Su Yin noticed the movement behind her, but she pretended to know nothing and said to Xiang Ling beside her: "Look, I picked it up by chance. The poems on the two wooden signs just form a poem."
Xiangling was also very smart, and said with a smile: "Miss, maybe it was written by the same person."
"Hun said. The handwriting on these two wooden signs is clearly from two different people. One is neat and beautiful, and the other is vigorous and powerful. It is obvious that they were written by different people."
"Miss, could it be..." Xiangling paused, made a shy expression, and covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed secretly.
Heng Youyi happened to hear these words when he approached.
When I saw Su Yin holding the wooden sign from afar, I had a bad feeling. When I got closer, my thoughts were confirmed.
The wooden sign she held in her hand was her own.
Those two wooden signs were made by them themselves and were completely different from the other wooden signs on the ginkgo tree.
There was no name on it, so Heng Youyi felt relieved a little. However, as long as the other party didn't let go, she couldn't completely calm down.
Heng Youyi calmed down, walked forward, and greeted Su Yin, "Miss Su."
Su Yin looked at the other person in confusion, "Who are you?"
"Zijin Tavern, we've met before." Heng Youyi made a gesture of putting on a veil.
Su Yin suddenly realized, and said in a slightly mocking tone, "It's you!"
Heng Youyi keenly noticed that Su Yin's attitude had become cold. She had been so friendly just now, but now the look she gave him was clearly filled with contempt and disdain.
What's going on?
How might she have offended the other party?
Heng Youyi thought about it carefully but had no clue.
Today is my second meeting with her. The first time we met, we had a pleasant chat and there was nothing wrong.
Su Yin hung the wooden sign back on the ginkgo tree, and seemed unwilling to talk to Heng Youyi any more. "Xiangling, let's go. Don't stay with these filthy people for too long, or you'll be contaminated by the foul air."
That's a very impolite thing to say.
The maid Xiaoxiang had always been quick-tempered and impulsive. When she heard such insulting words to their lady, she immediately shouted, "What are you talking about? How can you humiliate others for no reason?"
Heng Youyi's expression also changed and he put away his friendly smile.
She stared at Su Yin expressionlessly, "Miss Su, what do you mean by saying this? But how have I offended you that you have to humiliate me like this?"
Su Yin stopped, turned around, and looked at the other person, "What are you doing, how could you not know?"
"I really don't know." Heng Youyi was so angry that he laughed.
"Okay, I'll have a good talk with you today." Su Yin walked straight to the stone bench under the ginkgo tree.
Heng Youyi followed closely behind and sat down on the other side.
The two girls, Xiaoxiang and Xiangling, disliked each other and snorted coldly at each other.
"I heard a very interesting story recently."
Su Yin began by telling a story about a man and a woman who fell in love over wine.
When she mentioned 'getting to know each other because of wine' and 'falling in love because of wine', Heng Youyi's expression changed slightly, the anger in his eyes faded away, and he calmed down and carefully observed the woman in front of him.
I began to wonder who this girl in front of me was.
Why does he know so much about her affairs?
When Su Yin talked about the woman's betrayal, how she deceived the poor scholar while trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful, Heng Youyi was completely confused.
After being confused, he became angry and felt that Su Yin was talking nonsense.
But the other party spoke with great confidence and described every detail, even the details of how the family that curryed favor with the powerful came to humiliate the poor scholar's family and threatened the poor scholar's family.
"The woman went to great lengths to marry into a wealthy family. She was afraid that the poor scholar's family would pursue her relentlessly, so in order to get rid of this trouble, she directly bribed the murderer, who drowned the student to death on the eve of the imperial examination."
"Tsk tsk, this woman and her family are so vicious." When Su Yin said this, her eyes were full of contempt and disdain when she looked at Heng Youyi.
Heng Youyi felt pain in his chest and he felt like he couldn't breathe.
"What did you just say? How did the student die?"
Suddenly, Heng Youyi grabbed Su Yin's hand with such force that Su Yin felt pain.
"He was murdered." Su Yin replied indifferently, pulling her hand away forcefully, as if he disliked her touch.
Seeing her reaction like this, Su Yin was very satisfied. This meant that she had a great chance of winning and Heng Youyi could be used by her.
If she had no feelings for Lin Zijin, it would be difficult for her to convince Heng Youyi to deal with her husband.
It seems that Heng Youyi still has deep feelings for Lin Zijin.
Su Yin continued, "After the woman killed the only obstacle that could prevent her from joining the powerful, she felt uneasy again, fearing that there would be other variables. She asked her family to go to the student's home again to put pressure on them to obey. She also bribed the elders of the student's family and used them to suppress the student's family."
"It's a pity for that student's family, they are left with only an orphan and a widow, and they can only swallow their anger."
"Within half a year, the woman had planned a great show and successfully married herself into a powerful family."
After finishing the story, Su Yin looked at Heng Youyi with a smile on her lips, "Has this lady ever heard such a wonderful story? Isn't it very interesting and eye-opening?"
Heng Youyi could still hold back on this full of sarcasm, but the maid Xiaoxiang couldn't.
She directly retorted, "You are talking nonsense, my wife is not that kind of person."
This sentence successfully exposes the fig leaf of this story.
"Xiaoxiang." Heng Youyi scolded.
Xiaoxiang pouted in grievance, "Madam, they clearly heard it from others. They heard it from some questionable people and dared to come in front of us to humiliate us. It's really infuriating."
Xiang Ling was not ambiguous and directly retorted, "We didn't just hear it from others. We heard it from the people in the story."
"Bullshit! Who would believe that?" Xiaoxiang wouldn't believe it.
She has served their young lady for so many years, isn't she like their young lady?
How could he be such a vicious person as described in the story?
Xiangling pointed at the velvet flower on her head and said, "Look carefully, this is the velvet flower we bought from the student's family yesterday."
"You, you..." Xiaoxiang was angry and anxious.
Heng Youyi spoke up again to stop him, "Okay, okay. If you say one more word, I'll deduct one month's salary from you."
After saying this, Xiaoxiang finally shut up.
Heng Youyi looked at Su Yin, "But is it true?"
Su Yin nodded affirmatively, "I happened to run into this when I was buying velvet flowers on the street yesterday, and then I heard such a wonderful story."
