Su Xiaoxiao came to the kitchen under the guidance of Nanny Shen.

Nanny Shen arranged for a few cooks to help Su Xiaoxiao, and Su Xiaoxiao immediately got busy.

Cooking is a piece of cake for Su Xiaoxiao.

She had already thought of the recipe and put the cooks to work.

Soon, a table full of delicious food was ready.

Su Xiaoxiao asked the servants to bring all the food to the flower hall. Nanny Shen walked up to Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Miss Su, please wait a moment. The old lady will be here soon!"

"Okay, don't worry!"

While Su Xiaoxiao was waiting quietly, Gu Feiyao came in from outside with her maid.

She could smell the fragrance of rice from a distance.

"Grandma, what delicious food are you making? It smells so good, Feiyao is drooling!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she also came to the flower hall. She didn't see Du Mei, but saw Su Xiaoxiao.

The corners of her mouth that were raised suddenly fell.

She recognized at a glance that Su Xiaoxiao was the person who teased her at the birthday party that day.

"Why are you here?"

Su Xiaoxiao knew that Gu Feiyao was Du Mei's granddaughter and didn't want to have any unpleasantness with her, so she answered respectfully.

"It was Madam Du who invited me here."

"Would my grandmother invite a lowly person like you here? Stop rubbing your face in gold!"

She yelled outside again: "Someone come, beat this bitch up and throw her out!"

"Miss Gu, what are you doing?"

"I want revenge for that day!"

As he was speaking, two servants ran in, grabbed Su Xiaoxiao and started to drag her out.

Su Xiaoxiao broke free in an instant.

"You dare to touch me and try it!"

Gu Feiyao's face was filled with disdain. "What good will it do if we try? Drag her out and beat her up!"

"Yes!"

The servant received the order again and was about to go forward to capture Su Xiaoxiao.

At this time, the voice of Nanny Shen came from a distance.

"stop!"

Seeing Du Mei coming, everyone saluted respectfully.

Gu Feiyao ran to Du Mei with a look of grievance on her face.

"Grandma, did you invite this little bitch here? She bullied Feiyao before, and Feiyao is going to teach her a lesson today, to vent her anger!"

Du Mei frowned slightly.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Of course! When has Feiyao ever lied to grandma?"

"What exactly happened? Tell me about it!"

"That day at my aunt's grandmother's birthday party, she pushed Feiyao down the stairs, and Feiyao almost fell and got hurt."

Du Mei looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a solemn and dignified expression.

Su Xiaoxiao knelt down and bowed.

"Madam, it was clearly the maidservant beside Miss Gu who pushed her down the stairs that day. I had nothing to do with it!"

Gu Feiyao was about to quibble when she heard Nanny Shen speak.

"Madam, when I went to look for the young lady that day, I did see that it was the maid Lian Qiao who lost her balance and accidentally pushed the young lady down the stairs."

Gu Feiyao didn't expect Nanny Shen to say that, and her pupils shrank slightly.

But she just didn't want to miss the opportunity to teach Su Xiaoxiao a lesson.

"Grandma, Madam Shen is old, and she was so far away at the time. She might have been wrong. Feiyao was bullied by this little bitch. Grandma, you have to stand up for Feiyao!"

Seeing Gu Feiyao like this, Du Mei began to feel disgusted.

"Alright, it's been so long, let's not talk about it anymore. Besides, Miss Su is my guest, and you keep calling her a little bitch. It's disrespectful and beneath my dignity. I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow, and I want to have a good meal. If you're not in the mood, go back to your room and rest!"

Gu Feiyao thought Du Mei would help her teach Su Xiaoxiao a lesson, but she didn't expect to be the one being taught a lesson instead.

Du Mei had never been mean to her since she was a child, but she didn't know what happened today that she would speak in favor of an outsider.

She was so angry that she reluctantly bowed to Du Mei.

"Fei Yao is not feeling well, so I won't accompany grandma anymore. Fei Yao is leaving!"

On the way back to her room, she kept complaining to the maid.

"What's wrong with Grandma today? What kind of magic potion did Su Xiaoxiao give Grandma? I will never let that bitch Su Xiaoxiao go!"

Su Xiaoxiao accompanied Du Mei for dinner, and then returned to Youlan Garden.

As soon as I got home, Lan Ling's carriage stopped at the door.

Su Xiaoxiao went out to greet them, and Zhao Wanzhu and Jiang Lanlan also came with Lan Ling.

Su Xiaoxiao asked in surprise: "Mom, Lanlan, why are you here too?"

"Mom misses you!"

"Why not welcome?"

"Of course you're welcome, come in and talk!"

Su Xiaoxiao brought the group back to the room and started chatting with them.

Lan Ling said: "I will be returning to the capital in a few days!"

"Are you in such a hurry to go back?"

"Well, I received a letter from home, telling me to go back quickly!"

Zhao Wanzhu and Jiang Lanlan looked at him with sympathy.

The Lan family urged Lan Ling to go back simply to find a husband for her.

Zhao Wanzhu took Su Xiaoxiao's hand and said seriously, "Xiaoxiao, Mom hasn't been to the capital yet. Why don't we go there with Miss Lan?"

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled. "I've never heard mother mention anything about the past in the capital. What's going on now?"

"Nothing much, I just saw Miss Lan talking about all the good things about the capital, so I wanted to go see it too! If you don't feel comfortable staying in the capital, we can come back later! Okay?"

Seeing Zhao Wanzhu's negotiating tone, Su Xiaoxiao did not refuse.

As children, we should help our parents fulfill their wishes if we are able to.

"Mom, when Xiao Ran comes back, can I discuss this with her?"

"Okay! You discuss it with your son-in-law."

Although Zhao Wanzhu hopes that Su Xiaoxiao will accompany her to the capital, she also does not want any conflicts between Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran.

After all, there are still many businesses here that need them to take care of.

Seeing this, Jiang Lanlan wanted to say something but stopped herself. However, Su Xiaoxiao saw her action clearly.

When Zhao Wanzhu and Lan Ling returned to their room to rest, Su Xiaoxiao found Jiang Lanlan.

"Lanlan, has anything happened to my mother recently?"

Jiang Lanlan told the story about the robber she encountered that night.

"When I woke up, I was already home. I asked Aunt Zhao what happened, and she just said that the other party just wanted some money. She took out some silver, and they left. But since that day, Aunt Zhao often stared blankly, and I didn't know what she was thinking."

"You're getting robbed at night? There's definitely something wrong!"

Su Xiaoxiao went to Zhao Wanzhu again to inquire about the situation.

But no matter how she asked, Zhao Wanzhu's answer was the same as what Jiang Lanlan said.

Su Xiaoxiao realized that she couldn't get anything out of him, so she stopped asking.

After Xiao Ran came back, he told Zhao Wanzhu about her idea of ​​going to the capital.

Xiao Ran also felt that something was wrong, but he dared not disobey the request made by his mother-in-law.

"It's rare for Mother to ask us for something. Since she wants to go to the capital, we should go with her. It's also a good opportunity for me to go see Grandpa. The shops in the city are now on track and we don't have to worry about them. We can also investigate and see if we can open a few more branches while we're in the capital!"

Su Xiaoxiao felt that what Xiao Ran said made sense and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then I'll discuss it with Mother tomorrow, and we'll set a date and leave."
