Maternal grandfather, maternal uncle?
Qian Youxue didn't have a deep impression of these two people, because the Su family hadn't stepped into the Qian family's door for many years, and the original owner probably had almost forgotten about this relative.
After looking at them carefully, she shook her head: "It's been so many years, I can't even remember what they look like."
“Miss, that is indeed General Su. I visited the Su residence with the young master before. The old general suffered from many chronic illnesses when he was young and was often tormented by pain. The young master visited him a few times to give him acupuncture. I can’t remember wrong,” Yunhe said with certainty.
Why……
So what if it is?
Qian Youxue rubbed her eyes in confusion and pulled Yunhe to hide better.
"Why are you afraid they'll see, Miss?" Yunhe asked, puzzled.
“I feel like I don’t know anyone from the Su family. I heard they haven’t been to the Qian residence in years. My mother went back a few years ago, but hasn’t been back since. The Su family is probably a heartless place.” Qian Youxue deduced based on the situation.
Yun and the others obediently hid, and the two looked in that direction again.
"Father, please don't bother. Look, the imperial physicians are helpless, so many doctors are at a loss, I'm afraid the Prince of War..." Su Ming was trying to persuade his persistent father. Too many eyes were on the Prince of War's residence, and no one wanted to see his father do anything out of line.
"No! Father doesn't believe it. The War King has such a good foundation, there's no reason he wouldn't be able to stand up. Go, find the young master of Medicine King Valley, he must have a way." General Su shook his head repeatedly, and was about to continue speaking when his son pulled him aside.
"Father, too much talk leads to mistakes!" Su Mingzheng reminded his father, "How can we speak carelessly about the whereabouts of the young master of Medicine King Valley?"
General Su realized he had misspoke, looked up to find many people staring at him, and understood that this was indeed a place of trouble. He glanced resentfully at the Prince of War's residence, then angrily turned and boarded his carriage.
"Father, please take your time." After saying this, Su Mingzheng turned around and gave a few instructions to the servants before driving the carriage away.
The Su family was once a prominent family of generals in Xuanwu. The late General Su had a distinguished military record, but years ago, due to health reasons, he retired from court affairs and handed over military power to the young General Su Mingzheng. Su Mingzheng was Su's elder brother, and although also a general, he was far inferior to the late General Su. Many people felt that with Su Mingzheng holding such power, the Su family would eventually decline, and many of its former members had already switched allegiance to other families.
Qian Youxue only knew about the Su family's affairs from rumors outside. Seeing her grandfather's persistence just now, she could tell that he was a decent person, at least unlike others who would kick someone when they were down and then leave.
"It seems impossible to sneak in during the day. How about I go in tonight and scout around?" Yunhe looked around several times. At this point, let alone sneaking in, even getting a little closer would attract attention.
Qian Youxue nodded in agreement, and pulled Yunhe to walk back down the alley. When they reached the alley entrance, they saw a familiar carriage.
That's right, the carriage belonging to the Qian family is parked at the entrance of the alley.
Are they your father's men here to gather information?
If the goal was to gather information, there seemed to be no need to stop in such a secluded place. Upon closer inspection, the carriage resembled the one Qian Muxue usually rode in.
"Look, isn't that Nian'er, the maidservant of the Second Miss?" Yunhe pointed to a spot not far away, where a maidservant was running towards the carriage.
Nian'er furtively looked around, and only after making sure no one was following her did she cautiously approach the carriage. She lifted the curtain and whispered, "Master, we can't get into the Prince's mansion at all; there are too many people."
