Chapter 107: Heartless?

  Su Lengfeng and Su Heng exchanged a few polite words, briefly recounting her experiences in the imperial court. Then, he dismissed her to rest. Of course, she only picked out some innocuous things to say.

  Back in the pear garden, Liu'er was already waiting at the gate of the garden.

  "Miss, you're back! I've missed you so much..." Liu'er's face was filled with smiles as she came forward.

  Su Lingfeng stopped Liu'er from coming to support her with an icy gaze, and instructed in a tone without much warmth: "Go prepare hot water."

  Liu'er's smile froze for a moment, and then she immediately said: "Young mistress, I heard you're back, so I've prepared hot water for you, as well as clean clothes to change into..."

  "And hers." Su Leng glanced at Xu Nuo and nodded towards Liu Er.

  Liu'er looked at Su Lingfeng with a puzzled expression, her back against the sword, and said coldly: "Yes, I'll go prepare now..." She paused for a moment, then asked: "Miss, where should this young lady's... be prepared?"

  Su Lingfeng walked into the house and said, "Just prepare it in your room."

  "My room?" Liu Er was stunned.

  "Uh-huh, you go pack your things and move in with Zhang Ma and the others. Your room will be given to Xu Nuo." Su Ling said calmly.

  "I... I'm going to move in with... with Zhang Ma and them?!" Liu Er asked uncertainly. That's where the rough servants live!

  "What? You have an opinion?" Su Lengfeng turned his head sideways to look at her, his eyes gleaming with a cold, eerie light.

  "Nothing... nothing..." Liu Er was frightened and hastily lowered her head.

  "Then go and prepare."

  "Yes... I'll go..." Yuer bit her lip and turned away.

  Xu Nuo was a shrewd person, and she naturally sensed some clues about the strange atmosphere between this pair of master and servant. This Miss Su didn't like her original personal maid...

  During this period of time, Xunuo also roughly understood Su Lengfeng's character and temperament. She believed that Su Lengfeng would not make things difficult for a subordinate without reason. Xunuo was also a very sensible person, and she didn't have so much sympathy, so she wouldn't speak out to plead for anyone.

  Su Ling comfortably took a hot bath, changed into some clothes, leaned back on the soft couch, and closed her eyes to rest.

  Liu'er brought in a hot tea and placed it on the low table beside Su Lingfeng, wanting to speak but hesitating.

  "Just say what you want to say." Su Lengfeng said lazily without opening his eyes.

  "Big sister...... You...... Are you going to Lingyun City?"

  "Hmm." Su Leng responded faintly.

  Liu'er gritted her teeth and said with a sudden burst of courage: "Young Mistress... I've served you wholeheartedly for so many years, I'm used to staying by your side... I... I..."

  "Do you want to go with me?" Su Lingfeng opened his eyes and stared straight at Liu Er.

  Liu'er fell to her knees with a "thud" and begged: "Please take Liu'er along, miss!"

  "You're also at the age where you should be getting married...". Liu'er was a servant born into the household, and as a servant, she could only be married off to someone of lower status within the estate.

  Liu'er's face turned white as she heard the words, and she kowtowed, saying: "This servant doesn't want to get married, this servant wants to continue serving Miss, please take Liu'er with you..."

  Su Lengfeng left, Su Yumin lost his beloved weapon, and he was angry but couldn't vent it out, so he started to bully Su Lengfeng's maid Liu'er. The flattery and fawning that Liu'er had shown him before were never taken seriously by Su Yumin.

  A month later, the master of the Su family's old house in the capital came to fetch Su Yuemin. Just as Liu'er had breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't expect that before leaving, Su Yuemin would have her mother, Third Madame, go and persuade First Madame on her behalf, arranging a marriage for her with a mute servant from the mansion who was almost thirty years old...

  Just when Liu'er had lost all hope, Su Lingfeng returned. She seemed to have grasped a lifesaving straw and no longer cared about anything else.

  "I won't take you with me, go down." Su Lingfeng said, closing his eyes.

  "No! Young mistress! Young mistress, I beg of you, please take Liu'er with you..." Liu'er knelt forward two steps, grabbed Su Lingfeng's arm and shook it desperately.

  "Xǔ nuò, take her down." Sū Líng fēng shuǎi kāi Liǔ ér de shǒu, duì gāng jìn mén lái de Xǔ Nuò shuō.

  Translation:

  "Xu Nuo, bring her down." Su Lingfeng shook off Liu'er's hand and said to Xu Nuo who had just entered the door.

  "Yes, miss." Liu'er stepped forward and pulled Liu'er away: "Sister Liu'er, the young lady has been traveling for many days and is very tired. She needs to rest, you go down first."

  "Let me go! Miss, young lady..."

  Xu Nuo steeled himself, ignoring Liu Er's cries and dragged her out of the room. Just then, he saw two rough-looking servant women looking in their direction, so he called out to them: "Liu Er is feeling unwell, would you two mothers please take her down and look after her for a bit?"

  Two old women nodded and murmured in agreement, and then took Liu'er away.

  Xu Nu returned to the room, Su Lengfeng was drinking tea. Seeing Xu Nu come in, he put down his teacup and said: "Do you think I'm heartless?"

  Xu Nu smiled, "Miss, if you didn't have feelings for me, why would you have saved me in the first place?"

  Su Lian heard the words, slightly stunned for a moment, then lightly laughed: "Perhaps, I just wanted to find trouble with Zhou Mei'er, and coincidentally saved you. Keeping you by my side is merely because you still have some value."

  "Miss, Xunuo has grown not only in height but also in heart." Xunuo said calmly as she looked at Su Lengfeng.

  Su Ling's lips curled slightly at the corners, she closed her eyes and didn't say anything else.

  After dinner, Su Heng sent someone to call Su Lianfeng and asked her to go to the study to talk.

  Su Lingfeng arrived at Su Heng's study door and knocked gently on it.

  "Come in." A low, authoritative voice came from inside, belonging to Su Heng.

  Su Lingfeng opened the door and went in, bowing to Su Heng and saying: "Father, you called me?"

  "Ah, sit down." Su Heng pointed to the chair across from him.

  Su Lingfeng didn't stand on ceremony and sat down in a chair, waiting for Su Heng to speak.

  "The wind outside has suffered a lot..."

  "It's alright, I can handle it." Su Lingfeng replied calmly.

  "Your sister was taken to the capital by your grandfather... actually, I also wanted you to go, but unfortunately, you were not in the mansion at that time..."

  "Oh." Su Lengfeng nodded, no wonder this time back, did not see that spoiled Su Yuemin. However, she didn't care about going to the Imperial Capital anyway.

  Su Heng saw Su Leng's calm reaction and changed the subject: "Feng Er's Dou Qi... has there been a breakthrough?"

  Su Leng nodded without hiding anything, "Currently, I have already cultivated to the third level of Dou Qi." In fact, she had almost reached the fourth level, but it seemed that she had encountered a bottleneck and couldn't break through.

  "What? Feng Er's Dou Qi has already broken through to the third level?!?" Su Heng was greatly shocked!
