A kiss, and I'll live another day; they begged me not to go crazy.

Su Aige led Xiao Liu slowly through the gates of the Su residence.

She turned to look at Xiaoliu, who seemed a little reserved beside her, and asked softly:

How is your family doing now?

......

Xiaoliu lowered her head slightly, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes, and answered softly:

"Reply to Your Excellency."

This year, our family suffered a famine, and tragically, all of my family members starved to death.

I was left to eke out a living.

I recently returned to my hometown and leased my land to someone else, then rushed here to be with you.

......

Upon hearing this, Su Aige

While comforting him, I couldn't help but nod slightly, silently pondering to myself:

This person is quite intelligent.

Even though they no longer intend to cultivate the land themselves, they know to lease it out.

Instead of being greedy for short-term gains and selling off land for quick money.

......

Thinking of this, she looked up and examined Xiao Liu in front of her again.

He was thinking that he urgently needed a clever, quick-witted, and efficient person to help him run errands.

Although Xiao Wu has always been loyal and devoted to staying by his side,

However, due to his special status, it is really inconvenient for him to handle many matters when he goes out.

It seems,

Xiaoliu is a suitable candidate, but we still need to observe him for a while before making a decision.

......

Thinking of this, Su Aige nodded to Xiao Liu again and smiled, indicating that he could choose a room to stay in.

As Xiaoliu turned and left...

As Su Aige looked at the increasing number of people in the mansion, a sense of melancholy welled up in her heart.

She wondered if she should really consider buying a larger house if things continued this way.

After all, with the silver sent from their hometown and the generous rewards bestowed by the emperor,

Buying a spacious and comfortable house should be an easy thing.

......

Having made up her mind, Su Aige hurriedly called back Xiao Liu, who hadn't gone far, and solemnly assigned him her first task:

"Tomorrow, go and inquire around the area carefully."

See which family is interested in selling a house, and preferably a larger one.

Xiaoliu quickly bowed and agreed, indicating that she would do her best to complete the task.

......

After returning to his room,

Su Aige gently took off the clothes she had worn when she went out and changed into a set of loose and comfortable home clothes.

Just as she was about to take a short rest, she suddenly heard the doorman's familiar voice from outside the door:

"Young Master, the young master of the Wang family has sent over a lot of things!"

......

Su Aige couldn't help but feel puzzled, and muttered to herself, "Hmm?"

What exactly is Wang Er up to this time?

Filled with curiosity and confusion, she quickly walked out of her house.

However, when she saw the scene before her, she couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Wang Er sat majestically on a tall and imposing steed.

He was directing his many servants, who were busily carrying boxes of goods toward the Su family.

......

"Slow down, all of you!"

Handle these carefully; they are all extremely valuable items!

Wang Er shouted at the top of his lungs.

......

Su Aige couldn't stand it any longer.

He stepped forward and asked:

"Hey, Wang Er, what are you doing?"

......

Upon hearing Su Aige's words, Wang Er...

He remained silent at first, then carefully examined her from head to toe.

After noticing her current attire, he lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.

......

After a while,

He then raised his head, a familiar smile appearing on his face:

"Hehe, Brother Su, the New Year is almost here."

My younger brother specially brought you some New Year's gifts as a small token of his appreciation!

......

Su Aige was even more confused after hearing this, and asked in return with a look of suspicion:

"Oh?

Why did you suddenly decide to give me so many things?

"You've never been this generous before!"

Before Su Aige could refuse this kindness, the servants had already quickly completed the moving work.

......

Immediately afterwards, as if knowing that Su Aige would have an attack,

Without saying a word, Wang Er spurred his horse and galloped away.

All that remained was a trail of flying dust and a bewildered Su Aige standing there.

......

Watching Wang Er's departing figure,

Su Aige shook her head helplessly and turned to walk towards the boxes that had just been placed in the yard.

She carefully opened one of the boxes.

In an instant, a dazzling light emanated from within.

It turns out that the entire box was filled with exquisite hairpins!

Each hairpin is uniquely designed, exquisitely crafted, and inlaid with dazzling gemstones, making them a feast for the eyes.

......

Then, Su Aige opened another box.

This time, what caught my eye was a whole box full of warm and delicate jade pendants.

Some of these jade pendants are carved into lifelike animal figures.

Some feature beautiful and elegant floral patterns.

Each one is a masterpiece of craftsmanship.

Faced with such a generous and valuable gift, Su Aige was momentarily at a loss for words...

......

Su Aige looked helplessly at the mountain of items piled up in front of her:

"What would I do with so much stuff?"

She picked up one of the items at random and examined it carefully.

These two boxes together are probably worth a fortune!

However, even if it is precious, Su Aige doesn't need it.

......

She gently stroked the hem of her dress and murmured to herself:

“I just bought it today, and it was a gift from Guo Si.”

The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

......

Just then, thinking about the hairpin Xiaowu bought for her today,

Su Aige's eyes widened in disbelief and speechlessness.

She seemed to suddenly understand the intention behind Wang Er's actions.

......

An inexplicable fire surged in Su Aige's chest.

"What does he take me for?"

Are toys that can be fought over?

......

She quickly beckoned to Xiao Liu and instructed her firmly:

"Xiao Liu, hurry up and take all these things back to Wang Er!"

......

Xiaoliu looked slightly surprised when she heard the order.

But he quickly regained his composure and replied, "Yes, young master."

Despite being filled with doubts

After all, he still remembered how his young master had jumped into the river in the dead of winter to save the young master of the Wang family.

He also helped carry the injured Wang Er on his back, desperately escaping the enemy who was hot on their heels.

But now, the young master avoids Wang Er like the plague.

However, Xiaoliu knew she shouldn't ask too many questions about her master's affairs; she just needed to follow Su Aige's instructions.

......

Seeing that Xiao Liu was so obedient and sensible, Su Aige nodded in satisfaction.

However, when Wang Er's image reappeared in her mind, she felt a headache coming on.

I had initially thought that after spending some time together, Wang Er had become much more well-behaved and sensible.

But now it seems she was being too naive.

......

Young masters like Wang Er, who were pampered and spoiled from childhood,

How could one possibly change simply because of an outsider like oneself?

Thinking back to my past,

Su Aige was filled with regret for being so foolish as to secretly rejoice at his change.
