Because they really couldn't find anything more, and they firmly believed in their daughter's words, the two could only focus on this cousin.
It’s just that they thought about many possibilities——
Why find a substitute for love, or wrong his wife and children for the sake of his dead cousin... There are all kinds of possibilities, but he didn't think about the fact that his cousin might still be "alive".
There is no way, harboring a fugitive is a serious crime!
What the Luo family committed was even more special.
What they carry on their backs are the lives of tens of thousands of victims in the disaster area! This matter was revealed by the new science disciples. In order to give the world an explanation, the emperor was furious and ordered the three divisions to investigate together. All ministries also gave the green light and quickly put the Luo family in prison.
Now, more than two years have passed since the incident, and the new spring is coming soon, but whenever the Luo family is mentioned, people are still very angry and resentful.
One can imagine!
Even if Xue Jing and Mrs. Cao Guogong are emotional, Cao Guogong will not be confused and tolerate them to bring trouble to the Duke's palace.
Therefore, this idea only floated in their minds a few times before it was quickly crossed out by the two of them.
"Forget it, it's a waste of time guessing, so let's rest first."
Su Henan patted his wife, reached out and put away the letter.
"The Royal Ship is not far from the capital. In about two or three days, Yun Yatou will be back. When their aunt and nephew meet, everything will become clear."
Lin also understood that there would be no results if he continued to think like this.
He nodded, and when Su Henan got up and went to the front yard, he also took a rest.
*
Time flies by in the blink of an eye.
The imperial ship that everyone was looking forward to arrived at the ferry early on the third day.
The emperor always governed the country with filial piety, and to show his respect for the empress dowager, he sent the prince and several princes to pick her up in person. The grand ceremony and ceremony attracted many people to watch.
After a year, the Queen Mother really missed her children and grandchildren, so she freshened up briefly and followed the princes back to the palace.
Su Ruoyun, as the eldest princess's companion and the empress dowager's appointed chauffeur for this trip, naturally could not return home immediately.
When the Empress Dowager returned to the palace for the first time, many concubines came to see her. They were coming and going, and it was always lively.
It was the eldest princess who was concerned about her long absence and mentioned it to the Queen Mother, so Su Ruoyun was able to leave the palace and return home before lunch.
As for Jingyang Hou Mansion.
Early in the morning, as soon as the news of the imperial ship's arrival in Beijing came, the house became lively.
Su Ruoyun's yard has been cleaned long ago, and the seasonal clothes have been prepared for her to wear as soon as she comes back.
But Lin didn't think it was enough.
I got up early in the morning, drew up the menu myself, and thought about all Su Ruoyun's favorite dishes. He didn't think it was enough, so he dragged Su Henan along.
"Okay, okay, that's all, she can eat as much as a little girl."
Su Henan said it nonchalantly.
If he hadn't asked for leave from the Yamen early in the morning and buttoned a few wrong buttons in his excitement, he would probably still have some credibility.
He waved his hand in disgust: "Sit down and have a rest, my head is spinning."
"What do you know?"
Ms. Lin seemed very dissatisfied with her husband's attitude.
"My little sister has been running back and forth all the way. She doesn't eat or sleep as well as at home, and she is with the Tian family. How can she do everything according to her own preferences? I'm afraid she will be wronged by her words... You still As a brother, I don’t know what my heart is made of, and I don’t know how to feel sorry for others..."
As she spoke, Lin's eyes became red as she thought of the miserable scene her sister-in-law might have experienced.
Su Henan was also afraid of her.
Just as he was about to say a few words of coaxing, there was suddenly a burst of chaotic footsteps outside, accompanied by the greetings of the maid and the happy calls of several boys——
"The eldest lady is back..."
"Aunt - aunt -"
As soon as he heard the noise, he knew that Su Ruoyun had entered the house. Lin immediately forgot about crying. She was so excited that she stood up and went out to greet people.
But people outside move faster.
Before Mrs. Lin could greet her, everyone came in surrounded by a girl.
She was tall and slender, with a fair and translucent face. She had the Su family's signature fox eyes, and she had a dash of heroic spirit that was rare for aristocratic girls. He didn't even have time to change out of his palace clothes, so he hurried in. Who else could it be if it wasn't Su Ruoyun?
"Yunyatou!"
"Brother! Sister-in-law!"
When the two parties met, they were supposed to have a lot to say, but instead their eyes immediately turned red. Even Su Henan, who disliked his wife and mother-in-law, was no exception.
Mrs. Lin directly held her in her arms, like a loving mother waiting for a wanderer to return home. While stroking Su Ruoyun's long hair, she choked and said:
"Has grown tall."
"I've also lost weight."
"My little girl, you have really suffered a lot along the way."
After not seeing her for a year, Mrs. Lin couldn't bear to let go. She looked back and forth at her sister-in-law, feeling heartbroken.
"Sister-in-law is really talking nonsense."
Su Ruoyun leaned in Lin's arms and said coquettishly:
"I have obviously gained a lot of weight. Even the princess said that my face is rounder and I have lost weight. My sister-in-law is obviously young and beautiful, but how can she imitate those old women? No matter whether she is fat or thin, she always feels that her family is not eating well. I didn’t sleep well, it’s really weird…”
As soon as these words came out, the solemn atmosphere immediately dissipated.
Mrs. Lin chuckled and tapped Su Ruoyun's forehead: "You are the only one who can say that, a narrow-minded ghost!"
When she couldn't cry anymore, Mrs. Lin pulled Su Ruoyun to sit down and asked her in detail about her food, clothing, housing and transportation this year.
The maids served tea at the right time, as well as several pastries that had been prepared long ago, and were now being heated.
They are all Su Ruoyun's favorite food.
Su Ruoyun was indeed greedy.
As Mr. Lin said, how can a person get everything going as he wants outside? He just reports good things but not bad things. For example, this butterfly cake was her favorite, but because it was cumbersome to make and required a lot of ingredients, Su Ruoyun never asked for it when she was out. She would eat whatever others ate, and there was no preference for what she liked.
But now I have no worries.
One bite at a time, very satisfying to eat.
While eating, I didn't forget to answer Lin's questions in detail.
The two women exchanged words with each other and had a lively conversation.
On the side, brothers Su Jingwen and Su Jingwu also asked for leave. Now they took their younger brother and sat down at the bottom. They followed their father's example and didn't say a word. They quietly listened to the two women at home talking.
The two talked about their life outside for a while. Su Ruoyun had already noticed the three nephews, and looking for an opportunity, she took the lead in teasing the youngest one.
There is no way, the older two are sensible and know that they need to save face and will be embarrassed if they talk too much.
The old and young are different.
"Hey, our mistresses can run and jump now. I remember when I left, you were only a little tall and you were peeing your pants all day long!"
As she said that, Su Ruoyun also gestured to a length, which was about the size of an adult man's shoe.
When Su Jingshen saw it, he immediately became anxious.
"Auntie lied, I'm much taller than this, and...I...I didn't pee my pants!"
At the end of the sentence, I felt out of control and even covered my butt. Thinking of the small map I had drawn a few days ago, my voice dropped an octave.
"You really didn't wet your pants? I don't believe it. I have to ask my grandma..."
When he mentioned his aunt, Su Jingshen suddenly became more anxious, but he couldn't think of how to refute his aunt, so he could only jump up and say:
"Auntie is bad! Auntie is bad!"
It looked like there was no three hundred taels of silver in this place.
Everyone in the room laughed.
Mrs. Lin looked at this scene with a smile on her lips at first. But as I watched, the remaining sadness suddenly became strong, and I wiped away tears unexpectedly.
It startled everyone in the room.
Su Ruoyun asked hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden?"
While asking, he turned to look at Su Henan.
At this time, everyone had left, and everyone in the room was alone, so Su Ruoyun didn't have so many worries.
"Brother, have you been wronged by my sister-in-law? I am just a sister-in-law. If you let me know what bad things you have done, I will never be done with you!"
Lin regarded her as her daughter, so why didn't Su Ruoyun regard Lin as half her mother?
At this moment, I became anxious. My first reaction was that my second brother had bullied my sister-in-law. I didn't want to give her any face, so I started questioning her directly.
Su Henan: "..."
He was shot even while lying down.
Seeing that the girl's eyes were about to burst into flames, Mrs. Lin didn't cry easily. Once she started crying, she would choke and become speechless.
Su Henan had no choice but to cough and think about how to defend himself.
They had been married for many years. Just now, his wife cried when Su Ruoyun was playing with her mistress. After thinking about it for a moment, Su Henan understood why his wife was crying.
I'm afraid I'm thinking of my previous life.
When my sister came back in her previous life, my mistress should have been gone, and the house was immersed in grief. What would it be like?
Just thinking about it, Su Henan couldn't help but sigh.
"Why would I bully your sister-in-law? Don't worry, no one in this house dares to make her angry."
Su Henan said.
Seeing Su Ruoyun snorting from her nose, obviously still not believing it, Su Henan didn't know how to explain it, so he simply said:
"Well, I can't explain it clearly, and you won't believe it if I tell you. I'd better let you see it for yourself."
"But no matter what you see or hear later, you have to pretend you don't know anything. Is that clear?"
At the end of the conversation, Su Henan looked like an old god was here.
Unfortunately, it's not just him.
The three nephews, big, medium and small, and Mrs. Lin, who was sobbing uncontrollably, also nodded.
Su Ruoyun:? ? ?
I've been away from home for too long and things have changed in my house?
I want to see what kind of medicine you sell in your gourd!
Under Su Ruoyun's disbelieving eyes, Su Henan called out to the maids outside and ordered them to bring the young lady over.
She was originally worried that Su Ruoyun would accidentally expose her niece when she suddenly saw her, so she didn't let her aunt and nephew meet immediately. It was just the right moment.
After being reminded by Su Henan, Su Ruoyun suddenly slapped her head.
Look at her parrot head!
We were busy chatting, and obviously read about it all the time when we came back. But we were so excited to see our relatives that we forgot to kiss our little niece that we should most meet!
It really deserves a beating!
But why are they so nervous when mentioning their little niece?
My sister-in-law even cried!
Is there anything bad about my little niece?
Some bad guesses flashed through her mind, and Su Ruoyun suddenly became nervous.
