Liang Mingyu raised her brows. At least she knew her own limitations and was aware that she wasn't fit to call her cousin.
She smiled. "Sister, you can just call me Yu'er."
She took a step forward and looked curiously at the tray in Cui Yan's hands. She asked, "Sister, what are you holding?"
Cui Yan said, "Miss, this is Luohan Snow Pear Tea. Guye's cough seemed quite serious yesterday. Miss was worried, so she got out of bed early in the morning and personally brewed the Luohan Snow Pear Tea. I hope it will be of help to Guye."
The Luohan fruit had the effect of nourishing the lungs and stopping coughs. The pear could also be used to achieve the same results. If the two were boiled together and consumed, one's lungs could be nourished and also have a relief from the coughing.
Yesterday, Shen Juncheng's cough had broken out twice in a row and he had fainted again. Su Anan had sent Mrs Liu off early in the morning and thought that she should come over to take a look.
It was one thing for people to not like her, but it was also another thing to show her face. So, she asked Cui Yan to boil the tea to show her concern.
When Liang Mingyu heard that the tea was personally brewed, she instantly felt that she was trying to please her for no reason. She must be up to no good. Could she have poisoned her cousin's tea?
She said, "Elder Sister is so considerate. However, Cousin must be talking to Father at this time. Even if Elder Sister goes over, you will still have to wait. Why don't you talk to Yu'er for a while? Let the servant girl send this tea over."
After she finished speaking, she motioned for Yue Luo to go forward and receive it.
Su Anan saw the suspicion in her eyes for a moment. Well, she was Mrs Liu's relative. No matter how she explained, it would be useless.
If this soup was given to her, it would not be able to reach Shen Juncheng.
Although she knew that it would be a waste to send it over, she still had to go through the process. Otherwise, no one would know that Cui Yan had been waiting for an hour.
She smiled."It's fine. I'll send it over personally some other time. After all, I still want to see how my husband is doing. I'm a little worried because I couldn't meet him."
Husband!
Liang Mingyu felt that the word 'husband' was ear-piercing. Fine, you can give it to him.
She glanced at the white soup bowl and snorted to herself. So what if she sends it over? Cousin would definitely not drink it.
She revealed a harmless smile and said, "In that case, I'll send you off later. I feel like I've hit it off with you at first sight. Let's have a chat."
Hit it off at first sight?
Su Anan didn't agree with her. They chatted for a while. Although she seemed to be friendly, she could sense that she didn't like her.
Fine. Since it was nothing major, they could have a chat.
The two of them sat in the Raindrop Pavilion.
The maidservants served tea and melon seeds. Liang Mingyu pulled her aside and chatted happily.
To be exact, she was the only one chatting happily, and Su Anan only listened.
She spent most of her time talking about Shen Juncheng, about how he had an illness when he was young, and how she had accompanied him every year when he was recuperating in the countryside.
The two of them could be considered childhood sweethearts who grew up together and had a deep relationship.
The meaning behind her words was crystal clear.
Cousin values me and dotes on me. Who the hell are you? You'd better be aware of your identity and stop jumping around.
Her tone unconsciously rose, with an arrogance that could not be concealed.
Su Anan curled her lips. She knew it. The reason why she wanted to talk with her so badly was just to show off.
'Sigh, you can show off as much as you want. I don't care how good your relationship is. I'm not jealous. If you can get Shen Juncheng to accept you, I'll raise both my hands in approval.'
Liang Mingyu spoke for a long time, but the other party just looked calm and even smiled."Yu'er, you must be thirsty after talking so much. Come, have a cup of tea."
Liang Mingyu was speechless.
It was like punching on cotton.
She stopped talking and sipped her tea quietly. From the corner of her eye, she saw Su Anan taking a sip of her tea too. The beauty was so elegant and graceful that she was really pleasing to the eye.
Unfortunately, when she met someone more beautiful than herself, Liang Mingyu only felt that her beauty was eye-piercing and painful to see.
Suddenly, she smiled and praised, "Everyone says that you are the most beautiful woman in Luo City. I can see that you really live up to your reputation. You really are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Even more beautiful than the performers on the stage."
Su Anan stopped drinking her tea.
The little girl's face was pure and innocent, but her words directly compared her to an actress.
Was he insulting her lowly status?
Instead of getting angry, she smiled and said, "Really? Yu 'er isn't bad either. You are lively and cute, and you have a crisp voice. You are even better than Ningzhi from Yuefang Pavilion."
Yuefang Pavilion's Ningyi was a singer.
In Luo city, everyone knew how sweet and melodious Ningzhi's voice was.
Liang Mingyu's face instantly darkened. This woman actually dared to compare her to a low-class singer.
How hateful!
Yue Luo saw that the atmosphere was not right and quickly interrupted, "Furen, I think Young Master and Uncle should have already finished their discussion. If you don't send your tea, I'm afraid it will get cold."
Liang Mingyu rolled her eyes, suppressed her impatience, and put on a fake smile. She went up toSsu Anan and took her hand affectionately."If Yue Luo hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten that you're here to serve tea. Go on then, Yu'er won't hold you up any longer."
Su Anan felt a chill on the back of her hand. She never expected a young girl's hand to be so cold.
She wasn't used to such intimate actions. Perhaps it was because of Su Pingping's influence, but she always held her hand affectionately like this. However, in her heart, she was only thinking about scheming against her.
She lowered her head to take a look, then pretended to brush her hand away and left with a smile.
Liang Mingyu looked at her back, a hint of slyness flashing through her eyes.
Let's see how you'll suffer tonight.
After walking out of the Raindrop Pavilion, Cui Yan said angrily,"That miss Yu'er has gone a little too far."
She looked so innocent and pure that she did not expect her to compare Miss to an actress, although Miss had never offended her.
Su Anan said indifferently, "Who said I didn't offend her? I actually did."
The first thing Yu 'er called her was 'Sister' instead of 'Cousin-in-law'. After that, she started showing off. How could Su Anan not understand that this girl was probably in love with Shen Juncheng?
Putting aside her status, just the fact that she was married to Shen Juncheng was enough to offend her.
"Let's go. Don't think too much. She only comes here once in a while anyway. Just avoid her in the future." Su Anan didn't take it to heart. She didn't think much of it.
Since the Young Lady was not angry, Cui Yan did not say anything more. The master and servant pair went to the Qingjing Pavilion.
When she reached the door, she was stopped by Chao Sheng, saying that the Young Master was still talking with his uncle and should not be disturbed.
Su Anan looked at the sky. It was already noon.
It seemed that the talk was a lie, and the absence was real.
Forget it, it was just a process. It was the first day of marriage, so it wasn't good to be too cold. It was fine as long as the intention was there.
She left the cup of tea behind and asked about her husband's health, then left quietly.
Liang Guangwen and Shen Juncheng, who were in the dark, looked at the departing figure and retracted their gazes.
Liang Guangwen said, "She appears to be obedient, but has a sharp tongue. Her thoughts... Those are even more difficult to tell."
What happened in the Raindrop Pavilion had already spread to Qing Jing Xuan. Mingyu'er was not willing to suffer any losses.
Shen Juncheng replied indifferently, "It doesn't matter. Whether she's obedient, sharp-tongued, or harboring evil intentions, Cheng'er will get rid of her if she doesn't know her place."
