After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 275 Dongguo Wolf

"If Lord Su is not afraid of the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf, or the resentment that comes after receiving a small favor, then it might be worthwhile to cultivate him."

Song Lan smiled and said, "After all, we still need him to maintain the relationship with the newly appointed ghost messenger in the West Market."

"Lord Su knows what he's doing and just needs to be mindful of the limits."

Su Wenheng had already given up on the idea of ​​taking Liu Tian as his apprentice.

Hearing this, he hesitated again.

What exactly did Song Lan mean by those words?
Does he want Liu Tian to become his apprentice, or does he not?

Unfortunately, Song Lan showed no intention of answering his questions.

Instead, once they saw that they seemed to be alright, they served tea and saw them off.

Tan Ci and Su Wenheng still had some things they didn't understand, but they had no choice but to get up and take their leave.

As they were about to leave, Song Lan suddenly said, "Madam Su, why don't you stay today?"

"The night is long, and Liu Wu is an outsider, so it's not appropriate for him to come into my room to keep me company. So, Madam Su, please stay and keep me company, just to relieve my boredom!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Tan Ci and Su Wenheng: "Madam Tan and Lord Su, you shouldn't be reluctant to part with them, right?"

Tan Ci and Su Wenheng looked at each other in bewilderment.

Can they say no?
Of course not!
only……

Tan Ci and Su Wenheng were both unsure of what to do and looked at Su Xianyun.

Although our family is not considered wealthy, but just an ordinary family of minor officials, we are currently renting even our house.

Buying a house is really too difficult. With only Su Wenheng's meager salary and the income from Tan Ci's dowry shop, he has only saved half of the money to buy a house so far.

But he never mistreated his daughter.

While not exactly pampered, she was certainly spoiled and pampered growing up.

Where have I ever worked as a night watchman?
During those years at the An family, Su Xianyun was bullied, but she was never treated like a maid.

Su Xianyun was also a little nervous. She thought the same as her mother and father: Song Lan's sudden request to keep her around to talk and make fun of her must mean that he wanted her to take over the job of the night watch maid.

This is also to be expected.

A life-saving grace should be repaid with one's body, so it's only natural that Song Lan would ask her to stay by his side and serve him like a slave.

However, she had never done any servant's work before, and she was really uneasy.

Seeing the looks in her mother's and father's eyes, she knew the unease in their hearts.

Not wanting her elders to worry about her, Su Xianyun took a deep breath, mustered her courage, stepped forward, and knelt down, saying, "I am naturally willing to serve by my benefactor's side."

After speaking, he solemnly bowed deeply to Tan Ci and Su Wenheng, as if he were saying goodbye.

"Mother, Father, don't worry about your daughter."

As they spoke, the three of them suddenly had tears in their eyes.

Song Lan felt that they had misunderstood something.

But it doesn't matter; she's too lazy to explain.

As long as the people stay, that's fine.
-
After seeing her mother and father off, Su Xianyun was filled with anxiety.

I had dinner with Liu Guixiang and Liu Wu.

There was also a cold-faced Taoist priest.

Su Xianyun didn't dare to take too much food, constantly wondering if she should stand behind Song Lan and observe her expressions more carefully when serving him food.

But Aunt Guixiang kept talking to her warmly, serving her food and soup.

She was also worried that if she got up and walked behind Song Lan at this moment, she would be going against Aunt Guixiang's good intentions.

She was even more worried that being too different from others would make her benefactor seem like a demanding person.

Su Xianyun was extremely conflicted, feeling unspeakable bitterness and tasting the meal as if it were tasteless.
