Chapter 128 Su Nian'an
Seeing the bewildered look on Lin's face, Su Yinyin's heart softened. "Get up!"
Deep down, Su Yinyin disliked kowtowing at the drop of a hat. So when Lin kowtowed to her just now, Su Yinyin was very disgusted.
In an instant, Su Yinyin understood. The Lin family lived at the very bottom of society, and this social class was entrenched. Furthermore, the Lin family was a woman, so Su Yinyin could understand.
After Su Yinyin helped Lin Shi up, she slowly said, "Sister, now that you've entered the Su family, although it's a family reunion, there are many rules in the household, so you must not act rashly." Lin Shi obediently nodded in agreement.
Su Yinyin then pointed to Su Yue and introduced her, "This is your twin sister, Su Yue."
Lin looked at Su Yue, and Su Yue looked at Lin. They were both sizing each other up.
Su Yue thought Lin was very beautiful. She wondered if she would look like that once she recovered. Everyone said twins look alike.
Looking at Su Yue, Lin thought to herself, "How did my sister become so thin? She must have suffered so much!" Lin had initially felt resentful, angry, and hateful about her own fate. But seeing her sister's appearance, Lin suddenly felt relieved.
Lin stepped forward and hugged Su Yue. She felt a sense of kinship with Su Yue, as they shared the same plight. Su Yinyin, on the other hand, seemed aloof and difficult to get along with.
The old lady watched the two embrace and said meaningfully, "Yinyin, you've had a long and arduous journey!"
Su Yinyin understood her grandmother's meaning and said, "It's okay to work hard. As long as she's my own sister, I'll treat her the same. But if she tries to harm me or anyone else in the family, I'll cripple her."
Madam Lin was clever enough to know that everything was meant for her, so she immediately declared, "Grandmother, sisters, I will not be the kind of person who betrays her family. I have relied on my grandmother since I was a child, and I will cherish this and live up to everyone's expectations!"
Su Yinyin patted Lin Shi's shoulder and said, "Okay, I believe you."
Then he said to the old lady, "Grandmother, let's name her!"
The old lady nodded slightly, her eyes filled with affection. "Now that you have acknowledged your sister, you will take the Su family surname and be called Su Nian'an. May you have a peaceful and prosperous future."
Lin, who is now Su Nian'an, bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, maternal grandmother, for bestowing this name upon me."
At this moment, Su Yue took Su Nian'an's hand and said with a smile, "Sister Nian'an, we'll live in the same courtyard from now on, so we can take care of each other."
Su Yinyin frowned slightly, "Yue'er, you are still weak. You should take care of your health first. Nian'an is new here, so she should first learn the etiquette and rules of the mansion from the nanny."
Su Nian'an quickly said, "Sister is right. I will study hard and not cause any trouble for you sisters."
Su Yinyin called Li Lan back from the doorway, "Lanlan, come quickly and greet your cousin Su Nian'an."
Li Lan walked in and, seeing everyone's expressions, knew that the matter was basically resolved. She then sweetly greeted, "Sister Nian'an, I'm Li Lan, your cousin."
Su Nian'an smiled and replied to Li Lan, "Lan-meimei is so cute."
Su Yinyin glanced at the sky and said, "We've been through a lot today, everyone's tired! Fifth brother, please call Biyu here for me."
Su Nian'an frowned as she saw Su Yinyin giving instructions towards the main gate. She wondered who her sister was talking to. Besides them, who else could it be?
A moment later, Biyu arrived. "Miss, what can I do for you?"
Su Yinyin introduced Su Nian'an: "Nian'an, this is Biyu. She will stay by your side until you find a suitable maid. If you don't understand anything, you can ask her. She will be in charge of your daily life now."
"Biyu, this is the Third Miss. Take her to choose a courtyard she likes. The furnishings inside should all be arranged according to her preferences."
Su Yinyin instructed Biyu, then turned to Su Nian'an and said, "Nian'an, take a shower and get some rest. We'll see you later."
After thanking Su Yinyin, Su Nian'an bid a reluctant farewell to the old lady and the others, and then left with Biyu.
Along the way, Biyu introduced the layout of the mansion to Su Nian'an.
Su Nian'an seemed to be listening attentively, but in her heart she was thinking about Su Yinyin's instructions to the outside of the gate, and she felt that there was something strange about it.
When they arrived at the courtyard selection area, Su Nian'an didn't have the mind to choose carefully; she simply pointed to a relatively quiet courtyard at random.
Upon entering the courtyard, Biyu busied herself arranging for the servants to clean and tidy up.
Su Nian'an asked Biyu which courtyard Su Yinyin and her maternal grandmother lived in, so that she could rest for a while and go keep her grandmother company.
Biyu pointed in one direction and said, "The young lady lives over there."
Su Nian'an felt uncomfortable and a little scared because Biyu spoke so coldly. She didn't dare to ask any more questions.
After Su Yinyin, the old lady, and the others returned to the villa, the old lady asked, "Yinyin, what's your opinion?"
Su Yinyin expressed her thoughts: "Grandmother, the Marquis's mansion is too complicated. It seems that there is an invisible hand controlling everything."
The old lady sighed, "It seems we have to be careful. If I had been more cautious back then, your mother wouldn't have died unjustly."
"Grandmother, Grandmother!" Su Yinyin and the other two stepped forward to surround the old lady and comfort her.
After the old lady calmed down, Su Yinyin comforted her, "Grandmother, please don't worry. We will avenge Mother! You must take good care of yourself and live longer than those bad people so that you can see their fate."
Grandmother, but as for that new third sister, I wonder if she's trustworthy.
The old lady pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's observe for now."
Su Yue didn't understand what the old lady and Su Yinyin meant! She asked, "Sister, are you saying she's not our sister?"
Su Yinyin patiently explained, "She is definitely our younger sister, but whether she is on our side remains to be seen."
"Your sister just corrected you about her invitation; it wasn't that she wanted to discipline you. You shouldn't have any contact with her alone until you've ascertained her intentions."
Su Yue nodded as if she understood, but in her heart, listening to her sister was the right thing to do.
Su Yinyin entrusted Li Lan with the important task of keeping an eye on Su Yue: "Lanlan, when I'm not home, you must protect your grandmother and Yueyue, especially Yueyue. She's naive, so don't let her be deceived."
Li Lan nodded earnestly, "Don't worry, Sister Yinyin, I will definitely protect Grandma and Yueyue. But speaking of which, where is my baby?"
Su Yinyin casually replied, "Oh, baby went to train and won't be back for another two days!"
The old lady said worriedly, "Yinyin, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but how can you let such a young child go out and experience things? What if he encounters bad people?" Thinking of those little ones being bullied by bad people, her heart ached.
Su Yinyin couldn't help but say something discouraging: "Grandmother, don't worry, even if five uncles come at the same time, they still can't beat Bao Bao."
