A dream ends life

Chapter 218: People We Met a Few Times

Xiao Che looked at Su Ci without any expression.

The scene on the street was still lingering in his mind. He knew everything about him, Yu Luohan, and Yan Chuan.

Thinking of Yan Chuan who was still waiting outside the villa, he felt very uncomfortable.

There was a beast roaring in his heart, and he tried to calm himself and not let it break out of its cage.

Said: "We have only met a few times."

Du Jingjing blinked her innocent eyes and smiled at Su Ci: "What a coincidence, sister, you came here. Today is a family dinner. Have a drink before leaving."

Su Ci raised her eyes with a smile in her eyes: "It's really unfortunate, I still have some personal matters to deal with, so I won't bother you. Please pass this little token of my love on... pass it on to Madam Li."

She actually didn't know how to address the Grand Empress Dowager. She used to treat her as the old lady next door, but now it was not appropriate. She could only call her Nanny Li, thinking that she would know what to do.

There were only Xiao Che, Du Jingjing, and Su Ci in the lobby, and the atmosphere was really awkward.

She felt that she was a little redundant and it was time to disappear, so she stood up and said goodbye.

Xiao Che clenched his hands into fists hidden in his long sleeves, and his face remained expressionless.

Watching Su Ci walk out, I felt panicked.

Is she so impatient to see Yanchuan?

Du Jingjing said, "The guests have left. Cousin, let's go find my aunt. My aunt said today is a family dinner, but I didn't expect that there would be someone coming to visit. No wonder my aunt didn't want to go back to the city to celebrate her birthday. It's so annoying..."

Su Ci laughed at herself, it turned out that she was so unpopular because she brought trouble upon herself.

Xiao Che stared at her back and almost had the urge to grab her back several times.

Li Ma Ma smiled and turned around from the backyard, "Oh, Miss Cousin is here too. I am honored to meet Miss Cousin."

Du Jingjing said playfully, "Mammy, I miss you and my aunt so much. Where did you go? Why didn't you take me with you? If my cousin hadn't come back, I wouldn't have known you were here. Do you dislike me?"

Nanny Li said lovingly, "No way, the young lady was still talking about you yesterday, saying how much she missed you."

Du Jingjing raised the corners of her mouth, looking smug: "I told you, my aunt loves me the most, cousin, you still don't believe it, Aunt Li, do you think so?"

"Yes, yes, yes! What my cousin said is right!" Nanny Li looked at Du Jingjing as if she were a junior, and the kindness in her eyes was beyond words.

Looking at the two brocade boxes left by Su Ci on the table, he asked curiously, "What is this?"

Du Jingjing said, "It was brought by a woman who came here to show off in front of my aunt, but was sent away by my cousin."

Madam Li paused, "What kind of woman is she?"

Looking at Xiao Che, trying to see something from his face.

Xiao Che lowered his eyes slightly, still saying nothing.

Du Jingjing said, "I don't know him, but my cousin said he was just someone they met a few times, so it's not important. She put the things down and left. By the way, she also said that these things are for you, old man."

Nanny Li felt that it was not as simple as Du Jingjing said, but it was not easy to ask directly. She said a few more words to Du Jingjing, then went out with the two brocade boxes.

Walking to the door, he looked at He Wei who was standing there acting as a wooden stake and said, "Come with me."

He Wei had been panicking for a long time. He had a feeling that something big had happened. When his master went out in the morning, he was in high spirits and his good mood was clearly written on his face.

Why are you unhappy when you see Miss Su?

Could it be that Miss Su was to blame for coming uninvited?

Nanny Li called him to a deserted place and asked, "What's going on? Who is the woman who just came?"

He Wei scratched his head: "It was Miss Su, but she left after putting down her things, and the master didn't try to keep her. I don't know what happened."

Nanny Li frowned, "Aren't you and the prince going to pick up Miss Su? Why did you bring Miss Cousin here instead?"

He Wei shrugged: "I don't know, my master and I were originally going to pick up Miss Su, but we met my cousin on the way, so my master brought her back."

"Miss Su came here by herself, but the prince said that he had only met her a few times and was not familiar with her. So Miss Su left."

Madam Li felt something was wrong. She grabbed He Wei and said solemnly, "Tell me in detail what happened. Don't leave out a single detail."

After He Wei brought Su Ci in, he carefully learned what everyone said, even the tone was exactly the same.

Nanny Li stamped her feet, her face full of anxiety, "It's broken! It's broken! You take it."

As he said this, he stuffed the brocade box in his hand to He Wei and trotted towards the door.

Before He Wei could say anything, Nanny Li had already disappeared.

Just as Su Ci's carriage was about to start, Nanny Li ran out and said, "Miss Su, wait a minute."

Su Ci lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw that it was Nanny Li who was running out of breath.

"Mammy, is there something wrong?"

Nanny Li hadn't run like this for a long time, and she took a long time to catch her breath before she recovered.

"Miss Su, why are you leaving so suddenly? My mistress was just talking about you and asked why you haven't come yet. Come back with me quickly."

Su Ci smiled and declined: "No, Madam, I still have some things to deal with today, so I won't bother you anymore. I'll come back another day when I'm free."

Nanny Li didn't believe her words. If she didn't have time, why would she come to the house? What's going on here?

"Miss Su is here now, how can you leave without seeing your master? This is unreasonable. It's my master's birthday today, how can you bear to make her unhappy?"

Su Ci was a little embarrassed, but,

"Isn't today a family dinner? I'd better come back another day. It would be unreasonable for me to stay here. Goodbye."

Nanny Li said quickly, "Who said you can't come to the family dinner? My young lady has already agreed. If anyone dares to say anything, don't refuse."

Su Ci had a strange look on her face. She was Xiao Che's bedmate. Was it really okay for her to sit with his wife? It was too awkward. Since she had decided to end their relationship, she had to draw the boundaries she should have.

Nanny Li understood Su Ci, but how could she let her go? Today's banquet was for her and the prince.

He Wei appeared at the gate. He had leaped over. Seeing Su Ci was still there, he heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he hadn't left.

"I am here to ask Miss Su to go back. The old man is looking for Miss Su, and I don't want to spoil her fun. Miss Su, please go in!"

Su Ci wanted to ask whether it was the Empress Dowager who wanted her to go back, or Xiao Che, but she felt that it was unnecessary.

Seeing Nanny Li nodding to her with joy, she had no choice but to go back.

It would be a bit ungrateful for her to insist on leaving. So many people came with mountains of gold and silver, all trying to see someone who had nowhere to go, and they were all rushing to see her. What reason did she have not to go?

This time, he did not go to the main courtyard, but followed Nanny Li to the courtyard where the Empress Dowager lived.

Su Ci had stayed at the villa before, so he was naturally familiar with it.

The Empress Dowager was leaning on the couch and slowly opened her eyes when she heard footsteps.

Looking at Su Ci, he snorted: "That's strange, when did you become so shameless?"
