Chapter 74 The maid’s actions

 Chaohua Xiaozhu.

Su Leyun applied the antidote he had made previously to his face. He only waited for a moment before the antidote took effect.

Looking at the red rash on Su Leyun's face that was gradually fading, Grandma Zhang became a little nervous: "Miss, the effect of this medicine works so quickly, will there be any side effects?"

“Don’t worry, mama, I made some adjustments to the original antidote and removed some excess impurities, so the effect will be better than before.”

Most of the red rash on his face has faded away. Su Leyun did not continue to apply it, but put on the veil again.

 In the bronze mirror, the lotus heart comes in from outside the house.

 “How is Hongye’s injury?”

“Miss, my servant has already given Hongye medicine, and asked the nun in charge to pay more attention to her condition. As long as she doesn’t have a fever tonight, she’ll be fine.”

Su Leyun nodded, "I didn't think carefully about this matter. Where did that veil come from?"

“Hongye said that she sneaked into the small warehouse one night to check on the condition of the facial creams and accidentally lost the handkerchief, but she went to look for it later and couldn’t find it. She didn’t know why it appeared in the small warehouse.”

 “Does she remember when it was?”

“It’s the days after the Plum Blossom Banquet.”

In those days, Han Zheng stayed in Chaohua Xiaozhu...

Thinking of this person, Su Leyun shook his head suspiciously. If he did this, what was his purpose?

  She couldn't figure it out at the moment, and she didn't think about it. In two days' time, Mrs. Li's birthday party would be held, and the most important thing at hand was that she had to finish the embroidery before then.

 At night.

 There was a knock on the door.

Xue Huan shuddered and saw the figure on the door and window.

She stood up in panic and leaned against the door.

"it's me."

“Yuyao! Did the eldest lady ask you to save me?”

Xue Huan's voice was trembling, the room was cold and damp, and she didn't even have a single piece of clothing to keep out the cold.

The lock on the door was still hanging. Yuyao pushed open a small gap and threw a small porcelain bottle in.

“The eldest lady asked me to bring you flowers. If you are sensible, the eldest lady will take good care of your family for you.”

 “Yuyao! Don’t leave!”

Seeing the figure disappear, Xue Huan slammed on the door frame, but it had no effect.

She leaned against the door frame and slid down, her eyes scanning the small porcelain bottle.

There was only one brown pill in the porcelain bottle. Xue Huan stretched out her hand and poured out the brown pill. After a moment, she raised her head and swallowed it.

 Early the next morning.

Lian Xin hurriedly entered the room and said, "Miss, Xuehuan committed suicide."

Su Leyun paused slightly with the needlework in his hand. He didn't feel surprised, but felt that it should be like this.

She is well aware of Su Waner's cruelty. She must know that even if the nanny who has been with Su Waner for many years has a negative impact on Su Waner, Su Waner will get rid of her without mercy.

 “How are the red leaves doing?”

Su Leyun didn't ask anything about Xuehuan. Since the person was dead, it was useless to ask more questions.

Lian Xin’s tone was somewhat relaxed: “Hongye didn’t have a fever last night. Once the injury heals, he should be fine.”

“Well, as for the rest of the matter, my mother and brother will make arrangements.”

After Su Leyun finished speaking, his mind returned to embroidery.

Until the eve of Mrs. Li’s birthday party, Su Leyun was still busy.

 “Miss, it’s time for you to rest.”

Lian Xin looked at Su Leyun's red eyes and felt worried.

Su Leyun waved his hand and said, "There is still one last thing to do. If you are tired, go and rest first."

“I’m not tired, I’d better wait for you.”

Seeing this, Lian Xin did not try to persuade her any more, but walked under the candle and carefully cut off a section of the burned wick.

 The candle light was a little brighter.

 After a while, Su Leyun cut off the last section of thread and finally completed the embroidery.

Under the candlelight, Lian Xin’s eyes were attracted by the embroidery in Su Leyun’s hand.

“Miss, is this double-sided embroidery?”

Lian Xin looked at Su Leyun in surprise. When did the young lady learn to embroider on both sides?

 Even she has never learned it.

“It was in the book you showed me earlier. I read it for a few days and tried it randomly.”

Su Leyun arranged the embroidery and put it into the wooden box prepared earlier.

 She has no good impression of Li Mansion and the Li family for a long time.

 This kind of embroidery is not so much prepared for Mrs. Li as it is prepared for herself.

 Hope she won't be disappointed.

 The next day, at the gate of Su Mansion.

People were carrying things to the carriage. Su Wan'er leaned beside the old lady, looked around, and asked doubtfully: "Isn't Sister Yun'er here yet?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Leyun's figure appeared at the door, with the veil still on her face.

“Grandma, my granddaughter is late.”

Su Leyun quickly walked to the old lady's side. In fact, she did get up late today.

Yesterday, in order to catch up on the embroidery work, she only slept for less than two hours, and it was Grandma Zhang who woke her up.

The old lady looked at the green color under her eyes and said in a deep tone: "Let's forget it for today. In the future, we must pay attention to it. How unbecoming a daughter-in-law of the Marquis is to make herself look like someone who goes to catch a thief at night."

“Grandma taught me, and my granddaughter must remember it.”

Su Leyun responded respectfully.

“Okay, everyone, get in the car. Your father and the others must be arriving soon.”

The old lady gave the order, and everyone did not dare to hesitate and got on the carriage one after another.

A maid looked around carefully, saw that no one was paying attention and quickly got into the carriage, then got out, and then got into the carriage in front.

"got it?"

Lu Xueying asked immediately as soon as she saw Qingliu's figure.

  Qingliu took out the thing from his sleeve and said, "Second Miss, it's what you want."

It was surprisingly the embroidery prepared by Su Leyun.

Lu Xueying took out a pair of scissors from the small cabinet on the side and raised her hand to cut it off. The next second, her eyes were fixed and the movements of her hands stopped.

 She had an idea in her mind.

Li Mansion is close to the Imperial City. Starting from Su Mansion, we slowly arrived at the place for nearly two quarters of an hour.

There are many carriages parked outside the Li Mansion, all of which are people who come to celebrate their birthdays.

 “Grandma, be careful.”

Su Waner carefully helped Mrs. Su get out of the same carriage. Behind her, Su Leyun also got off the carriage.

 The carriage behind them is the sisters Lu Xueya and Lu Xueying.

The sharp-eyed housekeeper of the Li Mansion had already seen the Su family's carriage and immediately came forward with his servant.

 “Mrs. Su, please come in quickly.”

 The old lady smiled and was supported by Su Waner as she walked towards Li's Mansion.

As soon as he entered Li Mansion, he saw Li Rui walking this way. When he saw Su Wan'er, his steps were a little faster.

“Sister Wan’er, you are here.”

 “Brother Rui.”

Su Waner smiled implicitly and glanced at the old lady beside her.

The old lady was happy to see the result, and her expression was somewhat satisfied when she saw the two of them like this.

Li Rui seemed to have just seen the old lady and said quickly: "Mrs. Su, it's great that you can come. Grandma just mentioned you and asked me to take you to her yard if I see you."

 “That would be troublesome.”

Li Rui led several people from the Su family to Mrs. Li's yard.

Su Leyun was standing behind, and he unexpectedly heard Lu Xueya's voice: "Aren't you angry?"
