Phi-Fic Chapter 183 Mother, Nice to Meet You
Chapter 183 Mother, Nice to Meet You
Gui Mingzhu looked at the kind-looking old lady in front of her and felt a slight pang of sadness in her nose.
In fact, she is no longer afraid of any harsh treatment.
After all, I'm used to it.
But now, someone grabbed her hand and said that she was destined to be the jewel in the crown of the Su family. And this was the most powerful old lady in the Su family. Even Nanny Gui would unconsciously lower her voice when mentioning Old Madam Su, as if she was afraid of blaspheming her.
But now the old lady, who has a very close relationship with the Queen Mother, said such heartwarming words to Gui Mingzhu.
"Are you still in a daze? Call me grandma." Old Madam Su forced a kind smile from her originally solemn face.
Gui Mingzhu couldn't help but grab Madam Su's hand, her eyes red: "Grandma."
"Be good, you will be Su Mingzhu from now on." Old Madam Su placed the Buddhist beads she had been coiling on Mingzhu's wrist. "These are the beads that my grandmother has worshipped for many years. Master Kongwu blessed them. May Mingzhu turn bad luck into good fortune."
Mingzhu's voice choked, and she looked at Madam Su with tears in her eyes. The mist in her eyes finally condensed and fell: "Grandma!"
She threw herself directly into Madam Su's arms.
Old Madam Su touched Mingzhu's head, as if she was her granddaughter whom she had loved for many years.
Su Jixue glanced at Twelve and exchanged a meaningful look with her. This grandmother of the Su family was truly amazing.
"Hmph!" Shen, whose face had turned pale with fright at Gui Mingzhu's actions, snorted coldly and finally shut her mouth when she wanted to say something.
Su Jian's expression finally relaxed.
She is worthy of being a mother. If my mother hadn’t been there for what happened today, who knows what kind of trouble would have happened.
"Master, people from Prince Zhan's Mansion are coming, coming, coming..."
Suddenly, a servant came running over, panting, as if he had seen something extraordinary.
Su Jixue raised her eyebrows. Could it be that Jun Wuzui heard about what happened outside the city and came to visit?
You are innocent...
Su Jixue never dared to think deeply about the fact that he was the eleventh one, but now the word "King of War" from the servant forced her to go.
Su Jixue couldn't help but adjust her posture and tucked the loose hair on her cheeks behind her ears.
"Why are you so panicked!" Su Jian's face darkened, and he felt that this was a very turbulent time.
"Zhan, General Bai from Prince Zhan's Mansion has brought people to deliver the betrothal gifts. It looks like there are as many people as a whole street here." The servant said as he held up the gift list from Prince Zhan's Mansion. The thick gift list looked very valuable.
Su Jian took it and gave it to Old Madam Su: "Mother, please take a look."
Madam Su was quite skilled at cultivating her Qi, but she was still amazed by the items on the gift list. She handed it directly to Su Jixue, "Jixue, Prince Zhan really values you. Take a look at this betrothal gift list."
Su Jixue didn't expect that Bai Shiwu would come back. It was obvious that he had just returned, but he came without stopping to deliver the betrothal gifts.
You are innocent...
Su Jixue's heart softened. If her trust in the King of War had increased little by little before, then she was convinced that he was really trustworthy and that she could marry him. It was also a journey of her heart.
But after knowing that he was only eleven years old, and seeing that all the treasures in Prince Zhan's Mansion seemed to have been emptied out by Jun Wuzui as a betrothal gift, the surging emotions in her heart could no longer be suppressed, and a sweet tenderness appeared in her eyes.
Normally, more than one hundred loads of betrothal gifts are considered expensive, but the War King prepared a full two hundred and eight loads of betrothal gifts, and they were all real.
Everything Su Jixue casually glanced at was worth a fortune.
Su Jian saw the curious expressions on his mother and Su Jixue's faces and said, "Jixue, let me see the gift list."
Su Jixue raised her eyes and handed the thick gift list in her hand to Su Jian, feeling a little reluctant.
Thinking about how all these benefited Su Jian, he couldn't laugh.
"Where are the people?!" Su Jian's eyebrows danced with joy when he saw the list. He looked at the servant excitedly and asked, "This is good news, why are you so flustered?"
"People were stopped outside the door by the Jinwu Guards, saying that our Su family was also sealed off!" The servant whispered. This was the reason for his panic.
"What?!" Shen, who was standing by, was horrified. She looked at the servant and said, "Are you sure it was the Jinwu Guards who gave the title?"
The Zhuang family was surrounded by the Jinwu Guards, but they only went out once because Mr. Zhuang was highly respected and said he wanted to go to the palace to meet the emperor.
But he was not allowed to see the emperor after kneeling down to beg him, and was finally carried back to the banker.
Now, the Su family has also been sealed off.
"The Jinwu Guards arrived first, and General Bai arrived later. They almost came to blows, and only then did I realize they were from the Jinwu Guards." The servant wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "But the Jinwu Guards didn't arrive until after Second Master Mo left."
"Su Mo!" Su Jian couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"I told you Su Mo is not a good guy!" Shen also gritted her teeth. She glared at Su Jixue and said, "You still call him uncle? Does he deserve it?"
Su Jixue's attention was still on the thick list of gifts, and she smiled inwardly. Well, the list of betrothal gifts can be shown to the Su family, but it can't be really delivered.
Otherwise, she would change her last name now.
"Su Jixue! Can't you hear me talking to you?" Seeing Su Jixue's absent-minded look, Shen Shi couldn't help but get even angrier, and habitually wanted to pull Su Jixue's ears.
"Shen!" Madam Su's face darkened. She still hadn't understood the current situation??!
You must know that the current situation of the Su family is unclear, just like the banker. The only one who can help the Su family now is the King of War.
But Shen was stupid and had no idea how to win Su Jixue's heart.
Shen shut up angrily and glared at Su Jixue, as if Su Jixue was her mortal enemy. If it weren't for Su Jixue, she would never have recognized the wrong daughter.
I will never let my daughter really become a country girl!
hateful!
Now everyone is still blaming her. Su Mingyue, whom Shen loved so much, ended up blaming her. Even her own daughter was not on the same page with her.
Shen glared at Su Jixue and Su Mingzhu angrily. What daughters? They were just here to collect debts!
Su Jixue heard the argument between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and then reluctantly withdrew her gaze from the stack of gift lists. She said lightly, "The Gui family harbored spies from Nanqing to Dongchu. If Jixue hadn't called you uncle, I'm afraid the Su family wouldn't even have had a chance to react."
"After all, this matter can be brought directly to the front of the palace!"
"Jixue, tell your father what news you know quickly." Su Jian asked immediately after hearing Su Jixue say this.
"Grandmother, father, mother." Su Jixue's eyes swept over the Su family one by one, and she began to talk nonsense seriously: "The night Jixue was injured, the Regent of Nanqing was hiding in Dongchu. After he was discovered, the city was sealed off."
"Prince Regent of Nanqing?!" Shen exclaimed.
Su Jian glanced at Shen coldly.
Su Jixue's eyes fell on Madam Su's face, analyzing her expression. Now, she was 70% sure that Madam Su was Ji Xue's mother.
Mother... nice to meet you!
