Su Nanting had a firm grip on the old lady. Did she dare to question him? No, she couldn't even see the emperor. She dared not let Su Nanting go to Guliang County and not prepare generous gifts. She didn't dare.
We must prepare generous gifts as Su Nanting said and not be negligent.
Su Jinnian gave a thumbs-up. "Father, that's a great move. Grandmother doesn't dare to say a word in rebuttal."
The grandmother loves herself the most and is selfish. Alas, the three brothers sympathize with their father very much for having such a mother.
This time, the mistake my grandmother made was so serious that my father decided to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, it would have been a lot of trouble to go to Guliang County to pick up my mother.
Su Nanting expressed his helplessness, "Your grandmother has always been strong, and your grandfather could tolerate it, so why can't I, as a son, tolerate it? I should just turn a blind eye and let it go."
"This time is different. Your grandmother is old and has made a serious mistake by listening to slander. We need to let her know the stakes and make her think twice before doing anything."
He would never admit to having any selfish motives, "I am only thinking about the future of our mansion."
The three brothers looked at each other and decided not to expose his little thoughts. They estimated that his soul had already gone to Guliang County by now.
The old lady prepared generous gifts that day. Su Jinrui and his two brothers escorted their seriously injured father to Guliang County, each with a serious expression on their face.
Su Nanting lay on the carriage and said, "Mother, I leave the house to you. I will be back soon."
"Go, go, come back early."
When the carriage started, Su Nanting sat up, breathed a sigh of relief, and finally went out. My beloved wife, your husband is here, sob~
After leaving the city gate, the team sped up, aiming to reach Guliang County before dark, mainly because Su Nanting wanted to see Song immediately.
Unable to wait any longer, Su Nanting did not take the carriage, but rode his horse towards Guliang County. "You guys should slow down, I will go ahead."
The three brothers didn't chase after their father. They knew full well that their father wanted to monopolize their mother and didn't want them to disturb him. Alas, where was the father-son relationship they had promised each other? He just abandoned them like that.
At this time, Rong Yi told Rong Bowen the news that Linlang was Song's daughter.
Rong Yi bought a jar of good wine and sat with Rong Bowen under the pomegranate tree in the yard, enjoying the moon while drinking and chatting.
"Dad, your biological daughter, my sister, actually fell into the river and drowned a month before we fled the capital.
My mother and I found Linlang in the river near our home. Before she was conscious, she fled with us to Luer Town. Later, she lost her memory, and we raised her as one of our own. To avoid further complications, I didn't tell you.
Rong Yi felt very sorry, "I'm sorry, Dad. I kept it a secret from you for so many years."
"No, it's Daddy who's sorry for you. Daddy neglected you too much in the past, that's why my daughter is gone. Even if someone else had changed, they wouldn't have noticed."
Rong Bowen felt very guilty, "Dad is sorry for you, your mother, and your sister."
"Dad, Mom and I have never blamed you. When Mom passed away, you and Linlang were the ones she was most worried about. You asked me to be filial to you and take good care of Linlang."
"Dad, you've done so well since coming to Lu'er Town. You've been good to Mom, and to me and Linlang. Mom died of a sudden illness. I know you were in great pain. You cared so much about Mom. If it weren't for Linlang and me, you might have followed Mom."
Rong Bowen and his wife were childhood sweethearts and later got married naturally.
Thinking of his deceased wife, Rong Bowen's eyes were red. "I didn't let your mother live a few days of peace in this life. I made her suffer with me. Don't meet me in the next life. Go to a good family with your sister and live a happy life."
Rong Yi comforted him, "Yes, I will."
After Rong Bowen calmed down, he asked, "Dad, what do you think about my sister returning to her ancestral home?"
"She is willing to follow the Marquis' wife and the others to the capital and return to the Marquis' Mansion. I support her. After all, I cannot provide her with the wealth and splendor of the Marquis' Mansion. Besides, her family is over there, and she deserves to go back and enjoy the happiness of family."
Rong Bowen said, "I heard that Madam Hou was overly worried about her youngest daughter and became ill from longing for her. She has been in poor health for years. It's fate that your sister saved her and nursed her back to health. I never thought that mother and daughter would be reunited."
"Actually, when your sister and the Marquis' wife stood together, Dad was a little suspicious. No one said anything, so I didn't dare to ask."
Rong Bowen was afraid that the other party would misunderstand and think that they were attracted by wealth and fame and approached them with ulterior motives, which would leave a bad impression on Linlang.
As expected of a father and son, they think the same way.
Rong Bowen drank the wine in his glass. "I know Linlang is a child with a conscience. She must be conflicted and doesn't know what choice to make. What choice should she make? If she follows her family to the capital, what future can she have in this small county? People go to high places, and water flows to low places."
Linlang quietly walked over and filled Rong Bowen's glass, holding a plate of dried meat in her hand. "You really want to throw me out and not take me back?"
"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" Rong Bowen hurriedly asked her to sit down. "Dad can't bear to leave either. Isn't that the Marquis' Mansion in the capital extremely wealthy? As long as you live well, Dad will be happy."
"It's nice here. If we have to leave, we'll leave together as a family." Linlang said, "Next year, big brother and Amu will go to high school. You'll have to go to the capital even if you don't want to."
Linlang pushed the dried meat towards Rong Bowen and said, "No matter what, you are always my father and he is my elder brother. We are a family that no one can separate. We can only allow others to join us, not to break us apart."
"You're just too stubborn, kid." Rong Bowen said this, feeling incredibly happy. He also knew that going there would be more beneficial for his daughter. "That's the Marquis' Mansion. Your parents are of noble status, so you'll have a special status there. Didn't you say you wanted to be powerful? Returning to the Marquis' Mansion and becoming their daughter will instantly make you powerful."
"Dad, a good blacksmith must be strong himself. The powerful circles in the capital all have their own circles. If I go there suddenly, they will not bully me on the surface for the sake of the Marquis's face, but I don't know how they despise me behind my back."
"When I'm strong enough, I'll go to the capital. Even if I'm not the daughter of a marquis, others will look up to me."
In her previous life, she followed her son to Beijing and accumulated a lot of interpersonal relationships and favors with her medical skills. Her son was also very outstanding. Even though the mother and son were targeted by Li Guangping, Gu Yuanfang and others in Beijing, there were still people to help her son, allowing him to overcome the difficulties smoothly.
No matter in the past life or this life, she doesn't want to be a burden to her family. In the previous life, she caused her father and brother to die in vain. In this life, she wants to protect them and let them live well and live a long life.
They are just closer to the Song family. Gu Yuanfang and the old lady can bribe the examiner to take action against Amu in the capital. Once they arrive in the capital, their family of ordinary people will be bullied to death by them.
The relationship between the Song family and the old lady was already very bad, and she didn't want to become a burden to her. She recognized them, but that didn't mean she wanted to take her family to the capital to take risks.
Now that she is pregnant, she must be more careful.
