Chapter 475 - Chapter 475: Chapter 482: Secretly Making A Move (2/2)

Upon hearing Master Su’s words, Madam Su’s complexion changed: “What do we do, old master? Quickly think of something. We must ensure that Lady Yue and the children are safe, even if it means sacrificing my old life.”

“Need you say it? When our son-in-law entrusted our daughter to me, I promised to safeguard their mother and child’s safety. Besides, she is my daughter and they are my grandchildren. How can I just stand by and watch them be in danger?” Master Su said without a second thought. However, easy to say, it was hard to do. Besides, those people were likely targeting his daughter, and they probably wouldn’t spare anyone but his daughter. He needed to think of a foolproof plan.

At this moment, Su Wenyue was calmer than anyone might have imagined. Although she was worried, she was not afraid. Now was not the time to be afraid. For the sake of her children, she was ready to do whatever it took to ensure their safety. And for her parents—Su Wenyue could never allow Mr. and Mrs. Su to sacrifice themselves for her and her children. In her previous life, her biggest regret was leaving them behind. Now that she had a second chance, she hadn’t had the opportunity to repay them properly; how could she let them come to harm!

However, although Su Wenyue thought this way, she did not show it, only secretly planning. Otherwise, if her parents sensed her intentions, they would certainly not agree.

“Father, Mother, don’t worry for now. Since they haven’t made a move yet and are only watching from the shadows, it shows that they weren’t sure of our identities to begin with. We still have time to make arrangements. As long as we plan well, once the people from my sister-in-law’s family come to escort us, we will be safe.”

Indeed, their goal was to seek refuge with the Feng family, which was Feng Ruolin’s mother’s family and related to the Su Family by marriage, known for keeping their word, reliable and, being Jianghu people and living far away, beyond the reach of the court’s hand—safer than any other place.

Had it not been for the heavy rains delaying them for several days, they would have already been within the sphere of influence of the Feng family. After learning of the suspicious individuals snooping on them, Master Su, in an abundance of caution, sent a messenger for help from the Feng family posthaste. They should have arrived at the Feng family by now, hopefully before those people make their move.

“I wonder if the people from the Feng family are already on the way?”

“Considering the time, they should be on their way here. However, we can not rely entirely on the Feng family; we still need to think of our own way out.” Su Wenyue didn’t mistrust the Feng family, but her life’s experiences had taught her that it was better to rely on oneself. The court knew of the Su family’s connection to the Feng family, and they might have taken precautions. If they placed all their hopes on the Feng family and if the family failed to arrive in time, they would be left with no alternatives.

“Let us employ a strategy of ‘ostensible repair of the walls while secretly tunneling an entry’…” Su Wenyue said, her mind sparking with inspiration. She then quietly shared her plan with Mr. and Mrs. Su.

“Is this really feasible? No, I’m not comfortable with it. Why don’t you take the children and leave in disguise while your father and I divert the enemy’s attention?”

“Yes, indeed. You are the children’s birth mother; they can be without anyone but not you. That settles it. We’ll handle diverting the enemies. You just focus on getting the children out safely,”

When Mr. and Mrs. Su heard Su Wenyue’s plan, their first reaction was the same—they didn’t want their daughter to risk luring the enemies away. Su Wenyue had anticipated her parents’ reaction.
