Chapter 467 - 467 Help 2
467 Help 2
No matter how bad she and Madam Qin were, Sun Yangxin was truly sincere towards the missing Yan Mian.
Even if Yan Mian became Madam Zhao, she could not erase this fact.
Sun Yangxin and Yan Mian were engaged before. Sun Yangxin did not give up on looking for her for the past 20 years just like the Qi family. This was the truth.
After Zhou Wenjing left, Su Sanlang asked Madam Zhao gently, “Darling, if you don’t want to interfere, let’s ignore her. We don’t have to feel any guilt because of this.”
Madam Zhao was in a low mood. She shook her head and said, “Sanlang, I don’t know what to do. I don’t think I’ve handled the past well. I don’t know how to deal with them anymore.”
“I shouldn’t be hurt by this, but I—”
Madam Zhao could not say those shameless words. She lowered her head in shame.
Ever since she admitted Yan Mian’s identity, she knew that she couldn’t get rid of the past. She couldn’t forget it and let it go.
“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Su Sanlang’s heart ached too. What kind of past was that?
“Darling, don’t make things difficult for yourself. You didn’t do anything wrong, so no matter what the outcome is, I won’t blame you.”
Su Sanlang swallowed and said. He gently hugged Madam Zhao, hoping to comfort her.
There was already some white hair on Madam Zhao’s temples. Su Sanlang recalled that when he saw Madam Zhao back then, she had been bought.
The human trafficker had said that her surname was Zhao. As for her name, their family could just buy her and rename her.
Madam Wang and Old Master Su were not involved. He did not give Madam Zhao a name.
Before he had a child, he and Madam Zhao called each other ‘you’. After having a child, the two of them had a foundation in their relationship. Naturally, they called each other ‘Sanlang’ and ‘Darling’. After so many years, they were used to it.
During the time they had been in the capital, too many things had happened. He knew that Madam Zhao was very tired, and he wanted her to relax.
“Thank you.”
Madam Zhao hugged Su Sanlang’s waist tightly and buried her face in his chest.
Su Xiaolu and Su Xiaoling looked at each other. Su Xiaoling whispered, “Xiaolu, let’s leave first.”
It was not a good time to disturb their parents.
The two sisters quietly retreated.
When Zhou Wenjing came to the residence, they naturally received the news. When the two of them arrived, they heard Zhou Wenjing’s words. The two sisters didn’t enter. After Zhou Wenjing left, they wanted to enter the room, but after hearing Su Sanlang’s words, they still didn’t enter.
Now that Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao were hugging, they also felt that they should not disturb them.
After returning to their room.
Su Xiaoling looked worried. “Xiaolu, what do you think Mother will do?”
Zhou Wenjing told Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao what they were hiding.
This matter made Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao feel very sad. This feeling was the kind of discomfort that they did not know how to resolve because Madam Zhao had lost her memory.
Su Xiaolu was also worried. She sighed. “I don’t know.”
“Xiaolu, if Mother wants to regain her memories, you…”
Su Xiaoling wanted to say to Su Xiaolu, “Can you not help Mother recover her memories?” However, she could not bring herself to say it.
Su Xiaolu smiled helplessly and said, “Sis, let’s talk about it in the future.”
The two sisters had mixed feelings and similarly had many thoughts.
At night, Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao went out without saying where they were going.
Su Chong and Su Hua came back for dinner that night. Their parents were not at the dining table. Seeing that Su Xiaolu and Su Xiaoling were both troubled, Su Chong asked, “Where did Father and Mother go?”
Su Hua asked directly, “What happened today?”
Su Xiaoling said helplessly, “Eldest Brother, Second Brother, the wife of the Sun family secretly ran out of the house today and said something to Father and Mother.”
Su Xiaoling told Su Chong and Su Hua what had happened.
Su Chong and Su Hua fell silent.
Su Hua pondered for a moment and said, “Actually, Mother doesn’t have to be so troubled over this.”
Su Xiaoling and Su Xiaolu looked at Su Hua.
Su Chong was also a little puzzled. “What do you mean?”
Su Hua explained, “The Sun family is considered an elder in the imperial court. Lord Sun Yangxin, was once the old Minister of Revenue. After his death, the emperor promoted the outstanding Sun Yangxin to be the new Minister of Revenue. After so many years, the Sun family has made great contributions. Although this matter is bad, Xiaoling is safe and sound. The emperor’s punishment is just for show.”
“Brother Heng is smart. He will make good use of this matter. If I’m not wrong, Sun Yangxin will be demoted by two to three levels as a punishment for his mother. He will be arranged to leave the capital and will be grateful to Brother Heng.”
Su Hua voiced his guess. Sun Yangxin was a filial son. Naturally, he had to suffer some hardships to protect Madam Qin.
There were some things that were loud but small. It was just that the person involved did not know.
“Xiaoling, there might be many more such things in the future. Are you really ready? If you change your mind, it’s not too late now.”
Su Hua looked at Su Xiaoling and said seriously.
If Zhou Heng wanted to become an emperor, there had to be trade-offs. These were all things that he had no choice in.
Su Xiaoling smiled. “Second Brother, my feelings won’t change.”
Su Hua smiled and didn’t say anything else. Love was something that couldn’t be explained clearly.
“When Mother comes back, I’ll tell Father and Mother.”
Su Hua said gently that when Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao returned, he would tell them the pros and cons. This way, Madam Zhao would not have to feel uncomfortable because of this.
The siblings ate in silence.
During this period of time, Su Hua was also very busy. Zhou Heng had something on and he was the one helping. It was not convenient for Zhou Heng to appear, so he let him do it.
All the officials in the imperial court knew that he and the current Crown Prince had been together for many years. They lived together and were classmates. Their relationship was as deep as that of biological brothers. If Zhou Heng could not appear, he could represent Zhou Heng.
Su Chong followed Qi Xingfeng to the drill ground to train every day.
The siblings had their own things to do.

When Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao arrived at the General’s residence, General Qi was very happy.
After discussing some details with Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao, General Qi asked Qi Xingfeng and Qi Xingzhi to leave before asking, “Mianmian, you have a lot on your mind. Tell Grandpa. What’s troubling you?”
Madam Zhao pursed her lips and looked at General Qi and Father Qi. Then, she asked, “Grandpa, Cousin, do you still remember my engagement to Sun Yangxin back then? What kind of person is he?”
After Madam Zhao asked, she could not help but feel nervous.
General Qi sighed.
Father Qi also sighed.
General Qi said, “I arranged your marriage for you back then. The former Minister of Rites, who was also Sun Yangxin’s father, was a good person. Our two families had already arranged a marriage for you when you were 14 years old.”
