The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 190 The arm can't twist the thigh

Ever since Mrs. Zhang came to Fucheng to live in another courtyard, Su Yunduo was held by Mrs. Zhang's hand almost every day and listened to the past stories between Mrs. Lu and Su Ling'an, feeling very sad.

"You, you look more like your grandfather than your big aunt." Mrs. Zhang squinted her eyes and looked Su Yunduo up and down, and finally nodded vigorously. Obviously, Su Yunduo's appearance made her quite satisfied. , which made Su Yunduo a little dumbfounded.

Although it has been confirmed from all aspects that Su Chengzhi is indeed Su Ling'an's son, will the Su family admit it?

From the old lady Zhang's words, Su Yunduo could guess that the water in the Su family in the capital was not as deep as usual, and from the fact that they forced the old lady Lu to adopt him more and more recklessly, she knew that they should wish that Su Chengzhi was long gone.

Sure enough, Mrs. Zhang's next words fully confirmed this point: "The emperor pays off, God finally opened his eyes and let Mr. Kang meet Mr. Cheng by chance. This is a plan that God does not agree with those old stubborn Su family.

It is obvious that Mrs. Su has successors, but those old and stubborn people are unwilling to search for them all these years. They would rather let Miss Su's only incense go out, but they always want to let the girl inherit from the clan, and want to occupy the property of the uncle's house and the girl's dowry. , Hmph, what a beautiful idea! "

At the end, the crutch in Mrs. Zhang's hand hit the ground heavily, as if the ground was the stubborn old Su family.

It can be seen that the Su family does not welcome or even reject the existence of Su Chengzhi. It is not known whether such people are a minority or a majority in the Su family. If there are a few people, there is nothing to be afraid of. After all, there is a town government mansion behind Mrs. Lu.

Su Yunduo has worked so hard to train cooks and sergeants for Lu Jinkang recently because he wants to hold on to the thigh of the Duke of Zhen.

When it's time to fight against the few members of the Su family, the banner of the Zhen Guogong Mansion should be very useful.

But if there are a few people who recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, they have to weigh it again.

The Government of Zhen Guo has the ability to support the old lady Lu, but if the Su family gathers the strength of the whole family to fight against it, no matter how powerful the Duke of Zhen Guo is, even the Holy One with the pinnacle of power may not be able to do anything.

The power of this worldly family is too great, not to mention that the Su family is not a mediocre family, it is a century-old family!
Su Yunduo knew that he could not dispel Su Chengzhi's belief in recognizing his ancestors and returning to his clan, but he firmly believed that he could do something about the time of recognizing his ancestors and returning to his clan.

This was also one of the important reasons why Su Yunduo hoped that Su Chengzhi could pass the Juren examination, or even the Jinshi examination.

After Mrs. Zhang saw Su Chengzhi from a distance, Su Yunduo tried a way to take out Su Chengzhi's jade pendant for Mrs. Zhang to have a look at.

Although there was already a jade pendant drawn by Lu Jinkang and sent back, the old lady Zhang was so excited that she burst into tears when she saw the real thing.

"That's it. Look, there's a small gap here. I accidentally touched it that year." Mrs. Zhang pointed to a small gap that no one else would notice, and she couldn't be more excited.

Not to mention Lu Jinkang, even Su Yunduo didn't notice this gap, probably only Mrs. Zhang, the person involved, would know it clearly. Maybe this is the reason why Mrs. Zhang had to come to visit in person at such an advanced age.

But soon Su Yunduo knew the real reason why Mrs. Zhang had to make this trip.

On the evening of the second day when Mrs. Zhang arrived in Fucheng, and the evening she saw Su Chengzhi from afar, the housekeeper asked Zisu to send a message to Su Yunduo, saying that Lu Jinkang had invited her to the study of another courtyard to meet her on important matters. As a merchant, it is best to avoid Su Chengzhi.

Su Yunduo was a little dazed when he heard the message, why should he avoid Su Chengzhi?
Could it be that there is any new news in the capital, and it has a lot to do with Su Chengzhi's recognition of his ancestors!

Su Yunduo went to the study while thinking, avoiding Su Chengzhi was not difficult for her.

When Su Yunduo arrived at the study, Jiu'er was guarding the door. Seeing Su Yunduo coming, she knocked on the study door and announced. After getting Lu Jinkang's permission, she invited Su Yunduo in.

In the study, apart from Lu Jinkang, there was also an old lady Zhang and the housekeeper who were wiping away tears from Lu Jinkang.

Su Yunduo glanced at the two with a little surprise, and sat down on the chair calmly following Lu Jinkang's gesture.

"Miss Su, I'm afraid things won't go according to your previous plan." After Su Yunduo sat down and the housekeeper brought hot tea, Lu Jinkang said straight to the point.

Although Lu Jinkang didn't directly explain what it was, Su Yunduo understood it very well in his heart, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, obviously there were new changes in the capital.

Before, Lu Jinkang and Su Yunduo had an exchange on the matter of acknowledging their relatives. Although Lu Jinkang did not nod clearly, he did not object to Su Yunduo's proposal to wait for Su Chengzhi to go to the capital to participate in the examination before mentioning the matter of acknowledging relatives. Change in the blink of an eye?
"You should have heard that my great-aunt suffered from a serious illness after the death of my great-aunt, and it recurred almost every year after that, especially this year, otherwise it would be her who came here this time.

Since there is no doubt about your father's background, I suggest that you invite your father to Beijing directly after he is out of the list in the provincial examination. "Lu Jinkang cleared Su Yunduo's doubts with a light cough.

Su Yunduo is not so easy to fool, maybe the old lady Lu has relapsed, but this should not be the main reason for Su Chengzhi to go to Beijing to recognize relatives in advance, there must be other reasons that require Su Chengzhi to go to Beijing in advance, such as The issue of adoption that Mrs. Zhang mentioned.

Being stared at by Su Yunduo's bright and talking eyes, Lu Jinkang seemed a little uncomfortable, glanced at the old lady Zhang, and finally went on to say the second reason why Su Chengzhi must be invited to Beijing in advance: "Every day in Beijing Another news came that the Su Clan saw that the aunt's health was not getting better, and more and more people went to persuade the aunt to adopt as soon as possible.

Some of these people were genuinely worried for their aunt, worried that the second wife from the Su family would be broken in the hands of their aunt, and most of them had ulterior motives.

In the past, my aunt could still get help from the long house to block many lobbyists for her. This year, the long house seemed to be persuaded by the clan. The old lady in the long house went to persuade the aunt many times.

This person coming and going makes my aunt miserable, how can she rest in peace and recuperate, now her body is getting weaker and weaker?
If your father doesn't show up again, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my aunt and grandma to have a peaceful life.

I know your concerns, but you should also be sympathetic to the situation of the elderly. "

Well, after all, it turned out that she was not understanding, and it was all her fault!
Lu Jinkang's words successfully focused Old Madam Zhang's attention on Su Yunduo.

Although the old lady didn't speak, the firepower of expectation and pleading in her eyes was so fierce that Su Momo couldn't look directly at it.

Su Yunduo curled her lips secretly, thinking about the situation of that old lady in the capital, no matter how watery Lu Jinkang's words were, she was still a bit uncomfortable, and it was hard to say a rebuttal.

Alas, the small arm can't twist the thigh after all!
Seeing that Su Yunduo no longer objected, Lu Jinkang couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and the next step was to see how to persuade Su Chengzhi.
