Su Zhiyao said in a difficult tone, "I can't blame my sister for what happened yesterday. She never treated me as her younger sister before. I know that in my heart. I don't blame her."
Su Jingnian felt sorry for Su Zhiyao, "Zhiyao, when I recover from my injury, I will definitely seek justice for you!"
"Brother, don't worry about me." Su Zhiyao laughed, "I'll be happiest if you recover soon."
"Oh, right." Su Zhiyao casually mentioned that the Second Prince came to the Marquis' Mansion today. "Something happened on the East River Bank yesterday. It seems that His Majesty was assassinated. Sister saved the Second Prince yesterday. The Second Prince came to visit today just to thank you."
Hearing that His Majesty had been assassinated, Su Jingnian frowned and immediately thought, if they were fine yesterday, wouldn't they have a chance to make merit by going to Donghe together? !
Hearing that Su Jinyue had saved the Second Prince, Su Jingnian immediately snorted, "I think she's not good at anything else, but she's the best at taking credit!"
"Could it be that she knew that it was the Second Prince and rescued him on purpose, just to get him to repay her kindness?"
Although Su Zhiyao thought so in her heart, she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips, but still said: "Brother, you can't say that, maybe sister doesn't know."
"You're still speaking for her? Zhiyao, you're just too kind!"
Su Jingnian said to Su Zhiyao, "Have you forgotten the last time she went to the border without telling our mansion? She came back with military merits and got a reward from His Majesty, but she became arrogant and seemed to look down on our mansion!"
"When our mansion was in trouble, she was the only one who was not affected. Don't you know who she is?!"
"Ah..." Su Zhiyao said, "We are all family. I will be more tolerant of my sister in the future."
"Why should we tolerate her?" Su Jingnian said, "You also have medical skills. If she can hook up with the Second Prince, why can't you?!"
Inside the Moon Watching Pavilion.
Just as Su Jinyue returned to the courtyard, Nanny Song arrived and said, "Miss, the old lady asked you to prepare the medicine today. I will take people to deliver it door to door."
"I understand." Su Jinyue said.
When Nanny Song went out, she winked at Lan Shao who was in the yard and asked her to go out with her.
Lan Shao saw Su Jinyue enter the room, put down the broom, and followed Nanny Song out stealthily, "Madam, what do you want?"
Nanny Song looked down at Lan Shao and said, "Lan Shao, working for the young lady must be very easy. You don't have to do anything every day."
Hearing what Nanny Song said, Lan Shao's face changed, and she quickly said to Nanny Song in a flattering manner: "Nanny, it's not true, just tell me what you want, and I will obey you."
"There is a waist badge in the eldest lady's room. If the eldest lady is not here one day, you can take the waist badge and send it to the old lady."
Lan Shao rolled her eyes and looked up at Nanny Song, "Mammy, what is that waist badge..."
"It's not something you should ask, so it's best not to ask!" Nanny Song glanced at Lan Shao, "You must remember that although you are here with the eldest lady, you are still the old lady's person!"
"Yes, I understand. Thank you for your advice, Madam."
Xiao Tao leaned on the window and looked out for a long time, until Lan Shao returned to the yard, then she lowered her head and returned to Su Jinyue.
Su Jinyue was preparing a recipe. Seeing Xiaotao sneaking back to her, she laughed and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Miss." Xiao Tao lowered her voice, fearing that people outside could hear what they were saying. "When I just closed the door, I saw Nanny Song go out and Lan Shao quietly followed her out. I guess they must be up to something bad."
Su Jinyue raised the corners of her lips, her hands moving without stopping. She could probably guess what they were doing, but she didn't care. "Don't worry about her. It's not time to deal with her yet."
When the sun set in the evening, Su Jinyue prepared the necessary scar removal cream and asked Xiaotao to send it to her grandmother.
Su Jinyue was free and thought of the Xiaoyao Tower she had talked about with Xiao Duo. If she went in with her identity, maybe she wouldn't attract so much attention...
However, she is in the mansion every day, and her whereabouts are now being watched by people from other courtyards. It may not be easy for her to sneak out.
About half an hour later, Xiaotao came back from outside crying, with a bright red slap mark on her face!
After turning on the light, Su Jinyue saw that Xiaotao's face was slightly swollen. Her eyes darkened instantly, "Didn't I ask you to deliver the scar removal cream? What happened to that slap?!"
Xiao Tao sobbed and said, "Originally, I delivered the scar removal cream to every household with Nanny Song. The ladies and gentlemen of each family were very generous and gave almost tens of thousands of taels of silver!"
"This money originally belonged to the young lady. Nanny Song swallowed it all and said she was going to give it to Old Lady Su. I tried to stop her, but was...slapped in the face by Nanny Song."
Su Jinyue sneered. They are really greedy and can't digest too much. These people's greed is a bottomless pit. No matter how much you give them, it is still not enough.
"I will ask them to pay me back double for all the things they have taken from me." Su Jinyue gave Xiao Tao the ointment to reduce swelling. "Don't worry about the money. Let my good grandmother be happy for a while."
"Xiao Tao." Su Jinyue said, "Have you inquired carefully about the whereabouts of those things in the warehouse?"
Xiao Tao wiped her tears and nodded vigorously, "I have already bought it at the pawn shop at double the price as the young lady ordered."
"But Miss." Xiao Tao's face wrinkled, "Most of the things in our warehouse have been replaced by them. They are really brave!"
Su Jinyue smiled and said, "I just want them to be as bold as possible. I want to see if their greed can make them escape unscathed in the end!"
Just after noon the next day, someone from the Jiang family came.
Jiang Caiping asked someone to welcome her into the front hall. When she saw Jiang Bu, her smile became more sincere. "Brother, why didn't you inform me before you came to the Marquis' Mansion?"
Jiang Bu smiled cheerfully, "I just returned to the capital today, and His Majesty's transfer order has not yet arrived, so I wanted to bring Ling'er and Chongtian to the Marquis' Mansion to see you and Jinyue."
Jiang Linger and Jiang Chongtian stepped forward and bowed to Jiang Caiping, "Hello, aunt."
Jiang Caiping smiled brightly and asked the two to stand up. She asked Yuehua beside her to give them two red envelopes. "It's been a few years since we last met. Ling'er has grown into a big girl."
"You two can sit down first." Jiang Caiping said to Yuehua, "Go tell the eldest and second young ladies that my uncle and his family have arrived. Ask them to come to the front hall to meet them."
"Yes, ma'am."
Yuehua went to Su Zhiyao's place first, and then came to Su Jinyue's yard, "Miss, Master Jiang is here, and Madam asked you to go to the front hall."
Uncle came suddenly?! Su Jinyue's pupils trembled. It seemed that her uncle had never entered the capital at this time in her previous life!
