Chapter 13: Deception and Acting

"Mother, please point out to your daughter what is not like you. I am your daughter, why do I have to imitate others?"

Liu said with some displeasure: "What do you know? You haven't studied hard at all."

"Forget it. Come back and demonstrate it to me again another day. The Spring Banquet is in a few days, so you should learn some basic etiquette these few days. There will be many noble families attending the Spring Banquet, so don't embarrass my Liu family at the Spring Banquet."

"Yes, mother, your daughter understands."

Liu took a deep breath and cast a gloomy gaze on Liu Jinshu.

Although Liu Jinshu wore the same clothes as Su Yuheng, had the same hair bun as Su Yuheng, and even had the same makeup as Su Yuheng, she was still far inferior to Su Yuheng.

His temperament, demeanor, and movements were all very different from Su Yuheng's.

Especially that face, which was very different from Su Yuheng's. But she was her own daughter after all, and she felt quite unwilling that she could not compare to that woman's daughter.

"You must learn her essence within this year so that I can invite the Immortal Doctor Qingfeng to come down the mountain."

"Also...you can't call me mother or Yanqiu brother in front of outsiders. You can only call me aunt and Yanqiu cousin."

Liu Jinshu nodded: "My daughter understands."

Liu continued, "Your elder sister Yu Huan will be returning home in a few days. She will teach you some things in person then. Go back first."

"Yes, mother. Then your daughter will go back first." After Liu Jinshu finished speaking, she turned around and left Huating Garden and went to Fangfei Courtyard.

She wore a purple veil and was dressed exactly like Su Yuheng. If you didn't know her, you would think she was Su Yuheng.

After secretly arriving at the west wing of Fangfei Courtyard, Liu Jinshu hurriedly changed out of his clothes and put on his usual clothes before opening the door of the wing.

Tian Shuang came in with water and looked at her suspiciously: "The outfit that cousin just came in looks very much like our Fourth Miss. If you didn't know, you would think our Fourth Miss was at home."

Liu Jinshu showed a hint of embarrassment on his face. He looked at Tian Shuang and asked in a low voice, "Has my cousin returned home?"

Tian Shuang said, "Let's go back home."

"You're back home so soon."

She restrained her expression.

If Su Yuheng knew that she was imitating her, she would definitely not forgive her.

Thinking of this, Liu Jinshu deliberately asked, "Tianshuang, do you know why my cousin left the house?"

Tian Shuang shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it should be preparations for the Spring Feast."

"Many dignitaries and noble sons of wealthy families attend the Spring Banquet. If you can become famous at the Spring Banquet, you might be noticed by the royal family and become a princess in the future."

"However..." Tian Shuang smiled and looked up at Liu Jinshu again, "My cousin may not know that the princes of Dayan love to appreciate poetry and recognize lyrics. If you can win the favor of the prince, you may become a princess in the future."

Listening to Tianshuang's description, Liu Jinshu looked forward to the Spring Banquet more and more.

If she could show up in front of all the princes at the Spring Banquet, she might be noticed by one of the princes and chosen as his princess, and she would live a life of wealth and glory.

I know, you go down first."

"Yes, young lady." After Liu Jinshu finished washing up, Tianshuang left the west wing.

As soon as I left the west wing, I saw white dew under the banyan tree not far away.

She walked quickly to Bai Lu and glanced at the west wing. Seeing that the door was closed, she whispered, "Sister Bai Lu, I have already told my cousin what the fourth lady wanted."

Bai Lu handed a bracelet to Tian Shuang and said, "Well done."

After Bai Zhi entered the room, she closed the door and walked in front of Su Yuheng.

"What happened?" Su Yuheng asked.

Bai Zhi whispered, "The people we bribed followed the Second Young Master out of the mansion and found him getting on a carriage, then went to Fanlou."

"Fan Lou?" Su Yuheng frowned slightly.

He was very familiar with Fanlou. In his previous life, his brother often went in and out of Fanlou and brought her to Fanlou.

Now, according to the timeline of her previous life, Su Yanqiu had let her go after the incident at Fanlou.

Could it be that he went to Fanlou to discuss something with the King of Qi?

In her previous life, the King of Qi ruined her reputation.

How could the King of Qi let her go in this life?

She put down the chess piece in her hand and said to Bai Zhi, "I understand."

"Miss." Bai Zhi was a little dissatisfied: "Miss, you really don't care about your cousin when she imitates you so much?"

Su Yuheng said: "If she wants to learn, let her learn."

"Spring Banquet..." Su Yuheng sat in front of the chessboard and curled his lips slightly: "I must let my cousin come to my room. I will dress her up carefully. The more like me, the better."

"As for my good brother, I will definitely give him a big gift."

However, ever since Su Yuheng expressed his love to Su Yanqiu, Su Yanqiu has not come to Fangfeiyuan in the past few days.

Perhaps it was because of Su Yanqiu's guilt, or perhaps it was because he couldn't face Su Yuheng.

As night fell, Su Yuheng was lying on the couch with his eyes closed and sleeping, when the voice of the maid Bai Lu came from outside again.

"Miss, the prince is here."

She opened her eyes, slowly got up from the couch, put on her clothes, opened the door and saw Su Yanqiu standing outside the room.

"Second brother."

"Second brother hasn't come to Heng'er these days. Heng'er thinks that second brother hates me."

Su Yanqiu's face was solemn as he walked slowly into the wing room.

"I've been busy with official duties these past few days, so my second brother has been delayed."

He paused and continued, "Although you and I are brother and sister, there is still a difference between men and women."

Su Yuheng bit her lip lightly and followed him: "Second brother is right, you and I are siblings and there is a difference between men and women, but Heng'er just hates it. I hate that my last name is Su and I can't stay with my brother for long in the future."

Su Yanqiu stood beside her, his hand trembling slightly.

He turned around and met Yuheng's maddeningly beautiful eyes.

He wanted to get closer to her, but he restrained himself in the end.

"Remember, you will always be of the Su family's bloodline, my Su Yanqiu's sister."

"Brother, I came here today to tell you something."

Su Yuheng stood still and asked, "Brother, what do you want to say to Heng'er?"

Su Yanqiu sighed and said, "No matter what happens in the future, Second Brother is the person who loves you the most in this world."

"Now that you are grown up, I want to ask you, who do you want to marry?"

Su Yuheng stood there, looking at Su Yanqiu's complicated expression, guessing what he was saying now, and roughly guessed something.

Sure enough, he finally decided to send her to the bed of King Qi.

She lowered her head, and a strange curve appeared at the corner of her lips.

Then she gently raised her head, bit her thin lips, and looked at Su Yanqiu with wet eyes.

"Brother, don't you understand yet?"

"There is only one person in Heng'er's heart from beginning to end."

"Heng'er can't say it, can't ask for it, I just want to be with him forever."
