Chapter Ninety-Seven: Homecoming

On the day Su Yu returned to the capital, it was raining lightly, and the air was stuffy. The streets of Kyoto are deserted by pedestrians hurrying to take shelter from the rain.

"Miss Su, the lowly rank will be sent here, and I have to go back to deal with the Queen Mother." The man spoke as if he was pinching his throat, less masculine.

"There's Lord Lao." She held the umbrella and bowed her head slightly, and the raindrops dripped down the edge of the umbrella, splashing a beautiful splash on the ground.

The gate of the Su Mansion is closed, and the memory of people coming and going, the lively General's Mansion is now full of people. The two tall and mighty stone lions at the door were like staring at the people returning from afar, solemn and majestic.

"Bang bang." The copper ring knocked lightly, and there was a "click" footsteps inside.

"Miss!" The housekeeper opened the door, saw the girl's delicate face, exclaimed, and took a few more careful glances before confirming that Su Yu was really back.

"Steward Sun." Su Yu made a silent gesture at him, so that others could find out. Quickly entered the door.

"The eldest lady is back." Steward Sun closed the door with his backhand, half happy and half worried.

"Fuli, are you okay?"

"This ......" Steward Sun was speechless for a while, as if to persuade, "Eldest Lady, let's go meet the old lady first." ”

Su Yu was silent.

"You worrisome child!" Mrs. Su looked at Su Yu standing in front of her and burst into tears. Compassion came from the heart and took her in his arms.

This warm embrace made Su Yu feel uncomfortable for a while, and she moved slightly.

Mrs. Su wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, although her eyes were red, she was still the decent Mrs. Su in a blink of an eye. "Where have you been all these days?"

"Gangnam." Su Yu said.

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Su's originally gentle face suddenly became stern.

"You're a girl, what are you doing running so far? In the past, though you were lively, you were not so wild. Mrs. Su whispered.

Su Yu panicked in her heart, and hurriedly interrupted Mrs. Su, "Is the family okay?" ”

"If you don't leave, the house will be fine!" Mrs. Su complained, "If you go, where is the Queen Mother, our family will almost not be able to pay the errand." ”

Su Yu was so nervous that she clenched her hand at her side, and felt a little guilty in her heart, "The Queen Mother blames our family?" ”

"Not really. It's always normal to just eat some hanging. Mrs. Su said as she walked, "Come with me to see your grandmother first, you are happy this run, but your grandmother has been sick for a long time." ”

It's the same as it was written in the letter. While listening to Mrs. Su's talk about the latest situation in the house, Su Yu was secretly surprised that it matched everything in the letter.

"Miss." Mama came out to pour hot water, saw Su Yu, blinked, and suddenly reacted again.

"Mama. Is my mother asleep? Mrs. Su asked.

"The old lady just said that she had a headache, and she took medicine and was resting."

Mrs. Su only said that it would be good for her to stay in the outer room and let Su Yu go in alone.

Su Yu tiptoed in, and saw Old Madam Su lying crooked on the collapse and sleeping lightly.

Although it was summer, Mrs. Su was wearing a fluffy forehead on her forehead, the window was tightly closed, a mattress was placed under her, and a thin blanket was placed on her knees.

"Grandmother." She called softly.

The old lady opened her eyes in a daze, "Ayu...... You're back? ”

Su Yu stepped forward, sat on the small cushion that collapsed, and held the old lady's hand, a little shriveled and thin.

"The granddaughter is unfilial, so that it affects the family."

When Mrs. Su heard this, she patted her hand, making Su Yu feel a sense of warmth and strength.

"You are not unfilial, but you are a mistake in our teaching."

"Grandmother ......"

"You listen to your grandmother first." Old Madam Su's voice was a little hoarse, like a dry branch swaying in the wind.

"Our Su family is a general, and we have raised you as half a boy since you were a child, although it is not so good that you are proficient in all kinds of martial arts, but it also causes you to be too good at making your own decisions."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Su's voice was a little helpless, "Originally, I didn't blame you, the daughter of the Su family was not a puppet who raised threads, and let others rub it round and flatten." Besides, I didn't expect that you would have the opportunity to ascend to the Supreme Phoenix Throne......"

"Ayu, I got married that day, and my grandmother didn't ask you." Old Madam Su's cloudy eyes suddenly burst out with brightness, "Now you have to tell the truth to your grandmother, are you willing to marry the crown prince, or even become a model of the Six Palaces in the future, and the mother is the world?" ”

Su Yu looked directly at Old Madam Su's eyes with a hint of firmness, "Granddaughter doesn't want to." ”

"Okay." Old Madam Su seemed to be expected, and leaned back, "Since you don't want to, why come back?" ”

"The granddaughter is worried that the Queen Mother blames the Su family......"

"Ayu, you can deceive your mother, but you can't deceive your grandmother."

Su Yu was slightly stunned.

"I've been gone for half a year, and I haven't seen you send a letter home. We don't know where you've been or what you've been doing in the past six months. Old Madam Su carried a hint of reproach, "Don't say a word when you leave, and you will appear out of thin air when you come back." ”

"If you really take the Su family to heart as you said, you won't run away, and you won't come back like this!" Old Madam Su became more and more excited, and for a moment her chest was a little tight, and she leaned back.

Su Yu stepped forward to ease her, but was grabbed by the hand.

The old lady was so desperate that she detained her, "You don't want to be this crown princess, and you can't show it, understand?" ”

Su Yu was puzzled, the old lady looked like she hated iron but not steel, "The prince doesn't want to marry you, he will naturally find a way to solve this marriage, if you don't want to rush up, it will be disrespectful to the royal family!" ”

"Do you know that you are acting rashly this time, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's own considerations, if it weren't for your mother's several pleas in Cining Palace, the Su family would be full of loyalty, all because of you."

The old lady glared at her, "Confused! You are not unique, and my Su family is not a super-first-class person. If you don't be this crown princess, the queen mother can naturally find someone else. If you are willing to do it, you will hold the Queen Mother tightly, if you are not willing to do it, you will wait for the prince to deal with it himself, what are you doing in front of you? I didn't realize that I was cannon fodder for no reason! ”

"Where have you learned from what you were taught?"

Mrs. Su didn't know why, a marriage decree could make Su Ri's steady granddaughter mess up, and even disregarded the face of the family and the safety of the nine clans, and made a move to escape the marriage.

You must know that what she escaped today is not an ordinary marriage contract, but the object of the future Son of Heaven!

Su Yu was completely stunned, she was born in a later life, from studying to working, step by step, smooth sailing, never thought that a marriage contract would have so many twists and turns.

"The Su family is for you to support you, not to make you a sacrifice, and you can't roast these one or two hundred people on the fire, you don't want to live, my old wife still wants to leave decently!"

Su Yu muttered, "I just don't want to get married for no reason." ”

"Do you want to marry, does the prince want to marry?" Old Madam Su thought of what the Queen Mother said to her, and said to Su Yu seriously, "Many times, we are forced to become chess pieces in the hands of the superiors, but you, you have to be smarter, follow the general trend, and let the chess players bother with their brains." ”

But in this case, is my destiny still in my own hands? Su Yu didn't ask.

Because Mrs. Su followed closely and said, "You don't want to be a chess piece, but most of the people who escape from the chess game are dead." ”

"Tomorrow, you will pack up and go into the palace and ask the Queen Mother for your guilt."

"My Su family's daughter has been sick for so long, and she should be cured."
