After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 354 Su Tai Enters the Capital

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi couldn't sit still any longer. "I'll go with you next time."

"Oh? Brother-in-law, there's a lot going on at the end of the year. You're the town official of Dahe Town now, it's not good to be away for too long!" Su Zhan quickly advised.

Shen Yi gritted his teeth, his brows furrowed, as if he was trying to find a balance.

Su Tai patted the back of his hand, "Don't worry about it. A-Zhan is right. Things are busy at the end of the year, and you can't be left alone at home or outside. It's really not good for you to go far away, but I can. I'll go in your place this time and check on Tian Tian's condition while I'm at it. After all, she was injured in our house, and I have to give Aunt Xinghua an explanation."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xinghua's eyes lit up, and she mustered her courage to ask, "Xiaotai, can I...can I go with you?"

She wouldn't have dared to ask if Su Tai hadn't said so, but since Su Tai was going, she could just go along with her.

Shen Yi was still worried. "It's freezing cold and so far away. The journey will be very tiring!"

"Don't worry! I'll modify our carriage a bit, travel light, and maybe even be faster than my cousins." Su Tai was full of confidence.

These words made Su Chuan and the others burst into laughter.

"Just don't hold us back! We merchants often go months without showering, how can you manage?"

"Why don't you try and see?" Su Tai raised her eyebrows, her expression calm.

Since she had said so, Shen Yi agreed.

Huang Xinghua immediately went back to discuss it with her family.

Shen Mu and Granny Chen were also worried about Shen Tian. Fortunately, it was the dead of winter and there was nothing much to do. Wei Erya was in charge of the household, and Huang Xinghua was going out with her eldest son, so they didn't have to worry.

After the matter was settled, Su Tai asked Su Zhan to pass on a message to Han Shi and Su Chunlin, asking them to come and help take care of the child.

I made another trip to the Wood Dimension to get a lot of traditional Chinese medicine, and went to the Fire Dimension's Western pharmacy to get some emergency anti-inflammatory drugs, fever reducers, and so on.

She also prepared a lot of snacks that the children like to eat.

After settling things at home, Su Tai and Huang Xinghua also set off with the caravan.

The carriage she and Huang Xinghua were riding in was entirely covered with thick cotton cloth, and there were four or five cotton quilts underneath.

The carriage, modified by Shen Yi, had springs for shock absorption and was also equipped with cotton quilts, making it incredibly comfortable.

She and Huang Xinghua got into the carriage and lay down, wanting to sleep. She would close her eyes and then open them again to rest, without causing any trouble for anyone.

Even when they were in a hurry, they didn't utter a sound.

It was so quiet it was as if there were no women in the caravan.

After wandering around like this, when they arrived in the capital, they not only didn't look haggard, but actually gained quite a bit of weight.

It amazed all the men.

Ke Yunyun and Xiao Xi never dreamed that Su Tai would come, and their eyes immediately welled up with tears when they saw her.

Tangtang is already six months old, a time when she is adorable and fun. Su Tai held her in her arms and wouldn't let go, constantly putting a bunch of silver locks and necklaces around her neck.

When Ke Yunyun returned after a short while, she was laughing so hard she could hardly breathe when she saw her adorned daughter. "Cousin, look at her! She can barely lift her head! You can't give her so much!"

Su Tai also found it amusing. While helping Tang Tang untie her necklace, she scolded her playfully, "Our girl has to save up for her dowry since she was little. This is all prepared by me, her aunt. Don't meddle!"

Poor families don't have so many rules, but now that they have some wealth, they have the right to be particular.

Ke Yunyun was delighted that her daughter was being pampered, so she didn't refuse anymore. She only asked, "It's almost the end of the year, don't you and your aunt have anything to do at home? Why did the Emperor come?" Su Tai's brows furrowed slightly with worry. "I heard that my godfather was sick, so I came to see him. There's also Tian Tian. My aunt was worried about Tian Tian, ​​so we came together!"

Ke Yunyun pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that the Marquis is alright, and Tian Tian should be fine too. However, since we are all family, I won't hide it from you. Tian Tian's health has actually improved a long time ago. My husband said that he doesn't know what's going on, but every time my cousin and his family come over, something strange happens. Everything was fine before. He is worried that someone doesn't want Tian Tian to go back with my cousin and his family."

Tang Yu's guess was not unfounded.

Since his last visit to the Yong'an Marquis's residence, he has been able to take up the position of clerk in the government office that he had longed for. In less than a year, he was promoted again and is now a ninth-rank official in charge of finances and grains. The position of finance and grains official has always been a lucrative post, and it is impossible to get this position without some means and connections.

He never dared to dream of sitting in this position, but he did, and he sat there very steadily. Even his superiors and colleagues didn't dare to be jealous and try to trip him up. This is abnormal, extremely abnormal!
All these changes began at the Yong'an Marquis's residence.

He didn't think someone like the Marquis of Yong'an would go to such lengths for such an insignificant nobody as him.

The only possible reason is Shen Tian.

He was Shen Tian's mentor, and she wanted to please him, win Shen Tian's favor, or show off her abilities.

Of course, all of this was just his guess, something he whispered to Ke Yunyun behind her back.

Ke Yunyun secretly told Su Tai these analyses because she trusted her.

Upon hearing this, Huang Xinghua's face paled instantly, and she asked tremblingly, "Who? Who's so blind as to want to take a liking to my daughter? We're just ordinary country girls, we've never seen the world, we don't know anything, who could possibly want her!"

As she spoke, Huang Xinghua started to cry again, looking frightened and helpless.

Su Tai comforted her, "Auntie, what my cousin said was just a guess, it might not be true. Let's pack up and go to the Marquis's residence now, and ask him in person if there's anything wrong, okay?"

"Okay, okay, okay," Huang Xinghua couldn't wait to see Shen Tian right now.

The two packed their things and, accompanied by Su Zhan and Shen Dagou, went to the Yong'an Marquis's residence.

Shen Dagou is now a regular at the Marquis's mansion. The gatekeeper gets a headache just looking at him, but he still has to greet him with a smile.

"Oh! Young Master Shen, you're back so soon!"

Shen Dagou found his face amusing. "Uncle Liu, this is my mother, and this is the Marquis's daughter-in-law."

Uncle Liu's expression changed, and he quickly led the way for them.

"I didn't know the young mistress was coming back, so I didn't have time to send someone to pick you up properly."

Uncle Liu secretly sized up Su Tai and saw that she had a kind and elegant temperament and a very pleasing and beautiful appearance. She looked like a lucky person.

He couldn't help but nod in approval, thinking that his lord had quite the discerning eye for kinship.

As they spoke, the group entered the hall.

The steward hurriedly led the servants in carrying the charcoal stove, bowed respectfully to Su Tai, and said something similar to what Uncle Liu said.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with him, Liu Laosan entered, supported by his servants.

Seeing his condition, Su Tai's expression changed slightly, and she quickly stepped forward, "Godfather, what happened to your leg?"

When Liu Laosan met Su Tai's concerned gaze, he wanted to cry!

What a rip-off! He was perfectly fine before, but because they came, he got sick again.

"Good child, Lizhou and the capital are so far apart, why did you come? Aren't you busy at home?"
