Two more days passed, and Su Qianrou was almost fully recovered, but Lin Rong was still worried, so she told her to stay in the house for a few more days until she was completely healed before going out.

Fortunately, Su Haoyu would come to see her every day and tell her interesting stories. Su Mingxuan would also bring back little trinkets from outside almost every day to keep her entertained. Even Su Jing'an, a very busy man, would bring her some food when he came back. Lin Rong would also come to keep her company every morning.

In addition, with Chunzhu being the quick-witted one, she was always the first to know about any interesting things that happened in the manor, and she would come back and tell her about them, which made Su Qianrou feel less bored.

At this moment, Su Qianrou was sitting on the couch, leisurely drinking tea.

Yuehong walked in and said excitedly, "Miss, Madam has sent you clothes and jewelry again."

"Greetings, Miss," Yunmeng and Qinghui greeted.

Then, Yunmeng said, "Miss, Madam said that although you cannot attend the spring banquet tomorrow, you will still have a chance to wear these clothes and jewelry, so she asked us to send them to you."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Chunzhu and Yuehong took the things from their hands.

"You're too kind, Miss... If there's nothing else, Miss, then we'll head back."

"Ok".

Then, Yunmeng and Qinghui went outside.

Looking at the jewelry and clothes on the table, Chunzhu said happily, "As expected, Madam really dotes on Miss. These clothes and jewelry are top-notch."

“This dress is too pink and doesn’t suit Miss. And these jewelry pieces are too flashy, while Miss is always low-key. However, these are quite suitable for the Second Miss.”

Chunzhu's smile vanished instantly, and she said, unable to contain herself any longer, "Yuehong, whose maid are you anyway? You always side with outsiders. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the second young lady's maid."

"I didn't say anything wrong. Miss is not suited to pink clothes in the first place, and besides, Miss herself doesn't like them either."

"When did the young lady say she didn't like it? You were the one who told her it wasn't suitable and not to let her wear it."

"Chunzhu, don't wrong me. If Miss doesn't agree with what I said, how could I, a mere maid, possibly make decisions for Miss?"

"you……".

"Alright, it's nothing serious, what's there to argue about... Yuehong, you can go out now."

“Miss, she was the one who spoke to me first, why should I leave?” Yuehong said indignantly.

"I'll speak for her."

Yuehong was still not satisfied, so she snorted at Chunzhu before walking out.

"Miss, look at her, she's getting more and more unruly."

"Alright, why bother arguing with her?"

“Miss, you know perfectly well that she and the second young lady are conspiring to harm you, yet you still keep her around. That’s bad enough, but you’re also indulging her. If this continues, she’ll become completely lawless.”

"Don't worry, she can't cause any trouble."

Seeing that she didn't seem to care, Chunzhu said with exasperation, "Just wait and see, the second young lady will be here in less than a quarter of an hour."

Su Qianrou thought to herself, "This is the woman I've been waiting for."

Sure enough, not long after, Su Wanshan walked in. Her eyes lit up when she saw the jewelry and clothes on the table, but she quickly realized what was going on and asked with feigned concern, "Are you feeling better, sister?"

Su Qianrou seemed surprised to see her and said with delight, "Little sister, what brings you here... Little sister, please have a seat."

Su Wanshan sat down next to her, saying, "Little sister, you look much better today."

"Hmm, it's much better... By the way, why is my sister coming at this hour?"

“I heard that my sister isn’t going to the spring banquet tomorrow, is that true?”

"I would like to go, but my mother won't let me."

"My mother was also worried about my older sister, since she was not fully recovered and it was indeed not advisable for her to go out."

"So I won't go. Have fun tomorrow, little sister."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at the manor to come back and tell you what happened at the banquet."

"it is good".

Then, Su Wanshan looked at the jewelry on the table, and picked up a hairpin at random. "This was prepared by my mother for my sister. It's so beautiful."

"It's beautiful, but it's a pity I can't go to the spring banquet tomorrow, so I can't wear it."

"Sister's jewelry is much prettier than mine."

Su Qianrou picked up her teacup, took a sip, and remained silent as if she hadn't heard her words.

If it were the original owner of this body, upon hearing her say that, she would definitely reply: "If you like it, sister, you can take it."

So when Su Wanshan didn't get a response from her for a long time, she couldn't help but look at her and call out, "Sister."

Su Qianrou pretended to be clueless and asked, "What's wrong?"

Helpless, Su Wanshan had no choice but to swallow her pride and say, "Sister, could you let me wear these pieces of jewelry and this dress?"

"That's not a good idea, doesn't my sister have her own?"

"As you know, the Spring Banquet is organized by Mother. In the past, with you here, no one paid much attention to me. But this year is different. Since you're not attending, I'll have to greet the guests in your place. I can't dress too shabbily, right, sister?"

“What my sister said makes sense. However, these jewelry and clothes were carefully prepared for me by Mother. If I give them to you, I’m afraid Mother will be unhappy.”

"No, think about it. If I dress more elegantly, outsiders will definitely say that Mother is virtuous and generous. This is a good thing for Mother, don't you think, sister?"

“What my sister says makes a lot of sense, but no matter what, this is all from Mother’s heart, and I can’t let her down… How about this, consider these as a loan to my sister, and she can return them to me when she’s done using them. What do you think, sister?”

Su Wanshan agreed without hesitation, "Okay," and then stood up impatiently, "Then I'll go back first, and come see you again tomorrow."

"Ok".

Then, Su Wanshan gave Yuexin a look, signaling her to take it away quickly.

Yuexin understood and stepped forward, but there were too many things for her to carry alone, so she could only look helplessly at Su Wanshan.

Su Wanshan couldn't possibly take it herself, as she felt it would be beneath her dignity, so she said, "Sister, leave the clothes here for now, and I'll have someone come and get them later."

"Why go through all this trouble? Just let Yuehong take it back for you... Yuehong, please take this dress back for the Second Miss."

“Yes, Miss,” Yuehong replied happily.

"Thank you very much, sister."

"No need to thank me, but it is indeed a bit too few for you to have only one maid, Yuexin, serving you. How about this, Yuehong will follow you from now on. If I remember correctly, you gave Yuehong her name, Yuehong. Yuehong and Yuexin, you can tell she belongs to you just by hearing them. It's perfect, Yuehong really liked the pastries you sent last time. Now that she's with you, she should be able to eat them often," Su Qianrou said, looking like she was thinking of them.

Su Wanshan and Yuehong felt a little guilty and uneasy when they heard about the pastries, fearing that Su Qianrou would find out what they had done.
