Chapter 466 Find a way to meet someone
Upon hearing this, Su Hanchu looked at Mother Qiu and spoke.
"Auntie, can you tell me why you haven't seen your daughter for over two years? Normally, even if a woman is married, she can go back to her parents' home to visit them."
When Mrs. Qiu heard this, her eyes turned red, and her tone was full of guilt when she spoke.
"It's my own fault as a useless mother that I've brought trouble upon my Yue'er. Two years ago, my old man was seriously ill, and the doctors in town couldn't cure him. Yue'er and I brought him to the Imperial City to look for a doctor. The little money we had was quickly spent, but I couldn't bear to watch him die. Seeing that we didn't even have money to buy medicine, Yue'er and I were so anxious that we didn't know what to do. In the Imperial City, everything costs money, so Yue'er and I thought about whether we could find some work on the street.
Unexpectedly, I met a nobleman who took a fancy to Yue'er and wanted her to be his concubine. But what girl from a good family would be willing to be someone's concubine? I naturally didn't want to, but we were completely broke. Not only did we have no money to buy medicine, we even had no place to stay in the imperial city. Yue'er asked the nobleman for thirty taels of silver and left, then followed them.
Su Hanchu spoke upon hearing this.
"But even if she's a concubine, she shouldn't be invisible all the time, right?"
Upon hearing this, Mother Qiu shook her head sadly.
"I didn't even see what the noble man looked like. I only knew he was sitting in a carriage. From the sound of his voice, he was a very young man. The one who gave me the silver was a guard beside him. I originally asked which noble mansion he belonged to so I could visit my daughter in the future. The guard said we would know when Yue'er came back to take us to the mansion to play. But I haven't seen Yue'er since then, and no matter how hard I try, there's no news."
Su Hanchu felt a hint of sympathy when he heard this.
"So, Auntie, even though... you haven't forgotten to look for your daughter, right?"
Upon hearing this, Mother Qiu nodded and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves.
"I only have this one child. I've been afraid she'd stumble since she was little. Ever since she passed away, I've been looking forward to seeing her day and night. I only know that she has no worries about food and clothing in a wealthy family, but I don't know if my daughter has ever suffered any bullying, okay?"
Su Hanchu handed a handkerchief to Qiu's mother.
"Auntie, I'm going to ask you, why are you wandering around the Imperial City like that alone? You don't look very well."
Mother Qiu took the handkerchief and wiped her tears.
"Thank you, sir."
Seems to be lost in memories.
"I originally thought that Yue'er got married and left behind some money. I could buy medicine with the money and save my old man's life. But when the money was spent, my old man was gone and I couldn't save him. I couldn't see my daughter anymore. I lost my husband and my daughter. I felt that there was no meaning in living anymore. I wanted to follow my old man many times.
But I was also worried that if I died, Yue'er would come back and not be able to find her home. I had no choice but to go to the place where Yue'er was taken away to see if I could find her. Later, I didn't know how I became like that and even mistook the noble lady for my daughter.
Alas, this Jun Moxu has done a lot of harm to people. Su Hanchu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Auntie, I've sent people to look for your daughter. If nothing goes wrong, you should be able to see her soon. Auntie, you can stay with me for the time being and take good care of yourself."
Upon hearing this, Mother Qiu pinched her sleeves nervously and stood up uncomfortably.
"Sir, I've already caused you so much trouble. How can I continue living here? I'll go back to the village. My house is still habitable. You've cured me, given me clothes, and fed me here. It must have cost you a lot of money. I'll go home and farm and make some money, and I'll pay you back."
Seeing this, Su Hanchu stood up and helped her sit down.
"Mom, you also said that I look like your daughter. This is also the fate between us. Just live here peacefully and don't think about money. My mother is not around. Speaking of which, I miss her a little. If you really feel sorry for her, why not make me some delicious food, just like you made for Yue'er."
Upon hearing this, Qiu's mother hurriedly said.
"This is not good, my lord..."
Su Hanchu smiled and interrupted her.
"There's nothing wrong with that, Auntie. I'm already looking for Yue'er. If you go home, you won't be able to see her right away. You should stay here with me. I'll bring Yue'er to see you as soon as I find her."
Upon hearing this, Mother Qiu felt bad, but she still wanted to see her daughter.
"Okay, I'll make whatever you like to eat."
Su Hanchu smiled and spoke when he heard this.
"Don't worry, Auntie, just cook what you are good at. I will eat with you in the evening."
Upon hearing this, Mother Qiu stood up with a smile on her face.
"Okay, I'll go down and prepare."
After everyone left, Su Hanchu gave Caiyue some instructions.
"Tell the people in the mansion to just cook one dish and not to tire her out. Then, persuade her to get more rest and find a smart little maid to chat with her."
Caixing spoke from the side after hearing this.
"City Lord, it would be better to just tell her not to do anything."
Caiyue glanced at Caixing.
"You really are just good at martial arts, but your brain is not clear at all. The city lord is afraid that Aunt Qiu will feel guilty, so he asked her to cook a dish. You are so stupid that you can't see the city lord's good intentions at all."
Caixing retorted unconvincedly after hearing this.
"You are so good, but you are just good at talking. You can't even lift a sword or a knife at the critical moment."
Caiyue spoke unconvincedly after hearing this.
"I know a little bit about martial arts, okay? I'm just a little bit behind you, so why are you so proud?"
Looking at the two of them playing around, Su Hanchu smiled, shook his head slightly, and took a sip of tea.
"Alright, you two always bicker whenever you get together. Now that the person has been found, let's go to the Prince's Mansion and find a way to get him out."
Caixing spoke after hearing this.
"City Lord, would asking the Prince's Mansion for a woman bring unnecessary trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Su Hanchu held up the cup and spoke with a smile.
"This isn't a problem. I'm just feeling sleepy. Someone sent me a fine pillow. Send a visiting card to Crown Princess Tianyuan and tell her I'll have tea with her tomorrow. Caixing, go see Jun Moxu and tell him I'll be visiting the Crown Prince's Mansion tomorrow to see the Crown Princess and take a tour of the mansion. Don't let anyone see you when you meet Jun Moxu."
Caixing bowed when she heard that.
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
Su Hanchu tapped the table lightly.
"Caiyue, let Qingzhi come to see me."
