C77 (2/2)
After the servants passed down the dishes, the three gathered together for a meal.
Su Zhi was truly excited. Liu Yuan was the future Prime Minister, and a perfect candidate for that. Who knew, perhaps he would be recorded in a history book and be passed down throughout the ages.
Halfway through their meal, an old lady came to the courtyard to pass on a message that the madame was asking Liu Yu An to return.
Only then did Su Zhi realize that it wouldn't be a problem for Lord Liu to eat with his aunt, at most, a few words from his mother. But she was an outsider, and it was not polite to do so.
Liu Yu felt that it didn't matter. He didn't care about the truth. Eldest Aunt Liu was afraid that her sister-in-law would interrogate him, so she hurriedly urged him to leave.
Su Zhi stood up, took out a few silver ingots, and handed them over to him. ”I am indebted to sire for your help. My gratitude is indescribable.”
Liu Yu An shook his head and laughed: ”Didn't I say that we don't need to pay back the money?”
Su Zhi was adamant that they should pay. No one's silver had come from a rich family. Although it wasn't much, she wasn't used to coveting for people to take advantage of her.
Since he couldn't force her, Liu Yuan had his servants accept the silver, bid them farewell, and left.
Not long after they had finished eating, Su Zhi saw that it was getting late and needed some time to make a trip back. She did not linger to bid farewell to Auntie Liu.
Auntie Liu had been alone for a long time, so she was reluctant to part with him. ”Little Su, although our ages are quite different, we can still chat together. In the future, you have to come visit more.”
”Sigh, in the future when I have more free time, I will come and see you.”
Only after making a promise did Lady Liu reluctantly send her away.
Just as Su Zhi took two steps forward, two little kids appeared out of nowhere. The two of them went forward and hugged her, unable to move.
”Aiyo, my two little ancestors, where did this come from? Where did this old lady go?”
Auntie Liu and the maidservants hurried forward to pull the two children away. Su Zhi asked in doubt, ”Who are these two children?”
”Little Su, don't blame me. They are the two children of my nephew.”
Su Zhi squatted down and looked at the two little fellows. She was intrigued to discover that the two chubby kids looked ninety percent alike.
The two babies were raised well, they were fair, cute and innocent, and innocent. They were about the same size as a bean bun.
”Speaking of which, my daughter-in-law gave birth to these two twins. She was unable to save them, so unfortunately, she left.”
So it was Liu Yuan's two youngest sons. They were so pitiful, having lost their mother the moment they were born.
Su Zhi smiled amiably at the two children, fished out a pack of candy from her bosom and handed it over.
One of the children, not wanting to admit his death, stepped forward and smiled back. Then, he stretched out his hand and took the candy.
The two little fellows snuggled up to each other. They really enjoyed the fruit candy in their hands.
At this time, the young wet nurse who had been looking for them finally cried and took the two children away. She only recited the words' heart and liver ', but it was enough to scare people to death.
After leaving the Liu Estate, Su Zhi slowed down her pace. She was not in a hurry to find a carriage, instead, she thought about the General's Estate.
Last time, when he went to beg someone that was blocked by that domineering princess, what if he was stopped this time?
Besides, Xiao Qian wasn't necessarily happy with her. After all, he had offended her.
Su Zhi hesitated before finally making up her mind. She had to go! In any case, he had to get things straight.
Arriving at the general's manor once again, the guards outside had already changed. Seeing her expression, the guards stopped her.
”Who is the Madam looking for?”
Su Zhi paused, then replied, ”I'm looking for your general.”
The guards looked at each other, ”Does Madame have an invitation?”
She shook her head, ready to leave through the back door.
