore?"
Su Nanting deliberately let the old lady push him and stumble, then said aggrievedly, "Didn't I explain before that Linlang came to the capital for important matters and couldn't make a high-profile appearance? You really wronged me."
The old lady refused to agree. "Then what happened later? Why didn't you bring her back to see me? Or is it that the girl is jealous of me and doesn't want to acknowledge me as her grandmother?"
"No, Linlang has wanted to see you for a long time, but things have been putting it off until now. She is pregnant and has been pregnant for more than four months."
Su Nanting said happily, "I'm pregnant with a grandson. I'm going to be a grandfather."
"You have a child?"
"Yes, the emperor sympathized with her heavy body and allowed her to stand while listening to his orders." Su Nanting felt proud of it.
The emperor didn't allow her to kneel, so who would dare to embarrass her?
Su Nanting stood up with a smile, "Mother wants to see Linlang, so I will bring her back soon."
"Who wants to see her?" The old lady said coldly, "She is in cahoots with the Song family, and it will only make me angry.
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is too difficult to reconcile. Su Nanting has tried his best. "How can it be possible? Our Linlang is the most sensible. You will definitely like her when you meet her. You can't do enough to love her."
"Then meet her, and don't say that I, your grandmother, am ignorant."
“You’re the best grandmother.”
Su Nanting saluted and said, "Then I will withdraw and go to meet Linlang and the others."
The old lady waved her hand indifferently, and waited until Su Nanting left the yard before waving for Aunt Wu to come over. "It's a good thing I listened to your advice and didn't go out, otherwise people would definitely say that I can't tolerate my granddaughter."
"It's the old lady who is sensible. Miss Sun is lucky to have such a good grandmother like you."
Nanny Wu said, "Madam, Miss Sun is coming back home, so should we get ready?"
The old lady nodded and said, "Get ready. You must have suffered a lot in the past few years. What good can there be in the countryside?"
"Yes, then I'll make the arrangements."
The old lady held onto Nanny Wu and said, "Tell me, she really doesn't hate me, does she? She almost ruined her husband's future, and she even asked you to say so many unpleasant things."
The old lady was worried, "Don't bring someone back who will go against me every day and make me angry."
Nanny Wu consoled her, "From what people are saying outside, our Miss Sun is a capable and generous person."
"The old lady and Miss Sun are grandparents and have blood ties. It was all a misunderstanding before. The Marquis must have explained it, and it's all in the past."
The old lady nodded and asked Madam Wu to get busy.
Before leaving, Su Nanting had asked the housekeeper to make preparations to welcome the young lady home in a grand manner.
After making arrangements at the Marquis' Mansion and comforting his old mother, Su Nanting rode to the Rong family on horseback. The three brothers Su Jinrui had already arrived.
"Father, thank you for planning this for me. I don't know how to repay you."
Linlang bowed deeply to Su Nanting, but he supported her and said, "You are heavy, so please don't bother with these formalities."
"Gu Yuanfang is not a generous person. Now that he has Princess Huasheng as his backer, he will definitely not stop. I am just making preparations for a rainy day."
Su Nanting said, "It's only right to ask for an imperial decree for your daughter. Besides, the emperor knows Linlang's contribution. You are worthy of it, not to mention the county lady, but the princess."
"But, as a father, I can't bear to part with my daughter who has finally come here on tour."
Linlang shed tears. She thought that having parents and brothers who loved her so much in this life was a blessing that she had accumulated over several lifetimes of virtue.
Song was crying beside her. Su Nanting held Song's hand with one hand and Linlang with the other, "Get ready, let's take Linlang home."
