Miss Handicap (5)

Su Kui glanced at them casually. The population of the Feng Residence was still small. The madam passed away after she gave birth to Feng Yanran, and the other two mistresses also passed away not long after due to sickness.

As for the real reason behind it, further discussions were needed in the future.

Apart from the fourth mistress, Grand Preceptor Feng still had other mistresses. Those who did not possess any title had no right to seek an audience with the Old Madam.

'As for the other two young ladies…' Su Kui took a guess.

The one who was wearing a white dress had a pair of sparkling eyes and a beautiful smile. A trace of cleverness could be detected on her face. In comparison, the other lady seemed duller. Even though her face was also considered pretty, her dull expression made her less likable than the young lady in white.

After a few glances, Su Kui came to a conclusion. The beautiful woman had to be the fourth mistress, while the young lady was Feng Qingqing. She was indeed quite pretty.

Su Kui smiled. The head maid, Shuang Luo was guarding the door when she saw Su Kui enter. She quickly came and greeted Su Kui with a smile. "You're here, Milady? Come in quickly. The weather in the morning is chilly; don't catch a cold."

It was obvious who was friendlier.

The fourth mistress and her daughters bit their lips in hatred. Su Kui passed them with her head held high as Shuang Luo pushed her wheelchair, smiling proudly.

It did not matter if their hatred toward her increased or decreased since she was not planning on getting along with them anyway. For Su Kui, it was all the same.

Before she reached the door of the main residence, an extremely evil smile appeared on Su Kui's face. She turned her head and softly said in a playful tone, "Oh yeah, why don't you and your two younger sisters go back first, Fourth Mistress? It is fine if you catch a cold out here but I'm afraid that you might disturb Grandmother's rest."

'Damn it!'

That was what the fourth mistress and Feng Qingqing thought in their minds. Why did she not die when she fell into the pond a few days ago?!

Feng Qingqing bit her lip and tried to explain, but the fourth mistress stopped her. The fourth mistress acted normally and said with a smile, "Don't say that, Milady. This is our duty as young ones. We will remain quiet and make sure to not disturb the Old Madam."

Su Kui licked her lips and snorted. The older, the wiser.

Right then, Feng Qingqing was still inexperienced.

"In that case, please wait for as long as you need to, Fourth Mistress!" Su Kui said, swinging her sleeves.

When Shuang Luo pushed her into the room, an old maidservant walked past her.

The sounds of the old maidservant talking in the courtyard could still be heard after Su Kui entered the main hall. "Fourth Mistress, the Old Madam does not feel well today and has exempted you from having an audience with her. Please go back!"

"This… We have more reason to enter if the Old Madam is not feeling well. We need to do all we can."

"There's no need for that. Please go back, Fourth Mistress, Third Lady, and Fourth Lady!"

Su Kui waited until the old maidservant came in before she finally signaled Shuang Luo to keep moving by leisurely waving her hand. She did not feel uncomfortable at all when she was caught eavesdropping.

She started to hum a tune. Obviously, what happened that morning was good enough to make her stay happy the whole day.

The old madam walked in with the help of a maid. She was wearing a longevity scholar's robe and a jade hairpin on her head. Right after she came in, she saw her beloved eldest granddaughter humming. She raised her toes and clapped her little hands rhythmically. That lovable look almost made her heart melt.

She smiled happily and said, "My, oh, my, why are you so happy today, Ran'er? Have you heard anything interesting? Do share so that your grandmother can be happy too."

Su Kui heard her teasing but did not become bashful. She wore a sweet smile as if her dimples were full of honey. "Grandma, you still don't know why your granddaughter is happy?"

"This little girl..." The old madam touched her forehead lightly. "You haven't had breakfast, right? Come, have this with Grandma."

Su Kui quickly nodded and bombarded her with compliments. The old madam was filled with so much joy that she called Su Kui a cheeky girl.
