Chapter 472: Lure the snake out of its hole
All the way back to the capital, to Su Yujin's house.
Because Du Song and Shi Ding had sent the letter back early, the house was brightly lit at this time. Su Yujin, He Yanxiu, Lu, Su Wenxuan and Su Yunruo were all waiting.
When they saw Su Shaoyuan returning, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But when they saw that Su Shaoyuan was covered with wounds, their hearts were in their throats.
Mrs. Lu's eyes were filled with tears, and Su Yunruo's eyes were also red. Although Su Wenxuan was the calmest, his mood could be seen from his trembling hands.
Su Yujin also had mixed feelings, but she still managed to maintain the composure that a doctor should have, and carefully examined Su Shaoyuan's condition.
After finishing the inspection, Su Yujin breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Shaoyuan was covered in wounds, but most of them were superficial injuries, with no broken bones or tendons. Only his left arm and hand had been bruised and had some bone fractures due to being stepped on by someone.
At the same time, because he had not had a drop of water since being caught and had suffered such a great fright, Su Shaoyuan was very weak at this time.
Su Yujin prepared medicine for disinfecting external injuries, powder for external application, and decoctions for healing injuries and conditioning the body. Finally, she fixed Su Shaoyuan's injured arm with a splint.
"There's nothing serious going on, but the arm needs to rest properly. It will take two or three months to heal." Su Yujin said, "I've asked the kitchen to prepare more light and nutritious meals in the past two days, and I've also told the kitchen clearly about the dietary taboos."
"Thank you for your hard work, Yujin." Su Shaoyuan, leaning on the soft pillow at the head of the bed, had a hoarse voice and looked very tired.
"Uncle, please don't say such distant words." Su Yujin stood up, "I will go and ask someone to boil the medicine and cook some food."
"Go ahead." Mrs. Lu wiped her tears and asked Su Yunruo to help. She sat on the stool beside the bed and grabbed Su Shaoyuan's right hand. "It's really scary."
"How could it be so scary?" Su Shaoyuan forced a smile and wiped away the tears on Lu's face with his hand. "You are so old, but you are still crying. Yu Jin and Ruoruo saw it. Aren't you ashamed?"
The words were said playfully, causing Lu, who was originally in a heavy mood, to raise the corners of his lips a little.
"That's right, since I've returned safely, you should be happy." Su Shaoyuan said, "Everything is fine, there's no danger."
Besides, no matter how dangerous it is, can it be more dangerous than more than a decade ago? These words almost came out of his mouth, but Su Shaoyuan still swallowed his saliva and swallowed all these words.
But Lu still thought of this, and sighed at Su Shaoyuan, "I'm just afraid, fear is like..."
"It's okay. This is the action of the Fan family, probably not the action of the King of Yue." Su Shaoyuan responded to her words and winked at Su Wenxuan beside him.
Su Wenxuan understood and told the maids in the room, "You guys go out first. I'll call you in if there's anything."
After everyone had left, Su Wenxuan closed the door, bolted it from the inside, and stood guard at the door.
Seeing this, Su Shaoyuan let out a sigh of relief and continued, "The King of Yue doesn't know our identities, and this time I was targeted by that group of thieves, but they didn't want to kill me. They were more after money."
"And if the King of Yue really wanted to get rid of me, he probably wouldn't have sent such a mob. In short, this is just an accident, you don't have to take it to heart."
"On the contrary, I was able to escape this disaster because of Yan Xiu. Now that I am in this state, it is inconvenient for me to move around often. Wenxuan, you need to express your gratitude."
"Don't worry, father. I know how to do it." Su Wenxuan nodded, thinking about how to express his gratitude.
Visiting and giving gifts are necessary, but it is inevitable that they are a bit cliché.
He Yanxiu had previously approached him to discuss doing merchant shipping business, and at that time the two of them had also agreed on their respective profit sharing.
He Yanxiu's goal and what he hoped for most at this moment was to earn more money.
In this case, he would cater to his needs and earn more money for He Yanxiu! In addition to working hard to do all the business well, he would also give He Yanxiu more share...
Here, He Yanxiu and Su Yujin went to the side room together.
He told Su Yunruo to go to the kitchen and keep an eye on the situation, while Su Yujin was watching over the boiling medicine.
He Yanxiu was fanning the fire in the charcoal stove with a palm-leaf fan to make it burn as vigorously as he wanted.
"You mean, are you planning to send someone to check on the Fan family?" After listening to He Yanxiu's explanation of Du Song and Shi Ding's plans, Su Yujin raised her eyebrows slightly, "What do you think?"
"It's naturally to lure the snake out of its hole."
He Yanxiu waved the palm-leaf fan in his hand and spoke slowly, "Although the Fan family's business is doing well, it is not outstanding in the capital. Although the Su family's business is different from the Fan family's, the Fan family does not have the courage to touch the Su family."
"Especially now that your uncle is the Lord Anmin and you are the Princess Ping'an, there are so many connections behind the scenes. Since Fan Rongxuan has such thoughts, it is obvious that there is probably someone behind him instigating and directing it."
"First, let's take a look at who is behind this puppet of the Fan family and what kind of person is controlling it."
"Yes." Su Yujin nodded, "That's true, but if you want to lure the snake out of its hole..."
"If we only let Du Song and Shi Ding take Wang Qi with them to contact the Fan family, will the Fan family really fall for it?"
"Don't worry about that." He Yanxiu said with a smile, "They both have their own ways."
What are their two solutions? Su Yujin couldn't help but tilt his head.
Du Song has always been quite calm and reliable, but Shi Ding...
Su Yujin always felt that although he had good skills, his way of thinking seemed to be different from that of ordinary people.
Could it be that their idea was to pretend to be Lord Anmin and fool the Fan family?
…
“A-choo!”
After sneezing loudly, Shi Ding rubbed his nose.
Du Song glanced at him with disgust, "I just drew the blood for you, but you messed it up again. If it doesn't look real, how can we deceive the Fan family?"
"Anyway, the Fan family may not have seen Uncle An Min before, and it's normal for his face to be unrecognizable after being injured like this." Shi Ding muttered, "Besides, at my age, it's really inappropriate to pretend to be Uncle An Min. It will make others think that Uncle An Min is a lazy pretty boy!"
People who are blindly confident are always happy.
The corners of Du Song's mouth almost turned up to his ears, but he still patiently poured all the remaining animal blood onto Shi Ding's clothes.
