Chapter 198 The White Lotus Cousin in Ancient Chinese Literature (27)
All afternoon, Su Yu's right eyelid kept twitching. It was no use pressing it with her hand. As soon as she let go, it started twitching again.
The left eye twitching means wealth, the right eye means superstition.
Su Yu repeated this sentence silently in her heart, and as soon as she let go,...it was still jumping.
Zi Tong was watering the flowers with a copper watering can. When she saw something on the soil, she picked it up curiously and said, "Strange, why are there scraps of paper in it?"
Su Yuxin mentioned it.
Fortunately, Zi Tong did not investigate further and directly picked up the scraps of paper and threw them into the trash can. Su Yu exhaled slowly and then thought, the words on it were gone, so what would happen even if they were discovered?
Su Yu was not going to let Zi Tong get involved in the matter of the villa outside Beijing.
After she finished watering the flowers, Su Yu cleared her throat and said, "Zitong, I may have said something a little harsh this morning and made my cousin unhappy. Do you think I should go over and apologize to my cousin?"
Upon hearing this, Zi Tong looked hesitant.
In the past, she would definitely support it, but after knowing the young lady's thoughts, she inexplicably felt guilty in front of the eldest son.
Finally, she lowered her eyes and said, "It's up to you, Miss."
Of course Su Yu decided to go.
So the master and the servant set out on the journey to make trouble (crossed out) and apologize.
On the way, Zitong hesitated: "Miss, do you really want to do this?"
Su Yu glanced sideways.
Zi Tong's face wrinkled into a bun: "I always feel that it is not good. Since you like the eldest prince, you shouldn't provoke the eldest son. If the eldest son knows the truth, won't we be kicked out of the house?"
There's no need to worry, he already knows.
Su Yu felt embarrassed, but she still smiled: "It's okay, my cousin won't know."
To go to Cui Ling's yard, you need to go through the back garden.
It was the back garden where Cui Yue played a trick on me last time.
Coincidentally, I ran into her again today.
There was no group of people this time, only Cui Yue and Lin Jinse, both of whom looked troubled and sighed in the same way.
"Sister Lin, why are you sighing?"
Lin Jinse's eyes were filled with sadness: "I was thinking about Brother Hanzhang. It seems that he likes Miss Su more."
In the past, Cui Yue would have definitely sternly opposed it and belittled Su Yu, but now that Su Yu had saved her brother, she suddenly couldn't say those words.
Cui Yue's cheeks flushed and she finally uttered a dry "oh".
Lin Jinse was immersed in her own thoughts and did not notice her abnormality.
"Miss Su is really brave. She dared to block the sword with her body. Such a deep wound must be very painful, but she is not afraid at all. If it were me, I might like her too."
Lin Jinse admires Su Yu, but at the same time she can't let go of her thoughts about Cui Ling. This contradictory struggle makes her confused.
Can she really marry Brother Hanzhang with Su Yu between them?
Cui Yue agreed heartlessly: "Yes."
Lin Jinse: “…”
"... Let's not talk about this. Why is Yue'er sighing?"
Cui Yue sighed again: "It's because of her that I am also affected."
Lin Jinse looked at her curiously.
Cui Yue frowned: "She saved my brother and is our family's benefactor, but I used to bully her so much. Now if I were to show my good will to her, I would feel... a little embarrassed."
"Did you go then?"
Cui Yue's cheeks flushed, and she managed to utter a sentence as small as a mosquito's buzz: "I went."
After I said it, I suddenly felt relieved.
"I asked someone to go to Linglong Pavilion to order some hairpins and jewelry for her. It cost me a lot of money. I couldn't bear to spend it myself, so I spent it all on her. I have to save up again."
I didn’t mention the fact that it was returned later. It’s not a face-saving thing anyway.
Lin Jinse was slightly stunned. She obviously didn't expect Cui Yue to actually be able to swallow her pride and negotiate peace. Although it couldn't be considered peace, at least she expressed her stance.
Lin Jinse didn't know whether she should do anything.
Who knew that as he was speaking, he bumped into the real person around the corner.
For a moment, both of them felt a little embarrassed, not knowing whether Su Yu heard it or not.
Lin Jinse was the first to react: "Miss Su."
Su Yu didn't expect to meet them. After a brief moment of daze, she bowed slightly and said, "Cousin, Miss Lin."
Her expression was still calm, so she probably didn't hear it. Lin Jinse breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where are you going, Miss Su?"
Su Yu pursed her lips: "I'm going to find my cousin."
"Is… is that so?"
The smile on Lin Jinse's face suddenly could not be maintained. It was not that she didn't want to laugh, but that she couldn't laugh.
As for Cui Ling, no matter how she tried to convince herself, she couldn't give up easily.
Su Yu admired her pale face for a moment, whether intentionally or unintentionally. After a few breaths, she smiled and explained, "Ms. Lin, please don't misunderstand me. I just don't know why I offended my cousin this morning. Now I want to apologize to him and ask him to forgive me."
Lin Jinse's face looked better: "So that's how it is."
Cui Yue was listening nearby, frowning: "Brother is angry with you?"
Su Yu was stunned for a moment, lowered her eyes and said weakly: "I did something wrong, it's reasonable for my cousin to be angry."
Cui Yue frowned even more tightly: "But no matter what, he can't be angry with you."
After all, he is my savior.
"Sister Lin, let's go over and take a look together." She pulled Lin Jinse and was about to go over with Su Yu.
Among the three people present, Su Yu is the youngest, but Cui Yue is the least mature. Like a child, she does whatever she wants childishly and is full of enthusiasm to interfere in the affairs of her brother and Su Yu.
Even if it was well-intentioned, it was a bit reckless.
For some reason, Lin Jinse did not refuse, so the group of two became a group of four.
Standing outside Cui Ling's yard and after explaining his purpose, Bai Shan said in a businesslike manner that he would first ask the young master for his opinion.
Somehow, Su Yu always felt that Bai Shan's look was cold.
Su Yu smiled at him softly: "Thank you for the trouble."
Bai Shan's face froze, he said nothing, and turned inside.
A faint cold snort floated in the air.
Lin Jinse sensed a subtle atmosphere. She looked at Bai Shan's back, then at Su Yu whose expression remained unchanged. She was not sure if it was her illusion.
Soon, Bai Shan came out: "Sir, please invite Miss Second and Miss Lin in."
The only one missing was Su Yu.
Even the thick-skinned Cui Yue felt something was wrong.
"What about her?" She pointed at Su Yu.
Bai Shan bowed his head respectfully: "The Master didn't say that."
For a moment, Lin Jinse and Cui Yue were stunned, Su Yu's face turned pale, Zi Tong looked at her worriedly, Bai Shan still had a cold face and no expression, and everyone had different reactions.
Su Yu was flustered, her eyes misty: "Is my cousin still angry with me?"
Bai Shan avoided answering, turned slightly, and gestured to Lin Jinse and Cui Yue: "Please."
This was the first time that Su Yu felt ignored by Cui Ling.
Lin Jinse opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.
Cui Yue was the most impatient and asked Bai Shan, "What do you mean, brother?"
Bai Shan: "The young master didn't say anything. Please come in."
The atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Cui Yue felt that her brother was puzzled, and said to Su Yu: "Don't worry, I will go in and ask for you."
After saying that, he rushed in. Lin Jinse paused, nodded to Su Yu, and walked in as well.
Su Yu and her servant, who were stopped outside the door by their master, were very conspicuous.
Many servants in the yard secretly raised their eyes to look at them.
Bai Shan didn't leave, but stood in front of the two of them with a cold face.
Su Yu forced a smile and said, "But cousin, do you have anything to say to me?"
Bai Shan glanced at her, snorted coldly, and took out something: "The young master asked me to return this to you."
