When he saw her face, Su Wan confirmed his suspicion.
Sure enough, it was Mimi. Her face was still beautiful after so many years, and her facial features became more profound and mature. If it weren't for her thin figure, under normal circumstances, she would be that kind of exotic beauty.
When Mimi saw Su Wan, surprise appeared on her face.
It was the girl who saved him with General Su that year.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Su Chen stood up and greeted Shen Qingli:
"Sister-in-law, her name is Mimi. She is the princess of the former leader of the Wuya tribe. She was born as a concubine. I was on the front line and accidentally fell into the enemy camp. Fortunately, she saved me by killing her relatives and passed on the information. On the day when the Holy Spirit made the judgment, I spared her life, but was demoted to a slave status. Today on the street, she was sold by her original owner, who wanted to send her to a brothel, so I took action to redeem her and asked my sister-in-law to look at her past. For the sake of helping me, please arrange a random job for her in the house so that she can have a place to stay temporarily!"
Su Chen's move was quite reasonable. Shen Qingli couldn't refuse this request.
But she still looked at Su's mother and Su Wan, asking for their opinions.
When Su's mother heard that she had saved her son, her heart softened, and she felt a little pitiful when she looked at her. It was obvious that she agreed.
Su Wan nodded. Since he has a favor, he must repay it and give him a place to stay. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, he can accept it.
Shen Qingli thought for a while and then looked at Mimi:
"There is still a shortage of handymen in the kitchen, so you can go to work in the kitchen. Aunt Lin, please make arrangements. Wait for her to wash up and change clothes, and then get some food and water. Let her rest for two days before doing anything. .”
Shen Qingli was very attentive. Considering her status, she naturally couldn't arrange for her to appear in places like the front yard or garden where she could meet guests, so it was only convenient for the kitchen.
For a girl, working in the kitchen may be a little inappropriate, but it is enough to get settled. It is always easy to do some dishes and sweep the floor.
Mimi worked as a slave girl for a period of time. After suffering many bullying and cold looks, she also learned some ways to survive.
The first rule is to learn to please and bow your head.
She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Mother Su and Shen Qingli.
"Thank you madam for taking me in, Mimi is very grateful, and thank you General Su for saving me."
Mimi was always grateful to have escaped the fate of going to a brothel.
"You are kind to third brother, and we should take you in. It's just that your status is quite special now, so we can only arrange for you to work in the kitchen. I hope you won't complain."
Shen Qingli must make it clear in advance that since she is a slave, she must act like a slave. She is indeed kind to Su Chen, but Su Chen also saved her from dire straits just now. Now the Su family has taken her in, but she It is inconvenient to appear in front of others, and you must be self-aware.
"I understand, madam." Mimi lowered her head, her big tears falling to the ground.
Only then did Nanny Lin take her away first.
After she left, Su Wan asked Su Chen:
"Third brother, how could she be sold a second time?" As far as she knew, a slave would only be sold a second time if he made a mistake.
Su Chen's expression was tangled, as if it was difficult to say:
"People in the dental shop said that she was accused by the mistress of the original owner's family of seducing the owner, so she made a pretext of bribing the back house and sold her to a brothel. I was patrolling the street and happened to see her struggling to escape, so I took her She was rescued, but I don’t know where to arrange for her to go, so I can only bring her back.”
It turns out that Su Wan would rather believe that it was the owner of the family who was plotting against her, rather than her intention to seduce him, and it didn't look like it.
"Looking at how she was born, it doesn't look like she can live a stable life. If she doesn't go to others, others will take the initiative to trouble her. Hey, she was born in the wrong child, there's nothing we can do about it."
Mother Su could only sigh like this.
Not long after, Grandma Lin also came back, and Shen Qingli gave her additional instructions:
"Mommy, you and the people in the kitchen should be vigilant. Try not to let her walk around the front yard on weekdays, especially when there are guests. She has a special status. Don't ruin the general's reputation, but don't be mean to others on weekdays. ,do you know?"
"I know, madam, I will tell you." Nanny Lin replied with a smile, standing on her left side consciously.
Seeing how she handled it, Mother Su nodded with satisfaction.
It would be nice to have a reliable and sensible daughter-in-law.
At that time, Mrs. Shen was worried that her daughter was alone in the Su Mansion, so she arranged for a capable nanny to accompany her. When she got married, she had to have a confidant to help her. Although there might not be any need for intrigue in the Su family, but on weekdays It’s okay to help share your worries and solve problems.
Every family has trivial matters to deal with, and many of them are hidden dangers if not handled properly.
Shen Qingli is thoughtful and knows how to consider everyone in the family. If it were Zhao Xiyun in the original work, he would probably cause a quarrel and scold Su Chen for bringing some cats and dogs home to attract attention and drive people out.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Su Chen stood up again to greet her.
"You're welcome, we are all a family, why should we be so indifferent?" Shen Qingli covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled.
…
In the afternoon, Su Wan went to meet Qiuniang. The meeting place was no longer a restaurant, but a small house bought by Qiuniang herself in Kyoto.
I took Liuyun Liuying to find this place. The courtyard I entered was about the same size as Jiang Yu's Furong Villa, but it was well-kept inside, with flowers and plants trimmed neatly. There were only a few maids and servants cleaning the courtyard.
Su Wan went to the front yard and saw no one. Then he went to the back yard and stood under the round arch, just in time to see this scene.
Qiuniang was lying on the deck chair in the yard, and Feng Ying carried a plate of fruits to her one by one.
"How's it going? Is it to your liking this time?"
"It would be nice if it could be a little more sour." Qiuniang said, then she stuffed another mouthful of dried sour apricots into her mouth.
Feng Ying watched her take one mouthful after another, and felt that the saliva in his mouth was secreting rapidly, and his brows were about to pinch ants.
He quickly noticed that there were several eyes looking at them. The sharp person turned around and shot over, and found that the person coming was Miss Su.
He quickly put away his seriousness and stood up.
"The princess is here!"
When Qiuniang heard that Su Wan was coming, she climbed up from the chair. Seeing this, Feng Ying quickly reached out to help her.
"Slow down, slow down."
"My boss is here, sit down quickly. Do you want to eat sour apricots and sour plum cakes?"
Today's Qiuniang has taken off her heavy makeup and looks gentle and pure.
As we got closer, the air was filled with the smell of dried apricots and plum cakes, which smelled sour.
"You have it?"
Su Wan boldly guessed that various signs proved that Qiu Niang was pregnant, otherwise why would Feng Ying be so nervous about her and still feel so sore about her.
Qiuniang didn't expect Su Wan to be so direct, so she simply nodded.
"It's been almost a month, and I've been very sick recently." Qiuniang touched her belly lovingly.
"It's pretty fast, Kazekage. It's only been less than three months, right?"
It was indeed less than three months since he followed Jiang Yu down from the front line, and even the child was one month old.
