Chapter 015: Su Mansion
At last...
"It seems that the Su Mansion has already made arrangements, but this king and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have gone one more time." Xiao Jin smiled and said to Xiao Ye, "However, since they are already halfway up the mountain, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to meet your fiancΓ©e?" β
Xiao Ye frowned, glanced at Xiao Jin fiercely, and then spoke, "There is a difference between men and women, plus the relationship between this palace and Miss Su, it is better to avoid some suspicions, since Miss Su is indeed fine, this palace is afraid that Su Mansion is worried, so I will not stay longer, go back to the palace first, and bring the news back by the way." But... Inevitably, there will be another accident, and the matter of guarding will be handed over to the king of the south. After speaking, Xiao Ye arched his hand at Xiao Jin, and without waiting for Xiao Jin to respond, he drove away without looking back.
His mind was a little messy now, and he was very worried about whether those Sufu soldiers had really caught the grass robbers, and whether they would know something from the mouths of those grass robbers, so he had to rush back to deal with the aftermath.
As for letting Nanwang be in charge of escorting...
Xiao Jin looked at the background of Xiao Ye driving away, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth was even more evil. In this case, I haven't dispelled the dirty idea in my heart, and it's really tsk!
But...
Will he let him get his way?
"Lord Wang, Miss Nasu and those bandits..."The captain of the Iron Cavalry stepped forward to ask after Xiao Ye left.
Xiao Jin's lazy eyes lowered slightly, and after a while, he raised his head and glanced at the cottage in the distance before he spoke, "Leave a few people to protect secretly, and the rest will return to Beijing." After speaking, he immediately turned the horse's head, and also followed the direction of Xiao Ye's departure, and drove away. That Miss Su is really an interesting woman, but it's a pity that it is not suitable to meet her for the time being, he is looking forward to it, looking forward to fighting her in the capital!
......
"Miss, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leave like this?" Rue Xiang walked to Su Xuedai's side and whispered cautiously, her tone was full of injustice, "I don't know if I came up to see if Miss was really safe and sound?" I don't personally escort the young lady back..."
Su Xuedai just smiled and didn't say anything when she heard this, and it wasn't until Shi Xing returned to the hall of the cottage that she raised her head.
"The guards outside the door have all evacuated." Shi Xing frowned, looking a little overwhelmed.
Su Xuedai nodded and hummed softly.
"Miss Su is not afraid..."Shi Xing suddenly asked when he saw this.
"Shi Dangjia is not a stupid person." Su Xuedai nodded to the end, since she dared to take this step, it was naturally good in all aspects, not to mention that she was really not afraid of being held hostage, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Nan would not be easy to really leave without doing anything.
Shi Xing was so touched by Su Xuedai that he immediately understood, and suddenly raised his head to look at Su Xuedai, who had been sitting upright, and began to feel a little afraid in his heart for no reason.
Su Xuedai didn't care about Shi Xing's thoughts, but turned her head to Rue Xiang and ordered, "You can prepare to pack up and go home, this time there are guards from my Su Mansion soldiers on the road, I believe there will be no more trouble." After speaking, Su Xuedai glanced at Shi Xing with a smile, and lowered her head again to drink tea.
......
Beijing, Su Province.
It was noon, and the dining room of the main house of Sufu, which should have been full of food, was quiet and quiet at this time, and there was no action to eat.
Not only that, except for the elderly lady, the other rooms also came to the dining room, sitting on the side and waiting.
As for what to wait for...
A cacophony of footsteps rang out.
Everyone hurriedly stood up and looked over, and the picturesque scene was instantly shattered.
"Master, how's it going? Is there anything wrong with her? Mrs. Su Fu was the first to ask, since she received the news yesterday that Su Xuedai was taken up the mountain by bandits, she didn't come up in one breath and fainted. And when she woke up again, Second Master Su and Third Master Su were summoned into the palace, Uncle Su and a group of men from Su Mansion waited in the front hall, while their female dependents stayed in the inner hall.
Not only Mrs. Su was anxious, but also the second and third Mrs. Su were all looking at their husbands eagerly.
"Mother, don't worry, my sister is fine." Uncle Su hadn't spoken yet, but Young Master Su Ke stepped forward to help Mrs. Su to the side and sit comfortingly.
"Really, really?" Mrs. Su looked at her son expectantly.
Su Ke nodded, "The second uncle and the third uncle were summoned to the palace because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came back and was giving a message to the emperor, so the emperor simply called the second uncle and the third uncle." β
When Mrs. Su heard this, her worried heart finally returned to the bottom of her heart, and there was a little warmth on her face, and then her expression changed again, "Then, what about your sister, her?" Is she back? As she spoke, Mrs. Su subconsciously pulled her son aside and looked behind the group.
"......" Young Master Su.
"Sister-in-law, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rushed back quickly, so Xue Dai didn't come back so soon, and she would be able to enter Beijing in the evening." Second Master Su took it with a smile.
When Mrs. Su heard this, she gave up looking behind everyone, and for a while, the look on her face dimmed again.
"Okay, since my daughter is fine, I can see it in the evening, it's useless for you to be anxious, and with your current appearance, my daughter may not be able to recognize you at that time." In the end, Uncle Su had the opportunity to speak, "It's not too early, hurry up and let people pass the meal, after using it, take a good rest first, so as not to show your daughter a joke!" β
When Mrs. Su heard Uncle Su's words, her eyes finally brightened, but she glared at Uncle Su angrily.
"Hahaha." Seeing this, everyone in the dining room of the main house smiled heartily, and immediately diluted the previous solemn and sad clouds.
Mrs. Su's face was a little flushed, and she immediately sent someone to pass the meal.
Finally, I have some appetite and can eat.
......
After eating, Uncle Su and the other men in Su Mansion left the table first, but they were not walking in their respective houses.
The main house has a large study.
Uncle Su sat on the top and looked at Second Master Su with a frown, "Su Mansion soldiers? Are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sure he said so? β
Second Master Su nodded solemnly. To this day, he still remembers the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looking at him at that time, as if there were doubts and blames, which really made him scratch his head.
Uncle Su was silent.
"But Dad, back then, the Taoist chief had told me that too many people were not allowed to protect my sister, even the house at the foot of the mountain, and every time Liu Cheng's kid went to pick up the maid on the mountain, he would only live for two days, and it was usually idle, how could there be Su Mansion soldiers..."The eldest young master of Su Mansion asked, "Is this what those grass robbers forced my sister to say?" Isn't that dangerous for my sister! β
Su Ke thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xiao Ye did not personally escort his sister back, which was very unhappy with him. If something happens to his sister, he will not simply let him go, even if he is the prince!
Su Qingming was still silent, and his frowns could kill mosquitoes. What his son could think of, how could he, as the dean of Shanglin Yuan for many years, not think of it?
It's just that...
After a while, Su Qingming finally raised his head and said to Su Ke, "Don't tell your mother about this." "Mrs. Su's body can't stand being worried and afraid. Over the years, her daughter has not come back, so that she often washes her face with tears, and her body is not as good as a year after year, if she thinks about it more, he is really afraid...
"And you, I can't tell your mother about this." Su Qingming thought about it and instructed the heirs of the other two rooms and said.
