The little girl was chubby, dressed simply and neatly.
Although Su Yuan didn’t know her, she gave him a warm and friendly feeling.
It was a bit strange to say that, because the little girl’s expression and actions didn’t exactly show that.
She stood with her arms crossed, lazily leaning against the door frame, with a hint of coldness between her brows.
The triplets came running toward her.
At this moment, the coldness in her eyes melted.
She smiled slightly, revealing two cute dimples.
Su Yuan was momentarily dazed.
Then he saw a young nun walk over and take that chubby girl to Abbess Huijue’s meditation room.
Su Yuan guessed who she was.
She was the little girl from the Su family, the one who made the pastries that Abbess Huijue had introduced to them.
Su Yuan returned to the manor.
His eldest son, Su Mo, came up to him and noticed something seemed off about his father’s expression.
He hurriedly asked, “Father, what’s wrong? Did something happen to Abbess Huijue?”
Su Yuan shook his head, “No, Abbess is doing well.”
Su Mo personally handed him a cup of tea, “Then why……”
Su Yuan sat down, took the cup, and said thoughtfully, “I saw a little girl at the temple today, and she suddenly reminded me of Auntie.”
Su Mo smiled, “Oh? Does she look like grandaunt?”
“……It’s hard to say.”
Su Yuan found it difficult to describe.
If you said she looked like her, it didn’t quite seem right. But if you said she didn’t, the moment that girl smiled, the image of his aunt’s face and voice unconsciously surfaced in his mind.
Su Mo said, “Father, you must have missed grandaunt a lot.”
Su Yuan nodded, “Your grandmother passed away early, and your grandfather was rarely home. It was Auntie who raised me. When she died, I was already twelve, old enough to remember things clearly.”
Su Mo had never met his grandaunt, so his feelings were not as deep as Su Yuan’s.
However, as a son, he understood the respect his father had for her.
If not, he wouldn't care for Qin Yun, even treated Qin Yun better than his own son.
——
At the nunnery.
Su Xiaoxiao met Abbess Huijue again.
Compared to last time, Abbess Huijue looked even healthier, perhaps thanks to Aunt Fu’s health pills.
Su Xiaoxiao handed her the package that Aunt Fu had asked her to deliver.
Abbess Huijue kindly said, “It’s so kind of you to deliver these.”
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, “It’s nothing. Besides, you also helped me a lot by giving me this business opportunity, right?”
Abbess Huijue smiled and said, “I just casually mentioned it to them. Whether they chose you was their decision.”
Su Xiaoxiao replied, “Even so I still have to thank you!”
Abbess Huijue said, “Your younger brother has been wronged.”
“Huh?” Su Xiaoxiao was momentarily stunned, then realized that Abbess Huijue was referring to Su Ergou’s fight with Qin Yun.
She hummed and said, “It’s alright, he hit back.”
“Oh?” This time it was Abbess Huijue’s turn to be surprised.
Su Yuan had come by earlier and only mentioned that Qin Yun had bullied the boy from the Su family and felt bad about not taking better care of the people she introduced.
He didn’t mention anything wrong about Su Ergou.
The next second, Abbess Huijue burst into laughter.
Su Xiaoxiao: “……”
After Abbess Huijue had her fill of laughter, she said gleefully, “I can’t stand that brat. The Qin and Su families have spoiled him terribly. Your younger brother did well to give him a hit.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh.”
Abbess Huijue said, “Don’t worry, Qin Yun won’t dare to trouble you further, and even if he does, Su Yuan will keep him in check. They will be returning to the capital in a few days.”
Su Yuan.
Was it the name of the man from earlier?
Abbess Huijue said, “You all have the surname Su, it can be counted as fate.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “There is also a family surnamed Su in our village.”
