Chapter 480 - Chapter 480: Chapter 487: What to Do (2/2)

“Speak! Who sent you? Why did you betray us and deliberately reveal the whereabouts of the Madam and Young Master Miss? Do not lie, tell the truth, or do not blame me for being ruthless!”

The maid, pressured by Master Su’s imposing aura, trembled with fear, feeling truly wronged. She did not have the courage to betray her mistress.

“Master, please do not misunderstand. I would never dare to betray you. What happened just now was in accordance with the orders of Madam,” the maid hurriedly explained, fearing Master Su’s wrath.

“What did you say? This was your Madam’s intention?” Master Su asked in disbelief, unable to understand why his daughter would do such a thing, risking her own safety and that of her child. However, after a brief consideration, he understood the reason— his daughter must have sensed the danger and did not want her elderly parents to face it, hence her arrangement.

Thinking of this, Master Su was both worried and in a hurry, his feelings conflicted. He hoped his daughter and grandson were safe, yet he felt comforted by his daughter’s concern for him and his wife. Nonetheless, he could not stand the thought of his daughter and grandson coming to harm.

“It was the instruction of the Madam before she left. I am the Madam’s servant, I heed only her commands.”

This maid’s ‘loyalty’ left Master Su both frustrated and resentful. Looking at the simple-minded girl in front of him, he understood why his daughter had entrusted this task to such a maid.

Madam Su immediately guessed the reason for her daughter’s actions as well and began to cry with worry, incessantly wiping away her tears and feeling extremely anxious.

“Master, what shall we do? Lady Yue took three children with her, and they are certainly no match for those men. If they fall into their hands, what will we do? Our foolish daughter! If something happens to her and the children, what point will there be for us to go on living?”

Although Master Su was worried, being a man, he was somewhat calmer than Madam Su: “Madam, worrying now is useless. What we’ll do is, I will send some people to take you to the Feng family, and the rest will come with me to rescue our daughter and grandson. Since our daughter made such an arrangement, there must be a reason, and she should be able to hold them off for a while, until we can reach and rescue her.”

When the maid heard Master Su say this, she spoke up: “Master, you and Madam cannot go; this is the letter left behind by Madam. Once you read it, you will understand.”

“What? Lady Yue has left a letter? Why didn’t you say so sooner!” Master Su became truly angry, shooting a stern glance at the heedless maid. He snatched the letter she produced from her sleeve and immediately opened it.

After reading the content of the letter, Master Su’s expression changed. Madam Su, watching anxiously by his side, couldn’t wait and asked, “Master, what does our daughter say in the letter?”

Master Su lacked the strength to relay the message, looking disheartened as he handed the letter to his wife for her to read the content herself. He couldn’t fathom why his daughter would come up with such a foolish plan on the spur of the moment— labeled as wise, she thought of such an idea in so little time.
