"Pfft!" Su Qingran laughed out loud. She immediately covered her mouth for fear of being heard. She raised her eyes and looked at Chu Yifei. "You speak with the same accent as my grandfather, but you are not much older than me. You are mature beyond your years. After all, you have been on the battlefield."
Just as he was about to say something, Chu Yifei heard footsteps coming towards him and quickly stood up. "Someone is coming. I'm leaving first. Be careful from now on."
After saying that, he jumped up and climbed out of the window, which made Su Qingran's eyes widen.
I feel like this guy has the potential to be a thief.
Not long after he left, the door of the ancestral hall was pushed open and a young girl came in.
At this moment, Su Qingran had already knelt down obediently, with his back still straight.
The girl was her elder sister Su Qinghui. She stood beside Su Qingran, looking down at him with a mocking look on her face.
"Second sister! How does it feel to kneel in the ancestral hall? You are a concubine's daughter, why don't you say a few words to make me happy? You are ugly to begin with, am I wrong?"
"Sister Di is right." Su Qingran replied calmly, "It's just that I don't like flattery and hypocrisy. Appearance is dispensable to me."
In the eyes of outsiders, Su Qinghui is a good-looking person who is a must-have for the mistress of the house. Only in front of Su Qingran will she reveal her selfish, cold, vicious and cruel side.
Chu Yifei actually did not go far, but hid in the corner behind the ancestral hall, looking at the people coming in through the window.
The eldest sister? Is this person Su Qinghui?
The heartless and ungrateful woman my sister mentioned, who didn’t even care about her own children?
As expected, he had a mean and sarcastic look, far inferior to the little girl.
The little girl has medical skills, and appearance is indeed not the most important thing to her.
"Dispensable? Hahaha! Hahaha! What a joke!" Su Qinghui laughed so hard that she fell forward and backward, pointing at Su Qingran who had a face full of pimples, "Who would look down on someone like you? I think only the doorman can."
Su Qingran didn't bother to pay attention to Su Qinghui's ridicule, and continued to kneel straight. The eldest sister always liked to use her status to make a fuss, and she was always arrogant and domineering at home.
She didn't want to say anything, lest she get angry if she won.
"You have nothing to say? Hahaha! Su Qingran! If my mother respects you, you are the second daughter of the general's mansion. If she doesn't respect you, you are a bastard born of a bastard.
I am different. I will always be the daughter of a high-ranking general. In the future, I will marry into a noble family and become the mistress of a household."
Su Qingran smiled faintly: "Then congratulations, elder sister."
Su Qinghui snorted arrogantly, feeling smug: "Do you know which family is matchmaking for me? It's okay to tell you, if nothing unexpected happens, my husband is Chu Yifei, the eldest son of the Huguogong Mansion."
If she hadn't just met Chu Yifei, Su Qingran might have really believed what Su Qinghui said. Chu Yifei had come just now and told her about this, but Su Qingran's expression didn't change much, and she remained calm.
"Congratulations, sister, for becoming the next Duke's wife."
Chu Yifei outside heard this and covered his mouth and laughed.
The little girl is really patient. Even when people come to bully her, she remains calm and composed.
Although she knew it was too early to say this and nothing had happened yet, Su Qingran wanted to irritate Su Qinghui and had no intention of correcting her.
Su Qinghui raised her chin and asked sarcastically, "Are you envious? Are you jealous? Do you want it very much? What should you do? You are born in a lowly family and you will never be able to climb up in your life?"
Su Qingran turned his head and looked at Su Qinghui, and said coldly: "Not necessarily."
"Maybe not? What do you mean? Don't you hope for something good from me? Su Qingran! Are you jealous of me?"
Su Qinghui was unhappy. She came to Su Qingran to show off, not to listen to her discouraging words.
What she wanted to hear was flattery, but Su Qingran was like a fool and never flattered her.
"No, I'm not jealous, I'm telling the truth." Su Qingran said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "The Duke of the Guardian's Mansion is a first-class family in the capital, and the General's Mansion is good, but compared to their family, it's still a long way behind.
There are more than one legitimate daughter in the capital. If you want to marry into the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion smoothly, it is useless to just talk. "
Chu Yifei: "......"
What does the little girl want to do? Give Su Qinghui some advice? Will she be fooled?
Su Qingran answered with certainty: She would.
She knew her elder sister too well. She appeared dignified and virtuous in front of outsiders, with the demeanor of a lady from a noble family, but deep down she was narrow-minded and selfish.
Regardless of whether she will accept the challenge or not, she has already given the challenge. Whether she can accept it depends on her ability.
Su Qinghui understood what Su Qingran meant after thinking about it. She agreed with her in her heart, but refused to show it on her face. She snorted coldly and turned away.
This concubine sister is an eyesore. I just gave her a heads up. Let’s just let her go tonight!
Since her aunt died, her father never returned to the capital, no matter how much her mother begged him in letters.
Su Qingran's biological mother was the one her father had hidden in his heart. Even though her mother was the principal wife, she was no match for her. Her mother regretted that she had tortured the concubine so harshly that she had driven her to death.
If that person was still alive, there was no way my father would not come back to the capital. He kept Su Qingran as a lure to lure my father back.
If even she were gone, perhaps my father would divorce my mother.
If that were the case, her marriage would be difficult.
It was only after the mother begged, threatened and induced her father that he gave up the idea.
She wanted to marry into a wealthy family to support her mother and force her father to return home as soon as possible.
When that time comes, Su Qingran will be hastily dismissed. Judging from the fact that her father has ignored her for so many years, she has no weight in his heart.
As soon as Su Qinghui left, Chu Yifei climbed in through the window, scaring Su Qingran so much that she looked at him nervously with a flushed face.
"You, you, why haven't you left yet?"
Chu Yifei was still sitting on the futon he had just sat on, looking at the little girl: "Why are you giving Su Qinghui advice? Let her pester me?"
Su Qingran lowered her head: "I want her to seek medical help from all directions and ruin her reputation. Do you think I'm terrible?"
"No." Chu Yifei shook his head and touched the top of the little girl's head. "You have your own difficulties. I understand."
"The Duke of the Guardian's Mansion and the Mighty General's Mansion are marrying off. If the object is an unfavored concubine's daughter, the superior will not be suspicious. But if it is a legitimate daughter, it will make people feel very uncomfortable."
When she reminded him, Chu Yifei understood instantly.
The Duke of Huguo's Mansion guards the northwest, and the mighty general guards the southwest.
Although the military force he has is less than half of that of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, the marriage between the two families is equivalent to merging the northwest and southwest borders together. If the emperor knew about it, he would definitely not agree.
"The little girl has really grown up. She thinks a lot. She wants to take this opportunity to vent her anger, right? She's really capable."
Su Qingran looked at Chu Yifei with burning eyes: "You really don't blame me?"
