Su Miao left after Old Madam Shen fell asleep.
The long silence on the other side, even after returning to his own room, did not calm his heart for a long time.
He stroked the medicine pouch Su Miao had made for him, his mind filled with images of her in the washroom just moments before…
The desire, though interrupted, only grew stronger...
His body was so eager for her.
He suppressed the surging restlessness in his heart and recited the calming mantra several times before he could fall asleep.
...
The next morning, news came from the front courtyard that Aunt Gu from the Liu family had come to apologize.
Su Miao quickly tidied up and then took Tao'er with her.
When I saw Gu Huayue again, she had styled her hair in a married woman's bun, and she looked much more composed.
Su Miao had also heard about what had happened at the Liu residence recently. Liu Taipu was unwell and had handed over most of the affairs to Liu Muxuan. As a result, Liu Wangshi's power in the residence was reduced by half, with the other half given to Aunt Gu.
Liu Taipu's actions were clearly an act of venting his anger against Lady Liu.
After Su Miao spoke a few words to Gu Huayue, Gu Huayue left.
When Su Miao returned to the room, Tao'er said, "Miss, our people have tried to contact this Aunt Gu, but she hasn't given us a reply yet!"
"Is she unable to see the situation clearly?" Su Miao asked, taking a sip of tea after hearing Tao'er's words. She couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Gu Huayue, who had just left the Duke's mansion, couldn't help but look back.
Going to the capital was indeed not as simple as she had thought... The silent and taciturn man actually came to give her a warning...
Not only is there silence, but there is another group of people.
But in any case, she will choose to remain silent, just to be on the safe side...
Because she simply couldn't afford to wait any longer!
Especially after what happened on Liu Jiaojiao's birthday!
But she never expected that the first thing Shen Changji asked her to do was to come to the Duke's mansion to apologize to Su Miao...
Is it because she's protecting her own? Gu Huayue couldn't quite figure it out, especially since Liu Jiaojiao had also made an appointment with Shen Changji today.
Su Miao quickly learned that Liu Jiaojiao was seeking out Shen Changji.
She fiddled with the hairpin in her hand and laughed, "I bet she wasn't feeling too good about what happened on her birthday!"
Liu Muxuan saw through the true colors of the mother and daughter, and the siblings became distracted.
Gu Huayue's appearance further threatened Liu Wangshi's existence.
However, his own birthday celebration did indeed make his father a laughing stock!
No wonder, with the storm just dying down, Liu Jiaojiao naturally couldn't resist seeking a moment of quiet solitude.
"Let's change into something nice today and go meet her!" Su Miao put down the hairpin in her hand, a playful glint in her eyes.
