Chapter 59 Greedy

Su Nuobai patted the little paper figurine's body and told it to go back and continue guarding: "Got it, I'll come after I change my clothes."

While changing her clothes, she went over Cai's parents' home in her mind.

Cai's original name was Cai Wanrou. Her maiden family was the hereditary Earl of Qing'an. After the old Earl, her father, died, the title was inherited by her eldest brother.

Her mother, the old countess, loved her daughter very much.

At the beginning, Su Deyi was just a Jinshi without any backing, but he was favored by Cai because of his good looks.

The Earl of Qing'an's Mansion played an indispensable role in his reaching his previous position as Shangshu.

After Feng Zhi saw her come out, he said, "Miss, I'm afraid they come with bad intentions."

Su Nuobai smiled and said, "No matter how unkind you are, you won't do it openly."

Butler Mu was already waiting at the gate of Qinxin Garden. When he saw her come out, he walked over and saluted: "Seventh Miss, the Earl of Qing'an said they came to see the lady, but in fact they want to take you to the Earl's Mansion."

Su Nuobai raised an eyebrow: "Are they going to take me back to the Earl's Mansion?"

Butler Mu nodded and said, "The palace banquet is coming soon. The young lady has just returned home and needs to ask a maid for guidance. However, given the master's current status, he cannot hire a maid from the palace."

Su Nuobai smiled. He was trying to torture himself in various ways.

The house next to the Su Mansion is the Censor's house, and when he was brought to his maternal grandfather's house to learn palace rules and etiquette, no one could find any fault with him.

"Got it. Am I going alone?"

"The fifth and sixth young ladies will also go together." Butler Mu said truthfully.

Su Nuobai raised the corners of her lips slightly. She did things thoroughly and it was hard to find any mistakes.

Several people came to the front yard, and a man who was older than Su Deyi sat in the seat at the top.

A graceful old lady sat next to him.

Su Deyi and Cai sat below the two of them.

Cai's eyes were slightly red, and it seemed that she had just cried. Her broken hand was still hanging around her neck, which made her look quite miserable.

Su Deyi saw her coming: "Nuobai, come and meet your uncle and grandmother."

Su Nuobai still had a naive smile on her face. She walked up to the two of them and saluted obediently: "Nuobai greets grandma and uncle."

The old countess didn't let Su Nuo wake up for a long time, and just stared at her.

Earl Qing'an turned to look at his mother, and seeing that she had no intention of letting him get up, he remained silent.

Su Nuobai suddenly raised her voice and shouted: "Nuobai has met my grandmother and my uncle."

Her roar carried some spiritual power, which made the ears of the people in the room hurt.

The old countess's face, which had been kind and loving, changed expression: "What are you doing?"

Su Nuobai stood up and blinked innocently: "I thought my grandmother and uncle were too old to hear Nuobai's greetings, so I spoke louder."

Earl Qing'an looked at the young girl with such an innocent expression that they really didn't know how to react.

The old countess also looked very unhappy. As the elders, they couldn't be mean to her, a junior.

"We haven't seen Nuobai for so long, and we were so engrossed in watching her that we forgot to tell you to get up."

Su Nuobai smiled, revealing her small white teeth: "It's okay, Nuobai won't bother with grandma."

The old countess was so angry that she almost lost her temper again.

Su Nuobai looked at the faces of the two people.

The old countess has scowls, a square face, a long chin, is greedy for money, and is extremely narcissistic.

Earl Qing'an had sparse eyebrows, a sharp nose, prominent cheekbones, and a narrow mind. Many people had been retaliated against by him.

Cai said quickly, "Nuobai, I called you here today so that you can pack your things and stay at the Earl's Mansion with your grandmother and the others for a few days."

Su Nuobai looked at her with tears in her eyes: "Mother, did Nuobai do something wrong? Are you going to drive Nuobai away again?"

Cai's nails were almost digging into her flesh. "How could that be? You're going to attend a palace banquet in a few days, and you just returned home so there are some rules you don't understand."

"You see, mother is injured now and cannot teach you the etiquette of the palace, so I asked your grandmother to do it for you."

Su Nuobai had an understanding look on her face: "Just Nuobai herself?"

"Of course not. And your fifth and sixth sisters. You haven't gotten along well with them since you came back. Take this opportunity to get along well with them."

Cai said quickly with a smile.

Su Nuobai nodded obediently: "Nuobai understands."

Earl Qing'an: "In that case, go pack your things first and leave with us later."

Su Nuobai bowed obediently: "Nuobai will take my leave."

Everyone in the front hall was driven out, and then Earl Qing'an looked at Su Deyi with an unhappy face: "Brother-in-law, what's going on with you?"

Su Deyi is now inconsolable and miserable: "Brother, I really don't know."

"I don't know. You've been demoted several levels in just a few days. If you continue like this, all our years of hard work will be in vain." Earl Qing'an looked angry.

Su Deyi lowered his head. He didn't understand what had happened to him these days.

The old countess looked at her daughter and said, "Wanrou, how did you teach her to be dedicated? How could she do such a shameful thing?"

"Now the whole Shengjing is in an uproar. What will happen to his future marriage?"

Hearing this, Cai could only lower her head and wipe away her tears: "Mom, I, I don't know why this happened."

"I don't know. How could you not know? Jingye doesn't have any official position. You are the one who teaches him on weekdays." The old countess felt depressed as if she was disappointed in her child.

Cai's eyes were red and she didn't know how to defend herself.

Earl Qing'an was furious: "Because of your affairs, now even our Earl Qing'an Mansion has been criticized."

The old countess patted her son's arm and said, "Now that things have come to this, there is no better way."

When she said this, she turned to look at Cai: "What's going on with Yaoyao?"

Cai looked at Su Deyi, not knowing what to say.

Su Deyi frowned and said, "Her illness is a bit strange. They said it was ringworm, but after it was cured, it kept coming back. Now she even said that an animal was biting her."

"But there are no animals left on the farm, and she still wails in pain every day."

Earl Qing'an sighed: "Yaoyao is a useless chess piece."

The old countess frowned: "Oh! I didn't expect that something like this would happen when she is about to be sent to the palace."

Su Deyi was also annoyed. This was his daughter whom he cared for the most and whom he loved the most.

I had thought that after she entered the palace and was favored by the emperor, she would be able to help me. Who would have thought that this move was completely ruined.

Earl Qing'an looked at the two of them and asked, "Can you control these three concubines?"

Cai was originally very confident, but with the variable of Su Nuobai, she began to hesitate: "There is no problem with the fifth and sixth brothers."

The old man and the countess: "So this girl is not sure just now?"

Although Cai didn't want to admit it, she could only nod.
