After Su Miao finished drinking the water that Tao'er handed her, she gradually came to her senses.
What surprise?
Was it the surprise she was hoping for?
Her blank gaze fell on the clean bed, and she couldn't help but shake her head, forcing herself not to think about those things anymore.
But...did he actually work last night?
After all, what happened last night was rather sudden. Previously, he had always come prepared, but last night…
Because he always managed to make her forget that feeling, she wasn't so sure this time.
"Go and prepare a contraceptive soup for me," Su Miao instructed softly.
Tao'er paused for a moment, then quickly replied, "Okay."
After all, this contraceptive soup hadn't been brewed for a while, and besides, the eldest young master had said before that there was no need to make it because it was too harmful to the body.
Why today...
Tao'er didn't ask any more questions and turned to go downstairs to prepare.
When it was served, Su Miao drank it down in one gulp without even thinking.
Remembering Shen Changji's instructions before he left, Tao'er asked, "Miss, the eldest young master asked you about the small clinic a while ago. What have you thought about it?"
Su Miao hadn't expected that Shen Changji still remembered...
But thinking of what Master Shen had said yesterday, she smiled slightly and said, "Let's talk about it later, when he comes back."
"Yes, that's good! If Miss makes a decision, then the eldest young master will definitely be very happy."
Su Miao didn't answer, but just smiled.
"Is Miss going to the Duke's Mansion to see the Old Madam today?"
"I'm not going anymore, I won't be going for the next few days. Prepare some brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, I want to paint."
"good!"
Su Miao stayed there for the entire afternoon.
Around dusk, news came that Liu Jiaojiao had been removed from the Liu family genealogy.
When Su Miao heard this, her hand holding the pen trembled slightly.
Fortunately, she was able to hold it, so she didn't ruin the painting she had just finished.
The news had barely been sent out when Chen Yueyin arrived.
"I told you she wasn't a good person! See, I was right! But Old Master Liu is in a bit of a predicament!"
As soon as Shen Yueyin came in, she couldn't help but complain to Su Miao.
"What's the situation?"
"It's all because Liu Jiaojiao doesn't know what's good for her! The old man had just returned from her place when he fell ill, and then that housekeeper Liu scared him a little and blurted it out."
We decided to let it go and not wrong him, so we arranged a blood test to determine kinship! That's when we found out that Liu Jiaojiao's mother had been flirting with Steward Liu before, but seeing that she could also get close to the old man, she kept both of them on her toes.
Even after becoming a concubine, she maintained a close relationship with Steward Liu. Given the old man's philandering ways, and his desire to conceive sooner, she resorted to illicit means.
Shen Yueyin sipped her flower tea and told Su Miao the whole story.
"Liu Jiaojiao is probably going crazy right now."
"Who told her to do such a terrible thing! So I suspect that the old man probably guessed this when he made her move out. She was ungrateful, and now look what happened!"
Shen Yueyin had absolutely no liking for women who pretended to be something they weren't.
Moreover, Liu Jiaojiao was disgusting to begin with.
"Speaking of which, Miao'er, I must put in a good word for you with Grandmother! Grandmother dotes on you so much, she might actually let you into the family!"
Shen Yueyin held Su Miao's hand and said affectionately.
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly saying that?"
Shen Yueyin: "Then tell me first, do you like my brother? I know you're shy and easily embarrassed! But liking someone isn't something to be ashamed of!"
You wouldn't believe it, but when I went to pay my respects to my father today, I overheard his conversation with my elder brother. It seems that my brother will be bringing home a new bride this spring.
My elder brother didn't object; in fact, he said it could be done even sooner. During this time, my grandmother has been looking for a wife for him!
Spring has arrived?
Su Miao calculated that it hadn't been too long.
If you decide to marry, then choosing someone now will allow you to have everything ready by spring, which is the perfect timing.
Firstly, it won't be neglected, and secondly, it will be done in a respectable manner.
But Shen Changji said it could have been even earlier...
Does she already have someone in mind?
Seeing that Su Miao remained silent, Shen Yueyin became even more anxious for her.
In her haste, she exchanged a few words with Su Miao and then headed home.
Upon returning home, she immediately wrote a letter to Shen Changji with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Rather than rushing Su Miao, she felt that explaining it to her brother would be more effective.
...
Shen Changji threw Steward Liu out, which immediately threw Liu Jiaojiao into chaos.
Especially when she heard that she had been removed from the family tree, she felt as if she were shrouded in frost, and the chill seeped into every inch of her skin.
She was no longer the high and mighty daughter of the Imperial Stud.
She was just the daughter of a housekeeper...
Nowadays, Butler Liu is no longer a butler; he is just an ordinary citizen.
The sudden sense of loss was unbearable for Liu Jiaojiao.
Her fingertips trembled slightly, and a fierce look flashed in her eyes.
Cui'er dared not go in at all, because Liu Jiaojiao had smashed the vase to pieces all over the floor. If she went in now, she would suffer.
If she doesn't go in, someone else will.
As night fell, the man came to her house again.
Butler Liu, on the other hand, didn't dare to say a word this time.
Liu Jiaojiao hated him, so she made sure he couldn't speak.
Liu Jiaojiao: "Since we've come this far... I have a solution."
But what I want is very clear.
She spoke in a cold voice, devoid of any warmth.
"Oh!"
