Chapter 286: Important

"Don't worry, there are cameras at home and in the car, and they're checking step by step!"

Su Yu isn't very reassured. That day, both day and night brought mishaps, which were frustrating, and she didn't know whether they'd affect the two newlyweds' mood?

"Good things take many trials! Good things take many trials!"

Ye Ruotian's parents kept repeating those two lines. The wedding had already reached this stage, and they were unwilling to just give up. But when the old master learned the Son‑bearing Guanyin was missing, his attitude changed, and he even questioned whether the marriage was ill‑fated?

Today Ye's parents were quarreling with the second younger brother and his wife, and in their hearts they already thought the marriage was perfect! So, risking offending the in‑law family, they took the initiative to call and ask!

Fortunately, the in‑law family was open‑minded and volunteered to help search!

Through the efforts of the Xu family and Ye's parents, the good news was that the Son‑bearing Guanyin was found; the bad news was that it had been taken by Ye's paternal second uncle and second aunt.

"Our family has quite a few troublesome relatives."

The fact that Ye's second uncle and aunt could appear at that event showed they held some standing in the family. Later, it might not be appropriate to involve the Xu family. Xu Mo Yan had to give face to his wife's second uncle and aunt.

"What does their family want? Isn't forming a kinship with the Xu family a good thing?"

"You kids don't understand! Go to sleep quickly!"

Su Yu didn't want to sleep, 【why did Xu Mo Bai say that?】

The gossip forum had already clarified, 【Ye's second uncle is an illegitimate child; Ye's good marriage obviously brings him no benefit!】

Talking gossip, Wulongcha was still very enthusiastic. Especially after seeing Meng Xianle making money from various adapted gossip versions, it got itchy! An account on a platform could earn tens of thousands!

If they opened a few more, using those foreign scandals as talking points, wouldn't they say they made a fortune?

Domestic platforms once gained a lot of buzz by chasing rumors and exploiting those foreign scandal ideas; that was the factual truth, so more people should see it, right?

Unfortunately, Su Yu wasn't willing to learn!

Su Yu began to doubt whether this alliance was correct, 【are you sure Ye's parents aren't out of their minds? That's their daughter's wedding, and they invited an illegitimate child to attend?】

【It wasn't them who invited, it was Ye's grandfather. The elderly man, being old, liked to see harmonious scenes among his descendants. Oddly, he wanted his son to get along with the illegitimate child, yet he didn't get along with his own illegitimate son! What a double standard!】

Su Yu worried about one thing, 【they won't still attend the wedding, will they?】

Su Yu just wanted to attend a normal wedding—why was it so hard? She went along to deliver a betrothal gift, and that night she ran into this situation!

【It's said they aren't going, but whether they actually can't go is still unknown.】

Wulongcha checked the footage; that family wasn't going. But if tomorrow the old master Ye wakes up and wants to give his son another chance, that family would still appear at the wedding venue.

【Alright!】

Su Yu was sleepy, threw herself onto the pillow and fell asleep. The next morning when she woke, she groggily finished breakfast, got on the car and went to the chosen location.

"Mom, why did brother and the others choose this place for the wedding?"

It's open and spacious here, with various facilities that actually look quite nice, but that doesn't change the fact that this is a horse farm in reality!

This is a horse farm!

There are plenty of five‑star hotels, and the Su Clan also has many hotels with lawns; why choose this place?

"It's said this is Ye's horse farm; she wants to invite the most important person in her life to witness the wedding!"

Su Yu guessed that the most important one, "It can't be a horse, right?"

Exactly, that horse was raised from birth under Ye's care. The two grew up together, and their bond is no different from family! At this crucial moment, Ye wants that horse to bear witness together!

Su Yu truly admired!

She followed Ji Yan over, meeting Ye's beloved horse and its whole family.

Su Xi, who had also arrived early, saw Su Yu's bright gaze fixed on a foal eating nearby, and said, "Do you like horses? Our family also has a horse farm; you can go pick the one you like!"

"Uncle, I missed you!"

Su Xi scooped up the rushing Su Yu, "Do you want to raise one?"

Su Yu shook her head vigorously, "No, it's too troublesome!"

【It's expensive and troublesome, and you can't even take it out to play, what's the point?】

After Su Yu finished speaking, she still stared at those foals with an interested expression.

"Why are you staring at them continuously?"

Su Xi didn't understand Su Yu's thoughts, so he chose to ask directly.

"Their eyes are so big and beautiful!"

Su Yu and Su Xi hid here watching the horses lounge, while the banquet side quickly became lively!

"Why are you two hiding here?"

Su Yu saw Ye Shu and thought inwardly, 【I don't know if it's my illusion, but whenever I'm with Ye Shu, I'm especially unlucky and always run into something!】

This time it's the Xu family's wedding; she definitely doesn't want to mess it up!

"Uncle Ye, you're back?"

Ye Shu had already given up correcting Su Yu's way of addressing him; whatever she called him, as long as she called him, it was fine.

"Yes, I'm back. This matter is so important; I came back to congratulate, and I'll leave tomorrow!"

The family collectively pushed him to return for this part, arguing that he was young, his body resilient, and a round‑trip would be convenient, safe, and quick—much better than the whole family going back.

This time it was the whole family's opinion and suggestion; his resistance was ineffective, so he came back to give a gift. After giving the gift, he grew impatient

"Uncle Ye, is it fun abroad?"

"Not very fun!"

Through a year of effort, Ye Shu realized that striving is not as good as leaning on his parents and wife's support! The little he earned wasn't even enough for formula milk; how would he shelter his precious daughter from wind and rain in the future?

"We are currently in the country. If you want to recuperate, you can live with us; the two families together make it easier to care for you!"

That place was nice; Ye Shu hoped Su Yu would go there, first drawing his parents' attention. After the child was born and the child could occupy his parents' time, Su Yu would return here. That way, his parents wouldn't be bored and single‑out him for scolding!

"Thank you, but I don't need to recuperate for now."

"Alright!"

Ye Shu didn't force it.

Tsk, these horses are really well raised!

Ye Shu, with clumsy hands, picked up the nearby grass to tease the horse. Su Yu watched the horse's glossy eyes turn red and felt a bad omen.

Elder uncle, run!

Uncle Ye, stop playing, it's dangerous!

Su Xi sprinted with Su Yu, and Ye Shu, a moment slower, caught up. Just after the three of them left, the once‑docile horse began ramming the fence.

When Su Xi went over and called the steward, the horse had already broken through the fence and vanished!

What's going on? Why did that horse go berserk all of a sudden?

The steward was questioned, but he was also innocent! He only delivered food as usual and didn't take part in anything else—how could he know what happened?

Don't you know what the two honored guests did?

Su Xi and Ye Shu were both candid, voluntarily recounting what they had encountered.

The steward didn't ignore Su Yu. She looked obedient and cute—maybe she was just putting on an act?

Did this little friend not encounter something?

Su Yu didn't wait for Su Xi or Ye Shu to answer; she spoke herself.

Seeing that he couldn't rely on the guests, the steward feared losing his post for losing the master's prized horse on such a joyous day, his face ashen!

Xu Mo Yan personally went to fetch Ye Ruotian, leaving Xu Mo Bai, who was left to oversee the situation, anxious! Ye Ruotian had said the horse was crucial; she had repeatedly reminded everyone, even gave the horse a special bath recently so it could showcase its best spirit at her wedding!

Seeing the steward still lacking any sense, Xu Mo Bai, in a rage, sent him off to the police station!

Xu Mo Bai personally dispatched some bodyguards to locate the horse.

The horse was being searched for slowly, but people arrived quickly. At the Xu family's wedding, those who received invitations were generally very polite and well‑mannered.

Su Xi held Su Yu away from Ye Shu, and from a distance one could see that the newly arrived guests were truly happy! They chatted together, smiles beaming on their faces.

Elder uncle, won't you go take a look and have a chat?

I won't go.

He's already met all the Xu family members he needed to. Those willing to cooperate have already negotiated; those unwilling aren't forced—just as long as they don't act out inexplicably!

While Su Xi and Su Yu happily watched the guests play from the outer edge, the people Xu Mo Bai sent found the horse; the foals were unharmed. However, the big horse that Ye Ruotian favored was injured—its leg. If it can't be healed, the horse might die!

Wasn't it cleared already? How could there still be a trap?

Xu Mo Bai clutched her head, wanting to go mad in front of everyone! On this joyous day, the arena had been inspected again just yesterday! Why does this seemingly safe horse ground have a trap?

If there were traps at the banquet venue too, she can't even imagine how chaotic the wedding would become!

An experienced bodyguard voiced his thought, "That trap was newly dug, and it doesn't seem meant to trap the horse but to injure the rider on it!"

Everyone knows that Ye Ruotian and Xu Mo Yan will wear formal attire and ride in on horseback!

If that horse went out of control, only the two riders would be injured.

Xu Mo Bai knew she was rational; the horse's injury couldn't be healed, so the original plan for it to accompany the whole ceremony—perhaps before the banquet began and after it started—was to let the newlyweds see it?

Fine, I'll go find the bride and groom right now!

Xu Mo Bai went to look for the newlyweds, while Su Xi and the others circled the horse to assess the situation.

Why are you still here? What's there to see in a wounded horse?

Ye Shu glanced once; it was just a reflex. After the glance, Ye Shu seriously circled the horse several times, "That's odd. It looks so well‑raised, and now it's calm, so why would it suddenly have red eyes for no reason?"

After speaking, Ye Shu went to inspect the grass the horses had eaten! There are only a few places those people could have tampered with!

When Ye Ruotian learned of this, she wasn't very angry, "It's fine, just remember not to tell grandfather about this."

Ye Ruotian's grandfather would suddenly become superstitiously feudal. If he learned that blood was shed at this wedding, he'd certainly keep muttering that the wedding was doomed!

Ye Ruotian's grandfather truly is old; at home he unabashedly shows the domineering streak unique to his age. Outside, perhaps out of survival instinct, he disguises himself very well, like a gentle old master.

Thank you, sister‑in‑law!

Xu Mo Bai ran out excitedly to share the news with her family! Her sister‑in‑law is really wonderful! She doesn't even mind if things get messed up!

Ye Ruotian only wanted the wedding to proceed normally; for any issues reported by other departments, she would use a backup plan if she could think of one, otherwise she'd cut it outright. The whole wedding turned out vastly different from what she imagined!

But she really did get married!

Holding the bouquet, Ye Ruotian happily tossed it backward.

Mine!

Mine!

Give it to me!

A group of people giggled and scrambled for the wedding bouquet. Everyone knew each other, play‑fighting, making the ceremony especially harmonious.

Elder uncle, should we handle the next tasks?

I don't think it's necessary!

This matter is a Ye family affair. Why would the Xu family have any reason to go take a look? What are they doing there?

Alright!

Su Yu is still very curious!

The very curious Su Yu was still taken back to the Su Family. Perhaps Su Xi's conscience kicked in, or maybe because the banquet was exhausting, Su Xi didn't schedule any lessons for her.

Su Yu, having eaten and drunk her fill, strolled in the garden and asked Wulongcha, "What's up with that horse? Did the Ye family's second uncle and aunt really cause this?"

【Both yes and no. The Ye family's second uncle and aunt colluded with the Ye family patriarch's illegitimate child, aiming to set things right!】

【??? Are they biological children?】

【They are biological, just that the profit is gone!】

When there's profit, they'll cooperate together! When there's none, they'll eliminate everything!

Su Yu instantly lost interest in this gossip. From then on she spent each day slacking off under the teacher's watch. With a system to help, she grew increasingly relaxed under the teacher's guidance, occasionally letting her mind drift to idle fishing!

It wasn't until July, when school was on break and the weather sweltered, that Ji Yan and the others wanted to take the children for a summer retreat.

I think staying at home is also quite good!

Su Yu didn't want to leave! She knew that no matter where she was, she would have to study later, and she would rather stay here.

【If I went somewhere else, Wulongcha would have to run back and forth, how exhausting! I still can't notify my uncle right away!】

This reason obviously cannot convince Ji Yan.

Dear, Mom wants you to go with Mom!

Ji Yan is somewhat obsessed with this kind of thing. She had been so good to that child before, so she wants to be even better to Su Yu, to compensate the innocent Su Yu who suffered. But she is very sensible; what Ji Yan can think of is just letting Su Yu also enjoy a life living in a comfortable temperature whether it's cold or hot!

Su Yu knew this reason couldn't convince Ji Yan, so she found another reason.

Mom, my residential area has already been renovated, and afterwards I still need to help out here!

The residential area has been renovated, but it hasn't been opened.

This is the update for number 12~

Dear ones, good night~
