470 Madam Zhao Recovered Her Memory 2
“He has suffered quite a few injuries himself. If this was when he was younger, those few people would be nothing. In the end, he’s still getting old and he’s not as fast as before.”
Old Wu glanced at Gui You.
Gui You’s expression was still calm as he said, “Are you talking about the time when I killed more than four hundred bandits and you drugged three of them?”
Su Xiaolu was speechless.
She wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to. She admitted that she was much happier now.
Old Wu raised his chin and snorted proudly. “Hmph.”
Gui You glanced at Su Xiaolu, pursed his lips, and nodded without saying anything.
They returned to the Su residence together.
Old Wu looked at the house and nodded. “Not bad, not bad. When that family gets the news, they’ll probably be so angry that they’ll fall seriously ill.”
Old Wu did not specify, but Su Xiaolu knew which family he was talking about.
Su Hua became the top scorer. Although Su Chong did not pass, he was still a High Scholar. It was rare for this to appear in a family.
The news had not been sent back yet, but it would eventually arrive.
Being a top scorer was an honor that many people dreamed of.
Even in a scholarly family, it was difficult to produce a top scorer. Old Master Su would naturally regret it after hearing such news.
The Su family would also be angry and regretful.
Su Xiaolu opened the door and went home. She said to the servants, “These two are my Masters.”
After letting the servants recognize them, Su Xiaolu settled Gui You and Old Wu down.
Su Xiaoling also came over to greet him. Old Wu waved his hand. “Xiaoling, how have you been recently?”
Su Xiaoling nodded. “Thank you for your concern, Uncle-Master. I’m fine. How are the two of you?”
Old Wu nodded. “We’re all good.”
Gui You only nodded.
Old Wu and Gui You went to see Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao.
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao did not expect Old Wu and Gui You to come to the capital. Madam Zhao was a little embarrassed.
Su Sanlang smiled warmly and greeted them. “Mr. Gui You, Brother Wu, you’re here.”
Old Wu and Gui You nodded.
After greeting them, Old Wu and Gui You returned to their rooms to rest.
Madam Zhao quickly came out and went to the kitchen to cook with Su Xiaoling.
Since Old Wu and Gui You were here, how could they not cook personally?
In the afternoon, Su Chong and Su Hua returned.
Gui You immediately checked Su Chong’s foundation.
After checking Su Chong, Gui You looked at Su Xiaolu. “Girl, bring me a sword.”
Previously, Su Xiaolu was not in a good mood, but she was much better now.
Su Chong had already surpassed his master. Gui You did not know how far Su Xiaolu had gone.
However, after exchanging blows, he was also surprised. The little girl had improved a lot. This level of improvement could be said to be better than when she had learned it in the past.
At dinner.
Old Wu and Gui You were both drinking. Su Sanlang, Su Chong, and Su Hua accompanied them.
Old Wu was very happy. “Not bad, not bad.”
The once silly boys had also grown up, and there was wisdom in their eyes.
After dinner, Su Sanlang said, “Chong, Hua, Xiaoling, Xiaolu, Father and Mother have something to say.”
He supported Madam Zhao’s decision, but he should let the children know about this decision.
Su Chong, Su Hua, and the others all knew about this. Worry showed between their brows, but they tacitly did not ask.
Su Sanlang said with a smile, “I’ve thought about this decision for a long time. I’ve thought about it long before this. If this was ten years ago, I wouldn’t have supported your mother’s decision. It’s just that now that you’ve all grown up, I don’t have to worry about you anymore. Our family is considered rich. The remaining money in our hands can be spent for several lifetimes.”
“That’s why Father supports your mother’s decision. Without memories of the past, it’s incomplete. Even if this doesn’t happen, something else will. This decision won’t disappear. It’s just a matter of time. Although it’s very risky, Father and Mother have already thought it through. If it succeeds, the knot in Father and Mother’s hearts will be resolved. If it fails, we won’t be troubled by it in the future.”
Su Sanlang looked at Madam Zhao. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
Old Wu and Gui You did not interrupt.
Su Chong, Su Hua, and the others looked at each other.
Su Xiaoling was already crying.
Madam Zhao was also crying. She choked and said, “I’m sorry.”
She wanted to be selfish.
Su Chong sighed. “I don’t blame you, Mother. Do whatever you want. Life is too short. It’s a pity to leave behind regrets.”
Su Chong couldn’t say anything to stop her. Even he would be stubborn because of something he was obsessed with. Didn’t he also make things difficult for his parents? He didn’t say who he liked, didn’t his parents also respect him?
Therefore, he could do the same thing, and so could his parents.
Su Hua smiled gently and said, “Brother is right. A person’s life isn’t long. You should live without regrets. Father and Mother, don’t worry about us. We’ve already grown up. We’re doing what we want to do. Father and Mother, just do what you want to do. We’ll always be a family.”
No matter what happened, they were still a family.
Su Xiaoling wiped her tears and smiled. “I support Mother.”
Su Xiaolu smiled sweetly and said seriously, “Me too.”
Su Sanlang smiled in relief.
Madam Zhao also smiled with tears in her eyes.
After making up her mind, Su Xiaolu let Madam Zhao take a shower and wash up to relax.
At night, Su Xiaolu came to give Madam Zhao acupuncture.
Madam Zhao was already prepared. She changed into comfortable clothes with her hair draped over her shoulders and welcomed the treatment in the most comfortable state.
Su Sanlang waited by the bed.
Su Xiaoling, Su Chong, and Su Hua were all in their rooms. They did not come because they did not want Madam Zhao to feel too pressured.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
Su Xiaolu took out the silver needles. She looked into Madam Zhao’s eyes and said with a smile, “Mother, no matter how painful your memories are, you have to remember that you have four children now and a husband who loves you. Remember us, okay? Don’t get lost in those pains. Those memories are just your past. You’ve already survived them.”
Madam Zhao nodded with tears in her eyes. “Okay.”
A needle pierced into Madam Zhao’s glabella, followed by another.
Madam Zhao slowly closed her eyes. Su Xiaolu wiped Madam Zhao’s tears with a handkerchief.
One silver needle after another pierced into an important acupuncture point. Su Xiaolu only stopped after 36.
“Father, let’s wait for Mother to wake up together.”
Su Xiaolu smiled at Su Sanlang.
Su Sanlang nodded. Not long after, Su Chong, Su Hua, and Su Xiaoling came over. The family sat by the bed and quietly waited for Madam Zhao to get through this difficult time.
Madam Zhao’s face gradually turned pale and she began to sweat, her lips trembling.
Su Sanlang held her hand and kissed it lightly. He said softly, “Darling, don’t be afraid. That’s all in the past. You have me and the children now.”
“All of us are accompanying you and waiting for you to come home,” Su Sanlang looked at Madam Zhao affectionately and whispered.
