Miss Su's eldest sister-in-law's maiden name was Liu. Since it was not her first birthday, Liu did not hold a big celebration. She only invited her close friends and a few female relatives with whom she had social contacts.
She asked someone to send an invitation to the Shen Mansion. In fact, she didn't expect the sister-in-law to come, but just wanted to let her know that no matter what, her family was always thinking about her.
Therefore, when the servants around her reported with strange looks that the aunt had come, Liu subconsciously asked back, "Which aunt?"
"She is the aunt from our family who married into the Shen family." The maid whispered. Because Liu's daughters were also married, if they returned home, the servants would call them aunt. Su Yi was one generation older than them.
Liu stood up and grabbed the maid's wrist, saying in an urgent tone, "Please come in!" As soon as she finished speaking, she was worried, "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
"It must be the old lady. Qinglian is waiting beside her."
The other women were listening to the opera and had not noticed anything happening here. Liu apologized and hurried to the outer hall, asking as she walked: "Where is the master?"
"It is said that a group of beautiful birds have come to the rare bird garden, and the master has gone out early in the morning."
"It's already this late, and he still has the mind to play with birds. Send someone to call him back quickly!" Liu frowned.
To outsiders, her husband is good in every way. He is as handsome as Pan An and was a handsome man that all the girls in the capital city competed to pursue when he was young. Even now that he is over 40, the new maids in the family still blush when they see him. In this respect, he is really like his sister.
He had a title, and although his family's financial situation was not as good as before, it was better than what the rich had, but more than enough than what the poor had. What's more important was that most good-looking people didn't care about other people's appearance. Liu's appearance was average, and she could only be described as pretty and pretty. But over the years, Master Su had never looked at any other woman. He just stayed with his wife and had two sons and two daughters.
In other official families, which one doesn’t have a concubine on the left and a maid on the right
Because of this, not to mention other ladies, even her own family members envied Liu's good fortune.
Liu often told herself that she should be satisfied. If she was too unsatisfied, she would be punished by God.
But life is like drinking water, only you know whether it is hot or cold.
Mr. Su was not interested in official career or beauties, but instead loved the things of dandies, such as listening to operas, drinking tea, walking birds and fighting cocks. Except for going to red-light districts, he could be found in all places of fun in the capital. Sometimes he was away from home for several days at a time, and all the affairs of the mansion, big and small, were handled by Liu.
Whenever she heard those ladies talk about how their masters had been promoted, what rewards they had received from the palace, and how their children were doing so well, Liu could not help but sometimes wonder: if she had married a husband who was willing to make progress, how would her life be better than it is now
She thought all the way as she walked quickly outside. From afar, she saw a graceful figure standing in the corridor beside the hanging flower gate, looking up at the peach blossoms on the branches. Her posture and expression made her look as if she was still a bright and beautiful girl in her teens.
Su Yi heard the noise, turned her head and smiled: "Hello, sister-in-law."
Liu was in a trance.
The two aunts and the sister-in-law hadn't seen each other for nearly ten years. Liu held Su Yi's hand tightly, her eyes red. She couldn't say anything except "I'm glad you're back."
"Where are the brothers and nephews?" Sue asked.
Liu then said, "Your brother is out for something. I have sent someone to invite him. He didn't know you were coming, otherwise he would have been waiting for you at home. Your two useless nephews have gone to the academy. When they come back, I will ask them to kowtow to you."
Both of Liu's daughters are married and are now with their husbands in office, not in Beijing. The two sons are also about to reach the age of getting married. Today is Liu's birthday, and she specially invited some ladies with daughters at home. Everyone knows it.
Su Yi smiled and said, "Then I have to prepare the gift for meeting you."
Seeing her smile, Liu also smiled.
She was so excited just now that she didn't pay attention. Now that she calmed down, she found that the appearance of this sister-in-law has not aged at all. Compared with the slightly immature appearance more than ten years ago, she is now like a fully bloomed peony, bright and gorgeous, more charming than before. Even she couldn't help but be moved when she saw her. What would she do if it was someone else
She took Su Yi back to the backyard. When the women saw her coming back, they joked, "Who is worthy of you going out to meet him and leaving all of us here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Su Yi. For a moment, except for the humming sound on the stage, there was no sound in the hall. People who were drinking tea, talking, and listening to the opera all stopped what they were doing. Some even subconsciously held their breath and stared at Su Yi blankly.
It was not until there was a noise from somewhere that suppressed exclamations were heard one after another.
The ladies present were all of considerable age and had all seen Miss Su before, but she had stayed indoors for so many years that everyone had almost forgotten about her existence. Suddenly she stood before them, still as beautiful and stunning as she was ten years ago. How could they not be amazed and shocked
"This, this is..."
Liu had anticipated everyone's reaction and just pretended not to know anything unusual. She smiled and said, "This is our aunt. Have you forgotten?"
Everyone present was not stupid. After hearing her say that, they suppressed their surprise and praised her one after another: "Your aunt's appearance is something you will never forget once you see it!"
Liu turned to Su Yi and said, "You haven't been out and about for these years, so you don't recognize many people. Come, let me introduce you to someone."
With a smile on his face, Su Yi followed Liu and greeted the ladies.
Although everyone was extremely curious about Sui Yi, no one mentioned it to her face. After the excitement, everyone sat down again and listened to the opera again, but no one was interested in the play.
Su Yi is an exception. When she came to this world, she realized how boring life was without TV to kill time. Although she could still drink tea and appreciate the flowers, it would be boring to do so every day. Now, looking at those little actors, she became a little interested.
If there are no soap operas to watch, you can just make do with dramas about talented men and beautiful women.
Not long after, a servant came to report that Master Su had returned, and the guests tactfully stood up and said goodbye.
As soon as I left the Su Mansion, someone asked the maid nearby to find out if there was any news from the Shen family recently. How come their Second Lady, who had locked herself up for ten years, suddenly came out
Some people touched their faces and couldn't help thinking that God was really unfair. It would have been fine if he just gave people such a face, but he made them keep their beauty forever and even make them more beautiful, making people like them look like old fools.
It's just that such a beautiful person has a tragic life. Thinking of this makes people feel a little more balanced.
Su Yi had seen Mr. Su in Miss Su's memory before. He was indeed a rare handsome man. When she met him, she found that he was indeed so. With that appearance and temperament, he could charm everyone in any era.
But the handsome middle-aged man with outstanding temperament burst into tears when he saw her, crying and cursing at the same time. Sometimes he cried about his poor sister's miserable life, sometimes he cursed the treacherous Sun family for being full of grandsons, and sometimes he cursed the Shen family for being turtles and bastards, with tears and snot flowing together.
Su Yi was surprised at first, but then watched the whole process with a blank expression.
Only Liu had a good temper. She handed him a handkerchief, patted his back, and asked someone to bring him water to wash his face, just like she was her own son.
Su Yi couldn't help but ask Mao Tuan: "Why did the Su family fall apart?"
Looking at Master Su like this, he doesn't look like someone who would commit a capital crime. He is simply a rich kid who never grew up. When he was young, he was spoiled by his parents. When he got married, he was spoiled by his wife. When he is old, he will probably have children and grandchildren to support him.
Isn't this the ultimate life of a parasite that Su Yi pursued? For so long, she hadn't achieved this lofty goal, but she did it easily.
She is a little sour.
Mao Tuan flipped through the plot and said, "It's not mentioned directly, but it looks like your two nephews are involved in the struggle for the royal succession."
"Aren't they just teenagers?" Su Yi was even more surprised.
The emperor who is currently in power is in his fifties and still in his prime. Several of his princes are not young anymore. As the empress has no children and the emperor has no intention of appointing a crown prince, the maternal families behind those princes are bound to become restless.
But the Su family had long been excluded from the center of power, and now there was no one in the family with a real job. To say that they were involved in the struggle for the royal succession was really a compliment.
Mao Tuan said: "It's not clear yet. Let me track them for a few days and see what happens."
"Thank you for your hard work, son. Your future depends on you." Su Yi praised quickly.
Mao Tuantuan had a wooden face and didn't seem to want to pay attention to her.
"Yi Yi, did that bastard Shen Er bully you again? Don't worry, wait for your brother to find some people to put him in a sack and beat him up to let you vent your anger." Master Su washed his face, which was whiter than that of a girl, with a red nose and eyes. He patted his chest and promised Su Yi.
Judging from his tone, he had put a sack on someone and beaten them before.
Not to mention, he really looks like someone who could do such a thing.
Liu said hurriedly, "You can just think about this nonsense yourself, but you still say it out loud to pollute my sister-in-law's ears."
"What's so dirty about it? I didn't say a single dirty word." Master Su was not convinced. He hung out outside every day and was tainted by the smell of the market. "That bastard, why doesn't he take a piss to look at himself? He looks like a pig. He married my beautiful sister and still dared to flirt with other women. In my opinion, he should have his legs broken!"
"Alright, alright," Liu frowned and stopped him, "You're getting more and more ridiculous. How dare you say such things in front of the ladies?"
Actually, Su Yi found it quite interesting.
When Master Su was silent, his whole demeanor and handsome appearance were really intimidating. But when he opened his mouth, it was like a swan opening its mouth and making a hoarse sound. The word "vulgar" was not enough to describe him. The contrast was so great that it was truly jaw-dropping.
Seeing Liu frowning, Master Su finally calmed down a bit, but he still muttered: "What's there to be embarrassed about? I didn't directly say his balls..."
Su Yi lowered her head and drank a sip of tea, pretending not to hear, to avoid embarrassing Liu. After adjusting her facial expression, she raised her head and frowned slightly, blaming herself and regretting, "My sister is ignorant. Over the years, I have made my brother and sister-in-law sad."
Master Su immediately said, "Yi Yi, you are right. It's all the fault of that grandson surnamed Sun and that bastard surnamed Shen."
Liu secretly pulled his sleeves, feeling helpless. Everyone knew that her sister-in-law was hurt by those two unfaithful men, and this man kept calling them grandsons and bastards. He seemed to enjoy cursing them, but wasn't he hitting her sister-in-law's sore spot
So, these men, each of them has a heart as thick as a water tank.
In the past few years, Miss Su has not been in contact with anyone. Liu is worried and anxious. Sometimes she would complain, as she can't stand the fact that she has abandoned her parents' home for a man. Has her family raised her for so many years in vain
But now that she was sitting in front of him, it seemed like she had finally come to her senses. Liu was happy for her, "We are all family, it would be awkward to say these things. As long as you are well, the master and I will be at ease."
"Yes," Su Yi smiled and said, "I had a dream a few days ago. I don't remember what I dreamed about. When I woke up, I looked out the window at the peach blossoms, the grass and the birds flying, and the bright sunshine. I couldn't help but think, I still have a long life ahead of me. Do I really have to endure it like this? I also thought of my brother and sister-in-law. I haven't seen them for many years. I wonder if you are all okay? I just feel ashamed and I really don't have the face to see you, so I have delayed it until today."
These words made Mr. Su start to sniff again, and also cleared up Liu's confusion. She had been wondering why her sister-in-law suddenly figured it out, and she thought that she must have had some sudden realization in her dream.
But there were still some things she didn't ask. Now that she had figured it out, what was she going to do in the future? Should she continue to be the second wife in the mansion, or... divorce
Su Yi did not stay in the Su Mansion for too long. She talked about the relationship between brother and sister, and soon got up to say goodbye.
Mr. Su yelled at her to stay and never go back to the Shen family's place, but Liu escorted her all the way to the sedan chair.
After returning, Master Su sat in the hall and asked unhappily, "Why didn't you leave Yi Yi behind?"
Liu looked at him and said unhappily, "It's easy for the master to say that. I would like to ask, what is the reason for my sister-in-law to stay? If someone from the Shen Mansion comes to pick her up someday, should we let them take her away?"
"Why should we let them take her away? My sister will never go back to their house again!" Mr. Su said angrily.
"Well said." Liu agreed, and then changed her tone, "But as long as my sister-in-law is a wife of the Shen family, there is no reason for her not to return home, unless she divorces Master Gu. But Master, think about it, does our family still have the confidence to ask for a divorce? Master Gu has had a good career in the past two years and has a bright future. What do we have? If he writes a divorce letter to my sister-in-law on the grounds that she has not had any children for many years, what else can Master do except put her in a sack and beat her up?"
These words left Mr. Su speechless, and he leaned back in his chair in a daze.
Su Yi still went back in the sedan chair. The swaying feeling reminded her of the team of cavalry she met on the road when she came here earlier. She seemed to have heard Qinglian say that the leader was King Rui
So, the Demon Wolf is now a prince? That's pretty impressive.
"Mao Tuan Tuan, tell me about the situation of King Rui."
Maotuan had expected her to ask, and although he was reluctant to admit it, he had to admit that the big devil's intuition about that big furry guy was quite accurate, and the other party was indeed the current King Rui.
The emperor's current sons have not yet been crowned kings, and Prince Rui is the posthumous son of the emperor's younger brother.
When the old Prince Rui died in the battlefield, the princess heard the bad news and had a miscarriage. She went into labor before the full term and couldn't give birth for a whole day and a night. Seeing that she was about to die, a secret order was sent from the palace to have the princess's belly cut open, thus leaving a bloodline of the old Prince Rui.
After the child was born, the emperor treated him as his own son and brought him up to his side. He made him a king when he was just one year old.
A sorcerer once said that King Rui had killed his father and mother before he was born, and that he was the reincarnation of an evil star. He had few relatives, and would become a killer when he grew up. He would not have a good end because of the heavy killing he had done.
The emperor did not believe it at all. The old Prince Rui was killed by the enemy country, and he ordered someone to cut open the princess' belly. How could he say that a young child was unlucky for both his parents
But the sorcerer was right about one thing. King Rui showed his extraordinary ability when he was young. When he was fourteen or fifteen, he could fight for the dynasty in the north and south and kill all invaders. When he was eighteen, he flattened the small country that attacked his father. When he was in his twenties, his cavalry had already traveled through every inch of the territory. Now he has become the most powerful killer and the sharpest knife in the emperor's hand.
And another statement made by the sorcerer at that time actually came true. Not long ago, King Rui went south to suppress bandits. He inhaled miasma in the deep mountains and dense forests, and was bitten by poisonous insects. His whole body was festering and there was no cure. If the magic wolf had not possessed him, his death would have been a bad one.
After listening to this, Su Yi nodded slowly.
Speaking of which, although the Demon Wolf has lost his memories, he is still quite good at choosing. So many people die every day, but he manages to pick those with good backgrounds.
After returning to the Shen Mansion, Su Yi still did not get off the sedan chair and went straight into her own courtyard.
Qingxing was looking after the house alone and had long been impatient. When she saw them come back, she immediately came up to them and asked them all kinds of questions. One moment she asked if those people were shocked when they saw the girls, and the next she asked if the girls' clothes were the most beautiful. She kept asking questions non-stop.
Only after Qinglian patiently told her everything did she feel satisfied.
"Did anything happen to you at home?" Qinglian asked.
Qingxing helped Su Yi take off her cloak, curled her lips and said, "People from the first and third rooms came to ask where our girl has gone. Only the people from the second room didn't come."
Qinglian took the tea from the maid and handed it to Su Yi: "How do you answer?"
"Tell the truth. Our daughter has returned to her parents' home. However, although no one from the second house came to ask, I saw a few people standing stealthily in the small garden. They must be the concubines' people."
Qinglian glanced at Su Yi and saw that she was just drinking tea and not paying attention to these things, so she said to Qingxing: "Don't talk about those people. After all, they are the concubines of the Second Master, which means they are half the master. When we meet them, we have to be respectful in our words and not let people find fault with our young lady."
Qing Xing was even more disdainful, "What kind of masters are they in front of the girl?"
Qinglian shook her head helplessly, "You can't say this outside."
"I know, I know." Qingxing said.
Su Yi finished her tea, ate two snacks, and leaned back in her chair comfortably. Thinking of the opera she had heard today, she felt itchy in her heart, "Qinglian, let's find a troupe to perform."
Qinglian wanted to sigh. Ever since the girl came to her senses, she has become more energetic and lively day by day. She has always been able to come up with new ideas. For example, a few days ago, she heard someone selling fried fish in the back alley, and she asked her maid to buy some for her to eat.
Qinglian was not in the yard at that time. When she came back and saw it, she was shocked. The things outside were dirty and the little fish was pitch black. What should she do if she got a stomachache
But the girl didn't dislike it at all. She bought a big bag and asked all the maids and old women in the yard to eat some. Later, Qinglian also ate a few of them under their half-enticement and half-forcement. The taste... was quite good, but that kind of food was not presentable. It was only eaten by children from poor families who had nothing to eat. How could the girls, whose bodies were precious, eat it
But Qinglian alone could not stop anything. Once this happened, it would happen again. Now the little maids would prick up their ears every day to listen to the noises in the back alley. As soon as they found something to eat, they would immediately run to report to the young lady, and then run to buy it with the change of silver and copper coins.
This made the cook worried. She wondered if her cooking skills had declined and the girl no longer liked the food, so she started eating miscellaneous food outside
Fortunately, the girl ate so much that her appetite for the main meal didn’t decrease.
When Su Yi said she wanted to listen to an opera, Qing Lian said, "There are many people in the opera troupe, and our yard is not big. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to invite them in. Even if we buy a few little actors, there won't be enough room for them."
"All right, all right," said Sue, "please don't come in, let's go out and look, there must be some place we can look, right?"
She went out on the street today and found that women were not very restricted in this era. There were many young girls on the street. Only some who were obviously from wealthy families covered their faces with veils. Ordinary girls or married women walked around freely and did not behave abnormally.
Qinglian could see that she really felt bored and wanted to have some fun. Worried that stopping her would ruin her good mood, she had to say, "Yes, yes, listen to stories in the teahouse and watch plays in the theater, but you have to promise me that you can only sit in the private room and not squeeze in the lobby with others."
"All your request is accepted." Su Yi said readily. The private room sounded much more upscale than the lobby, so she had no objection.
While she was happy, Qinglian took out a stack of account books, placed them on the coffee table, and said, "Since the young lady has decided to go out, some personal connections will be inevitable in the future. Here are the accounts of our dealings with other families in the early years, as well as the young lady's private library. Please take a look first and familiarize yourself with them, so as to avoid being in a hurry in the future."
Su Yi looked at the pile of account books in front of him, and the smile he had just revealed faded.
She knew that there was no free lunch in the world. Even if there was, it was called advance consumption, and not only did she have to pay back the money afterwards, but she also had to pay interest.
Last time, Su Yi was admiring the flowers in the garden. Afterwards, several concubines from the second house worked together to keep the matter secret from the head of the second house. But today, Su Yi went back to her parents' home in a swagger, and no matter how powerful those people were, they could not hide it anymore.
At night, Su Yi was still looking at the account book under the lamp. Qing Xing came in from outside, with a confused look on her face, and she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
"What's wrong? Do you have a stomachache?" Su Yi asked casually.
Qing Xing stammered, "I just saw the Second Master outside the yard."
Su Yi tilted her head and remembered that the so-called Second Master was a husband of this status.
In fact, if we look at it from the perspective of this era, Mr. Shen is not a scumbag at all. After all, as a man, who doesn't have a confidante on the left and a beautiful woman on the right? As for the promises he made, it can be explained away by saying that he was young and impulsive.
Instead, Miss Su's behavior was criticized. She was accused of being jealous, spoiled, intolerant, and unable to have children. With each criticism, her reputation was not good at all.
Regardless of the era, women are treated more harshly than men. Some women even become accomplices of men, and in turn point fingers at women in an attempt to gain the approval of those men.
"Miss, do you want to invite the Second Master in?" Qinglian asked tentatively.
Su Yi waved her hand, she was busy and had no time to meet unimportant people.
She was too lazy to comment on the right and wrong between Mr. Shen and the original owner. One of them cheated on her not long after getting married, and the other got married just to be angry. Neither of them was sincere, but the male one was more justified in being a scumbag.
If the other party doesn't provoke her, and she finishes solving the Su family's problems, everyone will divorce happily and pursue a good life, and everyone will be happy.
If someone had to find fault with her or intended to have sex with her, Su Yi felt that she really didn't mind being a widow.
She found that she had been in the demon world for a while, and was used to fighting and killing, and had acquired some bad habits, becoming a widow all the time. This was not good. Su Yi reflected deeply and felt that she could actually do as Master Su said today. If Shen Er had bad intentions, then she should break all his legs.
Looking at her gestures, Qinglian knew what she meant. She went downstairs and told the old woman guarding the gate to go about her business as usual.
The second master of the Shen family stood in the pavilion of the small garden, looking at the small courtyard with lights in front of him, silent.
That night, there were countless people in the second house, who could not sleep all night because their second master stood in front of the yard until midnight, feeling angry and jealous.
Many people from the other two houses were waiting to see the show. Over the years, they had seen that the Second Master was a romantic man. Look at his concubines. Do they all resemble him
Tsk tsk, they dare not touch the original owner, but instead find some fakes. If those arrogant fakes find out their true status one day, how lively the show will be
Su Yi slept well that night. The next day, she handed in her homework to Qinglian with the account book and looked at her eagerly.
Qinglian felt amused and said, "I asked someone to book a private room early in the morning. The theater hasn't booked one yet. How about going to the teahouse today?"
Su Yi nodded repeatedly, then remembered something and said, "I'm not going out for fun. Don't we have two shops? Let's go take a look today and listen to some books while we're at it."
"Yes, yes, you are the most diligent." Qinglian agreed with a smile.
Su Yi changed into clothes for going out, and Qinglian put a veil on her for fear that they would be too eye-catching.
Although only her hands were exposed on her body, her slim figure still attracted a lot of attention when she approached the teahouse.
It is said that beauty lies in bones, not in skin. Some people are fascinating just by looking at their figure.
Su Yi was sitting in a private room, listening to a book with great interest, when suddenly she heard someone mention her name. She paid attention and realized that it was from the private room next door.
In fact, the other party's voice was not loud, and if she had not had extraordinary hearing, she might not have noticed it. She listened to a few sentences and found that one of the other party seemed to be a guest at the Su Mansion yesterday.
"… I'm telling you the truth. You weren't there at the time. When the old lady from the Su Mansion showed up, everyone was stunned. I pestered my mother for a long time yesterday before she was willing to tell me what happened that year."
Then the Sun family broke the contract, Miss Su married into the Shen family, and then she stayed indoors for ten years.
"My mother also found it strange. It's fine if someone is so beautiful, but how come she hasn't aged in more than ten years? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."
Another person said, "Your words are always discounted. I will only believe 70% of them. Even if that aunt, the current second wife of the Shen family, is still outstanding in appearance, I'm afraid she is no longer as famous as she was in the past."
"Oh, why don't you believe it?" The man in front said anxiously, "This time you can't believe it 70%, you have to believe it 100%, 110%! She is really more beautiful than your sister!"
Another voice was obviously unhappy, "My sister is the leader of the four beauties, how can she be easily compared with others?"
"You said she was the leader of the four beauties, right? The one from the Sun family also said she was the leader of the four beauties."
The man snorted, "The light of a firefly dares to compete with the sun and the moon?"
"Okay, stop quibbling. Anyway, when you get the chance, you can see it for yourself and then believe what I say." said the girl in front.
The other party asked: "I heard that the two young masters of the Su family are old enough and are looking for each other. You are not praising their aunt so much because you have feelings for them, right?"
"What are you talking about, you bad girl? I'm going to beat you up!" the girl said angrily.
As they talked, they started playing around in the small private room.
The private rooms on the second floor of the teahouse are actually not completely enclosed spaces. Each room is separated by layers of carved windows and screens. Although the two sides cannot see each other, if there is a lot of noise, it will still have an impact.
When the two girls were playing, they seemed to accidentally bump into the wall on this side, making a loud noise, and the two of them suddenly became quiet.
After a while, a little maid came to apologize, and Qinglian sent her away.
After listening to a passage of the book, Su Yi stood up and left. When she walked out of the private room, the person next door also came out.
She was just about to put on her veil, revealing half of her face. The two little girls, on the other hand, did not cover their faces. They just looked up and froze when they saw her.
One of them recognized Sui Yi, the person they were talking about was standing right in front of him, and he couldn't help feeling frightened and ashamed, while the other one had a look of amazement in his eyes.
Su Yi nodded slightly and left with Qinglian and others.
As soon as she got on the sedan chair, the little maid Chunyan couldn't help but chuckle and said to Qinglian: "Sister Qinglian, did you see that? The expressions of those two girls just now were really interesting."
"Just go on your way with peace of mind." Qinglian said, but there was a smile in his words.
Chunyan could hear that and was not afraid. She continued to laugh and said, "When she said that our girl was no longer famous, I wanted to speak out. Fortunately, I didn't. Otherwise, how could we have seen such an interesting scene just now? That girl also said that her sister was the leader of the four beauties and could not be compared casually. But our girl only showed half of her face, and she was stunned. Tell me, isn't it funny?"
"Okay, the girl didn't say anything, but you dare to be so arrogant. Watch the road carefully. It's okay if you fall, but don't scare the girl."
After hearing this, Chunyan finally calmed down, but she had already made up her mind that she would tell this joke to everyone when she got back.
What Su Yi had not expected was that the girl she saw talking about her in the teahouse was not an isolated case. Because life was boring and there were only those pastimes coming and going, gossip spread very quickly even in this era.
She went back to her parents' home the day before and met the female relatives. With these people as the starting point, the news spread one by one. The next day, many women in the back houses in the capital were talking about her. After another day, some invitations were delivered to her door.
She flipped through the several invitations Qinglian brought. Some invited her to enjoy the flowers, listen to operas, and go out for a spring outing. Although she really wanted to go out, when she thought about how she wasn't very familiar with these people and that she would not only have to socialize but also be subject to gossip, she wasn't very interested.
Just as he was about to put it aside, Mao Tuan suddenly said, "Wait, Yi Yi, take out the Ning Mansion's portion."
"This?" Su Yi searched for it and pulled out the invitation. It didn't look very special. It was the lady of the Ning Mansion who invited her to her house for a chat. The other party should be the original owner's close friend when she was young, but they didn't have much contact later.
Mao Tuan said: "This Lord Ning is a subordinate of King Rui. According to the information I received, he also seems to be inviting King Rui to a banquet that day."
Su Yi was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Mao Tuan Tuan, I see through you. You say no, but you still miss your father very much in your heart. You rack your brains to go see him."
Maotuan was too lazy to complain, nor did he want to argue with the big devil. Who was thinking about the big fluffy hair? If she didn't think about it at all, why would she go to the street for no reason? Did she really like watching plays and listening to books so much? Humph, it was just an excuse.
He, Mao Tuantuan, is the one who sees through everything!
To be honest, it really misunderstood Su Yi. She just wanted to stroll around, see beautiful things, eat delicious food, and feel the atmosphere of this era. Otherwise, this trip would be in vain.
Of course, it would be nice if I could take a look at her magic wolf. If I can't see it, since it has only been a short time since they separated, Su Yi doesn't miss him very much now. When she misses him some other day, she will go for a night attack. The big devil is so unreserved!
She took the invitation and looked at it carefully, then frowned and said, "Even if the couple both held a banquet, it must be Madam Ning in the backyard and Lord Ning in the front. There is no chance for the two sides to meet."
Mao Tuan was furious at his lack of fighting spirit, feeling that he had been worrying himself to death. "I've already told you where he would appear, but you couldn't create opportunities for yourself? Have you watched so many TV dramas in vain? Have you learned any of the tricks used by the heroines to seduce men?"
Su Yi couldn't help but retort: "It's usually the female supporting role who hooks up with others. As long as the female protagonist stands there, the male protagonist will come up to her."
“… Is this the point?”
"Alright, alright," Su Yi soothed Mao Tuan after hearing that he was about to get angry again, "Let's create opportunities for ourselves, go and seduce, go and lure your father back, okay?"
She then muttered, "It was you who reminded me before that I was a married woman, and it's you who's urging me to have an affair. Sigh, these days, kids are so opinionated, and it's really hard for mothers."
“…” Mao Tuantuan.
Su Yi was going to a flower-viewing party, so Qinglian and Qingxing were naturally busy again, dressing her up beautifully for the day.
When we arrived at the Ning Mansion, most of the faces were unfamiliar, only Madam Ning looked familiar.
Lord Ning is a military general with a simple family, so his mansion is not as complicated and luxurious as those of ordinary officials. The overall layout is neat, simple and generous. There is no obvious boundary between the front yard and the back yard, and the garden in the middle is connected.
Su Yi noticed this and secretly raised his eyebrows, "Look, Maotuan, this makes it very convenient for us to commit the crime."
"What do you mean by committing a crime? That sounds so ugly. You are going to have an affair."
Yes, the word "cheat" sounds really nice.
Su Yi was the focus of the banquet. Many people looked at her openly or secretly, but because they had no friendship with her and were a little cautious, they did not take the initiative to greet her. Madam Ning was the host, so she could not greet her alone. Soon, Su Yi was left alone.
"Right now, the target is near the garden!" Maotuan reminded her.
As Su Yi walked over there, he asked, "Why is he running into the garden alone? Is he doing something bad like us?"
Mao Tuan seemed to be stumped by her question. He probed again and then said hesitantly: "Yi Yi, how about we create opportunities for ourselves next time?"
Su Yi was just complaining casually, but Maotuan's words confirmed her complaint.
Su Yi’s first reaction was, what a powerful guy, Gou Zi, he actually dared to do such a bad thing behind her back.
Then I started to think, the other party has no memory now, if she catches him, should she beat him up or not
She followed the guidance of the hair ball and came to the side of a rockery. As soon as she approached, she heard a girl's voice, which was soft and gentle, but sounded really nice.
Su Yi steadied herself and hid her body behind the rockery. She quietly poked her head out and saw two people standing in a hidden place. The one with his back to her was the domineering figure she had seen a few days ago.
In front of him stood a petite girl, looking up at him, her face flushed, eyes shy, and speaking softly. Although it was difficult to hear what she was saying, one could guess from the look that she was probably expressing her feelings.
Well, it was just a one-sided confession. Su Yi felt that she should be more generous and not just rush out like that and leave a psychological trauma on the girl.
Then she felt like she had just blinked her eyes, and suddenly, the little girl who looked like a little white rabbit was grabbed by the neck and lifted up by the domineering King Rui.
It was a real pinch. In just a few breaths, the other person's face turned purple, his tongue stuck out, his eyeballs rolled up, and his legs kicked a few times before gradually drooping down weakly.
He is trying to strangle someone to death!
Before he could react, Sue picked up a stone and threw it over, "Hey!"
King Rui reacted quickly and turned around the moment he heard the sound, but how could the magic wolf, which had no memory, dodge the stone thrown by Sui
He turned around and took another step forward, just in time for the stone that was originally thrown at his back to hit him on the forehead, without even giving him time to blink.
Sui had good eyesight and could see it clearly. His forehead first turned red, and then a small swelling slowly formed.
The other person let go of her hand when he turned around. The girl was now lying on the ground and seemed to have fainted. There were only two people who were conscious present. No one spoke and there was a strange silence.
The wind is blowing, the birds are singing, and there are white clouds in the sky.
Su Yi poked the ball of hair in her heart, "Is it too late for me to seduce your father now?"
The author has something to say: Dear, you know, besides being bad at naming, the author also has difficulty choosing. qaq, I found that all three options have been chosen, and the number of people for 1 and 2 is about the same. There is also a baby who suggested calling them the Great Devil and her dog, so I don’t know how to choose... Forget it, forget it, let’s not change it. Thank you, my friends, mua~ Today is the fourth day of the daily 10,000, I feel I can do it!
