Chapter 54 Want it? I’ll give it to you!
Yu Shengsheng met everyone's gazes and bowed to Su Dingqin.
"Major General."
Su Dingqin was in a rare good temper. He looked at her and his eyes gradually became relieved.
"I'm so glad you're okay. I've been worried about you."
Yu Shengsheng nodded: "Thank you."
"Today is Zhiyi's birthday, you..."
Su Dingqin originally wanted to say that he would reserve a good seat for her so that she could enjoy the meal, but suddenly he remembered that today was also Yu Shengsheng’s birthday.
He lowered his voice and said, "Shengsheng, Zhiyi only celebrates her birthday once a year. It's a big event, but she's not feeling well right now. Just let her go."
"Tonight, I'll cook birthday noodles for you myself, okay?"
Yu Shengsheng was really confused. Why did everyone think that she was going to bully Su Zhiyi and always use words to pressure her in advance?
"Major General, whose birthday doesn't come once a year?" Yu Shengsheng smiled. "Don't worry, I'm just a cousin, how can I give way to the princess? You're embarrassing me."
Su Dingqin's expression froze slightly, his hands unconsciously clenched, and he lowered his voice: "Shengsheng, you helped my brother, and I am very grateful to you. If there is anything, we can talk about it later, okay?"
Before Yu Shengsheng could reply, Su Zhiyi came closer and said, "Sister is here? That's great. I just told Ru Jian to go and invite you."
Yu Shengsheng bowed: "I don't deserve it."
"The princess asked me for a birthday gift before, and she said she wanted a crescent moon."
The smile on Su Zhiyi's face froze slightly. She didn't expect Yu Shengsheng to say it to her face.
Su Dingqin was also stunned: "Crescent moon?"
How could he not remember? That was the bow he gave to Yu Shengsheng. He spent a lot of money to buy the materials and made it himself. It took him more than a month to make it.
To this day, he still remembers Yu Shengsheng's sparkling eyes and joyful smile when she received the crescent moon.
She also said, "Brother, I will definitely learn horse riding and archery, learn some skills, and follow you to the battlefield in the future."
The words are still fresh in my mind, and so many changes have taken place.
Su Dingqin thought that Shengsheng would definitely not agree, and Zhiyi would definitely be sad.
He turned to Su Zhiyi and said, "Zhiyi, the crescent moon was given to Shengsheng by big brother. Big brother promised you..."
Before he could finish his words, Yu Shengsheng's voice cut his words in half.
"I brought the crescent moon with me. Since the princess wants it, there is no reason not to give it to her."
Jin Baobao behind Yu Shengsheng took the box forward and placed it heavily in front of Su Zhiyi.
"Not only is Wanyue here, but everything that Madam Su, the Major General, and the Second Young Master gave me since I came to the Su family is here."
Yu Shengsheng smiled lightly in the face of Su Dingqin's shocked and astonished eyes, brushing away his feelings like dust.
Not only his, but also his mother's and Su Yanshu's.
"Last time the princess asked the second young master for the white jade rabbit he gave me, and this time he asked for the crescent moon. I thought there was no need to go through so much trouble again. I'll just give you everything, including the box."
"This box is said to be Madam Su's dowry."
Su Zhiyi's face was ashen, and with her black eyebrows and bright red lips, she looked even more sinister.
Yu Shengsheng, she actually dared!
This was a slap in her face in public.
Su Dingqin's face also showed anger: "Shengsheng, how could you..."
Yu Shengsheng looked calm: "The princess asked me for it, should I not give it to her? If I don't give it to her, will the young general blame me for being ignorant and not knowing how to give in to her? What should I do to be right?"
Su Dingqin was speechless for a moment: "..."
Yu Shengsheng was sensible to do this, but he just felt uncomfortable!
She obviously likes the crescent moon so much, how could she give it to others?
Jin Baobao opened the box and revealed the contents.
Everyone looked inside and saw that there were quite a lot of things.
There were a small crossbow, a slingshot, two pairs of shoes, a cloak, and a small box. Jin Baobao also opened it and found a few hairpins inside. The style was not too new and it could be seen that they had been worn before.
Yu Shengsheng pointed at the box and said, "Princess, this is what you gave me that year. You said it was meaningful every year. I kept it and never wore it. Now, it is returned to its original owner."
Everyone exchanged glances. Was this a gift from Princess Rongyang? A princess like her actually gave someone jewelry that she had worn before?
Su Zhiyi's face became uglier and uglier. Ru Jian stepped forward and said, "What do you mean? Do you dislike my princess? These jewels are about meaning, not value!"
"If that's the case, then I can't afford it," Yu Shengsheng smiled slightly, "In case you need it again someday, if I don't keep it properly and can't take it out, wouldn't that be a problem?"
"Such a meaningful thing, the princess should keep it for herself."
Su Dingqin couldn't help but said in a low voice: "Shut up, what are you talking about? Is that what Zhiyi meant? She just asked you for the crescent moon, why are you like this?"
Su Zhiyi's eyes turned red at the right moment, and she bit her lip to stop the tears from falling: "It's my fault, brother, I just..."
She stroked her knees with both hands, her fingertips trembling slightly: "I just want to touch the crescent moon, want to draw the bow again, even if I don't shoot an arrow, I just want to experience the past again."
When talking about sad things, she still stubbornly refused to shed tears, but it made those who heard her sad and those who saw her cry.
Su Dingqin's heart broke apart: "You are not wrong, Zhiyi, it has never been you who is wrong."
Miss Liu frowned and said, "That's right, Princess, don't blame yourself. The one who is wrong is the outsider. He is the shameless person who came to someone else's house to ask for money, refused to leave, and wanted to pretend to be a rich girl."
Su Zhiyi’s face turned even paler.
Yu Shengsheng held Jin Baobao's arm and didn't even look at Miss Liu.
"In that case, these things, including the crescent moon, will be handed over to the princess."
After saying this, she turned and left.
A cold shout cut through the crowd with great power.
“Wait!”
Su Huaishan strode over: "Since you have handed over the things, you have to let others inspect them. Who knows if the worthless ones are handed over and the valuable ones are kept."
Yu Shengsheng sneered secretly, Su Huaishan was really asking for a slap in the face.
In order to make up for the lack of "family affection" to her, the Su family gave her things that were handmade, hand-embroidered, or used and commemorative.
There are indeed a lot of different kinds, but there are really no valuable ones.
"Okay, then please have General Su inspect it."
Su Huaishan just wanted to embarrass Yu Shengsheng and save her face so that others would see that even though they were cousins, she had benefited greatly from the Su family, and that the Su family had never treated her unfairly.
He walked to the box, took out the crescent moon and handed it to Su Zhiyi.
"Zhiyi, take it, if you want it, take it."
Su Zhiyi took it with both hands: "Thank you, second uncle."
Su Huaishan rummaged through the things in the box, becoming more and more annoyed.
"What kind of mess is this? Are you using these to make up the numbers? Are you hiding the valuables?"
Yu Shengsheng looked calmly and said, "General Su, why don't you tell me which ones are valuable and bring out the list."
Su Huaishan frowned. He didn't have a list. He had never delivered any of the things in here.
Yu Shengsheng smiled faintly: "You don't have it? I do."
