Chapter 14 The Mistress of the Hua Family

Hua Xian doesn't actually pay much attention to these things, but she still knows a little about them.

After hearing Yu Ronglan state his name, he roughly matched up to this person. With Hua Wu's occasional additions, Su Yu quickly figured everything out.

Yu Ronglan's mother, Yu Wan, belonged to a branch of the Yu family and was a renowned beauty in her time.

The Yu family originally planned to offer Yu Wan to other powerful demons for marriage, but Yu Wan disappeared for three years during a training trip. When she returned, she was pregnant.

Now the Yu family could no longer use Yu Wan to curry favor; they weren't asking for trouble.

For some reason, the Yu family still allowed Yu Wan and her son to live in the side courtyard, but they did not receive the treatment of regular Yu family members, and some Yu family members would occasionally cause them trouble.

"I wonder what that kid Yu Ronglan is up to. He seems to hate his family to death," Hua Xian said. "The Yu family will definitely invite our family to their auction. Why don't we go and watch the show?"

Su Yu was actually more concerned about how much money his magical plant could sell for, but the Hua family was, after all, his current angel sponsor.

He looked at her with a sincere expression and was about to agree when he heard a gentle female voice.

"Where are you going to see the excitement? Why didn't you take me with you, Xian'er?"

Su Yu looked in surprise toward the sound, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Hua Xian instantly stand tall and straight, his carefree and arrogant demeanor completely gone.

Upon closer inspection, it appeared that his calves were trembling slightly.

At this moment, Hua Xian's ingratiating voice came: "Mother, you and your godmothers have finished playing and are back. Why didn't you tell us beforehand? Father and I could have come to pick you up."

It turned out to be Hua Xian's mother, the matriarch of the Hua family. Su Yu glanced at her with a hint of curiosity, then quickly looked away.

The Hua family couple's cultivation level was much higher than his, so he dared not venture out to investigate rashly.

I wonder what kind of personality this lady has that made Hua Xian so obedient all of a sudden.

The newcomer moved with light steps, dressed in a simple light green outfit, holding a round fan to cover the lower half of her face, revealing a pair of fox-like eyes full of bright smiles.

It certainly looks like a design inspired by the VIP room of a flower and tree shop.

Another soft laugh.

"I don't need you to pick me up." Teng Qing waved her fan. "Xian'er, you haven't said what kind of fun you want to join in. Your mother wants to go too."

She then turned to look at Su Yu, winked playfully, and said, "This must be Xian'er's good friend, right? Did you know that?"

"Hua Xian wants to go and see the Yu family's auction in five days," Su Yu said with a polite smile.

"The Yu family? What's so interesting about that?"

Su Yu heard the elegant lady give a light sneer, which seemed rather disdainful.

“If you have the time, Xian’er, you should practice your cooking skills,” Teng Qing sighed with some worry. “Otherwise, I’m really worried that you’ll starve to death outside.”

"That was an accident! An accident..." Hua Xian retorted indignantly, but gradually fell silent under Madam Teng Qing's smiling gaze, and finally said honestly, "I understand."

"Alright, go do your thing," Madam Teng Qing said with satisfaction. "Make sure you get along well with your friends."

The lady walked past her youngest son without a second thought, as if she had only bumped into him on her way out and offered a perfunctory greeting.

Hua Xian muttered to himself, wondering what his mother was rushing off to do again.

After inquiring with the servants and learning that the small courtyard prepared for Su Yu was ready, Su Yu separated from Feng Twelve and Hua Xian, and each returned to their own room.

Anyway, it's close by, so it's very convenient to find someone.

Su Yu and Feng Twelve were led into the house by a servant, only to learn that Madam Teng Qing, upon discovering that she had two new guests, had instructed the servants to buy them new clothes and place them in the wardrobe. She even stated that these were basic styles, and that they would wear custom-made clothes from the family's embroiderers, just like Hua Xian.

There's also a small hot spring at the back of the courtyard, perfect for guests to wash away the fatigue of their journey.

After the servants left, Su Yu quickly prepared a change of clothes and looked at Feng Twelve with a smile in her eyes: "Twelve, your brother has been working hard for days to come find you. Come and take a bath with me?"

Feng Shier was slightly taken aback. He had just felt a little guilty, even wondering if his attitude at the time was the reason why Su Yu had rushed back so quickly and was so exhausted. But once Su Yu suggested taking a shower together, he couldn't care less about those things anymore.

Is this what intimate activities between family members are like?

He... he doesn't seem to be used to it yet.

My ears felt hot, and the heat seemed to spread to my cheeks; my eyes also felt a little sore from the heat.

Feng Shier covered his face in frustration. Why was he so weak-willed? Wasn't this just like being a shy little child?

"No need, brother, you go first."

Seeing the child's obviously red ears, Su Yu blinked innocently, then mischievously leaned close to his ear and asked, "Is Little Twelve shy?"

Seeing the child's wide-eyed surprise and even the urge to run away, Su Yu quickly suppressed her mischievousness, which had inadvertently given itself away, and scooped up Feng Twelve in her arms.

The child was very thin, and is now only slightly healthier.

Catching him earlier but being knocked over was a complete miscalculation.

Su Yu even bounced the child around and said, "Not bad, you're heavier than before, looks like you've been eating well."

"Let's go, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, I have what you have too."

Feng Shier buried the lower half of his face in his collar in embarrassment and whispered, "I can walk by myself..."

But the child didn't struggle or resist much, did he?

Oh, then I'm sorry.

It's so much fun to tease kids.

Su Yu cheerfully concluded, saying, "What? I didn't hear you clearly."

Then they took Feng Twelve directly to the hot spring behind the house.

Feng Shier was being held, and his entire demonic aura seemed to be steaming. The tips of his ears were so red they looked like they were about to bleed. He was so dizzy that he didn't know how to resist.

Until Su Yu came to take off his clothes.

Feng Shier gripped the hem of his clothes tightly, resolutely disagreeing.

"I can wash myself! You're not allowed to watch!"

Su Yu didn't force it; teasing a child too much isn't good.

In the end, Feng Shier remained soaking in the hot spring with his back to Su Yu, lost in thought, wondering how things could have turned out this way.

Didn't he initially only want to swindle some resources from Su Yu? Why is he now acting as someone's younger brother?

Never mind, my brother is fine too. Although his aura was even more pronounced when he came back.

That Hua Xian we met along the way, she always dragged my brother along, so annoying.

After washing up, the two got dressed and came out. Su Yu used her demonic energy to evaporate her dripping long hair.

After consulting with Feng Shier, they slept together on the large bed in the master bedroom.

"Brother," Feng Twelve whispered, "that young master Hua is so fierce."

Su Yu was initially confused and stunned, then her eyes gradually brightened. Was this a cub's way of being affectionate?

He reassured Feng Shier, "It's alright, he's just a bit arrogant outside."

"If he gets mean to you, just tell me, and we'll leave the Hua family."

Feng Shier lowered his eyelashes, which were damp from the mist. He decided to leave. Although he didn't have much talent, his brother could use the Hua family's resources to rise to a higher level.

It's really annoying to have no ability.
