Earlier, when Su Yi said that she was going out, Qing Lian was busy making new clothes for her.
“Miss, you haven’t made a new dress in these years. This time when you go back, you must make a few of the latest ones and dress up well to make the Eldest Master and the Eldest Madam happy.”
Qing Xing said, “This year, those ladies all like to wear thick waistbands to make their waists look thinner. But I see that no matter how tight they are, they are not as thin as our Young Lady. When our Young Lady goes out wearing this dress, they will surely be envious.”
“Do you think the Young Lady is you?” Qing Lian spoke.
Qing Lian joked with a smile, “Our Young Lady has received so much admiration since she was a child that she has already mastered the ability to remain motionless like a mountain.”
“Oh, you are still as still as a mountain, and I am still as restless as water.”
“You are just making trouble.” Qing Lian scolded with a smile.
Su Yi’s clothes were made by the two of them. After they were done, she tried them and found that the waist was a little loose.
Qing Lian exclaimed: “I saw that the Young Lady has been eating a lot recently, so I loosened your waist by half an inch. As a result, it is now an inch wider. The Young Lady’s waist is getting thinner and thinner!”
“It’s good this way. It’s troublesome to change it again and again.” Su Yi said.
“That won’t do.” Qing Xing said.
“How can the Young Lady go out wearing clothes that don’t fit? I’m waiting to make those people jealous.”
The people in their courtyard are now eager to show off for their young lady. Because Su Yi is going to go out, they have started preparing early and can’t allow anything less than perfect.
Having held their breath for so long, even the usually steady Qing Lian had the same idea, so Su Yi had no choice but to let them do what they wanted.
On that day, several maids carried Su Yi in a sedan chair and took her out of the courtyard without letting her show her face.
The male masters of the Shen Mansion were on duty. The Old Mrs. Shen had been a vegetarian and chanted Buddhist scriptures for many years, so she didn’t care about anything. No one dared to disturb her peace with this matter.
As for the others, if the Second Madam wanted to go out, who had the right to stop her?
So, Su Yi left the house smoothly. When she got outside, she replaced the old woman who carried the sedan chair with a servant.
After the sedan chair left the alley where the side door of the Shen Mansion was located and turned into the street, the surroundings suddenly became lively.
Qing Lian, several maids, and old women followed Su Yi’s sedan chair closely, while Qing Xing stayed in the yard to look after the house.
Su Yi had lived for so long, but it was the first time to ride a sedan chair.
At first, it was very interesting to feel the bumps, but soon, she became sleepy.
Qing Lian didn’t let her lift the curtain to look outside, which made her even sleepier.
Just when she was about to fall asleep, there was a sudden commotion on the street. It seemed that some soldiers were shouting to clear the road.
Their sedan chair had to temporarily move to the side of the road to make way for someone unknown.
“What’s wrong?” Su Yi woke up and asked Qing Lian through the curtain.
Qing Lian lowered her head and said in a low voice: “I didn’t hear it clearly. It seems that King Rui has returned to the capital after suppressing bandits in the south.”
Just as she finished speaking, there came the sound of uniformed soldiers and horses’ hooves in the distance. Just by listening to the sound, there was a murderous atmosphere. An army of tigers and wolves was just like this.
When they got closer, people saw that the team with such terrifying momentum was actually only a few hundred people. They were armed with sabers and iron cavalry, wearing black armor and cloaks. Everyone’s eyes seemed to be tempered by blood. This was a real sharp-blade army.
Su Yi looked through the curtain and vaguely saw the leader. He was riding on a tall horse. He had broad shoulders and was wearing silver armor, a scimitar on his waist, and long boots on his feet. His hostility almost turned into reality.
She frowned slightly. Even though there was no basis for this and there was no similarity, why did she have a feeling for no reason that this seemed to be her dog?
She poked Mao Tuan, “Mao Tuan, is that your father?”
Mao Tuan rolled his eyes, not wanting to pay attention to her at all, and even less wanting to recognize the big fluffy as his father, even though he had called him like that in the last life…
Su Yi couldn’t help but slightly open the curtain. The King Rui had gone far away, but just his back looked domineering enough.
Su Yi thought of the demon wolf who had been rubbing against her and trying to do bad things not long ago and then looked at the cold back in front of her.
She suddenly remembered a sentence: Men are like dogs. (T/N: ML: I’m literally a dog!)
