?Chapter 586: Chapter 537, Testing the Waters_1 Chapter 586: Chapter 537, Testing the Waters_1 Madam Su led Madam Li and Daohua back to the third courtyard, sat for a short while, then instructed the maids and old women to prepare the meal.
“This is a soup that Shiyu made early in the morning. Please, have a taste and see how it is,” said Madam Su.
Madam Su personally served a bowl of soup to Madam Li while Su Shiyu also filled a bowl for Daohua.
After taking a sip, Madam Li couldn’t help but praise, “Shiyu is truly a clever and skillful girl; this soup tastes extremely good.”
It delighted Madam Su to hear a guest praise her daughter’s cooking and she felt proud, but she humbly replied, “She can’t compare to your Yiyi, though. I still fondly remember the pastries I had at your place last time.”
The two mothers were complimenting each other’s children, creating a harmonious atmosphere at the dining table.
After the meal, as she watched Su Shiyu calmly assigning tasks to the servants, Madam Li casually remarked, “Shiyu is such a darling girl. I wonder which lucky young man will have her in the future?”
Madam Su paused for a moment but soon replied with a smile, “There’s no rush for that. I only have Hongxin and Shiyu; I must choose their partners carefully. Besides, her brother isn’t betrothed yet, so it’ll be even later for this girl.”
Madam Li nodded in agreement, saying, “Matrimony is a vital matter that affects a child’s entire life. One must indeed select and examine the options carefully. We were busy for quite some time with my eldest son’s marriage affairs. Now that his marriage is settled, I have to worry about my younger son’s. Truly, there’s no rest at all.”
Madam Su laughed and, without expressing any opinion, continued to praise, “I’ve met Wenkai, and he’s a fine and spirited young man. You certainly won’t have difficulty finding a daughter-in-law who meets your expectations.”
Madam Li shook her head and sighed, “It’s not so easy to find someone that meets one’s expectations. If everyone were like your Shiyu, I wouldn’t be so troubled.”
Hearing this, Madam Su’s heart stirred, but she didn’t pursue the conversation and simply replied vaguely, “You flatter her too much.”
Seeing that Madam Su wasn’t showing much enthusiasm, Madam Li understood her stance. Fortunately, she was prepared and wasn’t disappointed. After pondering for a moment, she continued with a smile.
