Chapter 20
"Second sister," Su Xirong suddenly opened her eyes, and looked at Su Muyun who also closed her eyes and meditated, "I really want to say something, but I'm afraid you will get angry if I say it."

That is to say, I still have to say it!Su Muyun curled his lips and looked at Su Xirong, "What's the matter? I promise you, I won't be angry."

Su Xirong bit her lip, and murmured for a while: "The woman just now is the third grandma of the Zhou family."

After finishing the words, he stared at Su Muyun with undivided eyes.

"What...it's her!" Su Muyun raised his voice, then frowned for a while, and sighed heavily.

Su Xirong saw that Su Muyun sighed deeply, so she didn't say anything, and said in doubt: "Second Sister, don't blame her"

"Blame her?" Su Muyun said flatly, "Why?" After a pause, he said softly, "Gengtie Zhou's family has already returned it. From now on, Third Younger Sister, don't associate me with them."

Su Xirong choked, but quickly responded, "I see."

The two then looked away again with their own thoughts, and Su Muyun slowly closed his eyes, but his eyes stopped on the silver-red gauze sachet on Su Xirong's waist.

Is this a hitch?

"Miss San, sorry, this is a pomegranate that just arrived, and it tastes pretty good."

Mrs. Zhang handed the plate in her hand to Su Xirong.The bright red and pink pomegranate seeds peeled by the maids are placed on the translucent white plate, which looks like pearl agate and makes one's mouth full of saliva.

Su Xirong smiled shyly, said "thank you" but didn't move her hands.

Mrs. Zhang winked at the Fourth Miss, Zhou Meiping, who was sitting beside her.

"Let's eat, this was delivered by Hou Longping in the morning. I thought my sister-in-law was going to hide it and eat it secretly." Zhou Meiping handed the plate to Su Xirong while turning her head. She smiled coquettishly at Mrs. Zhang: "Unexpectedly, the third lady is so close to my sister-in-law's eyes that she brought out such good things."

"My stuff, I only give to smart people." Mrs. Zhang said with a smile.

Su Xirong returned a gentle smile to Zhang's pointed gaze.She certainly understood the meaning of Mrs. Zhang's words. Su Muyun didn't find it in the temple yesterday, but she saw at a glance that the sachet in the little novice's hand was hung by Mrs. Zhang. The little novice must have given it to Mrs. Zhang. After chasing after her intentions, she followed suit and accepted Zhang's intentional solicitation.

"Our third lady is the smartest." Zhou Meiping followed Su Xirong's soft smile and said, "It's a pity..."

Su Xirong lowered her head sadly.

"People are only divided into smart and non-smart. Smart people will definitely succeed through their own efforts." Zhang looked at Su Xirong, and said faintly: "Miss San, don't you think so?"

"Third Mistress is right." Su Xirong looked at Zhang and said, "It's just useless for people to be smart but not understand current affairs."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and her smile deepened.

"Meiping, Hou Fu sent some brocade fabrics, you go and pick them out to see if there are any you like." Mrs. Zhang winked at Feng Zhi.

Zhou Meiping knew the mystery of this, so she smiled and told Su Xirong a few words, then turned and followed Feng Zhi to go out.

After a while, only Mrs. Zhang and Su Xirong were left in the room.

Su Xirong couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive, she didn't know what Mrs. Zhang would ask her to do.

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Su Xirong, who looked slightly panicked, and sneered almost invisible in her eyes.Things that can't be on the table!But soon the sneer disappeared, replaced by a more gentle smile.

"Third Miss, I really feel sorry for Second Miss. Her relatives are gone. No matter how good uncle is, it must be someone else's home, right? I really want to help her, but..."

Su Xirong raised her eyebrows, leaned slightly, and said softly: "The third grandma is a kind person."

Mrs. Zhang sighed when she heard the words, with a look of sadness on her brows, "But the second miss doesn't appreciate it, I'm really sad. Third miss, will you help me?"

Su Rong was silent for a while, looked at Zhang and said, "What does grandma want me to do?"

Mrs. Zhang smiled, and said softly: "Miss San refuses to join Zhou Fu because she doesn't want to be a concubine. I have a distant cousin who is not nearly as tall as he is, but has a relatively solid family background..."

"I don't know which son from grandma's family?" Su Xirong looked at Mrs. Zhang.The Zhang family is well-known in most of the city, the female relatives may be raised in a deep boudoir and unknown, but the men are different!Not to mention the spread among the servants, even the ladies in the daily boudoir will say a few words.The distant brother mentioned by Zhang, but who is it?

"You may also know," Mrs. Zhang looked at Su Xirong without moving, "it is Zhang Yupu who lives on Elm Street."

Zhang Yupu!Su Xirong was instantly struck by lightning.But she quickly controlled her emotions, looked at the smiling Zhang with a stiff expression, and thought: What kind of hatred does this third grandma have with Su Muyun, to destroy Su Muyun like this?

That Zhang Yupu got a good name, but he was as bad as he could be, relying on how much money his family had, he did a lot of things like domineering and bullying men and women.Although there is no direct wife in the family, there are quite a few concubines, plus the slightly attractive maid... Outsiders will say that the Zhang family on Elm Street may not even have a few bitches in the house. It's clean!Such a person... There was a thin layer of sweat on the tip of Su Xirong's nose.

"Miss San..." Mrs. Zhang called Su Xirong softly, "What's wrong? Do you feel bad?"

"No...no..." Su Xirong waved her hands quickly, then said after a pause: "Young Master Zhang is handsome and talented, and his family is well-off. If the second sister gets married, it will be her blessing."

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Yes, I think so too."

Su Xirong smiled weakly, pursed her lips, and said hesitantly: "It's just that the father and mother in the family often say that the husband-in-law found for the second sister will make the second sister happy..." She raised her hand as she spoke. Looking at Zhang's expression, seeing that Zhang's expression remained unchanged, Su Xirong couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said, "Su Muyun, grandma, you may not know, but I do. I'm the most picky, I'm afraid..."

Mrs. Zhang covered her mouth and smiled, raised her brows lightly, looked at Su Xirong and said, "Third Miss, you don't have to worry about that. If Second Miss doesn't like my brother, why would she give him something close to her?"

"Send..." Su Xirong looked at Mrs. Zhang in astonishment, and when she saw the smugness in Mrs. Zhang's eyes, she suddenly understood.In an instant, layers of cold sweat broke out on the vest.

Mrs. Zhang wants her to steal Su Muyun's personal belongings and give them to Zhang Yupu. At that time, Zhang Yupu can say that Su Muyun and him are in love with each other based on the things in his hands. Let her, Su Muyun!Su Xirong stared blankly at Mrs. Zhang.
