On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

Hearing Su Sui'an's voice, Su Xinhe's eyes suddenly lit up, and she didn't care about the maid behind her calling out to remind her.

She took small steps and trotted to Su Sui'an, "Second sister, you are finally back. I was so worried."

Su Sui'an unnoticeably withdrew the hand that she had held so skillfully, "What's wrong?"

Sensing Su Sui'an's coldness, Su Xinhe bit her lip and looked at Liu'er beside her, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. It's getting late, you should go back too."

After saying that, Su Sui'an really seemed to not want to say more to Su Xinhe. He gave Liu'er a look, and the master and servant were about to pass by her.

"Second sister."

Su Xinhe didn't expect Su Sui'an to really ignore her. She looked even more aggrieved. "I...I came to see you this time because I want to ask you for help with something."

The word "help" seemed to carry thorns, and Su Xinhe seemed to have to use a lot of effort to finish her words.

"I think..."

Su Xinhe thought for a long time with red eyes, but couldn't figure it out.

How could Su Sui'an not know what she was planning now?

It was nothing more than that she was having a secret meeting with that poor scholar and had no money, so she came to her to ask for money and jewelry.

In her previous life, although she was not as kind to Su Xinhe as Zhao Qingwan, she was willing to grant Su Xinhe's requests for the sake of the eldest wife. As a result, Su Xinhe could give her another blow when she was beyond redemption.

Holding her hairpin, she cried and said that she had an affair with that poor scholar...

It is enough for a person to die once if she is stupid enough. If she is stupid enough to be taken advantage of by these people again, then she deserves it.

"It's getting late now. If you still haven't decided what to do with me, then you should go back first."

After waiting for a long time, Su Sui'an did not ask indignantly like before, "Have you been bullied again?" Instead, Su Sui'an drove him away again and again. Su Xinhe was dumbfounded.

"elder sister..."

Looking at Su Xinhe and Zhao Qingwan's identically weak faces, Su Sui'an just felt amused.

These two people are worthy of growing up together in the big house.

When she looked up at Su Xinhe again, her eyes had lost their former clarity and gentleness, replaced by coldness and alienation.

"After all, my father is only the adopted son of the Marquis's family, and he cannot marry into your family. Miss Xinhe, if you have nothing to do in the future, please stop coming here and get yourself into trouble."

Su Xinhe's face turned pale, and a fierce look flashed in her eyes, but she still refused to give in, "Sister, what are you talking about? We are all girls from the Marquis' Mansion, so we are naturally a family..."

"Then you should go back to the first house and marry your adopted sister. We in the second house are not worthy."

As he spoke, Su Sui'an instructed Liu'er beside him, "By the way, Miss Xinhe borrowed a few hairpins and several hundred taels of silver from me before, and she agreed to return them after the New Year. Now it's early summer, and I'm getting married soon. It's not a good idea for Miss Xinhe to owe me like this. Go back and inform Miss Xinhe and ask her to find time to return the silver and hairpins."

Liu Er quickly responded.

The sound was quite loud, and Su Xin and Zi Ran also heard it.

Su Xinhe's face turned red and white under the dim lights in the mansion.

Su Sui'an reminded him again, "When you collect the money, remember to bring the account book. It's been so long, and the jewelry clerk and the young lady may have forgotten the specific amount."

"Yes, this slave knows."

Su Xinhe was dumbfounded.

She never expected that Su Sui'an would come and ask her to pay off her debt.

Since she was a child, she knew that the people from the second house were particularly easy to talk to, and were especially polite to the concubines from the first house.

Especially Su Sui'an, who was only two years older than her. His mother was the daughter of a merchant. Although merchants had a low status, they had plenty of good things and money.

How could someone who can easily pick up a piece of warm jade with full water content and fine texture as a plaything lack good things?

So, she learned to show weakness in front of Su Sui'an.

Ever since she started dating Zhang Lang, her monthly salary was not enough to spend, and Su Sui'an kept giving her subsidies. She even made plans that if her father found out about her relationship with Zhang Lang, she would put the blame on Su Sui'an.

Who asked her not to give more money to buy Zhang Lang a house, some land, and some servants?

This time, she came to Su Sui'an with the same idea in mind.

result...

She had just appeared in front of Su Sui'an, and before she could even open her mouth, Su Sui'an asked her to pay the debt.

She took small steps to catch up with Su Sui'an, but Su Sui'an had a background in martial arts and walked faster than the average girl. Even Liu'er could hardly catch up with her, let alone her.

After waiting for a long time, not only did she fail to tell Su Sui'an her request as planned, but she was also chased by Su Sui'an for debt. Su Xinhe couldn't help but feel a little more resentful towards Zhao Qingwan. If she hadn't kept saying that Su Sui'an was guilty tonight and would definitely agree to her, how could she have come here so anxiously?

She was filled with resentment and could no longer maintain the gentle look on her face.

"Miss, where can we get so much money?"

The maid Shabi beside her spoke tremblingly.

She finally couldn't help it and slapped the little maid beside her in the face.

"You are a dead person, so what she said is what it is?"

...

The courtyard of the second house is divided into three courtyards, namely Ruoliyuan, Tingyu Cottage and Moyuntang.

Ruoliyuan is the courtyard of the second master, adjacent to Su Sui'an's Tingyu Cottage.

It was already the hour of Hai, and the lights in the Ruo Li Garden were still brightly lit, even though the lights should have been turned off at the hour of Xu.

"mother."

Seeing Ji Lan, with sunken cheeks and an unhealthy sallow complexion, sitting on the bed and smiling at her, Su Sui'an could no longer hold back. She threw herself into her arms like a young bird returning to its nest, choking with sobs and saying, "I miss you so much."

Ji Lanshuang was stunned. She felt the person in her arms shaking with sobs. Her surprise soon turned into kindness. She slowly stretched out her skinny right hand and patted Su Sui'an's back, comforting her softly, "Okay, An'an, don't cry. It's okay. Mom is here."

While speaking, Ji Lanshuang's inquiring eyes fell on Liu'er, who was following not far behind Su Sui'an.

Liu'er shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know why Su Sui'an suddenly started crying.

Only Su Sui'an herself knew how long it had been since she had seen her mother, and how long it had been since she had felt her mother's warm embrace with a faint scent of medicine.

After she was kidnapped in the previous life, the mother and daughter had to say goodbye to each other again. At that time, everything had changed. Her father, brothers and younger brothers had died tragically, and her mother's body was in disarray. She also changed from the carefree Miss Su to a plaything bought by an old eunuch and could be transferred to others at will...

Su Sui'an's tears fell more and more violently, and soon a large area of ​​Ji Lan's clothes on her chest was wet.

A quarter of an hour passed, and Ji Lanshuang became anxious when she saw that Su Sui'an had no intention of stopping.
