Su Hanxuan didn’t go out to wee him. Instead, he quickly walked into the bedroom and told Su Qing anxiously,
“It’s your uncle. Don’te out. I’ll take him away.”
Uncle? So he was the Zhizhou of Luo City?
Su Qing nodded, indicating that she understood. Yang Ruxue wanted everyone to know that she had found her daughter. She asked Su Hanxuan in confusion,
” Brother-inw and the others are very concerned about Xi’er. Why don’t you let her go out?”
“I’ll tell youter.”
Su Hanxuan didn’t have time to exin to his wife. His daughter was still a wanted criminal in the imperial court. What if his brother-inw gave her up for his future? He had to ensure his daughter’s safety and find out who she had killed first. Only then could he let his Brother-inw know that Xi’er was back!
“Remember not to go out.”
Before leaving, he reminded Su Qing, making Yang Ruxue even more nervous.
“Xi’er, what happened to you outside?”
“Mother, I’ll tell youter.”
Su Qing listened to the sounds outside and had no time to talk to her. Yang Ruxue became even more nervous.
Su Hanxuan had just walked out of the door when he saw his sister-inw, brother-inw, and their daughter, Luan Hong, walking into the courtyard. He quickly went over to stop them.
“Ruxue just fell asleep. Don’t wake her up. Let’s talk in the front yard.”
“How is Ruxue?”
Yang Rubing was Yang Ruxue’s biological sister. If Yang Ruxue was the gentle spring breeze, she was the whistling north wind. She had a fiery personality and couldn’t hide anything.
The rtionship between the two sisters had always been very good. Over the years, Yang Rubing had helped her sister find many famous doctors, and her heart ached for her.
Previously, she found a wanted portrait sign that looked simr to her sister in the Zhizhou Mansion. She suspected it was Xi’er’s portrait and anxiously ran over to tell her sister.
Yang Rubing regretted her decision the moment she returned home. She was restless at home. Luan Zhizhou saw her anxiety and asked. When he found out that his wife had taken the portrait to see his sister, he scolded her angrily,” “How can you let Ruxue know about this? Don’t you know what illness she has?”
After being scolded by her husband, Yang Rubing couldn’t sit still anymore. She had toe and see her sister no matter what. She had already made up a lie to deceive Yang Ruxue. Not to mention that the portrait was a criminal wanted by the imperial court; she only said that the person she had saved had pasted the portrait to look for her benefactor. She had even dragged her husband here to make her sister believe it.
After Luan Hong was sent home by Yang Zhi, she was absent-minded. She kept feeling that someone woulde to catch her. When she heard that her parents would visit her third aunt, she did not dare to stay home and insisted oning.
Only then did the family of three report to the Su residence.
“It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have told her about the portrait.”
Facing her brother-inw, Yang Rubing med herself very much. Just now, when she heard from the personal maid serving Ruxue, Ah Zhi, that her sister’s illness was even more severe this time, her heart was like boiling oil, and she wanted to p herself twice.
“It’s fine. I’ll tell you anyway.”
Su Hanxuan looked helplessly at his impulsive and careless sister-inw. If Xi’er had not returned to save her mother, Ruxue would have lost her life because of his careless sister-inw. Therefore, there was still a hint of resentment in his tone.
“I’m sorry. My mouth is nasty.”
Her brother-inw scolded Yang Rubing after pping herself twice. He was worried that the sister would go to see Yang Ruxue after apologizing to Su Hanxuan.
“I’ll go and see her.”
“Second Sister, I finally coaxed her to sleep. When she wakes up, she will still hurt herself.”
Su Hanxuan stopped Yang Rubing, who was about to barge in. His words scared her.
She had seen how scary Yang Ruxue was when she had a rpse. She cuts herself with a knife until she is bleeding. The scene was heart-wrenching.
” Madam, don’t go in. Let’s wait in the front yard. We’ll visit Ruxue when she wakes up.”
Luan Zhizhou also helped his brother-inw persuade his wife. Unlike his wife’s fiery temper, Luan Zhizhou had a calm personality and did things methodically. He and Yang Rubing were deeply in love and had a good rtionship.
Luan Zhizhou’s full name was Luan Qingshan. The two of them had been engaged since they were young. The Luan family had once fallen into dire straits because of their carelessness in making friends. The Yang family was reluctant to marry their daughter to a poor boy and wanted to break off the engagement. Ultimately, the fiery Yang Rubing held a knife to her neck and negotiated with her parents. A daughter could not marry two husbands. Her parents only had two choices. One was to let her marry Luan Qingshan, and the other was to collect her corpse.
The Yang family’s parents had no choice but to agree to their daughter’s marriage. They were afraid that she would suffer and marry with a rich dowry. Luan Qingshan relied on his wife’s dowry to study in peace. He passed the two Jinshi exams and was assigned to Luo City as the Zhizhou.
He didn’t abandon his wife after rising to the top. Yang Rubing was pregnant with another child after giving birth to Luan Hong. Ultimately, she fell when she was five months old, and the baby boy died. She fell ill and never got pregnant again.
There were three ways to be unfilial. Logically speaking, Luan Qingshan could marry a concubine and have children. However, he refused to marry a concubine to be worthy of his wife’spany when she was poor. He would never take a concubine. Even if Yang Rubing brought her back to the residence, he would give her silver and send her away.
The two of them only had one precious girl, Luan Hong, and they doted on her especially. Because of this, they understood how Su Hanxuan and Yang Ruxue missed their daughter.
Yang Ruxue heard the conversation between her sister and brother-inw inside the house and said nothing. She had been watching her daughter nervously. Although Yang Ruxue had been sick for a few years, she was brilliant. The wanted portrait sign and her husband’s words made her realize that her daughter had caused trouble outside, and it was huge trouble.
She did not care how much trouble her daughter had caused outside. If the sky fell, she would bear it for her daughter.
Su Qing looked at the change in Yang Ruxue’s expression. At first, she was suspicious, then she gradually understood, and then she became more and more determined.
Although thin and weak, she was like a mountain her daughter could rely on.
” Xi’er, don’t be afraid. Mother will protect you.”
Su Qing felt the motherly love that was as strong as a mountain. Neither noticed that Little Chen had opened the door and ran out.
“Uncle, Second Aunt, Sister Hong.”
Little Chen ran over to Yang Rubing and Luan Qingshan with short legs. His sweet voice was heard before he even reached them.
Yang Rubing also doted on Little Chen because she had miscarried a baby boy. Little Chen didn’t feel the motherly love from Yang Ruxue, but he felt it from Yang Rubing, so Little Chen was very close to Yang Rubing and Luan Qingshan.
“Little Chen.”
Yang Rubing seeing Little Chen, quickly bent down and picked him up. She sighed and looked at the child’s pink clothes and the two tiny nails on his head.
” Ruxue, you better get better soon. Otherwise, Little Chen will be a girl.”
“Yes.”
Su Hanxuan replied absent-mindedly. His entire body had tensed up when Little Chen ran out, and he could not help but turn around to look at the half-opened door.
“Little Chen.”
Luan Qingshan looked at Little Chen and couldn’t help but smile. He called his name lovingly.
“Hello, Uncle.”
Little Chen called him uncle obediently and even mischievously scratched his uncle’s beard with his chubby little hands. Little Chen’s round eyes were smiling like crescent moons. He was so happy.
Luan Qingshan did not avoid it and let Little Chen y with his beard. This was also the scene the two would have every time they met.
“Little Chen, you came out of the house just now.. Is Ruxue awake? No, I have to go in and see her!
