Living peacefully with Su Zeyi was the most comforting to the Zhong Miao Yi.
It had been a long time since she had danced again, let alone playing the zither. Old Madam Su had taken her words of refusal to heart, and had even specially asked for someone to bring her favorite zither from the storehouse.
It was rare for Su Zeyi to see his mother so interested, so he agreed to watch together with his. Since Su Zeyi was there, then Yun Mengqi was naturally also there.
Suddenly wanting to play the zither in front of so many people was something that Zhong Miao Yi did not expect, and it just so happened that Old Madam Su did not want to discuss it with her. She directly said that she was going to inform her and told her to prepare to go to the flower garden.
Xiao Yao was anxious to comb Zhong Miao Yi's makeup, but the latter was unwilling: "It looks like it's not a play, but a play."
As she mocked herself, Xiao Yao actually thought that she was scolding him and was panicking as he knelt down.
"Madam. How could it be a play to entertain the madame? "
Why not? What's the difference?
Zhong Miao Yi pulled Xiao Yao up, and patted the back of her hand: "Let's go, it's alright. I was like this in the past, I don't even need to prepare."
Xiao Yao was still worried as she helped her walk outside. At the door stood the servant girl beside Old Madam Su, who was smiling merrily at Zhong Miao Yi: "Are you not going to dress up, Madam? Young Master is also here. "
The meaning behind his words could not be more obvious. Zhong Miao Yi smiled, "There's no need, the main thing is to cheer the old mistress up."
The servant girl didn't say anything else and just nodded her head before walking to the front to lead the way.
The group walked quickly and did not speak much along the way. When they arrived at the garden, Old Madam Su nodded in satisfaction. "He's here."
Su Zeyi also sat at the side with a forced smile, he could not stop chattering, as though he had endless things to say to Su Zeyi.
Sometimes, Zhong Miao Yi was really envious of Yun Mengqi, to actually have so much to say, if she could still say so much now, maybe she would pretend to be Zhong Yi instead.
She wasn't worried that Old Madam Su would be able to tell because Su Zeyi wasn't worried either.
Zhong Yi was only ten years old when she went missing. Even if Old Madam Su still had her memories, she had only stayed when she was ten years old.
After so many years, many things had already blurred. Her young and tender zither music naturally couldn't be compared with her present maturity.
Old Mistress Su was in high spirits and asked Zhong Miao Yi to sit down. She said that she only wanted to hear a song called "Three Plum Blossom Things", which was the first song that Zhong Yi had learned.
Zhong Miao Yi's fingertips trembled. She did not want to think too much about Old Madam Su's thoughts, but just thinking about it made her feel a little sore when Old Madam Su had not forgotten about her for so many years.
She took a deep breath. She had already played countless times. One song was like flowing water, and the mood was distant.
After Old Madam Su heard this, she fell silent for a long time, then patted Su Zeyi's hand: "Look at her. Doesn't it look like Zhong Yi? "
Su Zeyi smiled without changing his expression, "Mother feels like it, if Mother likes it, I can bring it with me."
Old Madam Su sighed: "It's a pity that she is not Xiao Yi. If only Xiao Yi was still here, why can't we find her after all these years?"
Su Zeyi laughed again, "Don't even think about it, haven't you come back after so long?"
After he finished speaking, he stood up, applauded, and walked towards Zhong Miao Yi, "You played very well, Mother really likes it."
When he said these words, he was very unperturbed, and the smile in his eyes was unexpectedly gentle.
Yun Mengqi was so angry that she could smoke. She did not know how to play the zither, so she could only roll her eyes and mutter: "You fox!"
In her eyes, Zhong Miao Yi was just a woman who would pretend to be pitiful and empathetic. On the surface, she looked like she was neither fighting nor fighting, but in reality, she was full of evil tricks!
After Su Zeyi finished praising her, he pulled her hand without any explanation.
Zhong Miao Yi wanted to struggle free, but was glared at by Su Zeyi and whispered: "With so many people here, you don't want to be seen as a joke by others, right?"
In the time it took Zhong Miao Yi to react, Su Zeyi pulled him forward towards Old Lady Su.
Old Madam Su had already recovered her calm expression. She nodded her head towards Zhong Miao Yi: "Not bad, you should have been learning the zither for a long time."
Yun Mengqi laughed, then suddenly interrupted: "Big sister Miao Yi knows many things, not only is she studying the zither, she was previously a Courtesan Belle, if she does not play well, I am afraid that the customers will not like her."
Before she could finish, Su Zeyi glared at her fiercely and swallowed the latter half of her sentence.
Old Madam Su's face did not look good after hearing that. She turned her head and asked Yun Mengqi: "Do you know how to play?"
Yun Mengqi choked, and did not say a word.
Old Mistress Su knew that it wouldn't happen from her appearance, so she continued, "If you don't, then don't casually judge others unless you can do better."
Yun Mengqi was scolded in front of so many people, she could not even hold her face back, and was about to cry. However, Su Zeyi pretended not to see, and held Zhong Miao Yi's hand even more tightly: "Mother, if mother is done with the other matters, I will bring Miao Yi down."
Old Madam Su could hear the change in Su Zeyi's tone, she nodded and said: "Go."
Yun Mengqi became even more anxious and wanted to stand up to say something, but was stopped by Old Man Su, "Mengqi! "Come and sit with me."
Since Old Mistress Su had spoken, Yun Mengqi would definitely not be able to leave. She watched as Su Zeyi and Zhong Miao Yi's figures disappeared into the distance and stomped her feet, then sat back down beside Old Mistress Su.
Old Madam Su shot her a glance, then said, "Yunqi, tell me, what do you know how to write? You've been in the room for a long time, and I haven't had a proper chat with you yet."
On the other side, Su Zeyi pulled Zhong Miao Yi back to her room in one breath. Zhong Miao Yi thought that he would just leave like usual, but she didn't seem to have the intention of leaving today. She turned around and looked at her: "You used to have no feelings when you played the zither, now your mood is different, the zither music is also different."
Zhong Miao Yi did not answer, her expression still cold and indifferent.
Su Zeyi seemed to be exceptionally patient today as he walked slowly in her room. "Miaoyi, come over."
His smile was especially gentle and Zhong Miao Yi even thought that he had seen the Su Zeyi of his childhood for a short moment.
At that time, Su Zeyi would gently smile and call out to her: "Miao Yi, come here." Then he handed her a bag of sugar.
She walked over slowly, glanced at him, then lowered her eyes.
She. No longer naive enough to think that he was the Su Zeyi who was strict with her but also gentle with her when he was young. His government and ambitions had made him too scary and unfamiliar.
