After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Nian Susu was completely distracted.

Her fingertips touched the jade bracelet. Jade is known to be the most gentle and nourishing material, but she felt like she had touched a hot potato and wanted to throw it away immediately.

Qin Junyu's feelings were too heavy for her to bear, at least not now.

She was afraid that she would fall into the hands of the Queen if she was not careful.

Nian Susu quickly walked to the dressing table, took off the bracelet, and hid it at the bottom layer of the dressing table.

She closed her dressing box and breathed a sigh of relief.

In these late years, I went to bed very early but never felt well.

She planned to go to Yuanlai Restaurant early tomorrow morning to try her luck and see if she could encounter any mystery.

The last time I saw Xuan Ji was at Mulan Hunting Ground. Now a month has passed, and I don’t know how he has managed to find the antidote, or whether he still vomits blood when the poison takes effect.

So many things happened this month that she was so busy that she was dizzy. If Jingzhe hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten about Xuan Ji.

She comforted herself that Xuanji didn't come, which meant he was fine. It was better than collapsing at her door in the middle of the night and vomiting blood.

The next day.

Jingzhe and Zhihua have already pasted up window paper-cuts and hung up red lanterns, and the entire east wing is filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

After finishing all this, he couldn't wait to take the firecrackers to the backyard to play.

Nian Susu got up early and went to the front hall to pay his respects.

Nian Qiaoyue was also there, Nian Chengyun and Yang Yuerong were sitting in the main seats, and Jingqiu was standing beside them holding a tray with four cups of tea on it.

Every New Year’s Day, the younger generations will offer tea to the elders, greet them and say hello, and say New Year blessings. The elders will then give the younger generations a red envelope in return to express their best wishes for the coming year.

Nian Susu was the eldest, so naturally she had to offer tea first before it was Nian Qiaoyue's turn.

Nian Susu smiled brightly, offered tea to both of them, and then said the blessing: "The spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu, and the New Year is coming with joy. The old year has unfolded a thousand layers of brocade, and the New Year will enter a hundred-foot building again. May father and mother be happy in the new year, and live a long and healthy life."

Nian Chengyun was grinning from ear to ear, and Yang Yuerong's eyes were full of doting. They drank tea together, and each gave Nian Susu a thick red envelope, which seemed to be half a finger thick, and it was even thicker when you weighed it in your hand.

Nian Su Su held the heavy love in his hands and bowed to express his gratitude.

When it was Nian Qiaoyue's turn, she had never read much, so she imitated Nian Susu and said "May everything go well, and may you live a long and healthy life."

Nian Chengyun and Yang Yuerong were obviously not in as good a mood as before. After all, it was New Year's Day, so they didn't show any displeasure to Nian Qiaoyue. They just gave her a red envelope and smiled perfunctorily.

After hurriedly finishing his breakfast, Nian Susu used the excuse of going to find Li Yaoyuan to shut Yang Yuerong's mouth, and left the house with an umbrella.

With Nian Susu away, Nian Qiaoyue felt very uncomfortable. Knowing that she was not welcome, she returned to the west wing. She didn't need to find any excuses because these two people were eager for her to leave.

Yuanlai Restaurant.

Nian Susu asked for a room facing the street. She sat by the window, holding her chin and looking down. The cup of tea in front of her had already gone cold, but she didn't touch it at all.

The street is very busy with people coming and going.

The happiest time for the vendors is during the Chinese New Year and other holidays, because there are more people and more customers. They have no holidays to speak of, and they are busier during this time.

During the Chinese New Year, ordinary families would also be determined to take out the little money they had saved in a year to have a good meal with their family, make new clothes for their children, and buy some snacks.

Therefore, children often love the Chinese New Year the most, while adults worry about not having enough money during the Chinese New Year.

Nian Susu was filled with deep emotion.

Her parents died early, and now when she recalls them, she can't even picture them in her mind. She was raised by her grandparents. When she was a child, her family was not rich. Her clothes were washed white and starched, and the seams were broken and patched. She could not buy new clothes many times a year. At that time, she looked forward to the Chinese New Year the most.

During the Chinese New Year, we can eat a lot of delicious food and wear new clothes. Our grandparents and neighbors are also in a better mood than usual.

After her grandparents passed away, she no longer liked the Chinese New Year as much. For her, it was just an extra period of vacation when she didn't have to stay at the Academy of Sciences doing research.

She also became an adult who no longer liked the Chinese New Year.

Nian Susu took a sip of tea and immediately shrank her neck and shoulders because of the cold. She put down the cold tea and looked down again, but still didn't see the familiar figure.

After waiting for most of the day without seeing Xuan Ji, Nian Susu felt that there was no hope for today. However, the road was difficult to walk in the snow, and the cold wind made her bones ache. She gritted her teeth and went out, unwilling to go back like this.

When she went downstairs, she suddenly remembered that the owner of the restaurant, Yun Jianfeng, seemed to have a close relationship with Xuanji. The last time Xuanji brought her here, he had a private chat with the owner for a while away from others. Maybe he knew where Xuanji was, or had a way to contact Xuanji.

Nian Susu instantly felt hopeful. He quickened his pace and walked to the shopkeeper, asking him to take him to see Yun Jianfeng.

The shopkeeper looked at her warily for a few times, recognized her as the eldest daughter of the Nian family, thought for a while, asked her to wait, and hurriedly went to report.

After a while, Yun Jianfeng followed the shopkeeper down from the third floor.

When he saw Nian Susu, Yun Jianfeng immediately smiled and greeted her.

Nian Susu was determined to find out the news, but was afraid that his strong purpose would annoy Yun Jianfeng and he would end up making things worse.

She had no choice but to exchange a few pleasantries first.

Yun Jianfeng took her to the third floor, and they sat opposite each other and drank tea.

"Miss Nian came to see me, it shouldn't be just to have a meal, right?"

Nian Susu admitted it openly, "Yes, I want to ask Boss Yun about someone."

Xuanji brought her to Yuanlai Restaurant. Yun Jianfeng had seen her before and could guess that they had a special relationship, so he was polite to her not only because of her status as the eldest daughter of the Nian family, but also because of the relationship with Xuanji.

Although she didn't know whether Xuan Ji had told Yun Jianfeng the inside story, she was sure that as long as she asked, Yun Jianfeng would tell her.

Yun Jianfeng raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Miss Nian is looking for someone?" He chuckled, "Then the girl should ask Tianxuan Villa to find someone. I am just the owner of a small restaurant. I don't have the ability to find someone for Miss Nian in the vast crowd."

Nian Susu curled the corners of his mouth, "What a coincidence, the person I'm looking for is related to Tianxuan Villa."

Yun Jianfeng frowned, and put away his relaxed attitude. He stared at Nian Susu seriously and said in a firm tone, "Miss Nian, are you looking for the secret?"

Nian Susu nodded.

Yun Jianfeng suddenly burst into laughter, which made Nian Susu suspicious.

He stopped laughing and explained with a heavy breath: "He really did a great job, and Miss Nian is worthy of the title of 'talented lady and beautiful woman'."

"What does Boss Yun mean?"

Yun Jianfeng sighed, "Xuan Ji hasn't come to my place for more than a month. The last time we met, he told me that if Miss Nian came here to ask about his whereabouts, I must tell him the truth."

Nian Susu suddenly realized and couldn't help but sigh at Xuanji's amazing foresight, as he could even guess that she was coming to see Boss Yun.
