"My cousin asked me to come over, I'm afraid he wants to treat me to a meal."
Thinking of what Su Mu said last time, Xu Wanyan smiled.
"That's great, young lady. I'll go and prepare a gift."
Xu Wanyan nodded. Qiao Yun is becoming more and more reliable now.
Under the pretext of hiring a doctor for Xu Maocai, Xu Wanyan easily left the Xu Mansion with Qiao Yun.
The gatekeepers knew that the second young lady had gone to call a doctor for the master. When they saw her hurried out, they were so moved that they burst into tears.
"The master has loved the eldest lady the most over the years, but now you see that the eldest lady is completely useless."
"That's right. Now that the Second Young Lady is in charge, our hard work will be rewarded."
"Yes, the red envelopes we received today are quite large. My wife is very happy."
“…”
Xu Wanyan naturally didn't know how others evaluated her. She only knew that the weaker one was, the easier it was for them to be bullied.
"Miss, we're here."
Xu Wanyan lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage. Su Mu was already waiting there.
Seeing his rosy face, Xu Wanyan felt much better.
"Cousin, congratulations! I didn't expect to be accepted by Mr. Xia Hou so soon."
Su Mu stepped forward, eyes full of gratitude, "All this is thanks to my cousin. After my cousin finished talking about this, I immediately reviewed my lessons and went to Lishan Academy early this morning."
"I didn't expect Mr. Xiahou to be so easy to talk to."
Xu Wanyan couldn't help but remind him, "Mr. Xiahou is not easy to talk to. He is a famous strict teacher. The fact that my cousin was kept by him shows that he is very talented."
Su Mu felt a little embarrassed and started to blush. "How can it be as good as my cousin said?"
"Cousin, don't be modest."
She looked at Qiao Yun and said, "Qiao Yun, give the gift to your cousin."
"yes!"
Qiao Yun walked up to Su Mu holding a dark red brocade box with gold embossing.
"Cousin, this is..."
"Open it and take a look."
Su Mu carefully opened the brocade box, and inside was a painting.
After unfolding it, Su Mu was stunned. "Cousin, Mr. Mo Bai's..."
Before Su Mu could finish, Xu Wanyan put her jade finger to her lips and made a gesture of silence.
Su Mu immediately understood, looked at it lovingly for a few seconds, and then put it away in a brocade box.
"Cousin, please come in quickly. I have ordered a table of delicious food at Xinghualou today and I am waiting for you to come and enjoy it."
Xu Wanyan nodded and followed him in.
"Cousin, this calligraphy and painting..."
Xu Wanyan looked at him, knowing that he must be confused, so she explained: "I got this calligraphy and painting by chance."
Then, she said seriously, "Cousin, you're not in the capital, so you might not know that Mr. Mo Bai's calligraphy and paintings are worth a fortune, so it's better not to show them to others."
Although Su Mu has been in Baishan, he has heard his father mention Mr. Mo Bai's name several times.
Knowing that this person was very talented, many princes and nobles loved his calligraphy and paintings.
Unfortunately, he always liked to travel around the world, and very few of his calligraphy and paintings have been passed down.
You can imagine how precious it is.
Immediately, Su Mu said seriously: "Cousin, don't worry, I will definitely keep it well."
Xu Wanyan didn't say anything else.
It was only after she saw Su Mu's letter that she remembered to give him this calligraphy.
She has been copying Mr. Mo Bai's calligraphy for more than a few months. Su Mu's calligraphy is not satisfactory, so it is most suitable for her to copy it.
Besides, this calligraphy was obtained from Xu Wanqing, so she will never be able to find it out.
When she arrived at the flower hall, Xu Wanyan saw an acquaintance.
"cousin"
Xu Wanyan took the initiative to say hello.
Su Yunuo didn't expect that this inconspicuous cousin actually had this ability, and she couldn't help but feel a little more favorable towards her.
"Thank you for helping my cousin, cousin."
"Cousin, you're too distant. After all, we are family."
Xu Wanyan sat down gracefully.
Su Mu and Su Yunuo felt a little ashamed. As members of the Su family, they had never cared about this cousin.
"Today is my cousin's big day, why don't you sit down?"
The girl at the table smiled brightly, like the bright sunshine, which made Su Mu and Su Yunuo panic for a moment.
"My cousin is right. Let's sit down together."
"well."
The three of them sat down and said some words of blessing.
"Wanyan, I, I heard before that you didn't have a good life in the Xu family."
Xu Wanyan wasn't the least bit surprised by Su Yunuo's words. She looked at them with clear eyes and said, "It's all in the past."
These four short words made Su Mu and Su Yunuo realize how difficult it had been over the years.
Even though both their parents were alive, it was sometimes difficult, not to mention that Xu Wanyan lost her mother when she was born.
Su Mu might not know this at the border, but she had long heard in the capital that Xu Wanqing was the most favored member of the Xu family.
Moreover, Xu Wanqing often appeared in various occasions in gorgeous clothes.
Su Mu took a deep breath, looked at Xu Wanyan and promised: "Wanyan, in the final analysis, our Su family has been ashamed of you over the years. I... feel deeply guilty for not caring about you."
Xu Wanyan looked at them. In her previous life, she had blamed the Su family.
But, in this life, she knew that she was the only one she could rely on.
No matter how powerful others are, you can't rely on them for your whole life.
"Cousin, cousin, don't blame yourselves. I'm doing fine in the Xu family."
"How is that possible? Do you think I don't know Xu Wanqing? She used to flaunt herself in public, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was the most favored of the Xu family."
