Chapter 123
The next day.
Su Lanyin got up early and asked Cuizhu to help her dress up.
People who are usually as beautiful as fairies even without makeup look even more charming and attractive with light makeup.
Her eyes were lively and seemed to reveal a fairy-like aura, and the slight luster in them was as delicate and crystal as a gem.
Cuizhu took out a jade hairpin and was about to put it on her, but she turned away. There seemed to be a wisp of mist rising from the mountains in her eyes, making her clear eyes unclear.
"Change to silver jewelry."
"Silver?" Cuizhu was stunned, a little puzzled, "Didn't the girl say she wanted to dress up well? Isn't silver jewelry too ordinary?"
Su Lanyin did not answer, but turned around, walked to the makeup box, picked up the box and handed it to her.
"Pack up all the valuables in the room and find a gap to send them to the house outside."
"Most of the things in the warehouse have been moved out a few days ago. Don't you want to leave some jewelry with the girl?"
"No need."
After saying that, Su Lanyin casually inserted a silver hairpin into her hair, then stood up and walked outside.
"Girl, you haven't had breakfast yet..."
Cuizhu hurriedly caught up, and before she could finish her words, she saw Su Lanyin go straight into the small kitchen next door.
After working for half an hour, he finally came out with a food box.
"Miss, this is the first time I see you cooking and preparing breakfast yourself."
Although Su Lanyin would usually cook some food for her mother and brothers, it was always at noon or in the evening.
After all, her daughter likes to sleep in and will never get up before noon.
Today is really out of character, is something big happening?
Cuizhu followed behind with full of doubts, feeling uneasy.
Su Lanyin did not explain, but simply instructed: "No matter what you see or hear later, you are not allowed to show any surprised expression, just follow my instructions."
"Yes."
The master and servant walked along the dewy path in the early morning towards Linxin Pavilion.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a servant sweeping the weeds and dust in the yard.
Seeing Su Lanyin coming in, he hurried forward to greet her.
"I pay my respects to you, young lady. It's just dawn, why are you here?"
"Amu, where are the others?"
"Are you asking about Young Master Song? He's still asleep." Amu said in a low voice.
He was the servant that Su Lanyin arranged to be beside Song Rui. He was responsible for taking care of his daily life, but his main responsibility was to monitor him.
Cuizhu suddenly realized, and finally said with a depressed look: "Girl, you dressed up early in the morning and went to the small kitchen to prepare breakfast, just for him!"
Su Lanyin looked back at her and said with a hint of warning: "Don't forget what I just said."
Cuizhu curled her lips and lowered her head unwillingly: "Yes."
Seeing this, Amu said, "Miss, please take a rest in the front hall. I will go and wake up Master Song."
"Don't bother him, we'll just wait."
After saying that, Su Lanyin turned around and ordered, "Take the food box down and keep it warm before it gets cold."
"Yes."
Cuizhu took the food box to the side room, and followed Amu into the front hall and sat down at the round table waiting.
About half an hour later, Song Rui finally woke up. When he heard that Su Lanyin was waiting outside, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"How long have you been here?"
Amu said, "It's been a long time. Miss was afraid that you wouldn't be used to the food in the kitchen of the mansion, so she specially prepared breakfast for you."
"Really? Why didn't you wake me up earlier? It's rude to keep her waiting."
Song Rui said he would get up, but he did not speed up and continued to move slowly.
Amu followed Su Lanyin's instructions and deliberately came forward and whispered, "Mr. Song, my daughter has never treated others like this before."
"Really... Tell her I'll be out right away after I wash up."
"Yes, little man, go right away."
Amu nodded, turned around and ran out to answer.
Song Rui raised a smug smile and said to himself, "After all, she is a concubine who has never seen the world. She is so worthless after just meeting her once. Haha... I thought she was something difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect it to be so simple."
This made him feel extremely bored and he even felt a little impatient with Su Lanyin.
He comes here so early in the morning to try to curry favor with me. Could it be that no one wants him even though he's so eager to do so?
Is there any hidden illness or other problem?
……
Su Lanyin sat in the front hall, supporting her chin with one hand and resting her other hand on the table, tapping the surface lightly with her fingertips.
Once or twice...
It was not until she counted to more than seven hundred times in her heart that Song Rui finally came out.
Getting up, getting dressed, washing face and rinsing mouth... after all, it only takes a cup of tea, but he spent two incense sticks of time in there.
It was obvious that he made her wait on purpose.
Su Lanyin was not angry, but a smile appeared on her lips.
Based on her understanding of Song Rui, this person is suspicious, mean and cunning by nature, and most importantly, he bullies the weak and fears the strong.
In her previous life, although she was dissatisfied, she did not dare to disobey her parents' orders and married Song Rui. She followed the traditional idea of marrying a chicken, following the chicken; marrying a dog, following the dog, and obeyed him in everything.
Unfortunately, her submissiveness was not recognized by the Song family, but instead she was subjected to endless bullying and oppression.
In this life, she doesn't need to be forced by anyone, but she will never let them control her again.
So, she has to change from being passive to being active.
Thinking of this, she stood up and smiled, and said softly, "Brother Song, you are finally awake. I heard that people in your hometown are used to drinking bean porridge in the morning. I specially ground the beans and cooked it for you. I hope you like it."
After saying that, she turned around and called out, "Cuizhu, quickly bring the warm food box over."
Outside the door, Cuizhu took the lunch box and walked in.
"Girl, here."
Putting the breakfast on the table, Su Lanyin said with joy and expectation, "Brother Song, come and try it and see if it tastes good to you."
Song Rui glanced at it indifferently, then picked up the spoon and tasted it politely.
Then, he commented seriously: "Well, it tastes good, but it's not as good as my mother's. Of course, I'm not saying that you didn't cook well. You can still work harder in the future."
His condescending attitude seemed as if he was disciplining a maid.
If it were in the previous life, Su Lanyin would definitely feel uncomfortable, but in this life, she nodded with a smile on her face.
"Brother Song is right. I will work harder in the future and make food that satisfies you sooner or later."
Song Rui looked at her gentle appearance, and the gleam in his eyes softened slightly, but he still felt disdain in his heart.
"You came here so early in the morning just to bring me breakfast?"
"Not entirely." Su Lanyin lowered her head shyly, her cheeks slightly red, looking very shy and cute.
Song Rui swallowed and couldn't help but put his hand on her shoulder, exerting force intentionally or unintentionally, but still restraining his inner impulse.
"Sister Lanyin, if you have any problem, just tell me. Our two families are old friends. If I can help you, I will naturally be willing to help you."
