The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven

"Miss Su, this is the account book for the five shops on East Street this month."

"We heard you were ill, so the shopkeepers sent the account books to your house for your review."

"If you feel better, please come and see me as soon as possible."

After a burst of violent coughing, Su Miaoer calmed down a bit before replying, "I understand. Go down."

After the steward left, Su Miaoer asked the maid to turn on all the lights in the corners.

The whole room was brightly lit. Su Miaoer sat in front of the desk, wearing her coat, and began to read carefully.

Liu Ya, her personal maid, pushed the medicine bowl toward her with a distressed look on her face. "Miss, you've been ill for the past few days, and only just got out of bed today. You're still running a fever, and your cough won't stop."

"Your health won't last any longer, and now you have to deal with the accounts."

"You should at least think about your own health. If you get sick this time... what will you do?"

"How about we just forget about it tonight?"

Su Miaoer shook her head, picked up the handkerchief and coughed a few times before saying, "It's nothing serious."

"I know. It's just a bad cold this time."

"The Empress had me taught how to read the account books because she wanted me to be able to make a living on my own."

"Later, with her recommendation, I joined Tianfeng Trading Company."

"Now that I've finally managed five shops, how can I just give them up? If I can't even do this little thing, how can I be worthy of the Empress?"

"Losing her face is more important than losing my life."

After saying that, Su Miaoer stopped and let Liu Ya go down to rest, and there was no need for her to stay by her side.

Liu Ya's eyes turned red.

After watching Su Miaoer drink the medicine, he reluctantly left the room with the empty bowl.

But after a while, Su Miaoer heard the sound of someone entering the door again.

She whispered, "Didn't I tell you to go and rest... cough, cough cough..."

"Don't worry about me..."

"After I finish reading, cough, cough cough... I'll know when to take a break."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The whole house was filled with her coughing and wheezing.

But she didn't even raise her head, her eyes were fixed on the account book, and she was reluctant to take them away.

The abacus under his hand was still clacking away.

It was not until her body felt lighter and she screamed that she realized someone had lifted her up from the chair and carried her horizontally.

Su Miaoer was frightened out of her wits.

She looked up and saw Zhui Yu's face, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Cousin, why are you back?"

Zhui Yu's face was filled with suppressed anger.

Without saying a word, he turned around, carried Su Miaoer to the bed, and put her on the bed.

Su Miaoer struggled to get up: "No, I still have to finish reading the account book. Cousin, you don't know, I have been delaying this matter for several days..."

"I can't let the Queen down, nor can I lose face for her... cough, cough cough..."

Zhui Yu pushed her shoulders and pressed her down on the bed.

"You don't want your life!?"

His suppressed roar scared Su Miaoer so much that she lay on the bed and dared not move.

My cousin... has never been so angry.

He is a man of cheerful disposition.

Always smiling.

Be humble to everyone.

He is always patient and considerate towards himself. Although he is not considerate and careful enough, he is a very gentle person overall.

But today he was furious.

Zhui Yu had a gloomy face, and the dark side of him made Su Miaoer seem to see his dark side under the flickering candlelight.

Zhui Yu covered Su Miaoer with a blanket.

"sleep."

"If Her Majesty knew the truth, she would only blame you for neglecting your body and be disappointed that you put these worldly concerns above your own life."

"You must have a healthy body before you can talk about the future."

"Don't worry about the account books."

"I'm here, go to sleep."

Maybe it was the medicine she took, or maybe it was Zhui Yu's words that really made Su Miaoer unable to hold on any longer, and her eyelids slowly closed.

In the middle of the night, she seemed to see him vaguely sitting in front of the desk, with his head down, calculating something.

The voice was very soft, but it urged Su Miaoer to fall into a deeper sleep.

The next day, Zhui Yu invited the imperial physician Du from the palace back to diagnose Su Miaoer personally.

Fortunately, she really just had a cold.

After taking a few doses of medicine, Su Miaoer felt much better.

Only then did she realize that Zhui Yu was called back by Liu Ya with a letter.

He rushed back in the evening after receiving the letter he had sent in the afternoon.

He was very busy on weekdays and almost always lived in the military camp outside the city.

Therefore, the general's mansion that His Majesty had awarded was usually occupied by only his cousin Su Miaoer.

Fortunately, the servants in the mansion were all honest and obedient, and those who were dishonest were kicked out by Eunuch Wu who was invited back by Zhuiyu.

Therefore, no one in the mansion dared to say a word about their cousin, and they all treated her as the real master.

As for the people in Jinling City?

There was the intimidation of the General's Mansion, and Zhui Yu himself seldom returned to the mansion to avoid suspicion, so naturally no one dared to gossip.

It's just that his return this time was too sudden.

Su Miaoer didn't notice anything wrong last night, but now that she thinks about it, he seemed to have stayed in her room the whole night?

Miao'er was a little nervous, hoping that no gossip would spread that was unfavorable to him.

I am an unclean person.

Although her cousin never minded and hid her past well, if her past were to be revealed one day... how embarrassed would her cousin be?

Come to the table.

Only then did Su Miaoer see that all her account books had been carefully calculated by him personally.

It turned out that he stayed in her room with the lamp on all night last night to help her finish the thing that she couldn't let go of.

Su Miaoer flipped through it and was surprised to find that he had done it very carefully.

He also marked any problems on a blank notebook.

It turns out that he can actually settle accounts.

This made Su Miaoer feel even more that her cousin was a real treasure trove.

In addition to his superb martial arts skills, he also knows many things that Su Miaoer could not imagine, such as sign language and speaking the obscure Western dialect.

What in this world is there that he can't do?

When she thought of this, Su Miaoer felt an irrepressible admiration in her heart.

When did this inappropriate feeling come about?

She doesn't know either.

It seemed to happen unconsciously.

It seems that we are getting along better day by day.

She admires her cousin because he is a rare gentleman in this world.

Brave, resourceful, brave and good at fighting.

He is also handsome and keeps himself clean.

She admired her cousin not only as a general who could fight in battle, but also as a talented and considerate husband.

However, she was an unclean person. Even though her cousin had already expressed his desire to complete the engagement with her, how could she bear to defile him?

When they were still in Mantuo City, Zhui Yu proposed marriage.

But after Su Miaoer escaped, he never allowed her to mention the name Lan Ting again.

He said, Miao'er is Miao'er.

No matter what disaster he went through, it was still his cousin Miao'er.

Su Miaoer understood at that time that he would not force her to get married.

In the following year or so, he really did not mention this matter again.

Miao'er thought: It's good this way. It's her blessing that they can spend their lives as brother and sister.

When he really meets his destined person in the future, he will also respect his brother and sister-in-law.

If my sister-in-law feels that it would be inconvenient for her to stay in the general's mansion, she should have saved enough money by then and could move out and start her own business without suffering any injustice.

Anyway, the legal code of Dai Viet has changed a long time ago.

No more forced marriages will be imposed on unmarried girls who are over 20 years old.

Even if people say something unpleasant, it would be more liberating to stay single for the rest of your life.

But as time went on, her gaze became more and more uncontrollable, and she would always secretly look towards where her cousin was.

If she continues like this... her thoughts will be discovered sooner or later.

Su Miaoer was about to urge Zhuiyu to leave quickly, but she didn't expect Zhuiyu to ask her if she wanted to go to Mantuo City together.

"What are you going to Mantuo City for? Did His Majesty assign you an important mission?"

Zhui Yu: "Po Feng is getting married."

"Your Majesty and the Queen are unable to attend the banquet, so I was asked to go with the gifts on their behalf to liven up the atmosphere."

"Your Majesty and Your Majesty are quite regretful about this matter."

"Pofeng and Lengdian's wedding was not possible, so they told me that I would wait for my wedding to come so that they can make amends."

Zhui Yu said this and looked into Su Miaoer's eyes.

Su Miaoer hid away with a hot face.

"But... the things I have on hand..."

Zhui Yu: "I've already met with Madam Zheng in person."

"She asked me to take a letter to Mei Shuang, the owner of the Zhenxiu Restaurant."

"She said she'd take care of the management for you for a few months."

"You don't have to worry about those shops these few months. Just follow me to Mantuo City."

Then Zhui Yu asked again, "Do you still remember Mei Shuang?"

Su Miaoer nodded: "I remember. Her husband is Lieutenant Yang of the Imperial Guard."

Zhui Yu: "Then did you know that she was just a maidservant of the Empress in the past?"

Su Miaoer really didn't know about this.

But she knew that Mei Shuang had a not-so-small scar on her face.

But she is still a well-known housekeeper in Jinling City.

Who doesn't know her methods?

Decisive, ruthless and unique.

No one dared to bully her.

No one dared to cause trouble for the Zhenxiu Restaurant.

Moreover, she now also manages the other dozen or so shops of Tianfeng Trading Company in Jinling City.

So Su Miaoer not only knew her, but also regarded her as her role model.

It turns out that she was also trained by the Empress herself?

Miao'er secretly encouraged herself in her heart and told herself that she must never lose face for the Empress in the future and become the Empress's right-hand man in the business like Mei Shuang.

Su Miaoer followed Zhui Yu to Mantuo City.

Carrying a huge amount of gifts and a long team, they rushed for more than a month and finally arrived in Mantuo City two days before the wedding banquet.

Only when I saw the mysterious bride Su Miaoer did I realize that she was actually the silly and foolish girl from the south.

But she seems to have recovered her health and even her memory now.

When I saw Su Miaoer, I still remembered her.

"Sister Lanting!"

Miss Nan took Su Miaoer's hand and was very enthusiastic, as if she saw an old friend.

Su Miaoer blushed slightly: "Actually, my real name is Su Miaoer. If you don't mind, just call me Miaoer."

Miss Nan also said her name cheerfully and generously: "My name is Ping'er."

Ping'er, Nanping?

Why does this name sound familiar?
