This wasn't the first time Su Miao had heard Mo Lin say something like that.
"I'm really fine, look, I'm perfectly alright, aren't I?"
As she spoke, Su Miao raised her head, her eyes shining as she looked at Mo Lin.
"You're making me worry."
"What will it take for General Mo to feel at ease?"
Su Miao met Mo Lin's eyes, her smile unchanged.
"I feel at ease as long as you're by my side."
"But you said you'd always let me have my way," Su Miao tugged at Mo Lin's sleeve and muttered sweetly.
"Yes, I said I would let you have your way, and I would spoil you."
"That settles it then, I quite like being here."
"There are probably some vacant courtyards near your residence. I'll have someone buy them when the time comes."
"I'll stay there when I'm not busy, so I can take care of you conveniently."
Mo Lin's voice was deep and resonant, carrying an air of undeniable authority.
“This is terrible. Wouldn’t Shen Changji find out that I know you?” Su Miao said again.
"Miao'er, I've long considered you family." Mo Lin's dark eyes held a hint of seriousness.
Su Miao glanced away, her smile undiminished.
"General Mo has his own plans, so let's leave it at that."
"good."
It was rare to see Su Miao being so obedient, so we compromised and let him stay nearby.
Mo Lin couldn't help but rub her head again, his eyes full of doting affection.
The meal was very harmonious. Mo Lin kept putting food on Su Miao's plate, filling her entire bowl.
Su Miao smiled and ate it all, making the room more lively.
Looking at the two people inside the room, Tao'er couldn't help but sigh, "If only things could stay like this..."
After finishing his meal, Mo Lin did not stay overnight, but repeatedly told Su Miao to rest well before leaving.
Su Miao knew that Mo Lin would reappear in a few days, so she didn't keep him around.
...
For three consecutive days, Su Miao did not come out.
Only Tao'er knew that her young lady had long since recovered, but had simply painted many dresses in the room.
Because the noble ladies had placed too many orders during this period, and the young lady herself did not want to let go of these businesses, she would pick up her pen and write and draw whenever she had free time.
"Miss, please have some pastries! They were sent by the old lady." Tao'er walked in carrying a plate of delicate pastries.
Su Miao glanced at it, then reached out and picked up a piece.
Although she couldn't see clearly what kind of pastry it was, the familiar taste told Su Miao that it was one of her favorites!
"Go to my box and take those little things I've made recently to Grandmother!" Su Miao instructed.
It was obvious that her grandmother was worried about her.
"good!"
Tao'er hurriedly went to fetch it and then delivered it to the Duke's mansion.
For the past three days, without hearing any movement from Su Miao, Shen Changji felt inexplicably uneasy.
Could it be... that what he said that day was really problematic, and that provoked her?
Shen Changji put down the booklet in his hand, having completely lost interest in handling affairs.
Seeing this, Lone Eagle quickly served tea.
"My lord, please have some tea!"
What's been going on with her lately?
"Miss Su is still quietly recuperating at the mansion; there's nothing else going on."
Hearing Lone Eagle's words, Shen Changji felt as if he had punched cotton, leaving him with a very unpleasant feeling.
Unwittingly, his gaze fell upon the storybook on the table.
He reached out and took it, then handed it to Lone Eagle.
When Lone Eagle received this, he thought of the good deeds Shen Yueyin had done and felt as if he were holding a hot potato.
"Master... what's wrong?" Lone Eagle asked, feeling a little guilty.
"Send it to her," Chen Changji said in a deep voice.
He remembered that Shen Yueyin said that Su Miao had always wanted to read this storybook, but he had taken it away, and he guessed that Su Miao was still waiting for it.
"Don't say it was me who sent it. Just say it was Yueyin who sent it. And don't go in person. Have someone else deliver it," Shen Changji added.
"Oh...okay!"
That's what they said, but Lone Eagle still made the trip himself.
Given how fast this young lady is, I bet Miss Su has already finished reading that storybook. If she goes there now, it'll be hard for her not to be discovered!
Instead of racking his brains to figure out a way to explain it, Lone Eagle decided to let things take their course and handed over what he had in his hand intact.
When Lone Eagle delivered it, he specially wrapped it in red cloth.
Tao'er looked at the thing and thought it was very strange. It was just a storybook, why was it being made to look like something weird!
Seeing that Tao'er was about to open it, Lone Eagle quickly stepped forward to stop her.
"Young Lady Tao, no, no, no! This is for Miss Biao, so naturally she should open it herself!" Lone Eagle said protectively.
Tao clicked her tongue and snatched the storybook away.
"I know, it's just a storybook... why are you making such a fuss about it!"
“My master just loves this sense of mystery!” Lone Eagle couldn’t help but add.
Upon hearing this, Tao'er couldn't help but give Lone Eagle a thumbs up.
She agreed with that!
The eldest son always plays it in a mysterious and unexpected way!
"Understand?"
"I understand!" Tao'er understood instantly!
A sly smile flickered in their eyes before they turned back to report.
Su Miao was still sitting in the room fiddling with her pipa when she saw Tao'er come in. Her gaze was drawn to the red cloth.
What is that?
"This is a book of stories that the eldest young master gave you to help you relax!"
As she spoke, Tao'er handed the items to Su Miao.
Su Miao took it and looked it over a few times.
This was popular a while ago... She saw that Shen Yueyin had bought it and even asked to borrow it from her.
