Liu Jiaojiao looked expectant, but Chen Changji said calmly, "Let's take another look."
Hearing this, Liu Jiaojiao didn't press the issue too hard.
Old Mrs. Shen offered a way out, saying, "I'll go and look at the auspicious dates again and see which one is better."
“Yes, Jiaojiao, you don’t need to be too anxious. In any case, you are a member of our Duke’s Mansion!” The second branch echoed.
Liu Jiaojiao felt a little better after hearing this.
Su Miao, however, was somewhat surprised to hear this news.
She thought that with her quiet and reserved nature, she would set a date right away.
But... he didn't.
"Has anything been found out about the matter of Liu Jiaojiao's red wedding dress?"
Tao'er: "Our people have been investigating all this time, but we haven't found anything. If I'm not mistaken, Liu Jiaojiao is capable of doing such a thing, so there must be someone behind her."
Su Miao fiddled with the hairpin in her hand, a playful glint in her eyes.
Liu Jiaojiao surely understands what kind of person Shen Changji is.
But she dared to cause trouble right under this man's nose, so it seems... he's no ordinary person!
"Today is Yueyin's first day after her marriage. Let's pack some things and go see her," Su Miao instructed.
"good!"
...
Shen Yueyin had heard about what happened at the Duke's mansion, but she couldn't go back right now.
So she had no choice but to tell Shen Changji by letter.
She had just finished writing the letter when she heard that Su Miao had arrived, and she immediately smiled.
"Give the things to my elder brother and prepare some fruits. I'm going to see Sister Su."
With that, Shen Yueyin ran out with a smile on her face.
As soon as Su Miao got off the carriage, she saw Shen Yueyin waiting for her at the door.
"I was worried I'd be feeling a bit down today, but I didn't expect you to come and keep me company!"
"I know you're feeling down, so I came here specifically to play chess with you."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Shen Yueyin couldn't wait any longer.
Liu Muxuan got up early to run errands, and Liu Taipu also didn't arrive at the mansion early, so the huge Liu mansion was left with only Aunt Gu and Shen Yueyin.
Su Miao just came in and happened to run into Gu Huayue.
When Gu Huayue saw Su Miao, her eyes darted away.
"Yueyin, I have something to say to Aunt Gu. You go and wait for me."
Shen Yueyin knew about Liu Jiaojiao's birthday, so she didn't think too much about Su Miao knowing Gu Huayue.
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the pavilion ahead."
"good."
After Shen Yueyin left, Su Miao approached Gu Huayue. She was no longer the delicate woman she usually was.
"Does Princess Su have something to say to me?"
Gu Huayue stroked her belly, showing no fear.
"How is Aunt Gu doing in the manor? Actually, you and I..."
"Princess Su, there's no need to say anything more. Hua Yue just wants to live a good life and doesn't want to think about anything else."
Upon hearing this, Su Miao slightly curled the corners of her lips.
A forced relationship is never sweet, especially since Gu Huayue rejected it so vehemently.
"Good, it's good that Aunt Gu has come to her senses."
With that, Su Miao turned and left with Tao'er.
Gu Huayue was even more surprised by Su Miao's decisive attitude... She thought Su Miao would say a few more words.
After walking a distance, Tao'er couldn't help but say, "This Aunt Gu is rather tactless."
“It’s not that she’s ungrateful; perhaps someone else acted before us,” Su Miao said in a deep voice.
Otherwise, how could a mere concubine have survived so well in the Liu family?
As for that person... she wasn't sure yet.
When Su Miao walked over, Shen Yueyin had already prepared pastries and fruits.
She hadn't played chess in a long time, but encountering Shen Yueyin's chess pieces was a match for her.
"I never imagined you could play chess so well," Shen Yueyin couldn't help but praise.
"Having nothing to do, I practice a lot at home."
Shen Yueyin looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard, and couldn't help but prop her chin up and look at Su Miao.
"Sister Su, it would be better if you were a little braver."
What do you mean?
“Actually, I think you and your brother are quite… well-matched,” Shen Yueyin said, revealing her true feelings.
Upon hearing this, Su Miao chuckled softly.
"You really are something! If you're tired from playing chess, try some of the pastries I made today."
As she spoke, Su Miao reached out and took the pastries from Tao'er, then placed them in front of Chen Yueyin.
Looking at the exquisite pastries in front of her, Shen Yueyin couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
She took a piece, put it in her mouth, and nodded in satisfaction, praising it as delicious.
How has Mu Xuan treated you?
"That's great. If he dares to treat me badly, I'll kick him away."
Shen Yueyin held a pastry in her left hand and another in her right, looking quite satisfied.
Seeing this, Tao'er couldn't help but chuckle.
Su Miao lightly covered her sleeve, her eyes and brows filled with a smile.
“That’s the truth!” Shen Yueyin emphasized again.
"Okay, okay, wipe your mouth."
As she spoke, Su Miao took a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of Shen Yueyin's mouth.
Liu Jiaojiao had just returned when she saw this scene. From a distance, the two looked like real sisters.
She couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
A vixen is a vixen; she can bewitch both men and women!
Even Shen Yueyin, whom she dislikes, gets along so well with Su Miao!
"Miss, would you like to go over there?" Cui'er asked.
"go!"
She's still the eldest daughter of this family, after all!
When Liu Jiaojiao approached, Shen Yueyin's expression changed.
Why are you here?
"Sister Su is here too? What a coincidence! How could I not come? We'll be family soon. Today I went to pay my respects to my grandmother, and she asked me to choose a date with Shen Lang."
