The ancestor's courtyard is to the south of the Su Mansion. In summer, it is lined with green trees and luxuriant branches, making it look very lively.

Su wanted to help the old lady back to the yard. As soon as she sat down, the old lady pulled her to sit next to her and waved to her.

"Hongye, bring the things."

"Yes."

A charming maid in her thirties bowed and turned to go to the back room.

Hongye was the maid who stayed with the old lady for the longest time and was the most capable. She almost watched the original owner grow up and loved her very much. But later in the novel, because the old lady left, she also left and returned to the countryside.

When Hongye came over with a sandalwood box, Su Xiang saw a string of Buddhist beads and a red amulet with yellow edges after opening the box.

"I think, on the way back, I stopped by Changlin Temple to burn incense and ask for an amulet for you. I met the abbot there. This string of beads is what the abbot asked me to give you."

Su Xiang blinked as he looked at the Buddhist beads that his ancestor had put on his wrist.

"Why did you send it to me?"

"He said it was given to a destined person, and you happen to be that destined person." The ancestor was also a little confused, "In addition, Master Abbot hopes that you will also visit Changlin Temple when you have time later."

An abbot she had never met before gave him Buddhist beads and asked her to go there. It really made people curious about what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Su Xiang blinked slightly and nodded.

"I know, I will go when I have time."

The ancestors were a little surprised by her well-behavedness. In the past, the little girl might have acted coquettishly and said she didn't want to go.

Without thinking much, she handed the amulet to her.

"This is the amulet I specially asked for from my ancestors. Be sure to put it on and don't lose it."

Su wanted to take the amulet, but his mood was a little complicated, and he couldn't explain it.

This ancestor did love the original owner, but she didn't know that the original owner had disappeared, and now she was righting herself. Now can she enjoy the good things she does to herself with peace of mind?

Seeing that Su Xiang had a different look on his face, the ancestor frowned, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

She quickly shook her head, "No, I'm just too touched...Thank you, ancestor..."

The old lady relaxed now. She looked lovingly at Su Xiang, whose features looked a bit like her own son's, and patted her hand.

"Thank you and I will come and spend more time with this old man. My yard is too deserted."

Su Xiang nodded and chatted with her for a long time.

Until dinner time, Su Xiang helped his ancestor to the main room for dinner.

When her ancestor comes back tonight, she has to go and have dinner with those people.

It was quieter at the dinner table.

Only Su Xiangguo talked to his ancestor from time to time, and Aunt Liu lowered her head to serve him food. Su Wan also remained silent. Su Xiangshi occasionally served food to his ancestor, which earned him a pleased laugh.

After dinner, the moon was already above the treetops.

After everyone rinsed their mouths, Qingyun, who had been waiting at the side for a long time, arranged for his servants to give each master a cup of cool and refreshing ice tea.

Today I made lemon water with a little bay leaf, which is refreshing and not greasy, and instantly relieves the heat after eating.

The ancestors tasted this tea for the first time and were amazed.

"Yes, it won't be hot after one cup."

Su Xiangguo quickly said that this was Su Xiang's idea. The ancestor was surprised and happy at the same time. He grabbed Su Xiang's hand and couldn't help praising it.

Aunt Liu grabbed the teacup and gritted her teeth secretly.

Isn't it just a cup of tea? What's so great about it, it almost blows that girl to the sky! Her Qing'er is still suffering!

Su Wan looked at the ice tea, with a complicated light flowing in her eyes, and her heart became more and more uneasy.

She was indeed right. Su Xiang was different from before, and her changes might affect her plans...

Su wanted to put on a cute smile, but after laughing, his face became stiff. Finally, when his ancestor left, he quickly slipped away.

She has something to do tonight.

At this time, Qinghe was standing anxiously at the door of the yard and looking out. The intersection was dark and he couldn't see anything clearly.

In the afternoon, in order to gain favor with Zai Bo, she stayed in the house to serve other masters. When the second young lady came back, she realized that the second young lady looked at her with extremely cold eyes.

She was worried that she had seen it wrong. It wasn't until the second young lady asked Qingyun to tell her to stay in the yard and wait for her before she left that she realized that she might be unlucky.

The second young lady probably wants to blame herself. How can she beg for mercy?

Thinking of the times when Miss Er used to beat people with long whips, Qinghe shivered on the hot summer night and hugged herself tightly unconsciously.

After an unknown amount of time, she saw the light of a lantern flickering in front of her.

inside the house.

Su Xiang originally planned to teach Qinghe a lesson and then rush to another place to lock him up, but when she saw this pitiful girl kneeling on the ground with pear blossoms in the rain, she changed her mind.

"What a pitiable face..."

Su Xiang knelt down and touched her face, which made Qinghe tremble all over.

"Small, miss, this slave is wrong..."

Miss Mingming spoke to herself softly and did not become furious, but those eyes, as if looking at a dead thing, made her heart tremble.

"Where did you go wrong?"

Qinghe trembled even more, "Slave, I shouldn't have not informed you in time..."

"anything else?"

"And...and..." She also had second thoughts and wanted to cling to other masters, but how could she dare to say that!

Su Xiang patted Qing He's tender cheek, leaned into her ear, and whispered something, which instantly frightened her pupils, "How...how did you know..."

"How do I know that you don't have to worry about it? I need you to do something for me, and I will help you get rich..." Su Xiang raised a sly smile at the corner of his mouth and exhaled.

"!"

"Isn't that what you've always thought?"

Qinghe's pupils were wide open, her lips trembled slightly, she wanted to ask something, but she was too afraid to say anything.

In the end, she weighed it up, and her desire to climb up overwhelmed everything else. She closed her eyes and kowtowed to Su Xiang, "I agree, please help me!"

"Have you thought about it?"

"Think about it!"

"Okay... I believe you for the time being." Su thought of getting up, with ice in her eyes that could not be melted away, and told her word by word, "Remember, I hate betrayal the most. If you dare to betray, I can You will never recover."

Qinghe buried his head lower.

"The slaves dare not!"

Now that we have broken up with the protagonist and the others, preparations have to be made.

It is said that the heroine is the most beautiful person in the world. Today she can see clearly that the way Su Wan looks at her is not pure and kind.

Her sixth sense told her that Su Wan had also changed, and many of her actions were different from the heroine in the novel. Therefore, she had to prepare for a rainy day, bury a chess piece next to them, and monitor them to prevent herself from being too passive.

From the beginning, Su Xiang knew Qinghe's ambition, and she wanted to use this ambition to find a way out for herself.

It's okay if the heroine and the others don't attack him. If the heroine and the others really attack him, then don't blame yourself for fighting back and giving them a big gift.

Qinghe looked up secretly, only to be frightened and lowered his head again, biting his lip.

Under the dim candlelight, the girl's expression was neither happy nor sad, but her eyes exuded a coldness.
