Early the next morning, Su Leyun went to school as usual.

After sitting down, before he could put down the four treasures of the study, Li Rui walked to her aggressively and stood still.

Su Leyun put the scroll on the case and took the pine smoke ink to grind it carefully without even looking at Li Rui.

Amelia Su looked on coldly from the side, the corners of her lips raised slightly.

The brothers and sisters from the same school were whispering to each other, and pairs of eyes were wandering around the two of them.

The legitimate daughter returned, and the beautiful girl Li Rui liked turned into a village girl. Today, the two of them didn't know what kind of commotion they were going to make.

Li Rui was silent for a long time, but finally couldn't stand it any longer, and opened his mouth with a contemptuous warning.

"Su Leyun, I will tell you clearly today that I will not marry you!"

The plain white fingertips held the ink stick and slowly rubbed it. Su Leyun concentrated on sharpening the ink. Without raising his head, he spoke softly and casually: "I can't get it."

Li Rui's face turned red, as if he had been punched on soft cotton, unable to move forward or retreat.

He had already spoken so harshly, shouldn't she be ashamed of herself, how could she still be so secure?

"Playing hard to get is useless to me. Su Leyun, even if you are the legitimate daughter, in terms of talent, education and appearance, you are not worthy of joining my Li family! I, Li Rui, will only marry Wan'er in my life!"

"Master Li can marry whomever he wants. It has nothing to do with me."

Su Leyun put down the ink stick, raised his eyes and glanced at Li Rui lightly. His eyes were clear and did not contain any anger.

She just didn't understand how she could fall in love with such an arrogant and stupid person in her previous life.

Li Rui had told her the same thing in his previous life. At that time, she felt like the world was falling apart. She went back to her room, hugged the quilt, and cried for three days without eating or drinking.

Listening to it now, one's heart can't make any waves.

Seeing that she didn't care, Li Rui became more and more embarrassed and his voice suddenly rose.

"If you still want the dignity of a daughter from a noble family, then put away those evil thoughts and stop pestering me!"

Su Leyun sighed, held his chin with one hand, and looked at Li Rui quietly, his red lips slightly parted.

"Mr. Li, right now, between you and me, who is the one who is so entangled?"

Everyone couldn't help but chuckle, and the whispers reached Li Rui's ears, making him more and more angry.

"He was just staying there, but he just wanted to go over and talk."

"People say they don't have any interest in him, but he doesn't accept it until it's good. Could it be that he still expects them to have that interest in him?"

With blood boiling in his head, Li Rui glared at Su Leyun viciously and said, "You'd better remember what you said today!" He returned to his seat angrily.

Su Wan'er's expression changed since Li Rui mentioned her name. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand and was secretly annoyed. He openly announced their relationship today, so how could she take the initiative if he found Gao Zhi in the future.

Su Leyun's sinister gaze fell on Su Leyun. Su Wan'er secretly wondered in her heart that a country girl actually ignored the young master of the Hanlin family. Did she really have no desire or did she have ulterior motives?

After school, Li Rui followed Su Waner closely. Su Leyun ignored them and went back to his yard. Before he entered the door, he heard a noise in the distance.

"This is my concubine's yard. There is no proof. You can search it just by asking!"

"The old lady has already spoken, but you dare to stop even one of your servants!"

Aunt Zhang stood at the entrance of the courtyard, blocking Aunt Zhao and the girls in front of the old lady from entering.

Su Leyun sneered, with a hint of coldness in the corner of his eyes. He said they were close relatives, but in fact he couldn't see her in the slightest.

"Mother Zhao, what do you want to do with these many people here?"

Su Leyun spoke loudly, raised her chin slightly, and slowly stood on the same side as Aunt Zhang. Her overall majesty was not inferior to that of a noble lady from Kyoto.

Aunt Zhao glanced at her and unconsciously became three points shorter, but she still managed to hold on.

"The jade bracelet inherited from the old lady's family is missing. I ordered my slaves to look around."

"Oh? Are you looking everywhere, or specifically here for me?"

Su Leyun's words were sarcastic, and he directly pointed out the purpose of Nanny Zhao's visit.

Aunt Zhao said with a smile on her face: "Second Miss, please don't embarrass me. The old lady has worn the jade bracelet for decades. She loves it the most. Otherwise, she will lose it if she throws it away."

Su Leyun sneered and used the old lady to suppress her.

"Since this thing is valuable, Aunt Zhao will take these people to look for it. When will we find it?"

She turned around and told Chun Xing to go find the housekeeper to find more people so that she could search the whole house thoroughly.

Chun Xing received the order, with a hint of schadenfreude on her brows, and ran out in small steps.

A country girl really thought of herself as the concubine of the Hou family. Not only was she embarrassed, but she was even kicked out of the house.

She put the bracelet on with her own hands, and she wanted to see what the concubine would use to clear her name this time.

Aunt Zhao frowned. With such a fuss, the old lady should blame her for not doing things well.

"Second Miss, there is no need to bother, we will search and leave."

After finishing her words, Nanny Zhang was about to force her way in when she was stopped.

"How presumptuous! Who allowed you to search my concubine's yard!"

With a hint of anger on her face, Sun Jiarou walked over quickly and protected Su Leyun.

"Mama Zhao is an old man in the house. Why is she so ignorant that she will search the yard of my daughter-in-law when something is lost? If there is any gossip tomorrow that will harm the reputation of my daughter-in-law, you can bear the responsibility!"

Sun Jiarou spoke breathlessly and pointed at Aunt Zhao with a trembling index finger, showing that she was really out of breath.

"Daughter-in-law, are you blaming me too?"

The old lady walked from the verandah holding Su Wan'er's hand with a gloomy look on her face.

Su Wan'er lowered her eyebrows and looked gentle, but the corners of her lips were slightly raised in a place invisible to others.

"My daughter-in-law doesn't dare."

Sun Jiarou bowed and then held Su Leyun's hand tightly, giving it a comforting squeeze.

"As long as your mother is here, you will not let others tarnish your reputation."

Su Leyun saw the words in her eyes clearly, smiled faintly, and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

Sun Jiarou took a deep breath and spoke slowly after calming down.

"My daughter-in-law has undoubtedly offended my mother-in-law. It's just that you have lost your beloved thing and just searching Yun'er's yard is afraid of damaging her reputation."

The most important thing for a daughter's family is their reputation. If they really let them search her today, no matter what the result is, Su Leyun will not be able to escape the reputation of being a thief.

The old lady frowned and hesitated slightly. Upon seeing this, Su Waner immediately explained timidly.

"Mom, grandma is just worried about my sister. She is afraid that the servants in her yard have bad character and may not harm her."

There has always been peace in the house, not to mention jewelry, not even a drop of needlework, and the girls and boys in Su Leyun's yard are all born in the same family.

These words clearly alluded to the two girls given by my grandfather, whose hands and feet were unclean.

"Mother-in-law, those two girls are..."

Su Leyun tugged on Sun Jiarou's sleeve and signaled her not to say more. Moving her grandfather out at this time would not only unintentionally resolve the matter, but would intensify the conflict between the Sun and Su houses.

"There is nothing my grandma can't find in my granddaughter's yard, but what should I do if I can't find the jade bracelet?"
