Mrs. Lin was in her early sixties, of medium height, with meticulously combed white hair. She wore a blue velvet with a gold floral pattern and a pair of gold longevity pendants on her head.
When she smiles, she is kind and peaceful; when she doesn't smile, you can't help but hold your breath, as if you're afraid she'll get angry.
Lin smiled bitterly, "Mom, the children are still here."
The old lady waved her hand and gave Su Qingyu a look.
Su Qingyu stood up and took Su Shunci and her two cousins out of the main room.
It was the first time for the two young ladies of the Lin family to visit the capital, and they found the flowers and plants in the garden new and fresh.
Su Qingyu took them to catch butterflies in the garden in the middle of the third courtyard.
She sat at the stone table while Su Shunci ran and jumped with her two cousins. After the three of them got familiar with each other, they laughed together.
Su Qingyu couldn't help smiling when she saw how happy they were having.
"Do you think the Fourth Miss has grown quite a bit in the past six months?"
Feicui smiled and said, "Young Miss is at her age, it's the time for her to grow taller. Judging from Concubine Lian's stature, Young Miss will not be short."
While the master and servant were talking, Lin Wuchen appeared out of nowhere. By the time Su Qingyu saw him, Su Shunci had already bumped into him.
Su Qingyu stood up and planned to go take a look, and then she heard Manju behind her say, "What's the point of growing taller but not smarter?"
His tone was filled with disgust and disdain.
Su Qingyu glanced over calmly and saw Agate staring at Su Shunci and Lin Wuchen with a sinister look.
This gaze...
Su Qingyu shook her head slightly. As expected, there were some things that could not be changed even if she was reborn.
Jade nudged Agate with her elbow and whispered, "What nonsense! Do you think you can say that about the Fourth Miss?"
Su Qingyu pretended not to hear anything and walked towards Su Shunci.
Su Shunci bumped into Lin Wuchen and fell directly to the ground at his feet. She was helped up by Lin Wuchen, but her skirt was stained with mud.
Su Qingyu greeted Lin Wuchen and took Su Shunci to change clothes.
It was not until they had dinner at the Lin family in the evening that Lin took the sisters back home.
On the way back, Su Qingyu leaned against the wall of the car with her eyes slightly narrowed, her face expressionless.
He seemed to be resting his eyes, but in fact his mind was already in a thousand thoughts.
In the previous life, a batch of goods from the Shen family was intercepted by people from the Longhu Village in Yunwu Mountain. Lin Wuchen and the leader of the Longhu Village were sworn brothers, so he took her up the mountain to meet the leader.
Coincidentally, the second in command of Longhu Village happened to rebel, so they were all locked up.
At that time, Lin Wuchen was taken away, and she was imprisoned with Feicui and Manju. Manju hinted that Lin Wuchen was implicated by her.
Later, Feicui untied the ropes that had bound the others. Agate pointed a knife at her neck and threatened to kill her. He said that if she was killed, the Third Young Master would be able to safely descend the mountain. However, the hand holding the knife was trembling, and he hesitated to bring the knife down.
Jade stood in front of Su Qingyu, confronting Agate. Later, Lin Wuchen came to find them and killed Agate with a sword.
These days, she has been thinking about how to deal with Agate. In her previous life, Agate didn't kill her, and in this life, it blocked a whip for her. She originally wanted to find an honest and decent man for her to marry.
But from the look in Manou's eyes when she looked at Su Shunci today, she knew that this person could not be kept.
When Su Qingyu returned to Bishui Pavilion in the evening, she called Feicui into the house alone.
She sat cross-legged on the bed, her long black hair hanging down, and the candlelight illuminated her cool and beautiful profile.
Feicui saw that she didn't speak for a long time. Although she was suspicious, she didn't dare to speak.
After a long while, Su Qingyu asked, "Fei Cui, do you want to follow me to the Shen family, or go back to your third cousin?"
The jade was sent by Lin Wuchen, so it was reasonable for Su Qingyu to ask about it at this time.
But when Feicui heard this, she immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Miss, did I do something wrong to make you unhappy?"
Su Qingyu sat beside the bed, looking at her quietly, and didn't speak for a long time.
"What makes you think that?"
Feicui bit her lower lip tightly and said, "I know, young lady, your heart is as clear as a mirror. I like the third cousin, but I am loyal to you. Please don't send me back. From now on... I will abide by my duties and never think about the third cousin again."
Su Qingyu was a little confused. "Since you like your third cousin, why are you unwilling to let me take you back?"
Feicui smiled bitterly and said, "With my status, how can I be worthy of the third cousin young master? Besides, when the third cousin young master sent me here, he said that if we can't serve the young lady well, we will die. Only when the young lady is well can we be well."
"I know in my heart that the more I think about my third cousin, the faster I will die."
"Please be merciful, young lady. I will never have any random thoughts in the future and will serve you for the rest of my life."
Su Qingyu nodded, "You are not confused."
She had witnessed Lin Wuchen's methods in her previous life. This third young master, the most gentle and polite of the Lin family, showed no mercy when he attacked.
"Get up, come closer, I want to tell you something."
Feicui hurriedly stood up and walked forward, leaning over to stand beside Su Qingyu.
The master and servant whispered for a quarter of an hour before Feicui retreated.
Early the next morning, a servant came to report that the fourth young lady had caught a cold during the night and was coughing non-stop.
Su Qingyu hurriedly asked someone to call a doctor and told Feicui, "Go get that jar of autumn pear paste and give it to Fourth Sister."
Agate's eyes flashed, and she stepped forward and said, "Miss, I'll go and deliver it. I happened to be going to ask a needlework expert for two patterns, so I'll deliver it on the way."
Su Qingyu said casually: "That's fine, let's go with Agate."
After Manjue left, Su Qingyu winked at Feicui. Feicui nodded slightly and also left the inner room.
After lunch, we rested in the banquet room of Bishui Pavilion.
Agate was tied up and kneeling on the ground.
Su Qingyu looked at Manju coldly, with the bottle of autumn pear paste in her hand that she was going to give to Su Shunci in the morning.
"How dare you drug the Fourth Young Lady?"
Manju raised her head and looked at Su Qingyu indignantly, "The drug I gave her was not life-threatening, it only made her stupid."
"Who made her follow the Third Young Master around all day? She's such a grown-up, yet she's so coquettish."
Su Qingyu stood up and kicked Manju.
"Who do you think you are? Do the people around my third cousin have to depend on your mood?"
Did she just become stupid? Did she think that she hadn't killed Su Shunci, or was she being merciful?
Su Qingyu stopped talking nonsense with her and ordered Feicui loudly, "Drag him away and beat him to death with sticks."
Feicui hesitated, "Miss, you're getting married in half a month. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to see blood now?"
She wasn't begging for mercy on Agate, she was really afraid of bad luck.
Su Qingyu snorted coldly, "It would be unlucky to keep such a scourge."
Which emperor's ascension to the throne didn't result in rivers of bloodshed? I've never seen anyone say that ascending the throne was unlucky.
