When Yunxu arrived at the Anguo Mansion with Tian Mingwu's letter, she happened to meet Mrs. An at the door who had just returned from inspecting the shop with Zuo Yunshu.
When the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law heard that she was going to look for Madam An, they took her with them and said, "We were originally going to go to Grandmother's yard, and now that you're here, it's just right for us to go together."
Old Madam An had just woken up from her nap. When she heard that three people had arrived, she happily asked the maid to prepare tea and snacks.
"Miss Yunxu finally has time to come and see me today." Old Madam An said with a smile, holding Yunxu's hand.
As she got older, she liked to watch these lively children and grandchildren. Unfortunately, everyone was busy with official business or studies. Even her granddaughter-in-law, Zuo Yunshu, who had just married into the family, was busy learning to be a housekeeper these days, and she came to her yard less and less.
Yunxu obediently helped Madam An sit down, then said, "I was busy learning housekeeping with Sister Chunxi a few days ago, so I didn't come. When Yunxu finishes her studies in a while, she will have time to come and accompany Grandma more often."
"Okay, grandma will prepare delicious food for you then." Although she knew that she would be even busier after becoming a housekeeper, the old lady did not expose her fault and still clapped her hands happily.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yunxu took out the letter written by Tian Mingwu from the satchels that were held by Tian An's apprentices and friends beside him and gave it to Madam An, "My godfather said he was going on a long trip to bring my godmother back.
This is a letter she wrote to my grandmother and asked me to deliver it to you. She also said that after you read the letter, you will tell me the questions I want to know.
"Who are you talking about?" Mrs. An on the side suspected that she had heard it wrong.
"Aunt, godfather said he's going to pick up godmother." Yunxu said again with certainty. After thinking for a moment, afraid that they would misunderstand godfather like she did, she added, "She's the biological mother of Sister An'an and Brother Weizhen."
"Yunxu, explain clearly, what do you mean by going to pick up An An's biological mother? Aunt Wan is not..." Zuo Yunshu also looked incredulous.
When An Yichen introduced the relationship between the An family and Tian An to her, he told her about his aunt An Wan.
But he had clearly said that Aunt Wan had died long ago, and her uncle Tian Mingwu had traveled thousands of miles from his hometown in Jinning County to move her grave to the capital and buried her in Taohua Mountain outside the city.
So what is the situation now?
Old Madam An had been staring at them talking in a daze, and only now did she react.
Suddenly, he excitedly pulled Yunxu and said, "Girl, what did you just say? Say it again."
Yunxu carefully supported Madam An to prevent her from falling due to her excitement, and patiently said, "Grandma, Yunxu just said that godfather went to pick up Sister An An's biological mother. My godmother has gone, and she asked me to come and deliver a letter to you!"
Old Madam An didn't care about the letter. She only heard Yunxu talking about Tian An's biological mother. When she thought of An Wan, tears flowed uncontrollably.
"What does Mingwu mean by going to pick up Wan'er? He means, he means my, my Wan'er, Wan'er, is not dead?" She opened her eyes wide and looked at Yunxu, her voice choked, and she almost trembled as she said those two words.
She had been searching for so many years, hoping for so many years, and waiting for so many years. Now she had finally given up, but suddenly someone told her that An Wan was not dead. She was really afraid that they had made another mistake, and was afraid that in the blink of an eye, she would see Yun Xu shaking her head in denial.
Mrs. An and Zuo Yunshu both knew how important An Wan was to the An family, and they both stared at Yunxu intently, waiting for her to confirm the truth of the news again.
Although Yunxu felt a lot of pressure under the gazes of the three elders, she knew that they were suffering more than she was at this moment.
I had to muster up the courage to nod solemnly, “This is probably what Godfather meant.
But he left in a hurry, saying only that his godmother had been murdered by a villain a few years ago, making everyone think that she was gone. She must have suffered a lot outside over the years, so he had to go and pick up his godmother quickly.
There is no further explanation for the rest.”
Yunxu pointed at the letter that was crumpled by Madam An and said, "Godfather wrote me a letter and asked me to give it to Grandma. I haven't read it, so I don't know what it says. But I think it should be related to Godmother's matter. Grandma, you should read the letter quickly!"
"Yes, yes, read the letter." Old Madam An wiped her tears quickly, opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.
After quickly reading it, he carefully identified each word one by one, fearing that he might have read a word wrong because of his old eyesight.
But the more she read the letter, the more she cried. "My Wan'er, she's really, really still alive."
Mrs. An and Zuo Yunshu looked at each other and it seemed that this was true.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurriedly stood up to comfort Mrs. An, "Mom, this is a happy event, we have to be happy."
"Yes! Grandma, you must stop crying. If your eyes get swollen, my aunt will be heartbroken when she sees you when she comes back."
"Yes, yes, this is a happy occasion, I can't cry." Old Madam An wiped her tears in panic, as if An Wan would come in and see her crying in the next second.
When she finally calmed down, she suddenly made a decision that embarrassed everyone, "I want to go pick up Wan'er myself."
She was really scared, afraid that something might happen to An Wan on the way back. Only when she saw An Wan with her own eyes would she feel at ease.
But she is so old, how could Mrs. An agree to let her travel such a long distance?
"Mother, we don't know Wan'er's exact location right now. Even if you want to go pick her up in person, you have to find out where she is before you go! Let's wait for Master to come back and discuss it with us before making a decision!"
As he said this, he asked his servants to quickly notify Duke An Guo and An Yichen to come back.
Zuo Yunshu was afraid the old lady would start to overthink things, so he tried to divert her attention. He turned to Yunxu and said, "Yunxu, didn't you have a question for Grandma just now? What did you want to ask?"
"Oh! Oh? I just want to ask about my godmother's daily preferences and prepare them in advance so that I can use them when she comes back."
Yunxu didn't know Zuo Yunshu's intention, but she did want to ask Madam An some questions about An Wan. Now that Zuo Yunshu reminded her, she hurriedly took out the booklet she carried with her and prepared to start recording.
"Grandma, do you know what color and style of dresses my godmother likes?"
Madam An fell into deep thought as she listened to Yunxu's words, memories of the past reawakening, "Wan'er likes quietness, and her clothes are mostly plain colors, such as green, tea white, lotus purple, and sky blue.
Although she is a daughter of a Duke, she has always been frugal, never wearing wide-sleeved, floor-length dresses, and her hair accessories are simple. She especially loves peach blossoms..."
Mrs. An spoke carefully and Yunxu took notes seriously.
It was not until Duke An Guo and An Yichen rushed back after receiving the news that Madam An stopped.
