Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Returning to Her Parents’ Home

The visitor was Su Yunjin’s aunt, Su Xiang’e, her father’s own sister, and thus Su Yunjin’s maternal aunt. Since childhood, this maternal aunt had always been quite affectionate towards Su Yunjin and her siblings.

Upon hearing that her second sister, Su Ningxiu, was to be sold to Old Master Huang as a concubine, Su Yunjin’s maternal aunt, Su Xiang’e, was also in a state of extreme anxiety.

She hastily made her way to the Gu Family to inform Su Yunjin of the matter, hoping that Su Yunjin could also think of a way to help. No matter what, her second sister, Su Ningxiu, could not truly be married off to a nearly sixty-year-old man as a concubine!

“Yun’er, you and your second sister have always had the closest relationship. Now that your father and mother are out of ideas, and Xiaobao is too young to be of any use, and your brother is not at home, you are the only one who can help your second sister!”

“Aunt, don’t worry! I will go back to the Su Family with you right away!” Her second sister, Su Ningxiu, had been good to her–when she had woken from her fainting spell, Su Ningxiu had visited her, with concern and care in her eyes. That concern had warmed Su Yunjin’s heart at the time, making her feel fortunate to have such a sister and older brother. How could Su Yunjin not help her second sister, Su Ningxiu, who treated her so well?

Moreover, she had a score yet to settle with her dear cousin, Su Xiaofu, and her step-grandmother!

Su Xiaofu had stolen her fiance and pushed her into the water, which had caused the original body’s owner’s death. Now that she had taken over the original body, the original owner’s vengeance would naturally be sought by Su Yunjin!

She also would not easily let go of the matter of her step-grandmother selling her!

Originally, Su Yunjin had planned to find time to return to the Su Family and settle these old scores properly! Now, without even going to the Su Family, those people from the Su Family had come to her doorstep!

Dare to sell her second sister?

Very well!

She would take this opportunity to go back and settle both new and old accounts with her step-grandmother and Su Xiaofu!

Fearing that Su Ningxiu might be sold to the Huang Residence if they delayed, Su Xiang’e didn’t dare tarry. After Su Yunjin agreed to go back with her to the Su Family, she hurriedly grasped Su Yunjin’s hand and they both rushed towards the Su Family.

Halfway there, walking with her aunt, Su Yunjin remembered that in her hurry, she had forgotten to notify the Gu Family.

She was returning to her maternal home, and she should at least inform her mother-in-law and her husband, Gu Ya. Just ahead was Butcher Yu’s house, where she saw Lady Song picking vegetables in the yard. Su Yunjin turned to her aunt and said, “Aunt, please wait for me a moment! I’ll be quick.”

“Yun’er, where are you going?” Su Xiang’e was filled with worry for Su Ningxiu, fearing that Ningxiu might truly become that old man’s concubine.

Su Yunjin explained, “Aunt, I was in a rush and forgot to inform my mother-in-law and husband. That’s Lady Song’s house ahead, I’ll ask her to help me tell them that I have returned to my maternal home with you.”

Once she understood Su Yunjin’s intention, Su Xiang’e, belatedly realizing her oversight, slapped her forehead and said, “That’s right, that’s right, Yun’er. Look at how muddled your aunt is, forgetting something so important! Hurry and go say it, I’ll wait for you here.”

After entering Butcher Yu’s house and explaining her purpose, Lady Song said to Su Yunjin with enthusiasm, “Don’t worry! Yun’er, I will relay your message to your in-laws.”

“Sister-in-law, I appreciate your help with this matter.” Su Yunjin said politely, to which Lady Song waved her hand and replied, “What’s the trouble? It’s nothing! Your second sister’s situation is more pressing. You should hurry back to your maternal home!”
