Shengjing Noble

"Why is this?" Lu Wanjun was puzzled.

Su Shenghao and Su Shengyun are of similar age and both love poetry, so the two brothers have always had a close relationship.

In the past, they often went out to attend poetry gatherings and other gatherings, and nothing bad happened. Why should they be stopped now?

Su Lanyin didn't know how to explain it, and was afraid that the girl wouldn't believe it if she told her, so she thought for a moment, and then an idea came to her.

"The Emperor said so!"

"Your Majesty?" Lu Wanjun suddenly became nervous.

"Yes!" She nodded heavily and spoke nonsense in a serious tone, "Not only did I recommend my eldest brother, I also recommended my third brother to the emperor. I boasted to the emperor that my third brother was very talented in writing and would definitely pass the imperial examination this spring! The emperor didn't believe me and wanted to make a bet with me. If my third brother didn't make the list, I would be in big trouble!"

"What? What bad luck? The emperor won't chop off my head, will he?"

Lu Wanjun was so frightened that her face turned pale.

"It's not that serious, but if Third Brother doesn't do well in the exam, wouldn't that mean I'm lying to the Emperor? If he gets upset, I'll have no choice but to go to the palace and play with the Third Princess. Mother, you know the Third Princess is very scary. If my daughter serves her, I'm afraid I'll die without a complete corpse!"

"No! You can't go and play with the Third Princess. You are my only precious jewel, and I can't bear to let you go. Don't worry, I will tell your Third Brother to study hard for me. Don't even think about leaving the room before the Spring Examination!"

Having said that, Lu Wanjun rushed towards her third brother's Weiyang Pavilion.

At this moment, Su Shengyun, who was studying hard, suddenly sneezed!

"what happened……"

He glanced at the charcoal brazier which was burning brightly. The room was warm, but why did he feel an inexplicable chill?

Weird, really strange!

……

Su Lanyin brought a group of servants to Langya Pavilion and started cleaning inside and outside.

After a busy afternoon, the house inside and outside was clean and tidy, spotless.

Even the old furniture has been replaced with the latest mahogany, and the whole house is filled with a fresh woody scent.

Su Lanyin picked Ali, the most diligent and honest servant, to take care of Su Shengyan.

An hour later, her elder brother was washed clean, shaved, and his hair was combed meticulously. He also changed into the softest and most comfortable clothes and sat in a wheelchair.

Su Lanyin had been preparing this chair a few days ago, and today she finally let her brother use it.

Although he couldn't push with his hands, with Ali around, the eldest brother had hands, legs and eyes.

Su Shengyan was very resistant at first and didn't allow anyone to touch him. He even lost his temper and yelled for a long time.

But no matter how angry he was, Su Lanyin coaxed him with gentle words, and even cried in the end.

He couldn't bear to see his sister cry, so he had to grit his teeth and endure it.

Seeing that her elder brother had regained some of his former spirit, Su Lanyin nodded with satisfaction.

But it’s not enough!

What she wanted to see was the big brother who stood up, the high-spirited big brother who rode a horse to seize the commander's flag and won the title of martial arts champion.

She lived in a side room of Langya Pavilion. After some decoration by the servants, the windowsill was filled with all kinds of her favorite flowers. Although the room was a little small, it was warm and elegant, and she was very satisfied with it.

……

When everything was going in the right direction, there was finally movement at Mingzhu Pavilion.

Early in the morning, Liwen came to Langya Pavilion.

At that time, Su Lanyin was feeding Su Shengyan porridge and chattering jokes to amuse him.

The usually mature and somewhat old-fashioned elder brother couldn't help laughing, but he had to keep a straight face and pretend that it wasn't funny, which made the scene particularly lively.

With Su Lanyin's company, his days seemed to be refreshed, and even the air was filled with a pleasant atmosphere.

In fact, it was because a lot of "tricks" were added to the incense. It was Su Lanyin who blended the fruity fragrance that could make people feel at ease and comfortable.

Su Shengyan was a little surprised to hear that Su Lanxin had woken up, because he didn't know what had happened.

But Su Lanyin looked calm, as if she had expected it.

"I understand, and then I went to see my sister."

Liwen glanced at her former master, her face a little stubborn, but she still lowered her head and said, "Yes!"

She turned around and was about to leave, but her way was blocked by green bamboo.

"Hey, who is this? It's Miss Liwen. Long time no see. Aren't you a first-class maid in Mingzhu Pavilion? How come you are now a low-ranking maid running errands?"

Cuizhu certainly knew what was going on, she was just being sarcastic on purpose.

There is no need to be polite when dealing with traitors!

Liwen looked extremely embarrassed, biting her lower lip and still looking unyielding.

"I am willing to follow Fifth Lady, even if I am a lowly maid, I am willing to do so!"

Hearing her say this, Cuizhu became even angrier and couldn't help asking, "You damned girl, you are so shameless! How did our Sixth Miss treat you in the past? She almost treated you as her own sister! Now, you betrayed her and you don't even say a word of apology? Did a dog eat your conscience?"

Liwen raised her chin and said confidently, "So what? No matter how well she treats me, she will never treat me as her own sister. Otherwise, why would she break up the couple and stop me from getting married to the one I love?"

"What's so good about Ah Cheng? He relies on the fact that he is the son of housekeeper Liu to bully the lower-class servants in the Su family. Are you blind to fall for a man like that?"

"You are talking nonsense. I forbid you to slander Ah Cheng like this. He is not being domineering. He is just the son of the housekeeper. Those people are afraid of him and are jealous of him, so they spread rumors in the mansion!"

Cuizhu was speechless: "Okay, even if those are all fake, how sincere is he to you? Wake up, he is not a good match at all! If it weren't for the fact that you and I grew up together, I wouldn't bother to care about you!"

"Humph, you are just jealous that I am going to marry the housekeeper's son. Don't I know whether he loves me or not? Cuizhu, if you ask me, you should find someone to marry. For us women, especially servants, if we can marry and become the principal wife, it is at least better than being a concubine, so we don't have to give birth to illegitimate children in the future!"

Liwen argued confidently, implicitly belittling her master's status as a concubine's daughter.

Su Lanyin, who was sitting in the room feeding Su Shengyan porridge, suddenly stopped, then stood up and walked out.

"Green Bamboo."

She called out softly, her face expressionless.

Cuizhu wanted to argue, but she quickly stopped talking and ran to her.

"Girl, please don't bother with this bitch. I think she must have been kicked in the head by a donkey!"

Su Lanyin smiled coldly and looked at Liwen with an arrogant look as if she was looking at an ant.

The other party felt a little guilty, but still raised his head stubbornly and refused to give in.

In the past, it was because she was too indulgent towards the servants around her that this ungrateful person became so arrogant.

Thinking of this, she said calmly: "Liwen, you blame me for stopping you from marrying Ah Cheng, so now that you have left me and gone to Mingzhu Pavilion, why haven't you married him yet?"
