After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger

Chapter 422: Tao is ruthless but also full of affection (4)

After seven days' journey, Su Yinyue and her servant finally arrived at the gate of the Su Mansion. Looking up at the plaque above the gate, Su Yinyue sighed secretly and perked up a little to deal with the next situation.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked out from the side door and was slightly surprised when he saw Su Yinyue's face.

Su Yinyue originally had a beautiful face like a flower. After her practice, the impurities in her body were expelled, her skin became delicate and fair, and her temperament was extraordinary and otherworldly. She was eye-catching and did not look like someone who was raised in a country farm at all.

"...I am the steward of the Su Mansion. Miss Fourth can call me Steward Li."

Butler Li met her calm and inquiring gaze, and his heart skipped a beat. He had wanted to take advantage of this "master" who came from the countryside, but now he didn't dare to offend her. "The old lady and the eldest lady know that you are coming back today, and they are already waiting for you in the backyard..."

Su Yinyue nodded and said, "Thank you, Steward Li, for leading the way."

Butler Li took her through the front yard and garden, turned a few corners on the corridor, and finally arrived at a hall in the backyard.

"Madam, the fourth young lady is here!"

"come in."

After the maid at the door informed her, Su Yinyue walked in at the maid's signal...

As soon as she entered the hall, Su Yinyue felt countless pairs of eyes staring at her. The hall was full of people. Sitting in the center was an old lady with silver hair. Below her sat a middle-aged woman with a dignified face. Behind her were two women who were younger than her. On both sides sat a group of young people, both men and women.

The people in the room seemed to be stunned by Su Yinyue's beauty and temperament. They originally had a condescending look on their faces, but when they saw Su Yinyue's beautiful face, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment!

Su Yinyue quickly determined the identities of these people. She came to the white-haired old lady and the middle-aged woman and bowed to them according to the etiquette of Xiaohong Sect: "Yinyue greets grandmother, greets mother."

Madam Su looked at Su Yinyue's face, her smile deepened, and she said in a seemingly kind manner, "Good child, you have suffered a lot, and it's good that you are back."

A hint of hidden displeasure flashed across the eldest lady's eyes, which disappeared in an instant. She then took Su Yinyue's hand and smiled as usual:

"Mother is right. Yinyue had smallpox at the time, and the master was afraid that the other masters in the mansion would be implicated, so he had no choice but to send the child away. Now she is back safely. Yinyue is not young anymore, she is already seventeen years old. The master has always been thinking about this child and said that he would find a good marriage for her..."

As she was speaking, the maid behind the eldest lady came forward with two cups of tea and said, "The fourth lady hasn't offered tea to the lady and the old lady yet!"

Su Yinyue raised her head and glanced at the old lady who looked stern. She noticed that the teacup was steaming and she had an idea. She pretended to be respectful and picked up the cup of tea. The tea was incredibly hot. An ordinary person would have been scalded and embarrassed.

But Su Yinyue was a cultivator after all. With spiritual power in her hands, she steadily picked up the teacup. Under the slightly surprised gazes of the eldest lady and the old lady, she placed the teacup on the table next to the old lady: "Grandma, this tea is a little hot. Let it cool down first... and mother too."

Madam Su didn't say much, she just started to introduce the younger generations around her to her: "...your father and your eldest brother went out to work early in the morning. This is your second brother and his wife, this is your third brother and his wife, this is your younger brother Dexin..."

Su Yinyue looked at the slightly plump boy in front of her. He looked a bit like her. It seemed that he was her younger brother.

The younger brother did not show any joy of reuniting with his sister on his face. He just ate the snacks in his hand and watched the fun as if it had nothing to do with him.

"…This is your eldest sister Su Yinfeng. She came back from her husband's house specially because she knew you were coming back. This is your second sister Su Yinhua, and this is your third sister Su Yinxue…"

Su Yinyue looked at them one by one. Su Yinfeng looked at her with his chin raised, with disdain and arrogance on his face; Su Yinhua gave her a perfect smile, and there was a hint of jealousy in her eyes when she looked at Su Yinyue's face; Su Yinxue stood beside the eldest lady, and did not hide her contempt for Su Yinyue.

"Now that you're back, spend more time with your sisters at home..."

After some explanation and a few more words of chatting, and asking about Su Yinyue's situation at the farm, this hypocritical meeting finally came to an end.

After Madam Su and the eldest lady left, a beautiful middle-aged woman came forward and excitedly grabbed Su Yinyue: "Yinyue, you are finally back!"

Su Yinyue knew that this was her biological mother, Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang took Su Yinyue and Su Dexin back to her yard and began to ask about Su Yinyue's situation and also talked about her own recent situation.

Su Yinyue simply said a few words about what happened in the farm, and then listened silently to the chatter of the person in front of her.

She realized that Aunt Wang, her biological mother, did not care whether she was living a good life or not. She just kept complaining, saying that her life in the Su Mansion was difficult and that she was suppressed by the eldest lady, which was why she had not been able to take her back home. She told her not to feel resentful and to support her biological brother more in the future.

Su Yinyue looked at Aunt Wang expressionlessly, listening to her complaints, which were occasionally mixed with Su Dexin's cheerful voice in the yard. She felt no waves in her heart.

When she stopped to catch her breath, Su Yinyue asked directly, "Since you can't bring me back with your ability, then why do you want to bring me back to the Su Mansion this time?"

Aunt Wang was choked by her words. She realized that the woman in front of her had a solemn expression and a strong aura. She was so oppressive that she couldn't help but feel suffocated and scared: "...I, I don't..."

"If you dare to lie to me, I will make you regret your decision today!" Su Yinyue said with a sullen face.

"…Yes, Madam. The Master and Madam have arranged a marriage for you. It's basically settled, and they're just waiting for you to come back."

"Marriage?" Su Yinyue asked, "Who are you going to marry?"

"He is the second son of the Minister of Personnel, Yinyue. This is really a good marriage. Although he is going to be the second wife, he is the son of the Minister of Personnel. The old man has retired from the position in recent years. Now your father is only a fifth-rank official in the capital. With this marriage, our Su family and the Minister's family are also related, and it will be easier to get things done with someone in the court..."

"Who told you these words?"

"The master told me."

"Except for me, are all the other ladies in the mansion engaged?"

"…Su Yinhua has already been engaged and will be getting married after the New Year, but Su Yinxue has not yet been engaged."

"Since this marriage is so good, why not give it to Su Yinxue? She is the legitimate daughter of the Su family. Why should such a good marriage be given to a country girl?" Su Yinyue analyzed calmly.

"This... The second son of the Minister of Personnel is a concubine's son, and his two wives died before, so there are some bad rumors in the capital. However, the master has compared your horoscopes with that one, and they are a perfect match. I believe there will be no problem. This is also your chance..."

Su Yinyue got the information she wanted, and without further ado, she left the yard and was led to her room by the servants in the mansion...
