Chapter 13: Collecting the Relics



Su Nuan walked from the tool shed into the living room of the main building. She looked around and didn't see Eric, so she knew he was in her grandfather's room. Su Nuan went upstairs and walked to the door of her grandfather's room.

In the room, Eric and two or three maids were sorting out his grandfather's clothes and packing them in boxes. He looked up and glanced casually, and saw Su Nuan standing outside the door, staring at the room in silence.

Eric walked a few steps to Su Nuan

"Miss, you're here. I've almost finished packing, but the master and his wife have a lot of clothes. It's not convenient to take them back home. What do you think we should do with them?"

"Uncle housekeeper, please gather up some of my grandfather's and my parents' collections and jewelry and have a few people put them in my room. I will have someone transport the finances and jewelry in the basement back to China tonight. As for the clothes, seal them all up and have someone put them in the basement tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Miss."

After Eric finished speaking, he immediately instructed several maids to pack up quickly. Seeing that everyone was busy, Su Nuan did not disturb them. She stood outside the door, looking at the room that was both familiar and unfamiliar, and felt very sad. Su Nuan knew that this was the sadness left by the original owner.

Su Nuan took a deep breath and turned back to her room.

Returning to her room, she sat in front of the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror. She was a beautiful and bright girl, but there was a trace of sadness between her brows and her eyes were red. Su Nuan raised her hand and rubbed her face hard, shaking her head, as if this could alleviate her sadness.

After calming down, Su Nuan moved the jewelry box on the dressing table to the front and opened it. The first layer of the jewelry box contained necklaces, the second layer contained rings and earrings, the third layer contained bracelets, and the last layer contained the dagger that the original owner had used to commit suicide. Su Nuan had put it in the jewelry box when she was making the bed.

Looking at these jewels, most of them were given to the original owner by Grandpa Su and Su's father and mother. The original owner had always cherished them. As Su Nuan looked at them, tears flowed down her face involuntarily. The sadness was for the original owner as well as Su Nuan's own. Seeing these, she recalled the pain and helplessness of her own parents' death.

Su Nuan didn't want to be immersed in sadness, so she raised her hand to close the jewelry box and put it into the space.

At this time, there was a knock on the door

Su Nuan stood up and walked to the door to open it

Eric stood outside the door and said, "The young lady, the master, the gentleman and the lady's jewelry collection is all here. Where do you think we should put it?"

Su Nuan looked over and saw four or five bodyguards outside the door, carrying five boxes and standing in the corridor waiting.

"Come in, just put it on the floor of the room. I'll make arrangements later."

"Yes, Miss."

After saying this, Eric signaled the bodyguard to carry the things to the room. The bodyguard put the things away, bowed and left.

Su Nuan and Eric stood in the room.

"Uncle housekeeper, are you free now? I want to talk to you."

"Miss, are you free?"

"Okay, follow me."

After saying that, Su Nuan walked out of the room and went to the study on the second floor. It turned out that the study on the second floor was where grandpa and dad worked at home. The original owner often studied in the study before, so Su Nuan was also very familiar with the study.

The two entered the study and sat face to face. Su Nuan said directly

"Uncle housekeeper, you have been in the Su family for more than ten years, and I grew up under your care."

"Yes, Miss, time flies by so fast, you have grown up."

Su Nuan pursed her lips and smiled

"As you know, I'm about to return to China. This is the last wish of my grandfather and parents. I must go back, but China has just been developed, and it's inconvenient for foreigners to live there. So this time I plan to return alone. I want to leave this manor to you and Mary. You are both orphans and have been in the Su family for more than ten years. Why don't you stay here and spend your retirement there?"

Eric was shocked after hearing this. Although he had some guesses in his mind, he still couldn't accept it when he heard the young lady say it. He and Mary both grew up in the slums. Mary was his sister, and the two siblings depended on each other for survival. He almost died of illness at the time, and it was Mary who stole Mr. Su's wallet in desperation and wanted to go back to save her brother, but was caught by Mr. Su's bodyguards.

After learning that Mary was stealing the wallet to save her sick brother, the kind-hearted Mr. Su took Mary to see Eric in person. That's how he learned about the brother and sister's situation. Mr. Su not only took Eric to see a doctor, but also took them home. Although they were just housekeepers and cooks, the Su family treated them like family, and Eric never thought of leaving the Su family.

Eric thought for a long time.

"Miss, you know Mary and I are orphans. The Su family is our home. Without the Su family, we have no home. I know it's not convenient for you to take us back to China, but we still want to go with you. Even if we can't take care of you, we can be closer to you."

"I know that Hongcheng is a colony of Country Y, and it's very close to Huaxia. Mary and I are from Country Y. We can go to Hongcheng, which is closer to you. If you have time, you can come to Hongcheng to see us, okay?"

"Do you really want to go with you and me, maybe you won't be able to come back in your lifetime?"

"We are willing, please help us, Miss." Eric stood up and bowed.

Su Nuan quickly helped Eric up and compromised.

"Okay, but the Su family is now under the control of the A government, so it's difficult to leave the country. You can't go with me. I'll contact Yu Cheng later. Jianye Group is in the shipping business, so they have channels to arrange for you to leave by ship. But if you two are worried, go ask the bodyguards if there is anyone willing to return to the country with me. If they are willing, I'll take them back with me."

"Okay, ma'am, I'll go right away."

After saying that, Eric hurried out. Looking at his cheerful footsteps, he must be very happy.

Su Nuan sat in the study, shaking her head and laughing.
