The gatekeeper went straight to Lu Linglong's courtyard. He looked at Lu Linglong and said in a low voice, "Miss, I have completed all the tasks you assigned!"

"Miss Su is waiting outside now. What do you think we should do next?"

After hearing this, Xing'er glanced at the gatekeeper and spoke first, "Since Miss Su is willing to wait, let her wait! She'll leave on her own when she can't take it anymore!"

Outside the Lu residence, the sun was blazing down on the earth. Su Yunyan stood there, ramrod straight, like a valiant warrior.

Seeing this, Cui'er felt extremely distressed! She looked at Su Yunyan and said somewhat angrily, "Miss, this Miss Lu is clearly targeting you on purpose."

"Look, the sun is so scorching right now, and she doesn't even want you to wait inside. No one has even brought you a cup of tea. Miss, why don't we go back? We can't stand this anymore."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunyan was furious and gritted her teeth. "Hmph, you, Lu Linglong, how dare you treat me like this! Just wait and see how I, Su Yunyan, deal with such a fool when I marry into this family."

Because they are currently outside the Lu residence, there are Lu family spies everywhere.

Su Yunyan remained expressionless, glanced at Cui'er, and said with a smile, "Cui'er, we are guests from afar, so we should abide by the rules set by Miss Lu."

"I think as long as we show our sincerity, Miss Lu shouldn't make things too difficult for us. Cui'er, don't you think I'm right?"

After hearing this, Cui'er looked at Su Yunyan and nodded helplessly.

Under such a scorching sun, the young lady didn't say anything, so what could this lowly servant girl say? She could only stand with her young lady under the sun and wait.

However, the sun was simply too scorching. An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Su Yunyan and her maid Cui'er were almost at their breaking point.

Just then, the inner door opened, and Lu Linglong, fanned by her maids, slowly walked out.

Lu Linglong looked at Su Yunyan and said with a hint of surprise, "Sister Yan'er, why did you come over? Why don't you come inside and sit down?"

"Did the servants of the Lu family neglect Sister Yan'er? Sister Yan'er, tell them, and Linglong will definitely get justice for you."

Just as Su Yunyan was about to say something, Cui'er spoke first: "Miss Lu, is this how you treat your guests at your Lu residence? You made your guests stand outside in the sun for an hour, and no one even brought them a cup of tea."

After hearing this, Lu Linglong looked at Cui'er with feigned disbelief, "Sister Yan'er, why didn't you ask the doorman to inform Linglong when you came? Otherwise, you wouldn't have had to wait so long."

Just as Cui'er was about to say something, Su Yunyan stopped her, simply looking at Cui'er and shaking her head.

Then, she looked at Lu Linglong and asked with a light smile, "Linglong, didn't the doorman say you went out to play with your friends and we don't know when you'll be back?"

"Linglong, why are you out here now? Can you explain why?" After hearing this, Lu Linglong looked at Su Yunyan and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Just then, Lu Linglong's maid, Xing'er, saw what was happening and spoke up at the opportune moment.

"Miss Su, my young lady did indeed go out with her friends today, but she came back later. Perhaps the gatekeeper didn't see her return!"

Su Yunyan seemed somewhat skeptical after hearing this, but she had no way to resolve the situation and no evidence to prove it.

Then, she looked at Lu Linglong and asked with a slight smile, "Linglong, is your stomach feeling better now? Does it still hurt? You must take better care of yourself next time!"

After hearing this, Lu Linglong looked at Su Yunyan, smiled slightly and nodded, "Sister Yan'er, Linglong knows, and will pay attention in the future. Thank you for your concern!"

After Lu Linglong finished speaking, she smiled and took Su Yunyan's hand as they walked into the Lu residence.

Lu Linglong was a simple-minded person, and hearing Su Yunyan's caring words immediately put her mind at ease.

Cui'er and Xing'er followed closely behind them, chatting and laughing, as if they were sisters who hadn't seen each other for many years, so close.

Lu Linglong glanced at Su Yunyan and continued, "Sister Yan'er, although I don't like your older sister, Miss Su, I am still very grateful to her for saving me. Her medical skills are excellent."

After hearing Lu Linglong's words, Su Yunyan's expression immediately turned ugly, and she even tightened her grip on Lu Linglong's hand.

"Sister Yan'er, you're hurting me! What's wrong?" Lu Linglong said in pain.

After hearing this, Su Yunyan looked at Lu Linglong and said awkwardly, "Linglong, I'm sorry, did I hurt you? I'm really fine, it was just an accident."

After hearing this, Lu Linglong glanced at Su Yunyan, said nothing, and simply let go of Su Yunyan's hand without making a sound, then walked away on her own.

Seeing this, Su Yunyan quickly caught up with Lu Linglong, "Linglong, wait for me!"

A short while later, Su Yunyan called Cui'er to her side and instructed her to fetch the prepared gifts from the carriage. After accepting the order, Cui'er went outside the Lu residence.

Seeing that only Cui'er came out, Jiao Lei asked softly, "Miss Cui'er, why did you come out alone? Where is the Second Miss?"

After hearing this, Cui'er told Jiao Lei that the Second Miss Su Yunyan had instructed her to come to the carriage to pick up the prepared gift.

After hearing this, Jiao Lei looked at Cui'er and said in a low voice, "Miss Cui'er, there are so many things, let me help you with them!" After hearing this, Cui'er looked at Jiao Lei, smiled and nodded.

Before long, Jiao Lei and Cui'er carried the gifts that Su Yunyan had prepared into Lu Linglong's courtyard and handed them to Su Yunyan.

After Su Yunyan took the gift, she waved her hand, signaling Cui'er and Jiao Lei to leave together.

Cui'er and Jiao Lei bowed to Su Yunyan and Lu Linglong respectively, and then slowly withdrew from Lu Linglong's courtyard.

After Jiao Lei and Cui'er left, Su Yunyan looked at Lu Linglong and presented the sour jujube cake as if it were a treasure. "Linglong, this is your favorite sour jujube cake. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

After hearing this, Lu Linglong looked at Su Yunyan, then at the sour jujube cake, and swallowed imperceptibly. However, Su Yunyan caught this scene.

Seeing this, Su Yunyan looked at Lu Linglong and took out a small piece of jujube cake and placed it in her hand.

Lu Linglong hesitated for a moment, but still took the jujube cake that Su Yunyan handed over and took a small bite.

She was immediately stunned. How could this sour jujube cake taste so much better than any she had ever eaten before? Before long, Lu Linglong had almost finished all the sour jujube cake that Su Yunyan had brought.

Lu Linglong looked at Su Yunyan with an embarrassed expression. Seeing this, Su Yunyan smiled and said, "Linglong, if you like it, I'll bring you more next time."

Upon hearing this, Lu Linglong was overjoyed! She walked forward and hugged Su Yunyan with great intimacy and naturalness.
