Shengjing Noble

Chapter 670 Just come back

"It's already very tempting. It will take at least three to five days to get back."

"Okay... I understand. You can leave now."

"……Yes."

Su Lanyin looked at the old man deeply, then turned and left the room.

As soon as she came out, she saw a little boy hiding behind a pillar, looking at her with timidity and uneasiness in his eyes.

She knew that this was the child of the adulterous couple.

After all, he has raised them for so many years, and I’m afraid the old man would be reluctant to kick them out like this.

Besides, the adults’ mistakes cannot be blamed on the children.

She had seen the child several times during the days she had been here. He did not have any of Su Yaozu's bad habits. Perhaps it was because Tao Li was busy with her affair and had no time to take care of him, so the child was basically taught by the old man.

Thinking of this, Su Lanyin squatted down and waved at the child: "Xiaoyang, come here."

His name is Lu Chaoyang, a name given to him by his grandfather, who hoped that he would live facing the sun, be upright and kind.

The child hesitated for a moment, and finally approached Su Lanyin timidly.

"Hello, Auntie..."

Pretty polite.

Su Lanyin thought about it, reached out and touched the child's head, then asked softly: "Did you see what happened just now?"

Lu Chaoyang is already eight years old, so he naturally understands everything.

"I saw it... Actually... I know everything... My mother didn't let me tell anyone. She asked me to call that man daddy, but I didn't want to, and she beat me."

He lowered his head in grievance, as if he had made some mistake.

"Aunt... my mother... can she come back?"

Su Lanyin frowned: "She treated you like this, and you still want her to come back?"

"I...I hope that even if she hits me, she is still my mother..."

"But she had someone poison your grandfather and try to kill him."

"what?"

Lu Chaoyang only heard some words outside, but didn't know about these things. His face turned pale suddenly, and something in his heart seemed to collapse in an instant.

"How could she do this... Grandfather was the best person to me... How could she do this..."

"Xiaoyang, is your grandfather good to you?"

"Grandpa is the best person in the world to me!"

"Then don't mention your mother in front of him, okay?"

"Well, I promise not to mention it!" Although Lu Chaoyang is soft-hearted, he is also a sensible child. He knows who is good and who is bad, and who is more important.

"Also... don't believe those unfounded claims. You are your grandfather's grandson, a child of the Lu family. Remember that?"

"remember."

"You must study hard, and when you grow up, become an honest, kind, and useful person to the world."

"A useful person?"

Lu Chaoyang was still young, so he didn’t quite understand what was said.

"You will understand it slowly."

Su Lanyin took his little hand and walked out of Wanshouyuan.

At this moment, it seemed as if something filled the wound in her heart.

Perhaps because she lost two children, she felt an irresistible emotion towards her other children.

That regret...can only be buried in my heart forever.

……

When Lu Yichen came back and learned the whole story, he felt extremely guilty and knelt down in front of the old man's door and kowtowed.

He said that it was because of his carelessness at the beginning that Tao Li took advantage of the opportunity and entered the Lu family.

If he hadn't been such a playboy, he wouldn't have nearly killed the old man.

He had no feelings for Lu Chaoyang. As soon as he saw him, he remembered the humiliation and helplessness he had felt in the past.

So, now all that's left is disgust.

The old man is not as healthy as before and can no longer take care of the children, and Lu Yichen just wants to kick him out of the house.

Fortunately, Lu Wanjun took the initiative to take the child and raised him together with Su Lanyin.

As if he understood his situation in the Lu family, Lu Chaoyang began to become less talkative, less cheerful, and more taciturn.

……

The next day.

After finishing all the matters, Lu Wanjun arrived outside Su Lanyin's room early in the morning.

"Daya, are you awake?"

Inside the house, Su Lanyin sat in front of the dressing table and looked at her original appearance in the mirror. Her heart sank and she felt that it was time to tell the truth.

So she got up and went to open the door.

When Lu Wanjun looked up and saw her face, she was stunned and then opened her mouth in surprise.

Su Lanyin quickly pulled her into the house and closed the door.

"Daya? No, Yinyin? Why is it you?"

Lu Wanjun was not stupid and understood it instantly.

No wonder she always felt a sense of familiarity with Niu Daya, making her want to get close to her.

Now it seems that she is really her biological daughter!

Su Lanyin hurriedly explained: "Mother, I have no choice but to do this. I am worried that Fu Wuyang will..."

Before she could finish her words, Lu Wanjun hugged her in her arms, caring for her as if she had found a treasure.

"It's good to be back... It's good to be back..."

"Mother, I've always wanted to ask you, where is my third brother? Why can't I see him in Quanzhou?"

When we were forced to separate, we agreed to meet in Quanzhou. Why is Su Shengming not here?

Lu Wanjun explained, "Of course your third brother came, and I arranged a wedding for him and Huai Zhi. Later, the business in Shengjing really needed someone to manage it, and your second brother was too busy with official duties to take care of it, so I had no choice but to let the couple return to Beijing."

"So that's it."

"What about you? What are your plans next? Do you want to stay with me?"

Su Lanyin nodded: "Yes, I escaped and hid in a village for a while. I didn't dare to come back until the storm had passed."

Lu Wanjun was distressed: "My good daughter, inexplicably like a fugitive, no, I must ask the emperor for justice when I return to the capital, even if it costs me my life, I will make you leave Xiaoyao Palace."

Su Lanyin was deeply moved, but she didn't want to worry her family.

"This is between Fu Wuyang and me, mother should stop interfering."

"How can that be? You are my daughter, and a mother's duty is to protect her children!"

"Thank you, mother. I will find a way to divorce him, but not now."

"Okay, then you will stay in Quanzhou and help the Lu family manage their business."

"Oh, I see."

The mother and daughter smiled at each other, then hugged each other again.

Like when she was a child, whenever Su Lanyin was wronged outside, she would always run back to Suiyuexuan and hug her mother to talk.

If only time could go a little slower... maybe she would have more stability and happiness.

……

Three years passed in the blink of an eye.

Time flies by like an arrow, always catching us off guard.

A lot has happened in Shengjing in these three years.

Several princes met with accidents one after another. They were either sentenced to exile or imprisoned in the palace and were not allowed to leave without being summoned. Another prince even died of poisoning.

The old emperor originally had many descendants, but now only Fu Mingchuan is left.

Fortunately, he is no longer the sickly boy he used to be. The emperor thinks highly of him and even intends to train him as the crown prince.
