The Fourth Lady

Chapter 104 Sun Bimeng IV

"If a girl can be just an ordinary girl, then naturally it was for the best." Qingyan looked to them and

calmly spoke, "But my Su manor is a ruthless place."

"If you want to survive in a wolves' lair, then you'll have to turn yourself into a wolf." Qingyan's voice

was neither soft nor loud, yet it was enough for everyone in the entire room to hear.

"Good words. Su Qingyan, if you were a man, I really would want to recruit you as an advisor, have you

scheme for me."

"Thank you Fourth Prince for the honor. This bit, Qingyan feels unworthy to receive." Qingyan looked to

Xuanyuan Yuzhen and calmly spoke. "I've only just done some things, it's not worthy of praise."

"Since everyone is here todays, then I'll invite you all for a feast." Murong Jingxuan summoned the

shopkeeper to prepare for everyone a luxurious lunch.

Qingyan looked to Murong Jingxuan, having no intention of wanting to stay, "Shizi, I still have some

things to take care of, so it's inconvenient to stay here, I'll take my leave in advance."

Originally, Murong Jingxuan wanted to urge her to stay here for the meal, but seeing that look of hers,

he was unwilling to speak out to make her stay.

Seeing Qingyan's figure retreating in the distance, Mu Zhimin opened her mouth smiling, "Brother

Jingxuan, if you like Yan'er, why haven't you chased after her!"

"That's right, that's right, Qingyan's a good girl." Xuanyuan Yuning looked to Murong Jingxuan and

teasingly said.

It wasn't until Murong Jingxuan glared at them with his ice cold gaze did they finally shut up. They didn't

want to die in Murong Jingxuan's icy cold gaze after all.

"Fengshuang, go follow after Yan'er and see what she's up to." Murong Jingxuan's chilly voice spoke

into the air.

"Understood."

After leaving Julong Zhai, Qingyan made Qingdai go with her to where that Sun Bimeng was staying. If

she wanted to deal with Sun Bimeng, she needed to first see what kind of person this Sun Bimeng was.

Thinking up to that point, Qingyan smirked. She whispered something into Qingdai's ears, and Qingdai

grinningly went to fulfill her order. Qingyan randomly found a place to sit down.

About an hour later, Qingdai brought Zizhu and Baizhi before her.

"Miss, what are you up to?" Baizhi looked to Qingyan and puzzlingly asked, "I heard Qingdai say you

wanted to go look at other manors."

"That's right, to go meet our future Yiniang*." Qingyan looked to Baizhi and slowly spoke, "Since that

woman wants to reach her hand into our first house, we'll just see whether or not she has that ability."

(*T/N: As a refresher, yiniang is what you would call your father's concubine.)

Zizhu listened to Qingyan's words and immediately understood what Qingyan was trying to say, "Miss

means to say that Lord Su has someone on the outside?"

Qingyan looked to Zizhu and Baizhi and shook her head, only roughly explaining to them the current

situation. As for the specifics, she'll have to wait until after she meets that Sun Bimeng to know.

Sun Bimeng really is an interesting woman. As for that Granny Zhang, she also felt she was very

interesting too.

Hehe, I really hope, Xuanyuan Yufan, you won't let me be disappointed!

Else, you'll really be unworthy of my big surprise.

Zizhu knew well in her heart, that although their madam was someone hard to get along with, she

treated them extremely well. Thus, to have taken in Sun Bimeng, it was also within reason. But if this

woman wanted to damage Lord Su and madam's relationship, then that's certainly unforgivable.

"Miss, what do you plan on doing?" Zizhu looked to Qingyan and very angrily spoke, as if she was

taking this matter very personally.

"Let's go. We'll go scout her out." Qingyan said as she placed down the teacup in hand.

Qingyan walked in the streets with Zizhu, Baizhi, and Qingdai. This wasn't Qingyan's first time out in

the streets, but she wasn't like those sheltered ladies, feeling as if everything she saw was refreshing

and new.

She was once the Empress, above tens of thousands and below only one person, what kinds of things

has she not seen.

And right now, she wanted to first scout out the ins and outs of this woman.

And there was nothing better than her personally coming out and speaking.

---------------------------

Sun Bimeng was just planning to take a nap when she heard the quarreling noises outside the

courtyard. She remembered that this manor was under Su Yun's name, so normally no one would

come bother her. And now that there was quarreling noises, it must be because Su Yun came to see

her.

When she thought of this, Sun Bimeng quickly tidy up herself and walked out of the room. But when

she got to the courtyard entrance, she found that it was Granny Zhang arguing with a little girl.

And that little girl's appearance somewhat resembled Su Yun's.

"I already said this isn't the Su manor's official residence, if you want to look for the General, don't

come here." Granny Zhang looked to Qingyan and spoke in discontent. She had never seen such an

ignorant little girl. If it was in the past, she would have already taken her out.

"I am Dingguo Duke, Su Yun's daughter, this is this miss's courtyard. What's wrong with this miss

coming to see her own family's courtyard?" Qingyan looked to Granny Zhang and dryly spoke, "Don't

tell me there's something that shouldn't be seen raised here?"

Hearing this, Granny Zhang paused. She didn't expect that the girl before her was actually Su Yun's

daughter. At this time, she suddenly noticed, this girl's brows and eyes shared a few similarities with Su

Yun.

However, she looked as if she was easy to trick too. If she can use this girl to enter the Su manor, that

wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

Seeing the calculations in Granny Zhang's eyes, Qingyan clearly understood. But this was just what

she wanted, to have Granny Zhang think she was kindhearted.

"So it's Lord Su's daughter! Quickly come in." Granny Zhang completely changed face, looking to This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Qingyan with an amiable look. "Miss, this courtyard Lord Su granted to our miss."

"Oh!" Qingyan grinningly spoke, "I'm Qingyan, I wonder what kind of madam granny's master is?"

Qingyan tilted her head like a young lady that wasn't well versed with the matters of the world.

This look of hers made Granny Zhang want to take advantage of her more. "Our miss was saved from

the battlefield by Lord Su. Lord Su is a good person."

Just as Granny Zhang was leading Qingyan into the yard, she saw Sun Bimeng standing there shyly.

She walked over to Qingyan and very intimately grasped her hand, "I can't believe you're Lord Su's

daughter. Your looks are somewhat similar to the lord's though."

"Big sister is also really beautiful." Qingyan tilted her head and looked to Sun Bimeng, still grinning.

Hearing Qingyan's words, Sun Bimeng blushingly spoke, "Not as pretty as you are, I'm already old."

When Sun Bimeng heard her say those words, she just knew Qingyan was a pawn she could use. And

when she looked to Granny Zhang, Granny Zhang's eyes were also filled with agreement.

Sun Bimeng looked at the young girl before her, thinking about how to curry favor with this young girl.

Looks like she certainly can use this pawn to marry into the Su manor.
