Su Yuanwang said: "I will go to the imperial physician to ask for some better scar removal medicine after the court session tomorrow.

Madam, rest assured, I will never mention Lin'er's injury. I will just say that you accidentally scalded your hand when you were making soup for me.

As for Lin'er, don't go out from today until your injury is healed, and don't let anyone see you except us."

Su Zelin nodded and said, "Sons always listen to their fathers."

Zhou Ruoxue wiped her tears and said, "Master, you must be extremely careful about this matter. Don't let anyone notice anything."

Su Yuanwang responded: "I know my limits, and you should all be careful with your words and actions in the mansion."

When the group came out of Linfeng Courtyard, they saw Su Yao and her maids jogging towards them with nervous looks on their faces.

Su Yuanwang was in a terrible mood today, so he was displeased when he saw the flustered Su Yao, "Where are the etiquette you learned every day? You don't look like a lady at all."

Su Yao felt aggrieved, but she still explained honestly: "Father, as soon as I woke up, I heard that something happened to my eldest brother, so I hurried over to see what happened?"

Last night she was so excited thinking about the scene where Su Yue was disfigured by a snake bite that she went to bed too late, causing her to have an oversleeping head today.

What Su Yao didn't understand was that it should have happened in Qingyouyuan, so how did it become Linfengyuan? Could it be that the plan failed, and her elder brother was plotted against by Su Yue?

Thinking of this, Su Yao was flustered, but she pretended to be calm and asked, "Father, what happened to my brother?"

Su Yuanwang said unhappily, "You don't need to worry about your elder brother's affairs. He is busy preparing for the imperial examination next month. Don't bother waiting for your elder brother during this time. Go back to your own yard and stay well."

Zhou Ruoxue also advised: "Yao'er, your father is right. Your elder brother is indeed busy. You really can't disturb him during this period. Be obedient and go back obediently."

Su Yao bit her lip, a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes, but she did not dare to disobey Su Yuanwang's order, so she could only salute and say, "Yes, father."

As she turned to leave, she secretly glanced at Su Zelin's room, secretly guessing the truth of the matter.

When she returned to her own courtyard, Su Yao felt more and more that something was wrong. She called Furong: "Furong, go and find out how my brother got injured, and what's going on in Qingyouyuan. You must find out clearly."

Furong took the order and left. Su Yao paced back and forth in the room, waiting for news.

On the other side, after Nanny Yang dealt with Taohong's matter, she told Su Yue everything that happened in Linfengyuan.

Su Yue was eating a big steamed bun that had just come out of the oven, and her eyebrows curved as she listened.

"So what if they know it was me? Now, they just want me to be quiet and marry into the Duke's Mansion quickly so that I can get a big dowry. Naturally, they won't do anything to us."

Nanny Yang finally felt relieved at this moment, and said with a smile: "Our girl is indeed pregnant with something."

Su Yue smiled slightly and continued, "However, I'm afraid Su Zelin and Zhou Ruoxue won't give up, so we have to be careful.

I'm not worried about you and Ren Dong. I'm just worried about Liu Cui and Liu Xiao Mei. They don't have the ability to protect themselves, so you must pay more attention to them, Madam."

Madam Yang nodded and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I will keep an eye on them. Liu Cui and Liu Xiaomei are honest people. They don't dare to walk around in other places except the small kitchen and the room."

"Miss, my name is Shan Cha, and I have something to report to you." Just then, Shan Cha's voice was heard outside the door.

Su Yue swallowed the bun in her mouth and said, "Come in."

Shancha pushed open the door and walked into the house. She immediately noticed the coolness in the room, which made her couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

The eldest girl's room is really cool, no wonder she keeps the door closed all day. It turns out she has been using the ice basin early on. The eldest girl is different now that she has money.

Seeing Shancha staring at the ice basin, Nanny Yang frowned, cleared her throat and said unhappily, "Shancha, why are you in a daze? Don't you have something to say to the eldest lady?"

Shancha came back to her senses immediately after hearing this, and after paying her respects, she took out a tael of silver from her purse, then raised her hands and said, “Miss, Furong, who is next to the second lady, was sneaking around the gate of our Qingyou Garden just now, so I went up to see what she wanted to do.

As soon as she saw me, she took me to a secluded place to question me, and gave me one tael of silver.

Su Yue looked at Shan Cha again, then picked up another bun and took a big bite.

Liu Cui's cooking skills are really good. The buns she made are not only very delicious but also have thin skin and plenty of meat, making her want to eat another one.

Seeing this, Honeysuckle beside her hurriedly advised: "Girl, you have already eaten a bowl of porridge and a bun. If you eat more, you will be full."

Su Yue said, "I won't eat this after I finish it. Shan Cha, tell me, what does Fu Rong want to talk to you about?"

Shan Cha glanced at Su Yue secretly, and seeing that Su Yue didn't look angry, she couldn't guess what Su Yue was thinking.

"To answer the young lady's question, Furong asked me about what happened last night. But I said I slept too soundly and didn't know anything. I only knew that Taohong was gone when I woke up the next day, and the young lady was very anxious and asked the nanny to look for her everywhere."

Su Yue nodded gently and said, "You did a good job. You can keep this money yourself. I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Since you are so loyal to me, I will naturally let you taste the benefits. Madam, give Shan Cha another ten taels."

Shancha was pleasantly surprised. She had not expected such a surprise. Ten taels of silver could cover her monthly salary for several months. She quickly thanked him, "Thank you, young lady."

After Shan Cha happily left with the silver, Nanny Yang was surprised and said, "Shan Cha was a sneaky person before, why has she changed so much now?"

Su Yue said indifferently: "Madam, you don't need to care about her. She is just a fence-sitter."

It is said in the original book that except for Nanny Yang and Rendong who was wanted by Su Yao to go to Qingyou Garden, the other people are either sneaky and cunning, or spies of Zhou Ruoxue and Old Madam Su.

At this time, Liu Xiaomei came over and said, "Miss, there is no more saltpeter."

Su Yue was stunned. "The saltpeter is gone so quickly? It doesn't matter. Uncle Liu will bring more today. Here, take this bun and eat it. After you finish eating, go back to your room and rest. If it's too hot, you can take an ice basin back."

Honeysuckle refused, "No, girl, we can't use this ice."

Nanny Yang also nodded: "Rosewood is right. As slaves, we are not allowed to use the girl's things."

Su Yue smiled and said, "This ice is made to cool you down. Since you chose to follow me, I can't treat you unfairly. It's just some ice cubes, don't worry, it's okay to use it. If you feel hot, you can use the ice basin. Just keep it out of your sight."

After hearing Su Yue's words, everyone felt warm in their hearts.

Honeysuckle said gratefully: "The young lady is so kind to us. We will do our best to serve her."
