The porter was hit with a problem and had to run to communicate the message immediately.
After waiting for a while, Su Huan, the fourth girl of the Su family, arrived.
Su Huan is half a year younger than Su Jin, and she just had haircuts two months ago. All the girls in the Su family are good-looking. Su Huan is the firstborn of the second wife, not as beautiful as Su Jin, but she is also a beautiful girl.
Gao Pingping and Su Jin are good friends, and he and Su Huan often meet each other and are familiar with each other.
"Sister Gao," Su Huan's voice was thin and gentle: "The servant in the house was reckless and rude. I have already taught him a lesson. Sister Gao, don't be angry. Please come in quickly."
Yes, this is the way to treat guests. There is no reason to open your mouth to drive away guests.
Gao Pingping felt much better and followed Su Huan into the Su Mansion.
Su Huan said in a soft voice: "Third cousin has been ill for these days and has been resting in the boudoir. I will lead Sister Gao to go there. However, Third cousin is weak and cannot stay. It is disrespectful to Gao.
Sister, thank you for your kindness."
With that said, he led Gao Pingping into Su Jin's boudoir.
There was a strong medicinal smell in the room.
Su Jin was pale and haggard, much thinner, with a sick look on her face. It was obviously spring, and it was warm outside. Su Jin's body was still covered with quilts. Not even her fingertips were exposed. The moment she saw her cousin Su Huan, Su Jin
Jin's eyes darkened.
Su Huan said softly: "Third cousin, the Gao family's sister is here to see you."
Gao Pingping was startled and blurted out: "Sister Su, why are you so sick?"
Su Jin forced out a bitter smile and weakly responded: "Thank you, Sister Gao, for coming to see me."
Gao Pingping and Su Jin have been friends for many years. Seeing her sickly appearance, Gao Pingping felt heartbroken and pitied him. He reached out to brush the hair from Su Jin's cheeks, and then went to hold Su Jin's hand.
Su Jin shrank her hands into the quilt.
However, Gao Pingping had quick eyes and quick hands and had already grabbed Su Jin's hand. Then, he immediately realized that something was wrong. Su Jin's wrist was wrapped with thick gauze.
"Sister Su, what's wrong with your wrist?" Gao Pingping frowned.
Su Jin said nothing.
Su Huan on the side answered on her behalf: "A few days ago, when the maid was serving, I accidentally broke the medicine bowl and scalded my third cousin's wrist. I had to apply medicine to bandage the wound."
Gao Pingping frowned even more tightly and stared into Su Jin's eyes: "Is it really a burn?"
Su Jin's eyes were filled with water and she whispered: "Yes."
Su Huan opened her mouth again and said: "How dare I lie to Sister Gao about this kind of thing..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gao Pingping: "We don't need you to accompany us when we talk. You can go first!"
Su Huan: "..."
Su Huan's smile suddenly froze, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Seeing this, Su Jin felt that most of the sullenness that had accumulated in her heart for a long time suddenly dissipated.
Of the five cousins, she and Su Huan are the closest in age, so naturally they are often compared. Su Huan is inferior to her in everything, and Empress Su and the prince's cousin have a lot of preference for her. Su Huan is overshadowed by the comparison.
Huan, I don’t know how much suffocation I was holding in my heart.
Now, Su Huan turned around and felt proud.
The Meng family and the Su family had a verbal engagement, and they were just waiting to come to propose marriage. The young talent of the new Jinshi was nothing, the important thing was that he was Su Jin's sweetheart.
Just because of this, Su Huan felt very happy.
Su Jin was grounded and had her wrists cut with a gold hairpin, and now she is really sick. Su Huan pretended to be "accompanying" her often. He deliberately dangled in front of her eyes, always reminding her that her sweetheart would be snatched away.
the fact...
Gao Pingping's unintentional move really made her feel bad.
"Grandma specifically asked me to stay with you and not to neglect Sister Gao." Su Huan refused to leave and used her elders as a shield: "Sister Gao, just say whatever you want. I will just keep quiet."
This is indeed Mrs. Su's order.
Such methods of tormenting people are nothing to Mrs. Su.
In fact, Su Jin would not talk nonsense even if Su Huan was not around. The matter involved the Tian family and her personal relationship with the Meng family's cousin, so how could she say it out loud.
When Gao Pingping was unhappy, he never gave anyone face, and said with a straight face: "I don't want irrelevant people to listen to what I say. You get out."
Su Huan blushed with anger and had to get up and leave. Before leaving, he gave Su Jin a special look and said angrily: "If third cousin has any thoughts, don't hide them, just talk to her."
Sister Gao, tell me."
As soon as Su Huan left, the room finally became quiet.
Gao Pingping's frown relaxed. She looked at the pale Su Jin and said in a rare soft voice: "Sister Su, do you have something to hide? Just tell me, I can help.
Never refuse."
Su Jin was silent for a long time, then whispered: "It's nothing. I'm just sick and weak. I can just take care of myself and I'll be fine."
Gao Pingping frowned: "I'm most afraid of you being like this. If you have anything to say, can't you just say it directly? If you have to hesitantly, I won't be able to guess what you are thinking."
Su Jin forced a smile: "Sister Gao, I'm really fine. Don't make random suspicions."
Gao Pingping stared at Su Jin.
Su Jin forced to hold back her smile.
After a long while, Gao Pingping sighed: "That's all, if you don't want to say it, I won't force you. In short, no matter what happens, you must take care of yourself first."
"The sky will not fall, and there will be no obstacles in the world that cannot be overcome. When you encounter unpleasant things, just think of me. Even if you are divorced, you will still be fine!"
Gao Pingping spent half his life's patience.
Su Jin's eyes were hot and she choked with sobs.
Gao Pingping sighed again: "I went to the Zhao Mansion today. I never thought that Sister Zhao was sick and went to the farm. You are also so sick."
Su Jin was startled: "Is Sister Zhao also sick?"
Gao Pingping nodded. He sat for a while and chatted for a while before getting up and leaving.
After Gao Pingping left, Su Jin covered her face with her wide sleeves and cried silently.
The door was suddenly pushed open.
A disgustingly familiar soft voice sounded: "Why are third cousins crying?"
Su Jin quickly wiped the tears on her face and said with a straight face: "I don't want to see you, go out."
Su Huan came over hypocritically: "I care about you too, why are you so cold and cold-hearted?"
He also deliberately stabbed Su Jin in the heart: "Third cousin is a very lucky person. She will marry into the East Palace and become the crown princess. My sister is far behind. My future husband will be a new scholar. In the future, he will be an official and a scholar.
Mr. Sesame, I will have to be shameless in the future and ask my third cousin and the prince’s brother-in-law to take care of me..."
"Su Huan!" Su Jin interrupted Su Huan suddenly, with a cold face: "If you keep talking, I guarantee you will regret it in the future..."
Su Huan: "..."
Looking at Su Jinsen's cold features, Su Huan felt chills in his heart.
