Chapter 266: There's Another Option

Su Man didn't know how he got out of that house and how he returned to Su's house.

She only felt as if she had a spring and autumn dream.

She didn't know if she was right or not, but she knew that there was no turning back.

She looked up at the plaque in her yard that read Yi Ran Zhai, sneered, and turned her head to look at Hongmei: "You go and ask, the prince is still in the house, have you gone out." ”

Hongmei looked at her girl in a trance when she came back from the Shen Daoist, and she was very worried, and when she heard her ask about Su Che, she thought that the girl had something to say to the prince, so she hurriedly answered, and did not dare to delay for a moment.

Su Man looked at Hongmei's hurried appearance, looked at it for a while, and then entered the main room without saying a word.

When the little girls saw that Su Man was back, they hurriedly came over, and they were busy carrying water and handing handkerchiefs.

Su Man only felt extremely irritable, and waved his hand to tell those little girls to retreat.

But after a cup of tea, Hongmei also came back, she saw that the little girls were waiting under the porch with their hands down, and as a girl talking to someone in the house, she stood outside the window and listened carefully for a while, and then lifted the curtain and entered the house after making sure that there was no one else.

Su Man was crooked on the soft couch in the west room at this time, and when he heard the movement, he didn't raise his eyelids and asked lazily, "How is it?" ”

Hongmei walked lightly to Su Man's side, bowed and saluted, and then replied in a low voice: "Girl, the mother-in-law in the East Courtyard said that the uncle went out from you, and went back to talk to the grandmother for a while, and then changed into a plain robe and went out in a hurry." ”

Su Man snorted and continued to ask, "How long have you been gone?" ”

Hongmei pondered for a moment, and then replied: "It's been a while, and it's been about two quarters of an hour." ”

Su Man snorted and stopped making a sound.

Hongmei looked at the girl like this, and didn't dare to say more, just lowered her hand and waited to the side.

The room was quiet, and only the clatter of the Western clock in the hall could be heard.

After a long while, he only heard the Western clock ring twice, and Su Man slowly opened his eyes.

Hongmei saw that she was awake, and hurriedly ordered the little girl outside the window to bring warm water in.

Su Man let them clean their faces and comb their hair, and sat stunned in front of the mirror for a while, then sighed lightly and stood up.

"Go to the House of Compassion."

……

It is also quiet in the courtyard of mercy at this time, at this time, most of the masters in the family are taking a nap, and the servants are also taking advantage of such a time to be lazy.

So when Su Man arrived at the Compassion Courtyard, a group of girls and women were gathering in one place to do needlework.

When the mother-in-law guarding the door saw Su Man coming, she hurriedly threw away the work in her hand, and bowed over to greet Su Man: "Why did the eldest girl come here at this time." ”

Su Man snorted, but he didn't even look at the mother-in-law, looked around the courtyard, and raised his chin at a big girl who was waiting next to the old lady: "Grandmother is waking up now?" ”

The girl had already put away the things in her hand, and when she heard Su Man ask herself, she hurriedly curtled her knees and said with a smile: "Girl, wait a while, the maid will go in and have a look." "The fire is out

Su Man snorted, and stood under the corridor and waited.

The girl went in for a while, and then she heard a sound of footsteps in the house, and then she heard Mrs. Su's voice ringing through the curtain: "Sister Man'er is here?" Come in and talk. ”

Su Man knew that Old Madam Su must have woken up a long time ago when she heard the voice, she made a color at the red plum beside her, and then she straightened the clothes on her body, and lifted the curtain and went in alone.

Mrs. Su was sitting on the big kang near the window in the west room at this time, and when she saw Su Man coming in, she immediately smiled on her face: "You girl, it's not good to rest in the room at noon, and what are you doing here with me?" ”

Su Man sat beside Mrs. Su with a smile, and said softly: "I suddenly missed my grandmother, I wanted to come over and talk to my grandmother, and I didn't look at the time, so I ran over without disturbing my grandmother's rest." ”

Old Madam Su stretched out her finger and pointed at Su Man's forehead, and said with a smile: "I see that you have something to ask me, when I don't know you?" ”

Su Man was coquettish in Mrs. Su's arms, and grinned: "It is said that I know my son Mo Ruo's mother, I look at it, I know my grandmother." ”

Old Mrs. Su nodded at Su Man's forehead again, and said helplessly to Mother Zhou on the side: "I don't know who this child is with, this little mouth is like smeared with honey." ”

Mother Zhou took the tea and snacks sent by the little girl, placed them on the kang table one by one, and responded with a smile: "The girl has grown up with you since she was a child, who do you say the girl can be like?" ”

"Okay, even you old thing dares to come and mess with me." Old Madam Su's smile was even bigger, "No wonder this little guy's courage is getting bigger and bigger day by day." ”

Su Man also grinned, took a piece of mung bean cake back and handed it to Mrs. Su's mouth: "Grandmother, try it, is this mung bean cake sweet, or my mouth is sweet." ”

The grandfather and grandson laughed a few more words, and Mrs. Su said to Zhou's mother who was waiting on the side: "I heard that the kitchen said that I made milk cake today, and I don't know if Sister Man likes to eat it, you go get some." ”

Mother Zhou was stunned for a moment, immediately understood, and hurriedly smiled yes, waved at a few little girls on the side, and retreated together.

It wasn't until the door was closed that Mrs. Su smiled on her face and said with a straight face: "Anyway, you came to look for me at this time, but what happened?" ”

Su Man said in his heart, his grandmother's heart was really mirror-like.

She laughed twice, and wanted to say something more, but she heard Mrs. Su snort coldly and said: "Although you are pampered on weekdays, you are the most filial, and you will never come here at noon, and something must have happened when you come here today, just say it." ”

Su Man originally felt a little uneasy in his heart, but after listening to Mrs. Su's words, his heart settled down inexplicably.

She pursed her lips and circled the words a thousand times in her heart, but she still decided to tell the truth.

"Grandmother, that Daoist Shen is the descendant of the abolished prince."

Old Madam Su obviously didn't expect Su Man to say this, she was stunned in place, and it took a long time to find her voice.

"Who do you say, who are your descendants?"

Su Man knew that this matter was indeed a bit unbelievable, but if they wanted the Su family to continue to be stable and prosperous for a hundred years, they had to win this gamble.

She stared at Old Madam Su's eyes, and said seriously word by word: "The Shen Daoist that my granddaughter met a few days ago, he is the widow of the abolished prince. ”

Old Madam Su grew her mouth in surprise, her lips opened and closed, and it took a long time to return to normal, and she muttered in a low voice: "This is not a joke, are you sure, that person can be trusted?" ”

Su Man nodded firmly: "If it weren't for the fact that my granddaughter felt that this matter was important, how could she say it rashly." ”

After she finished speaking, she didn't give Old Madam Su time to react, and continued: "Grandmother, don't you often say that the Su family chose the wrong one, and now, we have another option." ”
