Zhou Ruoxue frowned and said seriously, "We need to think carefully about this matter. We must not act rashly. It will ruin the reputation of the Zhou and Su families, which will not be good for us."

Zhou Ruotai nodded and agreed, "My little sister is right. We must plan carefully and not lose the big picture for the sake of small gains."

Mrs. Zhou curled her lips. Although she felt unwilling in her heart, she dared not say anything more because of Zhou Ruotai's warning look.

At this time, all the maids in Songning Garden were guarding outside the house, leaving only Old Madam Su, Su Yuanwang and Nanny Zheng in the house.

After listening to Nanny Zheng's report, both Old Madam Su and Su Yuanwang seemed to be thinking about something.

Madam Su twisted her Buddhist beads with her hands, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes deep. Su Yuanwang sat beside her, tapping the table lightly with his fingers.

In fact, both the mother and the son were thinking in their hearts, if this matter was really directed and acted by the Zhou family themselves, then did Zhou Ruoxue know about it?

Madam Su coughed lightly and said slowly, "In my opinion, Ruoxue must know something or two, otherwise the Zhou family would not have dared to intervene at Yao'er's coming-of-age ceremony. How foolish!"

After saying that, a trace of anger flashed across her face, and the speed of the Buddhist beads in her hand turned faster.

Su Yuanwang frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Mother, this matter needs to be investigated in detail, and we cannot jump to conclusions."

There was a glimmer of dissatisfaction in Madam Su's eyes. They say that a man forgets his mother after he has a wife. Look, at this time, he still wants to favor Zhou Ruoxue.

"Okay, then I won't draw any conclusions. But if the Zhou family insists on killing Yue girl, what will you decide?" Old Madam Su said helplessly.

Su Yuanwang thought about what Nanny Zheng had just mentioned, that Su Yue had said herself that she wanted to get married, and she wanted to marry into a family of officials who could help the Su family. This was quite in line with his wishes.

"Mother, I don't believe that Yue girl can hurt Zhou Zhuo. Zhou Zhuo is a skilled martial artist.

Moreover, as the eldest daughter of our Su family, we cannot be held responsible just because someone makes random accusations against us. We must have evidence for everything.

If the Zhou family keeps biting like a mad dog, we can just drag it out. If the Zhou family dares to damage the reputation of our Su family, don't blame me for being ruthless and demoting his official position by one or two levels."

Su Yuanwang's expression was serious when he said this, and his tone was filled with unquestionable majesty.

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Su understood what Su Yuanwang meant. Yes, no matter how unfavored she was, she was still the eldest daughter of the Su family. How could she be the daughter-in-law of the increasingly declining Zhou family?

Madam Su nodded slightly, and the Buddhist beads in her hand gradually slowed down, "Well, no matter how they make trouble, we just need to stay out of their trap.

But the criminal still needs to be investigated. If nothing can be done, just find a scapegoat. Don't let Miss Yue suffer any more injustice.

By the way, all these bad things happened at Yaoer’s coming-of-age ceremony today, and she must be feeling very upset.

Zheng family, go pick out some good things and send them over. We got a few pieces of colorful Shu brocade yesterday. Give them all to Yaoer. That girl will definitely like them."

After receiving the order, Nanny Zheng withdrew. As she walked away, she felt quite sympathetic towards Su Yue. Although they were both legitimate granddaughters, the treatment they received was worlds apart.

……

At this time, the pitied Su Yue was in her room, staring blankly at the bowl of clear soup noodles on the table. It was really clear soup noodles, without even a trace of diced meat.

Damn, no matter what, the original owner is still a legitimate daughter. Don’t tell her that the original owner only likes to eat clear soup noodles. Su Yue suddenly doubted whether Nanny Yang treated the original owner sincerely.

Seeing Su Yue staring at the noodle soup for a long time without moving her chopsticks, Madam Yang asked in confusion, "Miss, aren't you hungry? Why don't you eat?"

Su Yue hesitated for a long time before asking, "Mammy, can we change to something else? Like dessert or bird's nest or something like that?"

Madam Yang was in a dilemma, and she replied with great sadness: "Miss, our courtyard only has two kinds of snacks: mung bean cake and osmanthus cake. You said last time that you were tired of eating them and didn't like them anymore.

As for bird's nest, when have you eaten bird's nest? We in Qingyouyuan are not favored, so naturally we don't have these good things to eat. If you want to eat them, you have to spend money to buy them."

Rendong was previously a third-class maid in charge of cleaning and washing, so she had no idea how Su Yue was treated on a daily basis.

Now, after hearing what Nanny Yang said, she was shocked and felt sorry for Su Yue.

"Isn't our daughter a legitimate daughter? Why is her treatment worse than that of a concubine's daughter?"

"As the old saying goes, if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. The girl was not born by the lady, so naturally she won't love her that much. It's enough for her to have enough food and clothes. As for other things, don't think too much.

And our girl doesn't fight or compete, and she even says why a harmonious family brings prosperity, it's just some food, eating less can keep her body slim." Madam Yang sighed and said helplessly.

Su Yue held her forehead with her hand. The book didn't describe the original owner's daily life in detail. She didn't expect it to be like this. However, the original owner was too soft-hearted.

"Miss, eat a few bites first to fill your stomach. It's almost time for dinner." Nanny Yang could only advise her.

Su Yue raised her head when she heard this and asked expectantly, "Is there any meat?"

In modern times, Su Yue usually consumes a lot of physical energy learning martial arts, so she has developed a love for meat.

Faced with a bowl of noodle soup without even a bit of shredded meat, Su Yue really didn't want to eat it.

Rendong didn't notice anything yet, but Nanny Yang had already noticed something was wrong.

Although the girl in front of me still looks the same, her way of speaking and personality have changed a lot today. She is like two completely different people.

In the past, no matter how hungry a girl was, she would never ask if there was meat, because her three meals a day basically did not vary much, always one meat, one vegetable and a soup.

When Su Yue saw Nanny Yang looking at her with a scrutinizing look, her heart tightened. After thinking about it, she decided to confess to Nanny Yang and Rendong about the space.

After all, these two people will follow me in the future. Instead of hiding the space, it is better to let them know so that they can help cover me at the critical moment.

"Honeysuckle, go and close the door."

Rendong didn't know what Su Yue was going to do, but she still went to close the door quickly. Seeing this, Nanny Yang felt a little uneasy.

As soon as the door was closed, Su Yue waved to Nanny Yang and Rendong, motioning them to come to her.

As the two approached, Su Yue spoke softly, "Mammy, Honeysuckle, no matter what you see or hear next, you must control your emotions, understand?"

Nanny Yang and Rendong looked at each other, and saw confusion and uneasiness in each other's eyes, but they still nodded solemnly.

"Okay, both of you stare at this bowl of noodle soup."

After Su Yue finished speaking, she saw that Nanny Yang and Rendong were both looking at the bowl of noodle soup on the table, so she reached out and put the bowl of noodle soup into the space.

When Ren Dong saw the bowl of noodle soup disappear in an instant, she covered her mouth in shock, her eyes widened. Oh my god, what did she see! The bowl of noodle soup disappeared out of thin air!

Yang Ma was so shocked that she stretched out her hand and felt around where the noodles were originally placed. "Oh my God! This is too magical. How could the noodles disappear in the blink of an eye? Girl, what's going on?"

Su Yue knew that this would be the reaction of the two people. She once again released the bowl of steaming noodle soup from the space. This action made Rendong and Nanny Yang couldn't help but exclaim.

Su Yue quickly made a shushing gesture, "No, both of you should keep your voices down so that people outside don't hear you."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Yang and Rendong covered their mouths and looked at Su Yueyue as if they had seen a ghost.

At this moment, Nanny Yang had a disturbing thought in her mind: the person in front of her must not be the girl she had seen grow up.

Nanny Yang asked tremblingly, "Who are you? Where is my daughter?"
