The Junior Martial Sister Has a Spatial System
Chapter 16: Just Call Su Yue
Chapter 16
"Miss, please speak directly, please... not..." Su Li was red-eyed as well. For so many years, every flicker of hope had ultimately ended in disappointment, time and time again. These past two years, any news about his little sister, he dared not tell his parents, truly afraid of distressing them.
Su Yue remained silent, directly taking out the crescent-shaped jade pendant from beneath her neck and handing it to Su Huan, "This is the jade pendant my mother left me when I was born."
Seeing that familiar jade pendant, Su Huan nearly lost his footing, immediately supported by Su Li, who took the jade pendant from Su Yue and gave it to his father, his hands too trembling slightly.
"I think I should call you great-grandfather," Su Yue said, then kneeling before Su Huan and kowtowing three times heavily.
"Little Five..." Xuan Little Four wanted to step forward but was held back by Xuan Little Three, gestured to stop.
Su Li, Su Yu, Su Yu, and Su Qian were also watching her but remained silent.
Su Huan stared at the jade pendant, his expression changing several times. After a long while, he finally raised his head to look at Su Yue, "No wonder you seemed familiar the first time I saw you, the eyes, eyebrows, nose and mouth are just like that person's..." As he spoke, his eyes reddened again. "Get up, child, let great-grandfather take a look."
"Grandfather, after so many years, we should be cautious, after all these years..."
"Yes, grandfather, just a jade pendant doesn't prove anything, people can look alike, let alone a jade pendant."
"We're not doubting Miss Little Five, it's just too sudden indeed."
"You three, shut up, it's not your place to interrupt when your grandfather is speaking." Although Su Li harbored doubts too, he did not stop his father. Despite being misled and deceived many times over the years, looking at this girl so similar to his little sister, with faint resemblances to that person, he gained some trust.
Su Huan ignored them, helping Su Yue up, "Child, tell great-grandfather, how have you lived these years, why didn't you come find us, your mother... where is your mother?"
"Mother passed away 13 years ago after giving birth to me, I was adopted by my master, Mother's... Mother's grave is on White Cloud Mountain."
No sooner were the words out than, "Grandfather! Father!" Su Huan fell back, Su Yue immediately went to take his pulse, then took out a Heart Protecting Pill for him to swallow, then continued massaging his chest to help him breathe.
As everyone panicked, Su Huan slowly opened his clouded eyes, gazing at everyone before fixing his gaze on Su Yue, reaching out his hand which Su Yue quickly grasped, "Thirteen years ago she... left?"
"Yes."
"I see, so many years, if nothing happened she should have returned long ago, my Yun'er." Su Huan's tears streamed down.
Su Jinyun was the youngest daughter of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, the general's wife bore three sons before finally having a daughter, doted on by everyone as a treasure. Spoiled for over a decade, living unrestrained for over a decade, yet because she fell in love with that person, she ended up confined within palace walls, ultimately meeting her current fate.
"This jade pendant is divided into two halves of yin and yang, one half in the palace, one half given to your mother, but once your mother threw a tantrum and threw this half, leaving a small dent, unnoticeable unless looked at carefully." Su Huan pointed to the end of the jade pendant.
The other members of the Su family remained silent, Su Huan looked at Su Yue, "The girl must have a birthmark, right?"
"Yes, she has a uh... uh..." Before he could finish, his mouth was covered by Xuan Little Three.
Xuan Little Three: What nonsense is this fool spouting, Little Five is already a grown woman, who are you to talk about birthmarks?
Xuan Little Four: But I know, I've even bathed Little Five before, I know what's up!
"I have a faint reddish butterfly-shaped birthmark on my right shoulder."
"Hahaha, then there's no mistake, you're a child of the Su family, Yun'er's child." Su Huan calmed down, looking at Su Yue tenderly, "Strange how great-grandfather knew? I heard it from your great-grandmother, the women in their family are likely to have this birthmark, your great-grandmother has it, your great-great-grandmother had it, so your mother likely had it too, thus I guessed you would probably have it."
"Ah, heheh, heheh, then you really are my cousin." Su Qian was the first to respond.
"Sister, earlier we didn't mean to doubt you, it's just that these years there have been too many... I hope you understand." Su Yu apologized.
"Yes, sister. We didn't mean to not believe you."
"I understand, I won't take it to heart."
"Good, girl, how wonderful, we'll take you back to the capital, back to see your great-grandmother, your great-grandmother will be so delighted." Su Li said happily.
"But what do we call this 'girl, girl'? Do we know her name?"
"Xuan Little Five, my junior sister is called Xuan Little Five, I'm Xuan Little Four, my third senior brother is Xuan Little Three, those are the names our master gave us." Xuan Little Four said proudly.
Su Yue: ......
Xuan Little Three: ......
Everyone: ......
"Ahem, the names Master Xuan gave are naturally good. But this Little Five, we must still have her recognize her ancestry, this name we must give her a new one." Su Huan began pondering what name to give his precious great-granddaughter.
"Just call her Su Yue, I like that name."
"Su Yue, Su..." Su Huan's eyes reddened again, truly at his age, the slightest thing could make his emotions fluctuate, "Su Yue is good, surname Su is good, we'll call her Yue'er."
"Father, I'm afraid that's improper, if the imperial court..."
"What's improper about it, I think it's wonderful, her name is Su Yue, anyone has objections, come find me."
Su Yue's eyes darkened slightly, heh, a man who couldn't even protect his own wife and child, whether a casual father like this is good or not.
Su Li: You're formidable, Father, you're contending with the Emperor for his concubine, the Emperor can't do anything to you as his father-in-law, but you still have three other sons...
"Yue'er, quickly tell great-grandfather about your life all these years."
"If you want to ask about that, I'd know, I've been with Little Five every day, I know everything about her life, General, where would you like me to start, should I start from when Great White brought Little Five here?" Xuan Little Four was quite enthusiastic.
Xuan Little Three: You fool, your own junior sister is about to be taken away, and you're still so gleeful, hmph, you'll get yours later.
Su Huan was immediately intrigued by Xuan Little Four's words, "What Great White, wasn't Little Five adopted by Master Xuan?"
"Yes, but the first one to discover Little Five was Great White, Great White is a wolf, vicious too, the wolf king, it was the first to find Little Five, then brought her to White Cloud Temple..."
Everyone was drawn in by Xuan Little Four's words, listening attentively, only Xuan Little Three rolling his eyes to the heavens once more.
This reaction was noticed by Su Yu, who found it somewhat amusing, in the future his precious junior sister would be his cousin, he had often heard Xuan Little Three go on about how capable his junior sister was, now he felt a slight sense of pride.
