429 Capture
Su Gui looked at Li Guanfeng who was carrying Xiaowu. Xiaowu also trusted him and lay on his shoulder. It really looked like they had been together for a few years.
Su Gui led the way. He really could not understand why such a young master would buy a child bride…
When they arrived at the Su mansion, Su Gui smiled. “Young Master, please. You two guards don’t have to follow us.”
Ligui and Liming looked at Su Gui coldly. “We are his personal guards.”
Li Guanfeng narrowed his eyes. “Xiaowu is just going to see her grandmother. If we’re not welcome, we’ll leave now.”
There was something strange about the Su family, but he had no choice but to make this trip despite knowing that the danger was lurking.
Su Xiaowu wrapped her arms around Li Guanfeng’s neck and was a little nervous. She was really afraid that Li Guanfeng would be angry and storm away. That way, she would not be able to see her grandmother.
Li Guanfeng patted her back. Su Xiaowu looked up at him and smiled when she saw Li Guanfeng’s gentle and reassuring expression.
Su Gui looked at Li Guanfeng and immediately smiled obsequiously. “It’s not that you are not welcome, but Old Madam’s health is not as good as before. If there are too many people present, they will disturb Old Madam. Once they do, Old Madam will have a headache.”
Li Guanfeng said calmly, “They’ll come in with me and wait outside the room.”
Su Gui nodded. “Alright, Young Master, please.”
In the Su mansion of the herbal family, there were many flowers and trees. They were especially beautiful and the scenery was especially charming.
Su Xiaowu looked around with wide eyes.
Li Guanfeng lowered his voice. “Xiaowu, can you remember anything?”
Su Xiaowu shook her head. “I can’t remember anything.”
Everything here seemed unfamiliar to her. She looked around blankly, as if she had stepped into a place she had never been to before.
Su Gui smiled and said, “Please follow me to see Madam first. When the time comes, Madam will bring Miss to see Old Madam. Old Madam has been waiting for this day for a long time.”
Su Gui sighed. He was not lying about this.
Old Madam Su had waited too long for that silly granddaughter.
Li Guanfeng only nodded lightly and followed Su Gui.
When they arrived at the main hall, a woman in luxurious clothes was sitting there. She was extremely beautiful. When Su Xiaowu looked at her, she subconsciously shrank her neck. Li Guanfeng hugged Su Xiaowu tightly and whispered. “Xiaowu, don’t be afraid.”
Su Xiaowu buried her face in Li Guanfeng’s shoulder, her body trembling.
Li Guanfeng looked at the woman coldly. “Madam, when will you take Xiaowu to see Old Madam?”
Madam Su smiled faintly. “Old Madam is quite old and must avoid any stimulation. Over the years, countless people have come to impersonate Xiaowu. Every time Old Madam sees someone, she will suffer a blow and fall seriously ill. Xiaowu, turn around and let Mother take a good look at you.”
Li Guanfeng frowned. This woman did exist in Su Xiaowu’s limited memories. At that time, she was still a concubine, but now that she called herself Mother, it meant that she was now the first wife.
Li Guanfeng patted Su Xiaowu’s back. “Xiaowu, don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
Su Xiaowu slowly turned her head as if she was afraid. Madam Su looked at Su Xiaowu and smiled. “Xiaowu hasn’t changed much. Do you remember anything?”
Su Xiaowu lowered her head and shook her head.
Madam Su sighed. “Young Master, how did you meet Xiaowu?”
Li Guanfeng looked at Madam Su. “I bought her from someone else. Xiaowu is now my child bride.”
Madam Su was stunned. “Your child bride?”
She looked at Li Guanfeng, as if trying to determine if he was telling the truth. However, from Li Guanfeng’s serious expression, she knew that he meant it.
Madam Su smiled. “Xiaowu is still young. We’ll talk about this matter in the future.”
Li Guanfeng interrupted Madam Su. “When can we see Old Madam?”
Madam Su replied calmly. “Old Madam misses Xiaowu too. She has been in poor health recently. If she can see Xiaowu, she might be happy and get better.”
“Come with me.”
Madam Su looked at Li Guanfeng and turned to walk to the backyard.
Li Guanfeng carried Xiaowu and followed suit. Ligui and Liming followed behind.
A handkerchief hung down from Madam Su’s sleeve. She waved it gently.
Li Guanfeng and Su Xiaowu, who were following close behind, both inhaled a fragrance. Li Guanfeng reached out to cover Su Xiaowu’s mouth and nose.
Madam Su caught a glimpse of his action and said calmly, “The Su family is a herbal family. There are many flowers and plants in the mansion, so it smells good all year round.”
Li Guanfeng didn’t say anything. He followed Madam Su to a quiet courtyard. Madam Su pushed the door open. “Old Madam is inside. If there are too many people, Old Madam will have a headache.”
Li Guanfeng looked at Liming and Ligui. “Wait here.”
Only then did Madam Su walk in.
Li Guanfeng asked Su Xiaowu in a low voice. “Xiaowu, do you remember this place?”
Su Xiaowu shook her head. It was too unfamiliar.
Li Guanfeng also sensed that something was wrong and stopped in his tracks.
Madam Su was already inside the room. She turned around. “What’s wrong? Xiaowu, don’t you want to see your grandmother anymore?”
Li Guanfeng looked at Madam Su coldly.
Madam Su sighed. “Young Master, you are really wary, but you’ve entered the Su mansion. Isn’t it a little too late to be so cautious now?”
Madam Su smiled faintly. She raised her hands and gently clapped. Immediately, many servants hiding in the bush came out, surrounding the quiet courtyard.
Ligui and Liming’s expressions turned serious. “Sir.”
Su Xiaowu hugged Li Guanfeng tightly. “Brother…”
Li Guanfeng looked at Madam Su. “Who are you?”
Madam Su looked at Li Guanfeng and then instructed her people coldly. “Tie him up.”
Ligui and Liming drew their swords in defense, but they suddenly felt light-headed. They shook their heads. “Sir, the smell is poisonous.”
Li Guanfeng said calmly, “It’s the fragrance of the flowers just now.”
His eyes darkened as he staggered and slowly fell.
Ligui and Liming were the same. Su Xiaowu also fell unconscious.
Madam Su waved her hand, and the servants swiftly came forward and tied them up. They brought Su Xiaowu to Madam Su.
Madam Su reached out and gently pinched Su Xiaowu’s chin. “Nothing has changed. She’s still alive after so many years. She’s really lucky.”
“It’s good that she’s alive. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to pry open that old thing’s mouth.”
Madam Su let go of her hand. “When Master comes back, tell him that I already left.”
Su Gui nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely tell the Master when he’s back.”
Madam Su nodded. “Lock them up for the time being. They’re still useful. Watch them carefully. These people have some martial arts foundation. You can double the dosage of the drug.”
Su Gui nodded. “Don’t worry, Madam. I’ll do my job well.”
