Chapter 244: Layout (5th update)
"Xin'er, she's not Yun'er!" Su Zhongkang said hurriedly, "Don't get excited!"
"Impossible, this is Yun'er!" The old woman was Su Zhongkang's wife, Su Liu. Su Liu looked at Yuan Ziyu without blinking. The kindness and guilt in her eyes made Yuan Ziyu feel a pain in his heart.
Su Liu looked at Yuan Ziyu for a long while, then muttered to herself, "No, it's been almost twenty years. Yun'er can't be the same as before. No, no, my Yun'er should be old enough to be a mother!"
As she spoke, disappointment appeared on Su Liu's face and two lines of tears fell.
Yuan Ziyu hurried forward and took Su Liu's hand: "Grandma!"
The word "grandmother" made Su Liushi stunned for a moment. She held Yuan Ziyu's hand tightly, looked at Yuan Ziyu's face carefully, and asked in a trembling voice: "You...what did you call me? Call me again."
"Grandma!" Yuan Ziyu called out again hurriedly.
"Xin'er, this is Yun'er's daughter!" Su Zhongkang also shed tears and said to Su Liu while wiping his tears.
"Really...really!" Su Liu asked with a trembling voice.
"Grandma, I am your granddaughter. My name is Yuan Ziyu!" Yuan Ziyu said hurriedly.
"Su Liu's surname was Yuan?" She looked at Yuan Ziyu with wide eyes and muttered to herself, "Yes, that's right. That kid's surname was Yuan. Is she really my granddaughter?"
"Yes, Grandma!"
"My granddaughter!" Su Liu hugged Yuan Ziyu and burst into tears. Yuan Ziyu's face was very similar to Liu's, which made Su Liu miss her and worry about her even more. She couldn't stop crying!
Yuan Ziyou was worried that Su Liushi was too excited, so she hurriedly said, "Grandma, don't get excited. You'll be able to see mother soon!"
Slowly, Su Liu was persuaded to change her mind.
Su Liu finally stopped crying, but she refused to let go of Yuan Ziyu's hand, repeatedly asking: "Where is your mother? Is your mother okay? Is she eating well? Is she taking good care of herself? Is your father good to your mother?"
Yuan Ziyou hurriedly answered them with a smile. Hearing that Liu was fine, Su Liushi felt relieved. She held Yuan Ziyou's hand again and looked at her carefully: "You are so much like your mother!"
"Everyone says so!" Yuan Ziyu sat beside Su Liu with a smile, allowing Su Liu to look at him.
"Alright!" Su Zhongkang spoke again. "Now that we've met him, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. By the way, Xin'er, this is You'er's fiancé. Take a look, isn't he nice?"
Yuan Ziyu also hurriedly said: "Grandma, this is Huo Xifei, my fiancé!"
Huo Xifei hurried forward and saluted, saying, "Xifei greets Grandmother!"
"Okay, okay!" Although Su Liu was weak and had just cried bitterly, her face actually had some color because of the news that she had a daughter and actually saw her granddaughter. She looked better than before.
"Grandma, let You'er take your pulse!" Yuan Ziyu said, and put his hand on Su Liu's wrist.
Su Liushi was surprised: "You'er, you can also take pulses?"
"You are quite knowledgeable about medicine!" Yuan Ziyu said with a smile, and then concentrated on taking the patient's pulse.
"How is it?" Su Zhongkang had been waiting nervously on the side. When he saw Yuan Ziyu let go of Su Liu's wrist, he asked hurriedly.
"Grandma is weak and needs to be taken care of!"
Yuan Ziyu thought for a moment, then used her purse to take out three bottles of pills from the Qiongjiang Pavilion and handed them to Su Zhongkang: "Grandfather, these are some pills I made myself to strengthen your body. You, Grandmother, and Uncle should take two pills every day. Although they won't completely cure your illness, they will be good for your health. Especially since you've been in so much trouble over the years, you need to build up your foundation first so you can recuperate later."
"Okay, I've got that. Don't worry, I will hide the pills and give them to them on time!" Su Zhongkang took the pills and nodded quickly.
"And you, don't forget to eat!" Yuan Ziyu instructed.
"good!"
"Grandfather, what exactly happened back then?" Yuan Ziyu asked.
Speaking of those days, Su Zhongkang's face showed anger: "I was blind back then. I actually mistook the jackal for a benefactor. I really didn't expect that those people would set up such a big game just to get what belongs to my Su family!"
It turns out that the ancestors of the Su family were actually royal family members of the previous dynasty.
When the previous dynasty fell, in order to preserve the bloodline, Su Zhongkang's branch was secretly sent out and changed its surname to Su. Also brought out were the previous dynasty's imperial seal and treasure map.
It is said that the gold, silver and treasures hidden in the treasure trove are enough to fill the treasury of an entire country.
The head of the Su family has been carefully keeping this matter a secret for generations. The Su family now no longer has the intention to seize power and restore the country, and all they are guarding is the thought of their ancestors.
But who knew that Su Chengwei and his people somehow found out about this matter, and they made an elaborate plan. Huang Suixiao first approached Su Zhongkang as his savior, intending to use their friendship to find out the location of the treasure.
Unfortunately, Su Zhongkang was a master at keeping secrets, so Huang Suixiao came up with the idea of marriage. In this way, Huang Lu would become a member of the Su family and would naturally be qualified to know the secrets of the Su family in the future.
But who knew that Yuan Qifeng would appear out of nowhere and take over the plot. Su Zhongkang couldn't persuade Su Zhiyun, so he agreed to the marriage between Su Zhiyun and Yuan Qifeng, and also drove Su Zhiyun out of the Su family.
This time, Huang Suixiao was so angry that he showed his true colors, intending to force Su Zhongkang to hand over the treasure map and the imperial seal. However, he didn't know that everyone in the Su family was a tough guy. Huang Suixiao couldn't get enough of it, so he beat Su Hongzheng every day to vent his anger. Even after a year, he still couldn't get Su Zhongkang to give in.
Finally, the Su family received a letter from Liu, and Huang Suixiao used Liu to threaten Su Zhongkang. Finally, Su Zhongkang confessed and gave up his position as the head of the Su family, but he would not tell them about the treasure map and the imperial seal until twenty years later.
Later, Su Chengwei became the head of the Su family, and Su Chengwei was Huang Lu.
"Grandfather, why did you say twenty years? And those people also agreed?" Yuan Ziyu was shocked. If you calculate it this way, wouldn't this plan have lasted for more than thirty years?
Who, after all, spent so many years setting up this scheme? What was their purpose? After all, even if the person who set it up was only in his twenties or thirties, he would have to be in his fifties or sixties by now.
"I agree!" Su Zhongkang said with a smile, "What a coincidence! In my early years, I once met a great monk who told me that if a fatal disaster befell my family, it should be delayed until I was sixty years old. By then, if it can be resolved, it will naturally be resolved!"
"What if it can't be solved?" Yuan Ziyu asked hurriedly.
"Then there will be no return!"
