The two best friends were talking in the dining room when they suddenly heard a noise coming from the yard.
Xiaoying shouted loudly: "I don't care who you are, you can't hug me!"
Upon hearing this, Li Sisi quickly wiped her hands and stood up: "What's going on? Who's causing trouble again?"
Li Nian was calm: "It should be Xiao Yunya. She came here before and wanted to hug Jinhe, but I didn't let her."
Li Sisi was worried and walked outside while wiping her greasy hands with a handkerchief.
In the courtyard.
Xiaoying held Jinhe and backed away repeatedly: "Big sister said, I won't let you hold me!"
Xiao Yunya's delicate face wrinkled in anger. "I'm her aunt! You lowly slave have no respect for your parents. I'm going to tell mother and punish you severely!"
She approached Xiaoying again, and said in a haughty tone: "Bitch, why don't you give me my niece!"
Li Sisi shouted, "Xiaoying, carry Jinhe into the house."
"Okay, second sister." Xiaoying responded and quickly carried Jinhe into the house.
Xiao Yunya glared at the two sisters-in-law standing at the door and angrily demanded, "What do you mean? I'm Xiao Jinhe's biological aunt, how could I possibly harm her? What's wrong with me hugging her?"
Li Sisi: "I won't let you hold me."
Xiao Yunya snorted angrily: "Who cares? From now on, if you want me to hug you, I won't hug you!"
Li Sisi made a "tsk" sound and ignored her.
His eyes fell on the girl in a golden blue dress standing next to Xiao Yunya.
The girl also raised her eyes and looked in their direction.
Li Sisi felt that this girl looked familiar, as if...
She turned to Li Nian and said, "Isn't this the princess who troubled me with Wen Luoqing at the palace banquet that day? Why is she here?"
Li Nian shook his head: "I don't know. Did she cause you trouble?"
"Well, she's always blocking my way with a bunch of people. She's quite annoying." Li Sisi said, then looked at Xiao Yunya and pointed at the princess beside her: "Why did you bring her here? The mansion is so big, isn't it enough for the two of you to explore?"
Xiao Yunya raised her chin towards her: "Second sister-in-law, please don't go too far. Sister Su and I heard that you were back, so we came to see you specially."
"Look at me?" Li Sisi crossed her arms and snorted unhappily, "Your sister Su is of noble status. I can't afford to offend her."
Su Muyan smiled faintly and said leisurely, "Second Madam, you're joking. I'm just visiting with Sister Yun Ya. Why is the threshold of this Waterside Residence so high that I can't even get in?"
Li Sisi didn't have a trace of smile on her face, and her tone was rude: "I can't help it. I have a very good memory. That day at the palace banquet, the princess brought a group of people to block my way. You won't forget it, right?"
Su Muyan saw her relaxed and leisurely demeanor, and didn't see any sign of fear at all.
Xiao Yunya tilted her head and looked at Su Muyan, as if wondering why the two of them had met at a palace banquet before and had a grudge against each other?
Su Muyan gently stroked her temples, her tone neither hurried nor slow, "Second Madam has misunderstood. That day, I just heard that Second Madam had come back to life, and I was curious and wanted to form a good marriage with Second Madam. I didn't mean to make things difficult for you."
Li Sisi rolled her eyes, too lazy to be polite with her: "If you have nothing to do, just leave quickly. I don't have time to entertain you."
Li Nian also spoke up, "Sister Yunya, the princess is a guest from afar. Why don't you take her to the front hall for tea?"
Su Muyan looked at Li Nian, and remembering what Wen Luoxin had said to her, she quickly looked away and ignored her.
"No hurry. This princess came here today to invite you two ladies to attend the poetry gathering on the eighth day of next month."
Her eyes fell on Li Sisi, and she said meaningfully, "The Second Madam comes from a family of scholars, so she must be very talented in writing. You must come when the time comes."
Li Sisi refused bluntly: "No, I'm not interested."
At this time, Xiao Yunchen had just met Mrs. Xiao in the main courtyard. When he heard that Xiao Yunya brought Su Muyan to Shuixieju, he hurried over here.
On the way, I happened to meet two people walking back.
Xiao Yunya happily introduced: "Sister Su, this is my second brother."
Su Muyan bowed gracefully, a polite smile on her face: "Greetings, Second Young Master."
"Princess Su, you're too polite. My mother was just asking about you." Xiao Yunchen looked at his sister and said softly, "Yun Ya, take Princess Su to the main courtyard. Mother is waiting."
"Oh, I understand, second brother." Xiao Yunya responded.
Su Muyan turned to leave, but then seemed to remember something and turned back to say, "Second Young Master, I wonder if you could honor me by coming to the poetry gathering on the eighth day of next month?"
Xiao Yunchen paused and nodded: "If I have time, I will definitely go there."
After saying goodbye to Su Muyan, Xiao Yunchen was no longer in a hurry and walked slowly towards Shuixieju.
Jinhe had already fallen asleep, so Li Sisi followed Xiao Yunchen back to Jinxiu Residence.
It was already past noon. Xiao Yunchen slowed down his pace and walked beside Li Sisi, whispering, "I still have some unfinished business today. If you're bored, you can stay with me in the study. Ruliu bought a lot of new storybooks today, so you can read on the wooden couch in the study."
Li Sisi said "hmm" nonchalantly, but she was thinking about Su Muyan in her heart.
After thinking about it, she couldn't help but ask, "Who is that Princess Su? She seems to have a good relationship with your sister?"
Li Sisi thought again that Xiao Yunya liked Qi Heng, and Wen Luoxin married Qi Heng's brother, so it seemed normal for these people to play together.
Xiao Yunchen lowered his voice and reminded, "Madam, you should stay away from her. It's best not to have any contact with her. Yun Ya is young and doesn't understand many things yet. You shouldn't act like her."
Li Sisi frowned when she heard his words. "I haven't even married you yet, and you're asking me to give in to your sister? Next, are you going to ask me to be filial to my elders, not talk back to them, and understand the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. Don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't do what you shouldn't do?"
Xiao Yunchen waited until she finished speaking before explaining, "That's not what I meant. The situation in the court is tense right now, with constant open and covert fighting. If we make a wrong move, we'll be in big trouble."
"I will also tell Yun Ya that she should not get involved with either the Wen or Su Mansion."
Li Sisi understood the meaning of Xiao Yunchen's words and did not continue the topic.
Anyway, she had no interest in the intrigues in the capital and didn't want to care about them.
"knew."
