Su Xinyan sat on the couch and said at the same time," I understand. Ask Suxue to keep the hundred taels of silver. As for the tonics, keep them.”
Su Xinyan had just finished speaking when Suxue brought in a copper basin with a white silk on it. Su Xinyan washed her face with wrung silk before sitting at the table and preparing to eat.
As soon as he picked up his chopsticks, the housekeeper of the manor arrived with steady steps. When he saw Su Xinyan, he lifted the hem of his long robe and bowed to her.
Su Xinyan put down her chopsticks and looked at him.
"Miss. Old Master hasn't seen you for many days and misses you so much that he asked this old servant to invite Young Miss to the front hall for a meal.”Housekeeper Su's words were extravagant, but he did not expect that in Su Xin Yan's eyes, he was already like an actor putting on an act.
Su Lihua usually shared a room with Mrs. Su. Mrs. Su and Su Lihua only had one daughter, Su Qiandan. Compared to Su Xinyan, Su Qiandan was more like the direct daughter of the Minister's Estate, while Su Xinyan was more like an outsider.
"Butler. Father, do you have something to tell me?”Su Xinyan did not answer whether she was going or not. Instead, she asked Butler Su a question.
Butler Su opened his mouth. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Su Xinyan's clear voice again." If Father has nothing to say to me, I won't go to the front hall to eat. I still have to enter the palace early tomorrow, so I need to rest early tonight.”
With one sentence, Butler Su's prepared words were blocked. Who cares what you have to do? Do you have anything that can beat the matter of entering the palace tomorrow?
Actually, the last time in the palace, the Empress had asked Su Xin Yan to enter the palace again, but Su Xin Yan did not give a definite reply.
"That's not true. Old Master only missed Young Miss very much and wanted to have a meal with Young Miss. It was nothing, nothing.”The butler shook his head and waved his hand.
Su Xinyan smiled and nodded slightly. Her sitting posture did not change at all." Then I'll have to trouble the butler to talk to my father." Xinyan won't send the butler off."
The butler bowed and nodded. He took two steps back before turning around and leaving.
Along the way, the butler walked back to the front hall at the same pace. He thought about it the whole way.
The young miss was only ten years old this year. Why was her etiquette not much different from the late madam? Thinking about it carefully, although the young miss's etiquette was not at all different from the standard etiquette, it was more rigid. Now, it was flowing smoothly, making people not feel annoyed no matter how they looked at it.
Su Lihua was wearing a brownish-red casual shirt and sitting in the middle of the front hall, emphasizing his status as the head of the house. On his left was Lady Su, and on her left was the second daughter of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Su Qiandan. Although Su Qiandan was the second daughter of the first wife, she was only a concubine's daughter. Her mother had been promoted from a noble concubine. Even though she was now the mistress of the house, it did not change her identity as a concubine.
Su Lihua's face darkened when she didn't see the person who should have appeared behind the butler. Before Su Lihua could ask, the butler hurriedly said," Master, Eldest Miss needs to get up early to enter the palace tomorrow. She was a little tired today and wanted to rest early, so she didn't come. She only used the small kitchen to make things in her room.”
Su Lihua wasn't the only one who heard the butler's words. Madam Su's eyes rolled around in her eyes as well.
"I raised this good daughter! He could not even afford to treat her to a meal. She's even more arrogant than her father!" Su Lihua was so angry that she threw the iron chopsticks on the table.
Madam Su's eyes moved. She looked worried as she tried to persuade Su Lihua," Master." The young miss had sold some servants this morning. She should have wasted her effort. It was normal for her to be tired now.”
In one sentence, he revealed everything that Su Xinyan had done today without leaving a trace.
"Oh? Beating up the people who serve her?" Su Lihua was slightly surprised, but after that, she became even more displeased.
Madam Su looked at the frightened Su Qiandan beside her." Dan 'er, be good. Eat quickly."”After the latter obediently lowered her head to eat, she looked at Su Lihua and nodded with a bitter smile. She looked as if she had suffered a great grievance.
However, Su Lihua turned her head to look outside when she saw Lady Su nodding. After a while, he said,"Since she doesn't need anyone to serve her, there's no need to call the tooth woman over. There's no need to give her conditions to bring in new servants."”
It meant that if you had the ability to sell your servants, you wouldn't have to bring in new people to serve you.
The butler stood at the side with a downcast expression.
Madam Su's mouth twitched. It seemed like she wanted to plead for Su Xin Yan, but she didn't know what to say.
Su Xinyan did not know what happened in the front hall, but when she thought about it carefully while eating, she felt that it was nothing more than Su Li Hua being biased against her because of the arrival of the Su Wang family.
In her previous life, she had already seen through her father, who did not love her at all and treated her worse than an outsider. Standing in front of time and space and looking back, she felt that her father Su Lihua's feelings were ridiculous.
When someone else's daughter was down and out, the family would definitely comfort her, even if it was Su Qiandan! Even though she was only a daughter of a concubine, she was still doted on by Su Lihua. When her life was in danger, Su Lihua could even beg the Fourth Prince. But what was she, Su Xinyan, to him?
"Why? Why?" Su Xinyan's eyes were lifeless. Her two black eyes looked through the book in front of her. Her sudden snort frightened Suxue, who was packing a sachet not far away from her, and Qing He, who was drooping her head and drowsy.
Why? Why did she have to receive such treatment? Why did someone with such a noble status like her have to receive such treatment?
Why? Why did the Smiths treat her like this? They were all members of the Su family. Why should they not acknowledge her? Why should she be a wandering ghost after death?
"Miss. What's wrong with you?" Suxue asked as she poured her a glass of water.
Su Xinyan, who came back to her senses, pursed her lips and did not say anything. She put down the official history book in her hand and took a sip of the water that Suxue handed her.
Just when Suxue thought that she would not speak now, Su Xinyan looked ahead and muttered to herself," Sometimes, I feel that a happy family is better than a life of calculation, even if we live in the countryside and eat coarse grains and chaff.”
Su Xinyan could not understand. She could not understand from her previous life. Why was it that even though they were all his children, his grandmother and father did not like him?
Seemingly tired, Su Xinyan shook her head as she sat on the armchair. Then, she stood up and looked at Suxue and Qing He." I told Father that I will enter the palace tomorrow." However, you two girls also know that there are no plans to enter the palace again in the near future.”
As she spoke, she looked at the lamp outside the door." Tomorrow is the day Aunt will send over a new servant. It is only right for her to enter the palace to thank the Emperor.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:05820186: 27PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:09 16 2019 1:34PM
