The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 36

Su Qingyan kept all of Xiaocui's behavior in mind, although she didn't say much. Besides, after this incident, Xiaocui won't be appearing in this yard of hers anymore. Where she'll be afterwards will have nothing to do with her. Therefore, before then, what's wrong with sending that kind of person off with a nice farewell?

After everything had settled down, the girls loudly let out their restrained laughter, especially Baizhi, who was the loudest. Seeing them playing around, Qingyan also happily smiled.

"Miss, it truly is a bad person with a bad person's face." Baizhi looked to Qingyan as she held her stomach from laughing, "I've never seen granny Ruo so worked up like that before."

Qingdai had imitated granny Ruo perfectly, and in the end, she even made herself laugh.

"Miss, I can tell, this Su manor is a ruthless place." Chishao looked to her and said, "Else how could there be servants like that?"

"Chishao, don't you know, miss used to be picked on all the time by that pathetic servant." Huangcen stood to the side and looked to Chishao, holding her arm. "Our young miss is practically the kindest."

"Miss has always been very kind." Zizhu said this as she held onto Qingyan's arm, "Am I not right miss?"

Qingyan spoke as she affectionately tapped Zizhu's nose, "Zizhu is right, I'm actually very kind, right?"

Kind only to the ones she's close to.

Kind only to the ones that were kind to her.

Kind to the point that she would do anything to protect those around her.

Since these girls think she's a good person, then she's willing to be the kind young miss in their eyes.

"Say, do you think Xiaocui will tell Chai Yiyun about me giving her that hairpin?" Qingyan lightly tapped on the table with her hand.

"Miss, that was the hairpin madam gave you. How could you just casually give it away to some servant girl." When Zizhu thought of it, she made a bitter expression.

"Naturally there's a reason for it. At least before dealing with granny Ruo, I can kick Xiaocui out of our yard first." Qingyan said with a smiled.

"Miss, how do you plan on dealing with Xiaocui?" Baizhi looked to Qingyan with her eyes widen in admiration.

"Baizhi, remember, tomorrow morning when you are brushing my hair, you need to say that hairpin is missing." When Su Qingyan thought of this, her lips curled into a grin. "Everyone here is on my side, you all should know what to say right?"

"Understood."

After Qingyan finished instructing everyone, she rested her chin on her hand and took a short nap. Even when Murong Jingxuan appeared, she didn't notice. However, when he saw that she was resting, he didn't bother her much and left after hearing the report from Fengqing.

--------------------------------

When Murong Jingxuan returned to his manor, he stood by the pond and watched the swimming fishes. He once yearned for a carefree life like them, but he knew this wasn't his decision to make, especially in this merciless imperial capital.

Some things, if not said or done, then it was simply impossible to know.

Fengshuang saw Murong Jingxuan sitting by the pavilion and walked up to his side, saying, "Master, recently some trouble has occurred at the palace."

Murong Jingxuan laid down on the bench and ate the grapes that were to the side, "What happened? That old man looking for me is never a good sign."
