Chapter 83 Marry him and you will be very happy
Yu Shengsheng returned to the courtyard and gave the earrings to Nanny Zhou. Nanny Zhou was so happy that tears came to her eyes and she looked at herself in the mirror again and again.
Golden Leopard ate the candied fruit and kept nodding in praise.
Yu Shengsheng put away the gift for Grandma Wu and would give it to her after a few days when things were settled.
Nanny Zhou thanked him again and again and took Jin Baobao to the yard.
Yu Shengsheng unfolded the scroll and focused on painting.
It was not until the evening that Su Yanshu arrived.
He was holding a snack bag in his hand, which he placed gently on the table.
When he entered the yard, Yu Shengsheng put away the painting and replaced it with a half-finished ordinary painting.
"You're in such a good mood? What are you drawing?" Su Yanshu took a look and smiled. "Not bad."
What good is this? It’s just something very ordinary. Yu Shengsheng sneered secretly.
"Second Young Master, do you have something to ask me?"
Su Yanshu's tone was full of helplessness: "Shengsheng, there is no one else right now, can you call me second brother?"
Yu Shengsheng pursed her lips and said nothing.
Su Yanshu waited for a while, but she didn't say anything. He gradually lost his patience and explained his purpose.
"Do you know what happened outside today?"
"I don't know," Yu Shengsheng lowered her eyes and sketched on the white paper with the tip of her pen.
"The daughter of the Dali Temple's Shaoqing was kidnapped by criminals on her way home and has not returned yet."
Yu Shengsheng paused at the tip of his pen and a drop of thick ink dripped out.
She looked up in surprise: "What?"
Su Yanshu didn't miss any expression on her face: "You know?"
"I don't know," Yu Shengsheng answered firmly, "Why do you think I know?"
Su Yanshu smiled and said, "I don't believe there would be any bad guys under the emperor's feet, in the capital."
"You should ask the patrol battalion. They should know better."
"I heard that she had a quarrel with you in the jewelry store today?"
Yu Shengsheng was about to speak when Jin Baobao's voice came from the yard.
"Get out! You can't just barge into the young lady's yard? Do you understand the rules?"
"I'm here to see the Second Young Master. I have something to report."
"Go outside and wait!"
Su Yanshu said in an unhappy tone: "You, a maid, really know the rules."
"Of course, he knows more than the second young master's servant. How dare a servant break into my yard? The second young master has to take care of him."
Su Yanshu frowned, turned around and walked out. Yu Shengsheng didn't know what they were going to do, so he followed them.
"What happened?"
"My lord, the daughter of the Dali Temple's Shaoqing has been found. Her maid is dead, her body is covered with wounds, and... she has lost her virginity. Her clothes are torn and she is unconscious."
Yu Shengsheng's heart trembled.
Su Yanshu turned around and looked at her: "Don't you think this is very similar to what happened to Princess Duanyang?"
Yu Shengsheng clenched her hands in her sleeves, appearing calm: "I don't understand what the Second Young Master means. If you have any clues, why don't you go directly to her house or report to the police."
Su Yanshu smiled and said, "Shengsheng, don't be nervous. Second brother is not blaming you, but happy for you."
Yu Shengsheng frowned, puzzled.
"If this matter is really the work of Master Kong, it means that he will not let you suffer any injustice. No matter whether it is a big or small matter, he will stand up for you."
"Shengsheng, marry him, you will be very happy, and your second brother will be relieved."
He spoke gently and kindly, and Yu Shengsheng felt a chill down her spine.
If it was really the work of Kong Dezhao, that would be terrifying.
This can only mean two things: first, Kong Dezhao sent someone to keep an eye on her, and he even knew about her being mocked;
Second, Kong Dezhao was really cruel, as he hurt people so much because of such a small matter.
Yu Shengsheng is not a saint and will not defend those who laugh at her, but she also does not think that the young lady is so sinful.
Kong Dezhao was so cruel. What would happen to her if she got tired of being interested in him or disobeyed him?
Is there any need to ask this? It will only be worse than those women.
Su Yanshu smiled lightly: "Okay, it's okay, go back to painting."
After he left, Yu Shengsheng suppressed her emotions, grabbed Jin Baobao, and whispered instructions.
The lights were on in the room, and she sat at the table, not in the mood to retouch the painting.
Not long after, Golden Leopard came running back from outside.
"Miss, it's true. The young lady was indeed seriously injured and has not yet woken up. Several doctors have entered their home one after another."
Yu Shengsheng had a premonition, but when he actually heard it, he still broke out in a sweat.
Fortunately, the person I saw on the street today was not Qi Mubai.
Fortunately, I didn’t feel the urge to go look for him at the inn.
Yu Shengsheng's fingers were cold. She held Jin Baobao's hand and looked at her and Nanny Zhou who had just come in. "From now on, until the results are announced, we will not go out. There is no need. We will not even leave the yard."
Jin Baobao and Nanny Zhou nodded.
In the following days, Yu Shengsheng locked herself in the yard and concentrated on painting.
It was not until the day before the results were announced that Yu Shengsheng restored the portrait of mother and child.
The woman's face in the painting is clearer, and her dress looks brand new. She is smiling as she looks at the child she is holding in her hands.
The originally blurry face of the child became clear, with a round and chubby face, and was extremely cute.
His appearance is about 70% similar to that of a woman.
Jin Baobao and Nanny Zhou came over to take a look and were both amazed.
"Miss, you did a great job. This portrait has come alive again," Jin Baobao came closer, "and the woman is pretty, too."
Nanny Zhou looked at the woman in the painting and was slightly stunned.
Yu Shengsheng asked: "Why? Does Madam know him?"
Madam Zhou smiled and waved her hands: "Not really, I just think he looks a little familiar."
"With such a small face, we can only tell whether it's pretty or not, but can we also tell whether it's familiar or not?" Jin Baobao was curious.
Madam Zhou laughed out loud: "Girl, you are used to saying these nonsense. But it is true."
As for portraits, there is still some difference between them and real people. Beautiful women, when depicted in paintings, actually all look the same.
"Miss, when are we going to deliver it? We can also open the eyes of the boss."
Madam Zhou said, "You forgot, the young lady said we are not allowed to go out."
"Mammy, you forgot that tomorrow is the day the results will be announced."
Yu Shengsheng was very excited. She had been working overnight for the past two days, just to take the opportunity to return the paintings and go to the street to watch the announcement of the results.
She wanted to see Qi Mubai’s glorious moment with her own eyes.
"Tomorrow, we'll go together."
There was no need to wait until the next morning. Yu Shengsheng had hardly slept all night. There were faint dark circles under her eyes, but she was happy in her heart.
I got up early, put on some makeup and combed my hair, and didn't even have breakfast.
When going out, you should pretend to be in no hurry so as not to be noticed by others.
In front of the mansion gate, I unexpectedly met Su Yanshu and Su Zhiyi.
"Shengsheng, where are you going?" Su Yanshu asked with a smile.
Yu Shengsheng hadn't seen Su Zhiyi for many days and thought she looked haggard because of the broken engagement and the loss of the Confucian sword. But when she saw her today, she did not look bad and even had a little rouge on her face, which made her look even more rosy.
Yu Shengsheng retracted her gaze and said calmly, "Take the painting and consign it."
Su Yanshu smiled lightly: "Second brother, would you like to take a look?"
“No need,” Yu Shengsheng refused, “I’m not worthy of the Second Young Master’s eyes.”
Su Yanshu didn't force it: "Tell my second brother that I don't have money. You don't have to work so hard."
Su Zhiyi suddenly said, "Sister, please be careful when you go out on the street today. There will be many people posting the results."
Yu Shengsheng could tell that her tone emphasized the word "announce the results".
