Su Qi looked at them with envy in her eyes. She thought of her younger sister who was related to her by blood in another time and space. She thought of the bits and pieces of the past with Suyao. Now, even meeting her once had become an extravagant hope. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Ever since she took them in, Su Qi began her busy teaching career. Fortunately, these people were not stupid and were willing to work hard. In the past few days, they had also made considerable progress. Time passed by in the blink of an eye, and unknowingly, it was the day he had agreed to meet Wei Qianxue, the eldest daughter of the Wei family. Although Su Qi did not particularly like gatherings like this, she still had to attend them.
Su Qi was not a person who liked to dress up. She just wanted to casually pick up some clothes that she usually wore. However, Cyanose and Yu Yan did not think so. Hence, they started to pick out clothes and put on makeup for her early in the morning. It had to be said that these two people's taste and craftsmanship were quite good.
The woman in the mirror had a purple dress draped over her chest, revealing her shoulders. A bright crepe myrtle flower was embroidered on the light purple silk inside the purple dress, and a light purple butterfly was tattooed on her chest, making her look even more seductive. Her snow-white skin was as fair as a freshly peeled egg, and her hair that reached her waist was scattered on her shoulders. A jade hairpin was simply matched, and it was messy without losing its order. Her black crystal-like eyes shone with a hint of confidence, and her long eyelashes were lowered. Her tall and small nose was breathing rhythmically. Her thin, bright pink lips were curled into a beautiful arc, and her body was emitting a fragrance.
Cyanosis and Yuyan were also stunned by the scene. They felt their hearts beating for her.
Su Qi couldn't help but feel melancholic when she saw this. Wouldn't she become the focus of everyone's attention? It was better to keep a low profile at such a gathering.
"Cyanosis. Let's change to another set."
Who knew that Cyan and Yuyan would not accept Suqi's suggestion at all. It was all because Suqi spoiled them too much, causing her words to be useless now.
"Young miss, you should shock them and let them see your beauty. You don't even know how they laughed at you…" When he thought of the scene of his young miss being bullied in the past, Cyanose's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
It turned out that the Su Qi of the past had enemies everywhere and was bullied by others. Now that it was him, he naturally couldn't be bullied by others. Then he would be high-profile. "Alright, don't cry anymore. Let this young lady blind the eyes of those young ladies.”
Hearing Su Qi's words, Cyan broke into a smile.
Yu Yan quickly handed her a handkerchief and said,"Sister cyanotic, quickly wipe your tears, or you won't be beautiful."”
Finally, after everything was ready, Su Qi sent someone to inform Ye Chen and then brought Ziyan and Yu Yan out to meet him. By the time they reached the Wei Manor, it was already nine o'clock. There were already many people in the garden. At this moment, a servant standing at the gate of the garden shouted,"General Ye's residence's Young Lady Ye has arrived."
Su Qi brought the two of them in. The originally lively garden suddenly quieted down. Everyone looked at the person who had just arrived. They could not believe that this was General Ye's manor's wild young lady. Su Qi sighed in her heart and felt helpless. However, there was no trace of it on her face as she walked over with a dignified smile.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Could it be that I've ruined your mood?”Ye Suqi said with a smile.
At this moment, a delicate and pretty woman slowly walked over. She was wearing a long red dress that dragged to the ground. At the bottom of the dress was embroidered with a few white magnolias that bloomed in the wind. At her waist was a red belt with a few medium-sized pearls and a hollowed-out rattan jade pendant hanging at the side.
She said softly," What are you talking about? We just saw this fairy-like figure and were momentarily dazzled."”
Cyanosis whispered into Su Qi's ear,""This is the young miss of the Minister of Revenue, Yan Jin.”
Su Qi walked over with a smile and said,""Sister Yan praises me too much. In front of all the sisters, how could I dare to be called a fairy? Sister Yan is the one who is like a fairy.”
When Yan Jin heard Su Qi praise him, he could not help but smile. At this moment, the people around them started to whisper. The topic of their conversation naturally revolved around Su Qi.
Ye Suqi did not care about their discussion and chatted with Yan Jin in a low voice. She realized that she still liked Yan Jin very much. She spoke generously and appropriately, and she was also very attentive. She knew how to take care of people, and she was a complete big sister.
At this moment, two women slowly walked over. The green-robed woman spoke first and said,"Greetings, sisters. My name is Xia Yin, and this is Yu Dai, the elder sister of Grand Marshal Yu.”
Yu Dai smiled and bowed. Su Qi quickly helped her up and said gently,""Hello, Sister Yu."
"I've long heard of the Ye Family's Young Lady's great name, but I've never had the chance to meet her. I didn't expect you to be such a beauty, no wonder General Ye wanted to hide you.”Xia Yin was a lively and cheerful girl. She did not have any schemes and said whatever she thought of.
When Yu Dai heard this, she looked at Su Qi's helpless expression and snickered at the side. She said,""Sister Ye is beautiful and has the temperament of a young lady from a wealthy family, unlike you, who is always making a fuss.”
"Annoying!" As they spoke, they all laughed. Shayeen also pouted and muttered in a low voice.
Su Qi looked at the harmonious atmosphere between the three of them and felt very happy. They could be considered her first group of friends since she came here. They chatted and laughed, but the host's daughter, Wei Qianxue, was nowhere to be seen until everyone arrived one after another.
At this moment, some people came from the other side of the garden.
Wei Qianxue helped Madam Wei out. Madam Wei smiled lovingly and said,"Today, my daughter invited all the young ladies to admire the chrysanthemums. If there is anything that is not well received, please forgive me. If there's anything you need, just instruct the servant girl beside you to do it. I've placed some tea in the garden. Everyone can sit down and chat. I won't disturb you.”
Madam Wei said a few polite words before walking away, leaving Wei Qianxue behind to greet the others.
"What do you guys think this Wei Qianxue is up to?”Xia Yin looked at Wei Qianxue, who was chatting and laughing with the others, and said in a low voice," I feel like she doesn't have good intentions.”
Yan Jin looked at her cute and awkward appearance and smiled,""What tricks can she have? But I heard that she has a pot of ink chrysanthemums. I don't know if it's true.”
"Who knows if it's true? She even said it was a gift from Prime Minister Xiao.”Xia Yin pouted and said,"How can Prime Minister Xiao not like a beauty like Sister Ye? Just her?" Humph."
"Sister Yin, don't spout nonsense." Yu Della tugged at the corner of Xia Yin's clothes and looked at Su Qi.
Xia Yin realized that she had said something wrong and quickly said," Sister Ye, I…I didn't do it on purpose, I just…"
"It's fine. This is already in the past. Now, this Prime Minister Xiao has nothing to do with me.”Ye Suqi blinked and said mischievously.
The few of them laughed when they heard that.
At this moment, a discordant voice interrupted.
"Sister Ye, are you feeling better? Last time you accidentally fell into the lake and gave me a fright.”Wei Qianxue slowly walked over with a gentle expression. Her words of concern sounded sarcastic, and the fake smile on her face was even more obvious.
Su Qi sighed in her heart. She thought that she could escape, but some people just didn't want her to live well. So she smiled and said," Thank you for your concern, Sister Wei. I'm much better now. It's all thanks to Prime Minister Xiao who saved me."”
Hearing Su Qi's words, the people around them started discussing again.
"Sister Ye, why did I hear that it was Prime Minister Xiao who accidentally pushed you down?”A young lady from an unknown family said with jealousy.
Su Qi looked at her and smiled sarcastically.""If Prime Minister Xiao pushed me down, why would he save me? Moreover, how could my father, General Ye, let him go? Don't forget the rain seven years ago.”
All the young ladies present knew about the incident seven years ago. When Su Qi told them about it, all of them turned pale with fright. Those who didn't know about it asked the people around them in a low voice, but none of them told them the whole story.
Seven years ago, Su Qi was only eight years old and was very naughty. At that time, General Ye Chen was still guarding the Xili Dynasty at the border. That year was the most turbulent one. Back then, the former emperor was critically ill and was unable to control the government. The Crown Prince at that time was not the current emperor, Xi Liyuan, but the Second Prince, Xi Liyao. Xi Liyao was incompetent, and there was only Ye Chen guarding the border.
However, just as Ye Chen returned to the court after winning the battle, he heard that the Crown Prince wanted to humiliate Suqi. Suqi refused, so Xiliyao made Ye Suqi kneel in the rain for the entire night.
At that time, Ye Chen came back at top speed and saw his daughter's small figure swaying in the rain. At that time, Su Qi had a high fever that night and almost entered the gates of hell. After Ye Chen brought Su Qi back to the residence, he barged into the Imperial Palace alone and massacred the Eastern Palace. At that time, all the eunuchs, palace maids, guards, and concubines around the Crown Prince did not escape. Even the Crown Prince's left arm was cut off.
The next day, the late Emperor called Ye Chen to the royal study and did not come out until midnight.
After that, the late emperor issued an edict to abolish the crown prince, demote him to a commoner, and never enter the capital again. As for all the officials behind the Crown Prince, they were demoted. The Crown Prince's family was found to be corrupt and bribed, and they were sentenced to exile.
On the other hand, Ye Chen was only fined three months of salary as a warning.
From then on, everyone knew that the daughter of the Ye family was the apple of General Ye's eye. No one dared to offend her.
Everyone who woke up from their memories was so scared that their faces turned pale. If Prime Minister Xiao really pushed Miss Ye into the water, would the bloody case from seven years ago repeat itself? At this thought, everyone fell silent. Su Qi looked at their reactions and sneered in her heart. However, she smiled brightly on the surface and said,""Why aren't you saying anything? Sister Wei, didn't you tell us to admire the chrysanthemums? I've been thinking about that ink chrysanthemum for a long time.”
Yan Jin, who was at the side, also echoed: " That's right, we still want to appreciate it properly. Sister Wei doesn't want to hide alone."”As he spoke, the others began to liven up as well, as if the silence just now was just an illusion.
Wei Qianxue also returned to her usual rich daughter appearance. She smiled and said," Everyone, let's go sit over there. I have a lot of precious chrysanthemums here."”
