Chapter 192 Cannon Fodder Wife (14)
Some of the ladies who were quick to react had already realized it.
She had her hair in a bun, but her husband's family was not introduced. It was either because her husband's family was not as good as her original family, or... it was intentional.
Sui Yu pursed her lips slightly, a little shy but polite, "I am Sui Yu, the only daughter of the Sui family, and I am now married to the Lin family."
Lin family? Which Lin family?
The Lin family is a large clan, and there are countless officials with the surname "Lin" in Shengjing. The people present did not realize which Lin family it was.
Sui Yu didn't socialize much, so these introductions were too brief, so Yan Qingyue calmly made up for it.
"I saw Lady Sui's carriage when I came over from East Chang'an Street, but we didn't get to talk until we got to the Princess's Mansion. I was so anxious."
East Chang'an Street, close to the imperial palace, has only one member of the Lin family, Lin Shuwei, who lives separately from the main branch of the Lin family.
There were slight hisses from the crowd.
Lin Shuwei has always been one of the new husbands that the noble ladies in Shengjing wanted to choose. Not only is his appearance, figure, family background, and talent all good, but the Lin family also has an ancestral precept not to take concubines easily.
It would have been fine if he had quietly married a woman they had no impression of a few months ago, but now that he was in person, even the women who had previously been somewhat critical of him couldn't help but feel ashamed.
No wonder Lord Lin wanted to marry her so quietly and quickly. If he had been a little slower, the matchmaker would have trampled down the threshold of the Sui Mansion.
Princess Duanyang, noticing everyone's attention had drifted away, quickly brought the conversation back to the main topic. "The higher the ribbon is hung, the more blessings we will receive in the new year. I saw Lady Sui almost climbing a tree earlier. I think this is the best year yet."
"How about you help me tie this silk ribbon around my belt, so that others can share in the good fortune."
As she spoke, she handed over the silk ribbon that she and Yan Qingyue had previously woven together, with a gentle expression.
Sui Yu was startled for a moment, then realized what was happening and wanted to refuse, "This..."
"I think this is fate sent by heaven. It just so happens that this is the first time that Madam Sui has come back to the Princess's residence to attend this farewell flower party. She has received such a great blessing. It is really enviable."
Yan Qingyue interrupted and secretly gave Sui Yu a wink.
Sui Yu took it with a faint smile.
Then we climbed up to enjoy the scenery and saw countless colorful silk ribbons dancing in the wind, illuminated by the thin sunlight, looking like graceful swimming fish.
After dealing with a series of things, Sui Yu felt exhausted when she got on the carriage back home. She was about to fall into the soft mattress with her eyes half closed.
Yan Qingyue caught her halfway, half hugged her and forced her to open her eyes. "Tell me why Princess Duanyang treated you so differently today."
She was sent away for no reason, just to weave silk ribbons together for something insignificant.
Moreover, he was so eager to make friends with Sui Yu. Although it was not obvious, one could naturally feel it a little bit when he was there.
All these things indicate that there seems to be something about Sui Yu that is worth pursuing, and that is worth Princess Duanyang putting aside her pride and communicating with her in a friendly manner.
Sui Yu was so exhausted that she nestled against her neck, acting coquettishly and softly. Her tone was so soft and sweet that it almost oozes honey. "Then I still want to ask why you asked me to answer the princess' question."
"The princess is doing you a favor, are you going to offend her in person?" Yan Qingyue said angrily.
Sui Yu rolled her eyes and thought about it, and it was true. Feeling a little guilty, she hugged Yan Qingyue without saying a word.
"Don't even think about running away. I don't know you yet. I didn't accept the princess's request today because I was afraid of the trouble that would come later. But sometimes trouble just can't be turned away, Yaoyao."
Sui Yu listened in a daze, responded vaguely, and soon fell asleep sweetly on her body.
Yan Qingyue sighed silently, and finally did not wake her up again. She picked up the notebook aside and flipped through it casually.
Night slowly fell, and when Sui Yu woke up again, she was already lying on her own bed in the Lin residence.
Behind a screen, the maids came in and out, making very little noise.
Sui Yu was just half-closing her eyes and daydreaming when she saw Lin Shuwei coming in through the curtain. She was wearing a jade-white gown and her hair was still slightly damp.
The pearl necklace hooked a few strands of his hair and let them fall down, making the usually gentlemanly man, who was covered in moisture, even more alluring.
Especially those eyes that were filled with boiling water, just looking at her like that made Sui Yu feel a tingling sensation on her back.
Lin Shuwei is... so different today.
Sui Yu half-leaned on the edge of the bed, stared at him for a long while, then tried to get up with her eyelashes trembling, but was grabbed by the shoulders by Lin Shuwei who strode over.
With a soft pillow stuffed behind her, Sui Yu leaned against the head of the bed with the man's support.
During this time, the man's wet hair fell on her waist and abdomen, not wetting her clothes, but revealing the chill of late spring. Sui Yu pinched it in her fingertips and penetrated straight into her body.
Xiaoxiao shivered slightly, and Lin Shuyi noticed it. "Are you cold?"
A bowl of warm honey water, which had just dried, was passed to her lips. Lin Shuwei's voice was shrouded in moisture, making it particularly captivating. "You've been feeling a little unwell these past few days. Don't be stubborn. Wear more clothes."
Sui Yu sipped the honey water in small sips, her eyes sparkling. She turned her head away when she didn't want to drink it anymore. Lin Shuyi didn't mind and drank the remaining honey water in one gulp.
"My husband is a little different today." Sui Yu pulled two strands of wet hair from the ends of his hair, twisted them around her fingertips and fiddled with them like a toy.
Lin Shuwei put down the cup and teacup. A smile crossed his face as he heard this, his voice gentle and deep. "Oh? Then tell me, Suisui, what's different about me today?"
Sui Yu's eyes flickered slightly, a teasing smile flashed across her face, and she leaned over to get closer to Lin Shuwei, "My husband looks especially delicious today."
Sui Yu said this sentence in a thousand ways, especially the last two words, which were so lingering and alluring that they almost made eighteen turns in one's ears.
Lin Shuwei was indeed stunned by her short words. He froze while half hugging Sui Yu, and it took him a while to react.
His bride is usually shy and reserved even in bed, so why would she say such things today?
