After Yuewan saw off Nanny Zhao, she returned to the yard and saw Su Rong sitting in front of the window with her chin propped up, not knowing what to think, looking very absorbed.
She approached Su Rong and asked, "Miss, are you thinking about Young Master Zhou?"
Su Rong turned to look at her, "How did you see that I was thinking about him?"
Yue Wan chuckled, "Isn't it said in the drawing book? When a woman misses spring, she looks out the window, her eyes fall on one spot, and she doesn't look around for half a day, shy and timid..."
Su Rong rolled her eyes, "Am I shy?"
"That's not true. It's just that you look like this, with a calm face and an expression of being absorbed in your thoughts." Yuewan analyzed everything in detail, "What else can you think about? Of course you are thinking about Young Master Zhou?"
Su Rong was speechless and reached out to hit her on the head, "I see him every day, so I don't have to think about him. I'm thinking about my mother."
"Ah? Do you miss Qi Yiniang?" Yuewan sat down next to Su Rong and sighed, "Qi Yiniang was such a good person, but it's a pity that she died so early. I was young at that time, but now after so many years, I have become a little bit... I can’t remember clearly what Qi Yiniang looks like.”
Su Rong's view of Qi Yiniang's face was also somewhat vague. When she burned the Nuanxiang Pavilion, not even a portrait of her mother was left. As time went by, the little impression she had in her memory naturally became weaker and weaker. , she asked: "Did Aunt Zhao ask about my mother?"
Yuewan shook his head.
Su Rong was surprised, "Didn't you ask?"
Yue Wan still shook her head, "Mother Zhao only said that Miss Guan's appearance does not look like that of a prefect. Could it be that she followed Qi Yiniang? I said yes."
"anything else?"
"Mama Zhao said that she had an old friend. You are somewhat similar to her old friend." Yuewan relayed the original words of Aunt Zhao to Su Rong. Seeing that Su Rong was 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 Aunt Zhao came from the palace and had served the Queen Mother for half her life. She said that the rules her mother gave her were orthodox palace rules, so they should be indispensable. Could it be that her mother came from the palace? The people who have been coming to kill her since her mother died were people sent by the palace?
Just as she was thinking about it, a servant came into the yard and handed her a letter, "Miss Seventh, your letter."
Su Rong reached out and took it, opened it and read it, then threw the letter into the incense burner and stepped out of the door. Seeing Yue Wan coming with a plate of pastries, she pinched a piece casually and kept walking, "Go tell me Call mother, I need to go out for a while."
Yuewan said "Hey", "Miss, when will you come back?"
Su Rong took a look at the sky and said, "You don't have to wait for me to have dinner, let's go to bed!"
Yuewan responded.
Su Rong was used to climbing over the wall, so she went straight out of the house and went to Zui'e Fang according to the location in the letter. When she arrived, Lan Niang was already waiting for her. Seeing her coming, she glanced at the door and motioned for her to close the door. .
Su Rong closed the door, walked over to her and asked, "Why are you so anxious to call me out?"
Lan Niang lowered her voice, "There is a big thing, about you." She seemed to be afraid that the wall had ears, so she came closer to Su Rong, covered her lips and put her lips close to Su Rong's ear and said in a breathy voice: "It seems that someone has come to Jiangning County in the past few days. , checking you secretly."
"What are you checking me for?"
"life experience."
Su Rong frowned, "Who is it?"
"I don't know where he came from." Lan Niang shook her head, "This person is very secretive. If you hadn't asked us to discuss the arrangements for going to the capital a few days ago, I would have called everyone together to get involved. With our previous laziness, we might not have been able to Discover."
"What does this man look like?" Su Rong asked.
Lan Niang pulled out a scroll from her sleeve, "I have asked someone to draw a portrait. He is quite handsome and young, but his martial arts is very high. I am afraid that the most powerful Fengyue among us can barely be his." opponent."
Su Rong nodded, took the portrait and took a look, "Okay, I understand, just let him check it, don't disturb him, tell Feng Yue when this person will leave, and ask Feng Yue to 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 feel that you are becoming more and more dangerous? Just in case, I will arrange for someone to protect you closely, right?"
Su Rong shook his head, "As long as I don't leave Jiangning County, no one can kill me. There's no need to send anyone. I just have to be careful."
At worst, she won't leave the house these days.
Seeing her refusal, Lan Niang had no choice but to give up, "I have 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 it will not be so easy in the early stage. If you move the fastest, settle down. It will probably take two or three months, and we can’t have a large number of people pass by, as the movement will be too big and attract attention.”
"Well, there's no rush." Su Rong waved her hand, "I'm making preparations for marrying into the Duke Protector's Mansion in the future, but maybe I won't be able to marry Zhou Gu. I just want to give it a try and tell them not to be impatient. "
Lan Niang nodded and sighed, "I don't know what your mother's background is, or what kind of powerful enemy is so persistent in wanting to kill you."
Su Rong was silent.
"Prefect Su is not your biological father, right?" Lan Niang said suddenly.
Su Rong raised her eyebrows, "Would you be so nice to someone who is not your biological daughter?"
"I definitely won't, but I can't say for sure about Governor Su." Lan Niang looked seriously and looked at Su Rong's features carefully, "After all, you really don't look like Governor Su."
Su Rong was noncommittal.
Isn't it, she knows very well.
Lan Niang said again: "I heard that Mr. Xie is back. Mr. Xie is so kind to you. Do you think Mr. Xie will know your life experience? He is a powerful person. He is willing to stay in Jiangning for so many years. Why? ? It can’t really be just to get along with the prefect, right? If it were before, I would have believed this, but no matter how I think about it now, I feel that Mr. Money. And when you asked Mr. Xie to take us in, you didn’t want to be known, and it was Mr. Xie who shouldered the responsibility. I always feel that Mr. Xie stayed in Jiangning for you."
"He did it for my mother." Su Rong said in surprise, "He admires my mother, but for some reason, my mother became my father's concubine."
Lan Niang was shocked.
"I will find an opportunity to talk to sir." Su Rong felt that Xie Yuan thought she was young and didn't say anything in the past. Now that she is old enough, he should tell her if there is anything.
Lan Niang nodded and sighed, "It turns out that people like Mr. Xie can't escape the word love. No wonder he is always alone without a wife."
After the two of them finished talking about business, they chatted as usual while eating and had two drinks. After the meal, seeing that it was still early, Lan Niang asked Su Rong, "I haven't listened to music for a while, how about that?" Let's go listen to the music? Anyway, I heard that your fiancé was also taken to listen to the music by you. He has seen how you go out of your way."
The implication is, is it okay to come home late? Can it be the same as before?
Su Rong shook his head, "I just went there yesterday. If I don't want to go, you can go by yourself!"
"Didn't you stop at Fengyue Tower yesterday?" Lan Niang asked.
Su Rong was angry when she saw that she didn't open any pot and said, "Zhou Gu was angry yesterday and fell out with me. I have to go back and coax him today."
Lan Niang smiled, "Can you still coax people?"
"Of course." Su Rong stood up, "I'm leaving."
