Chapter 241 Since You Are So Concerned...

"When exactly?" Su Luo asked.

Nanny Bao thought for a while, and then her expression became a little complicated. "It was about half a year before the Su family came to propose marriage."

Su Luo didn't speak for a while.

It's a coincidence that it has something to do with the Su family again.And it still has something to do with the marriage between Xie Shi and Su Shou.

"So, the Xie family accepted such a marriage so happily, and told my mother to come to the Su family to achieve their goal. Maybe it has something to do with the blow that the Xie family suffered?"

Seeing Mammy Bao's expression, she must have thought of it too.

"It's hard to say. But if the girl's news is true, then the Xie family's family business has only been damaged twice in the past few generations. One was before the wife's engagement, and the other was after the wife passed away. It's really a coincidence. "

Madam Bao's voice became slower and slower.An indescribable tacit understanding spread in the air.

The Xie family has been an official in the court for several generations, but they lived far away in Huizhou but never left the court. The information provided by Madam Bao aggravated Su Wei's suspicion that the Xie family had suffered a series of changes.

Now what she thinks is, does Su Shou know this?

...Wu Chun came to Su Shou's study around Xu time.

Hearing his footsteps, Su Shou put down the book in his hand.

"master."

"Where did you go? Why is it so late?"

Wu Chun nodded: "I just came back from Yanyu Hutong. I'm afraid that something will happen to Ghost Hand, so I just go there to watch if I have nothing to do."

"Is nothing wrong?" Su Shou picked up the tea.

"It's still calm. It's just... I always feel a little too calm."

Su Shou glanced at him. "How do you say that?"

"Except for that night, the ghost-masked man went out once, and then they never asked to go out again. The shopkeeper lady arranged for people to deliver the food on time, and the bowls they brought out were indeed empty. There must be people inside." Yes. It’s just worrying, can they really come up with something on the third day?”

Su Shou closed the opened lid again.After pondering for a while, he said: "As long as there are people around, don't worry about anything else." Then he asked: "How about the Xie family?"

Hearing this, Wu Chun quickly took out a letter from his bosom. "I have received the news a few days ago, but because it is very general, and it is very different from the news we have received in the past, I am not sure whether it is true or not. It is still under investigation these days, so I have not reported it to the master. .”

When Su Shou heard this, a suspicious look appeared between his brows.After receiving the letter and reading it, he raised his head immediately. "With all these changes, the people in Huizhou who were in charge of delivering the news didn't know about it?"

Wu Chun shook his head. "In the past few days, I have been looking for Huizhou merchants inside and outside the capital, and I have verified the news from the side, and it has almost been confirmed to be true.

"But it is said that Xie's shop became more and more closed, and it has only been reported in the past half a year. The matter of the second uncle and the third uncle, because it did not happen in Huizhou, no one knew about it. It was also because the family business was hurt that people gradually uncovered the inside story."

Holding the letter in his hands, Su Shou got up and started pacing.Finally, he stood still under the lamp and looked back at Wu Chun: "What the hell is Xie Yun doing?"

Wu Chun stepped forward: "Looking at this posture, could it be that they are engaged in some black and white business?"

Su Shou looked out the window into the dark night. "This is not the first time that Xie's family business has suffered damage."

Wu Chun nodded deeply: "The young one still clearly remembers how happy the old man was when he learned that the Xie family finally agreed to the marriage proposal proposed by the old man. Even if there is a lawsuit, the master will not be suspicious, so he will send the younger one to secretly investigate the reason why Xie's family agreed to this marriage. It will not be later..."

Su Shou's left hand resting on the back of the chair had blue veins.

Someone in the courtyard next door pushed the door, and the harsh creaking sound created a crack in the peaceful night.

Su Shou looked back in the gap between the cracks. "Where are the other incumbents in the Xie family?"

"I haven't heard of any influence on the three incumbents in the five side branches."

"It seems that my uncle still has some skills to turn the tide."

Wu Chun breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the ground: "The Xie family can be regarded as a deadly tiger now, the family business has shrunk, and the order has never been disrupted."

"If he puts his mind on the right way and doesn't think about things he shouldn't think about, why is it that he can only swallow his teeth when he knocks out his teeth?"

Su Shou took a deep breath here, clenched his teeth, walked back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back, stopped and said, "The Xie family still has some servants who stayed in the Su family? You have already negotiated with the Xie family to get them The reason for sending it back is to go to Huizhou to inquire and find out what's going on!"

Wu Chundao: "That side of Yanyu Hutong..."

"Let the second child go, you don't have to worry about it!"

Wu Chun immediately bowed down and took the order to leave.

He paused as he walked out the door.Su Yan standing outside the door clasped his hands and nodded at him, then stepped into the room.

Standing with his back to the door and hands behind his back, Su Shou thought Wu Chun was back, turned around and opened his mouth, and closed his mouth after seeing the person clearly.

"It turns out that elder brother still can't let go of Xie's family."

Su Yan sat down on the chair by the window.

Su Shou made a serious face: "What are you talking about? My sister's mother died, and my relationship with Xie's family has also been broken. What can I not let go of?"

"Then why did you rush Wu Chun to Xie's house in such a hurry when you heard the news? You also said that you would send the servants of Xie's family back. When they arrive at Su's house, they are members of Su's family. Why do you send them back?"

Su Shou squinted: "Don't you know that a few days ago, Madam Bao smashed sister's mother's belongings, and she was reprimanded by sister? Even this little thing can't be done well, the Su family doesn't want to raise such a child." idler."

"Then you should at least ask Sister Yao what she means. They belong to sister-in-law, and since sister-in-law is gone, they belong to sister-in-law."

Su Shou frowned impatiently. "You stand outside and listen to the corner for a long time just to talk nonsense with me here?"

Su Yan snorted softly: "I don't think you really want to sever ties with the Xie family at all."

"Go out if you have nothing else to do." Su Shou walked to the door, as if to drive him out.

Su Yan didn't move at all: "You still care about Xie's family, which means that you are not really so unfeeling to Sister Nuo's mother, so why did you treat her so in the first place?"

Su Shou has given up on talking to him.Withdrawing his hand from the door, he lifted his foot and walked out the door.

Su Yan chased her out: "If you don't tell me, I'll tell my sister how much you missed her mother before you got married, and the changes you've made to her come from after you got married. I have feelings for her." Confidence, if I can't ask, she must have a way to ask!"

Su Shou, who was walking in front, stopped suddenly, and after turning around abruptly, he stretched out a palm and turned his face in one direction! ...
