~ THE SU FAMILY HAS A TALENTED WOMAN NAMED SU YUYI ~
Qi Mama inwardly complained, “Reporting to Madam, I still need about forty people to be able to bring the luggage back as soon as possible.”
The Second Madam secretly inhaled with a surprised expression on her face. She looked at Su Qing and Mu Yunyao in surprise. “How many things did Little Sister and Yao’er purchase? How actually needs so many people to transport it here?” She had always been a quick-tempered person, so she always spoke in a straightforward manner. Thus, when she straightforwardly asked this question, no one felt it was inappropriate for them.
Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her head, her face even redder. “Mother didn’t prepare a lot of things, and most of them belonged to me. Before I came here, Mother even persuaded me to buy less, but I saw that everything was good, so... “
The Second Madam said with a smile on her face. “The young lady in our house has always loved to be pretty. When she’s out on the street, she’s going to see everything, and she’s going to buy whatever is good. It’s nothing much, just a little more luggage. Just send more people to transport it into the residence. Elder Sister-in-law, if you don’t have enough men, you can send more from me.”
“Thank you, Sister Qi. Qi Mama, why don’t you hurry up and make the arrangements?”
Qi Mama’s heart trembled. After getting the confirmation, she hurriedly left. If she had the ability to call out so many people directly, she wouldn’t have to come and make things difficult for them.
The Eldest Madam turned to look at Old Madam Sun and bowed, “It was my mistake. When I was arranging the courtyard before, I wanted to make Sister Su Qing and Yao’er closer to the Old Madam, so I had asked people to clean out Chaolu Garden. But now, I had heard from Qi Mama that Su Qing’s sister and Yao’er had brought along many things. Chaolu Garden inevitably crowded, it’s better to move the Jiyue Pavilion out, where the boundary is spacious, and the scenery is elegant too.”
Originally it was her negligence in the arrangement, but now that she said it so straightforwardly and generously, it seemed rather magnanimous.
Mu Yunyao slightly narrowed her eyes. The courtyard of Chaolu Garden was small. It was clear what she was doing under the Old Madam Sun’s eyes, and she didn’t want to be so uncomfortable. Jiyue Pavilion is a great place to go. However, it used to be a separate place for the ladies in residence to play and entertain guests. The scenery was naturally not bad. Even if they moved in, it would likely lead to a lot of complaints. The first wife probably wanted to make a stumbling block, but she didn’t care.
The Second Madam had a smile on her face. Seeing that the Old Madam’s teacup had turned cold, she quickly got someone to change it to a new one. Her daughter, Su You, had always been in bad health and regularly having to drink medicine. She was usually quiet and didn’t like crowded, so she couldn’t even go to Jiyue Pavilion for months. It was just right for Su Qing and Mu Yunyao, so she didn’t have to worry about it.
Old Madam Sun raised her teacup and took a sip, nodding slightly. “Alright then.”
Suddenly, a light laugh came from the door. The sound was like the light and pleasant cry of an oriole, making people’s ears uncontrollably twitch.
Mu Yunyao’s downcast eyes trembled fiercely. Her hand under her sleeve tightened slightly as the corner of her mouth unconsciously raised to form a cold arc. She looked up with curiosity on her face.
The curtain began to swing, and a few young girls walked in with each other.
The girl in the lead had a slender waist, flowing shoulders, and a slim figure. She was wearing a beautiful silk dress embroidered with Su’s moonlight brocade, with a hundred butterflies in a floral skirt. Her slender waist and graceful figure made her seem like she was surrounded by fairy music as she slowly walked over.
Her face was even more beautiful. Her face was like a silver plate, her complexion like a spring flower, her eyes like clear autumn water flowing through the air, and her mouth like a smoky glow. She didn’t purposefully dress up. She only used a jade-green prism flower hairpin to tie up her inky black hair, but she was already unbearably beautiful.
She is the Pearl of the Su family, a woman of talent whose name filled the Capital — Su Yuyi.
“Granddaughter greets Grandmother, Mother, Second Aunt.”
The Old Madam’s face immediately lit up with happiness. “Get up quickly and come to Grandmother.”
Mu Yunyao kept on looking at Su Yuyi. She was outstandingly beautiful, beautiful beyond belief, making it impossible for people to refuse her just by looking at her. Solely by relying on her beauty, she could make people willingly hold anything in front of her in exchange for a smile.
Su Yuyi stood firmly by the side of the Old Madam and held her shoulders gently, “Grandmother, you don’t seem to be in good spirits today. Are you tired? It just so happens that I followed Doctor Chen to learn some massage techniques. I’ll give you a massage later.”
Old Madam Sun’s expression became even more lively. “You have always been filial.”
The Second Madam on one side opened her mouth and said, “Yu Yi is very meticulous. Her filial piety towards the Old Madam is incomparable. You guys have just left school and haven’t met your aunt yet. Didn’t Yuyi worried about her before?”
Su Yuyi looked at Su Qing and Mu Yunyao with a surprised look in her eyes. She then stepped forward and bowed, “Greetings, Aunt. I was worried about you before, but Aunt is finally back. Today is truly a good day. The family is reunited, and my grandmother saves a worry.”
Su Qing’s eyes were still filled with sadness. When she heard this, she revealed a smile. “Yuyi, there’s no need to be so polite. A family reunion is indeed a joyous occasion.”
Su Yuyi looked at Mu Yunyao at the side. “This must be Little Sister Yunyao, right? I’m in the Capital …”
Mu Yunyao strode forward. “Greetings, Cousin. I’ve heard of Cousin’s good name since I was in Jingling City. Seeing her now turned out to be really better than I heard. Cousin is even more beautiful than the rumors say.”
Su Yuyi was interrupted by her straightforward praise and suddenly forgot what she should say.
Su Qing, who was at the side, reached out her hand and pointed at the center of Mu Yunyao’s brows. “This little girl, while on the boat, was thinking about what she should do when she saw Elder Sister Yuyi. Now she’s happy and silly when she sees her.”
“Mother, I’m not happy. I’m just shocked by my cousin’s appearance. My Elder Cousin is the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen.” Mu Yunyao pursed her lips and shook Su Qing’s arm. Then, she turned around to look at the other three girls that had followed Su Yuyi in, “Greetings, three Sisters.”
Su Yuyi was like a bright moon and shining brightly. As soon as the bright moon comes out, the stars will become covered, so as long as Su Yuyi is there, anyone will become overshadowed. Su Yaxian, Su Yajing, and Su Yaling were already used to this scene, but never would they have thought that Mu Yunyao would greet them courteously.
“Little Sister Yunyao, there’s no need to be so polite.” No matter what they thought, the three of them responded with a smile on the surface.
Mu Yunyao slightly narrowed her eyes. The Eldest Madam was gentle on the surface, but her methods were so powerful. The concubines and mistresses in residence were all completely controlled and obedient. But when Eldest Madam looks away, Su Yaxian, as the Second Miss of the Su family, is the most elegant and quiet matched with her name, but her mind was incomparably exquisite.
But when she looks away, Su Yaxian, as the second lady in the mansion, is the most elegant and quiet in her name, but her mind is exquisite. In the end, she skipped over the Eldest Madam’s control and ended up marrying Second Prince Ning Junyu as the imperial concubine. Furthermore, she married on the same day as Su Yuyi. Although she was imperial concubine, her influence was immense and powerful, ruthlessly trampling on the Eldest Madam’s face.
Su Yajian and Su Yaling were both born of the Ninth Madam. Since these two weren’t outstanding and the Ninth Madam wasn’t favored, they could only try their best to curry favor with Su Yuyi. Su Yuyi was also happy to use them as a foil and earned quite a bit reputation as a friend and sister.
