Seeing the door open, Cuiping had to swallow her words, glared at Su Ruojin and Yanluo, and then turned around to greet them with a gentle smile.
"Young Master Shen, you've worked hard. Have a bowl of bird's nest soup and rest for a bit."
Upon hearing this, Su Ruojin's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at Cuiping's hand, where there was indeed only a bowl of bird's nest.
She initially thought Cuiping's bowl of bird's nest was for Xiaobao, but she never expected it to be prepared for this Prince Shen. What about Xiaobao's?
A smile appeared on Su Ruojin's lips, but it didn't reach her eyes; instead, it carried a hint of coldness.
Shen Yu did not accept it: "Thank you, Miss Cuiping, but I don't like eating bird's nest. Let's give this to the young master to nourish his body."
Cuiping looked slightly embarrassed: "There's more in the kitchen. I'll bring it to the young master in a bit. This is specially prepared for the young master Shen."
"They don't want to eat, yet they're rushing to send it up, while their own master can't get any. Tsk tsk tsk, this Prince's mansion is truly an eye-opener." Yan Luo also saw through the trickery and directly mocked.
Upon hearing this, Cuiping's face flushed red and then turned pale. She hurriedly explained to Prince Shen, "Your Highness, it's not like that. You are the young prince's tutor, and the prince instructed you to take good care of him."
Only then did Shen Yu notice the two people blocked by Cui Ping: "Who are these two?"
Su Ruojin performed a curtsy: "Young Master Shen, I am Su Ruojin, the physician who has come to treat the young master." Yan Luo also performed the curtsy.
Upon hearing that it was Su Ruojin, Shen Yu's eyes lit up. So she was the legendary Su Ruojin.
The little girl wore a light blue cotton dress. Although the fabric was not expensive, the cut was very flattering, perfectly outlining her graceful figure.
She wore only a peach blossom jade hairpin in her hair, her outfit was simple and elegant.
Her small face, no bigger than a palm, held a pair of eyes that possessed a wisdom beyond her years.
Yes, wise!
Shen Yu thought of this word, and it was the kind of wisdom that comes from having experienced the vicissitudes of life.
But this little girl in front of me is only of marriageable age, so how could she have such feelings?
Strangely, Shen Yu didn't find anything wrong with this contradiction in her; on the contrary, she felt that it had a fatal attraction that made people want to explore it.
Seeing is believing; no wonder Xiao Yanchu, that iron tree, is so devoted to her.
Shen Yu returned the greeting: "Miss Su, I've heard so much about you. I am Shen Yu from the Marquis of Anguo's mansion, and I am now Yi'er's tutor."
"Jin... Sister." Xiao Bao heard the commotion outside and rushed out when he saw Su Ruojin.
When Su Ruojin saw Xiaobao, her face softened with tenderness: "Xiaobao, your sister has come to the manor to keep you company."
Xiao Bao nodded emphatically: "Okay, try...try...to...recognize...words." After a pause, he pointed to Chen Yu: "Mr...sir."
Su Ruojin understood what he meant. Xiao Bao wanted to tell her that he was now seriously learning to recognize and write under the guidance of Mr. Shen Yu.
"Little Bao, you're so good! I brought you a gift." Su Ruojin took out a nine-linked ring from her bosom and explained the game to Little Bao.
Xiao Bao happily accepted it: "Thank you... Sister."
"Little Bao, shall I take your pulse first?"
Xiao Bao nodded and pulled Su Ruojin into the study.
Su Ruojin smiled apologetically at Shen Yu, who nodded to indicate that it was alright.
This Doctor Su is interesting; it seems I should visit the Prince's residence more often.
No one paid any attention to Cuiping anymore, and feeling neglected, Cuiping gripped the tray she was holding tighter.
She had heard her mother say that the young prince was particularly infatuated with this Sister Jin, and now that she saw her, she was indeed a vixen.
Considering that the prince had specially arranged for Yunwu Courtyard to be decorated for Su Ruojin, Cuiping felt even more uncomfortable.
