The carriage reached halfway, and Su Xing led people to meet him halfway.
Fengling was sitting in front of the car and saw Su Xingze coming to pick her up. She turned around and said to Su Rong, "Sister, the eldest young master is here to pick her up."
Su Rong nodded, "I understand."
The eldest lady hadn't seen her son for a long time, but she didn't think twice about it. She waved her hand to Su Rong and said, "Tell him to talk about it when we get back. With you here, what should he do? It's a cold day, so I won't be waiting in the house." , messing around."
Su Rong showed her head and waved to Su Xingze with a smile, "Brother, mother said she doesn't want you, so we'll talk about it when we get home."
Su Xingze: "..."
Su Rong lowered the curtain unceremoniously.
Fengling glanced at Su Xingze with pity. What does it mean to be unhappy? That's why he drove the car without stopping and continued to move forward.
Su Xingze followed on horseback and asked Fengling in a low voice: "How are my mother and sisters? Are they injured?"
He had just received the news and found out that Concubine Zhibao had kidnapped his mother and sisters. It could be seen that Su Rong had received the news early on, but she chose not to tell him. I settled the matter myself.
He sighed deeply and finally understood that Su Rong really used this matter to tell her that there was no need to worry about her when she went to Nanchu in the future. She didn't even panic when something like this happened. What else could make her panic?
The carriage returned to Shen's mansion. At the door of the mansion, Shen Xian and Mrs. Shen stood waiting to greet them.
After the eldest lady got off the carriage, she was startled and hurriedly greeted Shen Xian and Mrs. Shen.
Shen Xian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the group of people were intact and uninjured, "As long as everyone is safe, please don't be polite, Mrs. Su."
Mrs. Shen even held the eldest lady's hand, "It's really scary. Xiao Qi kept it a secret. We didn't even know that something happened to you. I thought that you guys wouldn't arrive so soon, and we would have to wait as soon as possible." Only six or seven days. Who would have thought that I would be kidnapped?"
The eldest lady said: "I was kidnapped not far from my house. I obviously brought a lot of bodyguards with me, but I couldn't beat them. But I didn't suffer much along the way. I just had to rush and it was a bit bumpy. Xiao Qi We did the right thing, and letting you know is why a few more people are worried about us for nothing.”
Mrs. Shen nodded, "It's good that everyone is safe."
The eldest lady also nodded.
Mrs. Shen had already had the courtyard tidied up. The Shen mansion was large and there were not many people. Shen Xian had no concubines to share the house with, and there were many unused courtyards. Mrs. Shen greeted the eldest lady as she walked into the mansion and said to her: "Old Sister, when you come to the capital, you can rest assured to stay here. I have asked someone to clean up the yard. Although I can’t guarantee that your stay will be comfortable, you can feel at ease as if you were at home."
The eldest lady shook her head, "Just one night, we will go to the Xie Mansion in Dongsi Hutong tomorrow. We don't dare to bother you for a long time."
Mrs. Shen disagreed, "What did the old sister say? My house is very deserted. Since Xingze and Xiaoqi moved in, my house has become livelier. If you leave, I won't be able to adapt."
The eldest lady smiled, "I don't care about that."
Mrs. Shen had no choice but to look at Su Rong.
Su Rong said to Mrs. Shen: "Aunt Shen, my mother is not like me. She said she would only stay for one night, so just stay for one night. Don't stay. Anyway, Dongsi Hutong is not far from Shen's house."
After hearing this, Mrs. Shen stopped persuading, "Well, I should have known that you had had enough of the food in my house and would not be happy to live in it."
Su Rong stuck out her tongue playfully.
The eldest lady looked at Su Rong's appearance and slapped her hard on the head, "She looks like a child, not serious."
If it had been in the past, Su Rong would have dodged when the slap fell on his head. But now he didn't do it. He made a hiss and said speechlessly: "Mother, why are your hands so strong? The treatment for being kidnapped is pretty good." Drink?"
The lady laughed angrily, "One bun per meal, what do you think?"
Su Rong commented, "It's pretty good. I feel strong after eating white-flour steamed buns." She turned to Feng Yu and asked, "Do you like steamed buns?"
Feng Yu paused and said, "I don't like it."
He loves to eat rice.
Su Rong taught him seriously, "That won't work. Only by eating more steamed buns can you gain strength."
Feng Yu struggled to nod, "Okay."
The eldest lady wanted to pat Su Rong again, bullying the children to be honest and not care about what they eat.
The group of people chatted and laughed and entered the mansion. Mrs. Shen directly accompanied the eldest wife to the resettlement. The housekeeper took Feng Yu to the resettlement. Su Rong did not accompany him, but followed Shen Xian to the study to talk.
Seeing that his mother and sisters didn't miss him, Su Xingze simply stopped accompanying him and followed Shen Xian and Su Rong to the study.
After entering Shen Xian's study, Su Rong did not wait for Shen Xian to ask, and briefly explained to Shen Xian what had already been done in the chess game. After listening to it, Shen Xian praised appreciatively, "That's right. Make a decision and then act. It's foolproof, not only can it save your mother and sisters, but it can also attract the precious concubine to take action."
Su Rongxiao said, "The housekeeper is a good co-operator of King Ruian. He got sick in time."
"King Ruian..." Shen Xian said, "an old fox."
Su Rong nodded.
Shen Xian looked at Su Xingze, "Xingze, officialdom is like a battlefield, even more strange than the battlefield. You were also taught by Xie Yuan. What do you think of your sister's skills?"
Su Xingze glanced at Su Rong, "I'm not as good as my sister."
Because he didn't notice it, he thought she went back to the house to sleep, but he didn't expect that she sneaked out of the house and did such a big thing.
Shen Xian laughed and said, "That's right, so don't worry about her. Don't think about following her to Nanchu, and make contributions in Daliang. With your ability, you will definitely have a place in the future as an important minister in the court."
Su Xingze nodded, "My sister is so powerful, I have nothing to worry about."
Su Rong smiled proudly at Su Xingze.
The three of them chatted for half an hour. Shen Xian knew that Su Rong was tired, so he waved to the two of them, "Go and have a rest. Your Majesty is probably going to have a rest today."
With such a big incident happening, His Majesty can't go to court early.
Su Rong nodded, and together with Su Xingze, they left Shen Xian's study.
The heavy snow has not stopped and is still falling. The sky is pitch black. It is the darkest hour before dawn. Su Xingze said to Su Rong: "You should tell me about my mother. How can you bear the pressure alone?"
Su Rong turned her head and looked at him, "Brother, the results of the scientific examination haven't been released yet. Are you nervous during these waiting days?"
Su Xing pursed his lips.
Su Rong smiled at him, "You are nervous, aren't you? You obviously have the talent of number one scholar, but after coming to Beijing, you found that there are too many talents. There are many people competing with you for the position of number one scholar. Not to mention Zhou Gu, there is another Lu Fengyan, and Zhao Li'an. It's not that easy to get the third grade. Although you don't show your emotions every day, I can still tell."
Su Xingze glared at her helplessly, "This has nothing to do with what you told me."
"Of course it does matter." Su Rong said confidently, "I can solve the problem by myself and rescue my mother safely. Why should you worry about it? If I can't do such a small thing, how can I go south? Chu fights with the Nangong family that has been entrenched in Southern Chu for hundreds of years?"
She narrowed her eyes, "Nangong family, it would be great if it could be as simple as dealing with the precious concubine. Obviously, it is impossible."
Su Xingze couldn't talk to her, so he had no choice but to give up. Hearing her mention the Nangong family, he asked her: "When will the Second Young Master Ye set off? Are you really not going to leave with him? Now that he has helped His Highness break the situation, you will go with him." It’s safest to leave.”
Su Rong shook his head, "Don't leave in such a hurry. There are still many things to do. Just one precious concubine is not enough. There is also the Nanping Marquis Mansion, the maternal clan of the eldest prince and concubine. There is also the mother clan of the second prince and concubine, Ji Beipingxi General. This is the most difficult thing to deal with. Because they both hold military power, General Pingxi’s mansion among them may have a real relationship with the precious concubine. The precious concubine may not be able to testify against the general Pingxi’s mansion. And this case has nothing to do with the second prince. Big. There will still be fights in the days to come."
Su Xingze heard what she said and knew that she had her own plans, so he nodded, "Go back and rest quickly! With the prince here, your majesty will probably not take it lightly for what will happen next because of the pressure from the prince and the courtiers. Disappointed."
