C7 Not a Trace of Peace

He didn't know if it was because he was injured or because he was too tired from yesterday, but he still slept very early in the morning. If it wasn't for Xia Hee calling her to wake up and pay respects to her grandmother, he wouldn't have known when she would have gone to sleep.

However, this long sleep made her body feel a lot more relaxed. She no longer had the feeling of being powerless and unsteady like the day before. Instead, her footsteps became a lot lighter as she walked.

He left Xia Hee behind, and only after she had treated him did he rush to the entrance of the courtyard.

"Miss, you left too fast. This servant really can't keep up." Xia Hee was panting heavily, her hands on her knees.

"You, it's time to train. In the future, if you encounter any problems, you won't be able to escape." Looking at Xia Hee's panting, Su Zijin was a little worried. Her journey in the future would only get more and more dangerous. It was impossible for Xia Hee to stay by her side without having some form of defense.

"Miss, our mansion is safe, there is no need to run." Xia Hee blinked her large, watery eyes in confusion and doubt.

Su Zijin didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only sigh and shake her head. "Forget it. Let's go back."

"Big sister, wait for me." Su Zijin had just taken a step when she heard a call from behind her.

Su Zijin's hands were grabbed by a pair of small, tender hands.

"Big Sis, why are you walking so fast? I called you a few times but you didn't reply. Are you angry with me?" As Su Ying spoke, her eyes started to mist up, and her cheeks flushed red from walking away. It gave her a pitiful appearance.

"Angry? Why should I be angry at Second Sister? Could it be that second sister did something to let me down? " Su Zijin retracted her hand without batting an eyelid, turned her head and asked with a smile.

Su Ying didn't expect Su Zijin to ask her without giving her face in front of the crowd. Her face stiffened for a moment before she raised her smile again.

"How could I do something that would let Big Sis down? I only called Big Sis a few times and then ignored me. I'm afraid I've offended you." Su Ying grabbed Su Zijin's arm and shook it coquettishly, as if the two sisters had a good relationship.

Su Ying didn't have the ability to act as Su Lingshan did. She was too pretentious and could not hide the disgust she felt for her. It made people uncomfortable.

"I was injured and my ears weren't too good, so I didn't hear you. If there's anything you want to say, just say it." Su Zijin turned her body slightly to the side, threw off her hands, and looked at her coldly.

Facing Su Zijin's undisguised ice-cold eyes, the nameless fire in Su Ying's heart instantly ignited.

What happened yesterday was enough to make her angry. Today, she was the first to give in and curry favor with her. Not only was she not grateful, she was even not giving her face.

Hmph, Su Zijin, after today you'll be doomed forever. I'll see if you still dare to treat me like this then!

"It's all about the Floral Feast four days from now. Big sister, you also know that Momo Lee is going to be a big red person in front of the empress dowager this time. If she sees us, she'll definitely speak up for us at the feast."

Elder sister, you will be 30 years old next year. You must seize this opportunity. I think that Momo Lee's eyes must surpass the other Noble Miss's in order to achieve this.

It's already been four days since the Floral Feast is held in the Li Palace, so it will definitely be too late if we do that. I heard that there's a clothing shop in the west of the city that's done extremely well.

"Clothes shop?" Su Zijin's brows were slightly raised. Her eyes, which were as black as ink, stared at Su Ying, as if she wanted to see through something.

Su Ying felt guilty because of Su Zijin's gaze, and didn't dare to look her in the eye. She hurriedly turned to the side and said: "I've already told Grandmother and Grandmother approves. After all, the Floral Feast has been set up in our mansion this year, so we can't lose face here."

Su Zijin glanced at Purple Stone Cottage from the corner of her eyes, and sneered in her heart.

If she refused after bringing down such a big hat, wouldn't that mean she had deliberately lost face for Su Mansion?

As soon as the incident from yesterday settled, these people had rushed over. They really didn't want to give her a chance to live a peaceful life.

Well, there was no avoiding it, so let's see what they did.

"True, then let's go take a look."

"The carriage is already waiting outside. Big Sis, please go first. My clothes have just been splashed by the tea, I'll be changing my clothes then." Without waiting for Su Zijin to agree, Su Ying turned around and hurriedly left along the stone road, looking as if she was afraid that Su Zijin would go back on her word.

"Why is it so strange for Second Miss to invite Miss to the clothing shop today? I'm afraid she has ulterior motives." Looking at Su Ying's back, Xia Hee felt really uneasy.

Su Zijin turned around and glanced at Xia Hee. She tapped Xia Hee's forehead with her index finger and said with a smile, "You can already see that she has ill intentions. What is there to be afraid of?"

With that, Su Zijin strode out the door.

She sat in the carriage and waited for the time it took to brew a cup of tea before she hurriedly opened the curtain of the carriage to enter.

As soon as they entered the car, Su Zijin noticed her eye-catching light green skirt. The top part of her skirt was a dark green with half a sleeve covering. Although she was dressed like a charming young girl, the contrast in color could be seen from the pink dress she was wearing.

This made Su Zijin think back to when she was at the Purple Stone Cottage Courtyard entrance, where Su Ying had worn a dress the same color as hers.

Could it be …

"Big Sis, why are you frowning? Were you unhappy after waiting for so long?" Su Ying got closer to Su Zijin and her mood was a bit better than before.

"Nope." Even though Su Zijin had made some guesses in her heart, she didn't let it show on her face. She remained as calm as ever.

Seeing that Su Zijin was unwilling to talk more with her, Su Ying didn't want to curry favor with her. Since they had already left the house, everything else was under her aunt's control. Su Zijin was finished.

The clothing shop on the west side of the city was not far from Yongning Lane. It only took the time it took to drink a cup of tea to finish.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Su Ying impatiently got off the carriage and was the first to rush into the clothing store.

With the support of Xia Hee, Su Zijin got off the carriage. She was not in a hurry to get in, so she calmly observed her surroundings.

Heh, Concubine Faang, you've really underestimated me.

"Xia Hee, who prepared the clothes for me today?" Su Zijin asked casually as she walked towards the clothing store.

Xia Hee thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Cui prepared it. Liu Zhu is sick today."

Su Zijin nodded her head in understanding. "In a while, find a chance to call a carriage and wait for me at the back of the street. Also, buy a set of the Four Treasures.

"This servant understands."

Before she could even put away her rear foot, Su Ying ran up with two long skirts and happily said, "Big Sis, look, this suit suits you so well. The shop owner said he can try it on, but let's try it on."
