Does he belong only to her? Su Yushan couldn't understand such a thought. "Isn't that just deceiving yourself?"
Nodding, Yu Chan said, "At least you can be happier by deceiving yourself. If you keep struggling with yourself, unable to let go, yet unwilling to confront it, wouldn't you waste your whole life, living a life of melancholy? Is that a good life? Sister, I think life is too short. Who knows if there will be a next life? We should enjoy life while we can. Even if it's just a dream, it would be good to dream for a lifetime."
How to live the rest of her life is a big decision, and Su Yushan dared not make a decision lightly. "I will keep your words in mind, and allow me to think about it carefully."
"Yes, matters of the heart are the least controllable. Others' advice is just their opinion. The most important thing is your own feelings. So-called knots in the heart must be untied by yourself. No matter what decision you make, I hope you can be happy."
A happy person is priceless, and Su Yushan is very grateful to have such a sister who genuinely cares about her. As for her own path, she will carefully consider it before taking any steps.
Su Yushan spent the entire afternoon pondering her sister's words. She even wondered if she should have an open and honest conversation with Hongli tonight.
She was still hesitating whether to tell him her true thoughts, but after nightfall, Hongli did not come.
Chang Yue went to inquire and found out that the Fourth Prince was in the palace and hadn't come out yet at this hour, so he would probably stay in the palace tonight.
Most of the time, a person's courage lasts only a moment; once that moment is over, they no longer want to try.
Since he wasn't going back to the manor tonight, Su Yushan stopped worrying and went to bed early.
The next day at dawn, as soon as Hongli returned to the mansion, he said he wanted to take Su Yushan to Baozhen Tower.
She thought she would have to wait a few days, but he kept his promise today. "Oh? So fast?"
Turning slightly to the side, Hongli tilted his head and whispered, "Apart from the unpleasantness in the tent, I'm quick about everything else."
"..." Yu Chan is still here! He's talking nonsense again!
Su Yushan glared at him angrily, secretly mocking his inconsiderate behavior. Fortunately, he spoke very softly, and Yu Chan was busy embroidering and didn't hear her carefully, so she wasn't too embarrassed.
Just that one look was enough to put Hongli in a good mood, because Su Yushan hadn't shown any joy, anger, sorrow or happiness in front of him for a long time. Now her eyes clearly showed a hint of reproach, and he was quite pleased with this long-lost little womanly demeanor.
With a hearty laugh, Hongli stopped teasing her and went into the inner room to change his clothes.
After changing into their everyday clothes, the two left the mansion together and took a carriage to Baozhen Tower.
On the way, Su Yushan kindly discussed with him, "When we get there, I can go in alone. It concerns a young lady's reputation. If you are there, Miss He may feel uncomfortable and dare not speak her mind."
In fact, Hongli thought so too. He didn't want to get involved in such trivial matters, but he accompanied her because she wanted to come.
Since she felt it was inconvenient, he wouldn't go, and only let Demin accompany and guard her.
It was still early, and the restaurant hadn't started serving customers yet. Although He Yunning was injured, she couldn't sit still at home and insisted on coming here to keep watch.
As she was checking the accounts for the past few days, someone approached and asked, "May I ask if this is Miss He?"
He Yuning looked up at the sound and saw a delicate and beautiful face, as smooth as water and as beautiful as jade, calming the heart at first glance. Moreover, her appearance was somewhat similar to Su Jiafeng's, and her long hair was styled in a swallowtail bun, so she must be married. Therefore, He Yuning tentatively guessed:
"You are... Su Gege?"
Nodding, Su Yushan smiled gently, "Yes, I am Jiafeng's older sister."
"I'm so sorry for not greeting you sooner, Princess!" He Yuning hurriedly stood up to greet her, completely forgetting her leg injury, which caused her to hiss softly in pain. Su Yushan quickly reminded her to be careful.
“Miss He, you are injured, there’s no need for such formalities.”
He Yuning found it very strange. She had never met Su Gege before, so how did Su Gege know her surname? Despite her doubts, she didn't ask any further questions, but simply greeted her with a smile:
"You're here to see Su Jiafeng, right? He should be in the kitchen. I'll have someone go and call him over."
Su Yushan said there was no need, "I'm not looking for him, I'm looking for you."
"Looking for me?" He Yuning didn't understand what Su Yushan meant, but Su Yushan said that she wanted to talk in private.
As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face. Su Gege was very polite, with a gentle smile on her face. He Yun Ning couldn't bear to refuse, so she led her to the tea room at the back.
Although this was her home, she felt extremely uncomfortable sitting in front of Su Gege, because Su Gege kept looking her over, but she didn't know why.
Seeing that she was a little flustered, Su Yushan said apologetically, "I apologize for coming here so abruptly. I heard that Miss He was injured, so I prepared some tonics. Please accept them."
As they were talking, Su Yushan gestured for Demin to serve the tonics. Demin placed the items on the table and then tactfully went outside to wait.
"Your Highness, you're too kind!" In truth, He Yuning was more concerned about, "May I ask how Your Highness knew about my injury?"
"I've heard a little about what happened between you and Jiafeng. I've come today to ask you, young lady, what do you think of Jiafeng?"
How could such a trivial matter have alarmed Su Gege? Surely it wasn't Su Jiafeng who spoke up? He Yuning was unaware of the details, but since Su Gege had asked her, she couldn't very well speak ill of someone else's brother in front of others, could she?
After much hesitation, He Yuning said carefully, "He's quite diligent and works quickly, so there's no need to rush him."
"What does he look like?"
"Huh?" He Yuning didn't understand why Su Gege would ask such a question. "I don't care about looks when I hire people, as long as they're not ugly or deformed. The key is that they have to be strong and not be lazy. As for Su Jiafeng, everyone praises him for being handsome, but I think he's just so-so, so-so!"
