Su Jinyue suddenly raised the corners of her lips and smiled, looking at Su Jingnian, "Brother, why are you suddenly asking me for a reward?"

"Of course I have to ask!"

Su Jingnian said: "This is the reward from His Majesty to our mansion. How can you take it away by yourself?"

I didn't expect him to be so shameless. Su Jinyue sneered, "This is a reward from His Majesty to me alone. He never mentioned the Marquis' Mansion in the palace. How did it become a reward from the entire Marquis' Mansion?"

"You are the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion! The reward His Majesty gives you is naturally a reward to the Marquis's Mansion. Don't you understand the principle that we all prosper together and suffer together?!" Su Jingnian said coldly.

"When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer."

Su Jinyue repeated Su Jingnian's words, looked at him sarcastically and said, "So, brother knows this sentence. I thought you were uneducated and didn't know what this sentence meant."

Being ridiculed by Su Jinyue for not having read books, Su Jingnian's face changed, "Su Jinyue, even if you say so, you have to give most of the reward from His Majesty, you can't take it all by yourself!"

Jiang Caiping said to Su Jinyue: "Jinyue, mother doesn't want the reward from His Majesty, but after all, the rewards from His Majesty are all valuable."

"You can't put all of them in your courtyard. You have to send some to your grandmother. Your mother will help you put the rest in the inner storehouse. They will be your dowry when you marry into the Zhenguo Mansion."

If the last time really happened, I'm afraid that before she could marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, those rewards would disappear under various names.

Su Jinyue sneered in her heart, looked at Jiang Caiping and said, "Mother, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, but you see, does my daughter look like she is being rewarded?"

This is indeed true. Since getting off the carriage just now, Jiang Caiping has not seen Su Jinyue carrying anything, and Xiaotao has no rewards in her hands. "Aren't you entering the palace to receive rewards?"

"Mother, don't listen to her lies!"

Su Jingnian didn't believe Su Jinyue's words at all. He looked at her and said, "Who knows where she hid the good things given by the emperor!"

"What?" Su Jinyue looked at Su Jingnian, "Brother, do you want to search me again?"

"You! It's obvious that you don't want to hand over the things!" Su Jingnian started to calculate in his mind. Since Su Jinyue didn't want to take out the things, it must be that the emperor gave her something good.

She went to the border in the name of the Marquis' Mansion, so the reward given by the emperor should be at least half of that of the Marquis' Mansion.

Su Jinyue said: "I have nothing to give you. When I entered the palace, His Majesty asked me what reward I wanted. I asked His Majesty for a promise, and indeed I did not bring anything back."

"If you still don't believe it, wait until Su Zhiyao comes back, and you can ask your good sister. She has been in the palace the whole time, and she can hear the reward that His Majesty gave me if she is not deaf."

"What?!"

Su Jingnian frowned, "You returned from your meritorious service at the border, and all you asked for was a promise from His Majesty? What promise?"

Su Jinyue said coldly, "I'm tired, mother, I'm going back to the yard first."

"Don't leave! Make it clear before you go!" Su Jingnian wanted to chase after Su Jinyue, but Jiang Caiping raised her hand to stop him, "Mom! She came back from the border after performing meritorious service, but instead of thinking about how to help our mansion, she asked His Majesty for a promise. I told you long ago that you shouldn't have brought her back!"

"Stop talking!" Jiang Caiping said, "After all, this is her own contribution at the border. Even if there is a reward, she should take it all."

Su Jingnian shook his head. "Mother, don't be bewitched by her. If we hadn't brought her back, would she be able to marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion now? Would she be able to make achievements at the border? She is simply an ungrateful person who can never be tamed!"

…

The noise behind was quite loud, and even though Su Jinyue and her servant were a little far away, they could still hear a few words.

Xiao Tao's eyes turned red and tears fell silently behind her. She wiped her tears with her sleeve, sniffed, and followed Su Jinyue in silence.

Hearing the noise behind her, Su Jinyue turned around and saw Xiaotao crying like a tabby cat.

Su Jinyue couldn't help wanting to laugh, "Xiao Tao, why are you crying?"

Xiao Tao's tears were still on her face. She looked up aggrievedly, "Miss, the eldest young master said too much. Why didn't he tell her about how he and the second young master locked you up in the yard today?"

"For people like him, what is good for him is right, and what is not good for him is wrong. I have nothing to say to such people."

After experiencing the previous life, Su Jinyue had long seen through the Su family. She didn't hold out any hope at all, and she wouldn't be sad because of what Su Jingnian did.

The two returned to Wangyue Pavilion. Except for Lan Shao, all the other maids and servants were cleaning.

When they saw Su Jinyue coming back, they all lowered their heads and continued to do their work without saying a word.

After entering the room, Su Jinyue saw Lan Shao still kneeling on the ground. She said to Xiao Tao, "Help Lan Shao up quickly. You have to kneel for a few hours. If you get hurt, grandma will be sad."

"Miss! Just let Lan Shao kneel down!"

Lan Shao said: "Lan Shao really knows she is wrong this time! Please punish me, young lady! Whether you punish me with half a year's salary or a year's salary, I will have no complaints!"

Su Jinyue sat down and looked at Lan Shao with her eyes downcast. "You are a maid that my grandmother values ​​very much. How could I really punish you?"

"Let's forget about this incident. It won't happen again."

After hearing Su Jinyue's words, Lan Shao was supported by Xiaotao to stand up. She kept saying to Su Jinyue, "Thank you, Miss! I won't dare to do it again!"

Not wanting to listen to her words of loyalty anymore, Su Jinyue waved her hand and said, "I'm tired too. You go down first. I want to rest for a while."

"Yes, I will go to the small kitchen to prepare dinner for you, Miss." Lan Shao turned around and hurried out of Su Jinyue's room.

After Xiao Tao closed the door, she helped Su Jinyue take off her hairpins and rings. "Miss, she clearly did it on purpose! How could you forgive her so easily just because she knelt for two hours!"

Su Jinyue looked at herself in the mirror and smiled, "Do you think she looked like she had been kneeling obediently in my room for two hours when she walked out?"

"Miss, what you mean is..."

"She just pretended to be nice to me because she knew I was back." Su Jinyue said indifferently, "Now is not the time to kick her out. I will keep her for a while. When she causes more trouble for my grandmother, I can then naturally remove everyone in my yard!"

Su Jinyue waved at Xiaotao and said, "There is something important that I want you to do with me tonight."
