After Lin Er left, Su Qingyu had a simple dinner.
Just as she was about to take off her hairpins and go in to take a bath, Amber came in and reported that Su Yihui had come and wanted to see her.
Although Su Qingyu was a little surprised, she still asked someone to invite Su Yihui in.
"Big sister, this is the amulet I specially asked for you at Jinghui Temple."
Su Yihui handed the amulet wrapped in red cloth to Su Qingyu and said, "If you are worried, you can ask a doctor to take a look."
Su Qingyu took the amulet with a puzzled look on her face, "Thank you, Third Sister."
Su Yihui came here late at night just to give her a talisman?
Then I heard Su Yihui continue: "I did a lot of things wrong before, big sister, please don't be angry with me."
"During this time in the mountains, I thought a lot. We are sisters, so we should live in harmony."
"I know I went too far before, and there's no need for you to forgive me, big sister. Just wait and see what I do from now on. We have a long way to go."
Su Yihui spoke with sincerity and at the end her voice choked with sobs and the corners of her eyes turned red.
Su Qingyu twitched the corners of her lips. "Is the Bodhisattva of Jinghui Temple so powerful? Has my third sister been baptized by Buddhism?"
Su Yihui didn't explain much. She wiped her eyes, stood up, and said goodbye respectfully.
The master and servants looked outside through the window of the banquet room and saw Su Yihui leaving the Bishui Pavilion.
Zhenzhu said in a low voice, "Miss, is the Bodhisattva at Jinghui Temple really that powerful? If so, I'd like to go and worship there too."
To be able to change someone who was so arrogant and domineering before into someone so humble and respectful. Is this not the Bodhisattva appearing, but the Bodhisattva possessing him?
Feicui looked at Su Qingyu meaningfully, "Miss, what do you think the Third Miss said is true and what is false?"
Su Qingyu chuckled, "What did she say? I almost forgot everything. Anyway, I didn't believe a single word she said."
She only knows that it is easy to change the country but difficult to change one's nature.
If Su Yihui could attain enlightenment by reciting Buddhist scriptures for two days, there would be no evil people in this world.
Feicui felt relieved. She was really afraid that her young lady would believe Su Yihui's lies.
Su Qingyu instructed Feicui and the others, "You all should be alert these days. If there is anything wrong with the Third Miss, remember to report it to me."
She kept Su Yihui around to keep Aunt Xue in check, but if Su Yihui acted recklessly, don't blame her for being rude.
The next morning, before Su Qingyu was dressed, Feicui came in to report.
"Miss, the Duke of Wei sent someone to deliver gifts early this morning. Some are for the old lady, the Marquis and his wife, and some are for the young ladies."
"Now the things have been delivered to Songhe Hall. The old lady sent a message, asking the young lady to go there as soon as possible."
Su Qingyu adjusted the crabapple hairpin on her head. "The prince of Weiguo? It's not a festival, what gift is there?"
Or is he sending gifts to the whole family? What is he trying to do?
Feicui stepped forward to help Su Qingyu put the hairpin in place, and said with a smile, "The messenger from the Duke's Mansion said that Prince Zhao is grateful to the Su family for taking care of the Third Miss. This is just a small gift, not a token of respect."
Su Qingyu smiled faintly, "This Prince Zhao is truly loyal and righteous. Since Grandmother is urging us, let's go now."
When Su Qingyu arrived at Songhe Hall, all the masters of the Marquis' Mansion, big and small, had already arrived.
As soon as Su Yihui saw Su Qingyu come in, she took out an exquisite agarwood box and handed it to her.
"Big sister, this is a gift from the prince to you."
Seeing that everyone else had given theirs, Su Qingyu took it with thanks.
She looked around. Su Shunci's gift was a emerald green jade bracelet, probably worth around two hundred taels judging by its quality. Su Chengye received a fine Duan inkstone. Lin, Xue, and Lian all received complete sets of head ornaments, but Lin's was the best.
The gift given to the old lady was a golden Buddha statue, which was made very delicately. Seeing the old lady smiling from ear to ear, it was clear that she was very satisfied with the gift.
Su Qingyu opened the agarwood box in her hand and looked at the contents in surprise.
Inside was a music score with the words "Guangling San" written on it.
If it were an ordinary music score, it would be fine, but this music score was written by Li Boyan, a great music master of the previous dynasty.
Su Qingyu immediately handed the item to Su Yihui, "This music score is an authentic work of Li Boyan. It's too valuable. Sister, please help me return it to Prince Zhao."
All the gifts from the other members of the Su family combined are not as valuable as this music score.
Then Su Yihui said with a smirk, "Sister, what are you talking about? How can we take back what Prince Zhao has given us?"
"Prince Zhao said that sister's song in the palace that day moved the whole capital. Giving this music sheet to sister will not waste such a good thing."
Su Qingyu looked at Su Yihui with a puzzled expression. Why did this gift-giving seem to be directed at her?
Her status is different from Zhao Ji's. If it was given to her alone, she would definitely not accept it, so she did this.
But it was just a guess. Su Qingyu looked at the music sheet in her hand and her heart moved. Then she handed the music sheet to Feicui, which was considered as accepting it.
Su Yihui seemed relieved when she saw her put away the music score.
Then she said to Su Qingyu affectionately, "Big sister, I'm going to Fanjinlou to get a set of jewelry today. Can you help me choose?"
"My taste is not as good as my elder sister's after all. I'm afraid the choice won't be good-looking."
Su Qingyu became even more suspicious. The more Su Yihui acted like this, the more she felt something was wrong.
With a smile on his face, he said, "Then I'll accompany Third Sister for a walk. I'll go back and change into clothes for going out. Third Sister, please wait for me at the second gate."
