There was a sand table in the study room for arranging troops. The ink essence was very expensive and Su Li couldn't use it, so Su Qingtan used the sand table to teach her to write.
After this teaching, Su Qingtan was immediately surprised to find that her second sister was extremely intelligent. She could immediately understand simple words after being taught them once, and it only took less than an hour to teach the basic rhymes.
Seeing this, Su Qingtan simply asked Su Li to study by herself according to the basic calligraphy. One of them was looking at the desk, the other was making gestures in front of the sand table, and the study was very quiet. Not only did the rustling sound not disturb Su Qingtan's reading, it actually made him feel more peaceful and improved his efficiency a lot.
For several days, the maid Zhu'er, who had been serving Su Qingtan's daily life, saw that Su Li was running to the eldest young master's study every day. She stamped her feet in anger and snorted:
"How dare you disturb the young master from reading, I will tell the second lady right away!"
After receiving Pearl's words, the second lady couldn't sit still and rushed to the east courtyard immediately.
"Master, the second lady is here to see you."
When the maid outside the house passed the message, Su Li immediately erased the words on the sand tray, drew a big smiling face, and hid the copybook under the sand tray. Su Qingtan secretly praised her, opened the door and saw that it was indeed her mother coming over. She couldn't help but step aside and asked:
"Mom, why are you here?"
"I'll just come and take a look."
Mrs. Su Cui looked at her son fondly, turned around and saw that Su Li was indeed in the study, her face immediately turned cold, "Erya, why are you so ignorant? Your eldest brother is about to recommend you, and you need to concentrate on studying. Since When you feel better, go back to the west courtyard as soon as possible."
Su Li walked over obediently, her big black eyes full of innocence. She bowed gracefully and whispered, "Don't be angry, Erma, Erya will leave now."
Mrs. Su Cui was surprised. She heard from the maid next to her that Erya had a weird temperament and did not understand etiquette. Now it seems that the facts are very different from the rumors.
When Su Qingtan realized that Su Li had disappeared at the door of the study, he couldn't help complaining: "Mom, why did you drive away the second sister? She is very good, and she just plays with the sandbox without talking. The child's reading effect is even better. alright."
When Mrs. Su Cui heard this, her face became serious and she said angrily: "Why, you can't tolerate any sloppiness when you go to the county to practice. Mother did this for your own good. Why are you blaming mother for Erya?"
Su Qingtan quickly waved her hands and apologized: "Mom, you know that I didn't mean this."
Mrs. Su Cui's face looked much better now, and she immediately said: "In the future, I will ask Zhu'er to keep an eye on you. When you are studying, no other people are allowed to come in and disturb you, not even Hao'er. Do you understand? "
"Mom, I know."
Su Qingtan smiled bitterly in her heart. She had just promised her second sister to teach her how to read, and now she was going to break her promise.
"By the way Tan'er, how is Erya's health now?"
Su Cui asked with a concerned look on her face, but if you look carefully at her eyes, you will find that there are all kinds of emotions in them, except concern.
"Mom, the injuries on my second sister's body have been sustained over the years, and they can be healed in a month. Although I can get out of bed now, it will probably take several months to recover."
Speaking of this, Su Qingtan showed a trace of hesitation on his face.
Mrs. Su Cui didn't know what her son was thinking, so she simply said: "Just ask whatever you want to ask. Why are you hesitating here?"
Su Qingtan's face turned slightly red, and then she said seriously: "Mom, I want to ask, do you... know the reason for the injury on the second sister's body?"
Madam Su Cui's heart immediately surged with anger. This Su Erya was not as beautiful as Su Zipei. How could she be so obsessed with her son in just one month? Tan'er actually suspected her because of her? !
For a time, Su Cui's dislike for Su Li skyrocketed. But she didn't get angry. Instead, she said with a half-smile, "Why, are you feeling distressed? Do you think your mother will die without saving you?"
"My child doesn't dare!" Su Qingtan was shocked and said hurriedly: "How could my child think like this? I just want to ask my second sister who hurt her."
Mrs. Su Cui sighed and pretended to be helpless and said, "Your aunt is the head of the back room. I only heard about Erya. How could I have imagined that she was living such a miserable life."
"Isn't the second sister my aunt's first daughter? How could she be so cruel? Doesn't daddy care about her?"
Su Qingtan asked in disbelief. He really didn't want to believe that the Su family was such a cold family.
"I don't know the specific details of my mother. I heard that it was because Erya made a big mistake when she was very young that she ended up like this. Okay, don't mention these old things. What you have to do now is study hard. Don't You must live up to your mother’s expectations.”
"Don't worry, Mom, I'll take care of it."
Su Qingtan believed her mother's words and breathed a sigh of relief.
After Mrs. Su Cui warned her, she and her maid Zhu'er left the study together. Before leaving, she narrowed her eyes slightly. This little vixen didn't look very good, but her ability to seduce people was just like his mother's.
"Watch Erya! Let her have less contact with Tan'er."
"Yes, ma'am."
