Zhou Ruoxue did not object. She stood up and said, "Thank you for your hard work, mother and master. Let's go back and wait for news. Lin'er, Yao'er, let's go."

Seeing her parents say the same thing, Su Yao reluctantly followed her brother and helped Zhou Ruoxue back.

Old Madam Su and Su Yuanwang quickened their pace and walked towards Su Yue's Qingyouyuan.

Along the way, Old Madam Su prayed silently in her heart that Zhou Zhuo would not be found in Su Yue's yard.

Su Yuan saw that Old Madam Su was in a hurry, so he asked, "Mother, do you think Zhou Zhuo is in Yue's courtyard?"

Madam Su sighed and said, "I am just guessing. If the Lin family finds out in advance, Yue will have no choice but to marry Zhou Zhuo.

I just realized what the Zhou family is really planning. I heard that the Zhou family’s business was not doing well some time ago and they also sold many shops.

Now they are targeting Yue girl just because they want Yue girl's mother's dowry. As long as Yue girl's reputation is ruined, the Zhou family will definitely finalize the marriage."

Su Yuanwang was enlightened by Old Madam Su's reminder.

His face became solemn. The Su family had been burdened with various expenses in recent years. Especially as he was the Minister of War, all the personal relationships and official affairs required a lot of money.

All of this was largely dependent on the generous dowry left by Su Yue's deceased mother.

Su Yuanwang understood that Su Yue would get married sooner or later, and this dowry would not be able to be kept for a few years, but even if she lost it, it had to be a meaningful loss.

Su Yuanwang has already chosen his son-in-law in his mind tonight, and that is the third son of Duke Li.

Although Mr. Li San is not very smart, he is a good match for Su Yue.

After all, the third son of the Li family cannot find a concubine, and Duke Li will be nicer to Su Yue for the sake of his silly son.

"Mother, what you said makes sense. If this is true, the Zhou family's move is tantamount to taking advantage of the situation. If we find Zhou Zhuo in Qingyouyuan later, we must protect Yue's innocence and maintain the reputation of the Su family." Su Yuanwang pondered for a moment and put forward his own opinion.

Madam Su nodded, a firm look flashed in her eyes: "Yes, that's why I asked you to follow me to Qingyou Garden to check out the situation. The fewer people who know about this, the better.

If Zhou Zhuo was really there, he had to come up with a foolproof plan and not let this matter get out of hand.

At the same time, we must also be on guard against the Zhou family. If they learn of this, they will definitely take this opportunity to make a big fuss.”

Su Yuanwang's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. "If Zhou Zhuo is really in Yue's courtyard, it means that he is faking his amnesia. But the amnesia has spread, so as his uncle, I will naturally help him confirm it."

Madam Su immediately understood what Su Yuanwang meant, "Zheng family, go and invite the court doctor over."

Nanny Zheng immediately responded and left, and Su Yuanwang also ordered the servant beside him to notify all the corner gates, saying that no one could enter or leave the Su Mansion without his order tonight.

On the other side, Zhou Ruoxue, her mother and her two sons were also discussing this matter on their way back.

"Mother, what exactly do my uncle and aunt want to do? Why did I hear rumors in the mansion that the Zhou family wanted to marry Su Yue?"

Su Zelin had been drinking with the young men from aristocratic families who had come to attend Su Yao's coming-of-age ceremony today. After the banquet was over, he learned that Zhou Zhuo was seriously injured. But before he could ask about the details, such a big thing happened again.

"That was when your aunt suspected that Zhuo'er was injured, and Su Yue clearly heard it but didn't save him, so she said she was an accomplice and had to take the responsibility." Zhou Ruoxue said vaguely. Of course, she couldn't say that Zhou Zhuo was disabled.

Su Zelin glanced at Zhou Ruoxue's face and asked, "Mother, do you agree with this?"

Su Yao couldn't help but interrupt: "Marry? That's too cheap for Su Yue. I think it's better for Su Yue to be my cousin's concubine."

Zhou Ruoxue glared at Su Yao and said lightly, "Yao'er, stop talking nonsense. Be careful that there are ears on the other side of the wall."

After Zhou Ruoxue finished speaking, she looked at her eldest son, whom she was proud of, and asked in a gentle tone: "What do you think, Lin'er?"

"Mother, since you asked, I will tell you the truth. I think this marriage is inappropriate.

It's not that I look down on my uncle's family, but Su Yue must marry someone who can bring help to the Su family."

For example, the third son of Li Guogong's family, although he looks tall and strong, he is actually just like a five or six-year-old child.

Of course, Su Zelin didn't say this out loud, after all, he hadn't gotten Su Yuanwang's consent yet.

Su Yao was a little dissatisfied when she heard it, "Brother, why should our Su family rely on her Su Yue? Aren't you going to take the imperial examination this year?

With your ability, it would be easy for you to become the top scholar. Besides, I am here. I will find a princess or a prince's consort in the future, and I can also help our Su family."

Su Zelin smiled dotingly at Su Yao, "Yao'er is right, but Su Yue is going to get married after all, so don't waste her. She should naturally marry someone who is useful to our family."

Zhou Ruoxue felt helpless. It was an indisputable fact that her mother's family was declining. Her son was ambitious and she couldn't say anything to him, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Alright, there's nothing decided about this matter. After all, Su Yue is the eldest daughter of our family. Your grandmother and father have the final say on her marriage.

Right now, we just need to find Zhuo'er as soon as possible, and we can talk about other things later."

Su Zelin thought of something and asked again, "My eldest cousin is missing. Have you informed your uncle about this?"

Zhou Ruoxue shook her head. "Don't notify me yet. If I really can't find it, I'll notify you tomorrow. Maybe I'll find it later."

Su Yao looked relaxed, "Mother, don't worry, my intuition is always accurate, I think my cousin must be in Su Yue's Qingyou Courtyard."

Zhou Ruoxue sighed again, "It's not that mother doesn't believe you, it's that your cousin has lost his memory now, he doesn't even know Su Yue, how can he know where Su Yue lives.

Besides, Su Yue's foot is injured and she can't walk at all. Most of the servants in her yard are my spies. How can I hide your cousin?"

Su Yao was stunned. She had actually forgotten this.

……

At this moment, Su Yue was sitting in front of a bronze mirror, admiring her delicate appearance in the light of candlelight.

Of course, her looks cannot compare to Su Yao's. After all, she is the heroine of the book, and the author must have written Su Yao as stunningly beautiful.

But Su Yue's eyes are very lively, which adds a lot of color to her excellent appearance.

Nanny Yang and Rendong were originally very nervous, but when they saw Su Yue being so narcissistic, they looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

Su Yue saw the two people's actions in the mirror, raised the corners of her lips and said: "Oh, you two are finally willing to laugh."

Nanny Yang glanced at the door, then looked at Su Yue and asked, "Miss, do you think they will really come?

Su Yue turned around and leaned her back against the dressing table without any manners. "He should be here. I guess it's about time."

As soon as Su Yue finished speaking, a little maid came in to report that the old lady and the master had arrived.

Nanny Yang and Rendong's expressions instantly became nervous. They originally thought that it would be Nanny Zheng or Butler Su who came, but they didn't expect that it would be Old Madam Su and the eldest master who came in person.

Su Yue stood up calmly, went straight to the bed and lay down, and said: "I am a patient now, you two go out to greet grandma and father for me."

Although Nanny Yang and Rendong were nervous, they still went out to greet them as instructed.

Old Madam Su and Su Yuanwang had just finished instructing the servants to search Qingyou Garden when they saw Nanny Yang and Rendong come out of the house and quickly come over to pay their respects.
