Feng'er is the village's most talented man; what he said must be true.
If that's the case, then wouldn't I become the emperor's mother-in-law?
Suddenly, Madam Yao felt that her foot didn't hurt so much anymore. She immediately stood up and urged, "Let's go, let's go! Don't rest anymore. Let's get to the capital quickly so that the Emperor's men can find us sooner."
Upon hearing this, Yao Huihui perked up. "Yes, Mother is right. Brother, let's hurry to the capital. Get up!" Yao Huihui pulled Yao Qingfeng up.
The three of them started walking on the road again.
Not long after, Yao Huihui suddenly stopped. "Listen, can you hear the sound of a horse-drawn carriage?"
Upon hearing Yao Huihui's words, the other two also stopped, seemingly having heard the sound of the carriage as well.
The three turned around excitedly and, sure enough, saw a carriage approaching them from not far away. The carriage looked quite large.
“Great, Mother, let’s ask the carriage owner for a ride.”
Yao Zhang did not want to go to the capital himself, so he would not refuse Yao Huihui's suggestion.
Yao Huihui waved to the carriage from the roadside.
The carriage stopped, and before anyone inside could ask a question, Yao Huihui, supporting Yao Zhangshi with a pitiful expression, said to the driver:
"Brother, my mother, brother, and I are visiting relatives in the capital. We've been traveling under the scorching sun all this way, and my mother fainted from heatstroke and only recently regained consciousness. I wonder if you could be so kind as to give us a ride?"
"Brother, please have mercy. We'll find our relatives in the capital, and we'll definitely pay for the journey once we get there," Yao Qingfeng added.
The person who gave them the letter had given them one hundred taels of silver, but before they exposed the Su family, Yao Zhangshi, fearing something might happen, secretly hid the money, and now she is penniless.
Once we get back to the capital, we can simply take out the money; it will be enough to pay for the carriage, let alone the fare, and even buy the carriage itself.
Just then, a man's voice came from inside the carriage, "Let them get on."
"Yes," the driver replied, gesturing for the three to get into the carriage.
The three of them were overjoyed and hurriedly boarded the carriage, completely unaware that the man's accent was a bit strange.
The carriage drove off, and soon after, three muffled groans were heard from inside, followed by blood seeping from the carriage.
After all the sounds ceased, the carriage turned around and headed in another direction, and the forest road returned to tranquility.
By the time Su Ruojin received the news about Yao Zhangshi and the other two, they were already dead and had been thrown into a mass grave.
"The other party acted quite quickly," Su Ruojin said to Xiao Yanchu.
Xiao Yanchu nodded. "It seems that someone behind the scenes made the move. I've already sent people to investigate."
Since the other party has taken action, they will inevitably leave traces.
"Um."
Since Xiao Yanchu had already sent someone to investigate, Su Ruojin didn't want to waste any more time on it, but she thought of another problem.
"The Su family is fine now, what do you think Su Muyao's reaction will be?"
“Your fifth brother’s wedding is in six days, then you’ll find out,” Xiao Yanchu said.
The Su family had just gone through a calamity and barely made it through. In Madam Su's words, the Su family needed a happy event to shake off the bad luck.
Given that Xing Yue was pregnant, it was not appropriate to delay any longer. Madam Su chose the nearest auspicious day to hold another wedding for the two children in Da Chu.
Although time is a bit tight, this is the Great Chu. With the power of the Su family and Su Yiting's money, what is there that is too late?
However, Xing Yue's wedding seemed to be arranged rather hastily, whether in Yunqi or Da Chu. Fearing that Xing Yue might have some reservations, Madam Su specially brought Su Ruojin to the Fifth Prince's courtyard.
