Yun Wenfang's words made Yun Wenting stunned for a moment, and then he could only smile bitterly and sigh.
Yun Qiuchen took Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi to say goodbye to Old Lady Yun. Old Lady Yun naturally tried her best to keep them, but Xiao Jinglin insisted on leaving, and the Yun family didn't want to force him to stay too much, so in the end they had no choice but to let Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi leave the Yun family.
When the eldest lady of the Yun family and Yun Qiuchen were about to send the two out of the second gate, the maid from the gatehouse came in and reported that the eldest aunt had returned.
Ren Yaoqi was wondering who this eldest aunt was, and then he remembered that Old Lady Yun’s eldest daughter, Yun Shuhe, married Su Keqin, the eldest master of the Su family, so this eldest aunt should be the eldest wife of the Su family.
In recent years, the Yun family and the Su family have been secretly in dispute over various interests. However, when the old King of Yanbei was alive, the two families had made compromises with each other in order to stabilize the situation in Yanbei. The marriage between the Su family and the Yun family was a signal of compromise and peace between the two sides.
Ren Yaoqi subconsciously glanced at Madam Yun. When Madam Yun heard the news that the eldest aunt had arrived, she was stunned at first and frowned slightly, but then she quickly calmed herself down and turned around to tell the maid to report to Madam Yun immediately.
Xiao Jinglin said, "This place is not far from the second gate. If the eldest lady has something to do, please go back first."
Madam Yun smiled kindly, "Nothing's wrong. It's just a few steps away. The old lady told me to escort the princess out. By the way, has the princess met our eldest aunt?"
Yun Qiuchen interrupted with a smile, "Mother, the princess rarely comes to visit, and my aunt rarely comes back throughout the year. I'm afraid I haven't seen her."
Xiao Jinglin thought for a moment: "The eldest wife of the Su family? I've met her a few times in other occasions, but never in the Yun family."
As they spoke, they saw several people exit the underground door leading to the front courtyard. Leading the way was a middle-aged woman, roughly the same age as Madam Yun, also beautiful. However, compared to Madam Yun, who was born in Jiangnan, this woman's face held a certain dignified air. Even as she smiled and tilted her head slightly to speak to a woman half a step behind her, she still possessed a hidden authority.
The woman obviously saw them as well. The smile on her face became more obvious and she quickened her pace to meet them.
"Sister-in-law...eh? The princess is here too?"
As she spoke, the woman bowed to Xiao Jinglin and Madam Yun very readily, and the short woman following behind her also bowed her head and followed her in bowing.
"Aunt is back?" Madam Yun greeted her with a warm smile, "The princess is about to go back, and my mother asked me to see her off. Oh, is this the eldest lady of the Su family?" Madam Yun shifted her gaze to the young woman.
"Yes, this is Brother Yu's daughter-in-law. The child had trouble acclimatizing to the local climate a while ago and was in a lot of trouble. That's why she rarely showed up. Now that she's better, I brought her here to meet the elders from her mother's family." Mrs. Su glanced at her daughter-in-law behind her, her face full of satisfaction.
Upon hearing this, Ren Yaoqi looked up and looked at the woman.
The eldest young lady of the Su family? She had never met the eldest young lady of the Su family, but she knew that the woman who married into the Su family from Kyoto was surnamed Zeng and was Zeng Kui's niece. Zeng Kui's subsequent secret relationship with the Su family was largely due to this Zeng.
Zeng had recently married into the Su family. Although dressed like a woman, her face still looked somewhat youthful. She was petite compared to the women of Yanbei. Perhaps due to her young age and the fact that her face hadn't fully developed, her features could only be described as delicate. At her mother-in-law's invitation, she lowered her head, shyly approaching to speak, truly docile and well-behaved.
