Within the room.
Bai Qian stood up and Su Nuo asked curiously, "Big sister, what's wrong?"
Bai Qian looked outside and saw that there was still no sign of her. "I asked someone to make you some soup to heal your body, but they still haven't brought it over. It must be the maids who are slacking off, this soup can't last too long and it must not be too short. Otherwise, it won't work anymore." As he spoke, he walked out.
Su Nuo looked at the departing back and suddenly let out a gentle smile. So this was how a family relationship was like. Having an elder sister could be loved and doted upon like this.
Su Nuo knew that she had become completely addicted to it. It would be impossible for her to give up on it for the rest of her life.
So, no matter what, she had to treat her elder sister well and do everything she could to help her elder sister do whatever was possible.
Thinking up to here, Su Nuo thought of Little Qian. That's right, this time, when she returned, other than Housekeeper Zhou, she didn't see anyone else familiar to her. Su Nuo walked out, thinking that no matter what, she should take a look at Little Qian.
Just as she was feeling depressed, she saw Housekeeper Zhou walking over from afar. Normally, Su Nuo would not come forward, but no matter what, she could not speak to everyone like this.
"Housekeeper Zhou." Su Nuo called out respectfully.
Housekeeper Zhou answered: "Is something the matter?" He looked at Su Nuo, thinking that this child must have suffered a lot.
"That, where is Little Qian?" Su Nuo asked.
Housekeeper Zhou didn't expect Su Nuo to think about a maid, but after thinking about it for a while, he realized that Su Nuo was a female slave herself. At that time, Xiao Qian was indeed very good to her, so it was no wonder that she thought about it. He paused for a moment. "As for why, I think you know as well."
Su Nuo froze, then nodded. Of course she knew why, but she didn't want her sister to know. She wanted her sister to be happy and have a good life with her master.
"Did Qian go home?" But Suño wanted to know where Qian was.
Housekeeper Zhou thought for a moment. "Little Qian, you've been bought by a rich man to be his personal maid. The young lady from that family seems to like Little Qian very much. If Little Qian follows her, she won't suffer."
As Su Nuo listened, she let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Housekeeper Zhou seemed to have thought of something and said: "But Little Qian has been unwilling to leave, saying that he will wait for you to come back. However, since you know about this kind of thing, we'll just follow the usual plan." He looked at Su Nuo and said in a benevolent tone, "Su Nuo, but don't worry. Little Qian will definitely be fine."
Su Nuo was stunned for a moment. She had not expected Housekeeper Zhou to speak to her like this, but knowing that Little Qian was fine, she felt relieved. With a smile, he said, "Housekeeper Zhou, thank you."
Housekeeper Zhou nodded and left.
Su Nuo stood at her original spot and brought the soup over. The moment she saw Su Nuo, she was somewhat surprised. She then shouted, "Xiao'er, why are you outside?"
Su Nuo turned her head and saw the white smile on Bai Qian's face. "It's nothing." When she said that she wanted to help her carry the things, Whitesnow rejected her. "With your appearance, I can't tell what's wrong with you." Whitesnow's pampering tone made Su Nuo feel warm.
"Elder sister." Just a moment ago, was she acting like a spoiled child towards her elder sister? It turned out that she was also acting like a spoiled child, and this kind of feeling was as if she had been dreaming for many years that she could eat candy. Now that the candy was in her mouth, she actually didn't know what to do.
"You must eat more. There is not even a bit of meat on your body." Bai Qian dotingly said, "If you keep acting like this, be careful that the Third Marquis doesn't want you."
Su Nuo really smiled this time and raised her face. "Then I still have big sister."
For so many years, Su Nuo had never been this happy. She had always thought that her master was her entire world, and without her master, she would die. But now, she had an elder sister. She discovered that she was still very useful before. Even if it was all based on lies, she thought, even if it was lies, it didn't matter. She now sincerely hoped that this matter would continue on like this.
That was good. She would be willing to put on a good act like this.
After returning to the house, Whitesnow served the soup to Su Nuo, "Drink it quickly. If it gets cold, it won't be good."
Su Nuo glanced at her. "Elder sister, you're not drinking."
Bai Qian shook her head. "Elder sister just needs to see you drink it."
Su Nuo laughed. "Elder sister, why do your words sound like —" Su Nuo hesitated for a moment before shouting, "Master looks very poor."
Bai Qian frowned slightly when he heard her address him. "Xiao'er, you're the future princess consort. You don't have to call me 'master' anymore."
She didn't want her sister to feel uncomfortable. She knew that this title, her status as a slave, had always made her sister sad. She thought that when her sister heard this title, she must have thought that she had suffered a lot.
"Elder sister, the soup tastes really good." Su Nuo smiled widely.
"It's good as long as it tastes good. Be careful of the heat." Bai Qian said.
Su Nuo smiled. Her elder sister's care for her was already a complete contradiction. Just now, she had been allowed to take advantage of the heat, but now, she was afraid that she would be scalded. How could she bear to leave with such an elder sister?
After Su Nuo finished her soup, Whitesnow suddenly opened his mouth and said with a heavy expression, "Nore."
Su Nuo turned around. "Elder sister, what's wrong?"
"Do you want to go home?"
Su Nuo was baffled, but she soon understood that her sister meant returning to the Su residence. The Su Clan's rejection of her was natural. It was because she wanted to cover it up. The expression on her face had long betrayed her.
Bai Qian immediately understood. "If you don't want to go back, then don't. Big Sis is just asking casually. If Na'er wants to go there, then Big Sis will accompany you."
Su Nuo looked at Bai Qian and could only feel her eyes getting sore. However, she did not want to cry and could only try her best to widen her eyes.
"Xiao'er, big sister knows that you must have suffered a lot over the years. Father and Mother treated you like that too. You …" Bai Qian could not finish her sentence.
Su Nuo shook her head as she held her hand. "Big Sister, Xiao'er is doing very well. Master used to treat her very well as well, so there's no need to make things difficult for her. Now that Xiao'er has big sister, Xiao'er is really doing very well."
Bai Qian gripped Su Nuo's hand tightly. "Big Sis won't let anyone bully Na'er again. Definitely not!" Her usually gentle gaze immediately became resolute.
Su Nuo went up and hugged Whitey, replying to him in her arms.
Bai Qian also held Su Nuo in his arms. After a moment of silence, Bai Qian spoke up, "Nore, although I lost my memories, I always dreamt that a little girl with big eyes would always appear behind me, sometimes behind a big tree, sometimes in a haystack, whether I was drawing or embroidering, if I looked up slightly, I could see her wide open eyes, black and innocent, always looking at me with a kind of warmth, as if she wanted to come to my side, wish that I could hold her, sing and help her comb her hair, and dress her well."
Su Nuo was shocked when she heard this. The little girl that her elder sister was talking about was her. She didn't expect her elder sister to remember. Also, she really wanted her elder sister to pamper her.
All these years of whiteness had erased her truest thoughts from her childhood. Fortunately, she was still able to meet her elder sister. Fortunately, everything was still in time.
Bai Qian continued, "All these years, I've been searching for this person. Until I met you that day, I knew that the little girl I was looking for had finally been found, and the dreams I've kept repeating for so many years were real. Nuo'er, it's good to be able to find you."
"Sister, me too." Su Nuo hugged Bai Qian and buried her face in her bosom. She breathed in the gentle scent of Bai Qian's body. That was the smell of her elder sister.
In another room.
The servant girl brought a basin of water to wash Beichen's feet. Just as the servant girl was about to take off his shoes, Beichen kicked the servant girl to the side.
The servant girl was frightened and hurriedly left in a sorry state.
Bei Chen Han looked at the water basin under his feet, raised his foot and kicked it down hard. Damn it, really damn it, Su Nuo actually dared to do this to him, a lowly slave like her actually dared to do this to him.
His black eyes were full of anger, it was great, he actually believed her words, he believed that the pet he raised would listen obediently, never leave his side, never smile at anyone other than him, never let anyone touch or hug him, it was all lies, all lies.
Beichen's fist landed hard on the bed, causing it to break.
Fine, if she wanted to leave him, then she, Su Nuo, would never be able to dream of flying up the branch to become a phoenix.
When this matter was over, he would definitely capture his pet. When that time came, he would use a chain to tie her up and lock her in the secret room. He wanted her to see no one but him, and he wanted her to accompany him to the end of his life.
Bei Chen Han's eyes were cold and resolute, as if this wasn't something he was going to do in the future, but rather something that had already become a reality. No one could change that.
"Little Nono." Early in the morning, Duke Bei Chen's voice came from the other side of the door.
Su Nuo woke up in a daze and saw Bai Xiao looking at her with a smile. "The Third Marquis is outside."
Bai Qian found it funny when he saw Su Nuo still wanting to sleep, but still helping her to get dressed. Su Nuo did not refuse, only her blurry head still thinking, she has been serving Master for seven years, how did she get here, even now she can't even dress herself, it's really …
