Chapter 348 Sister
Personal matter?
He Yanxiu was a little surprised, "Master Su, please speak."
"I heard that Lady Ping'an has been staying at Lord He's house recently?" Su Wenxuan said.
"Yes." He Yanxiu straightened his body slightly and said, "My grandmother has been in poor health recently, and my mother is accompanying Concubine Shu in the palace. Because my mother is very close to Ping'an County Lord, and Ping'an County Lord has recently come to the capital for the Juweizhai matter, I specially invited Ping'an County Lord to stay at home for a while and help take care of my grandmother's health."
"I wonder why Lord Su suddenly mentioned this?"
Could it be that the news about the Third Prince had leaked out? He Yanxiu suddenly became a little nervous, and when he looked at Su Wenxuan again, his eyes were also sharp.
"To be honest with you, Lord He, when I was sorting out imperial edicts in the Hanlin Academy, I found that Ping'an County Lord's surname was Su and his given name was Yujin. I felt very familiar with him. After visiting Ping'an County Lord, I learned the names of his father and brother, so I wrote a letter to my father to explain the situation."
Su Wenxuan said, "Yesterday I received a reply from my father, saying that he had checked the family tree and found that although Ping'an County Lord's family and my family are not from the same line, they are still considered relatives, and they are within the fifth degree of mourning. So if we talk about it in detail, I have to call Ping'an County Lord's father my uncle."
"I see." He Yanxiu cupped his hands, "So Lord Su is the cousin of Lady Ping'an."
"I came to talk to Lord He about this today, not because I want to establish a relationship with the Lord of Ping'an County, nor do I want to publicize this matter too much, but I just want Lord He to know."
Su Wenxuan paused for a moment and said, "I can see Lord He's feelings for Lady Ping'an, and I can probably see Lady Ping'an's affection for Lord He."
"I am not being arrogant when I say this in front of Lord He. I just want to remind Lord He that Ping'an County Lady is also a person with her mother's family. Lord He must not look down on or neglect Ping'an County Lady because of this."
"Although I and Lord He share the same following, the Third Prince, and I have always admired Lord He, if Lord He is truly a cold-hearted person, then I don't mind doing something out of the ordinary."
"Of course. According to my observation, Lord He is a kind-hearted person and treats Ping'an County Lady very well. I think my worries are just groundless."
"But since Lady Ping'an is my cousin and her family has long passed away, I have no choice but to support Lady Ping'an more in these matters, so that she can have some confidence."
"I hope Lord He can understand my thoughts."
After saying that, Su Wenxuan stood up and bowed to He Yanxiu.
He Yanxiu also bowed in return, "Master Su, you are too kind."
"Since Lord Su is the cousin of Ping'an County Lord, it is only natural for him to make more plans for her. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. On the contrary, I am very happy because of the concern of Lord Su, my cousin."
Although Su Yujin had never complained about her background and the early death of her parents and brothers, which left her an orphan, He Yanxiu could occasionally see that Su Yujin often showed a little envy of others for having family members who cared for them.
Now, she also has the care and support of her cousin, so Su Yujin should be happy about it.
"Please rest assured, Lord Su. Although my family background and official position are limited, I cannot guarantee that Ping'an County Lady will never worry about anything in her life. But as long as it concerns Ping'an County Lady, I will do my best within my ability to ensure that she does not suffer any grievances."
The words were powerful and full of promise.
Su Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more relieved. "Since Lord He said so, I am relieved."
"Regarding the matter of recognizing relatives, since Ping'an County Lady is now staying at Lord He's house, please inform Lord Ping'an County Lady of this matter. Please also tell Lord He that my father is happy, but as an earl, he cannot move around without an imperial decree, so he cannot come to see Lord He for the time being. Next year, my father will report to the emperor, and after receiving his approval, he will definitely go to visit Lord Ping'an County Lady."
"Don't worry, Lord Su. I will definitely convey these words to you." He Yanxiu nodded.
"Thank you, Lord He." Su Wenxuan bowed again, "It's almost the end of the year and the Ministry of Revenue is busy. I won't bother you any more and will take my leave first."
"Master Su, take care."
He Yanxiu sent Su Wenxuan out of the Ministry of Revenue. After he walked away, the corners of his lips that were raised lowered and his brows furrowed slightly.
After finishing the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue and returning to the He family, He Yanxiu did not go to Meixiangyuan immediately, but called Shi Ding over first.
"What do you want, Master?"
"Go check the relationship between Lord Anmin and the family of Su Huaiyi, the father of Lady Ping'an." He Yanxiu ordered, "Make sure to check it thoroughly."
Firstly, although it is a good thing, it happened suddenly, so it is better to be cautious and confirm it.
Secondly, he always felt that Su Wenxuan cared about Su Yujin more than he imagined.
Even if the relatives within the five generations of kinship expressed such caring words, they would not be as serious and solemn as Su Wenxuan's.
It was as if Su Yujin was not his cousin, but rather his biological sister...
"Yes, I'll leave immediately." Shi Ding agreed, and then disappeared in the afterglow of the setting sun.
He Yanxiu left the yard and prepared to go to Meixiangyuan.
But before reaching Meixiang Garden, He Yanxiu paused slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards Madam He's yard first.
It would be better for her to pay her respects to her grandmother first. Otherwise, her grandmother would probably say that she was only thinking about Su Yujin and had forgotten about her, her biological grandmother.
He Yanxiu was thinking about this and walked briskly to Madam He's yard.
But before he even entered the courtyard, the old lady guarding the door said, "If the Second Master comes to pay his respects to the old lady, it would be a bad omen."
"Grandma, why do you go to bed so early these days?"
Mrs. He usually goes to bed early and gets up early, and especially after winter, she goes to bed even earlier than usual.
"That's not the case." The old lady smiled. "The old lady went to Meixiang Garden. I just heard from the messenger who came back that she would have dinner there tonight and would not come back until after dinner."
He Yanxiu, "..."
Did he say with confidence this time that he heard that his grandmother was in Meixiangyuan after returning home, so he went straight to Meixiangyuan?
He Yanxiu touched his nose and headed towards Meixiang Garden.
When they arrived at Meixiang Garden, He Yanxiu heard through the curtain that Old Madam He was talking with Su Yujin in the hall.
"Let me tell you, even though Yan Xiu looks serious now, he was actually a naughty kid when he was little. He got into trouble all the time. He would tear the roof off the house if he wasn't punished for three days. He was just like a ghost..."
Dabao has a record high fever today. It feels like her immune system is killing her, but it doesn't care about her body at all...
