After a long while, Cui'er finally spoke up, "Miss, it's not very convenient for us to bring so many pastries to the Lu residence. Why don't we take them back first and go later?"

After hearing this, Su Yunyan looked at Cui'er and said in a low voice, "Cui'er, we can go to the Lu residence first, have the coachman take the pastries back, and then come to the Lu residence to pick us up. That would be fine too."

After hearing this, Cui'er looked at Su Yunyan, then at the direction of the coachman, and said in a low voice, "Miss, but this will take up a bit of the coachman's time."

After hearing this, Su Yunyan looked at Cui'er and said, "Alright then! We'll take your word for it and send the pastries back first, then go to the Lu residence."

After hearing this, Cui'er smiled slightly and looked at Su Yunyan. Then, she whispered to the coachman, "Brother Jiao, let's go back first!"

Upon hearing this, coachman Jiao Lei was immediately flattered. Cui'er, a favorite of the second young lady Su Yunyan, would actually call him Brother Jiao so affectionately.

Then, he slowly turned the carriage around and spoke softly to Su Yunyan and Cui'er inside, "Second Miss, Miss Cui'er, please sit down properly."

After Jiao Lei finished speaking, he drove the carriage at top speed towards the Su residence. A short while later, the carriage returned to the Su residence.

As soon as Su Yunyan and Cui'er got off the carriage, they were so frightened that they almost vomited.

Seeing this, Jiao Lei looked at Su Yunyan and Cui'er, and said tremblingly, "Second Miss, Miss Cui'er, it was this servant who failed to control the speed of the carriage, causing you both to be frightened. I am truly sorry!"

After hearing this, Su Yunyan looked at Jiao Lei, shook her head, and said weakly, "Jiao Lei, you were just trying to get us and the pastries back to the Su residence in time. That's why you drove the carriage so fast. I won't blame you!"

After hearing this, Jiao Lei looked at Su Yunyan and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, Cui'er looked at Jiao Lei and said with a light smile, "Brother Jiao, please slow down later, you scared me to death!"

After hearing this, Jiao Lei looked at Cui'er awkwardly and nodded heavily. Because he had made a mistake first, he took the initiative to help deliver all the pastries to Fengxiang Courtyard.

Before long, Jiao Lei and Cui'er delivered all the pastries back to Fengxiang Courtyard.

Jiao Lei glanced at Su Yunyan and asked in a low voice, "Second Miss, are we going to the Lu residence now?"

Just as Su Yunyan was about to say something, Cui'er looked at Jiao Lei and spoke first, "Brother Jiao, Miss probably needs to rest now. Let's go this afternoon!"

After hearing this, Jiao Lei looked at Su Yunyan. Su Yunyan waved her hand, signaling him to leave. After Jiao Lei left, Su Yunyan lay on the bed for a while.

About half an hour later, Su Yunyan woke up groggily.

Just then, Cui'er walked in and asked in a low voice, "Miss, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

After hearing this, Su Yunyan looked at Cui'er and said with a light smile, "Cui'er, sleeping for too long will make you uncomfortable. Besides, we still have to go to the Lu residence this afternoon."

Just as Cui'er was about to say something, Lan'er from the main courtyard came over and invited Su Yunyan to have lunch in the front hall. After hearing this, Su Yunyan, along with Cui'er, followed Lan'er to the front hall.

After a while, Su Yunyan followed Lan'er to the front hall. At this time, Su Lie, Liu Shi, and Su Yunchu were already seated in their respective seats.

Upon seeing this, Su Yunyan bowed to Su Lie and Liu Shi, and then sat down in her seat.

Once everyone had arrived, Su Lie instructed his servants to neatly arrange the food on the table. The servants obeyed and brought the dishes up one after another, all neatly arranged.

Before long, the table was filled with a large spread of delicious food.

There are dishes that I can name, such as braised pork belly, steamed sea bass, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and sweet and sour pork ribs, as well as many other dishes that I can't name.

Just then, Su Yunyan suddenly remembered that she had bought a lot of pastries on the street that day. "Father, Mother, Sister, I bought some pastries today. Would you like to try some?"

After hearing this, Su Lie looked at Su Yunyan and nodded with a slight smile. Seeing this, Su Yunyan quickly instructed Cui'er to go back to Fengxiang Courtyard and fetch some pastries.

After receiving the order, Cui'er went out. A short while later, Cui'er returned with some pastries from Fengxiang Courtyard.

Su Yunyan took the pastries from Cui'er's hands, looked at Su Lie and the other two, and said with a light smile, "Father, Mother, Sister, please have some!"

Seeing this, Su Lie and the other two each took a small piece of pastry and took a small bite.

Su Lie looked at Su Yunyan and spoke first, "Yan'er, all the pastries you bought are delicious, especially this jujube cake."

"Father, I'm glad you like it," Su Yunyan said softly. "If you like it, I'll buy more next time."

After lunch, Su Yunyan returned to Fengxiang Courtyard. After tidying up for a while, she took Xier and got into the carriage to go to the Lu residence.

Because they were in a hurry in the morning, Jiao Lei drove the carriage a little too fast, which made Su Yunyan and Cui'er feel particularly uncomfortable. Therefore, Jiao Lei drove the carriage much slower this time.

About half an hour later, the carriage came to a smooth stop outside the Lu residence. Su Yunyan respectfully announced her purpose for coming to the residence to the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper hurriedly ran to report to Lu Linglong, but Lu Linglong was a little angry because Su Yunyan had not let her into Fengxiang Courtyard, and immediately decided to make things difficult for Su Yunyan as well.

Lu Linglong glanced outside; the sun was blazing, incredibly harsh, and she immediately had an idea. She called the gatekeeper over, whispered a few words in his ear, and the gatekeeper listened and nodded.

After a while, the gatekeeper came out. He looked at Su Yunyan and said apologetically, "Miss Su, my young lady has gone out to play with her friends. I don't know when she will be back."

Su Yunyan looked inside but didn't see Lu Linglong. She then glanced at the gatehouse and said in a low voice, "The sun outside is too scorching. May I wait for Miss Lu to return inside?"

After hearing this, the gatekeeper glanced at Su Yunyan and shook his head without making a sound.

“Miss Su, this might not work! My mistress doesn’t like people entering her home casually; she’ll be very unhappy. Miss Su, please don’t make things difficult for us servants, okay?”

After hearing this, Su Yunyan glanced at the gatekeeper and nodded awkwardly, "Alright then! I'll wait here for Miss Lu to return!"

After hearing this, the gatekeeper bowed to Su Yunyan and entered the Lu residence.
