Learning to Love Again

Turning her head back, Su Lian sees an old woman rushing towards the gate.

"Young miss. It really is you." The woman began tearing up at the sight of her.

"Nanny Lai?"

She pushes the guards away and runs to grab a hold of Su Lian's hands.

"Young miss, you've returned. This old maid knew that nothing happened to you and you would surely return."

While trembling, she proceeds to pull Su Lian inside with her but the guards block their path.

"Old hag, you better not outstep your bounds. What is your business at the gate?"

Nanny Lai glared at the guards.

"You dare try to obstruct the young miss's path. Have you forgotten who your master is? Or do you want to act like you don't recognize the legitimate daughter of the Su family?"

Hearing her words, the guards lowered their heads. Nanny Lai has already called out her identity so they could no longer pretend to be ignorant of who she is. They could not go too far.

After all, the order to prevent Su Lian and Su Qiong from entering the house came from Qin Rong and not Su Feng.

Even though Qin Rong has been living in here and running things for the past several years, their master has still not married her.

She tells them to call her madam and they agree but that does not take away from the fact that she is still just a live-in mistress. She isn't the official madam and could be kicked out any day.

After weighing the pros and cons of the matter, the guards stepped aside and allowed them to pass through. When it came down to it, the real authority was in Su Feng's hands.

Nanny Lai harrumphed coldly and dragged Su Lian along with her like a stuffed doll. She was still shaking with excitement.

Su Lian couldn't help but feel warm while being pulled around by this woman who treated her like a granddaughter.

Nanny Lai had served as a housekeeper while raising her father and his two brothers. She followed him here when he got married and has served in their house ever since. That's probably the reason why Qin Rong is unable to get rid of her.

"I'm very happy that you've returned. No matter what happens, this place will always be your home."

Su Lian smiles coldly without giving a reply.

'Home?'

This place was far from that. She only came here to get her mother's things and see the people spreading rumors about her.

Nanny Lai notices her reaction and decides to change the subject.

"What have you been doing these four years? Why did you leave so suddenly?"

"I got tired of the environment so I went to America and worked for a while. I just came back "

"That's good, that's good. You should quickly move in and convince your brother to move back in too. This place is just an empty shell without its young miss and young master."
