Volume 1: Rebirth Returns Chapter 31: Recognizing Each Other ( Rolling on the Ground and Begging for Mercy!)

  The crowd in the front hall saw Su Rui carrying a white porcelain vase and immediately realized what was inside. Everyone stood up, staring at the white porcelain vase in Su Rui's arms.

  Su Lao was the first to step forward, his hands trembling as he reached for the ceramic vase in Su Rui's arms. However, just as he was about to touch it, he withdrew his hands. He simply gazed deeply at the vase, "This is... your parents'..." This old man, who had once been so calm and composed, now seemed to have lost his usual demeanor. His eyes, looking at Su Rui, were filled with sadness and a hint of desperation.

  Seeing such a grandfather, Su Rui felt a dull pain in her heart. Her eyes were slightly sour. She choked and said: "Yes."

  Su Lao got a definite reply and retreated two steps back. Fortunately, Su Xuan caught him from behind and supported him to the seat.

  Everyone else let out a sigh of relief as they saw Su Xian catch Old Man Su. After all, he was already advanced in age and might not be able to withstand the injury if he fell.

  While Su Xian was comforting the elderly Su, Su Rui placed a white porcelain vase on the table and gently stroked it. Her eyes were filled with sorrow as if they were about to overflow, even Su Xuan, who had a short temper, could sense it.

  Su Xiang felt the sadness from Su Rui, thinking that this was the little uncle who looked very similar to himself, his heart also ached. By his side, Su Yi noticed his emotions and patted him on the back.

  In fact, when the little uncle went missing, Su Xuan was still a little kid and didn't have much impression of Su Ping. However, Su Yun had already started elementary school, and his parents were busy with work, so it was mostly the little uncle who accompanied him. Now that he saw Su Ping's ashes in front of him, he was also very sad, but after years of having a stiff face, he had forgotten how to change his expression. However, his rigid back and clenched fists still revealed his emotions.

  If it weren't for Tao Zexi being distracted and paying attention to Su Yin, he wouldn't have noticed that something was off. He gently patted the hand that Su Yin had clenched into a fist until Su Yin relaxed, then let out a sigh of relief.

  Among the people present, only Ye Haotian was still standing far away in front of the chair. Although he was the farthest from the white urn, his gaze remained fixed on it. In his heart, two of the three most important women had already been lost, and a sense of powerlessness arose as he looked at the little niece who resembled his younger sister, comforting himself that he would replace his sister and take good care of her in the future.

  It seemed like she felt Ye Hua Tian's gaze, Su Rui lifted her head to look at Ye Hua Tian. Seeing the sadness and doting in her uncle's eyes, Su Rui wanted to smile at him, but her eyes turned red instead. Su Rui wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, withdrew her gaze, looked at the white porcelain urn, took a deep breath, and said: "This contains my parents' ashes, I think they also hoped to return to their roots, so I didn't bury them here." Then she took off the jade pendant from around her neck and placed it on the table. "This was given to me by my father when he passed away, telling me to take the jade pendant to find Grandfather in the capital."

  Su Yi and Su Xiang looked at each other after seeing the jade plaque, they also had a jade plaque like this one, with their names engraved on it.

  When Great Uncle Su Xun took out the jade token, his gaze remained fixed on it. Ye Haotian, who was standing beside him, also knew that every legitimate descendant of the Su family had a jade token to prove their identity, and now Su Jing's jade token was still there, but he himself was already gone.

  The Ye family didn't have such a long history, nor did they have so many legacies. His own sister was gone, leaving nothing behind, but fortunately, there was still a niece, which could also comfort the two elderly people at home.

  Xue Ju no longer looked strange, sadly gazing at the white porcelain urn, her left hand placed on it, gently stroking, and gradually her eyes reddened again. Although she looked like a noblewoman, she was also an iron lady. Only those closest to her could make her shed tears. It's clear how much Su Ping weighed in her heart.

  Xu Xian patted Xu Dui's shoulder, knowing that his wife was very concerned about Su Pu. Since her younger brother passed away, she had transferred the feelings she had for her brother to Su Pu, treating him like a real younger brother. When they first got married, he even joked with her that her dream had come true and Su Pu had finally become her legitimate younger brother. Moreover, Su Pu was also his younger brother, so he could understand his wife's feelings.

  Su Rui looked at the two notebooks in her hand and handed them to her uncle and great-uncle separately. "These two are my parents' diaries, over the years they would often recall some things and record them here."

  Su Xuan and Ye Haotian finally found those two somewhat yellowed notebooks, opened the first page, and saw familiar handwriting, feeling a pang of sadness in their hearts.

  Two notebooks recorded the memories of Su Pu and Ye Rongrong over the years, as well as some of Su Rui's growth history. Although the pages have turned yellow, they are well-preserved by their owner, with no missing pages or creases. Moreover, they are wrapped in book covers, suggesting that Su Pu and Ye Rongrong treasured them greatly.

  They didn't open it immediately, Ye Haotian carefully put away the notebook, while Su Xun handed the notebook to Old Su. Old Su also didn't open it, but lightly stroked the cover, as if feeling the temperature left by his youngest son.

  Su Xiang also wanted to see what was written inside, but at this time, there was no such thing as a junior. He could only seek comfort from his elder brother.

  Su Rui saw that everyone's expression was gloomy, and she didn't feel good either. Seeing the dark circles under her grandfather's eyes, she estimated that the old man had seen the letter in the box she gave to her brother yesterday, so he rushed from Beijing to Wucheng overnight and took a bus for several hours to reach Qingmu County. Along the way, he was exhausted from the journey and worried about his relationship with his father, without rest, even though he was still strong and energetic like his uncle and elder brother, let alone his elderly grandfather.

  Su Rui walked to Su Lao's front, "Grandpa, tomorrow I'll take you to the courtyard where my dad and mom used to live. It's too late today..." She was about to say that it's too late so let's rest here for tonight, but found that there were no guest rooms in the quadrangle courtyard. Even if there were, it would be too late to clean up now.

  At this time, Liu Qingyun walked in from outside and happened to hear the last half of his apprentice's sentence. He smiled lightly: "It's so late, just stay overnight." Su Rui seemed to ask her master where she would be staying. Liu Qingyun dispelled her doubts, "A temporary guest room has been prepared, my humble abode is simple, I hope you won't mind."

  Su Rui suddenly understood, the master had just left to collect the guest room, she immediately gave her own master a grateful look. Then said to Su Lao: "Grandfather, you must be tired from the journey, why don't you stay here and rest for a night?"

  Su Lao naturally knew that his granddaughter was worried about him, so under the gaze of his son, daughter-in-law and grandson, he nodded in agreement with Su Rui.
