Chapter 77

Seeing the brilliance in Su Junning's eyes, Cui Yan smiled even wider.

"I like it. I've been picking the one for a long time. Unfortunately, when you arrived at the ceremony, I was busy with my father and forgot to ask my mother to bring it for you. It's a late gift now."

"Thank you cousin, I like it very much." Su Junning pursed her lips and smiled, her face was as delicate as a stamen.

After handing the box to Nan Xu, she asked again with concern.

"Is my grandfather in good health now?"

Cui Yan nodded, "Originally, it was just a cold, but the old man is old, and the wind and cold come quickly, which is a bit scary, and he is fine now."

"That's good." Su Junning nodded.

"What are you two whispering, why don't you come and sit down and have a rest."

Cui Shi, who was walking in front, laughed and shouted.

"Here we come." Su Junning hooked her lips, responded loudly, and turned her head again, "Let's go, cousin."

Cui Yan smiled, followed behind her, and the two passed together.

A group of people sat down to drink tea in the flower hall.

"Brother finally came here, stay a few more days before going back." Cui said softly.

Cui Changxiao shook his head, "There are a lot of things in the academy, and people are inseparable. My trip to the city to visit friends has been delayed for two days. I will leave after lunch with you today."

Upon hearing this, Cui's face showed a bit of disappointment.

"Are you leaving so soon? What about the banquet? He's fine, so he can stay for two more days."

"He has to go back to study, so he can't delay his homework." Cui Changxiao said.

Seeing the growing disappointment on her mother's face, Su Junning hurriedly opened her mouth.

"Uncle, it's hard to come here, don't be in a hurry, at least stay overnight, mother got the news that you and cousin are coming early in the morning, but she has been looking forward to it for several days, last time I came to the ceremony, uncle didn't Laicheng, now that you're back, how about leaving tomorrow?"

Because Su Yi was not there, Su Yuzheng, the eldest son, also stood up to talk and stay.

"Yes, Uncle, it's rare to meet you. My third brother and I still want to ask you for advice."

Although Yingtian Academy is famous, but the academy is located on the outskirts of Bianjing, quite far away from the city. In addition, Su Yi himself studied at Hongwen Academy, which is equally good, so both Su Yuxuan and Su Yu'an studied in Hongwen Academy in Bianjing City. .

There is a bit of sincerity in asking for advice at the moment.

Scholars always like to learn from great Confucians.

Everyone tried to persuade her to stay, and Cui Changxiao saw that his sister was really disappointed, so he finally nodded.

"Then let's stay for one night. I will leave early tomorrow morning and let Yan'er stay here for two or three more days."

"Okay, I've got the guest room cleaned up early in the morning, so brother can stay at ease for one night." Shi Cui smiled immediately.

Cui Yan also answered with a slight smile, "Father really has a lot of time, otherwise he must stay for a few more days. This time let my nephew spend more time with my aunt on behalf of my father."

"Ok, ok, aunt, I wish you could come to play often." Cui's eyes were soft.

After keeping people, everyone drank tea and started gossiping.

Although they didn't sit in the study alone, brothers Su Yuzhen and Su Yu'an were also seriously asking Cui Changxiao for advice and discussing with Cui Yan from time to time.

The teachers like this kind of studious students the most. Cui Changxiao tested the knowledge of the two brothers of the Su family and found that they were both excellent. He sighed for a moment, why they were not sent to Yingtian Academy.

Of course, Cui Yan is no worse than Su Yuxuan and Su Yu'an, so even though Su Yi, the host, is not at home, he is not left alone.

Cui watched them talking with a smile, and Su Junning interjected from time to time, except that Su Zhiyi had been drinking tea in silence and never opened her mouth, it was a happy time.

However, the more happy others seemed, the more Su Zhiyi felt like an outsider.

Obviously this is the Su Mansion, her home, but she always feels that when her father is away, she doesn't belong here anymore.

Especially seeing Su Yuxuan yelling at Cui Changxiao one by one, asking for advice, she felt an uncomfortable feeling of being betrayed.

It seems that in this family, she has always been the only one who has resisted everything related to Cui's stepmother. Others, including Su Yuxuan, who is a compatriot with her mother, are all of one mind.

This not only reminded her of Little Lu, but also made her fantasize that if her mother was still alive, she would love her as much as her aunt, and even love her more.

In that way, father should only have his own daughter, and he will love her even more, and he doesn't have to watch Su Junning act coquettishly in front of father all day long, attracting father's attention.

Thinking of this, and looking at the group of people in front of him, Su Zhiyi became restless.

So he put down his teacup and stood up.

"I'm not feeling well. I wanted to go back and rest, so I resigned."

The excitement in the flower hall came to an abrupt end, and everyone turned to look at her.

Cui looked concerned, "Why do you feel unwell all of a sudden, do you want to call a doctor to take a look?"

"No need." Su Zhiyi refused straight away, "I think it's just the heat of the day, so I'll just go back and have a rest."

"Well, go back and rest. I'll send someone to call you during lunch." Cui Shi nodded.

Su Zhiyi wanted to refuse at first, but she also considered that the Cui family were guests after all, so she had to save face, so she nodded and left with her maid.

Although the people present didn't say anything, everyone tacitly knew that Su Zhiyi was making trouble.

Especially Cui Changxiao.

Seeing the sad look on my sister's face, I felt a little distressed.

If it weren't for the fact that Su Yi was an honest gentleman and the family conditions were excellent, otherwise the Cui family would not have allowed their daughter to marry in as a sequel.

Looking at it now, it is true that being a heir to others and being a stepmother still has troubles.

Fortunately, Su Yi has always loved Cui Shi very much, even though Cui Shi only gave birth to a daughter, Su Junning, after marrying him, he never complained.

Otherwise, if Su Zhiyi made Cui Shi uncomfortable, Cui Changxiao would definitely support his sister.

Hanjin Pavilion.

Not long after Su Zhiyi came back, Mother Luo brought a bowl of iced sour plum soup and a bottle of honey pills to soothe the nerves and dispel the heat.

The big maid, Chuyun picked it up and took it into the house.

"Miss, Madam just sent someone to deliver it."

Su Zhiyi glanced at it, his eyes moved slightly, but immediately waved his hand, "Let's put it aside."

"Yes." Chu Yun nodded, but after picking up the things, he couldn't help but said, "Miss, Ma'am actually treats you very well."

"Speak up!"

Su Zhiyi immediately scolded in a low voice, and immediately snorted coldly.

"Can she treat me badly? If she treats me badly, can dad agree? Even the rumors outside can drown her, but it's just pretending. If she really treats me well, then she should also respect Lu Those of the family, you see her backing Su Junning to be disrespectful to her aunt, that is actually speaking what is in her heart through her daughter's mouth."

Seeing that his young lady was really angry, Chu Yun hurriedly took the things and put them aside, not daring to open his mouth again.
