When the maid saw Su Yun coming back, a happy smile immediately appeared on her face and she hurried to greet him.

"Miss, you are finally back. I was so worried that I couldn't sleep all night. Are you okay?"

Su Yun forced a smile and gently patted the maid's hand, "I'm fine, don't make it public. Don't let Yichen know what happened today, or he won't worry about it."

Although the maid was full of worry, she nodded obediently when she saw Su Yun's serious expression, "I've made a note of this, Miss, don't worry."

Perhaps because he had experienced too much last night, Su Yun returned to his room and lay on the bed, feeling physically and mentally exhausted. He fell into a deep sleep in a short while and slept until noon the next day.

After waking up, Su Yun felt that the boredom in his heart had finally dissipated a little. Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, he felt like going out for a walk, so he took his maid out.

The master and servant walked and stopped along the way and came to the jewelry store they often went to.

As soon as Su Yun stepped into the store, his eyes were attracted by a white magnolia hairpin. The hairpin was lustrous and the carved white magnolia was lifelike, as if it still had the freshness of morning dew. Su Yun held it in his hand and liked it more and more. He couldn't help but want to buy it.

But at this moment, there was a commotion behind him, and then Zhang Xiaoyan, the daughter of Prime Minister Fu's family, walked in with a proud step.

She saw the hairpin in Su Yun's hand at a glance, and a gleam of determination flashed in her eyes. She walked straight forward, stretched out her hand and was about to take the hairpin, saying, "Oh, this hairpin is quite unique. I want it."

Su Yun subconsciously retracted the hairpin, frowning slightly, but thinking that less trouble is worse than more, he said softly: "I was the one who took a fancy to this hairpin first, but since Miss Zhang likes it, I'll give it to you."

Zhang Xiaoyan seemed to be irritated by Su Yun's concession. She snorted coldly, her face full of sarcasm.

"Humph, who did I think it was? Turns out it's you, the shameless Su Yun, who relied on her seductive ways to get close to Fu Yichen and become his concubine. How come you're trying to snatch even a hairpin from me? Don't you even consider your own status? You're a nobody, and you dare to act like that here."

Su Yun's face turned pale instantly. She clutched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands. She bit her lips, trying her best to suppress the anger and grievance in her heart. After taking a deep breath, she slowly said:

"Miss Zhang, I have already given you the hairpin. I hope you can be more kind with your words and not say such hurtful things again."

Zhang Xiaoyan became more and more proud. She played with the hairpin in her hand, walked around Su Yun, and looked her up and down, as if she was examining something dirty.

"Oh, am I wrong? You are a nobody, and Fu Yichen is just trying to please you for a while. When he gets tired of you, you'll cry. As for this hairpin, just think of it as a reward from me because I pity you. But you have to remember, when you see me in the future, it's best to stay away from me to avoid getting yourself into trouble."

The maidservant was so angry that her eyes turned red. She wanted to step forward to argue, but was secretly held back by Su Yun.

Su Yun knew that if she continued to get entangled with someone like Zhang Xiaoyan, things would only become more embarrassing. She held back her tears, pulled her maid and turned to leave the jewelry store.

But Zhang Xiaoyan still refused to give up. She raised her voice and shouted at Su Yun's back: "Humph, you did such a shameless thing, and you still pretend to be noble? I want to see how long you can be so proud!"

When the people around heard this, they all cast strange glances at her. Su Yun felt that those glances were like thorns, piercing her heart with pain. Her steps became more and more hurried, and she just wanted to escape this place as soon as possible...

After leaving the jewelry store, the maid looked at Su Yun distressedly and said in a tearful voice, "Miss, Zhang Xiaoyan is too much. Why do you have to let her bully you like this? Wait until the master comes back and let the master make the decision for you."

Su Yun shook his head slightly, his eyes full of bitterness. "Forget it, Yichen is very busy now, I don't want to bother him with these trivial matters. Let's go back and pretend we didn't come out today."

After saying that, she lowered her head and walked silently towards home, but her back looked particularly lonely and helpless, as if the bustling streets were separated from her by a layer of cold frost.
