When Su Xuerong followed her parents to the Lin family's courtyard, she heard Lin's mother crying and arguing with Lin Chenggui: "If you hadn't kept her under control all the time, why would she have suddenly run off to the capital?"
Lin Chenggui was so angry that his face turned red: "This unfilial daughter, she has no shame! It's all your fault for spoiling her! Don't even think about the Lin family acknowledging such a shameless thing again!"
Lin's mother immediately burst into tears: "If you don't get someone to find her, I won't live anymore..."
Zhou hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her: "Sister-in-law, you must take it easy. Yu'er must have just gone out to play on a whim. She'll probably be back in a couple of days."
"Go back to what?" Lin's mother cried. "In her letter to her father, she said she was going to the capital to broaden her horizons, to find a good husband there and marry into a wealthy family, and she would never return to the countryside..."
As Su Xuerong listened to Lin's mother's tearful complaints, her heart sank.
Could it be that the brainless girl, just like in her previous life, has recklessly gone to the capital to find Xiao Shiyan?
Lin Jinyu likes Xiao Shiyan.
By the time she learned that Lin Jinyu had secretly followed her to the capital, her body had already been thrown into a mass grave on the outskirts of Beijing by Xu Wanjing's orders and fed to wolves.
To further wound her heart, Xu Wanjing ordered someone to send her a bloodstained necklace engraved with the Lin family crest.
Su Xuerong fainted on the spot and lay in bed for half a month.
In this life, how did Lin Jinyu find out Xiao Shiyan's true identity?
Could it be that he secretly came over last night to eavesdrop on his parents' conversation?
Thinking of this, Su Xuerong's face immediately turned deathly pale.
Lin Chenggui had shown the Su family immense kindness, but Lin Jinyu died tragically in the capital because of Xiao Shiyan. How could she ever repay such a debt of gratitude?
She hurriedly said to Lin Chenggui, "Uncle, you must send someone to chase after her at top speed. The war has just ended, the world is still not stable, and there are still bandits everywhere. She is going to the capital with a maid. What if something happens to her on the way..."
Upon hearing this, Lin's mother immediately jumped up and grabbed Lin Chenggui's arm tightly, gritting her teeth and saying, "If you don't let someone chase after her, I'll kill myself!"
After listening to Su Xuerong's words, Lin Chenggui calmed down and immediately said, "Quickly prepare the horses, I'll go after them myself!"
Su Xuerong quickly grabbed him: "Uncle, let me go. What if she gets impatient and starts arguing with you again..."
Lin Jinyu and her father always clashed, arguing after only a few words. She worried that Lin Chenggui's visit would backfire.
Perhaps Lin Chenggui also went after her in her previous life, which made Lin Jinyu determined to go to the capital.
Lin's mother hurriedly said, "Yes, let Arong go. The two sisters are very close, and their words carry more weight than yours."
Lin Chenggui immediately arranged for seven or eight guards from the estate to accompany Su Xuerong.
After Su Xuerong mounted her horse and rode away, Lin Chenggui belatedly turned around and looked at Su Jingxuan and Zhou Shi, asking in surprise, "How come Arong suddenly knows how to ride a horse?"
The couple looked at each other, shook their heads, and said they didn't know.
Su Xuerong was in such a hurry that she didn't have time to change into a more comfortable riding skirt. The folded hem of her skirt was lifted by the wind, creating a striking scene on the gray official road and attracting the admiring glances of countless passersby.
"Miss, Yu-jie's carriage is just ahead!"
One of the guards, with sharp eyes, spotted Lin Jinyu's carriage in the distance.
Looking from afar, Su Xuerong saw Lin Jinyu and her maid standing by the roadside, while the carriage was overturned and surrounded by several men.
She was thankful that she had seven or eight guards with her behind her, so that she could handle even if she encountered someone with ill intentions.
The handsome Ming Shu was having a headache. He had just been blinded by willow catkins and then bumped into the girl's carriage, crippling her horse.
The girl immediately started throwing a tantrum, crying and demanding that they give her a horse.
“Miss, I’ll give you a hundred taels of silver. That’s enough for your groom to buy three more horses in the town ahead. Why do you insist on my horse?” Ming Shu said to Lin Jinyu politely, accepting his bad luck.
Lin Jinyu cried out, "No! My father is catching up soon, I have to leave quickly, you must compensate me for your horse..."
Ming Shu looked at his master with a troubled expression.
The master's androgynous handsome face was hidden deep within the veil, with only his eyes peeking out from the somber shadows as he slightly raised them to glance at Ming Shu.
That one glance sent chills down Ming Shu's spine, and he hurriedly asked for more money, when suddenly he heard a voice as beautiful as heavenly music.
"Ayu!"
Everyone looked back and were greeted by a ray of rosy light.
A slender and beautiful figure ran towards us, her radiant face bathed in sunlight, as if enveloped in a bright light.
The close-fitting upper garment with lotus-flower sleeves clung to her snow-white skin, and underneath was a long, pleated lotus-colored skirt that looked extremely elegant. A few rose-red plum blossoms adorned the sleeves and hem of the skirt, making it seem like a unique and beautiful sight in the world.
A snow-white jade pendant was casually inserted into her hair bun, and her black hair was as black as ink, which further accentuated her ethereal beauty and jade-like appearance, making her extremely radiant.
Everyone: "..."
He held his breath, his eyes fixed on the person in front of him.
The man under the veil raised his eyes slightly, and his eyes narrowed slightly when he saw Su Xuerong leap off her horse.
A youthful face with the same beautiful eyes flashed through my mind; I never imagined she had grown up...
Su Xuerong completely ignored the men's gazes towards her, skillfully leaped off her horse and walked towards Lin Jinyu, grabbing her hand and her eyes immediately reddening: "Silly girl, I've finally won you over!"
Lin Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the person who came was not Lin Chenggui. She wiped away her tears and avoided her gaze guiltily: "You, why are you here?"
