Chapter 159: Chapter 159 I Just Want to Elevate You

It’s rather rare, Xue Shuyue wasn’t annoyed and didn’t show a stern face like before; it seems she has gotten used to being scolded.

"How come you have no sense of crisis at all?"

She straightforwardly squeezed past Yicui, and without further discussion, started pushing the wheelchair, taking Shen Hua with her towards the outside.

"Don’t think I’m making a big deal out of nothing. Wu Shaoyin went to visit the Young Madam at her courtyard early in the morning. What intentions she harbors, how could I not know? It’s clear she was trying to probe for information."

"Let’s go, we’ll go too!"

"We absolutely can’t fall behind."

Shen Hua didn’t want to go.

But, upon reconsidering, she did not refuse.

Wu Shaoyin did have some self-awareness. If this matter was really to be understood deeply, the most responsible one would be Madam Cui Xuan, since even though Qiao Si was in charge of the household, it was still not proper for a widow to handle her brother-in-law’s marriage matters.

If it really needed to be arranged, it had to be done by Cui Xuan.

Wu Shaoyin knew Cui Xuan disliked her, and she is also aware of Qiao Si’s gentle nature.

Shen Hua pursed her lips, "Push faster."

Don’t let the little ghost’s Mama be put in a difficult position.

Xue Shuyue: Haha.

Pretending not to care before, finally showing your true colors, huh!!!

Xue Shuyue: "Hold tight! I’m going to run pushing you!"

Shen Hua: ...

And the Wu Shaoyin they were talking about, was currently nervously sitting inside Qiao Si’s room.

Qiao Si spoke with a hint of exhaustion. The old woman serving her was already showing signs of turning pale.

"Miss Wu, you came with tea and snacks prepared, and all the due courtesies are here. The Young Madam is very busy, yet she still made time to welcome you, and since safety has been paid, it would be better to leave early. The lady still has things to do later."

Wu Shaoyin, naturally thick-skinned, looked like she was deeply wronged.

"Does my cousin sister-in-law dislike me?"

Hearing her calling her cousin sister made Qiao Si feel uncomfortable.

How would she not know Wu Shaoyin’s schemes?

Qiao Si could only say gently: "It’s not just me who heard the rumors outside. I’m afraid even the Dowager in the main courtyard got alarmed."

As expected, Wu Shaoyin’s eyes brightened.

She waited for what Qiao Si would say next. After all, Qiao Si was close to Cui Xuan like a real mother and daughter, so she must know that girl’s identity.

"The Wu Family was also a noble family, and Miss Wu wasn’t that young when she went to the countryside. You should still remember the rules of Shengjing."

"You’re concerned about your future second cousin sister-in-law and want to inquire from me about her character and preferences, but since the girl hasn’t entered the house yet, you’re not yet a maiden of the Cui family, it’s somewhat inappropriate."

Qiao Si, being the head of the household for many years, naturally had the skill of running a household.

She smiled.

"Miss Wu, you only need to know this much."

"If this matter is false, the young master himself will come out to clarify to his mother-in-law, and those who spread the rumors maliciously will be questioned. If it’s true, it fulfills the whole household’s wishes; it’s not only a good thing but also a joyful event for the Marquis Mansion. Even the officials, considering the loyalty of the Marquis Mansion, would be pleased for it."

Having said that, she then picked up her tea to moisten her throat. Just as she was about to ask the old woman to usher the guest out, Wu Shaoyin sitting opposite sobbed, tears rolling down from the corner of her eyes.

"Cousin sister-in-law misunderstood me."

"Since moving into Marquis Mansion, I knew I wasn’t as well-liked as Miss Shen, but after all, the Wu and Cui families are related. Staying here, I’ve been nervous every day, clumsy and always deeply afraid of being despised by the mansion. Thinking that when the second cousin sister-in-law enters the door, I must be more attentive, that’s why I came here."

Her tears, cheaply and freely falling.

A moment ago, Qiao Si who sounded rather harsh suddenly felt a bit at a loss.

"Why are you crying?"

"It’s my covetousness, I’ve lost proper manners," Wu Shaoyin said, biting her lip sorrowfully.

Listening to the commotion, the maids outside the room couldn’t help but complain with indignation.

"She cries every time, those unaware would think the Young Madam has bullied her. I don’t think the Wu Family was much to look at back in the day either."

"She’s just banking on the Young Madam’s good temper, not even considering her status. People have died in this family and even the mourning wasn’t as frequent as her crying."

Just at that moment, the old woman guarding the door hurried over.

"People from the West Garden are here again. I wonder if our Young Madam will meet with them or not?"

The maid frowned, "When will this end? They keep coming one after another."

The old woman said, "It’s Lady Xue and Miss Shen."

The maid was silent for a moment.

She knew about Yicui receiving the imperial gifts as a meeting present from Qiao Si.

Even the Commandery Princess loves to cling to Miss Shen; naturally, she can’t be treated like an ordinary cousin.

Not daring to delay, she hurried into the house to report.

Qiao Si was already having a headache, hearing this she hurriedly said, "Miss Shen is here? Please invite her in quickly."

The maid respectfully withdrew, and the old woman still waited in the yard for the reply.

"Go and invite her."

"Yes."

"Wait a moment," the maid pondered briefly.

"I’ll go and invite her myself."

It was only after Yicui was pushed into the yard that she rose and went inside.

Her gaze immediately locked onto Wu Shaoyin. Unlike Xue Shuyue, who respectfully paid her respects, her first sentence was directed towards Wu Shaoyin.

"Oh, are you crying?"

Wu Shaoyin paused.

Yicui looked at her reproachfully: "What about you, not even notifying me, we’re all in the same courtyard, there’s no need to be so distant."

Wu Shaoyin: "..."

Yicui approached, her heart almost melted by her tears. She looked at her contentedly for a long time.

"Come, let me wipe your tears."

The girl gently took out a handkerchief, but retracted it halfway through.

Wu Shaoyin, just about to reach for it: ...

So you are playing with me?

"I almost forgot, my handkerchief is quite precious. Can’t just ruin it like that."

Yicui amiably said, "No worries, I’ll lend you one."

She turned to look at Xue Shuyue.

As usual, Xue Shuyue would naturally refuse.

But!!! As soon as Yicui stepped forward, she slapped Wu Shaoyin’s face, boiling with anger!!!

Truly an ally! Who can compete!

Without a second word, she handed over her handkerchief that she had used for months and should have replaced.

Yicui affectionately said, "Let me wipe for you."

Wu Shaoyin was completely disconcerted.

"No no no, I’ll do it myself."

Yicui expectantly looked at her: "Are you still crying?"

Wu Shaoyin expressionlessly: "No."

"Then teach me the trick to shedding tears in a moment. Your crying voice is also strangely melodious."

Wu Shaoyin numbly: "Miss Shen flatters me too much."

"I just enjoy flattering you! Don’t sell yourself short! If only my Daddy’s concubine wasn’t so dull, if she could cry half as alluringly as you, I bet he would’ve made her his official wife by now."

After all, Shen Wei is a man, Yicui doesn’t believe he married Shen Xue-Shi without any personal motives.

Qiao Si watched this scene in amazement but had to suppress her laughter.

She thought, finally there’s someone who can handle Wu Shaoyin. Does that mean the day she is driven out of the Marquis Mansion is also not far off?

Yicui didn’t make it hard for Wu Shaoyin. She even started reasoning with her.

"You know, I am the most tender and loving in the entire Marquis Mansion. If it’s convenient for you, I’m willing to pay a hefty price, and if I’m in the mood, I’ll even go out and hire a master who can play the zither to accompany you with a melancholy tune, and invite dozens of dancing girls to perform a dance of departure. Why do you go looking for my cousin instead of me? Isn’t that seeking the wrong person? She doesn’t have my sense of appreciation."
