Taifu Mansion, Yingxue Pavilion.

"Idiot! You can't even handle such a small matter, and you still have the nerve to come here crying." Su Xuewei sat in the main seat and looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, scolding angrily.

Lian Qiao was kneeling on the ground, her clothes were covered with tea stains, a few broken tea leaves were hanging on her hair, and the broken teacup residue was scattered all over the ground.

"I don't know when that dead girl Yuzhu went in. If it weren't for her, Su Yuejian would have been burned to death. It's all that girl's fault," Lian Qiao explained.

"Hehe, Su Yuejian, you are really lucky." Su Xuewei said viciously.

Su Xuewei was originally the only daughter of the Su family, but after Su Yuejian brought her back, she became the second lady. A lowly bastard, yet she was always superior to herself, on what basis? Su Yuejian became more and more angry as she thought about it, and she raised her hand and swept all the cakes and tea trays on the table to the ground.

"Wei'er, what happened? Who made the young lady angry?" Qiao Wanyun walked in with her maid.

"Mom...it's all because of that bitch Su Yuejian," Su Xuewei said aggrievedly.

Qiao Wanyun walked over and sat next to her, then gave a wink to the maid beside her, and the maid led the servants out.

"Why get so angry? Mother taught you to stay calm when encountering things." Qiao Wanyun said.

"There are plenty of opportunities as long as she is still under our noses. With her stupid appearance, how could she be a match for our Wei'er?" Qiao Wanyun patted her hands.

"In a few days, the Prime Minister's daughter will hold a Tanchun Banquet. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and all the princes will be there. You must seize this opportunity. My Wei'er is beautiful and will definitely win the prince's heart. When you become the prince's consort, you can have everything you want, not to mention a little bitch."

Su Xuewei calmed herself down, sat up straight and said, "Yes, mother."

Suddenly, she thought of something and said, "Mother, Lian Qiao said that Su Yuejian spilled the powder you gave her today and that she seemed to be avoiding it on purpose. Do you think she noticed anything?"

Su Yuejian has been beautiful since she was a child. When she grew up a little, Qiao discovered that she looked very similar to the deceased Lu Jinru, especially her eyes, which were exactly the same.

She secretly sent someone to investigate and found out that the child was not dead, so she devised a plan to destroy her appearance.

Qiao Wanyun pondered, "I had someone specially mix this medicine. It's colorless and odorless, and with the scent of makeup covering it up, ordinary people wouldn't be able to detect it. But her eyes..."

"Eyes? What's wrong with the eyes?" Su Xuewei asked puzzledly.

"The doctor said it was just blood clots that day. She might be able to see it someday." Qiao Wanyun's eyes suddenly became fierce. "To avoid any more trouble, we should find a way to completely destroy her."

Su Xuewei raised the corners of her mouth, walked to the dressing mirror, looked at her beautiful face, and smiled triumphantly as if she had already seen herself ascending to a high position.

In the afternoon, Su Yuejian returned to the mansion and ordered them to rest. She dismissed the maids and went into the house to prepare ointment with medicinal herbs.

That night.

"Miss, Aunt Luyun sent a message asking if you would like to go to the front hall to have dinner with the old lady." Yuzhu walked in and rolled up the gauze curtain beside the bed.

In her previous life, Su Yuejian didn't like to see people because of her ugly appearance. She ate alone every day. It seemed that she hadn't eaten with her grandmother and others for a long time.

Su Yuejian sat up and said, "Yinxin, tell my aunt that I'll pack up and come over."

Yinxin walked out happily. The young lady seemed like a different person when she woke up this time. Although Yinxin felt a little strange, she was happy as long as the young lady got better.

"Miss, do you want to get dressed? I'll go call Lianqiao over," Yuzhu asked.

Su Yuejian held her back and said, "From now on, I will only leave my personal matters to you and Yinxin. No one else is allowed to enter my room, especially Lianqiao. Remember?"

"And you don't need to wear makeup, just put your hair in a bun."

Although Yuzhu didn't understand why, the lady said there must be a reason for it, so she nodded.

Rong'an Hall

Aunt Luyun greeted her at the door, "The eldest lady is here. It just so happens that the Grand Tutor and the eldest young master are here today. Please come in quickly."

Su Yuejian had thought about meeting her family countless times before, but when the moment finally came, she actually felt scared.

When I walked into the room, I saw a silver-haired old woman sitting at the head, and on her left was a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a dark green robe and a jade crown on his head, with an elegant and scholarly air. Next to him was a young man wearing a moon-white brocade robe, with long black hair tied up with a brocade ribbon of the same color. He looked somewhat similar to the middle-aged man, and was extremely gentle and handsome.

Su Yuejian knelt on the ground and kowtowed, her voice choked with sobs: "Yue'er, pay your respects to grandmother, father, and brother."

"Oh, get up quickly. Why do you have to do such a big thing for no reason?" The old lady quickly waved her hand and asked the maids to help Su Yuejian up.

Su's father and Su Yanzhou were also confused.

The maids helped Su Yuejian sit down.

"I heard that there was an accidental flood in your yard. Are you feeling better now?" asked Su's father.

Su Yuejian looked up at the man in front of her through the veil. This was her father. Although Father Su brought her back home because of the medicine man matter, he valued filial piety and was an upright and kind person. Not only did he not take advantage of her because of her physique, but he was very grateful to her and loved her very much. It was just that she believed the slander of the Qiao family and felt a gap between them in her heart and was unwilling to get close to her.

"My daughter is fine now. I'm sorry for making you worry." Su Yuejian replied.

Su Lin was stunned. This was the first time Su Yuejian called him Daddy. She had always called him Father since she entered the mansion.

He remembered that when she first entered the mansion, she was lively and playful, but after she became blind and sick, she gradually became silent and taciturn, keeping to herself all day long and not talking to anyone.

He was both grateful and distressed towards his daughter.

Su Lin said happily: "Haha, good, I'm glad you're okay."

Daddy, that sounds great!

"How do the servants do their work? You are too soft-hearted and have allowed them to be so careless!" Su Yanzhou said from the side.

Su Yanzhou has always wanted a younger sister since he was a child. Although Su Xuewei is his sister in name, he always feels that he can't get close to her.

On the contrary, he liked Xiao Yuejian, the girl his father brought home that year, the first time he saw her. He always felt a natural sense of intimacy and familiarity with her.

Su Yuejian felt warm in her heart. Her father and brother had always cared about her so much, but she hated that she had been blinded. Thinking of the tragic death of her father and brother in her previous life, the suppressed hatred in her heart was ignited again. They deserved to die!!!

Su Yuejian took a deep breath and asked slowly: "Yes, sister won't do it again in the future. Daddy, brother, can Yue'er take off the veil and hat?"

Father Su asked doubtfully, "Why not?"

Su Yuejian said softly, "I'm ugly, and they said I would scare my father, brother, and grandmother."

Father Su was shocked and said, "Nonsense, you are the eldest daughter of our Su family, who are you to gossip about!"

Yuzhu whispered, "It was the Madam and the Young Lady who said that. The Madam even said the Young Lady wasn't the Imperial Tutor's biological daughter. Now that she's acting like this, it's tarnishing the reputation of the mansion. That's why the Young Lady wears a veil every day."

"Yuzhu, don't talk nonsense." Su Yuejian said.

"Father, Madam is afraid that you will be sad seeing me like this. It's all my fault."

Father Su frowned, "Madam? Where did this madam come from?"

"It's Aunt Qiao." Yin Xin said.

Father Su had a gloomy face. Over the years, after Lu Jinru's death, Qiao had always been gentle and virtuous in front of him. Father Su thought she was an honest person and let her be in charge of the household affairs, but he didn't expect that she was ambitious.

In this life, whether alive or dead, his wife is only Lu Jinru.

"Pass on my words, from now on all matters of the inner courtyard will be managed by the old lady." Father Su said in a deep voice.

Old Madam Su nodded.

She has never liked the Qiao family.

Somehow Qiao lost her innocence at the banquet and was taken into the mansion.

The Su family is a family of clean civil servants who attach great importance to reputation, so they are very disgusted with her.

Su Yuejian raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

Su's father and grandmother felt so distressed when they saw her face, and kept picking up food for her.

Su Yuejian felt the love of her family, and her heart was warm. She enjoyed the meal very much.
