  Chapter 46: Uncertain Weather

  Su Ying considered her husband as heaven. Since Fu Yeyang had spoken and told her not to go, Su Ying didn't bother with this rotten business anymore.

  Lü Huì and Bǐ Mǐnruì's keen perception came from the mistress's mood which wasn't good, it was not suitable to go forward and persuade her, the lamp in the main hall had been lit all night, Sū Yǐng lay on the bed tossing and turning for a while before falling asleep, Lü Huì and Bǐ looked at each other, thinking that the mistress must have been heartbroken because of Master's attitude.

  They both came out of the inner room with the door closed behind them. The master was asleep, but they still had things to attend to. The little maid who was responsible for gathering information came and went, running back and forth. Lu Hui pressed down on Bi's hand: "We're still here, so there's no need for you to go disturb her."

  I smiled and nodded: "That's right."

  Su Ying had fallen asleep, but the entire Man Hou Fu was still on high alert. It wasn't until the sky was lightening that Fu Ye Yang returned, dusty and disheveled. Originally, Liu Niang had been delighted to see Fu Ye Yang come to her quarters, but now she was preoccupied with thoughts of Master. She stood at the door, waiting and thinking that Fu Ye Yang would still return to her quarters. But all she got was a brief "you may withdraw" as Fu Ye Yang furrowed his brow and strode off towards the main courtyard without even breaking stride.

  Liu Yiniang was stunned on the spot, staring blankly at Fu Yeyang's ruthless back, her hands clenched tightly. Behind her, Da Luan's stone lychee carefully comforted her: "Looking at this situation, Master is probably discussing something with Madam, so let's go back."

  Liu Yiniang looked up and glanced at the tightly closed south courtyard, her hand on the armrest of the stone couch: "Have you found out what happened in the south?"

  "It's strange to say that Wei Yiniang is ill again, and nothing else has been inquired about." Shi Liu also found it strange that those maids were all tight-lipped, looking like something had happened in the south wing that couldn't be spread outside.

  Liu Yiniang looked pensive, and when she returned home to see the cup that Fu Yeyang had used before, her heart felt extremely bitter.

  Lü Qi and Bi were speaking in hushed tones when Fu Yeyang suddenly arrived. They quickly stood up as Fu Yeyang went straight into the inner room. Bi grabbed Lü Qi's hand, her heart racing with anticipation, and they pressed their ears against the door to listen for any noise inside. Not hearing the sound of tea cups shattering or tables crashing, they gradually calmed down. Earlier, Master's face had looked really terrible.

  Su Ying slept dazedly, Fu Ye stood by the bed and looked at her peaceful sleeping face, his anger was suddenly suppressed, unable to be expressed, stuck in mid-air. Very dissatisfied. His hands moved even faster. Directly lifted the quilt and crawled into Su Ying's warm and cozy blanket. With a cool hand, he stroked her face, Su Ying suddenly opened her eyes, and was stared at by Fu Ye's dark and deep eyes, giving her a chill, what was wrong with him again?

  Su Ying leaned back slightly and avoided his cool hand, sitting up: "What's wrong?"

  Fortunately, the man did not make any further moves. Seeing Su Ying wake up, he withdrew his hand and rubbed it behind him, saying vaguely, "It's nothing, you don't have to worry about it."

  The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward. Fu Yiyang stared at Su Ying, his voice gradually becoming as cold as the hand he had used to touch her earlier: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

  Su Ying furrowed her brow, feeling an inexplicable sense of annoyance in her heart. Hadn't he already made up his mind about the things he had done for her? What did he mean by saying such things now? Was it a question? Or was he trying to express his dissatisfaction?

  After what happened yesterday, Su Ying always used the greatest malice to speculate about Fu Yiyang's thoughts. She pursed her lips and cheered up to deal with the unpredictable old man: "What's going on in the second house? Just tell me, so I won't be uneasy."

  Fu Yiyang looked at her deeply. He turned over and lay down on the bed, resting his head on Su Ying's leg under the quilt. Su Ying sighed in her heart, pulled his sleeve, and said softly: "You haven't closed your eyes all night, come in and lie down for a while, it's good to nourish your spirit."

  Fu Yiyang found that his anger was calmed down by such soft words, and he lay back into the warm quilt, staring at the floral pattern on the canopy without moving. Su Ying didn't urge him either. After a while, he finally let out a sigh: "It's just that the servants accidentally spilled water, you're being too strict with them, don't make them bite their tongues off, and there's no need to say much in front of your mother."

  As soon as he thought of that mess, Fu Yeyang frowned again. In comparison, Su Ying was lovely all over, and even the sulking from yesterday's incident with Wei Niang had dissipated. He pulled Su Ying's hand: "You handle Wei's matter carefully, she's not herself anymore, she wasn't like this before."

  Su Ying bit her teeth and almost laughed coldly. Who are you talking to about her? Are you going to reminisce with me about your romantic past with her?

  Why don't you miss the original Su Shi? She worked hard to manage the backyard for you, and also had to deal with her mother-in-law who was making things difficult for her everywhere, as well as a house full of concubines who were arrogant. Where did you go when she had a miscarriage? You didn't even remember Su Shi's kindness!

  Su Ying suddenly felt a lump in her throat, fortunately she was sitting and Fu Ye Yang couldn't see her face. She couldn't guarantee that upon hearing such words, there wouldn't be even a hint of resentment on her face, even though she was no longer the original owner!

  Not only that, Su Ying still had to maintain her virtuous and generous nature. What was the point of being so virtuous and generous in the first place? She had spoiled this man into thinking that her virtuous and generous nature was a matter of course, that it should be this way!

  If it were the original Su who pinched her nose and acknowledged it, she would still have to plead for Wei's mother. If Su Ying didn't mind doing so in the past, now she wasn't that 'considerate'. She slowly let out a breath, her tone still lukewarm: "I think Wei doesn't have the courage to be so reckless, most likely she was instigated by those petty people, no matter what, I must consider my elder sister."

  Su Ying's words were heavily sarcastic, and even if there was no resentment in her tone, looking at Fu Yiyang's somewhat surprised expression, Su Ying almost let out a snort from her nose. She didn't explain any further, patted Fu Yiyang on the shoulder: "Take a nap for now, I'll call you when the time comes."

  Su Ying called Yan Tou to come in and clean up as usual. The aunties had already prepared hot water, and Pei Xian came in first to tidy up the bed, gently shaking the quilt, and disappointingly shook her head slightly towards Lu Hui.

  The hot water was ready but not needed, Fu Yeyang's face was cold and he refused to let Xiaoyu help him get dressed. His eyes didn't leave Su Ying, yesterday she looked affectionate, today her gaze seemed a bit strange, with a hint of thoughtfulness.

  Su Ying thought of Fu Yiyang's scrutinizing gaze after she finished speaking yesterday, and couldn't help but mock herself in her heart. Who was she doing this for? The man in front of her didn't have much thoughts about her, even though their relationship had eased up a bit over time. But the ice that froze for three days wasn't thawed in just one day, and with a little carelessness, everything would be ruined. Alas, after so many days, why hadn't she adjusted her mindset to the best yet? Wasn't her awareness high enough?

  Su Ying self-deprecatingly said to herself, re-doing her mental preparation, put on a set of clothes and combed her hair without rushing, pursed the corners of her mouth, walked over and waved for Xiao Yatou to withdraw: "Go prepare breakfast." She herself, as usual, bent down to help the old master who showed no emotions on his face, button up his buttons and tie his waistband. After all, she was just a servant.

  Su Ying let out a sigh in her heart and didn't bother to explain further. She naturally stood up and sat down in front of the dresser, where Bai Zhi combed her hair for her. After taking care of it for so long, her hair had become very black, shiny and smooth, and when she let it down her back, it was like a piece of satin.

  Fu Yiyang's eyes were fixed on her hair, not saying a word, waiting for Bai Zhi to finish styling her bun. When she was done, he suddenly coughed and said, "Use the one with the three-tailed phoenix hairpin." Su Ying saw from the mirror that after speaking, he looked a bit embarrassed and rubbed his nose, then turned around and left, his back figure looking very carefree.

  Bai Zhi's eyes were filled with uncontainable joy, even more so than Su Ying herself. She obediently took out the hairpin that Fu Ye Yang had mentioned from the jewelry box - a phoenix hairpin with three tails and a single drop of flowing tassels. She smiled slyly: "Madam, wearing this phoenix hairpin with the hairstyle I did for you is just perfect, it makes you look even more beautiful."

  Su Ying's mood improved slightly, but unfortunately, bad things came along with it.

  Today was the day when Liu Yiniang and Liyue went to Zhengyuan to pay their respects. When Su Ying came out of the inner house, she saw Fu Yeyang and Liu Yiniang facing each other. Fu Yeyang noticed that Liu Yiniang looked dispirited, thinking about what she had said yesterday about her ancestors, his expression softened slightly as he comforted her: "You don't have to work so hard."

  Madam Liu's waist was soft and supple, and this kneeling made her figure even more slender. Her words were also pleasant to hear: "I only have this heart, I really don't dare to be lazy with the two words 'hard work'."

  Su Ying hooked the corner of her mouth and revealed a smile with a playful tone. From Wei Niang to Liu Niang, although they were born differently, their tactics for hooking up with the old master were similar. Wei Niang was elegant in appearance, often pretending to be weak and pitiful, which was also effective. As for Liu Niang, she had a charming appearance, her movements more restrained than Wei Niang's, often showing off her soft figure. But weren't they all just slightly lowering their heads and revealing half of their necks? Who knew that Fu Ye Yang really fell for this kind of thing?

  Su Ying's footsteps didn't stop, as if she hadn't seen the scene at all, and walked over slowly. Madame Liu hadn't waited for her to say what she wanted to hear, her eyes were still fixed on Fu Yeyang and wouldn't move away. She didn't expect Su Ying to come out at this time, meeting Su Ying's bright eyes, with a surprised and flustered expression on her delicate face.

  The beauty was frightened, her face lost its color, and even Su Xian felt that he had become a fierce beast, scaring the beauty so much. Thinking this way, Su Xian's expression became even more gentle, his smile deepened, and his eyes moved from the soft and charming Liu Niang to the plump and white Li Yue. Li Yue was wearing a light yellow inner garment, an apple green outer garment, and a pomegranate red flower on her hair, which matched her gentle and plump appearance, looking quite pleasing to the eye.

  Who says he's an honest man?
