Chapter 74: Bad Luck



Su Jinyue raised her eyes and glanced at Su Jingnian coldly, "I thought Su Chengjiang would talk nonsense for a long time, so I'll eat first. I hope it won't bother you guys?"

"You guys continue, I'm going to eat first, I'm hungry."

"you!"

Su Jingnian felt like he had punched cotton and his chest was blocked.

Although Old Madam Su was dissatisfied with Su Jinyue in her heart, she was now very popular in front of the emperor, and she didn't bother with Su Jinyue's little thoughts.

"Forget it, let's eat. We are all family, why do we have to follow so many rules?"

As soon as Old Lady Su opened her mouth, everyone fell silent. For a moment, the only sound on the table was the clatter of dishes and chopsticks.

Su Jingnian looked up at the maid standing behind Su Jinyue. The maid immediately understood and stepped forward to serve Su Jinyue a bowl of soup.

"Miss, enjoy your meal."

"Hmm." Su Jinyue hummed lightly, picked up the spoon in the bowl and stirred the soup in the bowl.

Su Jingnian and Su Chengjiang's eyes unconsciously turned towards Su Jinyue's bowl of soup.

Seeing Su Jinyue scoop a spoonful of soup, the two couldn't help but hold their breath!

At this moment, Su Jinyue suddenly raised her eyes and looked in the direction of the two people. Seeing the way they were staring at her, she curled her lips and said, "Brother, you have been staring at my bowl of soup for a long time. Do you want to drink it?"

She put down the bowl of soup in her hand and waved to the maid behind her, "Give me another bowl of soup."

The maid didn't dare to disobey, so she could only come up obediently and serve the soup and place it in front of Su Jinyue.

Su Jinyue stood up with two bowls of soup and walked in front of Su Jingnian and Su Chengjiang, "Brothers, please come in first."

Seeing her suddenly being so "attentive", Su Jingnian glanced at the bowl of soup in front of him and looked at Su Jinyue with complicated eyes.

"Why don't you drink it?" Su Jinyue blinked, looked at Su Jingnian and asked, "Brother was staring at the soup in my hand just now, I thought you two wanted to drink it."

Su Chengjiang wanted to push away the soup that Su Jinyue brought him, but was stopped by Su Jingnian.

If I don’t drink the soup Su Jinyue sent me at this time, she will definitely suspect that there is something in the soup!

Su Jingnian raised the bowl of soup and drank it all, then put it aside and said to the maid beside him, "Another bowl."

Seeing his elder brother drink it, Su Chengjiang followed suit and did not forget to roll his eyes at Su Jinyue who was returning.

As soon as Su Jinyue sat down, a bowl of soup was brought to her by the maid.

This time Su Jinyue did not hesitate. She drank a few spoonfuls with a spoon, put the soup bowl aside and started eating.

After seeing Su Jinyue drink the soup with their own eyes, Su Jingnian and Su Chengjiang immediately felt relieved and ate and drank without paying any more attention to Su Jinyue.

After dinner, Su Jinyue was going to go back to Wangyuexuan, but was kept by Jiang Caiping.

Jiang Caiping brought Su Jinyue back to her yard and took out something from a small black box on the dressing table. It was an extremely rare red jade bracelet, which was crystal clear!

Even a layman can tell that this is a top-quality jade bracelet!

"This was originally meant for you. I've put it off for so long because I was afraid you wouldn't cherish it. Now that you're getting older, it's time to give it to you," Jiang Caiping said.

The moment Su Jinyue saw the jade bracelet, she was a little dazed.

She had seen this jade bracelet in her previous life and this life. On the day when she almost married into the Xie Mansion, Su Zhiyao was wearing this jade bracelet on her wrist.

In the previous life, after Su Zhiyao got married, she would show off this jade bracelet in front of her every day. This was a family heirloom passed down to the legitimate daughter. The only legitimate daughter her mother recognized was her, Su Zhiyao!

"Jin Yue?"

Jiang Caiping's voice brought Su Jinyue back to her distracted state. She looked at the jade bracelet in front of her and had no idea how Jiang Caiping got the jade bracelet back from Su Zhiyao's hand.

She didn't care about it now. If she accepted the jade bracelet, Su Zhiyao would be unhappy for a long time.

But she didn't need to.

Su Jinyue said calmly, "Mother, you should keep the jade bracelet. I have to take care of the herbs on weekdays, and this jade bracelet is really in the way and it is precious. I am afraid that I will break it."

Jiang Caiping really didn't expect Su Jinyue to refuse, and the smile on her face froze.

Only then did she realize that Su Jinyue seemed to have really changed.

In the past, when Su Jinyue just returned home, she would follow her and call her mother softly, but she didn't care about this daughter at that time.

She didn't know when it started, but her daughter was afraid of seeing her and the Marquis. Her own daughter was so timid and didn't know the rules. Jiang Caiping also developed many prejudices against Su Jinyue.

And now...

My own daughter, with such a dull expression and reaction, seemed to be getting farther and farther away from me!

Jiang Caiping's heart suddenly tightened. She took Su Jinyue's hand and stubbornly put the jade bracelet on her wrist. "It's just a bracelet. If it's really broken, mother will give you another one!"

The bracelet swayed on her fair wrist, and the blood-red bracelet was made even more crystal clear by her slender white wrist.

Su Jinyue lowered her eyes to look at the bracelet on her wrist. Before she could take it off, Jiang Caiping grabbed her wrist and pulled her to sit down. "Jinyue, some of the things that happened in the past were also mother's fault. Don't hold it against her."

This sudden admission of mistake made Su Jinyue couldn't help but frown secretly.

She is not a saint, so she will not change her mind and forgive Jiang Caiping just because of a few words from her.

But based on her actions today, it was hard for her not to think that Jiang Caiping wanted something from her.

"Mother, if you have something to tell me, just tell me directly. There is no need to do this."

Jiang Caiping said, "I just wanted to give you the bracelet. What are you thinking about? Yuehua, go get some fruit. I want to have a private chat with Jinyue."

"Yes." Yuehua bowed and walked out.

Another place is in the back garden of the marquis's mansion.

Su Zhiyao was crying to Su Jingnian, "Brother, mother rarely wants me to accompany her now. Today, she even called me over. I'm really scared. Mother is..."

Su Chengjiang spoke first: "Don't worry, after tonight I don't think she will be able to show off!"

Su Zhiyao, who was still wiping her tears, looked at Su Chengjiang, "Brother, what do you mean?"

Just when Su Chengjiang was about to speak out, Su Jingnian stopped him, "Zhiyao, go back and rest first. You still have to prepare well for the Lantern Festival tomorrow."

After Su Zhiyao left, Su Chengjiang frowned and asked Su Jingnian, "Brother, why did you stop me from talking to Zhiyao about our..."

"You are stupid!" Su Jingnian said sternly: "If Zhiyao knew, wouldn't it be a burden to her?"
