Nanny Jiang was very satisfied and brought her to the old lady. The old lady was also very surprised. She felt that Yao Susu had changed a lot in just a short period of time. She was very happy and allocated money to buy clothes and jewelry for Yao Susu.
Xu Zekun is about to return home, and she has to plan carefully for their first meeting.
_
Yao Susu has been in the mansion for such a long time, the county lord naturally knows it.
But she didn't care. At that time, she was staying in her own Huanfang Courtyard and letting her maid dye her nails.
She was beautiful, with a pair of big, bright eyes, skin as delicate as jade, a plump figure, and was wearing a red satin dress embroidered with peonies.
When I looked down at my nails at this moment, I felt indescribably vivid.
She had no intention of finding out about Yao Susu. In her heart, that woman was as lowly as mud, and her name was not even worthy of being spoken by her, Fang Yanran.
But Taozhi, her maidservant, was possessed by some evil spirit and had been staring at Yao Susu since she entered the mansion. When she entered Baozhuxuan, she was even more indignant and said that Yao Susu had defiled her place.
At this moment, she was whispering to Fang Yanran: "The old lady invited the embroiderer from Nishang Pavilion to come to the mansion today to measure Miss Yao's size. It seems that she is going to make new clothes for her. You, the county lady, must be careful. I heard that Miss Yao is very beautiful. What if she seduces me..." Before she finished speaking, she saw Fang Yanran raised her eyebrows, and she dared not say anything.
Fang Yanran didn't care about Bao Zhuxuan, that cheap thing, at all, and she didn't even care about Xu Zekun.
She just felt that she had a miserable life and she would never be able to marry the person she loved in this life.
Thinking back to that year's palace banquet, why did he have to be the one...
When Fang Yanran thought of this, her mood suddenly turned from sunny to gloomy. She felt that her life was ruined and she no longer had any interest in it.
"If you make any more noise in front of me, I will sell you out of the house!" After saying this, he stood up leisurely, lifted the bead curtain with a crackling sound, and went into the inner room.
Taozhi was so frightened that her face turned pale and she dared not say anything more.
But the jealousy in her heart was still overwhelming. She was sincere about her feelings for the prince. The old lady wanted to take a concubine for the prince, so why didn't she choose her?
She chose a foreign vixen, wasn't it because she hated Yao Susu? She mentioned Yao Susu in front of the county lord, just to make the county lord stand up and deal with that woman.
But the county lady was too proud to even bother to even glance at her.
Ultimately, the county lady had no interest in the prince. But if you say she had no interest and didn't want to serve the prince, then why didn't he push her out when the prince came? If she had been taken in earlier, how could Yao Susu have had a turn?
Taozhi felt regretful and even resented the county lord. She really couldn't see through the county lord.
Fang Yanran entered the inner room and lay on the bed in a daze. The old lady disliked her, so how could she be willing to serve Mrs. Wu?
You are always thinking about taking a concubine for Xu Zekun. Well, let’s see if Xu Zekun will enter the concubine’s room!

The prince is coming back today, and Yang Wuyi, the doorman, had received a letter from Mother Zhao of Shou'an Hall long ago. Although he was sleepy at the moment, he was still nervous.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the sound of horse hooves came from far away. Yang Wu was delighted and hurriedly got up to greet them.
Several horses were seen galloping from afar. The leading horse had smooth fur and a sleek body. Its long mane was black and shiny in the sun. It was none other than the Crown Prince's horse, Taxue!
Xu Zekun was also wearing a black shirt. His face was stern. When he saw someone rushing out, he frowned slightly, pulled the reins tightly, stepped on the snow, raised his head and neighed, and his strong horse hooves raised a cloud of flying sand.
"Master, you're back." Yang Wu smiled.
Xu Zekun dismounted swiftly, threw the reins to Yang Wu, and said calmly, "What's the matter?"
He was born with a pair of sword-like eyebrows and a pair of star-like eyes. His eyes were black, bright and sharp, which gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Yang Wu swallowed, took the reins, and said respectfully, "My Lord, the old lady of Shou'an Hall wants you to come over."
Xu Zekun said "hmm" when he heard that.
He was ordered to lead troops in a military camp outside Beijing and had not returned home for half a month.
His mother sent someone to tell him a message, but he didn't think much about it and strode towards Shou'an Hall.
He was very tall, with long legs and a strong waist, and he walked with a brisk pace. Soon he walked through the garden and passed through a moon gate, and arrived at the old lady's residence.
Yin Zhu had already been waiting at the corner gate. Seeing Xu Zekun return, she hurried over to greet him and said affectionately, "Master, you are back. The old lady has been waiting for you all morning."

Inside Shou'an Hall
At this moment, Yao Susu's heart was beating like a rabbit, and her hands holding the handkerchief were covered in cold sweat.
Early this morning, the old lady had someone dress her up, put on new clothes, and came to Shou'an Hall early.
Seeing Shou'an Hall busy with preparations for lunch and snacks, even though Yao Susu was slow to react, she guessed that it must be the master who had returned.
Yao Susu came all the way from Jiangnan, and she was not afraid. She had no idea what Xu Zekun looked like, but she was about to spend her life with this man.
What if Xu Zekun didn't like her? Would she be sent away again? Or sold off? And continue her drifting life.
Thinking of this, Yao Susu shuddered in her heart. She silently encouraged herself in her heart and decided to make Xu Zekun like her and stay in Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. Even if she was a concubine, she would have a stable life.
She was still daydreaming, and when she heard Yin Zhu's sweet words and a deep male voice, her heart began to beat faster.
Not long after, someone lifted the curtain and walked quickly into Shou'an Hall. He walked very fast, like a gust of wind.
When Mrs. Wu saw her son coming back, she was naturally extremely happy. She took Xu Zekun's hand, looked him up and down, and asked him about his well-being.
