The past

Su Yujin, "..."

Seriousness lasts only three seconds!

After being eaten by He Yanxiu several times, Su Yujin heard Ai Cao announcing outside the door that breakfast was ready.

Su Yujin responded and asked Ai Cao to set up the meal in the flower hall. After a while, he and He Yanxiu came out to have breakfast.

Scallion wontons, mushroom dumplings, freshly made tofu curd, sweet fried fruits, and a few refreshing pickles.

With an empty stomach, He Yanxiu feasted on a pile of delicious food.

Su Yujin had long been accustomed to He Yanxiu not showing off when eating in front of others, but Su Yunruo looked at He Yanxiu in surprise.

Are all the young men in the capital so generous and informal?

do not know either……

Seeing that Su Yunruo had not finished the mountain mushroom dumpling after three bites, as if she was worried, Su Yujin smiled and asked, "What's wrong with Ruoruo?"

Su Yunruo came back to his senses and swallowed most of the Xiao Long Bao left in one gulp, "I was thinking that my father and mother will be in the capital in the next two days. I will go to the street to buy some for later.

Prepare your things early."

"Okay." Su Yujin nodded.

Although she had already ordered people to tidy up the courtyard in preparation for her uncle and aunt to move in, Su Yunruo still had to show her filial piety here.

Su Yujin continued, "I'm going to Juweizhai later. After you're done shopping, let's go to Juweizhai and have lunch together. Uncle Zheng has made a new dish, let's try it together."

"Okay." Su Yunruo agreed with a smile and continued eating steamed buns and drinking tofu.

After breakfast, the three of them went about their own business.

In the middle of the afternoon, when Mrs. He and Mr. Lu had just returned from visiting Concubine Shu in the palace, someone from the farm came to the He family to report the funeral.

Since they had already heard the whole story from Du Song and Xing'an in the morning, Mrs. He and Mr. Lu were not surprised by this.

"My daughter-in-law will arrange the funeral arrangements now," Mrs. Lu said.

"Yes." Mrs. He nodded, "Just like what Yan Xiu said, it's just a matter of simple things."

Finally, he sighed again, "To this point, Yan Xiu must be feeling very uncomfortable. In the final analysis, it was because I wasn't cautious enough and my temper wasn't tough enough, so people took advantage of me."

Seeing that Mrs. He was distressed, Ms. Lu advised, "My mother had no choice in the situation at that time. If we analyze it carefully, it is after all that my eldest brother and sister-in-law took the wrong path."

Did they go the wrong way, or did she, the old woman, go the wrong way?

Mrs. He sighed in her heart, and some old things gradually came to her mind.

He Yande's father, He Chengxuan, is He Chengye's eldest brother.

But he was not born to Mrs. He. To be precise, his surname should not have been He.

At that time, Mr. He went south to serve for two years according to the wishes of the late emperor. Mrs. He traveled with him. On the way south, he encountered water bandits.

In addition to hijacking the He family's boat, the water bandits also captured another boat traveling with them.

The family on that boat was named Yuan, and he was a merchant in the raw silk business. The reason why the couple took their infant baby south this time was to return home and worship their ancestors.

The water bandits were greedy and cruel, plundering money and beating slaves. Especially when Mrs. He and Mrs. He seemed to have a good family, they tried to kill people and silence them so that they could die without any evidence.

Mrs. He led his servants to fight against him, so the water bandits wanted to get rid of Mr. He first, so that the He family would be leaderless.

Just when a water bandit jumped out from behind and wanted to kill Mr. He, the Yuan couple who were controlled by the water bandit opened their mouths to remind him, saving Mr. He from worrying about his life.

Mrs. He got the opportunity and led the He family to resist until nearby officers and soldiers arrived and annihilated the group of water bandits together. However, the Yuan family and his wife were killed by the water bandits in the chaos because of their original warning.

, leaving only the infant in swaddling clothes.

The Yuan couple died because of Mrs. He, and all the Yuan family servants were killed. It was no longer possible to confirm whether the baby had other family members, so Mrs. He and Mrs. He decided to take the baby back and raise it.

And this baby was later He Chengxuan.

He Chengxuan has a peaceful temperament. Although he has not been very smart since he was a child, he can still be regarded as a responsible person. Mrs. He and Mr. He taught him wholeheartedly and treated him as their own.

Many years passed in the blink of an eye. He Chengxuan grew up, married a wife and had children. He Chengye also married Mr. Lu and gave birth to He Yanxiu.

Originally, the He family was supposed to be happy and contented, but He Chengxuan and his wife had more and more things on their minds, and He Yande and his wife also became more and more demanding and could not tolerate others.

At first, Mrs. He thought it was because the brothers were getting older and starting their own families, so it was hard to guarantee that they had different plans. It was normal to be a little competitive and it was enough to teach them a thing or two.

But gradually, things exceeded everyone's expectations.

He Chengxuan set his sights on He Yanxiu, and even wanted to take action against He Chengye. He even made his move in front of the emperor.

It was at that time that Mrs. He discovered something even more remarkable.

He Chengxuan's biological parents did not pass away.

The water bandits that day were nothing more than a ruse. He Chengxuan was originally a cancer that some people deliberately planted in the He family, preparing to use it in the future.

After being deceived by one thing for decades, and even leading a wolf into the house, Mrs. He felt filled with regret, so she ended everything in a heavy rain.

But after all, He Chengxuan was the "son" she had raised for decades, and Mrs. He had watched He Yande's birth and raised him for several years when he was young. Mrs. He did not have the heart to dispose of He Yande together.

Moreover, all the people involved in this incident had been eliminated at that time, and no one knew about it anymore, so it was assumed that this incident had not happened, and He Yande was allowed to continue to enjoy the treatment of the descendants of the He family.

but now……

Sure enough, some things will come when they are supposed to come, and there is no way to avoid them.

She personally solved He Chengxuan, and He Yande also came to an end with He Yanxiu.

Mrs. He closed her eyes and sighed after a long time, "I'm a little tired, so I'm going to rest first."

"Yes, mother, please rest."

Mrs. Lu helped Mrs. He to the bedside, helped her lie down with her own hands, told the maids to take good care of her, and then hurried to the warehouse.

The ship of An Minbo and Mrs. An Minbo would arrive in a few days, so she had to hurry up.

——

July is on fire.

The sultry weather, the noisy chirping of cicadas, and the unbearable heat are everywhere.

But at this time, the capital city was full of excitement.

Teahouses and restaurants are full of guests, gathering in twos and threes and talking endlessly.
