Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves
Chapter 89 Refusing Gifts
When Taohong heard the sound, she ran to open the backyard door.
As the door opened, Wu Xiaowen strode in, waving a jade-handled fan, and behind him, Ye Mo, dressed in a black robe, walked in slowly.
"Master Su has such a bad temper!"
Ye Mo smiled wryly and said in a deep voice, "Killing people at every turn doesn't look like a loving father at all. With such an image, how can he be qualified for the position of Minister of Rites?"
This one sentence suddenly pinched Su Tinggui's throat.
"Your Highness Prince Qi, I am only saying a few harsh words because I am dissatisfied with my daughter's neglect of the distinguished guests." Su Tinggui's tone immediately changed 180 degrees.
"Dignified guest?"
Ye Mo's eyes fell on Song Shuang who was not far away, and then glanced at the wooden box they were carrying, and raised the corner of his lips slightly, "Is he a distinguished guest?"
Song Shuang felt uneasy at being stared at, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I greet His Royal Highness Prince Qi."
"Are you a distinguished guest?"
Ye Mo asked coldly again.
"Compared to Your Highness, I am nothing but a distinguished guest." Song Shuang quickly tried to smooth things over.
"I came down here, but I didn't see anyone. Can't you wait?" he asked again.
Song Shuang's back was covered in cold sweat, and he maintained a bowing posture, "Of course I can wait."
Under his powerful pressure, Song Shuang took a few steps back and changed his tone to Tao Hong, "Please tell Miss Su that I have brought a generous gift on behalf of His Royal Highness Prince Jin to thank her for saving my life."
A life-saving grace?
Everyone present was shocked.
How did Su Manman become the savior of His Royal Highness Prince Jin when she didn't even leave the house?
Wu Xiaowen winked at Ye Mo and whispered, "Miss Su is really capable. Even your third brother owes her a favor."
Ye Mo's face darkened and he said nothing.
Song Shuang had the box placed at the door, then he pulled out a silver note from his sleeve and handed it forward, "This is the fortune-telling fee I owe the young lady. Please give it to her."
Taohong was neither humble nor subservient. She stretched out her hand and took the banknote naturally, saying, "I will accept the banknote on behalf of the young lady. However, the young lady has her own rules."
"Since she has accepted the fortune-telling fee, she will not accept anything else. Sir Song, please take back this box of things."
In this world, there are actually people who would refuse the kindness of His Royal Highness Prince Jin.
Song Shuang's face turned grim as he walked over and opened the lid of the box.
The box was divided into two parts. One half contained various high-quality medicinal materials. In the first brocade box was a ginseng. Judging from its size and quality, it was probably a hundred years old.
The other half is filled with various jewelry, sparkling with gold.
"Please tell Miss Su that this is the sincerity of His Royal Highness Prince Jin."
Everyone in the yard looked at the contents of the box with a changed expression.
Su Tinggui had not expected what that girl had done to save His Royal Highness Prince Jin and catch his eye, so that she would not forget to send such a valuable gift to the Su Mansion on the second day after she was assassinated.
Su Jiaojiao gritted her teeth in anger.
These things should have all been hers.
Why give it to such a bitch?
Aunt Liu's eyes widened.
Such a good thing.
She had never seen it.
If I give that hundred-year-old ginseng to my aunt, she will definitely forgive her for what she did before.
Any piece of jewelry picked out from that half-box would make the old lady happy.
But, all these good things were given to that bitch Su Manman.
Her hatred of the rich made her furious.
Taohong's heart was also in turmoil.
She had no home since she was a child, and had always followed the opera troupe, traveling all over the country. For a few taels of silver as a performance fee, she would sing, sing and play with a group of people, performing all day long, until her throat was so tired that it was smoking and her back could not be straightened.
Working so hard is just enough to make a living.
If it is the off-season, it is very difficult for more than a dozen people to eat coarse food.
She was tempted by all these good things.
"Sister Taohong..." Chunhua, who had been guarding under the eaves, called out.
Taohong regained her composure and smiled faintly, "I'm sorry, sir."
She refused again. "The girl said that if you take money from someone, you're helping them get rid of disasters. The price is set, and there's no reason to increase it midway. That's her rule."
She actually refused to accept such a good thing.
Su Tinggui's expression changed slightly.
He didn't expect that the girl who was raised by him in the countryside since childhood could regard money as dirt.
Aunt Liu, who was standing by, secretly approached Su Tinggui, reached out and tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "Master, how can we refuse the kindness of His Highness Prince Jin?"
"The eldest girl won't accept it. You are her father, so you can accept it for her."
"This is the Su Mansion. How can we let a lowly maid from the Nishang Courtyard make the decision for us?"
"This..." Song Shuang was a little embarrassed.
Miss Su has the ability to predict good and bad luck, and His Royal Highness Prince Jin wants to recruit her for his own use.
Song Shuang glanced at Ye Mo and understood.
His Highness Prince Qi probably has half the same idea as his own prince.
However, His Royal Highness Prince Qi came to visit in person, which gave him the upper hand in terms of sincerity.
This is how to do?
How can he make up for the point he lost?
"Master Song, take your things and leave."
Wu Xiaowen, who had been waving a jade-handled fan, jokingly said, "I'm going to go into the house to check Lin's pulse. Does your Highness have anything else to say? Or tell me and I'll tell Miss Su for you?"
"No, no more."
He was afraid that he would not be able to see Miss Su today, so there was no point in staying any longer.
"Your Highness, I'm leaving."
"Master Su, I will go ahead."
Song Shuang waved his hand, and several people carried the boxes and left in disgrace.
Su Tinggui saluted Ye Mo and asked, "I wonder what brings you here, Your Highness?"
He doesn't even know that he comes here every day?
"I'm accompanying Wu Xiaowen to take Lin's pulse." Ye Mo answered calmly.
When did the Lin family become so important?
Su Tinggui was confused and asked, "Your Highness is so noble, how could you condescend to come to the Lin family's courtyard?"
Lin is Su Tinggui's wife. It is inappropriate for His Highness Prince Qi to do this.
"Miss Su saved my life."
Ye Mo said in a deep voice: "Your Highness knows how to repay a favor. Your benefactor's mother is seriously ill, so I will do my best to take care of her."
A life-saving grace?
His Royal Highness Prince Qi also mentioned it last time. How many people has this girl saved outside?
"But it is really inappropriate for Your Highness and Master Wu to enter through the back door..." Su Tinggui reminded with a grim expression.
"What's wrong with that?"
Wu Xiaowen continued, "Could it be that if we enter through the main gate every day, the entire capital will be discussing the purpose of Prince Qi and Wu Xiaowen coming to the Su Mansion within a day?"
"Everyone in this capital is a noisy sparrow. Who knows how the rumors will spread?"
"As long as Lord Su keeps silent, who will know what's going on?"
"Master Su, will you tell me? Or is it that you can't control the mouths of the people in the mansion, and this matter will spread through the mouths of the people in the Su Mansion?"
This sentence has a threatening tone.
Su Tinggui was embarrassed and could only respond: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will take good care of the servants and make sure they keep their mouths shut."
