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

Xiao Jianting smiled and did not explain, but asked her to make tea.

Although Xianyun was not convinced, she did not dare to disobey Xiao Jianting's order and left with her cheeks puffed out.

The three of them moved to the pavilion by the lake to talk.

Xiao Jianting's eyes wandered back and forth between Nian Susu and Xiao Yunzheng, "Why are you here? And it must have taken you a lot of effort to find this place?"

Xiao Yunzheng raised her eyebrows. "You probably don't know this. I came here with Brother Yu and Lingling. I just arrived in Yuhang yesterday. I asked around today and came to find you."

"Oh..." Xiao Jianting seemed to be thinking about something, "I did hear about A Yu and Miss Nian's engagement, but...it's been so long, how come there's no news at all, and he traveled all the way to Jiangnan."

He frowned and looked at Nian Susu worriedly, "Could something have happened?"

Xiao Yunzheng holds her chin with her hands.

Nian Susu sighed and briefly recounted what had happened in Shengjing.

In just half a minute, Xiao Jianting was shocked several times.

For example, Qin Fengtian became a fool, Nian Qiaoyue became pregnant, and there was also the issue of the stars clashing.

Nian Susu did not elaborate on the twists and turns, but Xiao Jianting could imagine that it must have been incredible.

Xiao Jianting seemed to be thinking about something.

Xianyun brewed the tea and brought it over to pour a cup for each person.

Xiao Yunzheng took a sip as if nothing had happened, while Xianyun stepped aside holding the tray and looked at her.

"By the way, big brother, when are you going to go back? It's really hard for the second brother to handle it alone when you're not at home."

"And Wang Yuejiao, who keeps asking for a divorce, even says that you have another woman in Jiangnan and that she wants to settle down here and never go back."

"It's better to get divorced. I hope you get divorced. I don't want to have such a sister-in-law." Xiao Yunzheng curled her lips.

Xianyun's fingertips turned white as she gripped the tray. This was too much information.

This rude girl turned out to be Mr. Xiao's sister? Didn't I offend her by being so rude just now?

Xianyun was frightened, but only felt relieved when she saw that Xiao Yunzheng had no intention of paying attention to her.

Another thing that surprised her was that Mr. Xiao was already married.

It is said that men will change after getting married, becoming gentler and more caring, but she has been serving in the mansion for so long, and she doesn't see that Xiao Jianting looks like he has been married, and he never mentions family matters.

Xiao Jianting noticed that Xianyun was still there, his face looked unnatural, and he waved his hand to tell her to leave.

"It depends. I like it here." Xiao Jianting looked around. "There are few people in the mansion. It's quiet. If I go back, I will have to listen to my father's nagging. And there is Miss Wang..."

He seemed reluctant to talk about Shengjing. He changed the subject and talked about Wujun again. "The dam project has been completed. When I have free time, I drink tea and go boating. Isn't this a good life? Why should I go back?"

Xiao Yunzheng frowned, "Brother, you were not like this before."

Xiao Jianting has been a person who cannot sit still since he was a child. How could he possibly like such a boring and monotonous life?

She was anxious and blurted out: "Brother, have you not put Yao Yuan down yet?"

Xiao Jianting's expression suddenly became strange. He neither said yes nor no. He turned his head to the side and stared at the flowers in the yard in a trance.

Nian Susu pushed Xiao Yunzheng, frowned and shook his head, and the latter closed his mouth in annoyance.

The joyful atmosphere among the three people suddenly fell silent, with a tacit feeling, and no one spoke first.

Xianyun came to Xiao Jianting with flowers and broke the silence.

"Mr. Xiao, Miss Yu has sent flowers. Is she sending them to your bedroom?" Xianyun did not notice that the atmosphere among the three of them was wrong. She looked at the flowers in her arms with joy in her eyes.

Those are rhododendrons, rhododendrons of various colors. Some of the bi-colored varieties are very rare. I have only seen them once in Nian Susu's life. I took a quick look at them in Juxiang Garden last year. Looking at them again now, I feel sad.

But she didn't have time to be sad, because Xianyun just said "Miss Yu". Li Yaoyuan changed her name to "Yu Yue" and now runs a flower shop. She didn't believe that there were such coincidences in the world, so the person who sent flowers to the Xiao Mansion was most likely Li Yaoyuan.

Looking at Xiao Jianting's reaction again, he did not answer Xianyun's question first, but looked at Nian Susu with a slightly guilty look, which was caught by her.

Xiao Jianting hastily withdrew his gaze, cleared his throat and said to Xianyun: "No need, send it to my study."

"By the way, azaleas tolerate shade and prefer warmth, so the charcoal stove doesn't need to be heated so high. Just place the flowers near the window."

Xianyun leaned forward and answered "yes", then left with the flowers.

Xiao Jianting glanced at Nian Susu again, afraid that she would notice something.

Because of this little episode, Xiao Yunzheng quickly put aside the unpleasantness just now and asked curiously: "Brother, when did you like flowers? I remember when you were at home, you always said that flower arrangement is a delicate job, and pollen easily attracts bees and butterflies, so you don't like to put flowers in the room? Why did you change so much in just a few months in Jiangnan?"

Speaking of changes, Xiao Yunzheng couldn't help but mention other aspects, "Also, you never wore clothes of this color before, and even your walking posture has become more elegant."

She hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter yet, and smiled: "It seems that the feng shui of Jiangnan is good for people. Even a rough and crude person like you has become refined."

Xiao Jianting smiled and said, "The pace of life here is slow. Gradually, my heart becomes calmer and I become a different person."

Nian Susu knew why, but he just smiled and said nothing.

She was now very curious about what had happened between Xiao Jianting and Li Yaoyuan. She was a little absent-minded and simply left the space for the brother and sister to reminisce. After all, they hadn't seen each other for so long, so they must have a lot to talk about.

Nian Susu left the Xiao Mansion and wandered aimlessly on the street.

By chance, she saw a little girl holding a bouquet of trimmed flowers, which were very similar to the azalea in Xianyun's hand. She subconsciously called the little girl to stop.

The little girl blinked her eyes, stared at her with her big round eyes, raised the corners of her mouth and asked with a smile: "Sister, what's the matter with you calling me?"

Nian Susu came back to her senses and choked. She didn’t know how she stopped the man. She was thinking that this flower might have been made by Li Yaoyuan, and she was excited for a moment...

She hesitated.

"Sister, are you okay?" The little girl raised the flowers in her arms, "I still have to go give flowers to Mrs. Wu."

Nian Susu made up his mind and asked her, "Little sister, where did you get this flower?"

The little girl smiled sweetly, "These are the flowers that Sister Yu arranged. Aren't they beautiful?"

"Sister Yu..." Nian Susu's nerves suddenly tensed up.

"Which Sister Yu? What does she look like? Where does she live now? Can you take me to see her?" Nian Susu asked nervously.
