Her elder sister steals her husband? She marries the God of War and is pampered beyond measure!

Chapter 76 Brothers are fleeting, women are what truly matter

Su Mowan was not planning to "spread the word"; she was simply curious about who had beaten the Seventh Princess into such a miserable state.

Murong Jing didn't say anything, so Su Mowan didn't ask any further questions.

The next morning, Su Mowan got up and went back to continue painting birds.

Not long after work began, a furtive figure appeared outside the window.

Su Mowan put down her pen.

"Seventh Princess, why are you running around like this again? Aren't you afraid you'll really ruin your hand by wandering around in the flowerbed?"

The Seventh Princess had a sly grin on her face.

"It's okay, I just put my arm in a sling as you said!"

As she spoke, she patted the arm hanging in front of her chest and craned her neck to peer inside.

"I just wanted to see what you were doing. My third brother specifically told me not to come and disturb you. What are you doing so mysteriously?"

Su Mowan raised the colored calligraphy brush in her hand.

"Drawing something."

The seventh princess looked at her with curiosity and smiled ingratiatingly, "Sister-in-law, may I come in and take a look?"

"No."

Su Mowan smiled and shook her head, "It's a secret. If I showed it to you, there wouldn't be any surprise."

"What do you mean 'secret'? I promise I won't tell anyone. Just let me see it, just one look!"

The seventh princess held up one finger as she spoke.

"Will you return to Fenghua Palace by yourself, or should I have someone escort you back? Or should I have someone invite your third brother?"

"...Can't we discuss this some more?"

"Not negotiable."

The seventh princess pouted and disappeared out the window, looking dejected.

Two hours passed quickly.

Qinghe called from outside the door, "Consort Su, when shall we set off for the restaurant?"

Su Mowan paused in her painting.

"It'll be quick. Pack your things and leave right away."

Tang Minzhi decided to take advantage of the documents she had acquired. It just so happened that she had taken a stroll through Xiaoxiang Biying that day and had some ideas. Holding onto these documents might come in handy someday.

Tang Minzhi had given her a hairpin last time.

It wasn't gold or silver; it was a pear blossom hairpin, and it was quite beautiful.

Since she had accepted it, there was no reason to return it. Su Mowan didn't intend to return it, but rather wanted to give something as a return gift.

Thinking of this, Su Mowan quickly sped up her work, while also sighing that it would be great if she had a camera.

About half an hour later, Su Mowan stopped writing.

She shook her sore and numb wrist and asked Qinghe to take down the painting hanging on the wall and roll it up.

Qinghe continued working with her hands, but asked, "Consort Su, didn't you not finish painting it yet? Why did you take it down?"

"almost."

It's not that the drawing is almost perfect, it's that I've memorized it almost perfectly.

Su Mowan took the painting and went out. Qinghe called after her, "What are you doing with this painting, Consort Su?"

"Giving it away."

"Sending...sending someone away?!"

Qinghe was so surprised that her big eyes widened in astonishment.

Su Mowan turned to look at her: "Is there a problem?"

"No, no problem..."

Qinghe weakly gave in.

This painting cost three thousand taels of silver!

She even reported ten thousand taels to the prince! What if the prince finds out that Consort Su took it and gave it away...?

Qinghe shuddered; the consequences would be unimaginable!

Yinshuang, who was waiting at the entrance of the Prince's mansion, saw what Consort Su was holding and her eyes flickered, but in the end she didn't say anything.

This time, we didn't need to hire a carriage; we used one from the manor.

Su Mowan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Yinshuang before getting into the car.

By the time she arrived at Zui Jinzhao, it was already early noon. The restaurant was already quite full of customers. As soon as Manager Qian saw her enter, he approached her and said that Tang Minzhi had arrived.

Su Mowan carried the things upstairs to the second floor, with Qinghe and Yinshuang following behind.

This time, Su Mowan didn't say no to coming along.

Upon entering the private room, seeing that only Tang Minzhi was there, Su Mowan asked with a smile, "Where are Mr. Tang's two friends?"

When Tang Minzhi saw Qinghe and Yinshuang following behind her, his eyes darkened, and he forced a smile.

"They were delayed by something today, they'll be there in a bit."

As he spoke, he gestured to the servant behind him, who immediately went out.

The servant, holding the newly printed menu, discreetly handed it to Tang Minzhi.

"Young Master Tang, take a look and see if there's anything you like."

As Su Mowan spoke, she handed the scroll in her hand to Yinshuang behind her.

Tang Minzhi took the menu with some surprise, glanced at it, and praised, "This is indeed much more convenient."

Su Mowan smiled modestly after receiving the praise.

"Would Young Master Tang like to wait for Young Master Xue and Young Master Chi to arrive before ordering, or order now and wait for them?"

Tang Minzhi said with a gentle smile, "Let's order first. I know what they usually like to eat."

"These are true brothers," Su Mowan exclaimed.

After ordering a few dishes, the waiter took the menu and left. At this moment, Su Mowan suddenly had a new idea.

While waiting for the food, Su Mowan asked Tang Minzhi about the painting again. Seeing that she was interested, Tang Minzhi talked about it at length.

As a result, before the dishes were even served, the two were already starting to chat and drink tea.

Qinghe stared blankly at the scene, while Yinshuang silently lowered her head, pretending not to see anything.

Just as the two were finishing their conversation, Xue Ting and Chi Xuan arrived.

The two entered the private room.

Xue Ting's first reaction was to glance at his good brother Tang Minzhi, while Chi Xuan did the opposite, looking at Su Mowan.

Tang Minzhi coughed and said, "What are you standing there for? Come and sit down."

Su Mowan also teased, "Are you two gentlemen not used to eating with women?"

Xue Ting immediately laughed.

"Not at all, Miss Su, are you mocking us brothers?"

Chi Xuan, on the other hand, was rather glib: "It's just a little hard to believe for a moment that I actually had the honor of having dinner with Miss Su. It must have been quite a spectacle for Miss Su. Minzhi really is something, not even telling us beforehand so we could be mentally prepared."

Tang Minzhi frowned.

"If you keep nagging, go back and prepare yourself mentally before you come back."

"..."

Chi Xuan was taken aback, and sighed inwardly, 'Good brothers are all fleeting, women are the most important.'

Once seated, Xue Ting became quite forthcoming: "Minzhi, I want to eat shark fin soup, braised pheasant, and—"

"I've already ordered braised ark shell and shredded chicken with white fungus for you."

Tang Minzhi interrupted him, then turned to Chi Xuan and said, "I ordered you scallion-fried drunken shrimp and drunken fish. Anything else?"

Xue Ting shouted, "Good brother!"

Chi Xuan looked puzzled: "Minzhi, when did you become so considerate? How much money did this cost?"

Tang Minzhi glared at him, somewhat awkwardly saying, "Today, Miss Su is hosting."

"Is Miss Su hosting?"

Chi Xuan stared blankly at him, and Su Mowan smiled at him.

"If there's anything else you two gentlemen would like to eat, please order it. You can have a free meal today, so don't waste this rare opportunity."
