Chapter 272 Will You Blame Her?

"Cheche, are you still angry?" Mei Susu climbed up Xuanyuan Che's chest with her little hand, and then playfully drew a little heart on his chest.

"Everyone said they don't dare anymore, really."

Mei Susu's lively little eyes blinked like feather eyelashes fluttering, leaving a line of shadow on her eyelids.

She is petite and cute, and her cuteness is enough to melt people's hearts.

Xuanyuan Che pinched her little face, leaned over and pecked her bright red lips: "Even if you don't dare to do it again."

Mei Susu shook her head like a pound of garlic, and was unusually well-behaved: "Yes, yes, then Cheche can stop being angry, okay?"

Xuanyuan Che curled his lips: "I'll let you go this time, if there's a next time..."

Mei Susu immediately covered his mouth: "There will definitely not be a next time."

Xuanyuan Che narrowed his eyes and took her hand: "I believe in Su Su."

Seeing that he had calmed down, Mei Susu pointed outside the screen and said, "Then...are you still going to make the clothes?"

"Do it. This is non-negotiable."

Mei Susu's face immediately fell. Oh heaven and earth, after saying so much, she still couldn't escape the fate of learning how to make clothes.

It seems that all I said was in vain.

Seeing her ugly little face, she looked like she was about to cry, but Xuanyuan Che was secretly smiling in his heart.

This little girl must be blaming him in her heart, but if he doesn't make her suffer a little, she will dare to do it again next time.

Time passed in a flash. On the first day of July 19th, Mei Susu was pulled into the room by Mrs. Shan and talked a lot.

Tell her what to pay attention to at the coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow, who the guests will be, and if someone talks to her, she should not say anything unless she is sure of the other person's identity.

Then he took out a bracelet from the brocade box and put it on her hand.

Mei Susu was flattered and wanted to take off the bracelet and return it to Mrs. Shan, but Mrs. Shan held her hand.

A look of sadness appeared on her face, as if the sight of the object reminded her of someone.

Holding Mei Susu's hand, his eyes couldn't help but become red: "This jade bracelet was prepared by me for Jin'er (Shan Ruijin, the youngest daughter of Mrs. Shan who has passed away). I wanted to take her back to Beijing during the Chinese New Year to give it to her, but I never thought that she would not make it to the end of the year."

Hot tears fell, and Mrs. Shan wiped them away hurriedly.

Mei Susu wanted to say something to comfort him, but when she thought about the fact that she had taken his little girl's place, she felt a bitter taste in her throat and choked up without words.

Now that she has the identity of Shan Ruijin, whatever she says seems to be pale and powerless.

After a while, she said three words: "I'm sorry."

Mrs. Shan was such a smart person that as soon as Mei Susu said this, she knew what Mei Susu was thinking.

She patted the back of Mei Susu's hand, shook her head and smiled, "You don't need to say sorry, because if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would still be unable to sleep every day, crying day and night because of Jin'er's death, and I'm in so much pain that I want to die."

"I thought Madam Shan would blame me for taking the place of Madam Shan's beloved daughter."

Madam Shan touched Mei Susu's hair lovingly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Jin'er is just like you, a kind and considerate child. If she knew that you could marry off in a glamorous way on her behalf and live happily, she would definitely be happy."

"It was me, her mother, who made her leave all alone. Now that I think about it, I owe her."

Mei Susu looked at the tears rolling down Mrs. Shan's eyes and took out a handkerchief to wipe them away for her.

"If Madam Shan doesn't mind, could you tell me about Miss Jin?"

Mrs. Shan looked at Mei Susu and nodded: "Okay."

Madam Shan told me that Shan Ruijin had been weak and sickly since childhood, and that she went to the manor to recuperate before leaving home, and died after arriving there.

From Mrs. Shan's description, even though Mei Susu had never met Shan Ruijin, she could feel that she was an extremely gentle and kind woman.

It’s a pity that beautiful women have short lives. Such a good girl passed away so early.

Mei Susu finally returned the bracelet to Mrs. Shan. She thought that she was not worthy of wearing it and should not wear it.

She should be grateful to Shan Ruijin for lending her this identity, allowing her to marry her beloved one openly.

She will also carry the name Shan Ruijin, live an upright life, and go see the world that she has never seen.

But she could not accept Mrs. Shan's love on her behalf, because she was Mei Susu, not Shan Ruijin, and the bracelet should be placed on Shan Ruijin's altar, not worn on her hand.

If she accepted the bracelet, it would mean that she replaced Shan Ruijin, but she could not replace anyone, she was just herself.

That night, Xuanyuan Che was afraid that Mei Susu would be nervous about the coming-of-age ceremony the next day, so he came to the Shan family to accompany her.

During the meal, Xuanyuan Che noticed that Mei Susu was not in the mood, and thought that she was worried about the coming-of-age ceremony the next day. So while digesting the food after the meal, he comforted her and told her not to be afraid, that he would take care of everything.

Mei Susu hugged Xuanyuan Che's strong waist, rested her chin on his chest, and looked up at him.

"Why is Susu looking at me like that?"

Mei Susu raised her hand and gently stroked his eyebrows, nose, and jaw...

Then he smiled and said, "Cheche is the most beautiful person I have ever seen. I can never get enough of looking at her."

Xuanyuan Che grabbed her soft waist with his big hand and lifted her up, then held her hips and told her to wrap her legs around his waist and abdomen: "Since that's the case, how about watching each other for the rest of our lives?"

Mei Susu buried her head in his neck, nuzzled him, and said in a muffled voice, "Okay."

"Susu, is there anything bothering you?"

Mei Susu hummed softly: "Mrs. Bai Tianshan told me about Miss Jin today. Cheche, do you think Miss Jin will blame me for taking her identity in her afterlife?"

Xuanyuan Che frowned: "Why do you say that?"

"Today, Madam Shan gave me the bracelet that was supposed to be given to Miss Jin. She said that I looked similar to Miss Jin and it was me who helped her get out of her pain."

Xuanyuan Che walked to a stone bench and sat down, holding Mei Susu in his arms: "This is a good thing, because Susu's appearance has kept her away from pain."

Mei Susu shook her head: "No, I just took over the magpie's nest. Miss Jin is a very good girl and should not be replaced or forgotten. I returned the bracelet to Mrs. Shan because I was afraid that they would transfer their love for Miss Jin to me. But I am obviously not Shan Ruijin, how can I accept the love of others on her behalf?"

Xuanyuan Che held her in his arms and remained silent for a long while.

"I think Susu is wrong. Susu's existence is a comfort to the living."

"Mrs. Shan and the others will never forget the real Shan Ruijin. No one can replace Shan Ruijin's position in their hearts. They just hope that Susu can live well with the identity of Shan Ruijin. They know better than anyone that the real Shan Ruijin is dead, but life must go on."

"What about Cheche?" Mei Susu suddenly spoke.

Xuanyuan Che was stunned: "What?"

Mei Susu looked at him, then smiled and said, "It's okay."

Xuanyuan Che didn't let her fool around so easily. He pinched her face and asked her to look at him: "What did Su Su want to say just now?"

Mei Susu chuckled and stretched out her hand to pull up the corner of Xuanyuan Che's mouth: "Why are you so serious? I just want to ask Cheche which clothes I should wear tomorrow. It's scary to have such a serious face."

"Really?" Xuanyuan Che stared at Mei Susu without blinking, paying attention to her every emotion.

Mei Susu looked at him with clear eyes: "Really? I'll take Cheche back to choose some. Madam Shan picked out two pieces for me. I think they're very good."

Xuanyuan Che didn't notice anything unusual on Mei Susu's face, so he retracted his gaze and stood up while holding her in his arms: "Okay, then I'll go with Susu to pick some."

Mei Susu smiled and hugged his neck. Where Xuanyuan Che couldn't see, the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.

She seemed to be an extremely selfish person, and she didn't even dare to tell Xuanyuan Che the truth about Su Su's death.

Is she also enjoying Su Su's favor now?

If he knew that his beloved Su Su was dead, would he blame her?

Mei Susu didn't know. She thought that before her conscience defeated her selfishness, she could still enjoy this favor with peace of mind.
