Chapter 193: A jealous man is the most likely to find fault with everything
Su Wan sighed helplessly. Why was he here again?
She had clearly noticed the Countess's displeasure with her, and she thought she was thinking about her son, looking at her as if she were a vixen.
She even said at the banquet that the future daughter-in-law of her Ningyuan Earl's Mansion must come from a scholarly family.
He looked down on these merchants in his words and deeds, but shamelessly accepted the gold, silver and jewelry they gave him.
She even regretted giving her such a nice screen.
Although he complained in his heart, Su Wan still turned around and greeted him with a smile.
"Young Master, do you have anything else to do?"
He held a box in his hand and stuffed it directly into Su Wan's hand.
"For you."
Su Wan didn't know what was inside, but she didn't dare to take it.
"Young Master, I cannot accept anything without merit. I cannot take your things. Please take them back!"
However, the young master took a few steps back:
"Once something is given to you, you can't take it back. Whether you like it or not, I hope you like it."
After saying this, he turned around and went back to the Earl's Mansion, looking back every few steps.
His action once again caused the ladies and daughters at the door of the Earl's Mansion to point and criticize him.
Seeing the attitude of the young master towards her, those rich ladies and celebrities received a lot of cold stares at her at the banquet.
She is really innocent and has attracted so much hatred for no reason.
"Wanwan, are you very familiar with the young uncle?" Su Chen asked.
"I'm not familiar with him, we just met once." Su Wan replied.
Su Chen helped her get on the carriage and said with a smile:
"Our Wanwan has grown up."
He knew how outstanding his sister was, so it was understandable that she had a few suitors. Even the young master of the Earl's Mansion had to fall at her feet.
Su Chen was very proud.
Yang Qingqing sat in the carriage and could finally breathe a sigh of relief. All her nerves relaxed. Just now in the Earl's Mansion, she was afraid of saying something wrong.
"Wanwan, please don't take me to occasions like this in the future. I can't stand it. I don't feel comfortable at all." She was really scared.
"Also, the way those people looked at you was really rude. They thought we had some improper thoughts about the young master. If you ask me, Young Master Jiang is much better than him and much more handsome."
Yang Qingqing spoke directly, but when she talked about Jiang Yu, Su Wan's ears turned red again.
"Cousin Qingqing~"
She didn't deny it, but said in a slightly coquettish tone, asking her not to say any more.
She did not deny what Yang Qingqing said. Jiang Yu was much better than him. Whether in status, strength, or appearance, he was far better than the young master.
Su Wan would not think that she was not worthy of Jiang Yu or anything like that. Anyway, when her brothers became successful in the future, her status would also rise.
Who knows who will look down on whom in the future.
"Look quickly, what did the young uncle give you?" Yang Qingqing became curious about what was in the box again.
Su Wan followed her wishes and opened the small box, which contained a pair of earrings with kingfisher feather craftsmanship.
This jadeite inlay technique is also very precious because its craftsmanship is very complicated and only the hairpin ladies in the palace have such skills.
"These earrings are just average. Young Master has really bad taste."
The color of kingfisher feathers is mostly blue-green. Yang Qingqing didn't know how precious it was. Moreover, kingfisher feathers are usually worn by real nobles to represent their status.
After all, he is an earl and a member of the noble family, and he has seen some good things.
There was a note hidden under the pair of kingfisher earrings. Su Wan unfolded the note and saw that it was written by her uncle, inviting her to go boating on the lake in three days.
Su Wan frowned, thinking, could it be that this young uncle really likes her?
She pretended not to see the note. Besides, he didn't invite her in front of everyone, so it wouldn't be a big deal if she didn't go.
By then, the young uncle should be able to understand her attitude. The refusal is so obvious. It would be disrespectful for him to stick to her with his status.
When he returned home, Su's mother and the others were still in the workshop. Only Jiang Yu was lying on a recliner under the hibiscus tree in the backyard, taking a nap.
This guy is quite leisurely and lives a very comfortable life in the Su family.
Hearing some movement, he recognized Su Wan's footsteps, and lazily opened his eyes to watch the three of them walking towards him step by step.
The first thing Su Wan did after sitting down was to pour a sip of tea, then grabbed the plates of exquisite snacks on the table that Jiang Yu had asked the guards to buy and started to eat.
"Why, you went to the Earl's Mansion and came back, and the Earl's Mansion didn't let you eat enough?"
Jiang Yuming knew that there was nothing delicious to eat in such occasions and that women would not eat too much due to etiquette, but he was still teasing Su Wan.
"Come on, it's not as delicious as what I eat at home. Also, thank you for preparing that screen for me. It successfully made me the best focus today."
Su Wan stuffed the cake into his mouth while talking, and his unclear speech was quite amusing.
Jiang Yu poured her another cup of tea and handed it to her:
"Eat slowly. If you want something else, I'll ask someone to buy it for you."
"No need. It's already afternoon and dinner will be soon. I'll just have it as a snack." Su Wan refused. Besides, it would be too troublesome to ask someone to buy it now.
Yang Qingqing was almost going crazy shipping the couple, watching the two interacting with an auntie smile on her face.
Jiang Yu glanced at the box next to Su Wan, and took it over to take a look.
When he opened the box, he saw a pair of kingfisher earrings inside. Others might not understand, but he must have. These earrings were rarely found in ordinary merchants' homes, and even if they did, they would never be given as gifts.
Su Wan didn't know the celebrities in Xiangzhou, so where did she get these emerald earrings?
He picked up the note inside and took a look at it, and the smile on his face immediately changed.
His slightly narrowed eyes made his jade-like smile look extremely creepy.
Su Wan snatched the box back and muttered:
"You're such a jerk, why don't you say hello?"
"Do you know the legitimate son of Earl Ningyuan?"
Why had he never heard anyone tell him when Su Wan met the son of Earl Ningyuan?
"I don't know him, we only met once. Do you still remember the man who accidentally stepped on me in the Moonlit West Tower that night? He was the legitimate son of Earl Ning Yuan. These emerald earrings must have been given to me by him as an apology!"
"When did the son of Earl Ningyuan become so servile? How could such a small matter make him care about it for so long? He even gave you such expensive earrings and invited you to go boating?"
Jiang Yu's hand holding the cup turned pale, and the impatient tone that he tried hard to suppress showed how jealous he was at the moment.
He remembered that he was the legitimate son of Earl Ningyuan.
"How would I know? I'm not familiar with him. Besides, I didn't agree to go boating with him. He didn't tell me in person, so I'll just pretend I didn't see it."
Su Wan knew that this guy was being sarcastic and was probably jealous, and thought to himself that you should not be angry after I said this.
Who knew that this jealous man could find fault with everything?
