After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

"Why are you being so polite to me? If you have anything to say, just tell me, Brother Su!" Shen Yingshi smiled brightly with a frank expression.

"Well... your family is here, do you have any young maids? I... I want to borrow a maid..."

Su Zhengyang was afraid that he might misunderstand, so he quickly explained, "My niece might still be thinking about her past life of luxury, thinking that she could live that kind of luxury life after returning to the capital, so she insisted on looking for her maid Ling'er. I..."

Su Zhengyang's voice became smaller and smaller.

In the past, their Su family was also a wealthy family with more than a dozen maids and nannies.

But after his mother and father passed away, his family's financial situation plummeted.

He has long faced the reality that if one wants to live a decent life, he has to rely on himself to fight and make breakthroughs.

But Gu Jia was still too young and a little girl, so she couldn't understand these principles even if he told her.

I’m afraid that if Gu Jia continues to make trouble, Aunt Fang will not tolerate it.

After feeling the impact of the high prices in Kyoto... Su Zhengyang felt that he couldn't find a better person to help him than Aunt Fang.

"The maid didn't..." Shen Yingshi said in embarrassment.

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Su Zhengyang quickly said shyly, "Forget it if you don't have it, forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

He didn't have the money to buy a maid, nor did he want Shen Yingshi to buy a maid for him. He might not even be able to afford the monthly salary.

Moreover, adding one more person will bring a lot more expenses.

"My eldest brother is surrounded by servants. He doesn't like maids to serve him personally." Shen Yingshi scratched his head and lowered his voice, "But I have a friend who just came to Kyoto recently. She won't help you take care of the child, but it should be okay to ask her to come and help you coax the child for a few days."

Shen Yingshi blinked at Su Zhengyang and said, "Look, is it okay?"

"Is this... too much trouble?"

"It's not a problem. Just don't mind her background."

"What qualifications do I have to look down on others?" Su Zhengyang smiled bitterly.

Shen Yingshi was really kind to him. Su Zhengyang was grateful and bowed to thank him solemnly.

Shen Yingshi pushed his hand away and said, "Brother, it's too polite to say that. I'll find someone for you right away."

Su Zhengyang, who originally didn't want to stay at home, had to take half a day off in order to keep his two children at home safe.

Shen Yingshi also quickly brought his friend.

"Greetings, Mr. Su. I am Lin Qiong."

Lin Qiong is young and beautiful, and her every move exudes the beauty of a fragile willow in the wind.

Her voice was so tender that it made one's bones soften. She was holding a guqin in her arms.

Aunt Fang came out of the kitchen and saw Lin Qiong. She immediately frowned and looked disapproving.

Su Zhengyang was also a little embarrassed.

It's obvious at first glance that Lin Qiong is the girl from the building.

When Shen Yingshi said that he "didn't mind her background", Su Zhengyang didn't think about it that way at all.

But now that the person has been brought here, if he were to drive him away, it would probably be... too embarrassing.

Shen Yingshi invited this person to help him.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Miss Lin to be so young and not know how to coax a child. You..." Su Zhengyang wanted her to give up on her own.

This way, he will look better in front of Shen Yingshi.

But unexpectedly, Lin Qiong smiled softly, "Mr. Shen has already told me, I will help to coax the child for two days."

"Although I don't have any children, I have taken care of my brothers and sisters at home before."

Well, everyone has agreed, what else can he say?

Su Zhengyang has given up struggling. Anyway, he doesn't want to go through what happened last night again.

After quickly settling his two children at home, he went to Shenjiying.

Lin Qiong came into the room and just put away her own piano.

A small figure ran out and stood beside her piano.

Su Zhengyang was startled.

Don't!

Don't smash other people's piano!

He shouted in fear, "Jia Jia!"

However, Gu Jia just sat down next to the zither and uncovered the cloth on it.

The little girl's small hand gently fell on the piano.

"I haven't played the piano for so long, it feels like two lifetimes... I wonder how much I can still remember?"

Shen Yingshi looked at Su Zhengyang in surprise, "Jia Jia can also play the piano?"

"How could she..." Su Zhengyang frowned and changed his words, "I don't know either."

"You can also play the piano? How well do you play?" Lin Qiong asked with a smile.

Gu Jia ignored her and continued to pluck the strings of the zither.

Of course it was very awkward and I even played the wrong notes frequently.

Su Zhengyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was shocked... He really thought too much.

My sister said in the letter that they were living in dire straits in the Gu family.

How could Jia Jia have learned to play the piano?

Su Zhengyang was about to tell Aunt Fang something when he left with Shen Yingshi.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qiong said, "You play well, but you haven't practiced for a long time, so it's not so good. Who taught you how to play the piano?"

Su Zhengyang paused and looked at the two people in the room in confusion.

"The teacher my mother hired for me is called Lu Chun'er. My mother said that she is a famous teacher in Kyoto, and many young ladies from wealthy families want to ask her for instruction in playing the piano!" Gu Jia's face was full of pride.

Su Zhengyang's brows suddenly frowned.

Lu Chuner?

Is this a name Jia Jia made up herself?

But she is just a little kid, can she make up stories?

Lin Qiong was full of envy. "It's Mr. Lu? Oh my god, she's a celebrity. Two of my favorite songs were composed by her!"

"She actually taught you! You are so lucky! I heard that the courtesan in the building wanted to ask her to teach her the art of playing the zither and offered five thousand taels, but Mr. Lu refused to go!"

Wow! Five thousand taels, just for some instruction on playing the zither!

Moreover, they refused!

"How did your mother invite Mr. Lu for you? How much money did she pay?" Lin Qiong asked curiously.

Su Zhengyang also widened his eyes. This was also what he wanted to know.

"Mother didn't pay. She said Mr. Lu is a great man and he doesn't care about the money we can afford." Gu Jia said proudly, "Mother has a unique piano score, and she gave it to Mr. Lu."

Lin Qiong took a deep breath, her face showing even more envy, "That music score must be priceless! No, it should be said that it cannot be measured by money!"

"Your mother is so good to you!"

Su Zhengyang was confused.

This... this is impossible?

How could my sister have such a unique piano score?

Can she still get in touch with Mr. Lu?

"Your sister's life doesn't seem as difficult as you said?" Shen Yingshi hugged his shoulders and whispered in Su Zhengyang's ear.

He...was cheated?

My sister said that life was hard and that they suffered a lot of humiliation and oppression. Is that all false?

She said in the letter that Song Mingli was born in General Song’s mansion, was arrogant and domineering, and treated her like a maid... Are they all false?

Whose maid could produce a peerless piano score? And could she also invite a famous teacher from Kyoto to teach the maid's daughter how to play the piano?

"Yes, mother used to be very good to me. But I was stupid and I betrayed her." Gu Jia muttered, plucking the strings awkwardly, with tears on her little face.

Su Zhengyang was shocked.

She said that she betrayed her mother? Wasn't the person she was talking about her elder sister?

That is……

Su Zhengyang took a few steps forward and stared at Gu Jia, "Who is the mother you are talking about?"

Gu Jia shook her head. "My mother is dead. She was buried in the sea of ​​fire. She couldn't escape. She can't move anymore."

No, it’s not Song Mingli. Song Mingli is alive and well.

Su Zhengyang breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing whether he was relieved or disappointed.

He was so ridiculous that he actually thought that the "mother" Gu Jia was talking about was Song Mingli.

Lin Qiong waved at him, signaling him to leave quickly.

Su Zhengyang clasped his fists towards her in gratitude, and quietly left the courtyard with Shen Yingshi.
