Xuanji glanced to the side, looked at her, and said lightly, "I'm just passing by."

Nian Susu said "Oh" and put away her smile. It turned out that she was just being too sentimental. She clasped her hands together and shouted loudly, "Goodbye!" and turned to leave.

Xuanji's face froze. He hadn't expected her to leave so abruptly. For some reason, he called out to Nian Susu, who had already taken a few steps, and said, "Wait!"

Obviously, he was just passing by with nothing to do, but after witnessing the farce just now, he suddenly felt a little doubtful and wanted to ask her for confirmation.

Nian Susu stopped walking, turned around and looked at him. She tilted her head, blinked her sparkling fox eyes and smiled. She asked:

"Sir, is there anything else?"

Faced with such a captivating smile, Xuan Ji was distracted for a moment, remembering a poem circulating in the streets, which was used to describe the eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion: "She is as pretty as a flower, her skin is as white as snow, her smile is intoxicating and she is extremely gorgeous." Although it was meant as a compliment, such a poem would actually be a tease if read to a woman.

He didn't know what to do when this poem popped up in his mind. After being distracted, he quickly retracted his gaze. His hands under his wide sleeves had already clenched into fists. He cleared his throat and said, "It's fate that we meet today. I would like to invite Miss Nian to have a cup of tea."

Xuan Ji was glad that he had the mask to cover him up and hide the embarrassment that he had just inadvertently revealed.

He lowered his eyes, with half of his face hidden by the mask. Nian Su Su Shi couldn't see what he was thinking. Adhering to her good quality of "since I'm here anyway", she had no choice but to agree and went into the room with him.

The two of them sat opposite each other across the coffee table, Nian Susu resting his chin on his hand while watching Xuan Ji make tea.

He heats the pot, puts tea in, warms the cup, pours at high speed, and brews at low speed, and he does each step meticulously and carefully, as if he is studying a piece of art.

Nian Susu watched seriously, not because she was so interested in tea, nor because she wanted to learn the skills secretly, but because Xuan Ji's fingers were slender and her palms were as white as jade, which made people feel pleasing to the eye even when she was doing such a boring thing.

Xuan Ji was about to serve the tea and pushed a cup in front of her, but her attention was still on those slender fingers.

"This tea looks really good, hehe..."

Xuan Ji was stunned, "What?"

When Nian Susu heard his voice, he was startled and quickly tried to explain himself, "No, I said this hand is really delicious!"

Mystery: ...

The corners of her mouth twitched. It would be better if it wasn't round...

Xuan Ji pretended not to understand and poured himself a cup of tea, but in fact, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

After all, Nian Susu was not a lady from a noble family like the original owner, so she knew nothing about tasting and appreciating tea. She could only take a few sips to show her appreciation, and stare at a certain place, seemingly savoring the taste, but in fact she was thinking about what to eat for dinner today.

"Miss Nian just now was so generous and righteous to help Miss Nian Er out of trouble. I really admire her." Xuan Ji curled the corners of his mouth.

It seemed that he was looking for topics to make the atmosphere between them more relaxed, but in fact, he had his own little thoughts and wanted to lead Nian Susu to the point that confused him.

Xuan Ji glanced at her calmly, and seeing that she looked confused, he knew that she had no suspicions.

Nian Susu didn't think too much about it and said bluntly: "What's the big deal? After all, I am her eldest sister. If she gets into trouble outside, it will implicate the entire Xiangfu. If I do more, my father will worry less."

How touching! For her old father! For the whole Xiangfu! She was willing to sacrifice herself!

Nian Susu was so moved by his filial piety that he couldn't help laughing when he said these words.

If the system is smart enough, it will definitely pop up and say: [Host is so shameless]

Xuan Ji had no doubt at all, took a sip of hot tea and then asked:

"But I think Miss Nian Er doesn't seem to appreciate it, and she even blamed Miss Nian for meddling in other people's business."

Nian Susu smacked his lips, it turned out that he heard everything.

She nodded in agreement: "Yes, she doesn't like others to meddle in her affairs. Me too."

The mystery of meddling in other people’s affairs: …

Xuan Ji smiled immediately and said, "I am being rude. Since Miss Nian doesn't want to talk about it, I won't ask."

Nian Susu did not refute, she really didn't want to say it.

The grudge between her and Nian Qiaoyue is not just a superficial dispute between legitimate and illegitimate children. It also involves the grudges of Nian Qiaoyue's mother's generation. In short, it is long and boring.

Nian Susu was not angry at Xuanji for crossing the line, and even took the initiative to check his pulse.

"Your pulse is stable and almost the same as that of an ordinary person. As long as you take the medicine on time, you will feel better the next time the toxicity attacks."

Xuan Ji was very satisfied that the medicine could achieve such an effect, and thanked him sincerely.

Nian Susu had her own plans for detoxifying Xuanji, so she felt a little guilty when faced with Xuanji's sincere gratitude.

Nian Su drank the tea in one gulp and found an excuse to slip away.

The guard in black clothes and bird-wing mask who was guarding in the dark saw Nian Susu leave and entered the room.

The guard clasped his hands and said, "Master, Miss Nian has been staying in the mansion these days except for cleaning up the mess for Miss Second Nian. There is nothing unusual."

Xuan Ji pondered for a moment, said "hmm", and waved his hand to signal the guards to retreat.

The guard stood still, as if hesitating about something. Xuan Ji didn't ask and waited for him to speak.

After struggling for a while, the guard knelt on one knee and bowed:

"Master! Please forgive me for being so nosy! Are you and Miss Nian... getting too close?"

Xuan Ji did not answer.

The guard was very excited. "Master, if you need her to detoxify you, you can use coercion or inducement. If she refuses, just tie her up and take her back to Tianxuan Villa! Why do you have to beat around the bush?"

It's no wonder that he is so radical. Xuan Ji has been poisoned for six years, and all the famous doctors in the world are helpless. Now that there are signs of improvement, he certainly hopes that Nian Su Su can help Xuan Ji detoxify the poison as soon as possible, instead of wasting time sitting around drinking tea and chatting like today.

Xuan Ji sighed softly, "A Falcon, I know my limits."

Ah Falcon lowered his brows and eyes, and replied sullenly, "Yes."

……

When Nian Susu returned to the prime minister's residence, he found a luxurious carriage parked at the door. Servants were coming in and out, constantly moving items from the carriage into the mansion.

Just as she was wondering, Zhihua came out of the mansion and ran to her, her cheeks flushed and her face showing joy, and she said excitedly:

"Miss! Madam is back!"

"Madam..." Nian Susu hesitated for a moment before realizing that the madam Zhi Hua was talking about was the original owner's mother, Lin Yuerong.

Lin Yuerong's mother passed away half a month ago. She went back to her parents' home and only returned to the prime minister's mansion today. Therefore, Nian Susu has not seen this "mother" since he entered the book.

Before Nian Susu could think about it, Zhihua had already dragged her to the east wing, "Madam is waiting for Miss in the courtyard! She brought back a lot of new and interesting things this time!"

She quickly went through the original owner's memories in her mind and found that Lin Yuerong was very fond of Nian Susu, so Nian Susu was very close to her.

The corners of "Fake Nian Susu"'s mouth twitched. Her parents died early in modern times, and she grew up with her grandparents. She had no idea what maternal love was, let alone being close to her mother.
