C7 To Serve Tea to Granny

Shen Xining and Chu Yaruo went to the kitchen together. The maid pointed at the cabinet full of tea leaves and tea set and left.

Chu Yaruo brewed the tea very quickly. She chose the tea leaves in the container of the white jade tea and directly used hot water to boil it. She was thinking about how to show herself in front of Old Madam Su and did not care if the tea was brewed well or not.

Shen Xining first sniffed the tea leaves in each container and picked out the tea leaves from within.

Just as she was about to make the tea, the door to the backyard was suddenly pushed open.

A woman wearing a bamboo hat and coarse cloth clothing entered the room. The face of the woman was covered in dirt and her face could not be seen clearly. She looked like a servant of Su family.

The woman complained, "What bad luck. It rained yesterday and all my flowers were soaked to death. I even slipped and fell."

Without waiting for Shen Xining and Chu Yaruo's reaction, the woman walked over and picked up the tea that Chu Yaruo had brewed and drank it.

"Who made the tea? So casual? It's hard to drink."

Chu Yaruo angrily pushed the woman away and said unhappily," Where did the maid come from? Dirty or not? She really doesn't know the rules."

The woman staggered backwards. Shen Xining saw it and quickly supported her.

"You, are you alright?" Shen Xining found a new cup and poured a cup of warm water for the woman, "You take your time and drink slowly. Chu, the young lady is pouring tea for Third Master. So you are anxious, don't be angry."

The woman looked at Shen Xining, took the cup and said with a smile, "Thank you."

" You're welcome. "

Shen Xining continued to boil water and make tea.

After Chu Yaruo brewed the tea again, she could not wait to take credit in front of Shen Xining but she said softly, "Miss Shen, I will go and bring tea to Third Master first. It is not good to make Third Master wait for a long time."

Shen Xining nodded her head.

After the woman drank the water, she patted the dust off her body and pointed at Chu Yaruo's back as she said, "You are not afraid that she will take credit?"

"No, Chu. Miss Chu is very gentle." Shen Xining replied simply.

When the water started to boil, Shen Xining first heated the teapot and tea cup. Then, she first brewed the tea leaves. After she poured the tea leaves out, she earnestly brewed the tea.

The woman looked at Shen Xining with admiration, "You actually know how to make tea?"

"A little bit. When I was young, neighbors, grandfather taught... Sorry, I was talking too much."

Shen Xining immediately covered her mouth and almost spilled the beans.

Shen Muxue was a big miss who only knew how to shop. Where did the neighbor come from to make tea?

The woman smiled and did not mind, "I will go and do my work first. Thank you for your water."

"It's fine."

Shen Xining shook her head. This woman was very amiable and did not mock her for stuttering. Unknowingly, she actually chatted so much.

Shen Xining did not think too much and quickly made tea and went to the hall.

She walked in front of Old Madam Su and respectfully said, "Old, old madam, drink tea."

Old Madam Su did not move and did not even bother to lift her eyelids, "Shen family taught you to serve tea like this?"

Shen Xining's face turned pale and she knelt on the cold marble and said with a trembling voice, "Old madam, drink, have some tea."

Old Madam Su did not speak and deliberately made her kneel.

Shen Xining raised the tray and her arms stiffly pulled the wound on her back. Her body also started to shake.

She looked up and found that Su Ci was looking at her. His deep eyes carried a warning, as if he did not want her to fall down in front of Old Madam Su.

She could only bite her lips and insist.

Just when she felt that she was about to fall down, there was a lovely laughter behind her.

"I can smell the fragrance of tea from far away. Why didn't a guest at home call me?"

This voice wasn't... The woman in the kitchen just now?

The woman was wearing a purple qipao with a jade orchid embroidered on her diagonal shirt. She looked gentle and mysterious. Her long brown hair was tied behind her ears and she looked dignified and generous.

When Shen Xining got closer, she realized that the woman in front of her was a foreigner with brown hair and brown eyes. She was about forty years old and she still had her charm. How could she still have half of the embarrassing situation in the kitchen?

The woman reached out her hand to help Shen Xining up and slowly sat beside Old Madam Su.

"Old madam, the new wife is here to serve tea. Shouldn't we first respect the mother-in-law? When should we first respect the grandmother? Don't bully me for breaking the rules just because I'm a foreigner, but you said that the Su family knows the rules the most. "

" Su Yina! " Old Madam Su was speechless. She glared at Su Yina but could not say anything to her.

"You are Shen Muxue? Our family's Su Ci's newly married wife?" Su Yina sized up the person in front of her.

"Yes, yes." Shen Xining nodded.

"Then why are you still standing there? Why don't you give this mother-in-law a cup of tea for her new wife?"

Granny?

Didn't Su Ci's birth mother die?

Shen Xining was stunned for a moment and quickly served tea, "Husband, Madam, have some tea."

"What Madam? Although I am Su Ci's stepmother, you are Su Ci's wife. You should let him call me Mom. Come, let me hear it. "

It turned out to be his stepmother.

Shen Xining looked at Su Ci, not knowing what to do. Su Ci's face was expressionless as if he silently agreed with Su Yina's actions. This attitude seemed to be better for the stepmother than his grandmother.

She licked her dry lips and said softly, "Mom, drink some tea."

When she called her mom, she could not help but think of her mother, who could not be buried, and her eyes immediately turned red.

"Be good, no one dares to bully you when Mom is here!" Su Yina's heart ached as she touched her face. She received the tea and took a sip. "The tea that I carefully brewed is indeed overflowing with fragrance. It is much better than those random teas that make up numbers."

When she heard this, Chu Yaruo's face turned ashen and she shivered a little.

Shen Xining's heart warmed and as if she saw her mother protecting her, she sobbed and said thank you.

Su Yina took off the jade bracelet on her wrist, "This is a gift from Su Ci's father. Today I will give it to you as a gift. I watched my family's Su Ci grow up, so my personality was a little cold. But he is not a bad person. You two must get along well in the future. "

He isn't a bad person?

Shen Xining thought silently. He was bad. He was the most terrifying man she had ever seen in her life.

As she thought, she felt a cold light fall on her head. She slowly raised her head and met Su Ci's cold gaze. She slightly raised her eyebrows, as if she had seen through her.

She immediately covered her chest. Could it be that he had seen through her saying bad things about him?

Seeing Su Yina's love for Shen Muxue, it was Chu Yaruo's turn to be stiff and helpless. She never would have thought that the woman she scolded in the kitchen was actually Su Ci's stepmother.

The famous female Mrs Su, Su Yina.

Su Yina's original name was Yina. After marrying into the Su family, she got used to her husband's surname. The maternal family overseas was very powerful. After Su Ci's father suddenly passed away, Su Yina supported the Su family alone and raised Su Ci and Su Ling by herself.

Therefore, no matter if it was Old Madam Su or Su Ci, they would show some respect to Su Yina.

Such a woman actually treated Shen Muxue so well. Didn't this mean that she was certain of Shen Muxue's identity as Young Madam Su?

She bit her lips and thought, No! I can't let Shen Muxue become the proper Su Young Madam.

Chu Yaruo looked apologetically at Su Yina and solemnly apologized, "Mrs Su, I'm sorry. Just now in the kitchen, I was in a hurry to make tea for Third Master and offended you."

Su Yina looked at Chu Yaruo with a smile and spoke unhurriedly. " Miss Chu cared so much about her boss. However, the smartest thing about a woman is that she knows when to stop. Especially when facing a married man, isn't that right? It is already late at night. If you stay in the Su family, it will be easy for people to gossip about you. I'll get someone to send you back now."

" I... "Chu Yaruo bit her lips.

Su Yina actually warned her for Shen Muxue! It seemed like she did not agree that she was Su Ci's girlfriend at all!

"What's wrong? You don't want to?" Su Yina emphasized her tone.

Chu Yaruo looked at Su Ci, feeling wronged. Su Ci narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. His expression was indifferent.

"I will ask Chung Jin to send you back."

She knew that Su Ci did not like women who were not sensible, so she could only nod her head. "I will wait for your call."

"Okay."

When they returned home, Chu Yaruo was so angry that she smashed things.

"What's so good about that stutter!"

After venting, she called the private detective. "I asked you to investigate Shen Muxue. How's the investigation going?"

"Miss, I have it. It's just..."

" Oh? That's great."

This time, he wanted to see how Shen Muxue was going to stay in the Su family.
