Chapter 1105: 033 Fruit Wine (First Update)

Recently, Lin Jiaxin had taken up painting, spending his days in the study, copying the works of the masters. Of course, all these masterpieces had been collected for him by Xia Zheng.

Watching Lin Yuan working with the young servant and the workers, Xia Zheng couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Lin Touer, how many days will it take to finish this work?"

Lin Yuan showed the people working the drawings she had made, then turned and glared at Xia Zheng, "Stop making snide remarks! Aren’t you the one with many connections? Perfect, I want to renovate Yi Ran Residence and need some unique and strange items. Whatever you can find, bring it to me, money is no object."

Knowing Lin Yuan was always full of cunning ideas, Xia Zheng didn’t ask further. Instead, he immediately thumped his chest assuring her satisfaction and left joyfully.

No sooner had Xia Zheng left through the front door than a carriage approached from another direction, stopping at the entrance of Lin Yuan’s house.

As Butler Zhou came in to report, Lin Yuan was squatting on the ground, meticulously explaining the desired wood frame dimensions to the workers.

"Oh?" Lin Yuan looked up in surprise, thinking she had misheard, "Who did you say?"

Butler Zhou pursed his lips and repeated, "Miss Su from the Prime Minister Mansion has come to visit personally."

After saying this, even Butler Zhou thought it strange. Su Qiu Yu should be the first one in Capital City to know that Lin Yuan was dear to Xia Zheng, yet she still kept her cool and regularly visited General Mansion. Not to mention Princess Anle, even the servants like him couldn’t stand it anymore.

Now, just after Miss Lin had arrived in Capital City, she had hurried over.

Thinking of Su Qiu Yu’s outfit at the door, Butler Zhou furrowed his brow tightly. Was this a visit? It clearly seemed more like a show-off, a provocation!

"Oh, her." Lin Yuan scoffed and dismissed it carelessly, lowering her head to continue explaining the dimensions to the young servant.

Butler Zhou was taken aback, unsure what Lin Yuan meant. Was she implying that Su Qiu Yu should wait outside?

Just when he was unsure of what to do, Lin Yuan suddenly spoke, "Uncle Zhou, I remember when wealthy families are about to visit friends, they always send a card in advance to inform them, right?"

"Yes." Butler Zhou nodded, "However, some very close friends can meet anytime without sending a card."

Lin Yuan looked up and smiled, "Right, only some very close friends don’t need to send a card, but Miss Su and I have merely met once; we can hardly be considered friends, let alone very close ones. So..."

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, her smile crafty, "So, Uncle Zhou, you understand what I’m suggesting, right?"

Butler Zhou’s mouth twitched. With the conversation at this point, how could he not understand?

He immediately nodded and turned to leave.

Watching Butler Zhou’s retreating figure, Lin Yuan snorted coldly. If Su Qiu Yu hadn’t gone to Xia Zheng spreading rumors to sour their relationship, she might have considered meeting her. But now, it was time to show her that Lin Yuan was not to be trifled with!

At the entrance, Su Qiu Yu was dressed in a pale yellow long dress, covered with a thin layer of light gauze, and wore a complete set of Ruby Headband. Even her neck and wrists were adorned with valuable jewelry.

Around her waist, she wore a valuable white jade pendant the size of a palm. The pendant was intricately carved with a hundred ’fortune’ characters, which combined to form Su Qiu Yu’s nickname "Wen," highlighting the pendant’s value.

This jade pendant was a birthday gift from Empress Su, her royal aunt, when she was born. The precious jade material and intricate carving techniques were not only unmatched in Capital City but throughout all of Dayong.

Moreover, only two such pendants existed under heaven, the other being in the hands of Princess Cui Wei, Empress Su’s biological daughter. Her pendant was also carved with a hundred ’fortune’ characters but formed the word "Yuan," a name befitting the Eldest Princess and the direct daughter of the Empress.

Now that Su Qiu Yu had come to confront Lin Yuan, wearing such a pendant demonstrated that she truly harbored intentions of competing with Lin Yuan.

When Butler Zhou came out, he saw Su Qiu Yu standing upright at the entrance. Although her face was expressionless, the discontent and indignation were evident on the face of her servant girl, Yaner.
