Description
Su Mo Li is reborn and seven years later is taken back to the Prime Minister's residence and betrothed to the second prince as a side consort.
However, the second prince didn't like the delicate little white lotus and only loved the flashy red peony.
As a result, Su Mo Li is divorced from the marriage.
Outsiders mocked and relatives insulted.
One day at the banquet, the delicate white lotus, with red eyes dripping with tears, threw herself into the arms of the Crown Prince.
The crowd sucked in a breath, who did not know that the Crown Prince hates crying women!
And it was the abandoned woman of his rival, the Second Prince!
The Crown Prince, who was not close to women, felt the softness in his arms, and his face suddenly became as cold as ice.
The crowd trembled: the Crown Prince was going to be angry!
All of the ladies are gloating: Su Mo Li is finished!
But then the Prince asked in a low voice, "Who bullied you? Do you want to tear him apart or kill his whole family? It's all up to you ……"
White Lotus Overturned Daily Chapter 1: Return Home
NOVEMBER 12, 2020 ~ E THEE YOUTUBE BABE
Feng Yun Country, Jin Yang Town, Cushan County, Tianjia Village.
The village was silent and the villagers had fallen into a deep sleep, the occasional barking of wild dogs in addition to the sound of frogs croaking by the river added a bit of vividness to this summer evening.
On the only mountaintop in Tianjia Village, there were two dainty and lovely maidens standing on either side with a heavy look on their faces.
In the depths of the mountain, where even the bravest hunters of Tianjia Village didn't dare to enter, there were more than a dozen corpses lying across the ground.
The dense smell of blood filled the nostrils, causing one to want to vomit.
The sounds of "crunch, crunch" was particularly loud and abrupt in the silent night sky.
The man who was handling the corpses looked up at a woman standing in the center, dressed in coarse linen, and swallowed his saliva, unable to resist, his tone was filled with helplessness: "Miss, can you please eat somewhere else?"
Standing in the middle of corpses and eating, was she not afraid of throwing up!
The girl called "Miss" raised her head, she was no more than twelve years old but had a graceful posture, and a face that was a sight to behold.
The skin on her small, palm-sized face was a little sickly pale.
A pair of clear eyes under the willowy eyebrows, seemingly misting up from time to time, making people feel pity for her.
Slightly pursing her lips, the dimple in her cheeks added a bit of playfulness.
"Chi Cheng, you quickly remove these corpses, I am afraid to look at them, it affects my appetite." That soft and weak voice was trembling, seemingly extremely frightened.
Chi Cheng's mouth twitched: "Miss, these people were killed by you …… Moreover, there are no outsiders here."
So, who are you showing this weak look to?
"Ah ……" The girl seemed to have thought of something, slightly lowering her eyebrows, her small face full of seriousness, "I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense."
Chi Cheng looked at the girl who was talking serious nonsense and rolled his eyes, quickly disposing of the corpses around him.
The girl didn't mind and continued to eat the snack in her hand.
When the sky turned light, the voice of a maid came from outside.
"Miss, there's news from the hillside, the Prime Minister's family is here!"
"Ay ……" The girl sighed quietly as if she felt tired of standing, she simply sat down on a rock and said slowly, "They finally remembered that there's still a Third Miss of the Prime Minister's residence, Su Mo Li?"
Cheng Tao and Chi Cheng looked at each other, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes.
"But calculating the time, it's time to return." Su Mo Li chuckled twice, the corners of her lips slightly curved upwards, and her eyes shone a luminous color, making it impossible to see what she was thinking.
"Miss, it's time for us to go." Huang Fan also walked in, "There are still fifteen minutes left before they enter the village."
After putting the last piece of the snack into her mouth, Su Mo Li patted the crumbs off her hands and faintly ordered, "After Chi Cheng cleans this place up, take the brothers with you and go ahead, Cheng Tao and Huang Fan will follow me."
With that, Su Mo Li stood up, but her body stumbled, and if it wasn't for Cheng Tao's quick eyes and hands, she would have almost fallen to the ground.
Su Mo Li leaned on Cheng Tao's body in a smooth manner and coughed twice, her small face getting paler and paler.
The handkerchief in her hand covered her mouth, her eyebrows were filled with sorrow, and her voice grew weaker: "You guys have to help me out a bit, I'm a weak little girl."
Chi Cheng couldn't help but touch the goosebumps on his arms, and after disposing of the last few corpses, he left as fast as he could.
Cheng Tao and Huang Fan were silent as they looked at each other.
The two maids didn't cooperate, and Su Mo Li didn't feel embarrassed, continuing to say in that delicate, artificial voice, "Let's go, we can't keep the people of the Prime Minister's Residence waiting."
The sound of wheels grinding came from the official road.
Two ordinary carriages quickly crushed the earth.
In the carriage, Su Mo Li's face was slightly pale and she slowly closed her eyes.
In her head were swords and shadows, all the things from her previous life.
She was the daughter of the Eldest Princess of the current dynasty, she should have been favored for the whole of her life, but she never expected that when she was five years old, her mother suddenly died, her grandmother fell ill, her father broke his leg away from home, and she contracted a cold that could not be cured for a long time.
Seeing her condition getting worse and worse, her father felt sorry for her and sent her to the so-called blessed land of Cushan County, Tianjia Village.
This is also her father's hometown.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she came over, the whole family got better.
And rightfully so, she was also placed in the Tianjia Village to pray for her family.
Just ……
It was all an excuse.
"Miss, we' re already out of Cushan County."
Cheng Tao lifted the curtain to take a look, then sat upright and said in a low voice, "Chi Cheng and the others should have arrived at Lingjing Town by now, with our people protecting them along the way."
"Mm." Su Mo Li raised her head, her pair of eyes tinged with moisture and light laughter, "About to return, it's truly delightful."
Saying that, she chuckled twice, the bell like sound was really pleasant to hear.
However Cheng Tao and Huang Fan shivered and touched the goosebumps on their arms, fearing for the people in the capital.
The scenery outside the window was rapidly receding, and Su Mo Li thought of the many assassinations and poisonings she had suffered when she first arrived at Tianjia Village.
At that time, she was too young to dodge an open spear, let alone a hidden arrow.
After five more days, when Cheng Tao lifted the curtain again, she had already seen the word "Capital".
When the carriage entered the capital, it slowed down. In this capital full of noblemen, any one of them could be an imperial relative, even the carriage of the Prime Minister's Residence had to be prudent and cautious.
"I heard that the Eldest Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion has returned, this should be the Eldest Miss's carriage, right?"
"There's another young lady in the Prime Minister's house? Why haven't I heard?"
"Oh, I only heard about this in the past few days, I heard that the Eldest Miss of the Prime Minister's House was praying for the Prime Minister's family at the Ancestral Shrine, and now that she's of age, she's come back."
"So that's how it is, this Eldest Miss is really filial!"
"No, she was only five years old when she left, and now it's been seven years, but if it wasn't for her prayers outside, where would the Prime Minister's family have been on an even playing field? It's just a pity that of the three misses and one son in the Prime Minister's residence, the other two misses and one son are lavishly enjoying themselves in the capital, while the eldest miss is suffering out there."
"Yes, yes, but the Prime Minister shouldn't be able to detain the Eldest Miss, should he?"
"Who knows, after all, the eldest miss isn't the Prime Minister's current wife's real daughter."
"What's all this talk of praying, it's not like he doesn't treat this daughter well!"
"So what if they don't treat her right? Her mother is Princess Huimin! That's a Princess who was praised by the Late Emperor!"
The people whispered and looked at each other with a "you understand and I understand" expression.
"Eldest Miss, please get off the carriage."
A green-clothed momo came down, naturally hearing the voices of the people around her, and frowned, a hint of disdain crossing her face.
Even if her birth mother was the Eldest Princess, so what?
Growing up in that place, I'm afraid she doesn't have the temperament of a noble girl in the capital.
Back in the capital, she would only be a laughing stock!
With the opening of the carriage curtain, Cheng Tao and Huang Fan jumped down. Although they were dressed in sackcloth, they had beautiful faces, and anyone who looked at them would see a bright lively look, indeed the two maids' faces were too gorgeous.
Immediately after, the crowd only saw a slender and elegant hand stretched out, without any decoration on the wrist, just that exposed skin, but it was like cream.
The carriage curtain opened once again, ink-like hair spread out behind her back, and only a very cheap wooden hairpin on her head fixed the bun.
"Miss." Cheng Tao was busy helping Su Mo Li off the carriage.
But Su Mo Li's body swayed a bit and raised her head slightly, her delicate and weak appearance exposed to everyone.
"Hiss ……"
The crowd let out a sucking sound, as they were the people of the capital, the Feng Yun Nation was open and tolerant of women, so they had seen many noble women.
But none of them were so good looking!
A sour beauty in the crowd saw this and couldn't help but murmur, "The beauty covers the present and the past, and the lotus blossom is shy."
"Momo, is it time to enter the house?" The soft sound came over as if dew drops were falling in a pond, making one feel a sense of refreshment.
The sun hanging high in the sky didn't seem so hot anymore.
"This girl, she's so beautiful and youthful!"
An old woman carrying a basket couldn't help but exclaim, "Just that this one in coarse sackcloth, is she a maid?"
Seemingly having heard the old woman's words, Su Mo Li turned her head slightly, her eyebrows filled with weakness, and her face grew pale.
"Eldest Miss, this way please."
"Heavens, this is the Eldest Miss? How come you're not dressed as well as a servant?" That old woman exclaimed once again, "And this Lady is obviously not feeling well, but she doesn't even have an umbrella, is this servant of the Prime Minister's Residence so ignorant?"
"I saw that it wasn't like this with the Second and Third Misses and the Fourth Son before."
The old woman's words once again caused a wave of public opinion.
And while the crowd was making a ruckus, the old woman left.
When Momo Chen heard this, her frown deepened, when she glared at Cheng Tao: "How come you didn't also give your Lady an umbrella?"
"Momo ……" a voice called melodiously, the tone is filled with grief, a pair of eyes containing tears, "Please Momo don't blame Cheng Tao, it is my fault, on the way I am not well, infected with cold, Cheng Tao did not have money, to treat me, the only way to do that is to sell the only umbrella that is valuable …… begging Momo not to blame."
After saying that, she covered her mouth and coughed a few times.
When Cheng Tao and Huang Fan saw this, they couldn't help but reveal their sorrow, and knelt down: "Momo, please, bring Miss a doctor, on the way out Miss said to hurry, not to delay the hour, but now, we've finally arrived at the doorstep of the house, Momo can you please help our Miss?"
"Miss was born weak, please take pity on her Momo ……"
But after Cheng Tao and Huang Fan kneeled down, Su Mo Li was unsteady and swaying.
Seeing that she was about to fall down, a young woman on the side of the room hurriedly helped her, "Miss, are you alright?"
The young woman's eyes were filled with shock and she couldn't help but exclaim, "This Young Lady, you're too light!"
She was afraid that even a gust of wind could blow her away.
Su Mo Li gave a thank you and tried to stand up straight, covering her mouth and coughing gently for a few minutes, "It's my body that is not strong enough, and I ask Momo to forgive Cheng Tao and Huang Fan, I ……"
Saying that, Su Mo Li coughed loudly.
Momo Chen didn't dare to let these few people stand outside the door anymore, and immediately said, "Still don't hurry up and help the Eldest Miss into the house!"
"Sister, how can she enter the house if the gate is not open?" Cheng Tao frowned and asked in confusion.
Momo Chen snorted lightly and said faintly, "Take her through the side door."
It seems that Su Mo Li looked at Momo Chen in disbelief, her lips slightly trembling, the look on her face under the backdrop of the coarse linen clothes more and more pitiable: "Could it be that the Prime Minister is not my father? My father became a lackey of the Prime Minister's House?"

"Miss! Be careful what you say!" Momo Chen's eyes were filled with panic, "How can you insult the Master?"
"Eldest Miss, I know you were grieving in your heart as you prayed for your family in the village of Tianjia, but Master and Madam are thinking of you, how can you be so vicious and curse the Master to become a servant?"
Momo Chen's voice was clear and strong, as if she was afraid that the people around her wouldn't hear it.
Cheng Tao and Huang Fan were standing on either side of Su Mo Li. Catching the smugness in Momo Chen's eyes and knowing that she was trying to ruin their own lady's reputation, they snickered in their hearts right now.
But Su Mo Li covered her mouth and wept quietly, "I, where would I curse my father."
"It's my good fortune that I can pray for my father, so how could I be resentful?"
"For seven years, I haven't exchanged a single letter with the Prime Minister's Residence, and have been praying sincerely at the ancestral shrine, so why would Momo wrong me like this?"
Momo Chen's eyebrows furrowed as she looked the weak and tender Su Mo Li up and down and narrowed her eyes, "If that's the case, then why would Eldest Miss say something like that?"
Su Mo Li's tears fell: "Momo, among the high gates of the capital, those who take the side door are either servants or concubines, I am the First Miss of the Prime Minister's House, yet Momo wants me to take the side door, doesn't it mean that father is not the master but the servant?"
"Otherwise, why would I, as a First Miss of the Prime Minister's Residence, take the side door?"
Momo Chen's face was pale, but Su Mo Li was coughing quietly and her body was shaky.
"Miss, are you alright?" Cheng Tao looked at Su Mo Li nervously.
"It must be an old illness Miss has had! Three years ago Miss in order to pray for the master, despite the bad weather, stayed in the ancestral shrine kneeling for three days and three nights. In order to show her sincerity, she only drank water and did not eat, thus leaving the chest feeling tight and the head feeling dizzy. Today the sun is so strong, I am afraid that Miss will not be able to hold on ……"
Huang Fan muttered with a cryptic voice.
Yet the voice was clearly heard by everyone present.
The eyes of the common people looking at Momo Chen changed and changed again.
"I'm fine ……" The weak voice came over, Su Mo Li held tightly to her chest and coughed twice.
"Momo, it's better to let Eldest Miss go in quickly, I see that Eldest Miss is afraid that she's going to faint, and then when the Master finds out, I'm afraid that he will blame you, after all, this is also the Master's own flesh and blood ah!"
The eyes of the little servant at the side of the door were filled with intolerance.
Momo Chen tugged at the corners of her mouth and managed to reveal a smile, "Eldest Miss, it's this Old Slave's fault, Old Slave thought that the side door was closer to your courtyard, so I wanted you to enter through the side door, Old Slave is ignorant, please Miss, don't blame this Old Slave."
Su Mo Li smiled and said softly, "Momo need not be like this, if it were not for my father's reputation, I would have been able to enter through the side door."
"Momo lead the way ahead, don't let the people see a joke."
Su Mo Li leaned on Cheng Tao, panting slightly as if it was very hard to breathe.
A pair of eyes tinged with moisture, eyelashes trembling, and the weakness between her eyebrows made people feel pity and love from the bottom of their hearts.
After watching Su Mo Li enter the gate, the commoners shook their heads and began to discuss.
"Look at this Eldest Miss, I'm afraid that she's just entered the Prime Minister's Residence and is already having a hard time!"
"You don't say, the noble Eldest Miss wearing coarse sackcloth clothes is not enough, for her to invite a doctor she has to look at the face of the servant."
"Hey, if it wasn't for the two maids beside her who are loyal to their master, I'm afraid this Eldest Miss would have died on the road."
"Yes, the people in this Prime Minister's Residence only know how to enjoy themselves, but they forget that there is a Lady in the countryside who prays for them. The Young Lady cares more about praying for them than taking care of her own body, but they don't even send a letter, it's really chilling."
"I see ah, this Prime Minister, I'm afraid that he doesn't care whether his own daughter lives or dies."
"As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather!"
The crowd scattered as they spoke, but just like that these rumors were spread from one person to another.
Su Mo Li, who entered the Prime Minister's Residence, naturally attracted the attention of many of the servants.
Only, when they saw Su Mo Li's appearance, the maids and boys were shocked.
"Eldest Miss, the Old Lady, and Madam are waiting for you, please hurry up, after all, it's not good to keep the elders waiting for too long." Momo Chen said in an urgent voice, her tone filled with contempt.
Su Mo Li smiled softly and said softly, "What Momo said is true, but if I go too fast and hurt myself, Grandmother will be worried, and it would be even worse for me to make my elders worry."
Momo Chen's eyebrows furrowed, and she turned to look at Su Mo Li, but seeing that her face was still sickly white, and her eyes were filled with a hint of water, she was very helpless.
Looking at such a Su Mo Li, Momo Chen felt that if she said another harsh word, she would be the one who was wicked.
Su Mo Li walked very slowly, the scene here was very familiar.
In the past, after she was killed, her soul returned to the Prime Minister's Residence in the capital, only to find out that everything was arranged by the so-called father and stepmother.
When she found out the truth, her vision slowly blurred and she thought her soul would fly away, but when she opened her eyes again, she came to the world of Cultivation.
When she was about to experience the Lightning Tribulation, she thought she would be able to become an Immortal.
However, she was struck by the 81st thunderbolt and died.
Then, she returned to the time when she was still five years old.
Even though she was an easy-going person, she couldn't help but curse the heavens a few times.
However, since the heavens had managed to bring her back, then she naturally wanted to get back everything from her previous life!
A thousand years of growth, seven years of arranging her troops, hopefully, they would like the great gift she had prepared.
"Miss, here we are." Cheng Tao whispered a reminder, pulling Su Mo Li back from her thoughts, and she saw that Momo Chen had already walked in.
Su Mo Li nodded to Cheng Tao and Huang Fan, stood up straight, and slowly walked in.
Inside, the sounds of laughter that came from time to time made Su Mo Li curl the corner of his lips.
"Old Madame, Madam, Second Miss, and Third Miss are safe and sound, Eldest Miss is here." As soon as Momo Chen's voice fell, the four people present raised their heads.
They looked at the girl with the sun at her back, she slowly walked forward, slightly raised her head, and blinked at the eyes of Old Madam Su above, still blinking her eyes, tears began falling down: "Grandmother ……"
This single grandmother, across the past and present, throughout the millennium.
In the previous life, only this grandmother was sincere and good to her.
She often sent things to her in the village.
After her own death, only this grandmother was sad.
The moment Old Madam Su looked up at and saw Su Mo Li, she simply felt as if she were a little fairy descending to earth, her exquisite appearance causing her to be a little stunned.
However, when Su Mo Li began to speak, the tears that suddenly fell made her heart clench violently.
"Nan Nan?"
Su Mo Li smiled, the dimples on her cheeks dipping in and out, "Grandmother ……"
"Nan Nan-ah!"
Old Madam Su couldn't help but stand up, but Su Mo Li greeted her, directly hugging this small old lady.
It took a while for the two of them to settle down, Old Madam Su wiped the corners of her eyes, looking at Su Mo Li's pale face, there was some concern in her eyes: "Nan Nan ah, are you not feeling well?"
Su Mo Li smiled softly and shook his head.
Cheng Tao on the side show an expression of wanting to speak.
When Old Lady Su saw this, she immediately turned to look at Cheng Tao, "What's going on?"
Cheng Tao even lowered her head: "Old Madam, Miss contracted a cold on the way, but Miss said she was in a hurry, so she didn't see a doctor, she could only take some random medicine."
"Miss has been in poor health, this slave servant is worried ……"
With a sudden, "thud", Cheng Tao kneeled down: "Old Mistress, please hire a doctor for Miss! This slave servant is willing to work like an ox to repay you!"
Old Madam Su looked fiercely at Momo Chen, who panicked and stole a glance at the woman who was drinking tea above her, and also knelt down, "Old Madam, the slave servant did not mean to neglect Eldest Miss, she only thought that Eldest Miss's body was not a problem, so she did not take it to heart, where could she have thought that Eldest Miss's body was so weak."
"Cough!"
Su Mo Li covered her mouth and coughed twice, soft voice rang out: "My body has been sick for a long time, I'm fine, Grandmother don't worry, don't blame Momo Chen, blame me for being too weak ……"
Only, before the words were finished, Su Mo Li's body shook two points, Huang Fan was at the side was busy holding Su Mo Li in her arms, "Miss, don't talk, you regain some strength."
"Your body is already weak, and you've just been out in the sun for half an hour, it's already your limit to last until this moment!"
Su Mo Li shook his head and looked up at Old Madam Su, her face full of admiration, "I'm happy to see my grandmother again ……"
"My body is fine."
"Don't worry Grandmother."
She said this and wanted to get up from Huang Fan's hold.
But the kneeling Momo Chen's back broke out in cold sweat.
When Old Madam Su saw this, she even personally pulled Su Mo Li to sit down beside her, looking at the thin and weak Su Mo Li, whose face was as pale as paper, but the anger in her heart was growing.
"Someone! Take this ungrateful slave away! Twenty strokes!" Old Madam Su's words caused the eyebrows of the woman who had not spoken to lightly arch upwards.
Immediately afterward, she put the teacup on the table with a bang.
Old Madam Su glanced at the woman askance and snorted coldly, "What, Li Shi you have a problem with it?"
Li Shi, Li Qianshi was now the wife of the Prime Minister.
But she smiled and was just about to speak when she heard Su Mo Li's soft and weak voice: "Grandmother don't be angry, Granddaughter just came back today, Grandmother being angry, it is me being unfilial, please Grandmother for my face, forgive Momo, I'm sure Momo didn't mean it."
The look on Li Qianshi's face changed.
Su Mo Li, however, smiled softly towards Li Qianshi and slowly said: "This should be Mother, I just saw Grandmother and was too excited, forgot to greet Mother, it is my fault."
Saying that, Su Mo Li stood up and bowed: "Paying respect to Mother."
Li Qianshi's hand that was squeezing the handkerchief tightened, and then she revealed a loving smile: "We're all family, no need to be polite."
"The courtesies can't be abandoned, after all, Father is the Prime Minister, if people with an interest in the matter saw it, they would say that Daughter doesn't respect her elders."
Su Mo Li said gently, with a shallow smile on her face.
Li Qianshi's heart sank, her eyes deepened a bit, and she slowly smiled: "Xuan'er, Zhen'er, Why haven't you pay your respects to your elder sister yet?"
Translators Note:
Nan Nan – means little darling or dear, it's a form of endearment.
There hasn't been a lot of interest for this novel so I am a little sad But I like it so oh well

Su Xin Zhen is also eleven years old, with a decent smile on her face, but her eyes flickered with a mocking light, looking at Su Mo Li's weak appearance, a hint of mockery crossed her face.
But there was nothing wrong with her etiquette on the surface: "Grandmother forgot about me and Xuan'er as soon as she saw Big Sister, Zhen'er just wanted to greet Big Sister, but couldn't find the opportunity."
Old Madam Su's smile on her face faded a little, slowly said: "Your big sister is no different than you guys in the Prime Minister's Residence, your big sister for our family, was outside suffering, now she's back, you must take good care of your big sister, do not let her suffer from the bullying of others."
Su Mo Li hung her head, acting as a weak white lotus flower.
Su Xin Zhen's words saying that she competed for favors as soon as she came back, showing that she was a restless person.
Grandmother, however, said that what the Prime Minister's Residence had now is all due to her, so to be favored is also her due.
Su Xin Zhen had a stiff smile on her face, but it quickly returned its natural appearance: "Like Grandmother said, I liked Big Sister as soon as I saw her, and in the future, I'll be sure to disturb her, so Big Sister can't be annoyed with me."
Saying that she winked playfully.
Su Mo Li raised her head, her small palm-sized face with a touch of timidity: "It's good that my sister doesn't dislike me, after all, I grew up in the countryside, I don't know anything, in the future, I hope my sister can help me more, if I make a fool of myself, the loss of my face is also the face of the Prime Minister's Residence."
"It's natural, sisters should help each other." Su Xin Zhen said with her teeth nearly clenched.
She had to know that Su Mo Li was coming back, and she was thinking of having her make a fool of herself so that all the noble girls in the capital would know that the so-called First Lady of the Prime Minister's Residence was nothing but a joke!
And now, Su Mo Li was forcing her to agree to help her in front of so many people, so if someone were to laugh at her outside, it would be her own failure to help her elder sister.
If this got out, someone would say that she was duplicitous!
Good, good Su Mo Li!
She looks delicate and weak, but she's also a master at scheming!
"Big sister ……" a small voice came over.
When Su Mo Li looked down, she saw an eight-year-old little girl pulling at her sleeve, a pair of almond-shaped eyes filled with curiosity, "Are you my big sister?"
"You're really good looking ……"
Su Jia Xuan is a dragon and phoenix child with the only son of the Prime Minister, Su Cheng Wang.
Su Xin Zhen is more gorgeous and a bit aggressive between the eyebrows.
Su Jia Xuan, however, was very cute and made people feel affectionate at the sight of her.
"Big Sister, I'm Xuan'er, this is for you."
Saying that, Su Jia Xuan placed a piece of snack in Su Mo Li's hand, "Big Sister, you're too skinny, you need to eat more."
As if to prove that she was telling the truth, she also stretched out her lotus root-like arms: "Big Sister look, Xuan'er's arms are even thicker than the both of yours."
"Hahaha!"
Old Mrs. Su couldn't help but laugh, but her eyes were filled with sorrow as she looked at Su Mo Li, this girl had suffered.
Li Qianshi saw this and echoed a few words, and for a while, the atmosphere was actually joyful and harmonious.
Su Mo Li sat on the side, with a gentle smile on her face, the breeze blew, blowing the ink like hair, but seemed to make her appear more and more delicate.
"Well, Nan Nan is also tired, go back and rest first, when you wake up later, find a doctor to give you a consultation, since you're back, you have to take care of your body."
Old Madam Su sighed, then turned her head, "Ah Ke, can you clean out the Cui Zhu Courtyard?"
"Cui Zhu Courtyard?" Su Xin Zhen couldn't help but exclaim in shock, her face full of incredulity.
Faintly, the jealousy in her eyes could still be seen.
Li Qianshi's hand tightened as she squeezed her handkerchief, but she said without haste, "Mother, a few days ago, I discussed with my husband that the three children living together will help cultivate their relationship, so why don't we give Lianhua Courtyard for Mo Li to live in?"
"Lianhua Courtyard?" Old Madam Su frowned, "No."
"Zhen'er lives in the Muidan Courtyard, Xuan'er lives in the Muihua Courtyard, both of these yards are larger than the Lianhua Courtyard. It's just that the Cui Zhu Court is in the western corner, only has a single view, and the walk to the Muidan Courtyard and the Muihua Courtyard is not close."
"Nan Nan, after all, is the firstborn Eldest Daughter of the Prime Minister's Residence, her own mother is the dynasty's Princess Huimin, and must not be wronged, this Cui Zhu Courtyard was originally built by Huimin for Nan Nan, and is now considered to be returned to its original owner."
Saying that, Old Madam Su stroked the soft hair of Su Mo Li: "Child, what do you think?"
Su Mo Li's face was filled with a bright smile, only this smile set off her pale face: "Thank you Grandmother, thank you, Mother."
"Then it's settled, Ah Ke, you take Nan Nan with you, and tonight we'll have dinner together."
Su Mo Li got up, took two steps back, and politely excused herself, only then did she leave with Momo Ke.
The Cui Zhu Courtyard's Garden is not big, it can be said not as big as the Muidan Courtyard's Garden, but the scenery is the best in the Prime Minister's House.
When you walk in, there are rows of bamboos on both sides, surrounded by some flowers.
The sound of water flowing down from an artificial mountain adds a bit of movement to the silent space.
On the left side of the courtyard is a stone table, but above the stone table are grapevines. An exceptionally quiet courtyard.
"Eldest Miss, this place has just been simply tidied up, and later this Old Slave will bring someone over to check out what's missing, if there's anything Miss wants, feel free to tell this Old Slave."
Momo Ke was extraordinarily respectful towards Su Mo Li.
Su Mo Li smiled lightly and said softly, "Momo needn't be polite, this is already extremely good, coming here is like being in a fairyland."
Momo Ke looked at the color of excitement between Su Mo Li's eyebrows and associated it with the fact that Su Mo Li had grown up in the village, she revealed a look of understanding, and her tone was even more gentle.
"Eldest Miss has only two maids with her now, tomorrow afternoon the People Broker will come over, then Eldest Miss might as well pick a few girls that are to her liking."
"Thank you, Momo."
"This Old Slave wouldn't dare to bother you, Eldest Miss should rest first."
After a while, Momo Ke's back completely disappeared.
Only then did Su Mo Li sit down, looking around in a circle, a seemingly smiling look on her face, her body leaning slightly against the back of the chair, one hand on the table, supporting her jaw, the other hand tapping unconsciously on the table.
Revealing a good-looking arm.
"I have heard that this Cui Zhu Courtyard, Su Xin Zhen has been asking for a year without getting it, I got it with ease, tsk ……"
"I'm really scared, what if she gets me in trouble?"
The corner of Cheng Tao's mouth twitched as she took a look at Su Mo Li and couldn't help but say, "Miss, you don't look like you're scared."
Hmm?
Su Mo Li raised her eyebrows and sat down quickly, her baby teeth biting her lip slightly, her eyes containing tears and a troubled face.
Small hands tangled tightly around the handkerchief, lifting her head slightly and lowering it again.
"Like this?"
The trembling voice made both Cheng Tao and Huang Fan have faces full of black lines.
Huang Fan sorrowfully looked at the Cheng Tao, her expression saying it's all your fault, saying bad things, you actually said Miss is not like a white lotus flower!
Filled with frustration, Cheng Tao said with a forced expression, "Please stop, Miss, there are no outsiders here."
The implication was, put away your pathetic expression!
"Alright, I'm going to go rest for a while, but at night, there's still a tough battle to be fought!"
Cheng Tao and Huang Fan looked at each other.
"The night is going to test the acting again."
"So we'll have to take a break, too."
"Let's go together then."
The two little maids held hands and returned to their rooms as well.
Meanwhile, in Cang Song Courtyard, the main courtyard, Su Xin Zhen was furious, her small face filled with anger, "Mother! On what grounds! I had a hard time begging Dad to relent and give me that Cui Zhu Courtyard!"
"But now, it's been given to Su Mo Li by Grandmother!"
"Where exactly am I inferior to Su Mo Li, and why is Grandmother treating Su Mo Li better than she treats me?"
Su Xin Zhen tilted her head, her little face full of stubbornness.
"Sister, don't you have a courtyard now? Why would you want to rob your big sister?" Su Jia Xuan looked at Su Xin Zhen in confusion.
Su Xin Zhen glared at Su Jia Xuan in a bad mood, "What does it have to do with you?"
Su Jia Xuan curled her lips.
"Okay, Mother knows you're uncomfortable, but you can't be mad at your sister."
Li Qianshi hugged her youngest daughter in her arms and after a few words of comfort, she let the maid leave with Su Jia Xuan.
"Look at what you look like now." Li Qianshi frowned tightly, "Your grandmother is partial to Su Mo Li, that's because Su Mo Li is out praying for the Prime Minister's Residence, she pities Su Mo Li."
"Now that Su Mo Li has returned to the capital when she makes a mistake outside, do you think your grandmother will still be able to protect her?"
"Your grandmother, however, has the best face."
The clear and faint voice was tinged with disdain.
But it magically calmed Su Xin Zhen down.
"But Mother, even so, I'm still angry ……"
Su Xin Zhen's tone was petulant.
How could Li Qianshi not be angry? But the one who spoke was Old Madam Su, knowing that her husband was extremely filial.
Li Qianshi put down the cup of tea in her hand, signaled for Su Xin Zhen to come over, and reached out to straighten the hairpin in Su Xin Zhen's bun, before slowly saying, "There is a loss before there is a gain, Zhen'er, you are a smart one."
"Sometimes, your father's favor is much stronger than a courtyard."
Su Xin Zhen was slightly startled.
Confusion appeared on her face.
Li Qianshi didn't disturb her, just quietly sipped tea at the side.
After a cup of tea, a shallow smile appeared on Su Xin Zhen's face, and she answered Li Qianshi: "Mother, I know."
"Well, go, today your father will test you on your learning, don't lose face."
When Su Xin Zhen heard this, disdain appeared on her face: "What Master taught, I already know it, so I'm not afraid of Father's exam."
After a pause, Su Xin Zhen's eyes turned, as if she had thought of something, and hastily took her leave: "Mother, I'm leaving first."
After Su Xin Zhen left, Li Qingshi's face full of smiles also completely disappeared.
"I didn't expect that Su Mo Li would actually have such an appearance."
"Just ……" Su Xin Zhen sneered, her eyes filled with hostility, her nails scraping on the tea chalice, making a piercing sound, "Such an appearance, she can only be a concubine!"
Chapter 4: Counterattack
NOVEMBER 22, 2020 ~ E THEE YOUTUBE BABE
In the evening, Momo Ke specially came to Cui Zhu Courtyard.
Cheng Tao and Huang Fan helped Su Mo Li dress.
Although it was coarse linen clothing, this good color can't be hidden.
After sighing, Momo Ke greeted Su Mo Li, "Eldest Miss, the Old Lady knows that you came back in a hurry and didn't prepare any clothes."
"These are all newly bought ready-made clothes, you can improvise to wear them first, and tomorrow an embroiderer will come to measure your size."
Su Mo Li smiled softly and said softly, "Thank you, Momo, I like all these clothes, there is no need to be so wasteful."
"Where are your words, Eldest Miss, you're the First Miss of the Prime Minister's Residence, so you naturally deserve the best."
Su Mo Li slowly walked over and touched the clothes in the maid's hands, her tone was marvelous, "It's the first time I've seen such nice clothes, the material is also comfortable."
"It's really nice ……"
The envy in her tone caused a hint of confusion to cross Momo Ke's eyes, and she couldn't help but inquire, "You didn't have these clothes in Tianjia Village, Eldest Miss?"
Su Mo Li laughed, "Momo, I prayed for my family in Tianjia Village, so naturally, I would just follow the local customs and wear coarse linen clothes."
"I've known for many years, my family didn't prepare these clothes for me because they didn't want me to stand out too much."
The soft voice was full of understanding that absolved the family.
Yet Momo Ke was silent.
She handled all the things given to Tianjia Village, and she was quite sure that twice a year, she would send jewelry and clothes to the Eldest Miss.
But ……
Momo Ke's eyes twinkled a bit and she smiled and said, "Miss try on this dress first to see if it fits."
When Su Mo Li changed into the pale yellow dress, it only brightened one's eyes.
The smile on Momo Ke's face was also a little more sincere: "It's really pretty."
"It's the dress that's well selected, thank you Momo."
Saying that Su Mo Li bowed her body towards Momo Ke.
Momo Ke quickly side-stepped: "Miss mustn't bend to this old slave."
"Miss, this way please."
Su Mo Li responded and followed Momo Ke's footsteps towards the front hall.
As soon as she approached the front hall, she heard the sound of laughter coming from inside.
Su Mo Li looked towards Momo Ke in confusion.
Momo Ke smiled and said, "It's the Master coming back, he should be testing Second Miss's learning."
Upon hearing that, Su Mo Li revealed her envy, "Sister is really great, sh is nothing like me who just knows a few words."
Momo Ke's eyes flashed with a hint of pity.
"Old Lady, Master, Eldest Miss is here."
As soon as Momo Ke's words fell, Su Mo Li walked in.
Looking up at the handsome man sitting on the top seat, Su Chen, who would have thought that he was the one who had poisoned her mother!
Her hand fiercely squeezed her palm. She dropped her eyes, and bowed her body: "Hoping Grandmother is well, Father and Mother are well."
The moment Su Mo Li came in, Su Chen felt bright.
The smile on his face was also a little deeper, "It's good that you' re back, you left the capital when you were young and must not understand the rules of the capital. Let your mother and sisters teach you more, don't lose the face of the Prime Minister's Residence outside."
"Yes." Su Mo Li responded.
When Old Madam Su saw this, she greeted Su Mo Li and called her to her side, "In the afternoon, the doctor took your pulse, did he say anything?"
Before Su Mo Li said anything, Momo Ke on the side said, "The doctor said that the Eldest Miss is weak and needs to recuperate."
"Nan Nan only went to suffer for the sake of the Prime Minister's Residence, Chen'er ah, now that Nan Nan is back, you have to make it up to her."
"Not to mention other things, in the end, Nan Nan is the First Miss of the Prime Minister's Residence, no way we can allow a slave to stomp on her face!"
Li Qianshi's heart sank and interrupted Old Madam Su's anger before she could say anything else: "It's my fault, I didn't discipline my servant properly and made Li'er suffer so much."
"It's my fault, I will definitely discipline my servant properly in the future."
Seeing her mother admit her fault, Su Xin Zhen was particularly uncomfortable and couldn't help but mutter, "Isn't it just that she's been out a little longer? Once you come back, you snitch on …… how can Big Sister be so stingy……"
Su Chen frowned, naturally, he heard Su Xin Zhen's words, and now had some displeasure.
Turning his head to look at Su Mo Li, however, he saw that her face was pale, and from time to time she even coughed dryly, as if she was afraid of affecting other people, only coughing carefully and quietly.
And then looking at Su Mo Li's slender body, there was a hint of guilt in his heart, after all, she was also his own child.
Compared to Zhen'er and Xuan'er, she was also a bit too thin and weak.
Su Mo Li seemed to have sensed Su Chen's measuring gaze and raised her head slightly. Her face flushed, her eyes flashed with surprise, and she opened her mouth but closed it.
The shape of his mouth seemed to be calling "father".
Su Chen's heart softened a little more, "How is Li'er's body so weak?"
Su Mo Li stood up in a hurry and bowed her body at Su Chen, "Father, I don't blame Mother for this, my sister is right, I just stayed out for a little longer, it's my body that's not strong enough."
"I didn't expect the sun to be this big today, had I known, I wouldn't have bothered with Momo Chen more, I would have just gone in through the side door."
"It's my fault for causing Grandmother, Father, and Mother to worry about me."
Li Qianshi's eyebrows trembled, and she took a deep look at Su Mo Li, but she saw that her eyes were clear and her face was full of tension.
Could it be that she was thinking too much?
Su Mo Li just told the story, but she didn't intentionally use the "side door" to make an issue out of it?
"Nonsense!" Su Chen shouted angrily, "Li'er is a First Eldest Miss, how can she enter the house through the side door? Who is this servant that doesn't know manners so well, just sell it!"
Li Qianshi pursed her lips and bent her head: "Master, it is this concubine's servant Momo Chen. I blame Momo Chen for just thinking that the side door is closer to the Lianhua Court, but I didn't think of all this, I didn't account for it, so if Master wants to punish someone, punish me."
"Why is Mother talking like this, how can a servant's mistake cause Mother to be punished? It's not a big deal, so please don't mind it Father."
Su Mo Li said evenly, "If it's because of me that Father and Mother quarrel, it would be my fault."
"Just now, my sister has already misunderstood my complaint, if Father punishes Mother, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get a foothold in this house."
Su Mo Li suddenly coughed, her brows full of weakness.
"Miss, drink some water to moisten your throat."
Cheng Tao hastily lifted the cup of tea and waited for Su Mo Li to drink the tea.
Su Chen looked up at Su Xin Zhen, whose face was filled with disdain, and a hint of disapproval crossed his eyes, "Zhen'er, this is your Eldest Sister, how can you be so impolite?"
"Father, my sister is still young, you shouldn't blame her, I quite like my sister, if I had my father and mother's favor, I would naturally be the same as my sister and say whatever I want."
Saying that, Su Mo Li's face showed envy.
A hint of unnaturalness crossed Su Chen's eyes, "Your mother and I naturally love you as well."
Li Qianshi barely smiled: "Yes, Li'er can rest assured."
Saying that, Li Qianshi secretly gave Su Xin Zhen a look.
Su Xin Zhen pursed her lips, her eyes quickly flashed with a hint of disdain, and although she was reluctant, she stood up and came to Su Mo Li's side, reaching out to hold Su Mo Li's hand: "Sister, don't worry, I won't let anyone bully you in the future."
Saying that, a brilliant smile was revealed.
However, Su Mo Li still caught the fierce intentions in Su Xin Zhen's eyes.
As expected, she saw Su Xin Zhen pinch the back of her hand and the corner of her lips hooked upwards.
Quickly taking two steps back, her face showed pain.
Only, the words couldn't come out of her mouth.
Because Su Mo Li was even faster than her!
"Sister! You ……"
Su Mo Li stumbled and fell to the ground, Cheng Tao and Huang Fan reacted even faster, directly kneeling on the ground: "Second Miss, our Miss is weak, what grievances you have directly just say it, why do you want to do ……"
Cheng Tao hugged Su Mo Li and tears fell: "Second Miss, how did my Miss offend you in the end, why are you so cruel ……"
Huang Fan also cried at the side, "Second Miss, you and Miss are sisters! You can be like this in front of the Old Lady and the Master, in the future, in the future, if……wuwuwu……"
"Cheng Tao, Huang Fan, you guys don't do that, my sister was probably careless." Su Mo Li leaned against Cheng Tao, her face pale.
Su Xin Zhen was stunned, surprised by the accusations by Su Mo Li and the maids she didn't react.
She had just calculated the position, the line of sight, so as long as she made herself concealed, everyone would think that Su Mo Li had bullied her.
But why, did it turn out like this?
"What are you waiting for! Hurry up and call a doctor!"
Li Qianshi's eyelids fluttered and she quickly called out.
"Nan Nan, how are you, Nan Nan……" Old Madam Su held Su Mo Li's hand, her face full of worry.
Su Mo Li weakly opened his eyes and opened her mouth to speak when she suddenly coughed, blood spraying on her chest.
"Ah! Miss is coughing up blood!"
Not knowing who screamed, everyone was shocked.
Su Chen was even more filled with incredulity and immediately had people carry Su Mo Li back. Turning to look at Su Xin Zhen, his brows furrowed, "Zhen'er, what have you done?"
"Please, my Lord, make a decision for my Miss!" Cheng Tao and Huang Fan directly knelt.
Su Chen was also angry, he didn't expect Su Xin Zhen to attack her eldest sister right under his nose.
Now, he said in a deep voice, "Su Xin Zhen, you're still not telling the truth!"
"Thud," Su Xin Zhen kneeled on the ground, her entire body trembling, "Dad, I didn't, I didn't do anything!"
Seeing that Su Xin Zhen still didn't say anything, Su Chen's face was filled with disappointment, "Think about it."
With that, he left with a fling of his long sleeves.
Su Xin Zhen's heart beat quickly and she knelt down at Li Qianshi's side: "Mother, I really didn't do anything!"
Regarding her own daughter, Li Qianshi understood.
Looking at Su Xin Zhen's appearance, Li Qianshi helped her up: "Zhen'er, it doesn't matter whether you did or didn't do it now, the important thing is that something happened to Su Mo Li."
"It's her Su Mo Li who set me up!"
Su Xin Zhen's eyes were red and her face was fierce.
Li Qianshi closed her eyes: "It was me who underestimated her."
Late at night, Old Lady Su and Su Chen repeatedly confirmed with the doctor that Su Mo Li only needed to rest well before this left.
As soon as the few people left, Su Mo Li opened her eyes, and the corners of her lips curled up in a seeming smile.
"Miss." Cheng Tao and Huang Fan came over with excitement on their faces.
Su Mo Li gave them a thumbs up, "Not bad, the premiere ended perfectly!"
"But now well……" Su Mo Li got up from the bed, changed into a nightclothes, moved her wrists and laughed out lightly, "Since you have the guts to set me up, you have to bear my anger ah……"

Chapter 5: Acting
NOVEMBER 22, 2020 ~ E THEE YOUTUBE BABE
Cheng Tao and Huang Fan were both shocked when they heard Su Mo Li's words!
One of them tugged on Su Mo Li's arm.
The other was directly hugging Su Mo Li's waist.
The always calm Cheng Tao couldn't help but panic.
"Miss, let's have a conversation!"
"Yes, Miss! This is the Prime Minister's Residence at any rate, what if you forget your promise?"
Huang Fan's words made the anger in Su Mo Li's eyes disappear and frowned, "I know, I won't bring a knife."
Cheng Tao and Huang Fan had smiles on their faces, and at the same time stepped back and bowed their bodies towards Su Mo Li, "Have a good time, Miss, go early and return early."
It seemed that it wasn't them at all who had just stopped Su Mo Li.
Su Mo Li was like a phantom, moving quickly through the Prime Minister's Residence.
Dodging the guards, she arrived directly at the Muidan Courtyard, the place where Su Xin Zhen lived.
As one approached Su Xin Zhen's courtyard, one could hear Su Xin Zhen's abusive and unhappy voice.
"Damn you, Su Mo Li! She set me up! I won't let her go! No!"
'Crash!'
The sound of porcelain shattering on the floor made Su Mo Li pat her chest, "It's so scary……"
"Get out, all of you!"
Su Xin Zhen looked at the surrounding maids, her anger unrelenting.
When all the maids left, Su Xin Zhen's eyes were as if they were engulfed with poison.
Su Mo Li brought a scarf with her and jumped directly from the window to Su Xin Zhen's room.
Without waiting for Su Xin Zhen to scream, she directly covered her mouth.
Raising her hand, she knocked Su Xin Zhen unconscious.
After beating and kicking her a bit, she put the gold and silver jewelry on the dresser into a sack, looked around for a while, and grabbed a few silver bills from under her pillow.
Taking a look at Su Xin Zhen, who had fallen on the floor, she quirked the corner of her lips, a wicked smile in her eyes.
Throwing the sack with a hand and dropping it on her shoulder, one hand grabbed it while the other hand directly lifted Su Xin Zhen up.
Yes, there was no mistaking it, she was lifted up.
And then threw her straight out of the window.
Tilting her head, Su Mo Li revealed a harmless smile: "Hey …… you need to lose weight, you're too heavy! I can't lift you with two fingers, I have to use five."
Kicking Su Xin Zhen with her foot, Su Mo Li returned with a full load.
Looking at the things that Su Mo Li had brought back, Cheng Tao and Huang Fan didn't say anything, one put the sack away and the other put the things right away and disappeared into the night.
Skillfully as if they had to do this on a daily basis.
The next day, a scream spread throughout the Prime Minister's Residence.
Old Madam Su came to Cui Zhu Garden with Momo Ke early in the morning.
Looking at the pale Su Mo Li, she was worried and hugged her warmly.
"It's good that you're fine, yesterday really scared Grandmother. Since you're not well, take good care of yourself, whatever hundred-year-old ginseng or thousand-year-old snow lotus, Grandmother will go to buy it for you."
Su Mo Li shook her head, her face full of a soft smile: "Grandmother need not be like this, my body has an old problem, if Grandmother is harmed from worry, it will be my fault."
"That's right, yesterday I passed out, but only because I had an old illness, it has nothing to do with my sister, I heard that my sister was punished by Father to face the wall, it's my fault."
Saying that Su Mo Li dry cough twice.
Cheng Tao and Huang Fan at the side were busy serving tea and pouring water.
When Old Madam Su saw this, she sighed, this girl was too kind-hearted.
After giving a few instructions, she left with Momo Ke.
"Ah Ke, I see that you don't look well, what happened?"
Old Madame Su was confused and asked.
Momo Ke was silent for a moment and whispered, "Old Madam, something happened in the house yesterday."
"Oh?"
Momo Ke helped Old Madam Su to walk towards the courtyard and whispered, "It's Second Miss's side, I heard that she was seen outside the window this morning, the good news is that although the clothes are messy, they are intact."
"Everything of value in the room has been stolen."
Old Madam Su paused, "You mean, there were thieves in the Prime Minister's Residence yesterday?"
Momo Ke hesitated and nodded, "Indeed, but that thief only stole things from Second Miss's courtyard, it's very strange indeed."
Old Madam Su's face changed and immediately said, "Spread the news that something was lost in my yard as well."
Momo Ke sighed in her heart, "Old Madam's heart is good."
"In the end, she is the daughter of the Su family, if she loses her reputation, it's the entire Su family that will be implicated."
"Okay, when Chen'er comes back, you let him come to my courtyard, Nan Nan's side, you will suffer a bit more."
Momo Ke smiled, "This is what I should do, I see that Eldest Miss is also a gentle person and will never cause trouble."
After a pause, Momo Ke whispered, "Old Madam, only yesterday did this servant learn that the things we have sent to the Tianjia Village over the years have not been sent to the Eldest Miss."
Old Madam Su squinted her eyes, "I know this matter by heart."
"Yes."
After Old Madam Su had left, after a while, Su Mo Li got up and changed into a white dress.
"Miss, the more you wear this dress, the weaker you look." Huang Fan said with a smile as she groomed Su Mo Li.
Su Mo Li looked at the soft and frail face in the mirror and thought about it, drawing a red flower blossom mark on her forehead, which added a bit of delicate and adorable air.
"It's almost time, let's go."
Saying that Su Mo Li got up and was held up by Cheng Tao and Huang Fan, walking towards the front door.
"Eldest Miss is looking well."
"Greetings, Eldest Miss."
Su Mo Li looked at the way everyone bowed and greeted her, and a blush appeared on her small face, "There's no need to be polite, everyone."
Seeing how gentle Su Mo Li was, a maid of courageous attitude couldn't help but ask, "Eldest Miss, are you leaving the house?"
Su Mo Li's face grew redder and redder, shaking her head, she said softly, "No, I want to wait for Father to leave for court."
"Eldest Miss is truly filial." The surrounding maids couldn't help but praise.
Su Mo Li even waved her hand, her small face full of shyness, "No, it's just that I haven't seen Father for many years ……"
"Plus, yesterday my sister merely accidentally pushed me, it was my bad body that made me faint, but Father seems to have blamed my sister, and I want to wait until Father comes back from court to inform him so that he doesn't wrongly accuse my sister."
"In the end, it's my body that's not strong enough."
The words were said, with a grievous look on her face.
Who could bear such a stunningly beautiful and kind-hearted woman displaying her sorrow in front of them?
Looking at Su Mo Li's back, the maids were talking about it.
"I heard about yesterday's incident, Second Miss must have made a move on Eldest Miss, otherwise Eldest Miss wouldn't have vomited blood ah!"
"Yeah, no matter how weak your body is, can you vomit blood if you're pushed? I don't believe in it, it must be something Second Miss did, hey, Second Miss is already domineering, and Eldest Miss is so weak, it's really heartbreaking."
"No, if the Eldest Princess were still here, the Eldest Miss would not be bullied."
"Don't say this nonsense, if it reaches the ears of our Madam, you'll have a hard time."
"By the way, did you hear about it? Something happened to Second Miss today."
A few maids muttered for a while, then laughed, "So ah, the bad guys have their arms around her, although she bullied the Eldest Miss, it's all good now, retribution!"
Su Mo Li's standing in front of the Residence waiting for Su Chen was known to Su Xin Zhen.
"Bitch!"
Su Xin Zhen quickly climbed up from the bed, her face was fierce and grim, "I knew she was going to tell on me! No, I have to stop her!"
"Miss, please wait, perhaps the Eldest Miss isn't going to tell on you……" said the eldest maid Chun Fen beside Su Xin Zhen in a hurry.
"Hmph! Why do you think she went to the front door early in the morning to wait for Father, if not to tell on me?"
"It must be about yesterday, she's trying to be evil!"
"I didn't touch her and I'm not going to let her get away with it! Hurry up and change my clothes!"
Su Xin Zhen quickly dressed and stormed off towards the gate.
As soon as Su Chen got off the carriage, he saw the figure of Su Mo Li and frowned, "Why are you standing here? What is this?"
"Father."
Su Mo Li bent her body and raised her head slightly, her small face somewhat anxious.
This anxiety set off this appearance more and more vividly.
Unconsciously, Su Chen's anger was a little less, "What's going on?"
"Father, there was really something urgent to tell Father, so I waited for him because of what happened last night."
"Oh?" Su Chen's newly risen good feelings disappeared for a moment.
With a faint glance at Su Mo Li, "I've already asked your sister to face the wall, although she has mistakes, she's your sister, after all, she has to be forgiven, so don't be too harsh."
"If there's nothing else, leave first."
Saying that, Su Chen flung his long sleeves and was about to leave.
"Father, that's not what I meant, I want to say that yesterday's incident has nothing to do with my sister, and she shouldn't be confined." Su Mo Li quickly took two steps and tugged on Su Chen's sleeve, "Father, yesterday really had nothing to do with my sister, and I would like to ask Father to release her."
Su Chen was stunned, he had lived most of his life, experienced many things, and he thought he knew a good deal about people's hearts, but he didn't expect that Su Mo Li would actually speak for Su Xin Zhen.
"Cough, cough." Su Mo Li was in too much of a hurry and coughed dryly her little face reddening.
A surge of guilt arose in Su Chen's heart: "Li'er don't worry, speak slowly."
Su Mo Li didn't allow the matter to slow down, the hand tugging on Su Chen's sleeve tightened slightly, as if she was afraid that Su Chen would suddenly run away.
"Yesterday, my sister just accidentally pushed me, she didn't do anything to me, it was my weak body, and because I contracted a cold on the way, and was in the sun for half an hour, so it triggered the old sickness, it has nothing to do with my sister ……"
"You shut up!"
A furious shout came over.
Su Xin Zhen's face was filled with anger, and she quickly walked over in three steps, raising her hand to slap Su Mo Li.
Su Mo Li screamed, "Father!"
With that, she hid behind Su Chen and trembled.
Looking at the ruthlessness on Su Xin Zhen's face, Su Chen directly grabbed Su Xin Zhen's wrist, "What are you doing?"
Su Xin Zhen didn't think that Su Mo Li would actually dare to hide, her heart grew angrier and angrier, not caring that Su Chen was here, she shouted, "Su Mo Li, you get out of here! You little bitch!"
'Pop!'
Su Chen slapped Su Xin Zhen directly in the face.
For a moment, there was a terrible silence.
With tears in her eyes, Su Xin Zhen covered her cheeks and looked at Su Chen incredulously, "Father, you hit me! You actually hit me for Su Mo Li!"
Su Chen's eyes crossed with a hint of heartache, just before he was about to speak, he heard Su Mo Li kneel on the ground with a 'plop,' "Father, it's this daughter's fault, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have hit my sister."
"But, Sister, what have I done that you want to insult me……"
Su Mo Li looked up, a pair of eyes filled with tears, her eyelashes quivered, and tears slid down her cheeks.
The sickly white face carried a few hints of grievance.
Voice trembling, she softly said, "Should I have not come back, so that my sister would not quarrel with Father?"
Su Chen's heart suddenly sank, the pain in his heart disappeared in a moment, his icy eyes looked at Su Xin Zhen, "I'm the one who let Li'er come back, is this action of yours against my decision?"

Su Xin Zhen saw Su Chen's face sink, and a surge of panic arose in her heart.
If it was before, when she cried, Su Chen would definitely coax her.
"Father, I didn't ……"
Su Chen looked at Su Xin Zhen coldly, "No, then what are you doing this for?"
"Father, don't blame my sister, it's all my fault."
Su Mo Li's face was filled with anxiety, and she pleaded with a strong voice.
Hearing this, Su Chen sighed and felt more and more guilt.
He didn't like Su Mo Li's mother, Princess Huimin, but Su Mo Li was his daughter after all.
"Li'er, get up." Saying that, Su Chen reached out his hand to help Su Mo Li up, "Your body is already not good, don't kneel on the ground at every turn, why are your hands so cold?"
Su Chen took a look at the sky, it was clearly a bright sunny June day.
Frowning, Su Chen looked at Cheng Tao and Huang Fan, "Take my name card and go ask the Imperial Doctor to come and take a look."
"Yes!" Huang Fan immediately responded, received Su Chen's name card, and quickly walked out.
Su Xin Zhen stared at Su Chen, she had always been the jewel in Su Chen's palm.
No matter what she wanted, Su Chen would always agree to it.
Even her own sister, Su Jia Xuan, was not as favored as her.
But now, Su Chen was speaking coldly to her, caring for and loving Su Mo Li, how could she bear this!
Raising her skirt now, she stood up and rushed straight towards Su Mo Li!
"Sister! Don't you hit Father!"
Although Su Mo Li was dealing with Su Chen, she had been paying attention to Su Xin Zhen, and when she saw her rushing over, she immediately hugged Su Chen and shouted out this outlandish phrase.
Su Chen quickly reacted, hugging Su Mo Li and taking two steps back.
"Sister, how could you fight Father, how could you ……"
Su Mo Li's face was full of disbelief, she then looked at Su Chen, full of worry, "Father, are you alright ……"
Her trembling voice leaked her nervousness.
Su Chen's face was now very pale.
Su Xin Zhen was also stunned, her brain exploded with a bang, and her whole being panicked.
"I didn't! Su Mo Li! Don't talk nonsense! You're the one who spoke ill of me in front of Daddy, right! I'll kill you!"
"Enough!"
Su Chen shouted, his face showing his anger.
"Someone! Take the Second Lady away and lock her up at the ancestral shrine. Let her face the wall!"
Saying that Su Chen looked at Su Mo Li. Seeing that her face was pale, and cold sweat was already appearing on her forehead, he softened up a bit and shouted at Cheng Tao, "What are you waiting for? Still haven't helped your lady to rest in the house yet!"
"Father!" Su Mo Li stubbornly shook his head, "Don't blame my sister, it's my fault."
"Father knows." Su Chen sighed, "Go rest, this matter is in Father's heart."
Su Mo Li saw this and her face was filled with worry. She nodded and bowed her head towards Su Chen before leaving.
Li Qianshi who got the news, however, was stunned, "What did you say? Zhen'er was locked up in the ancestral shrine? How is that possible?"
Momo Chen replied evenly, "Madam, there is no mistake, I heard that at the entrance of the house, the Master not only struck Second Miss but also sent Second Miss to the ancestral shrine to face the wall."
Li Qianshi's eyebrows furrowed: "Who else was there besides the Master and Zhen'er?"
"The Eldest Miss." A hint of confusion crossed Momo Chen's eyes, "Madam, I always feel that the Eldest Miss is devious."
Li Qianshi was silent for a moment then slowly said, "Go, let's go to the ancestral shrine."
As soon as Li Qianshi approached the ancestral shrine, she heard cursing from within.
With a "creak", the door opened.
Su Xin Zhen quickly turned her head, and when she saw Li Qianshi's figure, she cried more and more bitterly: "Mother!"
"Zhen'er, what the hell is going on?" Li Qianshi stroked Su Xin Zhen's face and touched the slap marks that were still visible on her face, causing her heart to sink, "Zhen'er, you tell Mother everything that happened today."
Su Xin Zhen cried as she revealed what had happened today, "Mother, it must be that slut Su Mo Li! If she hadn't said bad things about me in front of Daddy, why would Daddy punish me and beat me!"
Li Qianshi's pupils flickered with anger, holding Su Xin Zhen in her arms, she slowly stroked Su Xin Zhen's back, making sure her emotions were stable before she whispered: "Zhen'er, you're mistaken."
Su Xin Zhen was stunned, incredulous as she looked at Li Qianshi, her voice sharp and thin: "Mother!"
"Zhen'er, Mother told you that what your father hates most is having the decisions he makes questioned and opposed."
"Mother, I didn't ……"
Su Xin Zhen was busy defending herself.
Li Qianshi sighed and looked at Su Xin Zhen, sighing in her heart that she was still a child in the end.
"Su Mo Li is the one your father wants to bring back, since that's the case, no matter how much you hate her, you can only pretend to like her."
"Besides today, you just relied on your own judgment and thought that Su Mo Li said something wrong about you in front of your father, but have you ever thought that Su Mo Li didn't?"
"It would be good for you if the Su Mo Li were to complain about you in front of your father, it would make your father think that she is a narrow-minded person."
"But what does it mean that your father is so angry at your words?"
Su Xin Zhen came back to her senses, her mind rapidly spinning, "That means that Su Mo Li was saying good things even if she mentioned me in front of her father."
"Right!"
Relief appeared on Li Qianshi's face: "Only then, your father will be especially angry when you insulted Su Mo Li, and I'm also to blame for underestimating this Su Mo Li."
"Then Mother, will Father get tired of me!" Tension appeared on Su Xin Zhen's face, "Mother, what should I do?"
"Show weakness." Li Qianshi's lips curled up into a smile, "One of the most important weapons a woman has is to show weakness."
Li Qianshi saw a confused look appear on Su Xin Zhen's face and broke off her words to explain to her.
Su Xin Zhen's face showed a sudden understanding, "Mother, Daughter understands."
"Now that you understand, just face the wall in front of your ancestors, I believe that Zhen'er is a smart child."
With that, Li Qianshi stood up and was helped out by Momo Chen.
"Go to the Cui Zhu Courtyard."
In the Cui Zhu Courtyard, Su Mo Li looked at the Imperial Doctor who walked in and was somewhat impressed.
Cheng Tao, however, stared at Huang Fan as if she was an enemy.
Huang Fan's face revealed her innocence, she also does not want to!
"Miss, please extend your hand." The gentle, jade-like voice made one's heart tingle.
Coupled with such a stunning face, it was pointless to try to find fault with it.
Su Mo Li stretched out her wrist as per the request, that slender wrist made the Imperial Doctor faintly frown.
It was only after covering it with a single handkerchief that the pulse was taken.
Su Mo Li's eyes fell on the Imperial Doctor's hand, and a hint of surprise crossed her face.
Beautiful!
Long and strong!
And then looking at that face, it really goes along with the saying, "There are gentlemen, cut and polished, like fine jade".
However, there is no way to describe his beauty in plain language.
The lightly pursed lips reveal his seriousness.
Su Mo Li's other hand was supporting her jaw, a pair of eyes unbridled.
However, when the Imperial Doctor looked up to inquire, she quickly reverted back to normal with a pair of eyes that were filled with water, cute and adorable.
"Miss's body is weak, it is not advisable to be extremely happy and sad, it is good to have more rest." Saying that the Imperial Doctor wrote down a prescription and nodded his head towards Su Mo Li.
"Imperial Doctor, please stay."
Su Mo Li got up and swayed slightly twice, the Imperial Doctor couldn't help but reach out and grab Su Mo Li's arm.
Thin!
So skinny!
If you exert pressure, I'm afraid it'll break!
"I wonder how to address the Imperial Doctor?"
Su Mo Li smiled wanly, as if she was a budding blossom bone, making it impossible to refuse.
"Shi Jun."
"Many thanks." Su Mo Li bowed her body, then looked at Cheng Tao, "Go and take the jade pendant in the red carved box out and give it to Dr. Shi Jun."
"No need, it's my duty." Shi Jun cupped his hands with a faint smile on his face, "Farewell."
Cheng Tao, however, quickly took the jade pendant out and handed it to Su Mo Li.
Su Mo Li placed it in Shi Jun's hand without any hesitation, "Imperial Doctor, slow down."
Shi Jun was astonished, how else could he forcefully return it?
To Su Mo Li's smiling eyes and soft grace, he always felt that if he refused, the person in front of him would faint.
Then he could only take it, thanking her again and leaving.
How nice of herself!
The smile on Shi Jun's face grew a little more as he thought this.
"Your Highness, Prince!"
When the boy outside saw Shi Jun, his eyes lit up and he flew over, taking another look around before whispering, "Prince, if Imperial Doctor Lin finds out that you've been treating patients privately again, you'll be punished again!"
"What are you afraid of?" Shi Jun said unconcernedly, "He'll forget about it in a few days."
"Then for a few days, you won't go to the Imperial Hospital?"
"Naturally, I'm not going." A brilliant smile appeared on Shi Jun's face, "I'm going to follow my father to manage political affairs."
The corner of the boy's mouth twitched, "Prince, you are trying to use the Emperor to hide from Imperial Doctor Lin ……"
With a dark glance from Shi Jun, the boy immediately covered his mouth.
A pair of eyes turned and changed the subject, "Prince, let's go back to the palace."
"Well, I heard that the subordinate country has offered a lot of things again, cough." Shi Jun coughed twice, and said in a serious manner, "As a child, one must be filial to one's elders, let's go, let's go bring soup to Father."
The little boy took two steps back and touched the back of his head, "Prince, if you want those treasures, just say ……"
Shi Jun stared at the boy for half a moment, "Little Guozi, sometimes the more you know, the faster you die ……"
In the Cui Zhu Courtyard.
Su Mo Li's eyes shone brightly, exclaiming, "Since when are there such handsome men in the world, tsk! What do you think I should do to snatch him closer to me?"
Cheng Tao was hopelessly angry, "Huang Fan, was the Imperial Hospital empty?"
"You can't blame me! As soon as I entered the Imperial Hospital, this Imperial Doctor was extremely excited and insisted on coming along."
"I saw that the other Imperial Doctors were busy with other matters at hand, so that's the best I could do."
Cheng Tao slapped her forehead: "It was just a matter of time anyway, we'd better find a way to stop Miss from snatching someone."
Huang Fan shivered, "Cheng Tao, I think it's a bit difficult, don't forget, the jade pendant given by Miss is in a red box, it's the only one of its kind in the world!"
"And I'm afraid of getting hit for trying to stop a Miss from grabbing a good-looking person ……."
After a moment of silence, Cheng Tao raised her head, and looked into Su Mo Li's smiling eyes and couldn't help but shiver, "Miss, Think Twice!"

Su Mo Li changed her posture, leaning on the back of the chair, and tenderly said, "What are you guys planning to do? It's not like I'm going to do anything to him, I'm raising him, right?"
"How much silver does one make as a doctor?"
That soft voice made Cheng Tao's heart beat faster and faster, and she couldn't help but say, "Miss, the gentlemen you had your eyes on before are all kept in the manor, they are so bored that they have learned all eighteen martial arts, and as long as they have bullied you, they have all been punished to the point of mental breakdown."
"Miss, these people are getting scarier and scarier, if you let the Imperial Doctor also enter the group, I'm afraid …… that I ……"
"What are you afraid of?" Su Mo Li looked at Cheng Tao in confusion.
Cheng Tao's eyes closed and she said as if she were dead, "Gongzi Chen was a painter before, but now he likes to paint on corpses."
"Gongzi Li liked to embroider work, but now he likes to sew on corpses."
"Gongzi Ma liked to carve, but now he only likes to carve things on corpses."
"Miss, Gongzi Shi is an Imperial Doctor and saves lives, I'm afraid he'll become a homicidal man in the future!"
Su Mo Li was thoughtful, "Isn't that just right? In the future, Gongzi Chen, Gongzi Li, and Gongzi Ma won't have to worry about the corpses."
Cheng Tao's pair of eyes rounded: "Miss, the corpses you prepared for them are already enough ……"
"Yes?" Su Mo Li raised her eyebrows.
Cheng Tao was busy giving Huang Fan a look.
Huang Fan quickly said, "Miss, if that person finds out, you'll lose!"
The corner of Su Mo Li's mouth twitched, chagrin appearing on her face, "Why did I make this bet with him in the first place?"
"Miss, after all, it's under the foot of the Heavens, in the capital, we'd better keep a low profile."
Cheng Tao let out a sigh of relief in her heart and was about to say something when footsteps sounded outside.
"Greetings to Madam."
The maid's voice came over.
Cheng Tao and Huang Fan quickly looked towards Su Mo Li.
In the blink of an eye, they saw that she had lost her spirit from a moment ago and transformed into a weak beauty, leaning on the bed and squinting her eyes slightly.
"Where is your master? I wonder if your Miss has to be begged to greet? The master came from the countryside and doesn't know the rules, don't you servants know how to remind the master?"
Momo Chen shouted harshly.
It seemed like she was reprimanding the maids, but in reality, she was telling the crowd that her identity was not acceptable to the public.
After a few mocking chuckles in her heart, Su Mo Li allowed Cheng Tao and Huang Fan to help her up, and slowly walked out.
"Greeting Mother, please ……"
"Ahem! Ahem!"
Before she could finish her sentence, Su Mo Li collapsed onto the Huang Fan, coughing quietly.
The little face turned red from coughing instantly.
Cheng Tao was busy bowing her body with panic on her face: "Forgive me, Madam, Miss's health is really not good, the Old Madam and the Master have asked Miss to come back to rest, which is why she didn't have the time to pay respects to Madam."
Li Qianshi's eyes were cold.
This maid was all but telling herself that the Old Madam and the Master had let Su Mo Li rest, and if she was aggressive, she was going against the Old Madam and the Master.
"Li'er, get up quickly, we're all family, there's no need for that."
Worry appeared on Li Qianshi's face: "In a little while, the people broker will come, I'm also afraid that you don't know the difference between good and bad people, that's why I want to help you chose."
"Thank you, Mother."
Su Mo Li said with a breathless voice.
As soon as the few people took their seats, Momo Ke's voice sounded outside.
"Greeting Madam." Momo Ke bowed her body after seeing Li Qianshi.
Li Qianshi even helped Momo Ke up: "There's no need to be polite, Momo."
"I'm afraid that Li'er has just returned and doesn't know how to choose a maid, so that's why I came to take a look." Li Qianshi explained her intention without moving a muscle.
Momo Ke smiled: "It's still the Lady who is thoughtful, but these maids the Old Madam has already looked at them, they are all fine, as long as Eldest Miss likes them, they can just stay."
Saying that she called out to the people outside.
The little maids were seen walking in.
Su Mo Li took a look at Cheng Tao, and when she shook her head she knew that her people didn't mix in.
"Eldest Miss, do you see any suitable ones?" Momo Ke smiled and asked.
Li Qianshi swept a glance and lowered her eyes, since Momo Ke said that they had already passed the Old Madam's hurdle, she naturally wouldn't say anything more.
Su Mo Li revealed a soft smile: "Can you guys raise your heads for me to see?"
The people below heard this and raised their heads.
Su Mo Li noticed that there was a little maid in the corner who seemed to be panicking, and the moment she lifted her head, Su Mo Li's eyes lit up.
"The last girl in the fifth row wearing green clothes, what's your name?"
The little girl in the corner puffed out her knees: "This slave girl Erma has seen Miss."
The voice was also beautiful.
The smile on Su Mo Li's face grew thicker, then she tilted his head, looked at Momo Ke, and said softly, "Momo, I like her."
Momo Ke was in a trance for a moment as she looked into Su Mo Li's eyes.
The agile eyes and exquisite face caused her to be momentarily blinded.
Only when Su Mo Li coughed did she bring back Momo Ke's thoughts.
She even poured a cup of water and handed it to Su Mo Li, then whispered, "Miss, this girl is too beautiful, and in the end, being a maid she has to be nimble with her feet."
Su Mo Li knew that Momo Ke was doing it for her own good, and couldn't help but smile softly, "Momo, I want some good-looking maids so that even if I'm weak and can't go out to see the scenery, I can still look at them and feel good."
Momo Ke remembered that the looks of Cheng Tao and Huang Fan were not worse than this Erma.
However, every time the three of them came out, her attention could only be on Su Mo Li.
And yes, who could compare to the Eldest Miss's gorgeous face?
Thinking this way, SMomo Ke nodded, "Erma come here."
Erma obviously didn't expect that she was chosen.
Su Mo Li ordered two more maids of good quality looks before Momo Ke left with the others.
After Li Qianshi instructed a few words, she sighed, "Li'er, your sister is inconsiderate, I will apologize on behalf of your sister for what happened today."
"Mother is too serious." Su Mo Li instructed Cheng Tao to take the maids away, before saying, "Mother, don't worry, I'll go and beg Father to release my sister later."
"That's not necessary." Li Qianshi had a smile on her face, "As long as you don't blame your sister, it's good. Zhen'er's temper has grown, it's good to lock her up."
"Mother knows that you have been wronged, you have just come to the capital, there are many things to add, I don't know your preferences, take this silver, just buy whatever you want."
Saying that, Li Qianshi handed ten taels of silver to Su Mo Li, and said a few more words before she left.
As soon as Li Qianshi left, Su Mo Li sneered and played with the silver in her hand, asking in confusion, "How are the prices in the capital?"
Huang Fan bowed her head in thought before saying, "Ten taels of silver can buy a set of shoddy ready-made clothes."
Upon hearing that, Su Mo Li blinked her eyes and spoke leisurely, "In that case, Huang Fan, go tell Father that Mother gave me silver and that I was a little scared, so I came to consult Father."
Huang Fan instantly understood, and with a strong smile, she responded and quickly left.
"Miss, the three new maids have been arranged." Cheng Tao lifted the curtain and walked in.
"Well, the three of them will be left to you." Su Mo Li smiled, "Let's go to Grandmother's yard, otherwise I have nothing to do."
At this time, Su Chen was in Old Madam Su's courtyard, listening to Huang Fan's words, his face flushed red.
Old Madam Su sneered, "She can be really generous, ten taels of silver? Zhen'er can buy any food for more than ten taels of silver!"
"Mother, don't be angry, it's your son's fault." Su Chen was busy pacifying Old Madam Su.
Huang Fan lowered her head and whispered, "Old Madam, ten taels of silver is already a lot, you can spend two months in the village and still eat meat for a meal! Miss is thinking it's too much silver and she doesn't dare to take it ……"
When Old Madam Su heard the news, her eyes turned red: "Chen'er, it's just that you don't like Nan Nan's birth mother, but Nan Nan is also your child! If it weren't for Nan Nan's daily prayers for you and for our Su family, how could we be getting better and better!"
"Chen'er, the back of your hand is flesh, you can't afford to be too generous!"
Su Chen's face was also full of complexity, and he sighed, "You go to the accounts room and bring back Eldest Miss's monthly silver."
Huang Fan looked at Su Chen in shock and said with a trembling voice, "Master, does Miss still have the monthly silver?"
Su Chen only felt a surge of sorrow in his heart, Li'er is also his own child, no matter what, food and clothing should not be less for her.
Nodding his head now, he said, "Fifteen taels a month, if there is anything you like, if the silver is not enough, come to me."
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Old Madam!" Huang Fan was delighted, "This slave servant is going to tell Miss."
Just as she was about to run out, she seemed to think of something, her face went white, and immediately knelt down, "Old Madam, Master please forgive my rudeness."
Old Madam Su waved her hand: "You are also loyal to your Miss, okay, go down, just don't be so reckless in the future."
"Yes, Old Madam."
After Huang Fan went out, the excitement on her face disappeared instantly, she looked up, just in time to see the figure of Su Mo Li and quickly walked over.
"Fifteen taels?" Su Mo Li smiled gently, "You guys take it and go buy food."
Huang Fan's mouth twitched, "Miss, you give us a hundred taels of silver every month, where else do we need the fifteen taels of silver."
Cheng Tao couldn't help but laugh, "You're not satisfied with the money!"
"Exactly!"
Su Mo Li also laughed, "Okay, no matter how small the fly is, it's still meat, it's good to take it to buy buns for the poor."
"Come on, let's go in."
When Su Mu Li went in, she felt that the atmosphere was bad, but her face was revealed nothing. She was just about to salute and greet when she was stopped by Old Madam Su.
"Nan Nan come over, come sit here with Grandmother."
Su Mo Li laughed shyly and quietly looked at Su Chen, seeing that he didn't object, before quickly walking over.
Su Mo Li's reaction Su Chen naturally saw it clearly, and for a moment, his guilt grew bigger and bigger.
"Grandmother."
Su Mo Li held Old Madam Su's hand, her small face full of smiles.
"It's been hard for you, child." Old Madam Su lovingly stroked Su Mo Li's hair, "Is there anything you want? Or any wishes?"
Su Mo Li's eyes flickered with confusion.
Su Chen at the side also said evenly, "Good, Li'er, you can ask for anything, Father will definitely satisfy you."
"Really?" Su Mo Li looked towards Su Chen, her eyes shining brightly.
There was anticipation on her small face that was palm-sized.
Su Chen nodded his head: "Just say it."
Su Mo Li's face was tinged with two flushes, "I, I want to learn to read and write."
Even Su Chen didn't expect that Su Mo Li would actually mention this request.
Old Madam Su was stunned and asked tentatively, "Nan Nan, don't you want nice clothes and gold and silver jewelry?"
Su Mo Li turned her head to Old Madam Su's eyes and shook her head, "Grandmother, these are just outside of my body, before, in the village, I was envious when I watched those children go to school, so can I study?"
"Yes, naturally!" Old Madam Su stated immediately, "Tomorrow, you'll be with Zhen'er and Xuan'er, our family has hired female masters to teach you whatever you want to learn."
"Thank you, Grandmother, thank you, Father!" Su Mo Li couldn't help but cheer up.
"Three days later, Madam Marquis is hosting a flower viewing banquet, can Nan Nan go with Grandmother?"
Su Mo Li was a little apprehensive, "But Grandmother, I've just come to the capital, I don't know anything, will I embarrass Grandmother?"
"How? Our Nan Nan is the best, these three days, learn the rules well."
Old Madam Su said with a smile.
Su Mo Li naturally agreed.
Su Chen wanted to say something, but Old Madam Su glared back.
In the evening, Su Chen returned to the Liuli courtyard and became furious, scaring Su Xin Zhen, who had just returned from the ancestral shrine with a ghastly pallor.
"Father, I was wrong, I shouldn't have started a conflict with my Big Sister." Said Su Xin Zhen, kneeling down on the ground, "Father, I'm scared wuwu, does Father not want Zhen Er?"
Su Chen was slightly startled.
"Daddy, as soon as Big Sister came back, Daddy's eyes were without Zhen'er, Zhen'er knows that Big Sister suffered outside, but Zhen'er's heart was also hurt as she watched Daddy loving Big Sister, I'm sorry Daddy."
Su Xin Zhen is in the end the daughter that Su Chen held close to his heart, listening to Su Xin Zhen's little girl's heart, where would he still blame her. He helped Su Xin Zhen up, looking at the tears on her face, and sighed, "You, Dad loves you the most, and how could he not love you because your Big Sister is back?"
Su Xin Zhen looked at Su Chen timidly, "Daddy, is it true?"
"You girl, okay, don't cry, go have a good sleep."
Su Xin Zhen responded before leaving cheerfully.
Once Su Xin Zhen left, the smile on Su Chen's face disappeared, he looked at Li Qianshi and said coldly, "Ten taels of silver, how can you even take out a single hand?"
Li Qianshi's face was pale, but she couldn't help but shed tears: "Master, don't you know what kind of person I am? Why do you want to wrong me so badly ……"

Chapter 8: The gentle Lady of the Marquis.
NOVEMBER 29, 2020 ~ E THEE YOUTUBE BABE
"Accuse you unjustly?" Su Chen sneered, "You think I've wronged you? Yes! Then we'll go face to face!"
"Master!" Li Qianshi was crying pear-shaped tears, and Momo Chen, who was on the side, appeared to be unable to see past it, and even walked over and knelt down.
"Master, you have wronged your wife!"
"It's true that Madam only gave Eldest Miss ten taels of silver, but that was because she was in a hurry when she learned that Second Miss had offended Eldest Miss and didn't have much on her."
"When this slave came back, this slave took care of the matters in the back house with great difficulty, but this slave didn't expect that it would be late, so this slave didn't send the things prepared for the Eldest Miss over."
Saying that, Momo Chen knelt to the side and took out a box, after opening it, it contained jewelry designed to be worn by a young girl: "Master, look, these are all selected by Madam one by one."
Su Chen looked over and saw that each one was worth something, the anger in his heart was just a little less.
"Go send them over to the Eldest Miss."
"Yes." Momo Chen responded in succession and left with a group of maids.
"Alright, it's your husband's fault." Su Chen walked over to Li Qianshi, held her hand, and said softly.
Li Qianshi was grieving, but Su Chen's few words made her smile, her fawning eyes like shining threads, and in order to snuggle into Su Chen's bosom, she said, "I won't bother with you this time, but next time, I won't forgive!"
That coquettish look made Su Chen's heart race, hugging Li Qianshi and kissing those red lips.
A chamber of spring delight.
The next day, after Su Mo Li finished her breakfast, she took Huang Fan to Mrs. Liu's courtyard.
This Mrs. Liu was a very famous female scholar and had received praise from the Emperor.
She was no more than thirty-four years old, and her face was full of seriousness.
"Hello, Master." After Su Xin Zhen and Su Xin Xuan greeted her, they sat down.
Su Mo Li, on the other hand, bowed towards Mrs. Liu and formally greeted her, "Good day, Master."
"Miss is not feeling well, sit down." Mrs. Liu took a glance at Su Mo Li and a bright light crossed her eyes.
Thinking that she had seen countless beauties, this Miss Su really was a fine woman of color.
Mrs. Liu's lecture was very old-fashioned, but it was simple and easy to understand, obviously in order to take care of Su Mo Li.
The students were also serious about their studies.
Su Mo Li was not well, so she only attended half a day's class.
When it was time for lunch, Momo Ke came over, and after meeting with Mrs. Liu, she slowly said: "Mrs. Liu, the Lady of the Marquis family has given an invitation to the three Misses, and the Master and Lady are at the Old Madam's place, the three Misses this way please."
Su Xin Zhen's eyes lit up, "Is that Lady Marquis Cheng Ning?"
"Yes."
Su Xin Zhen held back the joy on her face and quickly walked towards the front.
Su Jia Xuan walked to Su Mo Li's side and followed Su Mo Li's pace, "Big Sister you don't have to be in a hurry, just walk slowly."
"Okay."
Su Mo Li lightly responded with a shallow smile on her face.
Marquis Cheng Ning was the younger brother of the current Emperor and was well-loved by the Emperor. Additionally, Marquis Cheng Ning's wife also came from a famous family, so it could be said that one could show off for several years if one could get an invitation from Marquis Cheng Ning's wife.
And if you get praise from Marquess Cheng Ning, you would be stepping on all the noble girls in the capital.
When they reached the courtyard, they heard a burst of laughter.
"Mother, is it really an invitation from Marquis Cheng Ning's house, can I really go over there?" Su Xin Zhen's face was filled with excitement.
Li Qianshi smiled and nodded: "Naturally, you can, so why don't you hurry up and thank your father, who took the trouble to get this for you."
"Thank you, Daddy!"
Su Xin Zhen immediately saluted towards Su Chen.
When Su Mo Li and Su Jia Xuan entered the room, they sat in their seats.
Su Jia Xuan was interested in the food, while Su Mo Li was sipping her tea.
"Big Sister is going too?" Su Xin Zhen was confused and looked at Su Mo Li who was drinking tea. She lowered her head and trailed off, "Big Sister doesn't know anything, if she makes a joke won't it make everyone laugh at the Prime Minister's House?"
The smile on Old Madam Su's face disappeared: "Zhen'er, what do you mean by that? Is it because you think your Big Sister will embarrass you?"
Seeing Su Chen's face change, Li Qianshi busily gave Su Xin Zhen a look.
Su Xin Zhen immediately said: "Grandmother, you misunderstood, what I meant was, let me teach Big Sister some manners and talk about the relationship between noble girls in the capital, so that Big Sister won't be blind and know nothing when she goes over."
Upon hearing that, Old Madam Su's face improved a lot: "That's more like it."
Su Chen also smiled, "Zhen'er has a point."
"Thank you, Younger Sister." Su Mo Li stood up and bowed towards Su Xin Zhen, "Thank you, Sister."
"It doesn't matter, we're sisters!" Su Xin Zhen's face showed a pure smile as she walked over to Su Mo Li. Her eyes filled with incredulity as she saw the bracelet on Su Mo Li's wrist out of the corner of her eye.
"Sister, do you like my bracelet?" Su Mo Li revealed the bracelet.
Su Xin Zhen forcibly endured the anger in her heart.
This bracelet was clearly promised by her mother that she would give it to her in the future! Why did she give it to Su Mo Li!
"This bracelet was given to me by Mother yesterday, since you like it, I'll give it to you." Saying that, Su Mo Li put the bracelet on Su Xin Zhen's hand, "It just so happens that my sister wants to instruct me on etiquette, so this will be a thank you gift."
Su Xin Zhen really liked this bracelet, but she knew that she couldn't take it.
Taking a deep breath, Su Xin Zhen laughed, "Why did Sister say that, it's just that I think the bracelet is pretty, it's something that Mother gave to Sister, so of course it's Sister's."
After saying that, she returned the bracelet to Su Mo Li.
Su Mo Li had a bright smile on his face, "Sister is a really good person, I do like this bracelet."
There was a bit of unnaturalness on Su Xin Zhen's face.
Shouldn't a normal person try extremely hard to let her have the bracelet?
She then pretended to take the bracelet down as if it was bad to refuse.
This Su Mo Li was truly a country bumpkin!
She didn't understand anything!
Although she was angry, she had a smile on her face.
"Alright, let's eat something first." Su Chen gave the word, and naturally, the people did not object and took their seats.
When they finished their meal, they went back to their respective courtyards.
Li Qianshi helped Su Chen to take off his clothes and slowly said, "Master, there are some things I still can't help but say, perhaps you feel that it's this Concubine who is making a fuss."
"But this Concubine's really doesn't mean anything else, even if you misunderstand this Concubine, this Concubine is still going to say it today."
Su Chen looked at Li Qianshi with confusion, and couldn't help but smile and say, "What's going on? Suddenly so serious, what can't you and I say to each other?"
"It the matters of Li'er." Li Qianshi sighed, "Although Li'er was not born in my womb, however, she is your daughter and therefore my daughter."
"Li'er has just returned from the countryside, she doesn't understand many things, whether it's manners or speech."
"Master you are in a high position of authority, Li'er's return will naturally attract the attention of many people, and when the time comes to go to the Marquis's Residence, if Li'er is used by someone with an agenda to do something bad, it will be a disgrace to the Prime Minister's Residence."
Li Qianshi's words caused Su Chen's heart to tremble fiercely.
After taking a few steps forward, he stopped, turned to look at Li Qianshi, opened his mouth, and eventually turned it into a sigh: "You're right."
"It's good that Master understands, it's not that I won't let Li'er go out to meet people, but no matter what, you have to learn the etiquette before you go out, this etiquette isn't something you can learn in three days."
"Nowadays, the children are all older, not to mention Xuan'er, Li'er and Zhen'er are old enough to talk about others, for their own sake, they should also have a good reputation."
"Yes, you're right." Su Chen nodded, "Tomorrow, you'll go and tell Mother to tell Li'er not to go to the Marquis Residence."
"Master ……."
Li Qianshi pursed her lips and laughed bitterly: "Mother has never liked me, if I go and say it, she would think that I dislike Li'er."
"Master, this Concubine wouldn't dare."
Saying that, Li Qianshi came to Su Chen's side and pulled the corner of Su Chen's coat: "Master, will you go and help this concubine ……"
The sweet voice made Su Chen feel much better and touched Li Qianshi's cheek: "Good, I'll tell her tomorrow, it's getting late, let's go to bed."
The next day after the morning court, Su Chen told Old Madam Su about this.
Old Madam Su was about to get angry, and when she heard the rest, she was silent.
Only after a long time did she say, "What you say is not unreasonable, Nan Nan has grown up in the countryside from the bottom in the end, even if you and I only lived in Tian Jia Village for a month and came to the capital, it took several years to change the habits."
With a long sigh, Old Madam Su nodded, "Ah Ke, you go to the Marquis and tell him that Nan Nan is not well and cannot come."
"Yes."
Momo Ke quickly left.
Su Mo Li, who got the news, yawned with a smile on her face: "This is good, I don't have to get up early."
"This stepmother of mine can still do good things, it's better to put off these messy banquets in the future."
Cheng Tao smiled helplessly and said slowly, "Miss, it's just that they don't want you to take the limelight off of Second and Third Miss."
"After all, Second Miss is also old enough to get married."
"Saying marriage or whatever has nothing to do with me." Su Mo Li turned over on the bed and said unconcernedly, "Since Father picked me up, he naturally wants to use me in exchange for the greatest benefit."
After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "I heard that Father and the Second Prince are very close?"
"Second Prince's Side Consort …… I guess that's the purpose of picking me up."
Cheng Tao and Huang Fan looked at each other, then nodded their heads.
"Miss, don't be afraid, what Eldest Prince and Second Prince, as long as you don't want to, we can take you away!"
"And then go back and inherit the family fortune?" Su Mo Li's face showed her disgust, "I don't care about those family properties, I haven't gotten my revenge yet!"
Meanwhile, Momo Ke explained her intentions and left the Marquis Residence.
And when Marquis Cheng Ning and Madam Cheng Ning heard their servant's report, they directly stood up.
"Is the Eldest Miss sick?"
"Is it serious? This wind chill is not good for your health if you don't treat it properly!"
"No, Husband, you should hurry to the Emperor and have the Imperial Doctor take a look at Missy!"
Marquis Cheng Ning even nodded, "Madam don't worry, I'm going, I told you this girl shouldn't go back, is it bad to come to our house?"
Madame Cheng Ning shook her head as she quickly left.
The servants were stunned, it wasn't their Eldest Miss who was sick, it was the Eldest Miss of the Prime Minister's Residence who was sick.
Why were the Marquis and Madam so anxious?
In the Prime Minister's Residence, looking at Imperial Doctor Chen in front of him, Su Chen's brain was a bit confused.
Who was Imperial Doctor Chen?
That's the Emperor's Imperial Physician!
Even a Prince couldn't get Imperial Doctor Chen to do anything!
But today, Imperial Doctor Chen was coming to see Su Mo Li's body?
This, how is it possible!
"Imperial Doctor Chen, you mean, to treat the little girl?"
Su Chen's face was a little surprised.
Imperial Doctor Chen smiled and said, "Yes, it was Madam Cheng Ning Marquis who heard that Miss Su was sick, which is why she asked me to come over and take a look."
"Could you invite Miss Su out?"
Su Chen took a deep breath, pressed down the questions in his heart, and asked someone to go and invite Su Mo Li.
Doctor Chen looked at Su Chen and slowly said, "Lord Su doesn't need to be so nervous, I heard from Marquis Cheng Ning that it was because Lord Su unintentionally held up Marquis Cheng Ning who tripped over a stone once, so that Marquis Cheng Ning didn't make a fool of himself, so when Marquis Cheng Ning heard that Miss Su was sick, that's why he wanted to return the favor."
Upon hearing that, Su Chen let out a sigh of relief, "So that's how it is."
The Marquis of Cheng Ning and Lady Marquis, on the other hand, were nervous, especially the Lady Marquis, who directly broke a branch on the side of the tree, her eyes filled with anger, "If I find out who bullied the Eldest Miss, see if I don't kill them!"
"Madam! Keep your voice down. Did you forget you're going to be a damsel in distress? Hurry up, calm down, keep smiling, yes, but don't curse."
Marquis Cheng Ning touched the cold sweat on his forehead, if this was known that his wife was a quick-tempered and not a gentle noblewoman, he was afraid that his wife would be chased and beaten by them.
It would be hard for him to live in order to protect his own wife's reputation for gentleness!
The author has something to say… it's going to be a slow fall from the vest starting tomorrow!

Chapter 9: I'm a weakling.
DECEMBER 1, 2020 ~ E THEE YOUTUBE BABE
After analyzing Su Mo Li carefully, Imperial Doctor Chen spoke to Su Chen, "Miss Su has anemia and a weak pulse, so she must not strain herself too much on a day to day basis."
"Is she exhausted?" Su Chen felt it was a bit strange.
Imperial Doctor Chen took a look at Su Chen and sighed, "Miss Su's body is obviously overworked, Lord Su, you have to give Miss Su a good tonic. It's best if she wakes up after 9:00 am and sleeps before 9:00 pm. If she'd like to eat something, feel free to make it for her. However, you need to make sure that what she's eating is nutritious but not too over the top. For example, things like ginseng aren't needed, but a bowl of bird's nest is good."
Listening to the Imperial Doctor Chen's instructions, Su Chen agreed in succession.
The surrounding maids and servants looked at each other.
The Imperial Doctor has been speaking for forever! How bad was the Eldest Miss's health?
It was pitiful.
"Don't worry, Imperial Doctor Chen. I've remembered everything."
After thinking about it, he turned to Su Mo Li and asked, "Is there anything Li'er wants to eat today?"
Su Mo Li looked at Su Chen with eyes full of respect and said, "Father doesn't need to ask. I'm fine with anything. But, if I can only get up after 9:00 am, then I won't be able to go to school, nor will I be able to pay my respects to my Mother."
Imperial Doctor Chen interjected, "Eldest Miss, your body has been pierced with a thousand holes. If I didn't know any better, I would have thought that you were being mistreated. But for the sake of Lord Su's reputation, the morning and evening routine can be omitted. After all, if you had an accident and it reaches the ears of the Emperor, how could it be explained?"
Su Chen hurriedly agreed.
How could he have forgotten that Su Mo Li was not only his daughter but also the Emperor's niece? Ah!
Imperial Doctor Chen gave a few more instructions before leaving.
Su Mo Li got up and bowed to Su Chen, "Thank you for your care. Actually, this daughter's body is not as weak as the Imperial Doctor says. Morning and evening greetings are what this daughter should do."
After seeing Su Mo Li's cute face and sparkling eyes acting so sweet, he said, "Morning and evening greetings can be canceled. It's better to wait until you are well again."
Su Chen thought about Su Mo Li's weak body. Could it be that this child had suffered in the village?
Although she was told to pray, her food and clothing had never been less than it should be. How could her health be so poor?
Su Mo Li asked, "But Father, will Mother have a problem with me? Li'er is not Mother's biological child after all. If Mother dislikes me because of this, will it make things difficult for Father?"
Su Chen sighed in his heart. This daughter of his was thinking of him from start to finish. This gesture couldn't help but soften his heart a bit, "Don't worry, your mother won't be angry about this. Your father will talk to her."
"Thank you, Father." A slight smile appeared on Su Mo Li's face.
After saying a few words of departure to Su Chen, she left.
On the other hand, Su Chen went back to his study and ordered someone to go forward to investigate the affairs of the Tianjia Village.
When Su Mo Li returned to the courtyard, Huang Fan took out a few letters and handed them to Su Mo Li: "Miss, this is a letter from the Marquis. He is asking if you were being bullied by the Su family. If so, they can take you back to the Marquis's residence. This other letter is from Imperial Doctor Chen. He said that what he just told the Master is an exaggeration. So although your body is a bit weak, if you wanted to beat a cow to death, it wouldn't be a problem. Next is a letter from the Emperor, asking when you'll be free."
"To the Marquis, tell them that I'm weak and just need to rest. Moving is too much trouble." Su Mo Li said as she ate her food. "To Imperial Doctor Chen, tell him that it's best to spread the word about this matter so that I won't get bullied. To the Emperor, tell him that I'm weak and need to recuperate, so I don't have any time to spare."
At that moment, Huang Fan thought, your body is weak? What kind of nonsense is that?
Cheng Tao forced a smile and said, "Miss, the housekeeper just said that in the future, you can just study with Mrs. Liu in the afternoon."
"Mm." Su Mo Li yawned, "How about the Prime Minister's guards?"
Cheng Tao and Huang Fan looked at each other. Cheng Tao quickly closed the door while Huang Fan said in a low voice, "Miss, the guards of the Prime Minister's Residence are of average skill."
"Hmm," Su Mo Li pondered for a while and slowly said, "The five people of the Heavenly Character are to secretly enter the house and report on the factions in the house. The five people from the Earth Character are to enter the house dressed as young servants and maids and blend in with the Prime Minister's Residence. The five people of the Xuan character should approach Su Xin Zhen, Su Jia Xuan, Su Chen, and Li Qianshi and become their followers."
After a short pause, Su Mo Li seemed to have thought of something: "I remember that there was a woman in the Ren Character who was good at health care. Try sending her to my Grandmother. Huang Character and the others in the Ren Character are to go outside and gather information."
"Yes, Miss." Cheng Tao answered and quickly went to deliver the message.
In the Liuyuan courtyard, Li Qianshi listened to the housekeeper's words and faintly smiled. "I also thought that Li'er's body was too weak, and the morning and evening greetings were too much for her. But if I open my mouth and tell Li'er to rest, I am afraid that the Master will think that I'm not happy with her. Return to Master and say that I understand. I will allow Li'er to heal her body."
The steward smiled and left with a bow.
As soon as the steward left, Li Qianshi turned pale and sneered, "I can't believe that just a few days after coming back, the Master started to think of her. If this goes on for a few more days, I'm afraid that Zhen'er's and Xuan'er's places will be taken!"
Momo Chen's heart sank, and she quickly looked over, "You guys, leave."
When the maids left, only then did Momo Chen whispered, "Madam, what are you doing? With all these people coming and going, what if your words get out to the Master's ears? So what if Master is now favoring the Eldest Miss because she's weak? You're the Madam of the Prime Minister's family now! What's more, wait until you mention Princess Huimin in Master's ear…"
Momo Chen didn't finish her words, but Li Qianshi immediately understood, and a smug smile appeared on her face: "Momo, you're right. Master hates Princess Huimin the most. As long as I mention her, it is natural that he will hate her!"
"It's good that Madam can think about it. Besides, when you take the Eldest Miss out to a banquet in the future and make her embarrass herself a few times, the Master will hate the Eldest Miss even more."
Momo Chen's face was full of disdain, "A person who grew up in the countryside cannot compare to the Second and Third Misses."
Li Qianshi laughed as she extended her slender fingers and lifted a cup of tea, "You're right. Back then, I was already able to fight Huimin. Today, how could I still be afraid of a little girl? Hehe."
With a cold smile, Li Qianshi's finger tapped the rim of the cup, and she slowly said: "Even so, we still have to take action and make the Master loathe Su Mo Li."
Momo Chen's eyes turned and said, "I heard that in a month, Old Master Feng He, also known as the God of Qin, will come to the capital and choose a disciple from the capital. If the Second and Third Misses are chosen, won't it be a joyful occasion? Even if they aren't chosen, there is no doubt that they would receive a compliment from Mister Feng He. I've heard that Old Master Feng He holds the qin in high regard and has a bad temper. If the Eldest Miss breaks the qin strings in front of him, Old Master Feng He will definitely despise her."
Li Qianshi's eyes lit up: "I've also heard about Old Master Feng He, but despite there being rumors for years that he would come to the capital, there has been no sign of him. I'm afraid that this time, there's nothing to be done. But that idea of yours is great. Nowadays, it's not only Old Master Feng He who loves the qin, but also the current Empress Dowager."
The master and servant looked at each other and smiled unkindly.
As she was being plotted against, Su Mo Li rolled around the bed and could not sleep. Instead, she simply got up and prepared to go talk with Old Madam Su.
Unexpectedly, the voice of the second class maid rang out outside: "Miss, the Third Miss is here."
Su Jia Xuan is an easy person to get along with. When thinking about some of the things that she had found out about her, Su Mo Li had to say that this Su Jia Xuan had a simple temperament.
"Big Sister!"
Su Jia Xuan cheerfully came to Su Mo Li's side and glanced at the stone stools underneath the grapevines and sat down, "Big Sister, is it okay for us to play in the courtyard?"
Su Jia Xuan was extraordinarily cute, her eyes shining and smiling like the stars.
"Okay." Su Mo Li responded as Cheng Tao quickly brought two cushions, placing one on Su Mo Li's stool.
"Third Miss, let's give you a cushion."
"No need." Su Jia Xuan waved her hand, "I'm fine."
Saying that, she ordered Dong Xue beside her, "Bring my things over here."
Dong Xue hesitated but placed a jar on the table and explained, "This is the food that Third Miss made in the kitchen, it might be a bit stinky, but the taste is excellent!"
After saying that, Dong Xue opened the jar.
The stench that came over the jar made the maids back away.
Su Jia Xuan, on the other hand, was bright-eyed.
Dong Xue stole a glance at Su Mo Li and saw that she was still smiling. Slightly relieved, Dong Xue took two pieces of dried tofu from inside.
"Miss, can you eat them?"
Dong Xue looked at the pale-skinned Su Mo Li and was a little hesitant. "It's fine if Eldest Miss doesn't want to eat it."
On the other hand, Su Jia Xuan swallowed her saliva: "Big Sister, this tofu is very delicious."
"Thank you, Third Sister." Su Mo Li said softly as she took the chopsticks from Dong Xue's hand, picking up the black dried tofu and taking a bite.
Dong Xue's face was filled with respect.
Eldest Miss was really a righteous person. To not let Third Miss be sad, she even ate something that disgusting.
You must know that no one in the house can eat a bite of it.
Even the Madam was disgusted.
"Eldest Sister, is it delicious?" Su Jia Xuan's little face was filled with tension.
Su Mo Li smiled lightly and finished the dried tofu before saying, "It tastes good. Third Sister is perfect."
"Really?!" Su Jia Xuan jumped up, "Big Sister, you can eat it all then!"
Dong Xue's cheeks twitched. Eldest Miss had given face by eating a piece of it, but she can't keep pushing. Ah!
Su Mo Li lowered her head, "Okay, thank you, Third Sister."
Under Su Jia Xuan's expectant gaze, she took another piece.
The corners of Dong Xue's mouth tightened, and she immediately looked at Cheng Tao and Huang Fan, her face full of apologies.
She whispered, "My Miss just wanted to share what she likes with Eldest Miss. This jar of stinky tofu is Third Miss's favorite. No one in the family can stand the taste. Eldest Miss actually does not have to force herself."
Cheng Tao was slightly startled but smiled. "Don't worry about it. Miss did not refuse, which means that Miss also likes it."
Dong Xue stared at her. Why was this maid so blind? Even if Eldest Miss wanted to refuse, she obviously was too embarrassed to do so!
Poor Miss, these two maids are so unreliable!
Dong Xue watched Su Mo Li eat all the stinky tofu. She sighed in her heart. The Eldest Miss, to not let the Third Miss be disappointed, had actually eaten so many pieces of stinky tofu, she was really a good person ……
Su Mo Li, who was enjoying her meal, was happy today!
It's been a long time since she had eaten stinky tofu!
Yummy!

Chapter 10: Rude Woman.
DECEMBER 2, 2020 ~ E THEE YOUTUBE BABE
Su Jia Xuan left contentedly.
Su Mo Li was also satisfied and touched her belly.
In the middle of the night, she heard noises.
After Cheng Tao inquired back, the corners of her mouth twitched: "Miss, Third Miss said that for the first time someone liked her stinky tofu so much and went to make some more, and now the whole house can smell the stench, and when Madam knew about it, she scolded Third Miss."
Su Mo Li put her book down and quirked the corner of her lips, "Oh? But what does that have to do with me? And there's no need to make a special inquiry, it's late, so go to bed."
Cheng Tao and Huang Fan looked at each other, lowered the curtain, and retreated.
Miss was still as cold-hearted as before.
The next day was the flower viewing banquet hosted by the Marquis's wife.
Su Xin Zhen got up early in the morning to dress up.
It took an hour of dawdling before she left the room.
"Mother!"
Seeing Li Qianshi, Su Xin Zhen was exceptionally happy.
Li Qianshi smiled: "Our Zhen'er is indeed good-looking."
Then she looked at the ordinary Su Jia Xuan on the side. She was about to say something when she saw the two buns on Su Jia Xuan's head and swallowed her words.
In the end, she was still a child and didn't need to dress up much.
"Your grandmother is already waiting, let's go over."
"When we get to the Marquis, you must behave, and don't open your mouth if you don't know or understand anything, okay?"
"Got it, Mother."
Upon seeing Old Madam Su, the four of them got into the carriage and headed towards the Marquis's residence.
In Marquis Cheng Ning's Residence, the Marquis Madame sat on the top seat, and although she listened to the compliments of the surrounding ladies, her eyes were looking out.
The crowd consisted of smart people, and they knew at a glance that the Marquess was waiting for someone.
For a moment, they looked at each other, who was she waiting for?
By all accounts, there was no one in this capital besides the few people in the Palace who could keep Marquis Madame Cheng Ning waiting!
As the various ladies came in, the Marquis Madam looked indifferent, chatting with the familiar ones without a hitch.
As for the others, she didn't want to pay attention at all.
"Prime Minister's Residence, Old Madam Su! Madame Su! Miss Su are here!"
As voices rang out outside, the crowd saw the Marquis Madame stand straight up, a bright smile on her face, "Is the Prime Minister's family here? Hurry up!"
Confusion appeared on everyone's faces, when did the Marquis of Cheng Ning become so close to the Prime Minister's household?
They've never heard of a friendship between Marquis Cheng Ning and the Prime Minister!
The faces of the people were full of doubt.
Madam Marquis, on the other hand, walked down and went to the door to greet them personally.
"How is Old Madame Su's health?"
With Marquis Madame's sudden concern, not to mention Li Qianshi, even Old Madame Su was stunned, then quickly bowed in greeting: "Madame is well, thank you for your concern."
"Old Madam Su doesn't need to be polite, please sit down quickly."
Saying that she welcomed Old Lady Su in.
After Old Madam Su and Li Qianshi sat down, Marquis Madams' eyes flashed with a trace of doubt, but she still smiled gently: "Are these two are the Second and Third Misses of the house?"
Li Qianshi was busy saying yes.
Su Xin Zhen and Su Jia Xuan both also bowed.
"I heard that Lady Marquis' youngest son is already of marriageable age, could it be that he has taken a fancy to the Second Miss of the Prime Minister's residence?"
"When you say that, I remember, no, they're a good age match!"
"Don't say that this Second Miss of the Prime Minister's residence is good-looking."
The crowd seemed to understand why Lady Marquis was so nice to the Prime Minister's Residence and praised her now.
Li Qianshi's eyes brightened even more as she listened to the surrounding discussion.
Su Xin Zhen, however, blushed and slightly bowed her head to reveal a nice neck.
"The two girls from the Prime Minister's family look really good."
Marquis Madam smiled and said, "This is the Second Miss? I wonder how old Miss Su is now?"
Su Xin Zhen bowed herself towards Madam Marquis and whispered, "Back to Madam, Zhen'er had her eleventh birthday in February this year."
Marquis Madame smiled, "A good child, sit next to me at today's banquet."
The crowd sucked in a breath of air, their faces full of incredulity.
Li Qianshi, however, was thrilled, and was busy saying, "Zhen'er is lively, so I'm afraid she'll disturb Madam."
"No problem, since I'm getting older, I just like such a fresh child."
Marquis Madame said with a smile.
The crowd naturally followed the Marquis Madame as she complimented the Prime Minister's family.
Old Madam Su's face was also happy to see this, after all, it was her granddaughter.
Naturally, she wished her well.
"I heard that the Eldest Miss of the Prime Minister's House is also back, why didn't you bring her over today?" Marquis Madame pretended to have just remembered the matter and asked in confusion.
Before Li Qianshi even opened her mouth, she heard Su Xin Zhen say, "Big Sister is afraid that she would disturb the noble ladies, after all, Big Sister did not learn etiquette in the countryside."
Contempt appeared on everyone's faces.
In the countryside, even if she was the firstborn daughter of the Prime Minister's House, she couldn't be the head mother.
"There are no rules to speak of in the countryside, it's better to teach her properly, and also to avoid her coming out and clashing with the noble people. Since she's returned to the capital, she has to learn the rules properly, not to mention anything else, she can't lose Second Miss' face, right?"
"That's not true, I've heard that the Eldest Miss of the Prime Minister's House has never studied music, chess, calligraphy, or painting? That's a hard thing to do, and I don't know if she can learn at this old age."
Someone said with a mocking laugh.
Hearing this, the crowd echoed the sentiment.
Su Xin Zhen was so proud of herself, after today, everyone would know that the Eldest Daughter of the Prime Minister's House was a rude country woman!
