Su Xingyi?
"What is this? What does it mean?"
Su Xingyi spoke with neither arrogance nor servility, and said word for word: "The unity of knowledge and action, the sincerity of intention."
"Well, OK, that's a good name."
"Thank you for the compliment, father-in-law."
It sounds so easy to call, but he hasn’t agreed yet!
Xiao Su looked at Su Xingyi meaningfully and saw that Su Xingyi's forehead was covered with sweat.
Did he scare him?
Thinking of this, Xiao Su quickly turned his gaze to Xiao Xier.
With many questions lingering in his mind, Xiao Su urgently needed to see Xiao Lingyu to answer his questions and resolve his doubts.
So where exactly did the deviation occur?
The imperial edict clearly stated that Yu'er should marry a disabled or poor person.
There is no reason for Qi Lianli to help the Xiao family disobey the imperial edict and act insincerely.
This is a heinous crime punishable by death!
Also, the Xiao family is detained in Anyang County, and no matter how you look at it, it seems that there is a conspiracy behind this.
Or was it that the emperor at the time used the guise of exile as an excuse to protect them?
But it doesn’t make sense!
Why did he want to marry his precious daughter off?
"Sister Xi, didn't you say you would take me to see your mother?"
Xiao Xier said in a baby voice, "Grandpa, Mom is taking a nap in the big yard next door. She might not have woken up yet. Can we wait in the yard first?"
Xiao Su was very surprised that such a young child was so sensible.
It seems that Yu'er is very well-behaved and sensible even though she is so young.
"Okay, how old are you?"
"I'm almost four, and my oldest brother is almost eight."
"Grandfather!" Su Ningjie ran forward and volunteered, "I'm over six years old, almost seven."
"I'm over four years old, almost five. Mother cured my throat and taught us to read and write. I love reading. I will definitely earn a royal title for her in the future."
Xiao Su touched Su Ningwen, "Good boy!"
Did Yu'er treat this child's throat?
Before Xiao Su had time to think deeply, he heard Su Ningjie say, "Grandfather, I will make a lot of money for mother in the future."
"And me, I'm full of strength. I can protect Mom closely. I can also paint. I will support Mom by painting in the future."
Xiao Su listened to the children's tender and innocent words, smiled, held Xiao Xier in his arms with one hand, and held Su Ningwen's little hand with the other.
"Children, let's go to your mother's yard,"
Xiao Su took the children away, and Su Xingyi's tense nerves relaxed.
Si Chuyu came over and touched Su Xingyi's forehead, which was covered with sweat.
"Xingyi, don't be nervous. Although your father-in-law looks serious, he should be easy to talk to. Just follow him."
"Okay, thank you Chu Yu."
"By the way, are you still going to pick out gifts this afternoon?"
Su Xingyi thought for a moment and said, "If we are going, we will send someone to inform you."
"Okay, I'll stay in the yard with A Yuan this afternoon and won't go anywhere."
When Si Chuyu saw Su Xingyi catch up with the five grandparents and grandchildren, he smiled and turned away, going straight to the big kitchen, saying that the distinguished guests needed to be entertained well.
Xiao Su was delighted to see four maids guarding outside the bedroom.
Very good!
His beloved daughter did not suffer any hardship and was served by servants.
What a blessing!
Mo Shu, Shang Xue, Ru Yu and Si Jin saw the young master entering the yard with a middle-aged man of extraordinary demeanor, and hurriedly served him tea and snacks.
Then he stepped aside politely.
"Shh!"
Xiao Su made a gesture to keep quiet, not wanting any sound to be heard in the yard and disturb his precious daughter's sleep.
Only then did the four people from the Su family realize how favored Xiao Lingyu was in the family.
Half a cup of tea later, a familiar lazy voice came from the room, "Mo Shu, Shang Xue, come in and dress up."
Shang Xue gently pushed the door open and walked in. Xiao Lingyu was already sitting in front of the dressing table.
"I'm going to take the kids to various shops in the city later. Put your hair up a little higher for me. You're bound to work up a sweat while shopping today."
"Yes, Madam. Let's put on some exquisite makeup for you. You have to look beautiful when you go shopping, right, Shangxue?"
Shang Xue nodded vigorously, "Yes, I have to look beautiful when I go out to meet people."
Xiao Lingyu didn't understand what they meant and just thought they were joking.
"Who are you meeting? Your wife and I are taking our family shopping to pick out gifts. Since you want me to look beautiful, I'll take you out with me today. You'll be responsible for carrying the bags. Now, start by putting on some exquisite makeup for me."
Mo Shu and Shang Xue fixed Xiao Lingyu's hair and put on makeup.
The lady looked very similar to the distinguished man sitting in the yard.
No need to guess, they are father and daughter.
The two of them picked out a dress from the wardrobe that was steady yet lively for Xiao Lingyu to wear.
She also picked out a few hair accessories from the dressing table that matched the color of her clothes.
"Madam, aren't you beautiful?" Mo Shu took out two palm-sized glass mirrors from the bottom layer of the dressing table and held them in front of Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu took the glass mirror and looked at it carefully. "Hmm, not bad, very beautiful."
Xiao Lingyu stood up and said, "Let's go to the study first, and then go to Lanxin Waterside Pavilion to pick up the children."
After a moment, a familiar figure came into Xiao Su's sight. Xiao Su excitedly called out, "Yu'er."
Huh?
This voice sounds so familiar.
Xiao Lingyu looked towards the pavilion in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged man running towards her.
sky!
Is she dreaming?
The person who came was the original owner's father, and also her father!
The imperial edict just arrived in Huayang County today. Even if it was sent to the place of exile by express delivery of 800 miles, it would not be possible for it to be delivered so quickly!
Xiao Lingyu's nose felt sore, and he hurried over, "Dad, you've lost weight."
"Yu'er, don't cry." Xiao Su quickly took out a clean handkerchief from his arms and wiped her carefully, fearing that using too much force would hurt her creamy face.
"Don't cry, your eyes will get swollen if you cry anymore..." Xiao Su coaxed softly.
"Dad, I'm not crying. I'm so happy to see you..."
Xiao Su was secretly happy when he saw that Xiao Lingyu was a little fatter than before his exile, and there was no sign of suffering on his face.
"Dad is also very happy to see you. Your grandparents, uncle and aunt have missed you very much. As soon as we received the imperial edict of rehabilitation, Dad came to look for you. Do you want to come back to Beijing with us?"
Xiao Lingyu felt very distressed when he saw that Xiao Su's clothes were rather thin.
"There's a wind in the yard. Let's go inside and talk."
Xiao Lingyu said as he pulled Xiao Su into the room, "Mo Shu, go prepare a pot of hot ginger tea."
"yes!"
Mo Shu glanced at the five men who were left in the yard and hurried to the small kitchen.
The five members of the Su family stood in the yard, staring at each other.
what to do?
Mother didn't call them in!
Do you want to follow your grandfather back to Beijing and leave them behind?
"Children, the father and daughter have a lot of private things to say. Let's not let our minds wander and go sit in the pavilion and wait."
Su Xingyi was coaxing the children, but in fact he was also coaxing himself.
He hoped Xiao Lingyu would not abandon him and the child, and wanted to return to Beijing with her...
