When the box was opened, she was so dazzled that she could hardly open her eyes - the box was covered with red silk, on which was neatly stacked a set of twelve gold hairpins of various styles.
There are ones that look like butterflies spreading their wings, ones that look like auspicious clouds, and ones that look like peony filigree. There are twelve in a set, and each one is dazzlingly golden. The wings of the butterfly hairpin are even trembling slightly, and the eyes of the butterfly on it are inlaid with two rubies, which is magnificent.
Even Mrs. Wang, the wife of the Minister, couldn't help but take a deep breath when she saw the gift. I'm afraid there is no woman who would not be tempted by such a gift.
She reacted and quickly refused: "This is too expensive, how can she afford it?"
"I deserve it!" Old Madam Su was in a good mood, and she looked at Madam Wang with kindness and gentleness: "Fenfen is a good child, and she will definitely have a smooth life. This is a small gift from me as a grandmother, so you just accept it. It is a gift from an elder, and I dare not refuse it."
Mrs. Su gave it sincerely, and Mrs. Wang stood up to take the box and thanked her sincerely: "Let everyone come to kowtow to you when the time comes."
Just as they were enjoying themselves, Huang Ma's voice came from outside: "Madam, the eldest young master is back."
Mrs. Su immediately said, "Let him come in and greet the elders."
As they were talking, Su Rong was pushed in by He Jian. He first bowed to Old Madam Su and then greeted Madam Wang.
Mrs. Wang smiled at him and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Young Master is in much better spirits. It's really a pleasure to see."
Old Mrs. Su hurriedly told Su Rong about Doctor Shen, her words full of excitement: "When Doctor Shen comes, your leg will be healed!"
Compared to her excitement and anticipation, Su Rong himself did not react much. He still had a warm smile on his face as he thanked Mrs. Wang.
After talking for a while, Mrs. Su originally wanted to keep Mrs. Wang for dinner, but Mrs. Wang said that she had important matters at home and had to hurry back. Mrs. Su had no choice but to give up and let Su Xingyi see Mrs. Wang out personally.
Only Old Madam Su and Su Yao were left in the room, and Su Rong told them about Zhang Jingchan's going to the Tian family to cause trouble.
Old Madam Su paused while drinking her tea and put down the teacup with a calm expression: "This is all her own fault. No one else is to blame."
Such a young girl has such a vicious mind. There is nothing I have done to offend her, but she wants to ruin someone's future and reputation. It is only right that she should be taught a lesson.
Besides, as Su Yao said, wasn't she dreaming of becoming the concubine of Prince Zhuang? Now she had achieved her wish, even though it was in such an ignominious way, but since she really liked him, she should be happy.
Su Rong frowned and looked at Su Yao worriedly.
He didn't think Su Yao had gone too far. After all, how could one repay kindness with evil
But Tian Rui is a proud lady from a noble family. Even if you don't offend her, she will step on you. If you offend her, she might do something bad.
He was worried about Su Yao's safety.
His brows were furrowed, and Su Yao knew what he was worried about, and couldn't help but smile: "Brother, don't worry about me, I know what to do, she doesn't have time to come out and mess around recently."
Su Rong understood after thinking about it.
That's right. This matter is enough to make the Tian family make a fuss. Even if Tian Rui hates Su Yao in her heart, the Tian family will not allow her to make trouble at this juncture.
"Even so, you still have to be careful." Su Rong looked at her, and seeing that she was so happy, he didn't want to say anything more. This little girl's mind was clear enough, she knew everything she should know, and there was no need to put any more burden on her.
As long as he is there, he will protect them.
Even if it means being torn to pieces.
As Old Mrs. Su watched the brother and sister getting along harmoniously and supporting each other, her eyes gradually became red. In fact, this was the kind of life she had been longing for throughout her life.
In the past, she was surrounded by powerful enemies and could only pretend to be disheartened and take refuge in a Buddhist temple in order to save the crumbling Su family. It's ridiculous that Master Su San thought that this title was a good thing.
Only now did she dare to really think about the title - if Su Rong's leg could really be cured, and the previous case in the enclosure could be solved, then it would be time for the title to be returned.
She let out a soft sigh, tossed and turned for a while, and unknowingly closed her eyes in tiredness, leaning on the pillow and dozing off.
Su Rong winked at Su Yao, called Yu Xia in to wait on him, and went out with Su Yao. Through the eaves, they could see the fiery clouds in the sky. Su Rong was silent for a moment, then turned around and said to Su Yao, "I'll go to the Shen's house with you the day after tomorrow."
ah
Su Yao didn't react for a moment and looked at Su Rong in surprise.
It was rare to see her like this, so Su Rong couldn't help but smile: "You little girl, wherever you go, there will be trouble. This time, I'll follow you in person, but I'll have to bother my uncle and aunt."
He was not afraid that she would cause trouble, he clearly wanted to protect her, and because she was close to the Shen family, he wanted to go and celebrate Mrs. Shen's birthday.
Su Yao's heart was filled with joy.
Because of Su An's preference for Su Ruyi, she kept telling herself that she didn't need this kind of protection, she didn't need a so-called brother, but in fact, she didn't want it simply because she couldn't get it.
She agreed happily.
After Su Rong left, Yan Cao came out of the wing room and saw that Su Yao was in a very good mood. She couldn't help but asked with a smile: "What did the young master say to you that made you so happy?"
Su Yao smiled but did not answer, he just told Yan Cao not to forget to go to Jiudingzhai to keep an eye on the wedding cakes.
Yan Cao smiled and said, "I know you are concerned about this. Don't worry, I'm watching everything. Nothing will go wrong." She then told Su Yao that Ruan Xiaojiu had arrived and was waiting to see her in the hall outside.
Su Yao walked out without stopping, and said "hmm". When she arrived at the conference room, she saw Ruan Xiaojiu waiting in the corridor. When he saw her coming, he hurriedly came forward to greet her.
Su Yao waved his hand and went into the hall with him.
Ruan Xiaojiu immediately told Su Yao in detail what happened in front of the Tian family's door. At the end, he said, "Master Tian Er took the Zhang family father and daughter back home. He told the onlookers that Zhang Jingchan was sick and confused, and what he said was nonsense."
This kind of rhetoric is not enough to fool the common people, let alone the noble neighbors living nearby.
Seeing Su Yao was silent, he hurriedly said, "Miss, you didn't see what Miss Tian did at that time. She was so angry that she even started to fight and slapped Miss Zhang hard... There were many people on the street at that time, and they all saw it clearly..."
