Chapter 21: Misdemeanor

Gu Qingwei nodded, wiped her tears, and sobbed softly.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you, it's okay."

An anxious female voice came, and I saw Su Xinran hurriedly entering the room, a small face full of worry.

Su Xinran saw that Su Zhengnan was also there, stabilized his emotions, and was blessed

"I've seen my father, and my father is here."

Seeing his beloved daughter coming, Su Zhengnan's face softened a little and said

"Dye'er is here, your aunt was frightened, just when you came, comfort her."

Su Xinran nodded, and the slender jade hand grabbed Gu Qingwei's arm, with a worried expression: "Auntie, just now Cuizhu came to report that you have a thief here, Dye'er was frightened, worried about your comfort, and came to see you immediately, auntie, are you okay?" ”

As she spoke, she blinked, the hand holding her arm was a little harder, Gu Qingwei nodded silently, and then, she changed her expression, her eyes were hazy, and she choked up

"Ran'er, my aunt is fine, the thief didn't do anything to me."

Su Xinran exhaled and nodded.

After a while, a grandmother walked in, hunched over, and said

"Prime Minister, Steward Chen specially asked the old slave to come to report, he said, he searched around, but he didn't find the thief, but he vaguely saw a black shadow going in the direction of Xunyou Garden."

"Xunyouyuan?"

"Isn't that where my sister lives?"

Gu Qingwei looked surprised, and then grabbed Su Zhengnan's sleeve tightly, looking flustered

"Xiangye, you hurry up and take someone to Xunyou Garden to take a look, if the thief really goes to Xunyou Garden, what should I do if I hurt my sister?"

Su Zhengnan's eyebrows were furrowed, obviously he didn't want to ask, if Gu Qingwei hadn't mentioned Shen Jing, he would have forgotten who lived in Xunyou Garden.

A hint of pride crossed Gu Qingwei's eyes, Mama had already reported that the thief had gone to the direction of Xunyou Garden, Xiangye still looked insignificant, if he saw Su Yexi in Shen Jing's room, then he had to clean her up!

She frowned slightly, and there was a sorrow between her eyebrows, and she said softly

"Xiangye, the concubine knows that you have been unwilling to forgive your sister all these years, but, Xiangye don't forget, there is still the Guogong Mansion behind your sister, if there is any accident to your sister, the Guogong Mansion will definitely not give up easily, so, no matter what, Xiangye must also take care of her sister, go and take a look."

Seeing this, Su Xinran, who was on the side, hurriedly said

"Yes, father, what my aunt said is not unreasonable, all along, my father has been able to be like a fish in water in the court, on the one hand, it is also thanks to the support of the Guogong Government, if there is any accident to my mother, I am afraid that it will be bad for my father in the court."

Hearing Su Xinran call Shen Jing her mother, Gu Qingwei's eyes showed a trace of resentment, if she hadn't worked hard to put Su Xinran by her side to raise her, and she would have handed it over to Shen Jing's slut to raise, I am afraid that she would have been the same as Su Yexi!

Emperor Yi attaches great importance to filial piety and the distinction between respect and inferiority, in large families, aunts are concubines, but also slaves, so the children they give birth to can not be raised by themselves, must be handed over to the head of the house to raise, and the children born by the aunt must be called the mother of the mother, and their biological mother can only be called aunt.

Originally, all the children in the Prime Minister's Mansion were raised by Shen Jing, but because she gave birth to Su Yexi and Su Chengfeng, she suffered a loss of health and had no energy to take care of other children.

Therefore, Prime Minister Su and Mrs. Su asked those aunts to take back their children to raise, planning to wait for her to get better and take them back, but soon after, Shen Jing was grounded, and those children were also raised by their biological mothers since then.

In the house, although Su Xinran grew up under Gu Qingwei's knees, she could only call her aunt, and only in private would she call her mother.

Hearing what the mother and daughter said, Su Zhengnan's original thoughts vanished, his face was grim, and he commanded coldly to the maid

"You take care of Aunt Gu and Third Miss, if something goes wrong, you know the consequences."

Hearing this, the maids and grandmothers were terrified: "Yes, Prime Minister, slaves and maids obey orders." ”

After speaking, Su Zhengnan patted Gu Qingwei's hand and comforted

"Qingwei, you are so resting, I'll go to Xunyou Garden to have a look."

Gu Qingwei hurriedly said: "Xiangye, can you let the concubine go too, the concubine is very worried about my sister."

Su Zhengnan's face was a little hesitant and said

"Qingwei, if the thief is really in Xunyouyuan, what should I do if I hurt you, you still stay here and let Dye Er accompany you, I can rest assured."

Gu Qingwei shook her head, with a worried expression: "The concubine knows that the concubine cares about the concubine, but the concubine is even more worried about her sister, all along, the concubine and her sister have a good relationship, if something happens to her, the concubine will not be able to forgive herself."

"This ......"

Su Xinran grabbed his arm and said coquettishly

"Father, you just let your aunt go, it just so happens that the daughter also misses her mother, and she also wants to go to see her by the way, the daughter has never been filial to her mother before, if something happens to her mother, her heart will be the same as her aunt, and she can't forgive herself."

Being said by Su Xinran, Su Zhengnan nodded appreciatively, worthy of his daughter who has been loved for more than ten years, his mother did such a thing, and he could still respect her so much and care about her, thinking of Su Yexi, he shook his head helplessly and sighed

"If Ye Xi is half as sensible as you, I will be content."

Su Xinran's face stiffened, and she smiled awkwardly, a trace of resentment crossed her eyes, Su Yexi! Su Yexi! Why do you compare with me, at this time, my father is still thinking about you, if it weren't for the identity of the concubine, how could I get into the eyes of the father, you wait for me, after tonight, you will definitely be nothing as a concubine!

The moonlight is like ink, and the moonlight shines through the thick dark clouds, revealing a treacherous and eerie atmosphere.

Su Zhengnan, Su Xinran, Gu Qingwei, took Steward Chen and his party to the direction of Xunyou Garden, walking on the road, suddenly a little maid passed by in a panic, Su Xinran and Gu Qingwei glanced at each other, she shouted coldly

"Stop!"

When the little maid heard this, she walked faster, Su Xinran glanced at Steward Chen, Steward Chen nodded silently, pointed to the two grandmothers casually, and said

"You two, get her back."

When the two men heard this, they immediately ran forward and grabbed the maid's arm, and the maid was startled, and kept struggling, and shouted loudly

"Let go of me, what are you doing, let go of me, I'm the eldest lady's maid, be careful I tell the eldest lady to pick your skin!"

Mama didn't care about her struggles but brought her to Su Xinran, forcing her to kneel on the ground, the maid was treated like this, very dissatisfied, her face was full of resentment, and she was about to scold angrily, when she looked up, she saw Su Xinran, Su Zhengnan, Gu Qingwei and others, she was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she immediately lowered her head, trembling.

Su Zhengnan looked at the kneeling maid in front of him, very puzzled, and puzzled

"Heart dye, why are you catching a maid?"
