Chapter 1565: Chapter 1565: Striking in the Shadows
“Second Sister, my husband and his group still don’t know that I’ve escaped. Right now, the most urgent matter is to let them know I’m safe.”
Su Yunjin subtly switched the topic. Leng Jingxian was the daughter of the current Pri Minister. If Su Yunjin truly intended to take revenge on Leng Jingxian, she did not want to involve her Second Sister.
This matter would be handled between her and Gu Ya. As for her Second Sister and the others, Su Yunjin felt it was better not to let them know. Second Sister and her husband were straightforward people without much scheming ability. If they provoked soone as mad as Leng Jingxian, it would create great trouble—especially since Leng Jingxian was the legitimate daughter of the Pri Minister.
The recent incident where Leng Jingxian had abducted her left no evidence. Even if there was evidence, the County Magistrate wouldn’t dare touch the Pri Minister’s daughter lightly.
To deal with Leng Jingxian,
a direct confrontation wouldn’t work.
It had to be done covertly.
Su Ningxiu slapped her forehead and nodded repeatedly, “You’re right, Little Sister, you’re absolutely right. Seeing that you’re safe, I got carried away with happiness and forgot about the main matter. Little Sister, when you disappeared, you should’ve seen how worried your brother-in-law was—it was terrifying! If he knows you’re safe now, he’ll definitely be overjoyed.”
Wang ng and Gu Ya had gone out to search for Su Yunjin, but Su Ningxiu had no idea where they were now. She looked at Su Yunjin with an air of uncertainty and added, “Little Sister, the problem is, I don’t know where my husband and your brother-in-law are right now. How are we going to tell them that you’re safe?”
It was a simple matter.
Su Yunjin thought for a mont and proposed,
“Second Sister, how about this? I’ll arrange for a few people to wander around the marketplace. If they spot my husband and his group, they’ll pass along the news that I’m safe.” There were already so employees from the Zuixiang Restaurant available, so Su Yunjin planned to send a few of them out to find the n. Hearing this, the Accountant offered with initiative, “Madam, how about I go to town to search for Master Gu? Perhaps I might be able to locate them.”
Su Yunjin glanced at the Accountant who had spoken when suddenly Second Sister exclaid, “Little Sister, I think I see my husband and the others coming back!” Su Ningxiu’s tone carried significant excitent.
Su Yunjin instinctively looked outside, and sure enough, she saw Wang ng leading the group at the front. Su Ningxiu began running out excitedly, declaring, “Little Sister, I’ll go tell my husband and the others that you’re safe now!” Lifting her skirt, Su Ningxiu ran joyfully toward Wang ng. Su Yunjin followed closely behind her Second Sister, stepping outside as well.
However, as Su Yunjin observed for a while, she realized she saw only Wang ng and her fifth brother, Gu Jianghai. There was no sign of Gu Ya! Strange, where had Gu Ya gone? Why hadn’t he returned?
With Wang ng and Gu Jianghai back, Gu Ya should have co back as well, shouldn’t he? A sense of doubt filled Su Yunjin’s heart. When Wang ng heard Su Ningxiu saying Su Yunjin was safe, he was thrilled and quickly asked, “Xiuxiu, is it true? Little Sister is really safe?” Su Yunjin hadn’t yet changed out of the worn, patched cotton outfit she’d gotten from the farmhouse.
Because of this, although Su Yunjin was clearly following not far behind Su Ningxiu, Wang ng didn’t recognize her at first. “Xiuxiu, where’s Little Sister? Weren’t you saying she’s safe? Why don’t I see her?”
Su Ningxiu couldn’t help but chuckle.
“You fool! Look, isn’t the person behind Little Sister?” Su Ningxiu playfully pointed to Su Yunjin, who was walking toward them. Only then did Wang ng realize belatedly that the one wearing the old and tattered cotton dress was indeed Su Yunjin.
