Thirteenth Lady's Comback: Her Everyday Life as a Bystander Chapter 287 - 39: Brother Hong of the Streets (First Update)

Susu achieved her main goal of visiting the military camp, naturally feeling good about it. After spending a few days with Hong Sheng and managing to get so things for her brother and the others, she happily tidied up and returned to the county upon receiving a ssenger from Aunt Qin.

Over there is her real battlefield!

Once she saw her brother, the situation was even more severe than she had imagined, but now that she was Hong Sheng’s wife, she needed to do what she had to do.

When she was in the Song Family, Susu never thought much of the First Madam and Second Madam, wasn’t it just because they enjoyed the glory and wealth of being the wives of the Song Family, yet never fulfilled their responsibilities?

She couldn’t let herself beco a person who only takes without giving.

Moreover, from the Old Madam, Susu also learned the conveniences and intricacies of "Madam Diplomacy."

Susu firmly believed in what the Old Madam said, "A wife is a man’s face and reflection; you can see so details of the man behind through the woman."

At this ti, Susu had not yet realized that her concern and focus on Hong Sheng had surpassed re affection. Perhaps she realized it but subconsciously covered it up with phrases like "Hong Sheng’s well-being is her well-being" and "a couple’s glory and misery are shared."

And watching his wife leave without a hint of reluctance, Hong Sheng felt like the little wife waiting bitterly for her good person to return, particularly miserable!

That heartless girl, use and discard; he swore not to be fooled by "making it up next ti" and let her off again, feeling sorry for himself for three seconds...

Seeing several sons of the Ruan Family sneaking glances at him, Hong Sheng really wanted to ask: What are you looking at?

But thinking of a certain possibility, Hong Sheng chickened out, let them look if they want, that’s just the way society is with , Brother Hong, handso and wealthy!

While in Hami County, watching the servants cleaning the house more ticulously, Yue Baiyou knew Susu was returning.

Yue Baiyou knew Susu definitely wouldn’t take her to the military camp, otherwise she really wouldn’t want to hassle with her; damn, it’s too much of a blow!

However, she’s not the one exerting, and she’s amused to watch the show. But first she has to beg Susu to take her to Mrs. Qin’s banquet.

So, when Susu returned, Yue Baiyou, rarely, didn’t annoy her. Instead, she greeted Susu politely and returned to her quarters.

Only after Susu rested the next day did she bring this up.

Susu now had one comnt about this girl, "Won’t get up without profit." From her being so docile yesterday, she just knew she had so ulterior motive. Never thought she’d have the nerve to target Aunt Qin’s banquet.

"Mrs. Qin invites ladies of Fifth Rank and above. I wonder what rank your brother holds?"

In the Song Family, Susu was always gentle even when angry, and of course, she rarely got angry.

But outside the mansion, she completely let herself go.

At this mont, facing the increasingly demanding Yue Baiyou, Susu smiled but her words were like knives, ensuring the conversation couldn’t continue.

Yue Baiyou’s eyes instantly reddened, making Susu exclaim that this was a professional actor!

"Does sister-in-law have to prick my heart like this? I did have rude desires and indeed offended sister-in-law before. But during the days you’ve been away, I’ve thought a lot. Brother Hong is indifferent to , forcefully twisting the lon will not make it sweet, I don’t plan to persist anymore."

Saying this, she shed tears, even ruining the makeup on her face.

Even Susu felt this girl cried rather pitifully and spoke quite sincerely, but... you’ve lost thoughts for Hong Sheng, why still harbor hostility against her?

Susu trusted her senses deeply, her Golden Finger wasn’t ordinary!

"And then..."

Yue Baiyou was dumbfounded, and then? Wasn’t it for you to agree to take to Liu Mansion?

"I really dislike when soone starts speaking but never finishes."

Yue Baiyou forced herself not to let her face contort, instead feigning a timid deanor, "Sister-in-law, I am already eighteen this year!"

"So..."

Yue Baiyou’s eye twitched, so you must take to Mrs. Qin’s banquet to find a match and marry off!

"Sister-in-law also knows, my parents passed away early, my brother is gone, now only you and Brother Hong are my family!"

Damned, if you keep speaking in three-word clusters, I’ll fight with you.

Yue Baiyou finally realized she couldn’t reach the highest level of annoyance; the real master was right before her!

Susu knew not to force soone into a corner but she really didn’t want to agree to her.

"But I recall, you refused my husband’s proposal to recognize you as a sworn sister, so we really can’t be responsible for you!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Baiyou felt she was indeed too naive; damn, it’s all a ga!

But Yue Baiyou could only grind her teeth and endure it, "At that ti, I was young, thinking my brother entrusted to Brother Hong ant that. Naturally, unwilling to beco Brother Hong’s sworn sister. But now I understand, please trust , sister-in-law."

This joke was flawless! But Susu rely smiled; does she appear easily deceived? This kind of nonsense wouldn’t fool a ghost, let alone a person, right?

However, she still didn’t know what Hong Sheng planned to do with this girl, so she could only earnestly stall, "I can’t decide who Mrs. Qin chooses to invite, but I can send soone to inquire if Mrs. Qin minds taking an extra person!"

Yue Baiyou knew this was already Susu’s concession, and even if she wasn’t taken, they had contingency plans.

Thinking this, Yue Baiyou feigned reluctance and bid farewell to Susu.

Susu felt this wasn’t over. This girl wasn’t one to give up easily, so she arranged for soone to reportedly visit Liu Mansion while actually sending Aunt Qin a calming incense she had specially formulated.

It was only that day Mrs. Sun ca and whispered, and Susu knew Aunt Qin hadn’t slept well since the Ruan Family incident.

Nothing happened in the camp really, no neighbors around, Susu didn’t like to visit them, and there were no doors to visit anyway, so it was a good ti to mix calming incense.

Agarwood calms the mind, just as Susu had the finest "Yellowbird Green" Agarwood in hand.

The material was sent to Jinyinman Tang for carving, and out ca an eighteen-bead bracelet, two small pendants the size of fingertips, two rings, four or five fortune beads, and the master engraver even carved so small Peace Pendants with smaller fragnts.

The leftover chips were too broken to use otherwise, so they naturally went into the incense.

The bracelet was already gifted to the Old Madam, so she matched the fortune beads and Peace Pendant with a small pendant to make a bracelet, and combined it with the calming incense to give Aunt Qin!

Susu herself wore a "Yellowbird Green" ring, the narrow ring face embossed with a plum blossom, and even the sparrow smaller than a rice grain was vividly crafted. This was mastery she couldn’t achieve.

Susu sent soone to Liu Mansion, and also secretly inquired with Hong Sheng at the camp. She genuinely felt this Miss Yue didn’t resemble a pitiable orphan living with her brother!

Also, chasing Hong Sheng for two years, then suddenly giving up, your affection is way too cheap!

Feeling sorry for Hong Sheng for three seconds...
