Chapter 6 Illusion
He Yanxiu, "..."
He Yanxiu coughed lightly and said, "Some things can be left to the servants."
In other words, it can be done.
Su Yujin smiled with curved eyebrows, "Thank you, Second Master!"
Su Yujin helped He Yanxiu draw the curtain and watched him get on the carriage. She still had a smile on her face and said, "Second Master, take care."
"Yeah." He Yanxiu nodded.
After a moment, he lifted the small curtain on the carriage window and said, "If you really encounter difficulties, you can write a letter and have someone deliver it to the mansion. You don't have to endure it."
"Thank you, Second Master." Su Yujin bowed again.
Upon hearing this, Xing'an couldn't help but glance sideways, and even after the carriage had gone a long way away, he turned back and looked again and again.
Since the carriage went a few steps away, Su Yujin disappeared, and now only people could be seen coming and going at the entrance of the alley.
Why does it feel like Miss Su doesn't seem to have any attachment to the Second Master? Maybe I'm wrong...
After all, she is a concubine. Her life, property and future all depend on the Second Master. She needs to cling to the Second Master's big tree tightly. Miss Su doesn't seem stupid and should know this.
He Yanxiu raised one side of his face in the carriage.
The Su Yujin just now had a slightly different temperament from when I met her half a year ago.
It seems much more dignified and generous.
Looking at his eyes, there was less greed and more respect and distance.
But then again, times have changed and people will always change. What's more, he had only met Su Yujin a few times in the past and only had a superficial understanding of her temperament and character.
And this Su Yujin...
The reason why he wanted to buy Su Yujin was because he was still single at this age. There were rumors about him being a homosexual, and he was unwilling to hastily marry just to clear his name. He happened to hear that there was a prostitute with extraordinary looks and many talents in Wanhua Tower in Yong'an City, so he made a special trip and got the matter done with great fanfare, thus stopping the gossips and making his grandmother worry less.
The original plan was to support Su Yujin for a few years, then return her indenture contract, give her some silver as compensation, and help her change her name. Then she could marry like an ordinary girl and live a prosperous life, which would be a good destination for her.
Now that Su Yujin is willing to be self-reliant, she is a little more distant from him, which is also beneficial to her.
He Yanxiu thought so and nodded slightly.
"Please drive the carriage faster."
"Yes." Xing'an agreed.
"After returning to the capital, tell the servants in the mansion that if there is a letter sent from Qinghe, it should be sent directly to Wangzhu Pavilion without letting others know."
"yes……"
Xing'an scratched the back of his head.
Why did I have the illusion that the Second Master cared a lot about Miss Su? -- When Su Yujin returned to the yard, Mother Liu was "criticizing" Ai Cao.
"You have a really powerful mouth. You dare to say anything."
This is obviously about Ai Cao squeezing out others, but in fact it is a disguised reprimand for Erye.
Ai Cao curled her lips and said, "To be a maid, you have to be good at it. Aunt Guo once praised me for my sharp tongue, which is as sharp as a knife and easy to use."
"So Concubine Guo was punished by the Madam all day long, and even the Master didn't want to see her in the end?" Mama Liu's eyes almost rolled up to the sky. "That Concubine Guo came from a brothel. Apart from her good looks, she has no other merits. You learned her ways from her, but you really learned something serious!"
Having her sore spot touched, Ai Cao just curled her lips and couldn't say another word.
"Little girl, even if I beg you, you must control your mouth next time and don't say anything. It's a good thing that the Second Master is kind and doesn't want to argue with you. If it happened to someone else, I'm afraid he would have dragged you out and slapped you in the face."
"If the person we meet next time is not the Second Master but an outsider, and the other person gets angry and starts arguing, wouldn't that cause trouble for the girl?"
"Besides, if the Second Master doesn't bother with you today, but secretly holds a grudge against you, blaming you for not being able to properly discipline the servants, and becomes estranged from you, what will happen if you don't come here again in the future?"
Hearing these words, Ai Cao panicked, "I... this..."
She was at a loss and bit her lower lip tightly. Her eyes turned completely red, and her originally watery eyes instantly swelled up like apricots.
Seeing Ai Cao's expression, Mother Liu sighed, "I know you're worried that the girl is alone here and might be bullied for no reason, so you want to be more powerful so that others will be more afraid of you. But next time, you should consider the occasion and know the situation, and not say anything so sarcastic."
"Yes." Ai Cao nodded heavily, "I'll remember that."
"Just remember this. You really can't do this again in the future." Mother Liu gave her some instructions. "When the girl comes back later, you should go and apologize to her..."
Su Yujin heard all these words clearly as soon as she stepped into the room.
It must be said that Mother Liu is indeed mature and steady in her approach to things.
Ai Cao is sometimes a little impatient, but she is straightforward and true to her nature, and most importantly, she is loyal to her.
These two people are really good.
Su Yujin became more and more determined to get the indentures of the two people.
In order to avoid embarrassment for the two of them, Su Yujin deliberately pushed the courtyard door, causing the door knocker to hit the door nose heavily, making a crisp "ding-dong" sound.
"The girl is back."
Mother Liu and Ai Cao hurried over.
Ai Cao even poked his head out and asked anxiously, "Second Master is leaving just like that?"
She didn't even stay for dinner. Could it be that, as Mama Liu said, she had become estranged from the girl because of her sharp words? "I just finished my work outside, and the Second Master had to rush back to Beijing to report. I couldn't stay any longer, so I left first." Su Yujin smiled, "But before he left, the Second Master gave me some silver for my daily expenses."
"The Second Master came and didn't blame me for setting up a stall to sell wontons and noodles with soybean paste. He also gave me some silver. This is a great thing. Let's celebrate today. Mother Liu will go to Fuyunlou to pack some dishes and bring back a pot of hot wine. We will have a good lunch at noon."
"Yes, I'll go right away." Mother Liu took the money and went out happily.
The second master came, did not blame the girl, and even gave her money.
What does this mean?
This shows that the Second Master has her daughter in his heart! Qinghe is far from the capital, and the Second Master doesn't come often. As long as she has it in her heart, her daughter's future is bright.
This is indeed just as the girl said, it is a great joy! The wrinkles on Mama Liu's face almost turned into golden chrysanthemums from smiling, and she walked with a breeze. When she went to Fuyunlou to order food, she was even more generous and directly ordered several expensive signature dishes.
The girl has been wronged for so many days, she needs to have a good meal! Ai Cao arranged the tables, chairs, bowls and plates, preparing for Mother Liu to come back with the dishes and arrange the plates. After she finished her work, she came to Su Yujin, lowered her head, and whispered, "Miss, maid, maid..."
