As for Mao Tuan, although he was two months younger than the little girl, he walked more steadily than her, and no matter how Su Yi tempted him, he never bowed for a piece of cake. He always walked slowly with his small square steps, looking like an old man.
Su Yi felt that he did not have the innocence of a child at all, but other people in the palace, the Empress Dowager in the palace, and even the Emperor all praised him, saying that he was calm and steady at such a young age, and not arrogant or impatient, which was very rare.
Su Yi thought that their filters were too thick.
Someone reported that Mrs. Liu was visiting. Su Yi asked to invite her directly to the garden.
In recent years, as Su Yi became Princess Rui and gave birth to the little prince, her status has been consolidated, and life in her natal family, the Duke Anguo Mansion, has been getting better and better. Even Mrs. Liu seems to be much more relaxed and happier than in previous years.
“The little prince seems to have grown a lot taller.” Mrs. Liu said as soon as she sat down.
Su Yi asked the wet nurse to bring the child over to his aunt and asked her casually, “Sister-in-law, why do you have time to come to see me today?”
At that time, the two young masters of the Duke An Mansion were sent out of the capital to study with their grandfather. The older one is now old enough to get married, and Mrs. Liu is now busy because of this.
Mao Tuan came to pay his respects to Mrs. Liu, who hurriedly said she didn’t dare and continued to praise him until the wet nurse took him away.
Then, she said to Su Yi, “It was your brother who heard some news from outside and urged me to come to the palace quickly, saying that he wanted to make you happy.”
Su Yi smiled and asked, “What made my brother so happy?”
Mrs. Liu said angrily, “You don’t know his personality yet. He is like a child, showing his emotions on his face. I don’t know where he heard that Second Master Shen was reported for drunkenness and was accused of something. He is now in the mansion to reflect on his mistakes. He may not even be able to keep his official position.”
Su Yi found it funny. She had long forgotten about Second Master Shen and would not even think about him. But Master Su was still brooding over him and was so happy to see others in trouble.
Mrs. Liu shook her head helplessly and smiled, “You don’t know, when Sun Shuli was demoted out of the capital, your brother even drank to celebrate.”
As she said this, she also felt a little emotional.
Just two or three years ago, the Sun and Shen families were both prosperous, but the Su family was declining day by day.
Who could have thought that they would be in such a situation today?
The two treacherous people ended up in such a situation, which was retribution.
“It’s just a pity for the girls of the Shen family. I heard that the Third Young Lady of the Shen family’s Eldest Madam has a good appearance and was originally promised to a good family. Now that this has happened, the marriage can’t be completed.” Mrs. Liu said regretfully.
This reminded Su Yi of someone, “How about the second girl of the Shen family?”
“The Second Young Lady?”
Mrs. Liu didn’t react for a moment and was stunned for a while before saying: “Oh, it’s Second Master Shen’s… That’s right, she is the second child, so she should be the first to get married. How come the Third Young Lady is about to get engaged, but the Second Young Lady is like a transparent person, with no news at all?”
Su Yi said, “Her biological mother is just a concubine raised by a family-born child. Probably no one will take care of her.”
Mrs. Liu observed her expression and saw that she was not at all strange when she mentioned Second Master Shen’s concubine and the concubine’s daughter.
Knowing that she had long since stopped taking those things to heart, she said with confidence: “She must be quite old. Alas… Second Master Shen is really irresponsible and doesn’t fulfill his duties as a father. Now there is something like this. Which good family is willing to propose marriage? In the end, when men are bastards, women suffer.”
After Mrs. Liu left, Su Yi called Mao Tuan over.
She had just calculated that it had been three years since she came to this world.
According to the progress of the original novel, the Su family should have almost collapsed by now, and Miss Su would have passed away.
She remembered that Mao Tuan once said that the heroine met the hero because she secretly went outside the city to burn paper money for Miss Su.
Now she, Miss Su, is alive and well, so would the hero and heroine not meet?
