C7 The Hospitality of the Su Residence

Su Yueru smiled and walked up to Bi Qiu, pulling her hand.

"Thank you, but I wonder why Grandmother is looking for me?"

As she spoke, she slipped the silver bracelet onto Bi Qiu's hand.

Bi Qiu didn't take back her hand. Instead, she placed her delicate hand on the edge of the bracelet and gently pushed it back.

Su Yueru's expression changed slightly. Was he unwilling to accept her bribe, or was he looking down on her for something so small?

"This servant only sent the message. For what reason, this servant doesn't know. It's just that Miss Biao and Miss Nun are there."

Bi Qiu stopped talking. She did not know why she said that, but it definitely had something to do with Su Qi and Lin Xuemei.

Su Yueru estimated that they should not be able to hold themselves back any longer.

She winked at Yanzhi.

Yanzhi was also a smart girl. She immediately ran over with a plate of pastries.

"Sorry for the trouble, Sister Bi Qiu. These are the pastries that I just made. If you don't mind, we can have some together."

Bi Qiu felt that the eldest young mistress was really different today. Usually, when she heard the madame had invited her to join them, she was so frightened that she wanted to roll her eyes and fall to the ground, but today she was neither humble nor haughty.

"Then this servant thanks Eldest Miss for her gift."

Cake, that's not a bribe, is it?

He pinched a piece of plum blossom branding and gently took a bite. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

Yanzhi looked carefully and immediately wrapped a handkerchief around it before handing it to Bi Qiu.

"Sister Bi Qiu, if you don't mind, please eat more."

"How can I accept this."

After a few shunts, she accepted it.

It's not worth much anyway.

After Bi Qiu left, Su Yueru intentionally applied some frost on her lips, making her face appear even paler. The bandage on her head had been peeled off, revealing a terrifying wound.

"Shui Fen, what happened to the thing I asked you to make last night?"

"It's all ready."

Shui Fen said as she placed an item wrapped in a red cloth on the table.

Su Yueru lifted the corner of her mouth and looked around before nodding in satisfaction.

Unexpectedly, Shui Fen's hand was so coincidental that it was roasted along with the powder in one night's work.

This was her cooking technique. She often made replicas, and it was enough to pretend to be real. Furthermore, she had made dozens of these things before.

"Let's go. Yanzhi, just come with me. There can't be no one left to look after us in the house. Shui Fen, you stay."

Even though Shui Fen was unwilling, she still nodded with a pout.

The old lady's "Silent Blossom House" was slightly to the south. It was in the same direction as Su Yueru's "Homesickness", so they quickly reached it.

The old lady was confident that she could smell a thick sandalwood aroma from afar.

I heard that the old lady usually had nothing to do, almost never stepped out of the door, never listened to anything outside the window, and wholeheartedly read Buddhist scriptures in the main hall.

He probably did too much when he was young.

He was wearing a red tunic and had a gold ribbon tied around his head. He held a string of buddhist beads in his hand and rolled his eyelids. The corners of his mouth were slightly bent. He was obviously not a nice person to meet.

Lin Xuemei wiped away her tears as she kneeled beside the old lady's legs, calling her "grandmother" one at a time.

Su Qi, who was standing at the side, also had a wronged look on her face.

Bi Qiu, who came back first, was standing behind the old lady with Maidservant, who was dressed similarly to her.

"Greetings to Grandmother from our granddaughter."

Su Yueru half squatted and saluted, except for the old lady, who did not even lift her eyelids.

After a while, Bi Qiu, who was originally standing behind the old lady, took out a porcelain cup that was painted in an official's kiln and handed it to the old lady.

"Madam, eldest miss is here."

The old lady raised her head and glared at her, obviously blaming this girl for speaking too much.

Bi Qiu took the teacup and took a sip before handing it back to Bi Qiu.

"Get up."

Su Yueru had just straightened up when she heard the old lady speak again.

"I heard that you let your aunt and cousin stay in your west wing?"

My aunt and cousin said that they don't like to live in the guest garden, and Yueru thought so. Although my aunt was a daughter who had married off, she still came from our Prime Minister's Estate, and although she came back to join her family, she is still part of her own family. It's not appropriate to live in the guest garden, but she couldn't find another place to live for a while.

Your married daughter came back to her family like a splash of water. She's so arrogant, acting like she thinks she's her master. Besides, this half of the family isn't suitable to stay in the guest garden, do you want me, the true master, to stay in the guest garden?

These words caused the old lady to be stunned. She couldn't help but look at Su Yueru from head to toe. She still looked ugly, but there was less timidity in her eyes.

"Your arrangement is not bad, but you did not allow your aunt and cousin to eat breakfast. Is this how our Su Mansion treats its guests?"

Su Yueru raised her eyes and looked at Lin Xuemei and Su Qi with a puzzled expression.

"Where did Grandmother hear this from? Our Su Mansion is not so poor that we can't even afford to eat a single meal, so how can Yueru not allow our aunt and cousin to eat? It's just that this morning, Cousin and Aunt woke up late. Yueru saw that the porridge was already cold, so she told Maidservant to take it back to the kitchen to heat it up. That's why it's a misunderstanding. "

"Nonsense, don't you have a small kitchen in your yard? I'll get you, Maidservant, to cook something for me, but you refused. You even told me to go to the big kitchen to carry it."

Lin Xuemei, who was kneeling beside the old lady's legs and acting pitiful, suddenly stood up. Her actions were so fast that even the old lady was shocked. She frowned slightly as she looked at her reckless granddaughter.

On the other hand, Su Yueru had her head lowered, looking neither eager nor anxious. This was the proper demeanor for a lady of a noble family.

Upon closer inspection, his forehead was covered with bandages, and blood could faintly be seen dripping from his wounds.

Zhang Xuan frowned.

"It was my fault, I didn't explain it clearly to my cousin, and I let my cousin misunderstand. Yesterday, my sister Maidservant accidentally injured her hand, and she couldn't even take the spatula. That's why I can't help her cook breakfast, I didn't think about it, but my cousin misunderstood."

Lin Xuemei gritted her teeth in anger. She didn't say that back in the courtyard and even threatened her.

"Then I'll ask your Maidservant to bring me some congee. Why are you standing guard over it?"

Su Yueru bit her lip and raised her head to pinch her thigh. Instantly, her eyes turned red.

She feigned weakness as she tilted her body. The rouge behind her immediately stepped forward to support her.

"Miss, did you faint again? "This servant already said that you're not well. You can't get out of bed and walk around. You just ran over eagerly to meet the old mistress …"

Yanzhi muttered. Her voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone in the room to hear, including Old Madam Su, who was seated at the head of the table.
