Because of worry, Su Yan didn't sleep much all night, and pretended to inadvertently ask Liu Xiang when she was washing the next morning: "Do you know that the officers and soldiers caught the thief last night?"
Liu Xiang shook her head and said: "I heard no, and later they went to search around Mr. Wei's mansion next door, why did the girl think of asking this?"
Su Yan was relieved after hearing Liu Xiang's words, and she just pretended to be embarrassed and smiled: "It's the first time I've encountered such a thing since I was a child, I was a little scared, I was so worried that I didn't close my eyes all night, for fear that the thief would rush into our yard. "
"It's the first time this maid has experienced such a thing, and she was terribly scared." Liu Xiang smiled and said, He Xiang, who was fiddling with her fingers, frowned when she heard the conversation between the two: "What thief? The one who entered our house yesterday thief?"
Su Yan said lightly: "You slept deeply last night, and I didn't wake you up."
Ziyou Liuxiang told Hexiang what happened again.
After washing up, Su Yan went to the old lady to say hello, and the eldest lady happened to be there, so Su Yan smiled and said, "Greetings to the lady."
The eldest lady immediately helped Su Yan up, and took Su Yan's arm affectionately: "We are all a family, why are you so polite? Come here, let me introduce you, this is sister Jian, and you are sisters. She is ranked third, so you can call her Third Sister." The change in attitude was so great that Su Yan couldn't accept it.
Su Jian glanced at Su Yan upon hearing this, stood up and smiled shyly at Su Yan: "Fifth Sister." Then she sneaked a few glances at Su Yan in embarrassment.
Su Jian was dressed in water-green clothes, her hair was tied in a bun with two circles of delicate pearls wrapped around it, she was really cute.
"Hello, third sister." Su Yan blessed her body, and winked at Su Jian playfully: "Third sister is so pretty."
Su Jian was born by Aunt Wang, and her appearance followed Aunt Wang's. Although she was not as good as Su Yan, she was still a beauty. Aunt Wang had a son and a daughter, and another son was raised under the name of the eldest lady. Because she gave birth to the only male heir of the eldest family, Aunt Wang was somewhat respectable in front of the old lady.
The eldest lady pulled Su Yan to sit beside her. The old lady just glanced at her and didn't say much. Hearing Su Yan and Su Jian's soft voice, she couldn't help but miss that the second and third bedrooms were in the mansion. At that time, her place was bustling and bustling every morning, unlike now, there were not even a few people talking.
Su Yan saw that what the old lady was wearing on her forehead was the forehead wipe that she respectfully gave her that day, so she knew that the old lady cared about her in her heart. Thinking about her ignorance in her previous life, she never took the initiative to say hello to the old lady once she came to the mansion, but in the end, it was the old lady who helped her because she was an heir of the Su family.
After talking for a while, the eldest lady saw the lively atmosphere, so she smiled at the old lady: "When sister Yan's clothes are ready, my wife wants to take her out to attend a few more banquets, after all, sister Yan is also fourteen Now, we have just returned to Beijing when we reached the age of discussing relatives, we have to let everyone know that there is still a fifth girl in our family."
The old lady agreed with the big lady's suggestion: "You should go out more to see the world." Then she said to Su Yan: "You can't dress poorly when you go out to meet people. If you need anything, just tell grandma."
Before Su Yan could reply, the Da Furen smiled and said: "Look at what mother said, can the daughter-in-law treat Miss Yan poorly?" Goosebumps, but she had to pretend to be grateful and say a few kind words to the eldest lady.
Not long after, the old lady showed signs of fatigue, and Su Yan and the others tactfully withdrew. On the way back, the eldest lady took a step first, leaving only Haitang to see the two girls.
Su Jian originally wanted to go to her yard with Su Yan to play for a while, but Haitang glanced at her with a smile. Su Jian immediately understood, shrank her neck and took a step, leaving Su Yan and Haitang alone.
"Fifth Miss, do you know why the old lady punished the eldest lady yesterday?" Su Yan didn't expect Haitang to ask herself this question.
"I don't know." Su Yan looked at Haitang with clear eyes and replied without thinking.
There was some hesitation on Haitang's face, and finally she pulled Su Yan into the room, and said in a low voice: "It's actually not the maidservant's turn to talk about it, it's just that the maidservant fell in love with you, so I just said a word. Da Furen treats you so well. Okay, how can you go to the old lady to complain? It caused the old lady to scold the old lady yesterday."
Su Yan immediately understood that the eldest lady saw that the old lady liked her, and she was afraid that she would be blessed by the old lady, so she deliberately asked Haitang to drive a wedge between her and the old lady. That being the case, she must let the eldest lady get what she wanted.
Su Yan's face turned pale, and she looked in denial, "I didn't complain to the old lady, really! Sister Haitang! The lady treats me so well, how could I go to the old lady and speak ill of her?"
But Haitang frowned: "What? It's all right for Miss Wu to know she was wrong, why don't she admit it? Could it be that the old lady will still wrong you?"
Su Yan's pale face gradually turned red, and she opened her mouth several times to speak, but finally she just pursed her lips and stared angrily at the direction of the old lady's courtyard.
Seeing Su Yan's expression, Haitang knew in her heart, her attitude softened again, and she comforted Su Yan: "Our eldest lady is the most kind, and you should know it yourself, so I won't say anything more, your servant ... think about it for yourself."
"I really haven't." After a while, Su Yan said, her lips pouted.
"Okay, fifth girl, what Madam means is to let this matter go." Haitang sighed and said again: "You should rest well these few days. In a few days, there will be a flower banquet in Prince Jing's Mansion, and the eldest girl will go up the mountain. I've bowed to the Buddha, and the status of the third girl is not enough, Madam means to let you go with her."
"Sister, thank you Madam for me." Su Yan lowered her head, but she was laughing in her heart. If she hadn't known Da Furen's hateful face, she would have believed it.
After Haitang left, Su Yan thought silently in her heart that the flower banquet at Prince Jing's Mansion was a good opportunity for herself.
At the same time, in a mansion to the east of the capital, a man wearing only a white shirt was lying on the bed and listening to the guards read what they had found out, when he suddenly asked, "Is her adoptive father a doctor?"
"Yes, it says so." The guard nodded.
The man nodded suddenly: "That's not surprising."
The guard looked at the man suspiciously, wondering why the prince thought of checking the life experience of a boudoir
The man suddenly laughed again: "The Su family? She is actually a girl from Uncle Anjing's residence..."
The guard looked at the man with even more suspicion. Could it be that his family's heir was caught by something unclean? Why are you still talking to yourself
The man suddenly remembered something, and just about to tell the guards, he heard a report from outside: "My lord, the prince and concubine are here to see you."
Hearing this, the man immediately closed his eyes, and instead of being energetic, his face was pale and weak.
