C112 (2/2)
Su Li thought for a while, ”Put it on.”
Once the veil of the same tint was covered, only a pair of bright black eyes could be seen.
With the aid of his slanted bangs, half of his forehead was covered in black spots. Su Li looked at his reflection in the copper mirror and saw that he was actually beautiful.
”Alright, time to greet grandma.”
”Yes.”
Su Li did not even need to eat breakfast. Carrying the two maidservants, he directly went to the Old Mistress' Northern Courtyard.
When they arrived, they coincidentally saw Su Nianyu, who had just finished greeting them and was walking out.
There was a long sword hanging from his waist, his sword-like eyebrows were raised, his eyes were lowered and his posture was proud.
Seeing Su Li, Su Nianyu was obviously stunned, ”Why are you in the Palace?”
He was a lieutenant of the Imperial Guard, and as the son of the crown prince's faction, naturally, he had to join in on the battle.
Zuo Mansion had always believed that the fire had something to do with Su Li. He had originally planned to look for Su Li once he had settled down, but he never thought that Su Li would appear in his manor!
”Second Sister went to treat me yesterday, he said that Crown Prince would come to the manor for lunch today, I originally rejected him, but I was afraid that Grandmother would be disappointed, so I returned home last night at night. If there are no other orders, I will also go in and pay my respects to Grandmother. ”
”Halt.” Su Nianyu's expression changed, he immediately extended his hand to grab at Su Li's wrist, ”A little slut who was trampled on, who allowed you to return home?”
The corner of Su Li's lips that was hidden under her veil twitched, and while sneering, he avoided Su Nianyu's hand, ”Your position is also at the fifth rank, yet you dare to act so recklessly, aren't you afraid that I'll go to the Supreme Court to seek justice?”
”As a woman, it's one thing for you to show your face outside, but you're also relying on those to make you a female official. You still have the nerve to show off?”
”Father relied on my mother's death to obtain the position of great general. You relied on father to become a famous general of Imperial Guard.
”You …” Su Nianyu choked in anger, he placed his right hand on the sword sheath, and acted as though he was going to pull it out.
The two servant girls were so scared that their faces turned pale, but they stood bravely in front of Su Li.
”What is Eldest Young Master trying to do?” Ma mama appeared just in time and called out to Su Nianyu.
Although Ma mama was only a servant, she had been serving the old lady since she was young. Su Nianyu still dreaded her.
Immediately, he retracted his hand, and looked at Su Li fiercely, and said: ”No matter what your origin is, Su Li, I will not let you get away with it.”
As long as Su Li lived, the world would prop him on his back and say that everything that he had obtained now was the result of the death of Su Li's mother.
How could someone as arrogant as him endure such criticism?
Su Li did not make a sound, watching as Su Nianyu left, then nodded to Ma mama, ”I am here to pay respects to Grandmother, are you late?”
”Fourth Miss has thought about it. It won't be too late.” After Senior Ma said that with a smile, she retreated to the side, indicating for Su Li to go in first.
When Su Li walked into the room, the old lady was sitting in the seat of honor, chatting with Su Qianyan.
She bowed and greeted the original owner as per his memories.
The Old Mistress immediately stopped talking and waved at Su Li, ”I thought you really don't want to go back to your residence. It's good that you're back, quickly come to Grandmother's place.”
Su Li walked over step by step, and by his side, Su Qianyan's face suddenly froze. The ten fingers inside his sleeves clenched into a fist, but returned back to normal after a moment, and smiled sweetly at Su Li.
”It's good that Fourth Sister is willing to come back. Look at Grandmother, just now, I was still feeling sad because Fourth Sister isn't willing to come back, so I'm happy about this meeting.”
Su Li sat at the other side of the old lady, before she could say anything, the old lady had already grabbed her hands, ”This looks really good, don't worry, your grandmother asked someone to find a cure for your face, I will definitely find a way.”
”Thank you, Grandmother.” Su Li replied while pretending to be happy.
Su Qianyan glanced at the figure outside the door, raised his voice, and joked, ”With Fourth Sister dressing like this, even I am about to be charmed, Crown Prince will definitely like it too...”
