Chapter 416: A Beautiful Girl in a Golden House
Yes, Duke Jiang was also famous for being a wife-loving maniac, but he was also very hypocritical and would never favor a concubine over his wife. Although Ning Wei became a concubine, she did not gain any advantage. Everything was done according to the rules of a concubine.
Moreover, Duke Jiang did not value the son she gave birth to very much. His words that a daughter-in-law should be pampered only applied to Jiang Yu's wife.
Jiang Yu is a legitimate son, and Su Wan is also a noble princess. The two are a perfect match. It can be seen from the fact that he does not remember whether the illegitimate son has married or not that his heart is completely biased towards his eldest son.
Every time Jiang Yan complained that he was biased, he would retort, who made Jiang Yu grow up without a mother's love?
This sentence also made Jiang Yan silent.
Everyone in Kyoto envies Su Wan for being a winner in life. His five brothers are all outstanding and promising. He doesn't have to deal with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. His father-in-law is also partial to his family.
When going to the temple to worship Buddha, Su Wan called his eldest sister-in-law and Sun Ling'er, as well as his eldest brother and second brother. His third brother also went. When his fourth brother saw that his eldest brother and others had gone, he wanted to go too.
Su Wan invited Su Yi. Seeing that they all went, Su Yi felt a little out of place if he didn't go, so he decided to go too.
Because of the betrothal matter, Su Wan had no time to pay attention to his fifth brother and his little servant.
But she always felt something was wrong, so she chose a time to catch the enemy off guard.
At that time, Su Yi was painting in the study, and Zhu Shu was standing beside him, grinding ink and mixing colors for him.
The desk was right next to the window. When Su Wan came, he could just see Su Yi painting seriously, while Zhu Shu was watching him painting intently and didn't notice Su Wan coming at all.
She sneaked in quietly and asked the servants who were cleaning and trimming the plants to keep quiet. She then tiptoed to the window with Liuyun and Liuying and observed secretly.
Sometimes, once curiosity is aroused, it cannot be suppressed.
She always felt that this Zhu Shu looked a little familiar, and his temperament was not right.
Because there is a large area of bamboo behind Fifth Brother's yard, the air is filled with the fresh scent of bamboo.
She leaned on the windowsill, sticking a little bit of her head out, and got a clear view.
Zhu Shu originally had his head down, but he always felt that someone was looking at him.
Out of instinct, she raised her head and looked out the window. Su Wan quickly hid, but she didn't know whether she had discovered him.
At this moment, she couldn't calm down for a long time.
OMG, what did she see?
This bamboo book seems to be, seems to be, the daughter of Mr. Qi'an.
She had only seen her a few times in Xiangzhou a few years ago. At that time, Mr. Qi'an's daughter was only about thirteen years old. Now three years have passed. When her fifth brother brought her back that night, it was too dark and she didn't recognize her.
But this time it was broad daylight, and there was no way she would make a mistake.
Mr. Qi An’s surname was Luo, and his daughter seemed to be named Luo Xizhu.
But, why was Miss Luo in Kyoto? Moreover, she was disguised as a man, acting as a servant to the Fifth Brother. The two of them went in and out together every day, and even ate and lived in the same courtyard.
This, this, this...it's hard not to think too much!
Su Wan stood against the wall, holding her heart, feeling a little excited.
I feel like Fifth Brother is having a lot of fun, he's even doing cosplay?
Little did he know that Su Yi was already standing by the window. He tilted his head and looked at Su Wan, who looked like a thief, with a meaningful smile.
Su Wan was still immersed in his own fantasy world, while Liuyun and Liuying had already lowered their heads guiltily.
"Wanwan, what are you doing sneaking around like that?"
Su Wan finally reacted after hearing the sound and was startled. She quickly stood up.
When Su Yi smiles, he still gives people a feeling of seeing through everything. He squints his eyes when he smiles, and looks harmless, but he also feels like a sinister person.
He had known that this girl would come to inquire, and he was prepared to be discovered by her.
But it’s been almost a month now before she remembered to inquire about this matter. She and Jiang Yu had so much fun outside some time ago that she thought she had forgotten about it!
Sure enough, Su Yi still understood her, and her gossip came late but arrived.
"Fifth brother, you've been acting sneaky lately, haven't you? You've even learned to hide a mistress in a golden house?"
Su Wan knew his secret and asked back boldly.
Su Yi heard this and chuckled softly.
But when the beautiful lady in the room heard the words "a beautiful lady hidden in a golden house", her heart started beating fast.
She knew that Su Wan recognized her.
"If I had known you were curious, I wouldn't have tried to hide it from you. But haven't you been enjoying yourself lately? I didn't want to bother you."
He was saying that she and Jiang Yu were too affectionate, and Su Wan's face turned red.
She doesn't agree with the phrase "being so happy that one forgets to return to one's homeland".
"Okay, what's going on?" Su Wan walked straight into the study.
Luo Xizhu saw Su Wan coming in and knew she could no longer hide it, so she took the initiative to give her a lady's greeting:
"Meet the Princess!"
Having been in the Su family for a month, she naturally knew Su Wan's current identity. She was a princess and she was a commoner.
"Miss Luo, long time no see."
Su Wan accurately identified her identity.
After learning more about it, I found out that Luo Xizhu came to Kyoto alone and stayed in the inn.
She only knew Su Yi in Kyoto, so she found a way to meet him.
Su Yi felt that it was unsafe for her to live in the inn alone, and originally wanted to bring her back openly, but Luo Xizhu was embarrassed because she was not familiar with the Su family, let alone had never met them. She felt burdened to just come to their house like this.
It seems that he is also a social anxiety patient.
Su Yi respected her choice, so he chose this method and let her pretend to be a servant and follow him.
Su Wan got to know the gossip again. Miss Luo came to Kyoto alone and didn't know anyone except Su Yi. Isn't it obvious that she came here for him?
The things between men and women are easy to understand.
It was obvious that Miss Luo was thinking about her fifth brother. Now the Su family was in Kyoto and would never go back. If she took the initiative, she might miss him in this life, so she came to Kyoto.
However, she felt that she was very ashamed for taking such an initiative, and was afraid that the Su family would look down on her behavior, so she didn't want to let the Su family know.
Little did they know that the Su family didn't care about these things. If Su's mother heard about this, she would probably smile so hard that her mouth would be crooked. After all, it was the girl who was chasing after her son. Seeing that another son's life event was solved, she was so happy that she wanted to worship Luo Xizhu.
The Su family is well-known for loving their daughters-in-law, and Su's mother is also a very easy-going mother-in-law. There will be no conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future.
Su Yi has already sent a letter to Mr. Qi An, telling him not to worry about the young lady's safety and that he will treat her well.
Su Yi has always been prudent in his work and conduct, and Mr. Qi An trusts him very much. Besides, how could he not know what his daughter is thinking?
Since she wants to fulfill her wish, let her do it!
