Chapter Sixty: The Hidden Struggle Between the Concubine and the Eldest Daughter! Madam Liu's Little Scheme! (Please subscribe! Please subscribe to the entire book!)

As she spoke, bursts of laughter, like the tinkling of copper bells, emanated from her throat.

His laughter was hearty and cheerful, yet not ostentatious; it was just right.

Su Yu was momentarily dazed.

Have I not entered the world of Joy of Life, but rather the world of Dream of the Red Chamber?

This is Wang Xifeng, the fairy-like concubine whose laughter could be heard before she even opened her lips?

However, their overall demeanor and laughter are somewhat similar.

But the person in front of me had a smile that was even more gentle.

There was a certain clarity in his eyes.

As soon as the noblewoman came out, the servants in the mansion respectfully stepped aside.

She made way for herself and walked alone in the middle.

Su Yu turned her head and saw that the newcomer had dark eyes and a beautiful face.

Her skirt swayed slightly in the wind.

The hairpins and hair ornaments on her head were numerous and intricate, making her look somewhat disheveled.

It was just that she possessed a refined and understated elegance.

But instead of making people feel that it is ostentatious, it feels like it should be this way.

Su Yu smiled faintly and nodded.

"You're too kind, Second Madam."

Su Yu naturally understood.

This elegant woman is Liu Ruyu, the second wife of the Marquis of Sinan.

Of course, people in the Fan family respectfully called her Second Madam.

In reality, Liu Ruyu is currently only a concubine and has not yet been officially recognized as the principal wife.

But this was not because Liu Ruyu was of lowly status and could only be a concubine.

Her family had a powerful background; within three generations, there was a duke.

Liu Ruyu's younger sister married Emperor Qing and is now Consort Yi.

Many people in Kyoto couldn't understand it before.

Why did Liu Ruyu marry a vice minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and not even as his principal wife?

In response, Liu Ruyu simply replied with a very blunt and direct statement.

"I'm happy to!"

It is clear from this that the second wife had a rather fiery temper.

Judging from the attitude of the servants of the Sinan Marquis's mansion towards Liu Ruyu.

She must have been a rather strict head of the household.

So, at this moment, the servants stood timidly to the side, watching Liu Ruyu.

Liu Ruyu looked at him with a gentle, spring-like smile.

This scene, no matter how you look at it, feels completely fragmented.

Su Yu clearly didn't understand why this aunt was being so enthusiastic towards her.

He was merely a down-on-his-luck scholar who was temporarily staying at the Marquis of Sinan's residence because of the imperial examinations.

If we're talking about any connections, it's with people from Danzhou.

Su Yu's first student was Fan Xian, an illegitimate son whom Liu Ruyu disliked.

Of course, Su Yu came to Si Nanbo's residence for a short stay.

This was because the old lady had extended such a warm invitation, and it was difficult to refuse.

Su Yu thought that she could spend more time with Ruoruo here.

Once Ruoruo has adapted and can handle the Fan family's problems with ease, then she can leave.

Otherwise, even if he wanted to participate in the Spring 043 Examination, Su Yu would have the money to rent a house.

After all, the old lady had given a considerable amount of tuition money initially, and it had increased several times over time.

While Su Yu was sizing up Liu Ruyu.

Liu Ruyu was also carefully observing Su Yu.

I had heard about this young schoolteacher from Danzhou before.

His appearance and talent were both outstanding and amazing.

Liu Ruyu didn't believe it, feeling that it was somewhat exaggerated.

After meeting him in person, she felt that those words were insufficient to describe the person before her.

This young man was handsome and elegant.

His demeanor is also very refined and dignified, making it hard not to feel happy upon seeing him.

Liu Ruyu glanced at it out of the corner of her eye, and thought to herself, "That's right."

The maids standing in front of the mansion gate were all staring at Mr. Su.

Her eyes were practically glued to the screen; she looked like a lovesick young girl.

Shameless!

However, Liu Ruyu also knew that everyone has a love of beauty.

Such a handsome young man before me.

Anyone who sees it can't help but take a second look.

It's just that I'm older and married too early, otherwise I might have had some thoughts about it.

If only I had a daughter, such a talented and beautiful young man.

If you can't be your own husband, then it's perfectly fine to let your daughter be your husband.

What a pity, what a pity.

Thinking of her daughter, Liu Ruyu's gaze swept over the little girl next to Su Yu.

Her skin was delicate and fair, and her appearance was extremely adorable.

It is quite different from when it was sent to Danzhou more than a year ago.

Even his overall demeanor has changed a lot.

But there was an indescribable indifference in his eyes.

But it doesn't matter, since she's not her biological daughter anyway.

Liu Ruyu's eyebrows curved into a smile, and the whole courtyard was illuminated.

"It must be Ruoruo."

"This child, after being raised in the countryside for more than a year, has become much fairer."

"It really is true, he's dark-skinned and thin, and looks sickly."

"I felt sorry for it, so I sent it to the countryside to be cared for for a while."

Su Yu smiled; this woman was indeed no fool without any guile.

In just a few words, he first belittled Ruoruo.

He gave this legitimate daughter, who was about to rival him in the inner quarters, a taste of his power.

At the same time, it also shows that she was heartbroken about Ruoruo's illness, which is why she sent her to the countryside to recuperate.

It was definitely not because she, as the stepmother, couldn't tolerate the legitimate daughter left behind by the former wife.

She established a good image as a stepmother for herself.

However, it's a pity that Liu Ruyu's little scheme was used on the wrong target.

She is clever, but only in a superficial way.

Su Yu could easily understand the deeper meaning behind her words.

Ruoruo, who was taught by both Su Yu and Fan Xian, was also able to understand.

Thinking this, Su Yu looked at Ruoruo, and sure enough, it was true.

As Liu Ruyu spoke, she walked forward again, intending to pat the little girl's head.

Ruoruo took a step back, creating a safe distance.

Yet he politely bowed.

"Ruoruo greets her aunt."

Not just anyone can touch her head.

Moreover, this Aunt Liu doesn't genuinely like me.

At least, not yet.

Since Lady Liu wanted to intimidate him, he had no choice but to return the courtesy.

Of course, as the gentleman instructed, the gift she returned was not excessive.

Liu Ruyu's smile remained unchanged.

Liu Ruyu didn't take Ruo Ruo's step back seriously.

They're not close; this is just a superficial project.

If Ruoruo doesn't want to do it, it'll save her some trouble.

However, there was still a different meaning in his eyes when he looked at the little girl.
