Chapter 66 Coaxing People
Yue Wan saw off Nanny Zhao, and went back to the yard. She saw Su Rong sitting by the window with her chin propped up, not knowing what to think, she was very engrossed.
She approached Su Rong and asked, "Miss, are you thinking about Young Master Zhou?"
Su Rong turned to look at her, "How can you tell that I'm thinking about him?"
Yuewan chuckled, "Isn't it all said in the drawing book? When a woman thinks of spring, she looks out of the window, her eyes fall on one spot, and she doesn't turn her eyes for half a day, shy and timid..."
Su Rong rolled her eyes, "Am I shy?"
"That's not true, it's just like you, with a calm face, engrossed in what you're thinking about." Yue Wan analyzed each and every one, "What else can you think about? Naturally, you're thinking about Young Master Zhou?"
Su Rong was speechless, and reached out to knock her on the head, "I see him every day, so I don't need to think about him. I'm thinking about my mother."
"Ah? Do you miss Qi Yiniang?" Yue Wan sat down next to Su Rong, and sighed, "Qi Yiniang is such a good person, but it's a pity that she passed away early. The slave girl was young at that time, and now after so many years, I can't remember what Qi Yiniang looked like."
Su Rong's face to Seventh Aunt's face is also somewhat blurred. When the Nuanxiang Pavilion was burned down, there was not even a portrait of her mother left. As time passed, relying on the impression in her memory, it naturally became weaker and weaker. She asked: "Did Madam Zhao ask about my mother?"
Yue Wan shook his head.
Su Rong was surprised, "Didn't you ask?"
Yue Wan still shook her head, "Mother Zhao only said that you look like Miss Guan, and you don't look like the prefect. Could it be that you followed Aunt Seven? I said yes."
"anything else?"
"Mother Zhao said she has an old friend, and you are somewhat similar to that old man of hers." Yue Wan relayed what Nanny Zhao said to Su Rong, and seeing Su Rong thoughtful, she asked curiously: "Miss, what's wrong?"
"It's okay." Su Rong shook her head and instructed her, "I'm a little hungry, go to the kitchen and bring me a plate of pastries."
Yue Wan nodded and went immediately.
Su Rong thought that Nanny Zhao came out of the palace and had served the queen mother for half her life. She said that the rules her mother taught her were orthodox court rules, so it should be the same. Could it be that her mother came out of the palace? Ever since her mother passed away, the person who has been coming to kill her is someone sent by the palace?
As she was thinking, a servant entered the yard and handed her a letter, "Miss Seven, your letter."
Su Rong reached out to take it, opened it and read it, threw the letter into the incense burner, stepped out of the door, and saw Yuewan holding a plate of pastries, she squeezed a piece, and kept walking, "Go and tell mother, I have something to go out for a while."
Yuewan let out an "hey", "Miss, when are you coming back?"
Su Rong glanced at the sky, "Don't wait for me to have dinner, let's go to bed!"
Yue Wan nodded.
Su Rong got used to climbing over the wall, so she went directly out of the mansion, and went to Drunken Goose Square according to the address in the letter. When she arrived, Lan Niang was already waiting for her. Seeing her coming, she glanced at the door and signaled her to close it.
Su Rong closed the door, walked over to her and asked, "Why are you calling me out in such a hurry?"
Lan Niang lowered her voice, "There is an important matter concerning you." Fearing that the wall has ears, she leaned close to Su Rong, covered her lips and said in a breathy voice, "A person came to Jiangning County these days, and he seems to be checking you in secret."
"Check me for what?"
"Born experience."
"I don't know the origin." Lan Niang shook her head, "This person is very secretive. If you hadn't asked us to discuss and arrange to go to the capital a few days ago, I would have gathered everyone to move. With our previous laziness, we might not have discovered it."
"What does this person look like?" Su Rong asked.
Lan Niang pulled out a scroll from her sleeve, "I have had someone draw a portrait of her. She is pretty and handsome, but she is not very old, but her martial arts are very high. I am afraid that the most powerful Fengyue among us can barely be his opponent."
Su Rong nodded, took a look at the portrait, "Okay, I know, just ask him to check, don't disturb him, tell Fengyue when this person will leave, let Fengyue follow him."
Lan Niang nodded and looked at Su Rong, "Jiangning County is much more lively this year than in previous years. Why do I think you are getting more and more dangerous? Just in case, let me arrange someone to protect you closely?"
Su Rong shook his head, "As long as I don't leave Jiangning County, no one can kill me, no need to send anyone, I just need to be careful."
Big deal, she doesn't go out of the house these days.
Lan Niang saw her refusal, so she could only give up, "I have already sent some of our people to the capital, we have not moved for a long time, if we want to take root in the capital, I am afraid that it will not be so easy in the early stage, if we act the fastest, it will take two to three months to settle down, and we can't have a large number of people passing by, too much movement will attract attention."
"Well, it's not urgent." Su Rong waved his hand, "I'm making some preparations for marrying into Duke Huguo's Mansion in the future, but maybe I won't be able to marry Zhou Gu either. I just want to give it a try, tell them, don't worry."
Lan Niang nodded and sighed, "Your mother doesn't know why, what kind of powerful enemy is so persistent in wanting to kill you."
Su Rong was silent.
"Isn't Prefect Su your biological father?" Lan Niang said suddenly.
Su Rong raised her eyebrows, "Would you treat someone who is not your own daughter like an eyeball?"
"I definitely won't, but the prefect Su, I can't say for sure." Lan Niang looked serious, carefully scrutinizing Su Rong's eyebrows, "After all, you really don't look like the prefect Su."
Su Rong was noncommittal.
Isn't she, she is very clear.
Lan Niang said again: "I heard that Mr. Xie is back, how kind Mr. Xie is to you, do you think Mr. Xie will know your life experience? He is a powerful person, willing to stay in Jiangning for so many years, why? It can't really be to get along with the prefect, right? If it was before, I believe this, but no matter what I think now, I feel that Mr. Xie has treated you better these years. I don't want to be known, and Mr. Xie took it all on his own. I always feel that Mr. Xie stayed in Jiangning for you."
"He did it for my mother." Su Rong said surprisingly, "He admired my mother, but for some reason, my mother became my father's concubine."
Lan Niang was shocked.
"I will find a chance to talk to Uncle Xie." Su Rong felt that Xie Yuan thought she was young and didn't say anything, but now that she is old enough, he should tell her if there is anything.
Lan Niang nodded and sighed, "It turns out that a person like Mr. Xie can't escape the word love. No wonder he has been alone and never married a wife."
After the two of them finished talking about their business, they chatted while eating, and had a couple of drinks as usual. After the meal, seeing that it was still early, Lan Niang asked Su Rong, "I haven't listened to the music for a while, why don't we go to listen to the music? Anyway, I heard that your fiancé was also taken by you to listen to the music. He has seen how you are out of line."
Implicit, is it okay to return late? Can it be the same as before?
Su Rong shook his head, "I just went there yesterday, I don't want to go, go by yourself!"
"Didn't you stop at Fengyue Tower yesterday?" Lan Niang asked.
Su Rong saw that she was not opening which pot was carrying which pot, and she was annoyed, "Zhou Gu got annoyed yesterday and turned against me. I have to go back and coax him today."
Lan Niang laughed, "Can you still coax people?"
"Naturally." Su Rong stood up, "I'm leaving."
