Just then, Liu Muxuan went out. He was going to West Alley to bring Su Miao some freshly baked sugar crisps.
"Master, I'm afraid you can't go right now, because the master just sent someone to say that there's something he needs you to handle." Ling Feng hurriedly followed Liu Muxuan's footsteps and said.
Upon hearing this, Liu Muxuan frowned.
During this time, when he heard that Su Miao was injured, he longed to rush over to see her, but he couldn't get away because he had just started to take over some things and his father had high expectations of him.
I finally had a break today, but who knew...
He had just sent someone to tell Su Miao that he would bring her sugar biscuits and some fun little trinkets later, so that she would have something to look forward to.
It seems that things have disappointed her.
"Have someone go to West Alley to buy her a serving; the timing is perfect," Liu Muxuan instructed in a deep voice.
He still remembered what Su Miao had told him: he couldn't let his guard down at this critical juncture.
He finally managed to gain a foothold.
When he has time, he will definitely make up for today's situation!
"Alright, Master, I'll have someone take care of it right away. You should get in the carriage and go find the Master." Ling Feng said.
"Hmm." A sense of helplessness flashed through Liu Muxuan's mind. He sighed deeply, turned around, and got into the carriage.
...
The sugar crispy biscuits in West Alley have always been popular, and the place is packed with people as soon as they come out of the oven.
As soon as the silent man finished buying, Liu Muxuan's men followed and bought a second one.
However, Lady Liu happened to be out today to meet her distant cousin, who was well-mannered and made her very satisfied.
As soon as they separated, Madam Liu looked up and saw Liu Muxuan's servant holding a piece of sugar biscuit, looking quite hurried.
She couldn't help but recall Liu Jiaojiao's words, and immediately put on airs and went up to her.
"The eldest young master didn't come?"
Upon seeing that it was Lady Liu, the servant quickly bowed and respectfully replied, "No, young master and master are busy with some matters."
Upon hearing this, Lady Liu immediately understood who the servant was giving the item to.
Besides Su Miao, who else could make that kid care so much?
"Are we going to the Duke's mansion?" she asked again.
"yes!"
"Give it to me! I just happen to be going to the Duke's mansion to discuss Jiaojiao's marriage."
"This..." The servant was clearly in a dilemma.
"What? You still don't trust me? Don't forget your place!" Lady Liu scolded.
"No, no! I wouldn't dare!"
But due to Lady Liu's authority, he had no choice but to obediently hand over the crispy sugar cakes to her.
After all, Ling Feng, who was by the young master's side, wasn't there, so someone of his low status wouldn't dare to do anything.
Looking at the item in her hand, Lady Liu smiled with satisfaction. "You're smart to know what's good for you!"
She's just a cousin fostered by the Duke's mansion! Not a proper young lady. If it weren't for the words "Duke's mansion," she wouldn't even bother to look at her!
Forget about competing with her, even if she married their housekeeper, she would still feel like she was climbing the social ladder!
Su Miao actually wants to marry Liu Muxuan? Dream on!
Looking at the sugar biscuits in her hand, she had already decided to feed them to the pigs later.
As soon as Lady Liu left, the servant hurriedly went back to report the situation, but due to Liu Muxuan's busy schedule, the news was not transmitted.
...
At this moment, Su Miao had already obtained the sugar biscuit.
As soon as Tao'er opened the box, she smelled the sweet aroma, and her eyes lit up with a smile. "Miss, it smells so good! Young Master Liu is so thoughtful."
"yes!"
Su Miao took it and gently bit off a piece.
Although it's a single package, the amount inside is more than usual.
Tao'er thought to herself that Liu Muxuan probably felt guilty because he hadn't come to see Su Miao after she was injured, so he bought more for her to show his feelings.
It must be said that Liu Muxuan is a pretty good person.
Meanwhile, Chen Changji on the other side also took a bite of the sugar biscuit.
The crispy texture made him raise an eyebrow, and he couldn't help but think of Su Miao.
"Delivered?"
"As instructed by Master, it has been delivered! I reckon Miss Biao has already eaten it," Lone Eagle reported honestly.
"Um."
Although he wasn't particularly fond of sweets, he finished that small bag of sugar biscuits without even realizing it.
When he reached out again, his hand was empty.
Shen Changji glanced up at the sky; it was time to return home.
Lone Eagle hadn't expected Shen Changji to leave so punctually today; he usually stayed for quite a while.
Just as Shen Changji returned to his courtyard, Su Miao came back from having dinner at Old Madam Shen's place, and the two met briefly.
Thinking of the sugar crisps, Shen Changji couldn't help but ask, "Sugar crisps, are they delicious?"
Su Miao didn't think much of what he said, because Shen Changji had always paid close attention to her relationship with Liu Muxuan.
He must have found out that Liu Muxuan sent her something today.
Thinking of Shen Changji's words from last night, Su Miao smiled, a hint of allure in her eyes, "Of course it's delicious! Everything Liu Muxuan brought is delicious!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changji's face instantly darkened.
Su Miao observed the man's deep and silent emotions. After a long while, the man's deep voice finally rang out, seemingly tinged with displeasure.
"You're definitely not thinking straight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Changji's face darkened completely, and he turned and left.
Su Miao stood there, slightly stunned.
She sensed that Shen Changji seemed rather angry.
Could it be that the sugar biscuit...?
Su Miao's thoughts suddenly became chaotic, and her heart seemed to skip a beat...
