She remembered her fourth sister telling her that her uncle had already married and started a family here.
So the person who's here so late at night must be my aunt.
"Honey, this is my little niece, Lewa."
This was the first time Anmangu had seen Anle since her 'death'. He had visited Anle twice before when he was at the An family's house but had not been able to meet her.
The kid looked a bit older than he'd imagined. He seemed quite clever and mischievous, but the way he spoke did have a mature air about him.
Su Mi'er smiled and immediately took off a blue jade carving of a peace lock from her neck and put it on Anle's neck.
"Auntie didn't know you were coming today, and didn't prepare any special gift for you. Please don't mind that I've worn this before, Lewa."
Green Branch frowned but said nothing.
This jade piece was given to the lady by her brother when she got married. It's such a waste to give such an expensive gift so casually to a little child like her.
Why not just spend a little more money to buy him a pure gold one to wear? Why give away such a fine piece of jade?
Anle was about to pick it, intending to say that she couldn't accept such a valuable gift, but before she could speak, Anmangu saw through her thoughts and laughed heartily as he pressed down on Anle's hand.
"Since your aunt gave it to you, you should wear it."
Anle blinked, paused, and then withdrew her hand without refusing.
Oh well, I'll give her aunt a gift in return when I have the chance. This thing is valuable in other people's eyes, but it's not really valuable to her.
"Lele, why did you come over in the middle of the night? It's not safe at night. I should have asked your uncle to pick you up." Su Mi'er scolded Anle.
Anle smiled and shook her head. "It's nothing. My friends brought me here and left only at the door." Seeing that Su Mier's gaze lingered on He Yusheng for two seconds, she explained and introduced him.
“This is my friend, He Yusheng. I was worried about going out alone, so I specifically asked him to come with me.”
"Have you had dinner yet? Why don't we quickly make you something to eat and then you can rest? We can talk about everything tomorrow. You must be tired after traveling all the way from Hongcheng." Su Mi'er turned her head and instructed Lüzhi.
"Green Branch, go and tell the people downstairs to get things ready, boil some hot water, and have the kitchen prepare some food."
"Auntie, there's no need for that. We've already eaten, so we'll just boil some water to wash up and rest." Anle was a little surprised that her aunt was so hospitable.
The person has a very good personality.
At least on the surface, that seems to be the case.
They didn't look down on them because they came from poor peasant families. It seemed that the grandfather was living quite well here, as he looked to be in good health and was being treated to good food and drink.
Su Mi'er shoved Lüzhi, "Go quickly."
Green Branch left reluctantly, her expressionless face looking somewhat sullen.
Anle rolled her eyes. Her aunt had a good personality, but the maidservant beside her seemed rather arrogant and looked down on people.
He seems like a restless person.
At least that was her first impression. She habitually forms a first impression of people and then uses that first impression to make a simple judgment about them before deciding whether to approach or avoid them.
Her first impressions are rarely wrong.
That evening, Anle took a shower and went to bed early. She was quite tired from traveling these past few days, and her small body couldn't take it. Besides, she had arranged for Yan Qingxue and the others to come to her door early the next morning, so she had to get up early.
As for An Yi's matter, she can settle accounts with her third brother properly after she has finished entertaining Yan Qingxue and Young Master Bai tomorrow.
I thought he had lofty ambitions and came here to start a business, but it turns out he just came here to loaf around, waste his youth, and squander his life.
Anle was actually a little angry. He wanted to slap An Yi on the spot to wake him up because of An Yi's attitude towards life and his increasingly spoiled attitude.
However, seeing his listless state when he came in, I felt a little unmotivated.
The next day, Yan Qingxue and Bai Naijiong came to visit. Su Mier received them, but An Mangu had to go to the palace to work because he had official business to attend to.
Su Mier was impeccable in her dealings with people, being polite and warm, at least to the point that no one could find fault with her.
An Dalin was extremely satisfied with his daughter-in-law. He felt as if a pie had fallen from the sky and landed in his house. It was as if his ancestors' graves were emitting auspicious smoke that his son was able to marry such a virtuous and talented daughter-in-law.
An Dalin's opinion of Su Mier was that his son was not good enough for her. It was like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung that such a good girl had married into his family.
Just by standing here, Su Mier looks like a lady from a prominent family.
In particular, she appears to have a gentle and kind nature, and she treats everyone in the household very well.
Su Mi'er was receiving Yan Qingxue and Bai Naijiong. She could tell that they were not comfortable with her there, so she exchanged a few pleasantries and told them to eat and have fun on their own and go to find An Dalin in the back.
Since returning last night, Anle had only exchanged a few pleasantries before resting. She hadn't even had a chance to mention that she was there to pick up An Yi, so Su Mi'er was unaware that An Yi was being taken back. She simply thought that her little niece had come to visit, get acquainted with the place, and have some fun.
Because of An Yi's matter yesterday, Su Mi'er decided to discuss the matter she had mentioned to An Dalin properly.
If An Dalin is willing, then she will immediately inform her family to arrange a place for this troublesome nephew.
This will save him from having nothing to do every day.
Upon hearing Su Mier's meaning, An Dalin was taken aback at first, and then hesitated.
"Sending him over there to be tempered? That's a good thing. I was thinking I wouldn't stay here for long and would leave with him in a couple of days."
"In that case, why not arrange for this child to go there first? We can't let him sit idle; it'll be good for him to get some experience."
“Then I’ll let my family know and send my nephew over there right now. When you want to bring him back, Dad, I’ll bring him back. It won’t be a problem.”
"Have you mentioned your desire to leave to Brother Xiao? What does Brother Xiao mean?"
The "Brother Xiao" that Su Mier mentioned refers to An Mangu, who changed his name to Yu Xiao after faking his death and changing his identity.
When An Dalin first heard that his son had changed his surname, he felt quite bad. However, he later came to terms with it. As long as the person was still alive, it didn't matter what he was called.
