When they met the Duke and Duchess of Ping, they hugged Su Nuannuan and cried bitterly. They were overjoyed to hear that they and their son would be able to return to the capital soon. After experiencing such a sudden disaster, the Duke and Duchess, as well as their two sons who were also doing hard labor in Niutou Mountain, had let it go. Compared to the extravagant and luxurious life, safety is the most important thing.
The family was reunited for two days. Calculating that there was still more than a month until the Mid-Autumn Festival, Duan Tingxuan and Su Nuannuan finally became anxious, knowing that if they couldn't return to Anping Marquis Mansion by August 15, they would have to wait to be beaten by the old lady.
Su Nuannuan had the cooking skills to rely on, so the old lady would not do anything, so the young marquis had to bear all the anger. The prince was unwilling to abandon this person, and Long Pingzhang had escaped death and was anxious to go back to see his parents, so the two groups discussed and decided to follow the arrangement made a few days ago, and let Su Nuannuan and Chu Xiu dress up as men, ride together, and take a few good horses, and take advantage of the clear autumn weather to gallop to the capital.
"Madam, the prince and the grandmother are already outside the second gate. The grandmother has gone back to change her clothes, and the eldest master has been called to the study by the master. He will be here soon."
Zhou Mingjia was smiling and talking in front of Old Lady Fang, and sure enough, she heard the old lady scolding her with a smile: "I'm waiting so long, but they're still taking advantage of me. They must think I'm too good to them, so they're getting too proud of me, aren't they?"
Liu Min quickly laughed and said, "The old lady knows. I'm not saying that you spoil them too much, which is why they are so lawless. They even ran to Niutou Mountain. I wonder how many people in our house miss them. But this also shows that the old lady is kind and benevolent. Tingxuan and his wife dare to be arrogant because of their favor. If it were the strict old lady, would they dare to do that?"
Old Lady Fang laughed, not bothering to think about how much provocation there was in these words. Madam Yang's son's position has become more stable, and the backyard is much more peaceful than before, so the paranoia has not recurred for a long time. People are also more calm. At this time, she heard Liu Min's words. She couldn't help but feel proud in her heart, thinking to herself, you have a day to jump up and down like this, what's the point? It just makes people understand your shallowness more.
Yin explained calmly, "Don't worry, old lady. We are all back in the mansion, are you afraid that they will run away again? After rushing back from Niutou Mountain, the couple must be exhausted. How can they come to see you without washing and changing clothes?"
Old Lady Fang said with a smile, "That's what I'm afraid of. When they go back, what will happen? They'll be entangled by the people in the room. I heard that the girl Honglian was supposed to be married off this fall. But because of the willfulness of the couple, they kept dragging it out until now. Now that they see the master, how can they not be anxious to question him? This delay will take another half a day."
Everyone laughed at this. Aunt Jing also smiled and said, "Old lady, please don't underestimate Honglian. She is a very steady and dignified girl. She would never do such a frivolous thing."
"Steady and dignified? Not necessarily." Xu Ranyun sneered at the side: "Why did I hear that she beat up a little girl last month and chased her out? Tsk tsk, this is really the case of a monkey claiming to be king when there is no tiger in the mountain. When the grandmother was around, she was steady and dignified, but when the grandmother was gone, her true colors were revealed. Now that the grandmother is back, let's see what she will say?"
The sarcastic words instantly made the originally lively atmosphere dull. Old Lady Fang looked at Xu Ranyun calmly, frowned slightly, but said nothing. Madam Yang was also angry, but she could do nothing. Since Xu Ranyun lost his power as the housekeeper, he has become more and more cunning, and even has a tendency to become the former Su Mengnuan. Madam Yang had said it to her twice, and she listened to it in person. What happened next was still what happened. She was so angry that she didn't bother to say anything. She just thought that she was someone in her son's room, and she would wait for her son and daughter-in-law to come back to deal with it.
Xue Zhilan lowered her eyebrows and eyes without saying a word, but she sneered in her heart, thinking that she was really impatient. However, after being neglected for some time and losing the power of housekeeper, instead of trying to hide her light and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback, she just gave up like this? Sure enough, falling from a high position suddenly is the most challenging for a person's will. Xu Ranyun was not determined enough and was defeated. This is good, let everyone see your true face, and from now on there is nothing to be afraid of. I just need to think of a way to make Su Mengnuan show her true colors again. Then, I can finally hold my head high. Although this road is very difficult, it is not impossible. It's a pity that Xu Ranyun is in this state now, I am afraid it will be difficult to use... Hmm! Don't say it, maybe she will be easier to use in this state, hehe...
Liu Min also looked at Duan Tingxuan's wives and concubines coldly, thinking to herself: As expected, with the return of Duan Tingxuan and Su Mengnuan, will the first house be in turmoil again? That's good, I'm afraid they will accept their fate and behave themselves from now on. I have to have a good discussion with Tingye and Yurou when I go back, and give them a warning. They are two people without ambition. They are blinded by money and give up the position of the prince? Bastards, where do you put my efforts and hard work for so long?"
Everyone was thinking about their own things. For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was silent and a little cold. Just at this moment, the little girl who was opening the curtain outside the door said happily, "Grandma is here?"
"Yeah, here I come."
Su Nuannuan arrived before she did, and her voice, as clear and sweet as a silver bell, said outside the door: "Here, this is a reward for the two of you. This is fruit-flavored candy. Keep it as a snack."
After she finished speaking, she stepped into the room. The two little girls happily thanked her behind her. She had already turned around the screen and saw a room full of people. She stepped forward and bowed, smiling, "Granddaughter-in-law greets the old lady..."
Before she could finish her words, she heard Old Lady Fang interrupt her and said, "Don't rush to greet me. I want to ask you, what candy? You haven't forgotten to tinker with new things after being out for so many days? Bring it to me quickly. If it tastes good, I won't mind you and Xuan'er being out for so long without permission."
"Don't worry, old lady. My grandfather and I know that we have been hanging around outside for so long, causing you to worry about us at home. This is really a serious sin. In order to avoid being punished, I worked hard in our inn outside the capital for a whole day yesterday. Wait, old lady, just check whether you are satisfied with my bribe. If not, I am willing to be punished."
This sentence made everyone laugh. Madam Yang pointed at Su Nuannuan and scolded, "You bastard, how dare you say such a thing? What do you mean by bribery? Who do you think this old lady is?"
Su Nuannuan said quickly, "Madam, don't worry. Granddaughter-in-law always takes care of everything. Madam, it's natural that I can't miss any help here. There are also Madam Min, my second brother's wife, Aunt Lin's second daughter, Sister Yun and Sister Lan. In short, I have considered all those who can help speak in front of the old lady. In addition, we left Jiangnan in a hurry that day, and my second brother also has property in Jiangnan, so we didn't prepare anything. It was not until we left Liaodong that we got some special products, and I will send them to everyone's room later. How about it? I've put it here. If anyone doesn't help to plead for mercy, but instead fan the flames, don't blame me for being stingy. Go and get the things back."
As she spoke, everyone laughed. Liu Min pointed at her and said, "Look, old lady, you've become even more arrogant after going out. Yes, I dare not say more. If the specialty products I got are lost again, who will I cry to?"
Old Lady Fang looked at Su Nuannuan's graceful and elegant appearance, and she liked her more and more. She laughed and said, "She knows how to behave. I wanted to punish her, but she came up and used all these things to gag me. Not only that, she also won you over. Well, I don't have to be the bad guy anymore." After saying that, she waved to Su Nuannuan, "Come and sit next to me. Let me see if you have lost weight?"
"Old lady, my granddaughter-in-law is doing well." Su Nuannuan walked briskly to sit in front of Old Lady Fang, and then greeted Duan Xinqi on the other side of the old lady, "Second sister is getting more and more beautiful, how is she? I heard that you have been engaged to someone, and the other party is a very outstanding talent, which is really good. I will help Madam to arrange things for you, and you will definitely have a grand wedding."
To the second girl, Su Nuannuan is not only her elder sister-in-law, but also a great benefactor who gave her a new life. She didn't realize it when they were together day and night before, but after Su Nuannuan and the young marquis left for a few months, the second girl moved around everywhere and began to appreciate the goodness of her elder sister-in-law. Now that she finally saw her back, the second girl was so excited that she couldn't even speak. Unexpectedly, the elder sister-in-law said this, which made the little girl become quail, hanging her head and blushing, and she couldn't say a word.
Old Lady Fang said with a smile: "Don't tease her, she's a little girl. She thinks everyone is as fierce as you. She said she was fine, but why has her face become thinner?"
Su Nuannuan quickly climbed onto Grandma Fang's arm and said with a smile, "Grandma, you are really living a good life. The reason why I lost a little weight is because I miss you so much. Grandma, I miss you so much."
"Bah! Stop trying to coax me with words. If you missed us so much, why didn't you say you would come back earlier?" Old Lady Fang pretended to be angry, but Su Nuannuan laughed and said, "I can't help it. Dad and Mom have been in Niutou Mountain for two years. I miss them and I'm afraid they are tortured beyond recognition, so I urged Grandpa to go visit them. This was all my granddaughter-in-law's idea. Old lady, please don't blame our Grandpa. He is a good grandson and wanted to come back earlier, but he was delayed by too many things."
"That's good. After going out, you've become more considerate to your husband. You've become all the good people here." Old Lady Fang laughed. Although her tone seemed to be making fun of Su Nuannuan, she was really happy in her heart. Suddenly, the voice of the little girl outside rang again, "Second Madam is coming."
