Chapter 499 What's going on?
He Yanxiu, "..."
His Su Yujin not only loves him, but also understands him well enough.
Being severely controlled! He Yanxiu was like an eggplant hit by frost. He just lowered his head and said, "Yes."
The sound is as thin as a mosquito's.
Seeing that He Yanxiu was feeling very aggrieved, Su Yujin couldn't help laughing but didn't show it. She just went to prepare all the herbs and gave them to He Yanxiu after he finished his meal.
He was also given an extra packet of thin, crispy biscuits with a scallion flavor, so that he could have something to eat when he was too busy at the Ministry of Revenue to eat.
He Yanxiu naturally understood Su Yujin's intentions and her love for him, so he said a lot of sweet words and then left.
Reluctant to leave, looking back every few steps.
After seeing He Yanxiu off, Su Yujin rested for a while, then told Ai Cao and others to clean up the house. She went to the kitchen to select some fresh ingredients and asked the cook to cook according to the recipe she ordered.
She even selected some live fish herself and prepared to make a fried fish dish.
When she was almost done with her work, a servant came to report that Su Shaoyuan and Lu had already entered the gate.
Su Yujin put down the work in her hands, took off her apron, and went to greet him happily.
"Uncle, aunt."
The crisp and sweet voice floated from far away to the front of Su Shaoyuan and Lu.
The two of them responded with joy, "Yujin."
Mrs. Lu first hugged Su Yujin in her arms, and after truly feeling her presence, she looked her up and down carefully, "How have you been these days?"
"Everything is fine." Su Yujin smiled with curved eyebrows, "Auntie has seen it too, everything is going well."
"It's one thing to know that everything is going well, and it's another to see that you are doing well." Mrs. Lu pursed her lips, "Your uncle and I have been staying with the He family for some time. Although we have been informed that you are doing well, I am still a little worried."
After all, that was the King of Yue.
The King of Yue, who once almost wiped out the entire Su family, is cruel, cunning, and unscrupulous.
When she first learned that Su Yujin was going to Yunling Temple with He Yanxiu, Lu almost fainted. She even had the idea of persuading Su Yujin to leave and take refuge with them, or going to Yunling Temple with Su Yujin, so that she could feel completely at ease.
But no matter how worried she was, she still thought the same thing. Lu knew that she was just being too soft-hearted, and that what she thought would not benefit the overall situation at all, and would even drag down Su Yujin.
She could only pray to God day and night, hoping that everything would go well.
And now, everything is going well.
Mrs. Lu put aside her thoughts for the time being and breathed a sigh of relief, "Now that my aunt has seen you, I am completely relieved."
"I hope you can rest assured now, Auntie." Su Yujin was still smiling. "Uncle and Auntie have been worried and frightened outside for a while. Now that they are back, they can take a good rest for a while."
"I have asked the kitchen to prepare a hearty lunch. Uncle and aunt, please clean up a bit and we will start eating."
"Okay." Mrs. Lu touched Su Yujin's head with a smile.
Su Yujin then went to take a look in the kitchen, while Su Shaoyuan and Lu returned to their own yard first.
"Master." Mrs. Lu asked as she helped Su Shaoyuan change his clothes, "The King of Yue has been imprisoned and will be executed soon. This matter is finally over."
"Yeah." Su Shaoyuan nodded, "Yes."
The culprit who threatened the lives of their Su family will soon no longer exist in this world. After so many years of worrying, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"From now on, you don't have to worry about anything." Su Shaoyuan shook hands with Lu.
"Yes." Lu nodded, "Then let's..."
"good……"
Su Shaoyuan responded without hesitation.
He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
…
The lunch was rich and delicious, especially the pan-fried fish made by Su Yujin herself. The strong aroma of pepper and salt highlighted the delicious taste of the fish, and I never get tired of eating it.
Su Shaoyuan and Mrs. Lu praised it highly, and even Su Yujin herself had a great appetite and ate a whole one.
In the afternoon, the sun is shining brightly.
A wintersweet tree in the yard is in full bloom. Each flower hangs on the branch like a small silver bell, swaying gently with the breeze.
Su Yujin didn't want to miss such good sunshine and such beautiful flowers, so she asked Ai Cao to prepare a table and some snacks. She drank tea, looked at the flowers and chatted with Su Shaoyuan and Lu in the yard.
"Yu Jin." Su Shaoyuan spoke with some difficulty after drinking several cups of tea.
"Hmm?" Su Yujin was a little surprised when she saw that Su Shaoyuan seemed to be hesitant to speak, "Uncle, do you have something to tell me?"
"Yeah." Su Shaoyuan nodded, and after looking at Lu, he clenched his fists in his sleeves, and even took a deep breath, and opened his mouth, "Actually..."
"Your father, mother, and brother... they are still alive."
Su Shaoyuan almost gritted his teeth as he uttered these words, then he quickly took a breath, took a sip of tea, and then carefully looked at Su Yujin's reaction at this moment.
When Su Yujin heard this, her face was full of disbelief, "Is what uncle said true? You are not kidding me, right?"
"How can you joke about this?" Su Shaoyuan smiled bitterly, "But if you think about it carefully, it seems that God is playing a big joke on us."
Seeing that Su Shaoyuan and Lu both looked solemn and didn't seem to be lying, Su Yujin sat up straight and asked, "Where are my parents and eldest brother now?"
"Your father and mother are right in front of you." Mrs. Lu held Su Yujin's hand.
Her parents were right in front of her.
Doesn't that mean...
Su Yujin's inquiring eyes wandered back and forth between Su Shaoyuan and Lu. After receiving affirmative responses from the two, she found it even more incredible, "What on earth is going on?"
"It's a long story..."
Su Shaoyuan coughed lightly and slowly explained to Su Yujin, "Back then, our family was a merchant family with a good financial situation. In order to run a smooth business, we would make friends with many dignitaries in the hope of getting their protection. By chance, I met the King of Yue, who was still a prince at the time."
"It is a great honor for ordinary merchants to make friends with the prince. The King of Yue at that time had a free and easy personality. Jiang seemed to be very righteous and generous. I also respect and admire him very much. In order to maintain this relationship, I usually take out 10% of the net profit from my family's business to honor him."
"Perhaps because he saw that I was very filial, the King of Yue was not stingy and introduced many businesses to us, including tribute. It can be said that the Su family also made a lot of money because of the King of Yue. I also tasted the sweetness and became more and more courteous and filial. Moreover, because of my contribution to making a lot of money for the King of Yue, I was valued by him even more."
