"Dad, Mom, I’d like to move in with the Liu Family," Qiu Yue said firmly. "In this way, I can be by your side every day, help with chores, and manage the family business. Wouldn’t that be better?"
"You want to live at ho?"
"Yes!" Su ngyao affird with a nod.
"This... Your father and I will have to think about it. After all, the Liu Family is a large clan, and your father is not the only young master of the Liu Family!" Mother Liu hesitated for a mont before speaking.
Upon hearing this, Su ngyao’s expression imdiately turned to one of disappointnt.
"Little sister, don’t be sad. Although the Liu Family is a large clan, it pales in comparison to the royal mansion. Besides, Liu Junjie is their only male heir, and he is not favored. Previously, most of the family’s business was managed by the madam!" Liu Junfeng comforted her.
"Big sister makes sense!" Su ngyao nodded in agreent.
"Alright then!" Father Su pondered for a while and finally agreed to Su ngyao’s suggestion. "Let discuss it with your mother, and in a couple of days, we’ll confirm with you!"
"Mhm!" Su ngyao nodded, smiling.
...
The next morning, when Su ngyao woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
"Eh, how co I’ve slept till now and still haven’t woken up? Did I not sleep well last night?" Su ngyao frowned, muttering to herself.
"Mom, Mom!" Su ngyao called out.
"Yao Yao, what’s wrong?" Mother Su erged from the kitchen, carrying breakfast with a cheerful smile.
Su ngyao walked over and took the breakfast. "Mom, I’m hungry. What did you make for breakfast?"
"Oh, it’s all made by Mommy. Co and sit down to eat!" Mother Su said.
"Mhm!"
Su ngyao sat down and started eating with her chopsticks, consuming the food heartily.
After finishing her al, Su ngyao stood up and headed to her boudoir. She needed to freshen up.
After she changed her clothes, applied her makeup, and combed her hair, she was ready to leave when there was a knock at the door.
"Co in!"
The door slowly opened, and Su ngyao saw Su ngyao standing outside, her eyes instantly welling up with tears.
"Big sister... wuwuwu... Big sister..." Su ngyao burst into tears.
Seeing Su ngyao like this, Su ngyao couldn’t help but cry as well. "Silly girl, why are you crying? Co sit down. We sisters haven’t seen each other for so long. Let’s have a good chat!"
"Mhm!" Su ngyao wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes.
Sitting at the table, Su ngyao asked, "Big sister, did you call here for sothing today?"
"Yao Yao, I know you have suffered these years, but you have to believe that as long as the two of us are together, there will co a day when I’ll help you get your revenge!" Su ngyao clenched her fist, her eyes filled with determination as she spoke.
"Big sister, you..." Su ngyao looked up in shock.
"Big sister, are you really willing to help take revenge?" Su ngyao asked excitedly.
"Of course, how could I possibly lie to you?" Su ngyao nodded.
"That’s wonderful! I’ve been waiting for this day for a long ti. If it weren’t for you, I might be dead by now!" Su ngyao said, touched.
Su ngyao grasped Su ngyao’s hand, expressing her gratitude. "Big sister, thank you. Without you, I might not even have the courage to live on!"
"Big sister, thank you!"
...
After Mother Su made breakfast in the kitchen, she ca out to the courtyard and saw Su ngyao sitting at the table in deep thought. She asked, "Yao Yao, what are you thinking about? Are you concerned about sothing?"
"Mom, how did you know I’m worried?" Su ngyao looked at Mother Su, puzzled.
"Your eyes are red and swollen, and you have dark circles. It’s clear that you didn’t rest well last night!"
"Mom, I’ve been thinking about big sister!"
"Yao Yao, how is the second miss doing?" Mother Su asked with concern.
"Big sister got married to the son of a wealthy family, and I also heard that they have an heir who is 15 years old and is already a martial master!" Su ngyao replied truthfully.
"I see!" Mother Su nodded.
"Mom, don’t you find it strange? How did big sister get married all of a sudden?" Su ngyao asked, puzzled.
"You’re right!" Mother Su nodded.
"Mother, there must be a reason. I suspect my second sister’s marriage is a sham!" Su ngyao said.
"A sham? How could that be? There can’t be any mistake with that. If you really want to know the reason, go ask your second sister herself!" Mother Su said.
"Oh!" Su ngyao acknowledged.
"Alright, after we finish eating, I will take you to see your second sister!" Mother Su said.
"Yes, I understand!" Su ngyao smiled and replied.
"Now, go get ready, it’s almost ti for school!" Mother Su urged.
"Yes!"
...
"Mother, the second sister is here!" Father Liu called out.
"Oh!" Mother Su replied, quickly welcoming Su ngyao into the house.
"Mother, let look at your injury!" Su ngyao said.
"Alright!"
Su ngyao carefully examined Mother Su’s arm. "Mother, what happened to your arm? Did you fall again yesterday?"
"Ah!" Mother Su cried out in pain. "There’s nothing to worry about, my child!"
"Mother, please don’t hide it from . Your wound is still bleeding. Tell what happened?" Su ngyao asked urgently.
With a helpless sigh, Mother Su said, "This is what happened: after you left yesterday, when I was picking vegetables in the garden, a few horses rushed at as if they had gone mad. Luckily, I dodged in ti to avoid an accident, but my arm was injured in that mishap, and now, it has scabbed over!"
"So that’s what happened!" Su ngyao fell silent for a mont before asking, "And what about my second sister?"
"Yao Yao, don’t take it too much to heart. Your second sister, well... never mind," Mother Su stopped mid-sentence.
Seeing Mother Su like this, Su ngyao understood her thoughts and comfortingly patted her hand, "Mother, don’t worry, I won’t give up!"
"That’s good to hear!"
"Mother, I’m a bit tired. I’ll go rest now. We still have to go to the city later," Su ngyao said.
"Alright, go ahead. Just rember, don’t let your second sister find out that you’ve t with your elder sister!"
"Yes!"
...
Su ngyao returned to her room and lay on her bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Mother Su was right, one of them had to back out between the second sister and the younger, or given the second sister’s temperant, she would never let things go and would surely seek revenge. Therefore, she had to stop her second sister and prevent her from causing more trouble for the elder sister.
"Second sister, second sister! Wake up! You can’t continue to be like this!" Su ngyao murmured to herself.
"Miss, you’re awake!" Qiu Yue ca in.
"Yes!"
"Let help you get dressed. We need to pay respects to the lady soon!"
"Alright!" Su ngyao responded, getting out of bed to get dressed.
"Miss, I will go get so warm water for you!" Qiu Yue offered.
"Alright!" Su ngyao said.
A mont later, Qiu Yue ca in with a steaming hot basin, soaked a towel in the warm water, and helped Su ngyao wash her face.
"Miss, we have a new dress to make today. Which one would you like to wear?" Qiu Yue asked.
"I don’t know, any will do!"
"Alright, Miss, I will choose a suitable outfit for you!"
A mont later, Qiu Yue had selected a dress for Su ngyao. After trying it on, Su ngyao nodded in satisfaction.
"Miss, you should go freshen up. I’ll bring so water for you to wash," Qiu Yue said.
"Alright!" Su ngyao replied, turning to walk towards the cleaning room.
After Su ngyao had freshened up, Mother Su had already brought a bowl of porridge and placed it on the table.
