The Fourth Lady

As soon as Su Qingyuan finished school, she headed straight to Ning Siyao's courtyard. When she entered, she saw Ning Siyao sitting at the table diligently embroidering something.

"Mother, I'm back." Su Qingyuan looked to Ning Siyao with a smile, "I've already done what mother has asked and spread the rumors about that lowly wench."

Ning Siyao put down the thing in her hand and looked up to Su Qingyuan with a smile, "Mother knows that our Yuan'er is the best." She pulled Su Qingyuan to her side and sat her down.

"Nianqiu, bring the snacks prepared earlier in for the miss to eat." Ning Siyao told the servant girl to her side.

In just a moment, Nianqiu brought in a plate of very delicate pastries.

Looking at the pastries in front of Su Qingyuan, Ning Siyao said with a smile, "These are mother's handmade pastries made just for you."

Qingyuan picked up a pastry and began to eat it. With a smile, she replied, "Mother's skills are really good."

"Silly child, of course mother's skills are good." Ning Siyao said this as she patted her head, "Not long from now, the once in a year talent conference will begin, are you prepared?"

Su Qingyuan firmly nodded at Ning Siyao, "Naturally I'm prepared." She jumped into Ning Siyao's embrace, "Plus it's not like you don't know that every time we use that lowly wench as a stepping stone."

It was natural that Ning Siyao was very proud whenever the 'talent conference' was mentioned. Su Qingyan's foolish appearance was the perfect foil to her own daughter's elegance. Most importantly at the end of every 'talent conference', it basically became a show to see Su Qingyan make a fool of herself. And for her, seeing such a scene made her so happy.

When granny Ruo arrived in Ning Siyao's courtyard, she just happened to be having her meal. When she saw granny Ruo's figure, she called out to her, "Granny Ruo, did you take care of it?"

"Yes madam, the medicine you gave me, I've already put into the pastries and sent it to the fourth young miss." Granny Ruo replied in a docile manner.
