Imperial Treasure-Chapter 1095 - 649: A Chance Encounter

Sui Yi had already picked out the hairpin. After handing over the silver tael, the woman wrapped up the hairpin and put it into a small basket. Sui Yi took it, then looked at Jingzhao Ning.

"Then that’s all,"

She then took her leave.

Jingzhao Ning was left standing there in a daze for quite a while.

Due to Wei Zhenzhen, it was incredibly difficult for Sui Yi to form social connections with others. This was evident from how seldom she was seen interacting with people in her own shop.

An old antique dealer was merely someone who happened to save her at the right time. As for others who had crossed paths with her in recent months and wanted to follow her, she mostly turned them away.

Jingzhao Ning was one of them.

Sui Yi didn’t pay it much mind. Holding the basket filled with various hairpins and ornaments in one hand, her long sleeves fluttered as she walked into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Coincidentally, as she entered, someone was about to leave.

Their eyes met.

In the silence.

"Oh! Aren’t you...?"

"Ah! Miss Sui!"

Song Yuzhi couldn’t help but exclaim, her eyes seemingly sparkling. Interestingly, the man beside her also looked pleasantly surprised, almost speaking at the same time. Although the words differed, their tone and pitch were surprisingly similar.

However, one could still hear a hint of uncertainty and doubt in the former’s voice.

The latter, on the other hand, was certainly certain and delighted.

Sui Yi glanced over the two and noticed some resemblance in their facial features.

Siblings?

After observing, Sui Yi slightly nodded and said in a calm voice, "Young Master Song."

Now that she knew about the Four Great Clans, how could she not guess the identity of the siblings in front of her?

Song Que’s fourth son and youngest daughter — Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi.

These two were also the Song Family members most often seen outside.

One was good at business, the other was lively and charming in the Jianghu.

They didn’t inherit even a bit from Song Que, but the heritage of the Song Family was still evident on them.

For example, Song Shidao quickly suppressed his joy and said, "Miss Sui, I’ve been looking for you for so long... but later, I didn’t dare to search anymore."

His tone was light and seemed to have some implications.

Later?

That must refer to the incident in Yangzhou.

Indeed, many people were looking for her at that time, mentioning her everywhere.

You Juanniao was killed by her, and the Demon Sect spread the word.

Yuwen Huaji and others from the Yuwen Clan were killed by her, and the Yuwen Family also spread the word.

However, at that time, various uprisings and warlord conflicts were occurring, and the Yuwen Family was too busy to care, while internal strife seemed to arise within the Demon Sect, along with Cihang Calming Studio’s true involvement...

So people under the heavens anticipated an upcoming storm, but suddenly, Sui Yi was not involved at all, and no one expected the Song siblings, who had not taken action to investigate, accidentally ran into her!

Sui Yi slightly frowned and said, "Have you eaten?"

Her intention was that this was not the place to reminisce, and if there was nothing else, they could leave if they’ve eaten...

Song Shidao immediately understood, though he did have something to discuss with Sui Yi, but before he could speak.

"No, no, my fourth brother and I haven’t eaten yet."

"Isn’t that right, Fourth Brother?"

Um... Song Shidao, stunned, nodded seriously: "Yes."

Eh, if it weren’t for having business, he definitely wouldn’t be conspiring with his little sister to tell such a bald-faced lie.

"In that case, let’s have a meal together then... By the way, is Mr. Sui already engaged?"

Over the months in Jianghu, how could Sui Yi not be aware of the legendary actions of the Song Family’s determined daughter, who heroically aids those in distress?

She glanced at the sky and said, "A friend has yet to arrive."

She then looked at the hesitant Song Shidao: "Let’s go together."

Song Shidao sighed in relief and, with familiarity, led Sui Yi and her companion upstairs...

In Xiaoxiang Pavilion, certain high-status guests were clearly documented, and the Song siblings were among the top-ranking guests. Yet they did not treat Sui Yi as an accessory; on the contrary, the shopkeeper’s eyes lit up upon seeing Sui Yi, and he hurried over, bowing: "I heard Mr. Sui was coming today. The owner instructed me long ago to prepare a plum room for you. Please come this way."

The Pavilion Master of Xiaoxiang Pavilion was known for his high standards, always valuing the person rather than the status, and only offering hospitality to those truly remarkable. No one expected such attentiveness today.

However, neither Song Shidao nor Song Yuzhi found it strange. With Sui Yi’s demeanor and grace, she was worthy of admiration from anyone in the world. Besides, she possessed much more than just appearances.

Sui Yi merely furrowed her brows slightly and nodded: "Then thank you for your trouble."

After the three entered the private room.

Song Yuzhi proactively said, "Mr. Sui, have you met the owner of Xiaoxiang Pavilion?"

Speaking of the title "Mr.," Sui Yi couldn’t understand why almost everyone, intentionally or not, addressed her as "Mr." She didn’t mind, but she found it perplexing.
