Chapter 54: The Exodus III
Su Wei's heart was pulled out in public, his face was a little embarrassed, and he trembled and argued: "Where is the girl, the old man is also worried about his daughter's heart, thinking that the girl is friendly with the little girl, maybe she has confided in you something, so she came to ask for advice, and I really didn't have any doubts." β
Dong Wan said coldly: "Does Uncle Su suspect that I don't know, but such a charge is on my head, if it is known by outsiders, how will I behave in the future as a girl?" β
Dong's father in the hall also let his daughter come because he gave Su Wei three points of face, and when he saw that his daughter was angry, he had already burst into flames in his heart, and he was no longer polite at the moment, "Master Su, my daughter really doesn't know, if there is nothing else, please go back." β
Su Wei had no choice but to apologize with a gray face: "It's the old man who didn't think about it, and I ask Lord Dong and Miss Dong for forgiving me for the faux pas." In the next retirement. β
Seeing that Su Wei was gone, Dong Wan walked to Dong's father's side, shook his father's arm, and pretended to be angry: "Daddy is so unreasonable, he let people question his daughter like this." The daughter has lost face, can she give her father a long face? It's a shame that I didn't even leave the house today to make pastries for my father and mother, otherwise if he insisted that I took Miss Su away, how good would it be. β
Dong's father was about to faint when Dong Wan's head was shaken, and he said to his daughter apologetically: "Good daughter, it's not that your father doesn't protect you, it's just that this Su family, my father has to give him some face." β
"He's just a businessman, even if he's rich, he deserves so much respect from his father?"
Father Dong shook his head and nodded Dong Wan's forehead, "You are a daughter's family, how do you understand the things here." My father heard that a few days ago, the prefect got a letter from the current Taifu and went to Su Mansion to protect the media for Su and Liu. If Su Wei is a family member with Taifu, how can I refute his face. β
Dong Wan is a spirit, "Protecting the media? Who does the prefect give to the media? β
"It's the eldest son of Taifu Yan's second son, and it seems that his name is Liu Lingjun."
Dong Wan only felt a tightness in her heart, and then leaned out a gossipy face: "So, Miss Su ran away because they came to propose marriage?" β
Father Dong stood up and looked at the sky outside, "I don't know if I'm a father." I only heard that Su Wei refused the prefect's media, but Liu Fu didn't seem to give up on this matter, no matter what, he is also the grandson of the current Taifu, so he was refuted, how could they be willing to comply, it seems that they have to contribute to this matter. β
Dong Wan was thinking about this matter with all her heart, and Dong's father was also wondering what the situation was like in his heart. Shinong Industry and Commerce, the high position of Taifu, and the status of the Liu family among scholars, just asked to take the Su family girl who was a businessman. I'm afraid it's not that simple. After pondering for a long time, he still couldn't understand it, and when he turned around, he saw his daughter frowning and dazed.
"What are you thinking?"
Dong Wan came back to her senses and said with a smile: "My daughter is just curious why the Liu family went to the Su family to ask for marriage." Supposedly, they are not the right people. β
Dong's father said: "My daughter's family, don't worry about these things so much." It's just a matter of talking about it once in a while, and don't do anything out of the ordinary. β
Dong Wan called Qingyun to bring in the food box, and said while taking out the snacks: "Daddy, don't worry, my daughter knows these truths." β
Dong Wan returned to the back house and instructed Qingyun: "Send someone to inquire about the Liu Mansion and the Su Mansion's proposal to marry the Su Mansion, and inquire in detail." Qingyun took the order. Dong Wan looked at the pile of books on the table in a daze. Mrs. Liu helped Liu Lingjun to get Su Yingxue, how could such a person who couldn't be beaten with eight poles have a connection? Su Fu just has more property, and although her daughter is a little confused, she is okay, so why let them ask for it like this. Fortunately, Su Yingxue has already left, otherwise, it really contributed to this matter, but how can it be good. Yes, while Su Yingxue is not there, and before her father and mother have decided on their own family affairs, they should take the initiative.
Su Fu searched for two days in a row, but he never found any trace, and Su Wei was already anxious. There is no way to continue to hide things from Mrs. Su. Su Wei stayed in the study all night, and he never dared to go to the backyard to see his wife.
In the past, no matter how late he was busy, Su Wei would return to the backyard. Mrs. Su waited left and right and waited for no one to come back, so she rested under Lan Ruo's persuasion. It's just that I couldn't sleep well this night. As soon as the morning dawned, he asked Lan Ruo to wait to get up and go to the front yard to find Master Su.
"Is something wrong with Yingxue?" Seeing that the old man was still trying to hide his emotions, Mrs. Su made up her mind, "Just say it, master, I have already prepared for the worst in my heart." β
Su Wei hesitated again and again, but seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage, took the letter from the bookcase, and handed it to Mrs. Su.
"Daddy, my daughter is not filial and ran away without permission. Please rest assured that your daughter will take care of herself, and please take care of her parents. β
Mrs. Su's hands trembled, her face turned pale, and her heart fluctuated strongly. "By all precautions, she left us like this."
Su Wei was worried about his wife's health, so he hurriedly persuaded: "The matter has come to this, so I have to find her back as soon as possible." Don't worry too much, Madame, I've already sent someone to look for it, and maybe I'll hear back soon. β
Mrs. Su shook her head with a pale face, and then looked at Su Wei very seriously: "Why should the master lie to me, I haven't found it for the past two days, and the possibility of finding it in the future is even smaller." As she spoke, she began to burst into tears, "She runs away alone like this, and she doesn't know how much she will suffer." I don't know if I'll ever see you again. β
What Su Wei was most afraid of was Mrs. Su's body, and when she saw her crying, she was even more anxious: "Madam, although the possibility is small, it is not hopeless." Madame, rest assured, from today onwards, I will send more people to search for my daughter, even if the family wealth is scattered. β
Mrs. Su lay on Su Wei's shoulder and cried bitterly, and after a long time, she sobbed and said: "It's all my life is not good, the heirs are thin, and I have such a daughter, but I am in such a situationΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
Su Wei hurriedly interrupted: "Madame, don't take these things on yourself, you must take care of your body, I will definitely get my daughter back." β
Su Wei persuaded for a while, and Mrs. Su came out of her grief and urged Su Wei to send someone to find her again.
After searching for another five or six days, there was no news, and Su Yingxue and the others seemed to have evaporated from the world since they left the West Gate.
"Could the girl have gone out of the West Gate and turned in the other direction?" The housekeeper looked at Su Wei's expression and threw out the questions in his heart.
Su Wei was afraid that this would be the case at the beginning, so he also sent people in other directions at that time, but when he left Yangzhou City, the sky and the earth were big, and he didn't know if Su Yingxue and Caiyun came out, and whether anyone else followed. I can't even tell how many people there are, and it's hard to inquire. Su Wei's face was calm, and finally said: "Things have come to such a point, there is no need to hide it anymore." Spread the news to the outside world, as long as someone can find the girl, the reward is 10,000 taels, and if someone can provide accurate news, the reward is 100 taels. β
Since then, the news of Su Yingxue's running away from home has spread all over Yangzhou City, but within a few days, people in the surrounding places have also gotten the news. Because of the abundant reward, many people took the initiative to look for people. In front of the Su Mansion, there are also many people who say that they have news of Miss Su every day. It's just a pity that these messages are worthless.
