The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 52 Lu Xueying’s closeness

 “That’s full of nonsense! Mrs. Sun, is this the good daughter you disciplined?”

Su Changqing's eyes widened, he shook his sleeves and walked out without paying attention to the people around him.

Mammy Li was holding the medicine when she was hit by Su Changqing and almost fell out.

Finally holding on to the medicine bowl, Grandma Li raised her eyes and looked into the room, her expression a bit solemn.

“Yun’er, what do you mean by what you just said?”

Sun Jiarou looked at Su Leyun blankly, her heart beating rapidly and her hands and feet feeling cold.

Su Leyun couldn't help biting his lower lip when he saw her pale lips.

 “Mom, I just...”

"Yun'er, you can deceive mother, but Su Changqing can't. After all these years, can mother still not know the temperament of the person next to her?"

 Sun Jiarou couldn't help but take a few breaths as she spoke, and she felt a little breathless.

 She clutched her chest and bent down tiredly.

 “Mother!”

Su Leyun and Su Ye quickly stepped forward and looked at Sun Jiarou worriedly.

“Yun’er, tell mother, what do you know?”

Sun Jiarou pinched Su Leyun's wrist, her eyes firm but filled with sadness.

Su Leyun closed his eyes, opened them and took a deep breath, "Mom, there are some things that you will know once you see them."

She turned her head and looked at Nanny Li, who nodded clearly, put down the bowl in her hand, and walked out.

Sun Jiarou raised her eyes and looked at the leaving figure of Grandma Li. She seemed to be deflated and slowly leaned back on the chair.

In just a moment, Grandma Li came back.

She was holding a small wooden box, not too big, with a lock on it.

Mama Li took out the key from her sleeve and opened the wooden box.

There was an account book, some letters, and a handkerchief inside.

Su Ye moved quickly, stepped forward and took out the account book, flipped through a few pages, and his face suddenly became ugly.

Sun Jiarou was supported by Su Leyun and walked to the wooden box, her eyes fell directly on the handkerchief.

 The next second, she took out the handkerchief.

 Under the candlelight, there are a few strands of silk thread in the corner of the handkerchief, which are different in color from the surrounding ones.

 Faintly forming a moon.

"Madam, do you still remember the day when the old slave brought soup to the Marquis?" Aunt Li sighed, "Although the old slave is old, his eyes are still good. The shoes that the Marquis wore that day were clearly not the same ones he had in the morning. A pair. And that pair of shoes are sewn using the Suzhou embroidery method. I have been with you for so many years, and I can recognize your embroidery method even if you close your eyes."

"Later, I went to the embroidery room to ask. None of the embroiderers knew how to embroider. Recently, the Marquis didn't ask anyone in the embroidery room to sew new shoes. Where did the shoes come from?"

 “Maybe he bought it outside.”

Sun Jiarou’s voice was very low, and even she didn’t believe this excuse.

Aunt Li and Su Leyun looked at each other, and then continued: "The old slave also ran out of ideas for a moment, so he told the lady. These things were found by Cuiliu. The account book in the young master's hand belongs to the Marquis. Found it in the study."

 “Ye’er.”

 “Mom, take a look.”

Su Ye loosened the account book in his hand. Perhaps he used too much force, leaving a few creases on the account book.

This account book looked a bit old. Sun Jiarou looked through it from the beginning, and her expression became calmer.

Su Leyun and Su Ye were both worried, fearing that Sun Jiarou wouldn't be able to bear it.

“Twenty years, he is really powerful, he hid it from me for twenty years!”

Sun Jiarou suddenly let out a chuckle, and the candlelight swayed with a bit of coldness.

The things recorded in the account book were not very detailed, but after looking at each item, the guesses in Sun Jiarou's mind were gradually confirmed.

 Her good husband, whom she had always loved, betrayed her twenty years ago!

“I’m afraid that now that I see my Sun family in despair, I don’t want to hide it anymore.”

“Mother, why don’t you make peace with me?”

Su Leyun suddenly spoke. Su Ye was startled, but he quickly nodded.

Sun Jiarou closed the account book and said calmly: "I'll think about this again. Ye'er, Yun'er, you all go back and rest first."

Su Leyun wanted to say something else, but when she saw Grandma Li shaking her head, she swallowed it.

 Snow started to fall outside the house. Su Ye walked to one side and held an umbrella for his sister.

“Sister, what do you think my mother will do?”

Su Ye turned his head and looked at Su Leyun.

Looking at the snowflakes flying in front of her eyes, Su Leyun stretched out her hand. A few snowflakes fell on her fingertips and melted quickly.

“No matter what decision my mother makes, I will stand by her side.”

 “Brother will also be on your side.”

Su Ye looked at his sister's face and swore to himself that he would protect his mother and sister.

 The next day, Su Leyun went to the old lady's yard to say hello.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, several people in the room looked over.

“Grandma, Yun’er wishes you well.”

　　"Yes." The old lady nodded, "How is your mother's health?"

“The doctor looked at it and said he should rest more.”

Su Leyun returned.

 The old lady pointed to Lu Xueya who was sitting on one side, "That is your cousin Xueya."

 “Hello, cousin Xue Ya.”

 “This is Xueying, one year younger than you.”

 “Cousin Xueying.”

Su Leyun greeted the two of them one by one. Lu Xueya looked calm and nodded in response.

Lu Xueying jumped up to Su Leyun, held her arm affectionately, and asked: "Sister Yun'er, there is an event on Chang'an Street in the evening, shall we go together?"

 “Okay, I haven’t gone out much since I came back.”

Su Leyun also seemed very close to Lu Xueying. The smiles on their faces fell into Su Wan'er's eyes, which was extremely dazzling.

The old lady looked at them happily and said with a smile: "It just so happens that the four of you sisters go out for a walk together, so as to enhance our relationship."

She looked at Su Wan'er and said, "Wan'er, you are familiar with the capital, so you must take good care of your sisters. Yun'er and Xueying must also listen to Wan'er and don't cause trouble for your sister Wan'er."

 “Grandma, we won’t get into trouble!”

Lu Xueying pursed her lips and was dissatisfied.

The old lady nodded her mouth and said, "I think you are the one who will cause the most trouble."

Su Leyun stayed for a while and asked to see Sun Jiarou before leaving the yard.

Outside Huairou Pavilion, Grandma Li was sighing when she saw Su Leyun's figure.

"Miss."

 “Isn’t mother awake yet?”

Mama Li shook her head, "Madam won't let us enter the house."

Looking at the closed door, Su Leyun stepped forward and knocked on the door.

“Mom, can Yun’er come in?”

For a while, there was no movement inside.

Su Leyun was a little worried and reached out to push the door open, but the door opened first.

Sun Jiarou came out of the house, dressed a little differently than before.

　　seems to be more refined.

"Yun'er, you don't have to worry about mother. Even if it's for you and Ye'er, mother won't do anything stupid."

Knowing Su Leyun's worries, Sun Jiarou comforted her.

He looked at Nanny Li again and said, "Nanny, prepare the car for me. I'll go back to Sun Mansion."

 “Mom, Yun’er, let’s go with you.”

Sun Jiarou was about to refuse, but then she remembered something and said, "Well, you will know some things in the future, so I might as well tell you earlier."
