  Xu Nuo got off the carriage first and then turned back to help Su Lingfeng out.

  Su Lingfeng merely went through the motions of shaking Xunuo's hand before jumping down from the carriage with a swift and decisive movement.

  In front of him stood an old man in his fifties, with some white temples and a still kind face, but the sharp glint in his eyes was not to be underestimated.

  Looking at the old man's attire and demeanor, he shouldn't be her grandfather, Lord Lingyun of the City Master's Manor. He looks more like a housekeeper. Su Lengfeng didn't speak out rashly, but calmly looked at the old man, waiting for him to speak first.

  The old man sized up Su Lengfeng, his expression slightly excited, and after a moment, he smiled and said: "I am Mu Da, the steward of the City Master's Mansion. You are Miss Ye Lan's daughter, Miss Leng Feng?"

  Su Lingfeng bowed to Mu Da and said politely: "Hello Mu Da butler, I am Su Lingfeng."

  Su Lengfeng knew that the master of Lingyun City, whose surname was Sutu and name was Xiao Shan, was the one Mu Da called Ye Lan, who was the birth mother of this body, the second lady of the Su family, Sutu Ye Lan.

  Mu Da looked at Su Lengfeng with a gentle and loving gaze, nodded slightly in a daze, and said: "Good, good, time really flies, young lady has grown up so much already..." After a pause, he continued: "The city master is not currently in the mansion, probably won't be back until evening. The city master had instructed us to prepare your living quarters earlier, you must be tired from traveling for days, why don't you go rest first?"

  Su Lengfeng only then noticed that the carriage they were in had stopped in front of a courtyard gate. Through the open door, she could see inside the courtyard, where strange flowers and plants competed with each other in beauty, and the scenery and architecture were all carefully designed, full of gentle, quiet elegance. It was obviously a courtyard suitable for women to live in. On the plaque above the courtyard gate, which looked very new, were written three large characters: "Lin Feng Yuan". Apparently, this would be her temporary residence from now on.

  Muta called out to the people behind him, and a group of servants who had been silent until then came forward, bowed to Su Ling in a hurry, addressing her as "young miss", and then began to unload the carriage.

  What Su Lianfeng brought was not much, she had almost all her own things in the spatial ring, and there were only some gifts and items that Su Heng asked her to bring on the carriage, but what exactly they were, Su Lianfeng didn't know at all.

  It only took a moment for everything to be moved, and Mu Da let the few servants who had been arranged in advance stay at Lin Feng Yuan, ordering everyone else to leave.

  Xiao Minglang and Su Lianfeng, Mu Da waved goodbye, also took the few guards away.

  Su Lianfeng entered the bedroom, and soon a maid brought in hot water and new clothes. Su Lianfeng was not used to being served by others, so she ordered them all to withdraw, saying that if there were no matters at hand, they should not come to disturb her. Those servants were also understanding of the situation, and after responding with a "yes", they retreated.

  Su Leng had just finished washing up and was having someone bring over a small wooden basin of warm water, calling out to Tuanzi, planning to give this little guy who was almost starting to stink a bath.

  "Wow, what a cute monster!" The maid who came in with the water saw Tuanzi and her eyes immediately turned into a pair of peach hearts. "Young miss, do you need my help?"

  "It's okay, I'll handle it myself, you can go down." Su Lingfeng refused.

  The maid heard this and a disappointed look appeared on her face. She gazed at the dumplings longingly, then turned around and left the room.

  "Hehe... Haha... Heehee..." The sound of Tuanzi's laughter kept coming from the room, Tuanzi's small body splashing in the water, communicating with Su Lingfeng, "Mommy, Tuanzi is so itchy... Hehe... Mommy, don't scratch there... Mommy, Tuanzi doesn't want to take a bath anymore..."

  Su Lingfeng ignored Tuanzi's pleading and struggling, pinning it down and continuing to tease.

  Xiao Bai crouched opposite the bathtub, a pair of bright blue dragon eyes staring intently at the constantly kicking Tuanzi, their gaze filled with absolute envy, jealousy and hatred...

  It seems like it's also playing with water...

  Xunuo's room was next to Sulangfeng's, after tidying up, he took the fruit that the maid had just delivered and knocked on the door into Sulangfeng's room.

  Su Lengfeng was using a large towel to wipe down Tuanzi, who smelled the sweet aroma of fruit and began to fuss about wanting to eat something.

  Xu Nuo noticed Tuanzi's greedy appearance and couldn't help but smile. She quickly handed an apple over to it.

  Tuanzi held an apple and took a big bite of it with relish.

  Xiaobai felt even more unbalanced in her heart, turned her head and pouted: "Foodie!"

  "Miss, those gifts, need to be sent out?" Xunuo asked.

  "Uh-huh." Su Lengfeng nodded: "Leave the one that belongs to my grandfather, you handle the rest."

  "Alright, I understand." After a pause, Xu Nuo said: "Miss, you know the City Master, he... what kind of person is he?"

  For more than a month, from the occasional words of those guards, and just now Mu Da and the servants' attitude towards Su Lingfeng, Xunuo understood that this was Su Lingfeng's first time in Lingyun City, and she had never met her own grandfather, Lord Lingyun. She couldn't help but worry about Su Lingfeng a little, as Miss Su's temperament was too cold, and she didn't know if she would win over the old man's favor...

  Su Ling glanced at Xu Nuo and knew what she was thinking, calmly saying: "Don't worry, I'll be fine." Since Si Tu Xiao Shan had sent someone to pick her up, he must have some understanding of her situation, so she didn't need to deliberately try to please him, just being her usual self would do.

  Xu Nu saw Su Leng's calm face, completely without any tension, and put his mind at ease, secretly wondering if he had thought too much, the blood relationship that was dissolved in water, even if they hadn't met before, shouldn't be rejected.

  At dinner time, Muda personally came to invite Su Lengfeng and said with a kind smile: "Miss, the city master has returned and is waiting for you in the dining hall." After a slight pause, he continued: "The city master looks a bit serious, but don't worry, Miss. He's actually very easy-going, just not good at expressing his emotions."

  Su Lengfeng knew that Mu Da had come specifically to give her advance notice, so she would be prepared in her heart. She nodded gratefully at him, "Thank you, Mu Da butler, Lengfeng knows."

  Muda saw Su Leng's calm and steady footsteps, her face serene, and nodded slightly, "The City Lord will like Miss..."

  As soon as they entered the dining hall, they saw the attendants standing in two rows, each one expressionless and standing straight, unusually quiet. When Mu Xiuji made a gesture, those people bowed to Su Pingfeng and said, "Young Miss." Only after Su Pingfeng walked past did those people stand up again, still standing neatly.

  Su Lengfeng stood still in front of the dinner table, staring straight at the man sitting across from him, who had been gazing intently at him since he entered the restaurant.

  P.S: Going out in the afternoon, cleaning up the house, and coming back at night with a change of clothes.
