Chapter 197: The White Lotus Cousin in Ancient Chinese Literature (26)
"Your Highness, do you still remember the cousin who gave you the purse?"
The eldest prince looked at him and said nothing.
The attendant was so frightened that tears streamed down his cheeks. He mustered up the courage to continue, "She is Cui Ling's cousin. Cui Ling is a ruthless person who betrayed you. The sister should pay for the brother's debt. Why don't you invite that cousin to stay at the villa outside the capital for a few days to teach Cui Ling a lesson?"
"oh?"
The attendant raised his head tremblingly: "What do you think, Your Highness?"
The eldest prince showed interest and tapped his fingertips, thinking about the feasibility of this approach: "Interesting."
I have to say, this person is very good at figuring out his thoughts.
Thinking of this method, the eldest prince's mood did indeed improve a lot.
He tutted, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, get out of here."
The attendant escaped death and kowtowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your mercy! Thank you, Your Highness, for your mercy! Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely get the job done!"
After saying this, he ran out, crawling and tumbling, fearing that if he was late for a second, this fickle master would think of some trick to torture him again.
The servant who had been groveling in front of the eldest prince, immediately wiped off the footprints on his body after leaving the door, cleared his throat, and put on a haughty look.
Being servile in front of the master is a means of survival. In front of other servants, he is still a favorite of the master and is someone who needs to be flattered.
"You, yes, I'm talking about you, come here." The servant pointed at a servant.
The servant came over nervously and asked, "What does Eunuch Fang want me to do?"
The attendant called Eunuch Fang smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, it's naturally a good thing."
He whispered in the servant's ear with a meaningful smile: "This is His Highness's order. Go, if you do a good job, His Highness will reward you handsomely."
★The next day.
Su Yu took out a piece of paper from the pastry and spat it out with a frown. What is that?
The paper unfolded.
——Tomorrow, in the suburbs of Beijing, at Yuhua Villa, I will be waiting for my beloved.
The signature only has two words: Your Highness.
Su Yu didn't even need to guess to know who wrote it.
Yuhua Villa is the private property purchased by the eldest prince in the suburbs of Beijing. The name sounds nice, Yuhua, meaning beautiful jade, but few people know how many corpses of beauties are buried there.
System: [Does the host want to go? ]
Su Yu tore the note into pieces and soaked it in water. The ink spread and the already fragmented handwriting became completely blurred.
【Let’s go and have a look.】 Su Yu weighed the options and said.
The system generally does not question her decisions, and this is no exception. The initiative of the task has always been in Su Yu's hands, and it is just an auxiliary.
[Host, rest assured. With me here, it won't be easy for the eldest prince to do anything he wants. ]
Su Yu smiled and said: [Be good, I will upgrade you when I get back this time. ]
Although the system is occasionally unreliable, spends a lot, is talkative, likes to be unfaithful, drags its feet, often neglects its duties, likes to flirt with system girls, and curses when losing games, but...
Su Yu was rarely silent.
The system really seems to be a waste.
The system was unaware of this and thanked me excitedly: [Thank you, host! You are so kind! Don't worry, I will definitely help you complete the tasks in the future. I will be able to buy the entity after I upgrade. I will accompany you to complete the tasks in the next world.]
Su Yu awkwardly put aside the thought just now and nodded nonchalantly: [Yeah. ]
The system was enthusiastic: [I will go pick a body now. I will definitely choose the most impressive one and will definitely not embarrass the host. ]
Su Yu waved her hand: [Go ahead.]
Why does it feel like I've raised a son?
A shadow flashed outside the door, and Su Yu was startled: "Who is outside?"
As she spoke, she quickly poured the water used to soak the paper strips into the flowerpot and hurried out to check the situation.
As a result, I saw an unexpected person.
"Yuer?"
Cui Yue was discovered and stood there awkwardly.
Su Yu blinked and moved her eyes downward to the ground at the door, where several boxes were neatly arranged.
"What's this?"
Cui Yue's cheeks flushed, she stammered and looked left and right, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "This is for you," and ran away without looking back.
"Eh——" Su Yu's outstretched hand froze in the air.
Zi Tong came back with the pastries from the kitchen and was almost bumped into by Cui Yue. She looked puzzled: "Miss, what happened to the second young lady?"
Su Yu shook her head: "I don't know either."
Her eyes fell on the box on the ground again, and Zi Tong also looked over.
"What is this? Did the Second Miss bring it?"
Su Yu nodded.
Zi Tong frowned, put down the box of pastries, wiped the flour off her hands, and carefully picked up the box.
"Miss, do you want to open it?"
Su Yu moved closer and thought for a moment: "Open it."
She was still in Cui's house, where there were many people around. Cui Yue would not be bold enough to give her something dangerous in front of her.
The box slowly opened, and a glittering jewel hairpin came into view. The gem was carved into the shape of a flower, and was dotted with a few gilded butterflies. It was a fashionable style among the noble ladies in the capital.
Su Yu and Zi Tong were both surprised.
The next few boxes were opened in the same way, revealing bracelets, jade hairpins, and golden hairpins, all of which were items worn by women.
Zi Tong was curious: "Why did the Second Miss send you these things?"
Su Yu's eyes moved, and she vaguely guessed the reason.
She remained calm: "I don't know either. Zitong, go and take it back to her later."
Zitong scratched her head: "Okay Miss."
After putting the boxes together, Zi Tong picked up the food box and said happily, "Miss, the kitchen heard that you wanted to eat cakes, so they made lotus cakes and jade belt cakes for you, and also added a bowl of almond cheese."
She took out the things and put them on the table.
The lotus crisps are fried into the shape of a lotus, with green leaves stacked outside the pink petals, which is extremely delicate. The jade belt cake and almond cheese are also sweet and delicious. The most important thing is that these delicate and delicious cakes are extremely time-consuming to make.
"These past few days, I've been to the kitchen every day, and the chefs there are all very enthusiastic."
Su Yu also noticed that the food these days has become much more refined.
There is no doubt that it was either the eldest lady's order or Cui Ling's order.
In the afternoon, Zi Tong took some time to deliver the things to Cui Yue, but she came back with a sad face not long after.
“Miss, the second lady refused to accept it and even asked if you disliked the gift she gave you.”
Su Yu: “…”
She sighed: "Forget it, just leave it alone."
After all this trip, Zi Tong also figured it out: "Miss, is the Second Miss sending you these things because she wants to thank you for what the eldest young master did?"
Su Yu nodded: "About that."
Zi Tong snorted: "The Second Miss bullied and ridiculed us before, and now she is doing this again. She has done all the good things."
Su Yu was amused: "Okay, she has no ill will towards us now, so just keep it."
What Su Yu is really worried about is the trip to the villa tomorrow.
