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

Lotus, who was peering out the window, knew exactly what her younger brother, Daya, was saying. Lotus couldn't believe there was such a shameless woman in the world; even with her parents locking her at home, she managed to escape and ruin her own wedding.

If she had truly distrusted Su Shiyan's character and stormed out of the Su family's second branch in a fit of anger, then this matter would likely have been difficult to resolve.

Thinking this, Lianhua felt a lingering fear and subconsciously patted her chest. Fortunately, she chose to believe Su Shiyan, and that resolved the conflict between them.

Lotus watched the girl's departing figure, muttering to herself.

"It seems I'll have to be careful around Daya in Sujia Village from now on. She doesn't seem like she'll give up easily. As long as she's not married, I'll have to keep an eye on her to avoid giving her another chance to ruin my marriage with Su Shiyan."

By the time Su Banxia brought the bedding downstairs to change Lianhua's clothes, Daya had already been helped away from the courtyard by her younger brother.

"Banxia, ​​how can this girl be so shameless? She actually thought of ruining my marriage with your brother and me, and she even came to upset me on our happy day."

Seeing Lianhua's helpless and frightened expression, Su Banxia smiled at her.

"There are all kinds of people in this world. Once you've seen enough, nothing will seem strange anymore. Just be careful in the future. As long as you believe in my brother's feelings for you, no one else can ruin your plans."

Lotus felt a sudden sense of clarity upon hearing Su Banxia's words.

"Yes, Banxia, ​​I believe in your brother. He's been so good to me, how could he do anything to betray me?"

Seeing that Lianhua didn't think much of it, Su Banxia felt relieved. After making the bed for Lianhua, she went to the yard to cook.

Seeing that Lianhua had been dragged away, Su Mo dared to show herself. She immediately looked around and saw that Lou Wangyue had already been seated in the honored seat by Su Banxia. So she quickly tidied herself up in front of the washbasin and followed Lou Wangyue into the room to sit down.

"Young Master Lou, you've come all this way, have some tea to soothe your throat first."

Lou Wangyue turned her head and saw Su Mo's fawning face. For some reason, Lou Wangyue originally didn't have much malice towards Su Mo. She neither liked nor disliked her. But ever since she found out that Su Mo had tricked her because of Su Banxia, ​​Lou Wangyue didn't want to say another word to Su Mo.

Although Lou Wangyue knew that Su Mo had severed ties with the second branch of the Su family, he couldn't understand why Su Mo was attending Su Shiyan's wedding now.

Unable to figure it out, Lou Wangyue gave up trying and simply continued to appease Su Mo on the surface.

"No need to entertain me, Su Mo. I've been friends with Banxia since I was born. I feel right at home here. I can manage on my own. If you want to entertain someone, go ahead and entertain others."

Su Mo never expected Lou Wangyue to reject her so bluntly. She hadn't done anything wrong; she had only wanted to pour him tea or water, yet Lou Wangyue still kept her at arm's length.

Whenever Su Mo thought of this, she began to hate Su Banxia. If it weren't for Su Banxia's meddling, Lou Wangyue wouldn't have been so cold to her. Lou Wangyue used to take care of her like a younger sister, but now she treats her coldly. All of this was caused by Su Banxia.

Thinking this, Su Mo clenched her fists. She suddenly remembered seeing Fu Bao and Su Banxia arguing this morning, so she put down the teapot and went out to look for Fu Bao.

When Su Mo found Fu Bao, she saw him sitting at the table outside, occupying a plate of braised pork knuckle by himself. He was eating it with his mouth full of oil, and everyone looked at him with disdain, but they were too embarrassed to say anything. After all, he was the bride's younger brother, and in the future, he and the second branch of the Su family would be one family. If she said something out of line now, he might go back and tell his mother and sister, which would cause unpleasantness between the two families, and that would not be good.

Su Mo walked to the table, rolled her eyes at Fu Bao, and, suppressing her disgust, patted his shoulder.

"You must be Fu Bao, Lianhua's younger brother?"

Fu Bao's mouth was stuffed full, and when she looked up and met Su Mo's little face, her eyes widened instantly.

"Hey girl, you're so pretty! Who are you? Marry me and become my wife."

While chewing on the pork knuckle, Fu Bao stared at Su Mo with a gleam in his eyes.

Upon hearing Fu Bao's words, Su Mo coughed a few times in exasperation.

“I am Su Shiyan’s younger sister. I’ve been busy with other things and haven’t been living at home, so it’s understandable that you haven’t met me before.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Bao forgot about the braised pork knuckle in her hand, put it directly on the plate, looked up at Su Mo, and said:

“You are Su Banxia’s sister, no wonder you two look somewhat alike. Although you are not as pretty as her, it would be good for you to marry me. In this way, our two families can become closer, which is equivalent to exchanging my sister for you.”

Upon hearing Fu Bao's words, Su Mo looked at his fat face, which resembled a pig's head, and felt a wave of nausea. She thought that marrying a coward like Fu Bao would be far better than marrying Su Feng…

Seeing that Su Mo was staring at her blankly without saying a word, Fu Bao reached out to grab Su Mo's sleeve.

"Hey girl, why aren't you saying anything? If you don't say anything, does that mean you've agreed to my request?"

Seeing that Fu Bao's greasy hand was about to reach out, Su Mo quickly took a few steps back and forced a dry laugh:

"It's really unfortunate. I'm already engaged, but we'll get married after the New Year. I think my sister is about the same age as you, so you two would be a perfect match."

When Fu Bao heard that Su Mo was already engaged, she immediately looked resentful.

“Your sister is so slow-witted. I’ve said it before: it would be best for me to marry her. Our two families would be even closer, and no one could say anything about it. But she’s so stupid. I’ve been chasing after her, but she always pushes me away. I really don’t know what she’s thinking.”

As he spoke, Fu Bao pretended to be cool and shook his hand helplessly, then raised his greasy hand to pinch his brow.

Looking at his current state, Su Mo thought about how chaotic his life would be if he were to marry Su Banxia. In that case, she could say that she had found a good match for Su Banxia.

Su Mo smiled and looked at Fu Bao, saying:

“What you said is true. My sister has always been dull-witted and knows nothing about matters of love between men and women. That’s why I came to talk to you about this today. If you have some free time, come with me for a walk in the woods over there.”
