This time, even Chang Yue didn't know how to defend the Fourth Master. She also felt that the Fourth Master's behavior today was really excessive, and the master must be feeling bad. So Chang Yue didn't add fuel to the fire. She tucked the blanket in, lowered the curtain, and then left the room and closed the door.

Curled up in the quilt, Su Yushan listened to the gusts of wind outside the window and silently warned herself that she should never believe Hongli's words again. His promises were not worth believing and his attitude disappointed her to the extreme!

Nothing happened that night. When she woke up again and saw the golden sunrise on the horizon, feeling the autumn sun shining on the earth, Su Yushan felt that life was still very beautiful.

She had stopped thinking about what happened last night and gradually regained control of her emotions, but unexpectedly, Hongli came again!

At that time, she was practicing on Chang Yue, learning to draw eyebrows. The two, mistress and servant, were chatting and laughing. But the moment his figure suddenly came into her view, Su Yushan's smile faded.

Noticing the change in her master's expression, Chang Yue turned around and was surprised to find that the Fourth Master had arrived. No one had announced his arrival outside; he had come silently. As soon as he arrived, Chang Yue dared not remain seated any longer and immediately stood up to bow to him.

Su Yushan remained silent, not even bothering to greet anyone. She put down the eyebrow stone in her hand and turned to sit down by the tent.

Even through the silk screen, Hongli could tell that something was wrong with her expression. Knowing full well what was going on, Hongli waved his hand, and Changyue, understanding, curtsied and withdrew.

Only the two of them remained in the room. Hongli slowly approached and placed a box on the table in front of her. "This is a birthday gift for you."

As they spoke, Hongli opened the box, inside which was a gold ingot, inlaid with a small and exquisite gold ruyi (a type of scepter).

"This item symbolizes good fortune and I hope everything goes well for you."

She was not happy at all today. He failed to deliver on his wish for her congratulatory gift, and he didn't care for any other precious items.
