Chapter 98 Chapter 98 It really damages her image as a noble lady
"The new emperor's attitude is unclear, but he personally congratulated my father-in-law during the morning court." Su Guanzhang replied, looking at Xuan Jinyu worriedly.
But Xuan Jinyu just listened quietly, and even when she heard the name of the new emperor, she didn't show any emotion at all.
After five months of mourning, she had learned to suppress all her hatred deep in her heart. Su Guanzhang was right. Only by removing him from the throne could he be made to pay for his grandfather's death.
She can wait.
Xu Yu Niang followed Su Guanzhang's gaze towards Xuan Jinyu and changed the subject, "What does the letter say?"
Su Guanzhang noticed his wife was in good spirits, so he looked away. He replied, "My father-in-law said the Su, Xuan, and Lin families are all ready to welcome us to the capital."
When they learned that they had finally reached the bottom of the cliff, several families were very happy and made preparations early to welcome them back to Beijing.
At the Su family's, Lin Qingwan, worried that the family had not yet arrived in the capital, made a special trip and found that the housekeeper had already led a group of servants to take care of the house affairs smoothly.
"My husband said that they will arrive in the capital in two days." Xu Yu Niang took the letter written by Su Sheng from Su Guanzhang's hand and said to Old Madam Su.
Su Guanzhang looked over. Xu Yu Niang realized something and glanced at the time Su Sheng wrote the letter. She changed her words and said, "My husband and the children will be able to enter the capital tomorrow. Someone will come down south to meet us."
Madam Su nodded, relieved, "Not bad."
If the Su family can successfully enter the capital, then there will definitely be no more assassinations on their way back. Now the people of the world are watching!
Although the rumor was outrageous, it attracted the attention of the people, which was a good thing.
Having said that, just in case, Su Sheng still arranged for secret guards to escort them south.
"Zhang boy, you will arrange when to leave for Beijing." Old Lady Su said to Su Guanzhang.
It is now mid-to-late July, autumn has arrived, the weather has become slightly cooler, and everyone has changed into autumn clothes.
They were also traveling with Lan Jie'er, who was less than a year old. The journey would have been very slow. They had a plan, like Su Guanmian and the children, who had been hiding all the way, and it took them three months to get from Tongcheng to Huaizhao County.
It would take them less than three months to get from Huaizhao County to Beijing, but it would take at least two months due to the cold weather and difficult roads.
If they don't set off now, they are afraid they will be trapped on the road when the road is blocked by heavy snow.
"We will set off tomorrow." Su Guanzhang made the decision quickly.
Their belongings had already been packed, and they were ready to leave at any time, the sooner the better. As for the people who were rushing south from Shengjing City to escort them, they would meet up along the way.
"Grandma, Mother, I want to hold a birthday party for Sister Lan in the capital." He said that this was the decision he made after discussing it with Xuan Jinyu.
Calculating the time, if they leave faster, they can arrive in Beijing by the end of September, which should still be in time.
Sister Lan was born and raised at the bottom of the cliff. On her full moon and hundredth day, only she and her husband were there to accompany her and celebrate with her. They couldn't spend her first birthday on the road and hold a big celebration for her.
It was too unfair for her, and they couldn't bear to let her go.
Madam Su and Xu Yu Niang agreed immediately, "Okay, let's give Sister Lan a lively first birthday party."
As they talked, they became excited. "I will write a letter to your father now and ask them to prepare." Before Xu Yu Niang put down the letter, she had already started thinking about the list of guests for the banquet.
Madam Su was giving her advice and occasionally agreeing, "Well, not bad."
Su Guanzhang and Xuan Jinyu were pulled by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and would occasionally say a word or two.
The white falcon was impatient to listen to their chattering, and when it heard the faint laughter of Sister Lan outside the hall, it quickly flew out.
Not long after, Sister Lan's surprised cry of "Wow!" was heard in the hall. This time it was much clearer. It must be Su Shisan who was bringing her here.
The group of people who were discussing the matter couldn't help but smile.
Early the next morning, the gate of the house in Huaizhao County was locked with a heavy iron lock, and the group left the residence where they had lived for nearly a year.
It was Sister Lan's second time riding in a carriage, and she was very excited along the way.
Her childish baby talk was heard along the way, along with the sounds of "Daddy," "Mom, Mom," and the newly learned "Grandpa, Grandpa."
No one knew who she was calling, but as soon as she uttered the word "Zu", Xu Yu Niang and Old Madam Su replied happily at the same time: "Hey", obviously they both thought that Sister Lan was calling them.
But Xuan Jinyu was amused to the point of laughter.
"It's been a really lively journey," she said to Su Guanzhang.
Sister Guanglan was lively and active enough by herself. Ever since she could stand up slowly with the help of others, she no longer liked to crawl. She was always eager to move her short legs and try to walk.
Then, without exception, she would fall back into her father's arms with a "bang".
"You can't be so naughty in front of grandma and great-grandmother." Xuan Jinyu pinched her little face.
The carriage is still moving! She can't be so noisy.
If Xu Yu Niang or Madam Su hadn't been able to hold her up, she would have fallen and been in great pain. If they had caught her, what would have happened if they had injured the two elders?
Sister Lan lived in the house in Huaizhao County for more than ten days. She had contact with Old Madam Su, Xu Yu Niang, and all the secret guards and guards in the mansion. The couple finally discovered their daughter's supernatural powers.
This child, who is still so young, actually knows how to "treat people differently based on their status".
If Xuan Jinyu, Old Madam Su, or Xu Yu Niang held her, she would be like an ordinary baby and would not hurt the three of them when she played.
But if Su Guanzhang or the secret guards or bodyguards played with her, she would get happy and could use her supernatural power to hit people so hard that their arms would become red and swollen.
"Is Su Shier's hand okay?" Xuan Jinyu asked.
That day, when Su Shier was flying with Lan Jie'er in his arms, he was not paying attention and was hit by the extremely excited Lan Jie'er's wave, which caused his left arm to swell up and he had to apply ointment for several days.
Although Su Shisan had reported to her that day that Su Twelve was fine and had recovered significantly after applying the ointment, Xuan Jinyu was skeptical. Her daughter, who could even cry out in pain from being hit by someone as tough as her father, was clearly fine. When she saw Su Twelve that day, her expression was completely out of control.
Su Guanzhang helped Lan Jieer, who was twisting her body in his arms, to stand steady. He replied, "It's okay. People who practice martial arts are not that fragile."
He looked up at her and said, "You don't have to worry. They're having fun playing with Sister Lan. Just let it go."
Xuan Jinyu didn't know what kind of training the Su family and the secret guards had gone through since childhood. How could they take such a minor injury seriously?
The secret guards and imperial guards followed all the way from the capital to Huaizhao County. They knew that the seemingly delicate and fragile mistress Xuan Jinyu actually possessed a supernatural power that was difficult for even a warrior to match.
Now that she knew that the young lady had inherited her divine power, she was only happy and didn't care about the fact that she was injured.
Xuan Jinyu nodded, and looked at her daughter's upper body being held steady by her father, and her feet in small shoes were beginning to move forward restlessly again, and she couldn't help laughing.
"You naughty boy, you never stop for a moment." He was a little too energetic.
She'd only fallen a few times! Perhaps it was because her father held her every time, so she wasn't hurt and even thought it was fun, so she never learned her lesson.
Su Guanzhang rested firmly under Lan Jie'er's armpit, bouncing along with her. He chuckled softly, "When she was first born, she was so quiet. We were worried that she would be too well-behaved and get bullied in the future."
Now, this noisy girl has made them start to worry that she will cause trouble to their elders.
Sister Lan didn't hear her own name, but she heard her father's voice above her head and looked up at him in confusion.
"I didn't say anything bad about you." Su Guanzhang lied to his daughter without changing his expression. "I said our Sister Lan is really amazing."
Sister Lan was extremely satisfied and kept shouting "Ahhh" excitedly.
Soon, the carriage stopped and the guard acting as the coachman knocked on the door, "Sir, Madam, the Madam is here."
Su Guanzhang opened the carriage door.
Xu Yu Niang jumped onto the carriage and ran towards her granddaughter impatiently, "Sister Lan, can I take you over to play with my great-grandmother?"
She stretched out her hands to Lan Jie'er, who was hanging on Su Guanzhang with one leg, and said, "Grandma has prepared some fun for you. Bai Falcon is also in our carriage."
Sister Lan tilted her head and glanced at her, not sure if she understood what her grandmother said.
Su Guanzhang helped her stand up, and she turned back to look at her father.
Su Guanzhang touched her head and said, "Go play with grandma!" He said in a gentle voice.
Sister Lan turned her head back and looked at Xuan Jinyu again.
Xuan Jinyu nodded at her.
So Lan Jie'er twisted her little body with confidence and threw herself into the arms of Xu Yu Niang, who had been holding her out for a long time.
"Our sister Lan is very clever." Xu Yu Niang watched the whole thing from beginning to end, very happy, and kissed her little hand, "That's how it should be. Don't go with others without your parents' permission."
After she finished speaking, she turned to the young couple and said, "I'll take Sister Lan away. Don't worry."
Su Guanzhang nodded, "Mother, you're worried too much. Sister Lan is with mother and grandmother, so we are relieved."
Xu Yu Niang stared at him for a long time, then smiled, holding Lan Jie'er and turned to get off the carriage. She turned around and said to her mother-in-law, "Zhang boy has become a father and he looks like a real person now."
"He actually said polite words to me." Xu Yu Niang repeated her son's words, very happy.
She knew her son had changed a lot, but she had never imagined she would see this side of him. "He's a bit like his older brother," Xu Yu Niang sighed.
Madam Su stroked her great-granddaughter's soft hair and laughed, "You can't say this in front of the child."
Sister Lan is still young now. If she understood the slander against her father in her grandmother's words, she would probably be angry with her grandmother.
Sister Lan stared at her great-grandmother and grandmother for a long time and smiled sweetly at them.
Xu Yu Niang was so soft-hearted that she kissed her granddaughter several times.
"Come, come, Sister Lan, your great-grandmother will teach you how to walk." Old Madam Su felt very itchy when she heard the baby's voice coming from the carriage in front. Now, looking at the lively and active little baby, how could she hold back?
The soft and crisp baby voices scattered on both sides of the road are still there, just in a new carriage.
Xuan Jinyu nestled in Su Guanzhang's arms, holding his big hand and playing with it.
"It's rare to have so much free time." She sighed.
It is really not easy to raise a baby. You have to think about this little one all the time, worrying that she is hungry, urinating, or defecating. You wonder why she is crying again and whether she is feeling unwell.
Before giving birth to a child, Xuan Jinyu lived a secluded life and was very elegant in her speech and behavior.
But after she gave birth to the child, her conversation with Su Guanzhang became:
"Husband, the child has peed."
"Husband, the child is in labor."
It really damages her image as a noble lady.
Now that she was back in the world outside the mountain, with her grandmother and mother-in-law competing to take care of the child, and occasionally a female secret guard helping to hold the child, she felt much more relaxed and briefly regained her image as a dignified and elegant young lady.
Su Guanzhang listened to Xuan Jinyu's complaints, chuckled, and hugged her tightly. "In my heart, you will always be a knowledgeable, elegant, and generous lady."
However, she was not dignified and elegant at all, so Su Guanzhang tactfully did not expose her.
This man changes so quickly. He used to be so taciturn that she wanted to divorce him many times but he didn't change. Now he can even say sweet words.
Xuan Jinyu touched his lips which seemed to be covered with honey and leaned against them.
Su Guanzhang smiled and opened his lips, quickly taking the initiative and kissing her until she was breathless and breathing rapidly.
Sister Lan was taken away by her great-grandmother and grandmother to be kissed. No one disturbed the young couple at this time, and the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became very ambiguous and affectionate.
