I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Su Qingsong and Su Congxian had originally planned to come over and get a free meal, but they were immediately put on chores by Su Banxia as soon as they entered, and they immediately refused.

Su Banxia glanced at the two of them and smiled:

"Don't your third uncle and cousin want to?"

Seeing this, Lin quickly waved her hand and said:

"Of course we're willing! Why wouldn't we be? It's all our own work. Hurry up and get to work! What are you standing here for?"

As she spoke, Lin gave Su Qingsong a light kick to the buttocks. Su Qingsong, looking unwilling, rubbed his bottom and was about to say something when Lin glared at him, forcing him to swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Seeing that Madam Lin was serious this time, Su Congxian didn't hesitate and grabbed Su Qingsong's arm, leading him to the backyard.

Lin also turned around and gave Su Banxia a fawning smile.

"Don't worry, Banxia, ​​we'll get to work right away and make sure it's done perfectly for you."

Su Banxia smiled and nodded, murmuring as she watched Lin's departing figure:

"So eager of you, are you perhaps trying to borrow money from me?"

Seeing that everything was resolved, Wang Guihua, relieved, patted her chest and said:

“Good girl, thank goodness you came in time. I was so scared just now. Didn’t you see the way your grandma was? It seemed like she wanted to take over the whole house and not leave us a single room.”

Su Banxia patted Wang Guihua's hand to comfort her:

“Mother, don’t worry. We have official documents, no one can take it away. Besides, everyone in the village knows that this is a house that our second branch worked hard to build. Do you think she can take it away just by talking?”

As the mother and daughter were talking, they heard a voice from outside.

"Young Master Lou has arrived! Where is the master?"

Su Banxia frowned upon hearing this.

"Which Mr. Lou?"

Su Banxia turned and quickly went into the courtyard, where she saw Lou Wangyue standing there, dressed in a blue robe. Her exquisite face seemed to be gilded by the sunlight, making her appear completely out of place in the rural landscape.

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Wei Kezhi, who had come from the backyard with a butcher's knife to find Su Banxia in the front yard, saw this scene and quickly stood in front of Su Banxia warily. He looked at Lou Wangyue and said with dissatisfaction:

"What are you doing here? I don't think Banxia ever invited you!"

Lou Wangyue smiled slightly.

“Banxia is my friend. I learned that today is her housewarming party, so as her friend, I should come and give her a small gift.”

As he spoke, Lou Wangyue clapped his hands, and a dozen servants followed behind him, each carrying something in their hands. There was the shimmering brocade that was sought after by nobles in the capital, as well as some jewelry and some beautiful jade ornaments.

Seeing this, Su Banxia quickly waved her hand and said:

"Young Master Lou, these things are too valuable, I absolutely cannot accept them."

At this moment, Su Mo heard the commotion ahead and intended to come out to see what was going on. Little did she expect to see such a handsome and gentle man as Lou Wangyue. She had never seen such a refined and elegant man before.

Although Wei Kezhi's appearance was no less than Lou Wangyue's, the two had completely different temperaments—one gentle, the other aloof. Everyone felt that Lou Wangyue seemed more approachable.

As Su Mo thought this, she was startled. Could it be that Lou Wangyue was Su Banxia's future high-ranking official husband? With this thought in mind...

Su Mo clenched her fists involuntarily, cursing inwardly. Su Banxia and she were born from the same womb, so why was Su Banxia so lucky to receive the favor of so many men, while she was entangled with Su Feng and had no way to get along with him?

Thinking this, Su Mo straightened her clothes, then stepped forward and said softly:

"Brother Wei, is this young master your friend?"

Wei Kezhi glanced at Su Mo impatiently and said coldly:

"No."

Lou Wangyue noticed Su Mo standing next to Wei Kezhi, and saw that she looked somewhat like Su Banxia.

He then smiled and said:

"I am a friend of Banxia. May I ask who you are?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo quickly and gently bowed to Lou Wangyue.

"So you're my sister's friend. We've come all this way. We've been rude. Please come with me."

Su Banxia also walked over at this moment, glared at Su Mo, and then turned to look at Lou Wangyue.

"Young Master Lou, you've really gone to a lot of trouble. I can't accept these things. You should have your people take them back. If you don't mind, please stay for a meal."

Lou Wangyue ignored Su Mo after hearing this and turned to Su Banxia with a smile:

“Miss Banxia, ​​if you don’t accept this gift, you will be looking down on me.”

Su Banxia frowned.

“But I have no official title to charge you so much; I won’t be able to repay it in the future.”

Lou Wangyue smiled.

"I sincerely want to be friends with Miss Banxia. I never expected you to return the gifts I gave you. I'll be content as long as you accept them."

Hearing this, Su Mo gritted her teeth in anger. Why did Su Banxia have such good luck to meet such a rich person?

Su Mo glanced at the gifts brought by the servants, licked her lips, and smiled:

"Oh dear, sister, you're putting Young Master Lou in such a difficult position. Since they've come all this way, just accept it."

After saying that, Su Mo looked up at the moon from the building and gave a charming smile.

Lou Wangyue glanced at it, frowned slightly, and then smiled and said:

"Yes, Miss Banxia, ​​please accept it. It's nothing valuable. If you don't accept the gift, how can I stay for dinner?"

Upon hearing this, Su Banxia sighed helplessly, walked to a servant, and picked out a silver hairpin shaped like a butterfly from a pile of gold and silver jewelry.

"I like this hairpin, so I'll keep it. You can take the rest back with you, or I'll get angry!"

Seeing Su Banxia's words, Lou Wangyue could only helplessly wave his hand, signaling the servants to leave.

"Alright, I made a mistake in giving this gift, but luckily I was able to find something that Miss Banxia would like among all these common items, so that's enough."

Seeing Su Banxia accept Lou Wangyue's silver hairpin, Wei Kezhi felt a pang of resentment. Why had he been so foolish as to send a pig? A young lady would surely prefer gold and silver jewelry.

When Wei Kezhi saw Su Banxia put the hairpin directly into her hair, he couldn't help but clench his fists. He knew that the gift he had brought today would not be as pleasing to Banxia as the one Lou Wangyue had given him.

I've spent so many days with Banxia and I never even thought of giving her a piece of jewelry. I'm such an idiot!

Seeing that Wei Kezhi's expression was off, and that Su Banxia was chatting enthusiastically with Lou Wangyue, Su Mo noticed...

He then smiled and walked to Wei Kezhi's side, whispering:

“Brother Wei, you see? My sister is such a snob. Now she’s all excited to chat with people about gold and silver jewelry.”
