437. Chapter 437 Unexpected



"How could our madam deserve to be a sister to you, Miss Chen?" Shulan felt uncomfortable when she heard Chen Li's alms-like attitude. She couldn't help sneering in her heart when she heard Chen Li actually said that she wanted to be a sister to their madam. In her heart, the madam was high above and inviolable, and Chen Li was just a rebellious and fickle woman, the daughter of a merchant, and in some aspects she was not even as good as them. Yet she had the nerve to say that she wanted to be a sister to their madam. It was really flattering.

"Why not? In my opinion, your wife has a good figure, is beautiful, is rich, and has a strong family background. She is far superior to that most beautiful woman in Yiyang Prefecture. She is a real rich and beautiful woman, so enviable. Why can't you be my sister? Don't think too highly of me. It's not good to belittle yourself." Chen Li didn't seem to understand the sarcasm in Shulan's words at all. She actually continued the conversation, making Shulan so angry that she almost vomited blood.

Shulan looked at Chen Li in disbelief. This woman was indeed a person of divine thinking and logic. Since they had met, she had never been able to understand her thoughts. Did she mean that the Madam was not as good as Chen Li? It was clearly to let Chen Li know herself and not try to get close to their Madam. If she became friends with such a woman of bad reputation, would the Madam's reputation still be preserved?

But Chen Li didn't understand anything at all. Shulan wondered if Chen Li really didn't understand, or if she did it on purpose?

It was also because Shulan's tone was too polite. As Su Wenyue's maids, Madam Su had sent the four of them to serve her daughter. Naturally, she had carefully selected the best maids under her command, who were trained by the maids in the palace. They were all very demanding in terms of speaking, doing things, and daily life. The rules were engraved in their bones. So even if Shulan was very rude to Chen Li, her words had not exceeded that limit. How could Chen Li, who was a thick-skinned person, understand what she said in such a tone?

What's more, Chen Li always thought she was extraordinary because of her background, and she misunderstood Shulan's meaning.

Qiluo saw that Shulan's face was flushed with anger, but Chen Li didn't understand the sarcasm in Shulan's words at all. She felt helpless. Isn't this asking for trouble? In her opinion, if someone like Chen Li wanted to express something to her, she should just say it directly.

"Okay, you guys should stop discussing this, and don't mention Miss Chen's decision to recognize a sister. Miss Chen may not understand that in a family like ours, even recognizing a sister is not a casual matter. There are too many things involved. Miss Chen should understand the difficulties of the Madam."

"Yes, yes, what the young lady said makes sense. I was rude. I won't mention it anymore, or it will cause trouble for your wife." Chen Li was simple-minded, but she knew the ins and outs of these wealthy families' homes and was even more afraid of them, so she didn't mention it immediately.

Seeing that what she said worked, Qiluo smiled and glanced at Shulan, meaning that she should learn something. Everything should be adapted to local conditions and different people. Treating people like Chen Li who had a different mindset should be done with more careful methods. Seeing that Chen Li wanted to say something again, Qiluo quickly spoke first. Otherwise, once Chen Li opened her mouth, she would have said a long string of words, which would have given her a headache.

"Okay, we've been out for so long, and Madam is still waiting for us to bring Miss Chen over. Let's stop talking and just go over there quickly." Qiluo said and took the lead and walked forward.

Shulan and Chen Li followed behind quickly. Chen Li swallowed her words before she could even speak, but changed the subject: "As expected, your wife is the best. She sent you to pick me up as soon as she knew I was lost. She is really a kind person, much better than your master. How could such a good person marry a cold-faced and hard-hearted man like Han Yu? It's such a waste."

Shulan and Qiluo were very unhappy to see that Chen Li was becoming less and less like Su Wenyue. When was it time for an outsider like Chen Li to judge the affairs between their master and the lady? However, now that they knew what kind of person Chen Li was, they were too lazy to pay attention to her and let her chatter all the way. She only stopped when she arrived at the courtyard where Su Wenyue was. She seemed a little embarrassed and had a bit of embarrassment on her face.

"Ms. Chen, Madam has already given instructions. Let's go in directly."

Chen Li nodded, subconsciously tidied her clothes, and followed Qiluo and Shulan in. She saw Su Wenyue sitting elegantly on the couch, with two little maids serving her. An old nanny was reporting something to Su Wenyue. Su Wenyue listened very seriously, with a cup of tea in her hand. She just subconsciously wiped the tea lightly with the tea lid and did not drink it.

It is said that men at work are the most handsome. At this moment, Chen Li felt that serious women are the most beautiful. It was not the first time that Chen Li met Su Wenyue, but she was still amazed by her. She stared at Su Wenyue blankly for a few seconds, and only reacted when she heard Chunlan's light cough. She smiled awkwardly, and a few red clouds appeared on her face. She was actually embarrassed.

Chen Li thought that it was really stressful to be in the presence of a beautiful woman. In the past, because of her feelings for Han Yu, she never looked at Su Wenyue directly. In addition to not caring, she also deliberately ignored her because she was a little jealous in her heart. Now that she has let go, many things are different.

Su Wenyue actually noticed Chen Li when she came in, and she deliberately ignored Chen Li, intending to leave her there for a while. She thought that Chen Li would lose her temper, but she just stood there waiting obediently, without even a hint of dissatisfaction. Chen Li's reaction was beyond her expectations.

Han Yu really disliked Chen Li, a woman with a broken brain. He felt like beating her up at any time. But beating women was definitely not a good habit. Even though Han Yu was a man who had no manners towards women and disdained to hit women, he really couldn't help it towards Chen Li. So when he saw that Chen Li knew where his study was, he just left and left Chen Li at the door, thinking that Chen Li would follow him by herself.

Little did he know that the woman was dawdling and didn't come for a long time. Han Yu naturally would not go to pick her up, and he didn't even send a servant over. He became impatient and started reading the military book. He was so engrossed in it that when he thought of Chen Li, it was already dark. He just remembered this matter and frowned.

"What's wrong with this woman? Did she think my attitude towards her was too bad, so she went back?"
