Long Live the Empress

Chapter 293 Meeting in the Backyard

The servant ran to Jinglan Garden, and when they arrived, Aunt Su had fainted from hunger.

Yue Tianhong was young, and although he did not faint, he could only lie on the couch with his eyes closed and breathe.

"Master, Madam, the master has asked me to ask you to leave!" The smell in the room was so bad that the servants could only cover their noses and speak.

On the couch, Yue Tianhong opened his eyes a little and asked weakly, "But my grandfather is here?"

"Yes, Master Su is waiting for you and Auntie in the front hall now!"

Yue Tianhong struggled to get up, but he had no choice. No one could get up after not eating or drinking for a few days...

The servant was active and immediately had someone bring tea and snacks, feeding them both little by little.

After half an hour, Aunt Su slowly woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw a maid feeding her. Aunt Su shook her head and said weakly, "I'm fine. Let the young master eat first!"

Yue Tianhong, who was sitting beside him, suddenly had tears in his eyes when he heard this. His aunt was the best mother in the world. At this critical moment of life and death, his aunt would rather not eat herself and take care of herself first...

"Aunt! Am I fine? Eat quickly, and let's go see grandpa when we have strength! Grandpa is waiting for us in the front hall now!" Yue Tianhong held Aunt Su's hand and said with sobs.

When Aunt Su heard that her father was coming, the blood in her heart immediately boiled. She supported herself and asked with red eyes: "Is what Hong'er said true? Father came to see us? Father really came to see us?"

Yue Tianhong smiled and nodded heavily, "Yes! Aunt! Grandfather is here! He's really here!"

"Hehehehe..." Aunt Su lay back on the couch, laughing hoarsely. "Yue Hanwen, Yue Jing, hello! Just wait! My father won't let it go! Hehehe..."

When Yue Jinghao was mentioned, Yue Tianhong's eyes turned fierce, "Don't worry, Auntie! They won't be so proud for long!"

"Master, Madam, is it possible to go now?" the servant asked. Even if he hadn't urged them, the front hall had sent people to ask several times, saying that Su Keqi was already impatient to wait.

"Just tell us that we can't get up from the bed and ask father to come and see me!" Aunt Su said.

She just wanted to let her father see what kind of life she was living now. If it wasn't for her father and brother, how could she be willing to be a concubine? Now that her father was in a high position and had great power, she didn't want to suffer these grievances anymore. She would not let anyone who bullied them go!

"This..." The servant was a little embarrassed. How could he entertain guests in such an environment?

"Do as your aunt says!" Yue Tianhong said sternly.

"Yes! I'll report it right away!" The servant ran away.

Aunt Su rubbed her dry hair vigorously, then picked up a handful of dirt from the ground and smeared it on her face.

"Auntie, what's this?" Yue Tianhong asked in confusion.

"The more miserable we are, the more distressed your grandfather will be!" Aunt Su said, and smeared the remaining dirt in her hand on Yue Tianhong's face.

Yue Tianhong suddenly realized: "Aunt is still smart!"

After saying that, Yue Tianhong tore holes in the quilts they were covered with and pulled out the cotton inside...

Yue Hanwen became nervous when he heard from the servants that Aunt Su was ill and couldn't get out of bed, and asked Su Keqi to meet her in the backyard.

"After all, the backyard is where women live. It might be inconvenient for Lord Su to go there. It's better to ask them to come over!" After all, the old lady is older and thinks more than others, so she said this.

If someone were to be polite, he would definitely avoid suspicion upon hearing someone say that, but Su Keqi was a military commander, he didn't care about those beating around the bush, and blurted out: "I'm just going to see my daughter, not to see another woman taking a bath, old lady, don't worry!"

"..." The old lady was unable to say anything else after hearing the nonsense, so she winked at Yue Hanwen.

Seeing that the old lady agreed, Yue Hanwen stood up and led Su Keqi to the backyard.

"You two follow him. If anything goes wrong, you have to help the master!" The old lady glanced at Su Hongfu and the others, and the two nodded in agreement and followed him.

Yue Jinghao was tending to the flowers in the greenhouse when she heard Nanny Qin come to report: "Miss, Su Keqi is here and has gone to Jinglan Courtyard!"

Yue Jinghao clapped her hands, looked at the beautiful and attractive flowers and said, "Then let's get ready. Father will send someone to invite us soon!"

"I will help the young lady to dress up!" While wiping Yue Jinghao's hands with a handkerchief, Manju asked Yue Jinghao which dress she wanted to wear.

Yue Jinghao said: "Just wear that hibiscus-colored gilded skirt! It would be most suitable to match it with the jade bracelet and golden phoenix hairpin!"

"Yes! Miss!" Agate carefully helped Yue Jinghao back to the room.
