Su Nanting returned to the villa only after receiving the news that the emperor had arrived safely at his camp in the next county. He did not disturb anyone and rested first, as he was very sleepy after not sleeping all night.
The whole family slept together until noon. Mrs. Song knew that the children were tired, so she prepared breakfast and then went to notify them one by one to get up.
Seeing Su Nanting sitting at the dining table, Song was surprised. She didn't even know that the Marquis had returned.
"I came back late at night. I didn't want to disturb your rest, so I slept in the study." Su Nanting told Song with a smile, "There's nothing going on at home, so you can rest and recuperate here."
In other words, the old lady is pretending to be sick, so everyone can rest assured.
"The Dongping Marquisate split up. When something happened to Gu Yuanfang, the third branch sent her to a nunnery to fend for herself."
Su Nanting continued, "The old lady loved her so much, I didn't expect her to do such a thing. It's so disappointing."
The Song family, however, believed that it was because Gu Yuanfang had grown up in the care of the old lady. Didn't they know what kind of person the old lady was? By cultivating Gu Yuanfang into a selfish and self-centered person, she would become just another old lady.
Unfortunately, Gu Yuanfang was not as lucky as the old lady. The old lady was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Dongping. Her parents and brothers felt that they owed her, so they arranged everything for her.
Gu Yuanfang had no one but the old lady, but she didn't love her as much as she thought. And the third wife only used her as a link to the Anchang Marquis, hoping to gain benefits from it.
Her current situation was inevitable, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Looking at Su Jinnian and Su Jinyao, these two guys must have helped secretly. The reason for doing this, Song knew.
Firstly, it was for Linlang. That girl had been targeting Linlang for some reason, and she must be a bit crazy. Secondly, he wanted the old lady to be quieter. With one less person plotting against her, she would be more at peace and not cause trouble for everyone.
As for Gu Yuanfang, Song had taught her sincerely before, but over time, she discovered that Gu Yuanfang was not as simple as she seemed, and she approached her deliberately with a purpose.
When Xiao Lisheng fell into the water and was lost, she wanted to take her place, but Song was a mother who loved her daughter very much. In her heart, Xiao Lisheng was unique and could not be replaced by anyone else.
She hinted to Gu Yuanfang, both explicitly and implicitly, that she could love her and teach her, but she would not treat her as a daughter.
Perhaps she couldn't achieve her goal, and the old lady didn't like Gu Yuanfang and Song to be too close, so the relationship between them was not very close and was just superficial.
Later, Gu Yuanfang intentionally or unintentionally got closer to Su Jinrui, which made Song even more disappointed and she became even more indifferent to Gu Yuanfang.
Her current situation is the result of her lack of self-respect and her greed for wealth and fame. The Song family has no sympathy for her at all.
"I'm glad that mother-in-law is okay. Let's sit down and have our meal." Song didn't want to talk about those things anymore. It was upsetting and would ruin her mood for the day.
Su Nanting quickly agreed, "Let's eat, I'm hungry."
The five brothers and sisters, including Amu and Hu Shan, sat down one after another. Now that the matter was resolved, they could sit together and eat with peace of mind.
Hu Shan knew Gu Yuanfang. When she followed her sister to the Anchang Marquis Mansion, she was so arrogant, as if she was already a lady of the Anchang Marquis Mansion.
It turned out that according to her sister, Gu Yuanfang might be married to Su Jinrui as a concubine by the old lady. At that time, she was still young and just thought that Gu Yuanfang was hateful and was competing with her sister for her brother-in-law.
Alas, I never expected it to end like this. I also never expected my sister to end up like this. What a twist of fate.
She secretly glanced at Su Jinrui, and was immediately caught by Su Jinrui. She was so scared that she quickly drank the porridge to block her sight.
Oops, I was caught peeking, I’m so shy.
But her heart was sweet because the man looking at her was the one she liked.
The two exchanged glances throughout the meal, and everyone else was happy to see it happen, except for the twins who choked on their dog food. Ah Mu didn't notice any of this; his heart was completely focused on Linlang, concentrating on serving her breakfast.
After dinner, Su Nanting conveyed the emperor's words to Linlang, "Let's go to the capital after we have arranged everything here. The emperor said he is not afraid, but I guess he won't be able to sleep after returning."
"Then I'll arrange the workshop and go to Beijing with Amu."
It won’t take long to detoxify, and then I’ll come back to spend the New Year with my father and elder brother.
Linlang said, "It's time to go check out the old priest's leg disease. It would kill two birds with one stone."
She is going to the capital city twenty years in advance and is looking forward to it.
Regarding the matter of the thunder bomb, Su Nanting called his children and son-in-law together, "You have done a great job, the emperor praised you very much, keep up the good work. Don't worry, the emperor will definitely find a way to get the funds, he won't get something for nothing."
He can do other things, but he can't do the Thunder Bomb. Just wait and see, he'll find a way to raise the money when he gets back.
Don't worry, brothers and sisters, that thing is too expensive and they really have limited ability.
The meeting ended, and everyone went about their business. Linlang and Amu went to the pharmaceutical workshop. As soon as they arrived in town, they ran into Luhua, "Sir, Madam, Yu Qian's father and his brothers are here, and they're causing trouble."
I knew they would come, but I didn't expect them to come so soon.
Linlang let Luhua catch her breath. "Don't worry, we're right. We're not afraid of them. Get in the car and let's go take a look."
On the way, Luhua explained the situation, "Yu Qian's father said we were kidnapping people, that our workshop was a black-hearted workshop, and that they made Yu Qian work for us for free. He was going to sue us at the government office."
"The mayor and Doctor Wang both came and testified for us, and the workers also explained. Yu Qian was speechless and cried nearby. Doctor Wang said she stayed to get medical treatment, but the Yu family didn't believe it and said we were trying to scam her out of money."
Luhua was furious. "He's adamant. No matter what I say, it's useless. He insists we're lying. He wants to take us away and sue us. He's like a scholar meeting a soldier. He can't explain himself."
"What kind of family affection is this? It's all about money. Exploiting the remaining money."
Linlang said, "Dealing with people like this is simple. We should be simple and rough, go straight to the point, and don't try to reason with them."
Luhua thought it was okay, and Amu asked her to step back and he would take care of everything.
He understood the matter of the remaining money and knew what Linlang meant, so it would be easy to handle.
The carriage stopped at the door of Rong's house. The neighbors who were watching the excitement at the door were standing in three layers. When they saw them coming back, they quickly made way.
A neighbor told Amu that if there was a fight, he should just shout, because the people of Luer Town should not be bullied by outsiders.
After thanking the neighbors, Amu took Linlang into the Rong family and bowed to the mayor and Doctor Wang first. He pretended not to see the three people from the Yu family, father and son, who were standing beside him.
After the father and his wife sat down and took a sip of tea, Ah Mu called Yu Qian over and said, "Miss Yu Qian, you've been living and eating in the workshop for a while, are you used to it?"
Yu Qian nodded and choked up, "Thank you, Master and Madam, for taking me in. I really like the life here."
"Your father and brother are here to pick you up. What do you think? Should you stay or go back with them?"
No matter what, the idea of having spare money is the most important.
