Zhou Mingjia kept admitting his mistake, and Su Nuannuan waved her hand and said to Madam Liu, "Mother, I have to rush back to the mansion immediately. Let Honglian and Xiangyun come and pack up the things here for me." After that, she turned around and asked Zhou Mingjia, "Did you come here by carriage?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhou Mingjia nodded repeatedly: "Madam asked the best carriage in the mansion to come and pick up Grandma, saying that she is pregnant now, so we can't be careless."
Su Nuannuan nodded and didn't waste any more words with her. She got on the carriage under Mrs. Liu's earnest instructions, and then Zhou Ming's wife also got on. When the whip sounded outside, the carriage started to move forward.
"How did he die suddenly? Tell me in detail."
When they came out, those who were waiting to join in were still squatting on the street. When they saw Su Nuannuan, some of their eyes lit up, but unfortunately the other party got on the carriage immediately, and they didn't even have the chance to attack. Su Nuannuan didn't bother to look at them here. After getting on the carriage, she asked directly about Zhou Ming's family.
"I don't know exactly what happened. I only know that Grandma Yun was fine this morning. She came to pay her respects to Madam and sat with the old lady for a while. When the kitchen sent someone to deliver lunch at noon, the daughter-in-law told me that Grandma Yun sent a maid to the kitchen to get a bowl of ginseng and angelica chicken soup. Who knew that before Madam had finished her meal, a little maid from Xia Yuxuan came to report in a panic that Grandma Yun was dying and asked to call a doctor. Madam was so scared that she rushed over immediately. I followed her. When I got there, I saw Grandma Yun grabbing her neck, her face purple and swollen. Before our Madam could say a word, she...she was dead. The scene was really scary. Poor Ming'er, he watched his mother die in front of him at such a young age, and it was so miserable. Alas!"
Su Nuannuan frowned and said nothing. Xu Ranyun's symptoms seemed to be acute laryngitis, but acute laryngitis shouldn't be this severe, right? Suddenly, Zhou Mingjia said, "Yes, when the doctor came later, Grandma Yun's hands and face were all covered with red rashes. The imperial physician said that this was something her body couldn't handle. So the rash made her short of breath. Usually, it's not this severe. Grandma Yun's condition is very rare."
After she said that, Su Nuannuan understood and blurted out, "It seems that the death was caused by allergies." After she finished speaking, she saw Zhou Mingjia looking at her in confusion, so she coughed and said, "It's just that she is sensitive to certain things. Grandma Yun has nothing that she never eats. Do you know?"
After the voice fell, Zhou Mingjia shook his head and said, "This. I have never heard of it... What? Grandma, did you think of something?"
Su Nuannuan shook her head solemnly and said, "It's nothing. I just heard that some people can't eat certain things. If they eat them, they will feel uncomfortable and have rashes all over their body. In serious cases, their lives may be in danger..."
Before she could finish, Zhou Mingjia clapped his hands and said, "Grandma is right. Didn't Grandma Yun have rashes all over her body? It's scary to look at. The imperial physician also said that she ate something that didn't suit her. Her body couldn't handle it, so she died so quickly."
After saying that, he shook his head and sighed, "This is really a sudden disaster. Everything was fine before." After saying that, he looked at Su Nuannuan again, but quickly looked away.
Su Nuannuan was depressed. She knew that it was not just Zhou Ming's family that was suspicious. She was afraid that everyone in the mansion would doubt her: How could it be such a coincidence? Grandma Yun died less than five days after Grandma went to her parents' home? It seemed as if Grandma knew that Grandma Yun would die, so she deliberately hid back to her parents' home to avoid suspicion. Otherwise, why would she go back when her parents' home was in such a state?
This is not anyone's fault. If this happened to someone else, Su Nuannuan would also be one of the suspects. But there is no need to say anything at the moment. Let's go back and take a look. If Xu Ranyun really died suddenly, it must be her retribution. If someone takes this opportunity to make a move and wants to frame me, I have to get to the bottom of it.
Thinking like this, I don't know how much time has passed, the carriage arrived at Anping Marquis Mansion, Su Nuannuan got off the carriage in a hurry, and when she entered the door, she saw the gatekeeper coming to greet her, so she asked, "Is the young marquis back?"
"I'm back, a quarter of an hour earlier than grandma. My office is closer than grandma's home."
The gatekeeper replied quickly, and then watched Su Nuannuan get on the sedan chair that had been prepared earlier and hurried all the way to Xia Yuxuan. The gatekeeper shook her head and muttered, "It's only been quiet for a few days, and there's a wave again. I'm afraid there will be a big show to watch this time."
Su Nuannuan hurried to Xia Yuxuan and saw Duan Maoming sitting on the steps as soon as he entered the door, his hands hugging his knees and his head lowered. The nanny and several maids were trying to persuade him, saying, "My little ancestor, please go back soon. It's almost winter now. If you sit here in the wind and get sick, we will be in big trouble. Please at least have pity on us..."
Duan Maoming turned a deaf ear to her. Suddenly, he heard a gentle voice: "Ming'er." He looked up suddenly and saw Su Nuannuan not far away. He stood up and ran over. When he got close, he hugged Su Nuannuan's thighs and cried bitterly: "Auntie, my mother... my mother is dead... Wuuuu... Auntie, I'm scared. Will my mother never talk to me again... Wuuuu..."
Duan Maoming was usually a well-known little bully in the mansion, but at this moment he was crying bitterly, which made Su Nuannuan feel sad. She picked him up and choked up, "Although Ming'er's mother will no longer talk to Ming'er, she has just gone to a very far place. She is watching you all the time. Ming'er, you have to work hard and study hard. If you have a bright future, your mother will feel relieved." As soon as she finished speaking, tears fell, not for Xu Ranyun, but for the child in front of her who had lost his mother.
"Grandma, put my son down quickly, you are still alive."
The maids and old women came over, but Su Nuannuan ignored them and pressed Duan Maoming's head against her shoulder, letting him cry for a long time before handing him over to Mi, saying softly, "My brother was frightened and is tired. You take him back and give him a bowl of soothing soup so that he can have a good sleep."
"Yes." Mi agreed hurriedly. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard Su Nuannuan say, "Xia Yuxuan will probably not have peace in the future. You should take your brother to Chunfeng Garden and ask Honglian to take good care of him."
"Yes." Mi also had the same thought in her mind, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. Seeing Su Nuannuan's thoughtful consideration, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But she heard Duan Maoming crying, "I don't... I don't want to leave, I want to stay with my mother..."
"Ming'er, be obedient. Your father and I are here." Su Nuannuan wiped the tears from the little guy and forced a smile, "When everything is settled, I will inevitably... let you meet your mother..." Before she finished her words, she felt a soreness in her nose and couldn't help crying again.
