Thirteenth Lady's Comback: Her Everyday Life as a Bystander-Chapter 227 - 10: Parting Sentiments (Part 1)_3

Susu thought about it and decided to first prepare the contraceptive incense.

On the third day, traditionally, one should return home. But since Susu had no parents, there were only a few servants at home. So on that day, Susu took Hong Sheng to walk around the house where she got married, and then they directly went to the Shun’an Earl Mansion to visit the Old Madam.

The two of them received a warm welcome when they arrived at the Shun’an Earl Mansion.

The servants were in awe of Susu, dressed in magnificent red attire, with a five-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head.

Especially the servants brought by the Heir’s wife from Qingfeng Pavilion, who were already surprised at how favored Susu was, didn’t expect this good fortune was yet to come. A maid actually became a Fourth Rank Madam.

If it weren’t for the Heir’s wife still holding the title of Third Rank external noblewoman of the Heir of Shun’an Earl, in terms of her husband’s official rank, the Heir’s wife would be two ranks lower.

Hong Sheng couldn’t stay long in the inner courtyard, so after he and Susu paid their respects to the Old Madam, he was accompanied by the Princely Heir to the outer courtyard.

The Old Madam held Susu’s hand, seeing her face full of spring and smiles in her eyes, she knew she was living well and felt much relieved.

The unmarried young ladies couldn’t tease Susu, but Yang Liu and a few others who came to join the fun wouldn’t let it go. Even the Heir’s wife, because Susu had wholeheartedly helped with the Wash Three Ceremony during her childbirth, was genuinely more affectionate toward Susu. At this moment, she held the little girl who had just turned one hundred days old and congratulated Susu.

Since Hong Sheng sent dowry, Susu hadn’t left the house, and it had been two months since she last visited the Song Family. Children change day by day.

Susu carefully received the chubby little one who looked like a sticky rice dumpling from the Heir’s wife’s hands. The little one smiled at Susu, and Susu smiled at the Old Madam, saying, "Old Madam, look, the little girl still remembers me!"

Back then, Susu was with the Old Madam when they first saw this newborn baby, and in the blink of an eye, she was already hefty and hard to hold. Her eyebrows and eyes combined all the good features of both parents, and even at this young age, she showed signs of becoming a beauty.

The Old Madam and the Heir’s wife exchanged glances, both somewhat amused and at a loss for words, thinking a child this young couldn’t possibly recognize people.

Yang Liu laughed, "The little lady has a good temperament and was born with smiling eyes, making you look delighted."

Susu didn’t care about this, feeling a connection with the child. She handed the child to the nurse and, after thinking for a while, took a jade lock from her necklace and handed it to the Heir’s wife, saying, "I’m afraid I can’t return for the little lady’s grab ceremony, this is my birthday gift to her."

However, since it was something she used to wear, Susu worried the Heir’s wife might dislike it, so she said, "Please don’t disdain it, for I carved it myself."

Everyone present was knowledgeable, and they could see that the jade lock was made of top-grade Nephrite Jade. The rare part was that this piece was an extremely rare smoky purple color among Nephrite Jade.

The jade lock was carved in a lucky cloud shape with five bats connecting wings in a circle, with only a reverse "Fu" character meaning "Blessings have arrived" inside, beautifully simple yet lively.

The other side of the jade lock was engraved with "Joy reaches the eyebrows," and to carve such a scene on a small jade lock was a testament to superb craftsmanship.

By giving Miss Song something she carried with her, Susu naturally expressed closeness, not to mention the item was very valuable. Top-grade Nephrite Jade is not uncommon, but such a rare color is, even the Heir’s wife’s dowry didn’t have it.

Hearing Susu say "Please don’t disdain it," implied it was too precious to accept, and rejecting it now seemed inappropriate. Zhao Lanxi accepted it with a smile, saying, "Such a rare item, since you are willing to give it to her, as a mother, I can only cherish my daughter even more, there’s no way I would say no."

This made everyone laugh, and the Sixth Miss, holding Susu’s hand, pretended to be sad, "Dear sister, you’ve truly forgotten us old friends for new ones. Now that you have a little niece, we’ve all become burnt rolls, neglected."

The crowd was taken aback, looking at the eleven or twelve-year-old girl calling herself an "old friend" and "burnt rolls," feeling both amused and helpless. The Old Madam pointed at her, laughing and scolding, "What nonsense books have you been reading? I think you’re itching for a good scolding."

This was not the first time the good atmosphere had been turned into a comedy show by the Sixth Miss, and everyone was amused. However, the Sixth Miss was not a child anymore, so the Old Madam secretly gave a signal to her granddaughter-in-law, who nodded in understanding. Susu, witnessing this interaction, thought to herself that she could already foresee the miserable future of the Sixth Miss.
