Chapter 405
~ NOT FROM THE SU FAMILY? ~
Mu Yunyao supported Su Qing walked into the room. Just as they reached the inner door, they heard Su Wenyuan’s angry shout. He deliberately did not lower his voice as if to let everyone know.
Su Qing stretched out her hand to grasp Mu Yunyao’s finger and squeezed it with a slight force. "Yao’er, have you thought about what kind of courtyard we’re going to buy?"
When she saw Su Qing’s encouraging gaze, a smile suddenly blossomed. "Mother, we’ll buy whatever kind of courtyard you like. There are many good courtyards in the Capital, and the scenery is also pretty good. We can slowly choose."
Su Qing smiled and nodded, "Alright, this time you have to be more careful. After all, you have to stay here for a long time."
"Listen to Mother."
Inside Jiyue Pavilion, Jin Lan, Jin Qiao, and the others were quickly packing their things. Su Qing went upstairs to help while Mu Yunyao sat in the main hall and waited for Liu Liang to return.
Not long after, Liu Liang entered through the door. "Greetings, Mistress."
"No need to be so courteous. Are your wounds alright?" "Mistress, you don’t have to worry. It’s all right." Liu Liang got up, his eyes were calm without a ripple, but a light flashed when he looked at Mu Yunyao, "Mistress, the Su family’s residence gate has already been closed, and there are also guards guarding it. All carriages and horses have been controlled, but we need someone to come and help us."
Mu Yunyao shook her head slightly. "Those people under you can’t be used easily. The more secret they are, the more they can play a role at the critical moment. The Su family is thinking too highly of themselves. Do they really think that they can trap my mother and me here just by closing the residence door?"
Liu Liang suddenly turned his head. "Mistress, someone is coming."
Mu Yunyao nodded at him, indicating for him to hide behind a screen at the side. As soon as Liu Liang hid, Second Madam brought Su You into the hall.
"Greetings Second Aunt, Elder Sister Su You."
The Second Madam’s face was full of worry as she helped Su You to sit down, then said: "Yunyao, Su You said she remembered something and wanted to tell you about it."
"Elder Sister Su You, what do you want to say?"
Su You tightly clenched her fingers. Her face was pale and carrying a heavy uneasiness: "Yunyao, I’m not sure if what I’m saying is true or not. However, when I saw Mo Yu fished out of the pond today, I suddenly remembered something. It should be very long time ago, i it seems to be when I was five or six years old..."
Seeing Su You tremble so badly, Mu Yunyao poured a cup of hot tea and put it in her hand, "Elder Sister Su You, you don’t need panic. Just slow down and say whatever you want to say."
"I don’t know if I can remember clearly. I’ve always been in poor health. My mother was worried that something had happened to me, so she didn’t let me go out to play. My temper was also not good, and all my sisters refused to come close to me. I like to hide in corners and watch people come and go. That day, I went to Ninghe Gardenand happened to see … cough cough...."
