Su Shunci lowered her head, afraid that others would see her smile which was uglier than crying.
However, when the teacup was placed on the table, a sound was still made.
Ju'er looked at Su Shunci with disdain. She heard that this girl was a concubine of the Su family. She was really not presentable. In terms of etiquette, she was not as good as the daughters of their merchant families.
Jinyun, who was standing behind Su Shunci, saw Juer's contemptuous look at a glance. He pinched his waist in anger and glared back at her.
Bai Youxin looked at Su Shunci inquiringly, "Boss Su is surprised? Or do you think I am not worthy of the Third Young Master of the Lin Family?"
Su Shunci calmed down and said, "Not really. My third cousin didn't mention it before, so it was a bit sudden." After thinking for a while, he said, "Since my third cousin has proposed to me many times, how can I say I am not worthy of him?"
Afterwards, Bai Youxin talked to Su Shunci about the Bai family’s new materials this year, and said that if Su Shunci wanted to sell them, she could tell her.
Su Shunci felt flustered and suffocated, so she just agreed with him.
Fortunately, Bai Youxin didn't sit there for long and got up to say goodbye.
Su Shunci personally saw her off to the gate, watched Bai Youxin leave, and then returned to the study.
After entering the study, Jinyun said unhappily, "Miss, this young master of the Bai family, is he deliberately showing off to you?"
"Everyone can see that the third cousin is the best to the young lady. I think what she said may not be true."
Jinyun thought that his daughter would definitely marry into the Lin family. Who couldn't see what the third cousin was thinking?
But her young lady never came to her senses, and she got so anxious that she wanted to make things clear to her several times.
The young lady was young in the past, and now she has finally reached the age to get married, how come another Cheng Yaojin appears?
Su Shunci didn't hear what Jinyun said at all. She looked tense and ordered in a deep voice, "Grind the ink."
She had to write a letter to her third cousin, who said it was Lin'an Prefecture. She remembered that the Bai family was in Lin'an Prefecture.
That being said, my third cousin might have gone to propose marriage.
She wrote him a letter now and sent it through the Lin family. He would receive it soon and return to the capital.
She did not doubt Bai Youxin's words. No one would talk nonsense about such a thing.
Jinyun smoothed the paper for her and ground the ink.
Su Shunci picked up the wolf-hair brush beside him and started writing.
But after writing only the two words "cousin", his eyes suddenly became blurry. Then, bean-sized tears dripped onto the paper, blurring the two words.
She didn't even take out her handkerchief, but just raised her sleeve to wipe the corners of her eyes twice.
But I don’t know what’s going on, the more I wipe my tears, the more I cry.
Jinyun panicked immediately, took the pen from Su Shunci's hand and put it aside, then helped her sit down, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Su Shunci's mind was in a mess at this time, and she herself didn't know what was going on.
Lin Wuchen's figure kept appearing in her mind. Thinking that he was going to get married and marry Bai Youxin, she felt indescribably sad.
This was the first time that Su Shunci felt that she could not control her emotions.
It seemed that at this moment, her sorrow, joy, happiness and anger were all connected with Lin Wuchen.
She felt that this was not right and that what she should do was write a letter to her third cousin and ask him to return to Beijing as soon as possible.
So Su Shunci wiped her tears again and continued writing.
But normally they would talk to each other about whatever they wanted, but today she was hesitant and distant again.
As I was writing, I wondered if the previous sentence was too casual or if the wording was a bit unruly.
It took her more than a quarter of an hour to write this short letter.
She put the written letter into an envelope and asked someone to deliver it to Lin Wuchen.
After sending the letter, Su Shunci wanted to continue to count the accounts. But her hands on the abacus refused to obey her. Her fingertips were cold and trembling slightly.
Su Shunci got up and left Lin's Business, wanting to return to Prince Ning's Mansion, but was afraid that her two mothers would worry.
She went to Huajin Pavilion, but she didn't want the people below to notice her abnormality.
After getting in the car, Jinyun asked her three times where she was going before she said, "To the Shen family, let's go see our eldest sister."
Afraid that Su Qingyu would worry, she wiped her face specially and asked Jinyun to help her put on powder again.
He didn't get off the carriage until he saw nothing unusual.
Upon hearing that Su Shunci had arrived, Su Qingyu directly ordered someone to take her to the main banquet room.
The two sisters haven't seen each other for a few days, and Su Qingyu thought it would be a good opportunity to ask her what she thought about marriage.
She is fifteen this year, so the marriage cannot be delayed.
"My third cousin is leaving the capital today. Didn't he leave the house to you? How do you have time to come and see me?"
As soon as Su Shunci entered the room, Su Qingyu asked casually.
Su Shunci, who had already returned to normal, immediately had tears in her eyes when she heard the words "third cousin".
Especially when he saw Su Qingyu, the grievances and confusion deep in his heart burst out uncontrollably.
But remembering that her elder sister was still pregnant, Su Shunci looked up and blinked hard, then pretended to be casual and said, "I missed my elder sister, so I came to see her."
Su Qingyu immediately noticed that her tone was off, so she pulled her aside and asked, "Why are you speaking in that tone? Did you catch a cold?"
Su Shunci shook his head and lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Su Qingyu.
Su Qingyu looked past her and looked at Jinyun who was following behind her, "What's going on? Is your young lady sick or has she been wronged?"
Jinyun pursed his lips tightly, looking like he wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
Su Qingyu's face darkened. "What's going on? Tell me."
Jinyun then said, "Today, when the young lady was checking the accounts at Lin's Company, a young lady from the Bai family came. She said that she was going to Beijing to discuss marriage with her third cousin."
"Our young lady...is not very happy."
When Su Qingyu heard the words "Miss Bai", her heart skipped a beat.
After listening to Jinyun's subsequent words, I had some guesses in my mind.
She pulled Su Shunci to sit down and drove out all the servants.
"Ah Ci, tell me in detail what the young lady from the Bai family said."
Su Shunci told Su Qingyu everything that happened today. At the end, Su Shunci's voice choked with sobs.
"Big sister, I don't know what happened. After sending them away, I felt like something was blocking my heart."
"I know I shouldn't be like this. My third cousin's marriage is a happy event. But...but I just can't control myself."
After saying that, Su Shunci leaned on Su Qingyu's shoulder and burst into tears.
Not only because she felt wronged, but also because she was confused. She didn't know why she was like this, and she didn't know what to do in the future.
She had never experienced anything like this, nor had she ever experienced it because of anyone else.
