That rare tranquillity was broken as soon as a young maid hired by her second uncle came rushing to her courtyard. " Madam Su, there are two people standing outside the house, saying that they are your mother and younger brother, they introduced themselves as Madam Chu and Master Su Yu Cheng, should I let them in or should I send them away?"
Su Wan was sipping the oolong tea that Lin Rui sent from the prefectural city when she heard what the little maid said, immediately the sweet tea turned extremely sour as she turned to look at the young maid, whose body was slightly bowed. " What did you say? Who is standing outside the house?" Surely she heard wrong right? After being taught such a good lesson by her, the Su family wouldn't dare to look for her, especially that cowardly Madam Chu.
" Its Madam Chu and Master Su Yu Cheng, they said that they are your family members and want to see you as soon as possible," the maid once again replied, she was calm while she was saying this given she knew that even if her madam was to get angry with the arrival of these people, she will never take her anger out on her.
" They really came?" Su Wan wasn't surprised that the Su family came looking for her, in fact, given that they have been living in less than comfortable conditions these days, she sort of expected them to come but she believed that the person who will come looking for her would be her so-called father and her grandmother, she never expected Madam Chu whose guts were tinier than a mouse, to come looking for her in person.
She placed her teacup down and looked at the young maid before asking, " Did you invite them in?"
" No Madam," the maid shook her head as she wittily replied. " We will not allow anyone inside the house without your permission."
Seeing that the maid was smart, Su Wan nodded and praised her, " You are very wise."
" Thank you, madam," the maid was of course very wise, she was carefully chosen and trained by the servants of Shen Zizhen's mansion. She knew what she could and could not do in the presence of her masters, " So should I invite them or tell them that you are asleep?"
Su Wan really didn't want to see either Madam Chu or Su Yu Cheng but she also knew that if the two of them came looking for her, they wouldn't return that easily, if she refused to see them then surely they will make a ruckus outside the house. Their family was still relatively new to this locality, it wouldn't be good for her if she was to let them make noise outside the house, what was more she wanted to know why the two of them came here, so she nodded and said, " Bring them in and send number one and number two, tell them that some unidentified guests are coming to see me, so I need them to come and watch over them."
Number one and number two were her personal guards, though Su Wan really disliked the idea of being guarded throughout the entire day. Her entire family including her husbands were bent on shoving the two guards by her side, the two men were silent to the point that they faded into the background but Su Wan would still feel their glares pointed at the back of her head, that was why she sometimes sent them away when she wanted to relax but now that the Su family was here, it was time for her to bring her guards out.
" Yes Madam," the maid bowed her head slightly before she turned around and walked out of the courtyard, after she was gone, a ball of grey fur with a white underbelly came prancing inside Su Wan's courtyard, seeing the haughty profile of the little cat, Su Wan's lips curled slightly as she said, " Little meow, you seem to have eaten something good huh, look at that smug look in your eyes."
Under her wonderful care, little meow had grown up into a more agile and chubby little cat but even if he looked a lot cuter now, he was a lot more vicious than before. Lin Chen who was often targeted by little meow as a human scratch post knew the vicious streak of this little ball of cuteness a little too well—— little meow ignored her words instead he arched his back and jumped on Su Wan's lap, ever since she has gotten pregnant little meow had become a lot more protective that before, it could be said that he was so protective that he wouldn't let any of her husbands near her and by any chance, if they tried to kiss or hug her and were caught by little meow, then it would mean being chased around the courtyard for an hour or so.
Lin Chen who strictly believed that kissing Su Wan was worth being scratched by the ball of menace had the most scratches on his back and face but now that Madam Chu and Su Yu Cheng were coming, Su Wan was sure that this record of Lin Chen will soon be broken by them.
Su Wan ran her fingers through the soft coat of little meow and said, " Little meow, now two people will come looking for me, they are the ones who used to bully me a lot, so if you see them trying to bully me then don't hold back as you do with Ah Chen, scratch them with all your might and make sure that they know their place from the next time."
" Meow," the cat turned his head up and looked at Su Wan with a slightly menacing look in his eyes as if to say—— ' That goes without saying, why do you think I came looking for you?' The little cat even flexed his claws as if preparing himself to lunge and take down the enemy in one clean sweep.
'Bullying my master, humph, let's see if you are worthy first or not.'
Ps: send me powerstones and gifts!! And see how hard I will work !
