Chapter 31: Burns
Both of them had tense faces, and Su Shanyun felt the smell of gunpowder from afar.
"You say, why do you and your mother come every time I come to Yan's house with my mother, and you have to do everything possible to squeeze in front of us, did you do it on purpose?" It was Zhong Xuelan's voice, aggressive.
"It's really funny what you say, Osmanthus Lane and Peacock Gate are so far apart, who is so free to stare at you? Running into each other three times and twice can only say that the road between the two of us is narrow, in fact, I don't want to see you. As for squeezing in front of you, it is even more reasonable, the road is so wide, and no one is stopping you, if you want to blame it, you will blame your short legs. Liang Meiying's voice did not back down, and she seemed to want to walk away, but her left hand was grasped by Zhong Xuelan.
Zhong Xuelan: "Do you think the Yan family will take a fancy to someone like you?" You don't want to think about what kind of people the eldest and second of the Yan family are. โ
Liang Meiying: "Then do you think people will take a fancy to you?" What kind of virtuous and virtuous lady do you have? โ
Zhong Xuelan glared at her angrily and said, "Just by virtue of my mother's friendship with Mrs. Lu, my chances of winning are better than yours, I don't believe you can wait and see." โ
Liang Meiying shook off her hand vigorously and said, "The relationship between my mother and Mrs. Lu is also very good, so let's wait and see." โ
Zhong Xuelan snorted coldly and turned around and left.
Liang Meiying turned her back to her back and said, "It's also an eye-opener for me to meet someone like you." โ
Zhong Xuelan didn't respond, and her steps became faster and faster.
Liang Meiying stopped in place and looked around.
Su Shanyun hurriedly turned sideways to avoid her gaze.
After a while, Liang Meiying also left.
Su Shanyun breathed a sigh of relief, and then put the book back in his pocket and went back to the living room.
Seeing Su Shanyun coming in, Mrs. Lu hurriedly beckoned to her: "Come, come and sit here with me." โ
Su Shanyun sat next to her obediently.
"Hungry, huh? The kitchen said that dinner would be ready soon. Mrs. Lu looked at her and asked with concern.
Su Shanyun smiled and shook her head.
"Since you're here, you can also go back with you to eat something. Today I had the kitchen make assorted baked cakes, Goubuli buns, and pot dishes. Mrs. Lu said to Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Dong.
They couldn't wait to stay in Yan's house for a while, so they naturally nodded busily.
After a while, the maids came up to make vegetables.
A table of all sizes was filled.
Since Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Dong's mother and daughter were also there, Su Shanyun and Ning Changrou didn't know where to sit.
Mrs. Lu asked them to sit on either side of her, one on the left and one on the right.
In this way, sitting on the left side of Su Shanyun is Mrs. Lu, on the right is Zhong Xuelan, and then Mrs. Dong. The Lin mother and daughter sat on Ning Changrou's side.
During the banquet, Mrs. Lu used clean chopsticks to pick up vegetables for Su Shanyun from time to time, and said with concern: "You are still growing your body, you need to eat more." โ
Su Shanyun blushed and thanked him.
Mrs. Lu saw that she was so well-behaved and cute, so she smiled and shook her hand.
Zhong Xuelan had been in a bad mood since she quarreled with Liang Meiying, and when she saw that Mrs. Lu not only let Su Shanyun sit next to her, but also intimately picked up vegetables for her and held her hand, her brows couldn't help frowning.
How could Mrs. Lu ever be so kind to herself and Liang Meiying? What is the origin of this little girl? Why does Mrs. Lu love her so much?
Could it be ......
When Zhong Xuelan thought about this, her heart became more and more panicked, and she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Su Shanyun.
Before, she only cared about talking to Mrs. Lu, and didn't pay much attention to Su Shanyun, who was silent, but now when she looked closely, she was surprised to realize that the other party looked as bright and eye-catching as the spring flower, and her demeanor was very generous and decent, and she suddenly felt like she was being compared.
"You drink more of this fish soup, it's good for your health." Mrs. Lu said softly to Su Shanyun.
Zhong Xuelan was originally a young lady who had been pampered since she was a child, but now when she saw this scene, she felt that she had been treated coldly, so she didn't get angry, and she happened to see a cup of freshly poured hot tea in front of her, so she pretended to be inattentive and pushed the cup of tea with her hand, and the cup of tea happened to be splashed on Su Shanyun's right hand impartially.
Su Shanyun instinctively 'ah', only to feel a heart-piercing pain in her entire right hand, and when she looked down, she found that the back of her entire hand was red.
Everyone immediately looked at Su Shanyun in unison.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I accidentally touched the teacup on my sleeve." Zhong Xuelan hurriedly got up and apologized.
Mrs. Lu glanced at Zhong Xuelan quickly, her eyes were like two cold lights, and Zhong Xuelan panicked, and hurriedly lowered her head slightly, not daring to meet her gaze again.
Su Shanyun only felt that the hand hurt terribly, and she already knew a little about Zhong Xuelan's character, so she said, "It's okay." โ
She didn't know much about the situation of the two families, she didn't want to start an incident lightly, and she didn't want to make it difficult for Mrs. Lu, the master.
Mrs. Lu was so distressed that tears were about to flow out.
"Go and bring a basin of cold water." Mrs. Lu hurriedly instructed the maid.
The maid was frightened, and when she was instructed, she hurried out.
The two wives and Liang Meiying also hurried forward to take a look.
"Such delicate skin is scalded by such hot water, I don't know how much it hurts." Mrs. Lin's eyes were full of pity, and there was a bit of a stirring up.
Mrs. Dong kept her mouth shut and did not speak.
Ning Changrou was also frightened, and hurriedly asked, "Do you want me to call my mother?" โ
"No, it's not a big deal." Su Shanyun hurriedly stopped her.
After the maid brought cold water and soaked her hand for a while, Su Shanyun felt less painful.
The doctor called by Mrs. Lu also arrived immediately.
The doctor prescribed Chinese medicine and personally mashed it to help her put it on the back of her hand.
"It is estimated that it will take three or four days to get rid of it, and this hand will not work for a few days, and if it hurts badly at night, put it outside the quilt and use an ice pack to pillow it." The doctor explained.
Su Shanyun nodded.
Everyone's expressions relaxed.
"It's getting dark, so go back first." Mrs. Lu said to Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Dong's mother and daughter.
The four of them took their leave.
When she was about to go out, Liang Meiying glanced back at Su Shanyun, stopped talking, and then turned around and walked out.
"Shanyun, I'll personally send you back to your aunt." Mrs. Lu said.
Su Shanyun hurriedly said, "No need, I'll just go back with my cousin." โ
"No, I'm so badly hurt, I have to give your aunt an explanation." Mrs. Lu insisted.
Su Shanyun and Ning Changrou had no choice but to nod and agree.
In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Mrs. Lu at all, but Mrs. Lu seems to be very guilty, and Su Shanyun feels a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Su couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw Mrs. Lu coming back with them, and hurriedly asked, "Why are you here?" Come in and sit. When he turned his head, he happened to see the strap on the back of Su Shanyun's hand, and was immediately surprised: "Shanyun, are you injured?" โ
"It's not a big deal, auntie, I just accidentally got burned by tea." Su Shanyun hurriedly reassured.
"That girl from the Zhong family is a little reckless with her hands and feet......," Mrs. Lu helped explain.
"It's good if it's not a big problem." Mrs. Su is not the kind of person who makes a small thing a big thing, so she held Su Shanyun's arm and said.
When Mrs. Lu was sent away, Mrs. Su's face was a little unpleasant, she asked Su Shanyun to sit in front of her, Su Shanyun saw that her eyes were red, and she knew that she was really distressed.
"Although I don't know much about Zhong Xuelan, her daughter's temper is known from far and near, although I can't say whether she did it on purpose this time, but if you see her next time, stay away from her, so as not to be bullied by her."
"Okay." Su Shanyun nodded obediently.
Mrs. Su suddenly shed tears, gently picked up Su Shanyun's right hand wrapped in a strip of cloth and said, "I don't know how much it hurts." โ
"Auntie, I'm fine, I hurt for a while just now, and now I feel much better." Su Shanyun hurriedly comforted.
Mrs. Su sighed with emotion and took her into her arms.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Ning Hao strode in.
He's out for dinner today, so he's back late. He had a letter in his hand.
