Chapter 42: Aunt Tian's Relics

The next Hundred Flowers Banquet was nothing more than reciting poems, painting and looking at the scenery. Su Qing was not familiar with them, so few people came to chat with her.

Bailiyu and Shangguanyan came for a while and then left.

Su Qing finally waited until the banquet was over, and asked Lian'er to tell the coachman that he was ready to go back.

After coming to the capital, Su Qing added a maid, Mrs. Xiao Si, to the family, all of whom were slaves under a death contract.

"Miss Su, wait a minute. The music you just played is very nice. I like it very much. Can I come and play with you in the future?"

A woman with a pretty face, about 1.6 meters tall, and a lively temperament stopped Su Qing.

"Who are you?"

Su Qing didn't know the woman in front of her, and Lian'er never mentioned it to her.

"My name is Zhang Ya, the daughter of the Minister of Rites."

Liu Yao was there just now, so it was not easy for her to come up and talk to him.

Pingnan Prince's Mansion and Shangshu Mansion did not deal with it. She was afraid that Liu Yao would know about their relationship and thereby implicate Su Qing.

"You are always welcome to play."

Someone wants to make friends with Su Qing, how could Su Qing refuse?

"I'm going back today, and I'll come and play with you another day."

Zhang Ya was happy to have Su Qing's permission.

Su Qing is very good-looking, and the song "Goose Falling on the Sand" she just played was very nice, even better than Liu Yao's.

After Su Qing finished playing, Liu Yao's face looked like a color palette, sometimes green and sometimes dark, not to mention how wonderful it was.

Moreover, she really liked the way Su Qing was quarreling with Liu Ling'er just now. She felt so comfortable watching it.

Liu Ling'er relied on the Pingnan Prince's Mansion behind her and often opposed her.

She has a stupid mouth, so she always says she can't win against Liu Ling'er. Even if King Pingnan knew what Liu Ling'er had done, he would acquiesce and would not say anything at all.

Su Qing herself knew that she had made the two sisters of the Liu family very angry today, and the two sisters would definitely not let it go.

After Su Qing said goodbye to Zhang Ya, she went back home.

This Hundred Flowers Banquet is really boring. I don’t want to attend similar banquets in the future, but it’s okay not to participate.

She was really annoyed to death, and Su Qing scratched the back of her head in a frenzy.

But today's banquet was not without gain. She at least knew that Shangguan Yan and Liu Yao were childhood sweethearts.

Today she saw Shangguan Yan looking at Liu Yao with admiration in his eyes. It was obvious that he liked Liu Yao.

But Liu Yao's eyes were clear, and Su Qing couldn't tell whether she had feelings for Shangguan Yan.

But if Liu Yao wants to harm her, she will not be merciful.

When Su Qing arrived at Su Mansion, she went to find Aunt Jinhua. She had a lot of things on her hands recently and had little time to spend with Aunt Jinhua.

So every time she came back from outside, the first person she met was Aunt Jinhua.

Now that her aunt is forty, she wants to spend more time with her to avoid regrets in the future.

"Come on, girl, this is something your mother left for you, you have to put it away."

Aunt Jinhua called Su Qing into the room and took out a wooden box for her.

This box was originally going to be given to her on the day Su Qing got married, but now that her health was getting worse and worse, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold on until then.

The wooden box is very ordinary, without any patterns on it. Because of the time, there are already cracks on the box.

Su Qing opened the box and found an agate and jade bracelet inside, as well as two letters.

One is written to Su Qing, and the other is written to Su Changyun.

Su Qing opened the letter that belonged to her. Su Qing felt mixed emotions in her heart after reading it.

The letter explained that Aunt Tian knew that she was not Tian Li's biological child, and also knew that the old widower wanted to kill her, so she was willing to die in order for her child to survive.

The bracelet in the box was stolen by her while the old widower was not paying attention. This bracelet is her only connection with relatives she has never met.

The bracelet was the only thing that could prove her identity, but she knew that there was no way she could save her body.

So he gave the bracelet to Su Qing and asked her to take her two younger brothers to find their true relatives, so that the three siblings could have someone to rely on.

The letter also stated that if Su Changyun comes back, another letter will be given to him.

Su Qing sighed. Su Changyun joined the army when the original owner was five years old. Nine years have passed now.

The war between the Ming Kingdom and the Donglan Kingdom has also been in a stalemate for nine years. She doesn't know if Su Changyun is still alive.

Su Qing returned to the room with a heavy heart.

In the blink of an eye, it has been four years since she came into this world, and Wen Sheng and Wen Hai are already nine years old.

She became the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, and Wen Sheng and Wen Hai also performed very well in the academy.

If Mrs. Tian knows that the Su family has established a firm foothold in the capital, she should feel at ease.

"Miss, the lady is not good. Madam has fainted. Please go and have a look."

Lian'er rushed in and threw a heavy blow to Su Qing.

When Su Qing heard that Aunt Jinhua had fainted, she was extremely anxious and immediately ran towards her room.

"Spread out quickly and open the windows a little to let the air circulate."

As soon as Su Qing entered the house, she saw a large number of women and maids surrounding the house, and she immediately asked them to disperse.

They would only block the flow of air and make Aunt Jinhua's condition worse.

Su Qing looked at Aunt Jinhua with her eyes closed and her face pale on the bed, feeling uncomfortable.

But she can't panic now. She is the backbone of this family. If she panics, the people under her will panic even more.

Su Qing checked Aunt Jinhua's pulse before putting her hanging heart back into her stomach.

Aunt Jinhua gave birth to a child when she was young. She was injured and failed to recover properly, so she suffered from cold syndrome. In addition, she was overworked from taking care of the house recently, so she fainted.

As long as Aunt Jinhua doesn't get irritated, keeps her mood calm, and takes good care of her for four to five years, she won't be in this situation today.

However, Aunt Jinhua's cold syndrome is a bit tricky. If she wants to completely cure it, she will need some particularly precious medicinal materials.

That medicine is called fire lotus, and it grows in a hot place. No one has seen fire lotus in the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years. There is little hope of finding fire lotus.

She asked the kitchen to make some porridge and prepared to feed it to Aunt Jinhua when she woke up.
