Chapter 258 Huang Yuanxin Takes the Initiative to Show Goodwill

Su Xiaoxiao began to carefully cut the fabric, customize the patterns, and then start selecting embroidery thread.

Actually, Su Xiaoxiao wasn't entirely unfamiliar with the craft. After consulting with Mrs. Sun, she began to commission the design.

Then, thread the needle and begin to make the first stitch on the fabric.

Da Bao, who was standing next to Su Xiaoxiao, stopped eating his snacks and stared at her in a daze, seeing how professional Su Xiaoxiao looked.

Pei Yuan couldn't understand why Su Xiaoxiao had suddenly become distant. He sat alone in a corner, drinking alone in frustration, a scene witnessed by Su Xiuer.

Seeing Pei Yuan like this, Su Xiuer walked over to him and sat down next to him.

"Does my sister know you're drinking alone here all by yourself?"

Pei Yuan gave a bitter laugh, didn't reply, and continued to drink alone with his head down.

"You know what? Actually, my cousin's attitude towards you suddenly changed because something happened these past few days."

Su Xiuer finally got to the point, and Pei Yuan finally noticed her.

"what's going on?"

Su Xiuer pretended to be embarrassed and said, "My cousin actually told me not to tell you, but I saw how sad you were, and your relationship has deteriorated to this point, so I really couldn't bear it."

"It's okay, just tell me. I promise I won't tell your cousin that you told her."

"Okay, actually, something like this happened a few days ago."

Su Xiuer recounted to Pei Yuan the incident a few days prior, in which Tang Xiaoman's wet nurse, that woman, had come to assassinate Su Xiaoxiao.

"Isn't it infuriating? They're absolutely heartless. Luckily, my cousin knows a little martial arts, otherwise she would have been stabbed to death. Do you think love between men and women can be forced? If you don't like someone, you just don't like them..."

While Su Xiuer was still feeling indignant about Su Xiaoxiao's situation, Pei Yuan had already thrown away the wine bottle and suddenly stood up.

He rushed back to Su Xiaoxiao's side, where Su Xiaoxiao was embroidering a purse for Da Bao.

The purse is embroidered with blue sky, white clouds, and a small house, with an orchid growing in front of the house.

Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head, her beautiful hair falling gently down her forehead.

Pei Yuan rushed to Su Xiaoxiao's side, "You, right?"

He grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's wrist and, sure enough, saw the back of her hand, which she had been trying to hide in her sleeve in front of him.

Although the wound had scabbed over, Pei Yuan could tell that it must have been very deep.

"You scared me to death! What are you doing?"

Su Xiaoxiao quickly pulled her hand back, but Pei Yuan still wouldn't let it go, saying, "Xiaoxiao, I'm going back to scold Tang Xiaoman right now. It's all her doing."

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him. "What's the use of you scolding her? From what the wet nurse said, Miss Tang probably doesn't know about this."

"Alright, you don't need to speak up for her anymore. I'm going to find her right now!"

"Pei Yuan, I just can't understand. When will this cycle of revenge end?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Yuan still impulsively prepared to confront Tang Xiaoman and clarify things.

"Isn't it because you and she are still engaged that she's acting so arrogantly?"

Just as Su Xiaoxiao and Pei Yuan were arguing fiercely about this matter, they heard Sun Shi, who was standing next to them, reveal the secret.

"What's the point of arguing about this here? General Pei, if you really want to resolve this completely and prevent Xiaoxiao from being harassed by Tang Xiaoman in the future, you should talk to Tang Xiaoman clearly and then dissolve the engagement." Madam Sun spoke without any mercy. As soon as she finished speaking, Su Xiaoxiao was stunned, and Pei Yuan was also stunned in place.

Pei Yuan remained silent for a while, then walked away, seemingly busy with something.

Su Xiaoxiao ignored Pei Yuan and continued sewing purses for Da Bao and Xiao Bao.

Xiao Bao's purse had a small pink flower on it. After Su Xiaoxiao handed the purse to the two children, she saw them jumping and laughing happily with the purses in their hands. At that moment, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel happy.

Da Bao cherished it even more. His hands were sweating a little, so he wiped them on his clothes and feet to dry them before taking the purse.

Da Bao thanked Su Xiaoxiao very politely.

He grinned and said, "Thank you, Mother."

Da Bao wanted to reach out and touch the orchid, but was afraid of getting it dirty, so he quickly withdrew his hand.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly said, "It's okay, it won't get dirty. Even if it does get dirty, you can wash it clean. Don't worry about touching it."

Da Bao nodded and smiled at Su Xiaoxiao, "Mom, the patterns on this purse are so pretty. I don't think any of the purses sold outside have this many styles."

"Yes, Mother will sew a rope onto the purse, and you can carry it with you."

"Ok."

After tying the purse to her body, Su Xiaoxiao asked Dabao, "Do you think it looks good?"

Da Bao was even happier when he saw it.

Su Xiaoxiao did not see Pei Yuan appear until it was time to eat.

Although somewhat worried, Su Xiaoxiao had a pretty good idea that Pei Yuan should go to find Tang Xiaoman.

Huang Yuanxin brought a food box to the store and delivered it to Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao had only found out last time that Huang Yuanxin's aunt was the Duchess of the State.

When the Emperor went on his incognito visit, the Duchess and the Duke followed him and stole the show.

In fact, everyone tacitly sent many gifts to the Duchess, hoping that she would take good care of them.

Regardless of the reason, the Duchess had a very good impression of Su Xiaoxiao, and Huang Yuanxin gradually became friends with Su Xiaoxiao as well.

"Sister Su, last time you taught my aunt how to make fish balls, and she learned it. She even taught me! Come and try my fish balls, how are they?"

As Huang Yuanxin spoke, he pushed the food box in front of Su Xiaoxiao, looking very sincere in seeking advice.

"Hmm, the taste is quite authentic."

"Haha, I knew you'd praise me. I'm getting better and better at making fish balls, and I've found that once you get the hang of it, it's really easy."

"That's good."

"But, Sister Su, why don't you sell your fish ball making technique? I heard that a restaurant owner offered a very high price to buy your technique, but you refused. What's the reason for that?"

Huang Yuanxin asked Su Xiaoxiao in a very naive way.

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "With your intelligence, it's hard for me to explain this to you."

However, I still had to say something polite: "I intend to pass this technique down to my family. In fact, if it weren't for my family and friends, I would never have revealed even a fraction of this technique to them."

As a result, Huang Yuanxin actually became a little shy. She took Su Xiaoxiao's hand affectionately and said, "Sister, do you really treat me like your own sister?"
