C71 His Mind Was Exhausted

After Madame Su heard Sikou Nianyue say this, she smiled and poked her forehead with her finger and said, "My silly daughter, how could this not concern you? Mother did so much for you!"

"All for me?" Sikou Nianyue frowned and looked at Madame Su and said," Mother, what do you mean? What does Sikou Nianxi marrying Leng Shaoyuan have to do with me?"

Madame Su looked Sikou Nianyue up and down with eyes full of disappointment. After that, she shook her head and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, why is my daughter so stupid? She wanted to take your husband away but you still don't feel anything. You just said that Sikou Nianxi marrying Leng Shaoyuan has nothing to do with you..."

Madame Su sighed. She continued, "Then mother asked you, if Sikou Nianxi did not marry Leng Shaoyuan, how would you have the chance to marry Shao Moli?"

"Marry Shao Moli?" Sikou Nianyue suddenly stood up from the bed and looked at Madame Su and said loudly, "Mother, when did I say that I would marry Shao Moli?"

Madame Su frowned and looked at Sikou Nianyue. She had an expression of who she would marry if she did not marry Shao Moli. "You once said that you must be graceful when you marry that man. You must keep a low profile. You are like a spring breeze when you are with him, right?"

Sikou Nianyue did not understand what Madame Su meant when she asked this question, but she still nodded her head honestly. "Yes."

"Then let's settle it." Madame Su spread out her hands, "Isn't that Shao Moli?" Sikou Nianyue sat on the bed dejectedly. She did not want to say anything to her mother anymore. After a long time, she said, "Mother, I... I don't like Shao Moli. Even if Sikou Nianxi doesn't marry him, I'm not going to marry him, anyway. He may not want to marry me."

Madame Su immediately became excited when she heard this. She looked at Sikou Nianyue and said," What are you talking about? You are the daughter of the Prime Minister and your status is precious. In the entire Imperial Capital, other than Shao Moli, Are you worried that Shao Moli's soul will be taken away by Sikou Nianxi, that foxy girl, and won't marry you? Don't worry about that. Since mother has a way to get Leng Shaoyuan to marry Sikou Nianxi, Of course I can let Shao Moli marry you."

"Mother!" Sikou Nianyue rubbed her head. She felt tired after hearing what her mother said. Sikou Nianyue looked at Madame Su in front of her. She only knew that no matter what she said now, to Madame Su, it was just playing the piano to a cow.

Shaking her head, Sikou Nianyue leaned against the bed railing and weakly said, "Mother, I... I am still young and do not want to get married..."

"My silly daughter..." Madame Su began to chatter again, " You are not very old but you are not young anymore. If you do not think about your marriage, how long will you have to wait?"

As she spoke, Madame Su's eyes inadvertently looked behind Sikou Nianyue and coincidentally saw Sikou Nianyue's embroidery. She could not help but sigh heavily, "Your mind is not on getting married, but you spend all your time on embroidery ducks. No matter how good the duck embroidery is, could it fly out of the embroidery to eat for you?"

Sikou Nianyue heard Madame Su's words and felt three bolts of lightning suddenly appear in the clear sky. Almost gritting her teeth, Sikou Nianyue jumped up from the bed all of a sudden. "Mother, did you see me sewing a duck with that eye of yours?"

Sikou Nianyue stood up just in time to let Madame Su see the embroidery that she had placed behind her. Madame Su picked up the embroidery and pointed at the crooked stitching on it and said to Sikou Nianyue, "Look, this is not a duck but what is it?"

Sikou Nianyue's face immediately turned red. She quickly took back her embroidery from Madame Su's hands and said loudly, "How is this a duck? This is clearly a mandarin duck. Mother, if you don't understand, then don't speak nonsense!"

Madame Su suddenly laughed out loud when she heard that. She pointed at the embroidery in Sikou Nianyue's hands and laughed uncontrollably. "Haha, you said that... this is actually a mandarin duck... How can there be a mandarin duck like a mandarin duck... mandarin duck..."

Sikou Nianyue suppressed Xin Zhou's anger and carefully sized up the embroidery in her hand. She reached out her hand and carefully stroked the needle and feet on it. She thought to herself, Is this really like a duck? However, what she wanted to embroidered was clearly a mandarin duck.

Sikou Nianyue was still struggling about whether the embroidery in her hand was more like a duck or more like a mandarin duck. Madame Su suddenly stopped laughing. She looked thoughtfully at the embroidery in Sikou Nianyue's hands and muttered, Lovers... Lovers...

Suddenly, Madame Su lifted her head and pointed at the embroidery in Sikou Nianyue's hands. She looked at Sikou Nianyue and said, "Just now you said that you did not want to marry Shao Moli. Is it because you want to marry the owner of this embroidery?"

Sikou Nianyue was stunned when she heard that and stuttered, "Mother, you... what are you talking about? What is the owner of this embroidery? Isn't the owner of this embroidery me?"

Madame Su stared intently at Sikou Nianyue and said, "Nianyue, don't play dumb anymore. I am talking about the person who received this embroidery from you." Sikou Nianyue's face immediately turned red and her voice became lower, "I, I don't know what you are talking about..."

Madame Su shook her head and looked at Sikou Nianyue and said, "You originally said that you are still young and do not want to get married. I also said that you spent all your efforts on embroidery. Now it seems that you are spending all your efforts on the person behind the embroidery."

Sikou Nianyue still did not speak and only looked at her embroidery closely. Madame Su walked over and held her hand. She said earnestly, "Nianxi, regardless of whether my guess is right or not, It would be best if you didn't have that intention. If you had that intention, The person you want to marry can only be Shao Moli. I spent so much effort to marry Sikou Nianxi to Leng Shaoyuan. In the end, wasn't it all because of you? Don't disappoint me. "

Sikou Nianyue still did not speak. She just shook her head sadly. At this moment, she was really too tired. The person she wanted to marry was not willing to marry her, but her mother still wanted to force her to marry that person she did not like.

After nagging at Sikou Nianyue for a while, Madame Su was finally going to leave. Before leaving, she instructed Sikou Nianyue to rest early and Sikou Nianyue only casually replied. Seeing Sikou Nianyue's despondent look, Madame Su was finally a little worried and came back. She called over a maid to help Sikou Nianyue wash up and after Madame Su helped Sikou Nianyue lie on the bed, helped Sikou Nianyue cover herself with the blanket before returning.

After hearing the sound of the door being gently closed, Sikou Nianyue finally let out a sigh of relief. Although the door was closed by Madame Su when she left, the careless Servant Girl forgot to close the window. Now Sikou Nianyue only felt very tired lying on the bed and did not want to move. She let the window open.
