Chapter 243 Mixed Feelings
After some back and forth refusals, Su Yue finally accepted only some insignificant gifts. She said she would never accept the gold ingots.
If you accept something that is too valuable, you may get into trouble.
Finally, the woman told Su Yue the old lady’s room and said expectantly: “I hope Miss Su Yue can visit the old lady when she is free.”
Su Yue could only agree to it for now, but she thought in her heart that it was not her decision whether to go or not. If she really went, people might think that she was asking for repayment, and she would not be able to explain herself then.
Shen Yunyan and the others were chatting on the side and had no idea that Su Yue had saved people.
After the woman left, they looked at Su Yue curiously, their eyes full of confusion and curiosity.
Seeing their expressions, Su Yue smiled helplessly and briefly recounted the story of how she rescued people yesterday.
She spoke lightly, as if it were just a trivial matter.
After listening to this, Shen Yunyan and the others nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.
After all, in their opinion, Su Yue is a kind-hearted person, so it is reasonable for him to help others.
On the other side, Xiaofan and Liu Yixiao hid almost at the same time when the woman came.
Their movements were lightning fast and surprisingly unified.
After the two hid, they looked at each other, but neither asked the other why they were hiding.
Liu Yixiao was very simple. He could tell at a glance that the badge on the woman's waist indicated that she was a court official.
Since he is now a wanted criminal, he naturally dare not show his face easily to avoid unnecessary trouble.
As for Xiao Fan, he just pursed his lips, with no expression on his face, and his eyes were deep and unreadable.
No one knows what he is thinking. Perhaps he has his own unknown concerns, or perhaps he simply does not want to be involved with people in the court.
The woman hurried back to the old woman's room, bowed respectfully, and said, "Grand Madam... Madam, the woman's name is Su Yue. She has passed the imperial examination and is now heading to Kyoto to participate in this year's imperial examination."
The old lady nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "Oh? It seems that he is not a simple person."
Her eyes fell on the returned items the woman had brought back, and she narrowed her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Confiscated?"
The woman nodded quickly and responded, "To the old lady, she only accepted some gifts and returned all the gold ingots.
He speaks very carefully, with a neither humble nor arrogant attitude, and handles things with ease, but he doesn't seem like the kind of person who is good at intrigue and deception.
It seems like he doesn't want to have anything to do with us, but I don't know if that's really the case."
The old lady slowly turned the Buddhist beads in her hand and said after a moment of silence: "Can you reveal my information to her?"
The woman nodded again and replied, "Yes, old lady, I have done as you instructed."
The old lady closed her eyes, leaned back in her chair, and said slowly, "It depends on whether she will come. If she comes, we can see some of her thoughts; if she doesn't come, it will be interesting."
The room was silent for a moment, with only the gentle sound of the Buddhist beads turning in the old lady's hands, as if every sound contained a hidden meaning, making it difficult to guess what she was really thinking, showing her shrewdness.
After lunch, Su Yue felt sleepy again. She yawned lazily and said to everyone, "Go back to your rooms and rest. I want to sleep for a while too."
One by one, they looked at Su Yue eagerly, their eyes full of expectation and reluctance, sitting there motionless.
Su Yue shook her head helplessly, thinking to herself: "Why do I feel like I'm taking care of a child? They're such a worrying bunch."
She said unhappily, "If you don't want to sleep, go back to your room and play cards, or even mahjong!"
After hearing this, several people shook their heads in unison.
Su Yue looked at them with confusion, wondering what these people were thinking.
At this time, Shangguan Haochen was pushed out by the crowd again. He immediately changed into a flattering look and couldn't wait to push away Shen Yunyan who was sitting next to Su Yue.
Shen Yunyan was not annoyed, he just smiled and gave up his seat to him.
After all, among them, only Shangguan Haochen dared to be so presumptuous.
Su Yue looked at Shangguan Haochen and smiled ingratiatingly, showing his eight white teeth. He looked like a big golden retriever showing goodwill to his owner, which was really impossible to refuse.
"Sister, we found that many things are fun when we play with you, but not when we play alone."
She sighed and looked at them helplessly: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Shangguan Haochen seemed to have received permission and excitedly pointed at Liu Yixiao: "Sister, I told him yesterday that you can tell many interesting stories, but he didn't believe me. I said I must let him see them today. Look, I'm waiting for you to show off your skills, sister!"
When Su Yue heard this, she immediately understood that it must be Shangguan Haochen who was showing off, but Liu Yixiao didn't believe it, and now Shangguan Haochen was eager to prove it.
Su Yue rolled her eyes at Shangguan Haochen in anger, but Shangguan Haochen knew he was in the wrong and hugged Su Yue's arm like a child, rubbing against her, muttering, "Sister, sister, just agree."
Su Yue was pestered by him and said after thinking for a while: "Then wait until I wake up and talk to me. I am really sleepy now and can hardly open my eyes."
After hearing Su Yue's promise, Shangguan Haochen finally calmed down, and the others stopped asking for more.
They all knew their limits and understood that everything had to be based on Su Yue's words.
As long as Su Yue is willing, everyone will be happy; if Su Yue is unwilling, they will also be obedient and will not dare to disobey in the slightest.
Su Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them disperse.
She gently took off Mu Feng's coat, and they lay down side by side.
Su Yue turned sideways, gently caressing Mu Feng's bulging belly, muttering to herself, "Achen alone is already noisy enough, and now with Liu Yixiao added to the mix, the days ahead are going to be incredibly lively."
Mu Feng heard this and kissed Su Yue on the cheek: "If Yue'er doesn't want to, you can refuse. There's no need to force yourself."
Su Yue shook her head and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, let them do what they like.
Although they are noisy, they know their limits and won't be relentless, which is a good thing. And boring days pass by like this, which also adds a bit of fun."
Mu Feng heard what Su Yue said, but didn't say anything. He just hugged Su Yue tighter.
He felt mixed emotions and his thoughts were in a mess.
He thought that Su Yue was so beautiful, kind, and intelligent. When she arrived in the capital and became successful, he didn't know how many people would miss her.
When he thought of this, his brows frowned unconsciously and a feeling of uneasiness surged in his heart.
