Chapter 370 I am Yu Mu
Shen Yu had not expected this. The dried fruit business in Yuncheng came to them on their own initiative. They only cared about production and not sales. In the beginning, this business was brought to them by a wealthy businessman who happened to pass by the village and found the stable workshop by himself.
It turns out that while the Su family was hiding carefully, they also remembered her...
Ever since she learned that the Su family had faked their deaths to get away, she had some thoughts. She couldn't be said to be complaining, but she was somewhat disappointed... After all, she was not the one who had any feelings for them. She didn't know why Prince De didn't tell her about her brother's existence, so Shen Yu treated the Su family as ordinary relatives. When she learned that someone came to her house, she didn't take it too seriously. It was just that seeing Nanny Su so excited, she couldn't pretend to be indifferent.
Sensing the princess's gaze lingering on him, Su Zhi knelt down without saying a word and apologized, "I am the old slave who spoke too much. I beg the princess to forgive me."
"Get up!"
Shen Yu slowly retracted his gaze, and glanced at Gu Yu, "Go and bring Mu'er over." When he looked at Su Zhi again, his tone was a little more helpless, "Uncle Zhi, if you have anything to say next time, just say it directly. There's no need to apologize all the time!"
Although he spoke politely, he did not lend a hand to help the man up. Shen Yu could understand his eagerness to protect his master, but this was somewhat like moral blackmail, which made her a little unhappy.
Su Zhi, who is already old, is really ashamed. He is really going backwards as he gets older. However, there are things that he should do without hesitation.
"I believe there are many people who know you, Uncle Zhi. Are grandpa and the others planning to show up?" Shen Yu didn't intend to continue dwelling on this and deliberately changed the subject.
"Replying to Princess, in fact, the area bordering Yuncheng and Zhuocheng happens to be in the territory of Xi County. When we learned that Princess had arrived there, the master and his men immediately set out to rush over. Unfortunately, when they arrived, the king was ready to return to the city, so they had to miss her with regret."
Nanny Su, who had been silent the whole time, stood up suddenly, looked at him in surprise and asked, "What? The master and his men have arrived in Zhuocheng?" Then she looked at Shen Yu again, her eyes full of surprise, "Young lady..."
Su Zhi looked at her with a smile, knowing what she was thinking, "Don't worry, Ma'am, your youngest son is doing well. He is now working with the Second Young Master."
Shen Yu was shocked. It turned out that Nanny Su's son and daughter-in-law were both in the Su Mansion. She happened to be taking her grandson out that year and was able to escape the disaster.
Shen Yu frowned, "Those old people in the Su Mansion..."
"They don't know." Before he finished speaking, Su Zhi hurriedly explained, "The master asked them to leave in order to prevent so many people from suffering...Princess, they are all loyal people, and Xiao Lan...Alas!"
Nanny Su looked at his expression and also showed reluctance. "Xiao Lan has been well-behaved since she was young, and has always been close to the young lady. She has never failed to do the work assigned to her. When she left, she didn't say a word. No one thought that after the young lady passed away, she would be so decisive... By the time our people knew her plan, it was too late... Although we are angry and annoyed, we are also grateful to her, but more of it is heartache..."
Shen Yu thought of the woman who had volunteered to be a concubine in order to avenge her mother...
The two exchanged glances and were just thinking about how to comfort the young lady in a roundabout way when they heard her speak in a normal tone, "Shen Nian should have sent someone to investigate the Su Mansion, right? Not long ago, we received news from Luocheng that he has sent out a signal that when Aunt Lan gives birth to the baby, it will be Madam Shen... and..."
She carefully thought about the information fed back by the spies. Be it the Empress Dowager or the Emperor, they indeed had less contact with Lord Shen recently. This made him even more hesitant to act rashly. This was very good.
"Sister, are you looking for me?"
A child's voice sounded, bringing the three people in the room back to their senses.
"Mu'er, come here!" Shen Yu looked at the ink on his brother's sleeves and knew that he was working hard again before coming over.
This younger brother really makes her worry-free, making her feel that in a few more years, she will have another "brother"... Oh no, two!
Yu Mu greeted Nanny Su and looked curiously at the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared in the mansion.
He walked obediently to his sister's side. Two similar faces looked at Su Zhi at the same time. Suddenly, he had a wrong guess in his mind.
"Princess...he, he is..."
Shen Yu smiled at him, "Didn't Prince De tell you? When my mother passed away, my brother was thrown into a mass grave by Luo Yunmei. It was Nanny Su and Baoer who rushed to save him. At that time, Prince De also sent people to secretly rescue my brother. Later, thanks to Aunt Ye's help in covering up and my master, Master Zhu Ling's help in prolonging his life, Mu'er was able to grow up safely..."
She gently touched the top of her brother's head, "Oh, by the way, Mu'er has already acknowledged Prince De as his adoptive father."
The brother and sister smiled at each other, their faces connected by blood even smiling in unison.
Although her brother and Prince De had not formally kowtowed yet, they all knew that it was a matter of time. In this case, she was willing to help her new adoptive father publicize his merits...
Looking at Su Zhi, who was already speechless due to shock, she had a solemn expression, and the aura of a superior was fully revealed. "Over the years... many people have been secretly looking after my brother and me. My brother used to be called Yu Mu, and he will be called Lu Mu in the future, but he has never been Shen Mu... Do you understand?"
Shen Yu's words were already very clear. Su Zhi's expression was indescribable. He was three parts shocked, three parts excited, three parts unreal, and three parts complicated.
Their little lady, I'm afraid she will be in trouble in the future. When the young lady passed away, she was only nine years old? Or ten years old? In that situation, how could she let Madam Su go to the mass grave to rescue her brother?
Although it sounds safe, the danger and hardship involved can be imagined... He looked at Shen Yu with a little more inquiry in his eyes, and looked at the little boy in front of him with a solemn expression...
Their poor young lady actually has a son alive? If the master and the young masters knew, how happy they would be! Looking at the similar eyebrows and eyes of the two, he had no doubt about Yu Mu... not Lu Mu's identity.
"Old slave Su Zhi, I pay my respects to the young master!" He knelt down again decisively, but before he was asking for forgiveness, now he was acknowledging his master.
Yu Mu raised his eyebrows. Another young master?
Old slave? Is your last name Su... He looked up at his sister, and seeing that she didn't object, he raised his hand and said, "Please stand up. Are you from the Su Mansion? Were you sent here by... Grandpa?"
"Yes! I am the old servant who is confused. I am the steward of the master!"
Su Zhi smiled and said, "Today I was supposed to give gifts on behalf of my master and my uncle, but I didn't expect to get such an unexpected surprise!"
All their conjectures were confirmed. This happy accident was better than they expected...
