According to common sense, Su Mingyu really had no chance to turn things around. But now, behind her was not only the family of the Prince Ruixian, but also Ye Weiguang.
She wondered what kind of expression Ye Weiguang would have if he knew that his granddaughter had married Gu Ruobai in such a shabby way.
"Miss, why do I feel that your smile is so strange?" Zhizhu felt a chill down her back.
For some reason, she always felt that there was a faint sense of scheming on Miss's face today.
Seeing Zhizhu shivering all over, Su Mingyu said amusedly, "Don't worry. You're just a little maid. I won't make things difficult for you."
Saying that, Su Mingyu got up and stretched lazily.
Now that Su Yueyue had come to see her and she had also met Gu Ruobai, it was Ye Weiguang's turn next.
"Zhizhu, go to the kitchen and see what we're having for dinner tonight. I'm in a good mood today and want to eat something delicious."
Zhizhu nodded quickly. "I'll go right away."
After saying that, she hurried to the kitchen. Looking at the empty yard, Su Mingyu took a deep breath. "Actually, you could have just asked the servant to call me out. There's no need to hide on my roof like a thief."
As if not expecting Su Mingyu to see through him at a glance, Qingfeng put away his surprise and leaped down from the roof. "The master asked me to invite you to the mansion."
Su Mingyu nodded. "Please tell Lord Ye for me that I'll visit him tonight."
Qingfeng nodded. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he seemed to suddenly remember something. He turned back and looked at Su Mingyu curiously. "How did you know I was on the roof?"
Su Mingyu shrugged and smiled. "I guessed. Don't all those heroes in the storybooks like to hide in the dark?"
"Guessed?" Qingfeng's eyelids twitched. Why did he feel that this Su Mingyu in front of him was so unreliable?
As if guessing what he was thinking, Su Mingyu curled her lips and smiled. "Actually, I just set up some traps around my house that only I know about. When I saw that the trap was broken, I guessed that someone had come in."
"Traps?" Qingfeng looked around in confusion but didn't find what Su Mingyu was talking about.
Su Mingyu pouted. "Look in the southwest direction, about a foot high against the sunlight. What do you see?"
Qingfeng bent down to look and suddenly his eyes widened. Then he looked at Su Mingyu in disbelief. "Is this a silk thread?"
Su Mingyu nodded. "It's a special kind of silk thread. You can only see it under special reflection. And because I put it very low, ordinary people won't notice it."
"But if someone wants to enter my room through this path, they'll probably break it."
Originally, Qingfeng only thought that Su Mingyu was just a boudoir girl who was a little bit scheming and knew how to use the master.
But he didn't expect that she had such a mind. It seemed that she was not as timid and submissive as the rumors said.
"Qingfeng has learned his lesson this time. Next time, I'll definitely enter through the front door."
After saying that, Qingfeng tapped his toes, leaped onto the roof, and disappeared among the tiles.
Su Mingyu shook her head helplessly. "With lightness skills, he always jumps around like that."
Just as she was complaining, Su Mingyu suddenly found something on the ground. She bent down to pick it up and found that it was a small pouch.
After examining the pouch carefully, Su Mingyu couldn't help laughing out loud.
How could anyone be willing to carry such an ugly pouch with them?
Just thinking about Qingfeng's upright face with such a pouch, Su Mingyu felt a strange sense of disharmony.
"Miss, the cook bought fish today. I asked them to make the steamed fish we like..."
Before Zhizhu could finish her sentence, she suddenly noticed the pouch in Su Mingyu's hand. Her face suddenly turned ugly.
She snatched the pouch from Su Mingyu's hand and asked nervously, "Miss, where did you get this pouch?"
Looking at her pale face, Su Mingyu suddenly remembered something.
Could it be that Qingfeng was the one in Zhizhu's heart?
Su Mingyu took the pouch back from Zhizhu's hand, lowered her eyes, and looked at her. "I just picked it up on the roadside. Do you like it?"
Zhizhu's eyes were almost glued to the pouch, but she still shook her head. "No... I don't like it. I just think this pouch is so ugly. How could anyone carry it with them?"
"Well, we do share the same opinion on this." Su Mingyu smiled and put the pouch into her pocket. "What kind of fish did you just say you asked the kitchen to make for me?"
Zhizhu stared fixedly at the pouch until it was put into Su Mingyu's pocket.
Seeing her like this, Su Mingyu sighed silently.
After all, girls grow up and become independent. Her little maid had grown up and started to have her own thoughts.
"Zhizhu... I'm thirsty."
"Zhizhu?"
Finally, after Su Mingyu called her for the third time, Zhizhu woke up.
She immediately poured a cup of tea for Su Mingyu embarrassedly. "Um... Miss, I'm not feeling well today and want to go back and rest. I've asked someone to prepare fish for your lunch."
Seeing that she was just absent - minded, Su Mingyu nodded. "Okay, go ahead."
Watching Zhizhu's leaving back, Su Mingyu felt the pouch in her pocket. A serious look flashed in her clear eyes.
If things were really as she thought, she would have to meet this Qingfeng properly.
As night gradually fell, Su Mingyu changed into a less eye - catching outfit and climbed over the wall of the Su Mansion.
All the way to the Ye Mansion, before Su Mingyu even entered the back door, she saw Qingfeng waiting for her.
Su Mingyu squinted and smiled. "I'm just a little girl. There's no need for you, Qingfeng, to come and pick me up in person."
Qingfeng was very polite and humble. "I'm just a servant. Naturally, I have to follow the master's arrangements."
Su Mingyu nodded. "Then I'll trouble you to lead the way, Qingfeng."
On the way to Ye Weiguang's study, Su Mingyu suddenly asked, "Young Master Qingfeng is so handsome and suave. I wonder if you're married?"
Qingfeng was taken aback. It took him a long time to shake his head and say, "No..."
"Then..." Su Mingyu still pressed on. "Do you have a girl you like?"
"Why do you ask me this, Miss Su?" Qingfeng seemed a little overwhelmed and quickened his pace.
Su Mingyu pouted. "I'm just asking casually. You don't have to be so nervous, Young Master Qingfeng."
Just as she was speaking, they had already arrived at the study door. Qingfeng pushed open the door of the study and made a gesture of invitation to Su Mingyu. "Miss Su, the master is waiting for you."
