Chapter 284: Saying You Are a Fool
This time, Su Wan will not return to Fengyue Villa for the time being. She doesn’t know when she will come again, so when she leaves, she wants to say goodbye to the old master.
When the old sect leader heard that she was leaving, he felt extremely reluctant to let her go.
He liked Su Wan from the bottom of his heart. She had brought him a lot of joy during this period of time and brought some fun and comfort to his dull and difficult life of illness.
He now only recognizes Su Wan as his future granddaughter-in-law.
"Girl Wan, why don't you spend the Lantern Festival in the mountains before going back?" the old sect leader tried to persuade her.
Su Wan sat obediently beside his bed and handed him a bowl of medicinal food:
"Grandfather, I've been away for nearly half a year. My parents and brothers at home are all thinking about me. I didn't spend the New Year at home this year, so they must have missed me a lot. I miss them too, so I want to finish my business in Zhongzhou as soon as possible so that I can go back and be with them."
Upon hearing this, the old sect leader nodded and exclaimed:
"You are a filial and good girl, and one of the few smart girls I have met in my life. You are so young and yet you are traveling all over the country to do business. Girls your age don't have your courage. You have worked hard during this period of time. You have been busy running around for me and doing your best. Grandfather doesn't know how to repay you. You don't want anything, but if you think of something you want in the future, you must tell Grandfather. Even if it is the stars and the moon in the sky, I will find a way to pick it for you."
The old sect leader really values Su Wan, and his tone is filled with endless admiration and reluctance to let go.
Su Wan smiled, covered her lips and jokingly said:
"Grandfather, last time you said you could find anything for me except the stars and the moon in the sky. Why did you include the stars and the moon this time?"
When the old sect leader heard this, he chuckled:
"You are so sarcastic, girl. I just thought that this was the only way to express how much your grandfather values you."
"Then I would like to thank you, grandfather. However, before that, you have to promise me to take good care of yourself. If I am free in the future, I will come to Fengyue Villa to see you." Su Wan is really likable in front of the elders. He is sweet-mouthed, good at talking, and smart. He can always coax the elders into obedience.
No, the old master nodded and agreed:
"That's a must. I'm still looking forward to holding my grandson, so I have to take care of myself."
Hearing the word "great-grandson", Su Wan felt embarrassed. Her grandfather was thinking too far ahead. She was still young and everything was not settled yet. Isn't it too early to call him great-grandson?
"Grandfather, you are joking again!" Su Wan scolded.
"Hahaha, no kidding, no kidding. When the time is right, I will ask your uncle He to go to your house to propose marriage on behalf of Ayu. We will go through the three letters and six ceremonies, and marry you in a formal sedan chair carried by eight people." The old sect leader smiled while stroking his beard, and was happy from the bottom of his heart.
"What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?"
Jiang Yu had already arranged everything for going down the mountain and came to pick up Su Wan. He could hear the laughter in the bedroom while he was still in the yard.
"I didn't say anything, I just said you are a fool!" Su Wan took over the conversation, and this made the old master laugh again.
"Yes, yes, he is a fool!" The old sect leader agreed with Su Wan's description.
Jiang Yu was so angry that he laughed, and held his forehead helplessly. The old man and the young man were now on the same side, bullying him together.
"Wanwan, everything is ready. Let's go down the mountain quickly so we can get into the city before dark. Zhongzhou has a curfew, so we won't be able to get in if we're late."
Today Jiang Yu changed into his favorite purple color again. When his grandfather was not feeling well before, he always wore black. Now that his grandfather is better, he has become lively again.
"Grandpa, I'll leave first. I'll come to see you when I have time in the future!" Su Wan stood up and said goodbye.
"Okay, you must remember what you said. Remember to come and see me, a lonely man." The old sect leader knew that the girl had important things to do, so he did not try to keep her.
Liuyun had already packed up all her things, and there were also a few boxes of jewelry, all of which were found for her by the old master. Each one was more beautiful and exquisite than the other.
Su Wan had unknowingly become a hidden wealthy woman, and all her jewelry combined were enough to support her for two lifetimes.
Fengying took the luggage down the mountain first. A luxury ship was parked at the foot of the mountain. Su Wan and his sister, Jiang Yu, and Sun Ling'er followed them and slowly walked down the mountain.
…
Xiangzhou only received Su Wan's letter on the fifth day of the New Year. Su Yun had been looking forward to her return from before New Year's Eve until now, but she hadn't come back. Now the letter said that she would not come back until she finished her business in Zhongzhou. Doesn't this mean that she will have to wait another month or two?
This Su Wan was so absorbed in playing outside that she almost forgot about her family. He would definitely not forgive her and would ignore her for at least two months.
…
After Su Wan and the others went down the mountain, the old sect leader asked Jiang Yunhe to go to Yu Wushang's yard and ask him why he did this. The old sect leader didn't want to see him, but he wanted to know the reason. He wanted to know how he had offended him over the years and why he wanted to kill himself and Jiang Yu.
Mingming was a very good child when he was young. He was hardworking, motivated and sensible.
But what about now? He would do anything to achieve his goal, even going so far as to harm his adoptive father who raised him and his nephew who grew up under his care.
Jiang Yunhe also wanted to know why. He went there with two jars of wine. When they were young, the two boys, about fifteen or sixteen years old, would often take their junior sister to steal the master's aged wine and drink it secretly. Then the three of them would get drunk and stagger, using the sky as their roof and the ground as their home. The master was worried about his daughter, so he took people to look for her everywhere.
The two of them were often punished for this, but even when they were punished, they would laugh happily and would dare to do it again next time.
When did it all start to change? It seemed like it was when my junior sister fell in love with a man, and after she got married, everything seemed to have changed.
Yu Wushang's martial arts and internal strength were crippled, so his master asked Doctor Sun to spare his life. It is said that he has gotten much better in the past two days and can even get out of bed and walk.
In just half a month, the tall and strong man had quickly become thinner. His back was hunched, and he seemed to have aged a dozen years in an instant. There were also large patches of white on his hair.
Jiang Yunhe stepped into the house, which was warm. He had never been deprived of food, clothing, shelter and transportation. The old sect leader wanted to make him live in pain as a punishment.
"Didn't I tell you that I don't want to eat? Why did I come here again and again?" Yu Wushang spoke weakly, yet he was still so arrogant.
"I brought some daughter's red wine that I have collected for ten years. Would you like to try it?" Jiang Yunhe sat down opposite him with the wine. Yu Wushang was stunned, as if he didn't expect him to come.
"Why are you here?"
He looked away in shock. He had thought that they had trapped him here as a useless person, while they were living a happy and prosperous life outside and had long forgotten about this useless person.
