The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 83 New Year’s Eve

  New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve.

In the main hall of Su Mansion, servants were busy coming and going.

Aunt Zhao stood beside the old lady and said with a smile: "In the past, the old lady always complained about the lack of people, but this year it is more lively. My uncle and his wife's family are all here. The old lady must be very happy."

 “As you get older, you are better at teasing me.”

The old lady glanced at Aunt Zhao, but she couldn't suppress the smile in her eyes.

 “Ouch, this slave is too talkative!”

Mama Zhao pretended to hit herself, which made the old lady laugh.

Su Waner smiled and served tea to the old lady, "Grandma, Aunt Zhao is right. It's so lively this year, and my granddaughter is very happy to see it."

“When the New Year is over, you will be fifteen, and it’s time to talk about marriage. When I came to my grandmother’s side, I was so young, and in a blink of an eye, I have grown so big. Grandma is really reluctant to let her go.”

“Grandma, as long as you need Wan’er, Wan’er will always be by your side.”

Su Waner said, leaning on the old lady's shoulder, her voice was a little muffled.

 But there is a dark light shining in the lowered eyes, talking about marriage?

 She will never marry Li Rui, how can that man be worthy of her!

The old lady touched Su Waner's head and said reluctantly: "Grandma doesn't want you to get married so soon, but grandma can't hold you back all the time. You can't stay married all your life, right?"

“Grandma, Wan’er is willing, as long as you don’t let Wan’er go.”

 “Silly boy, how could grandma not want you?”

Looking at the deep love between the old lady and Su Waner, Grandma Zhao picked up the handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

 The relationship between the old lady and the eldest lady is really deep.

 “Grandma!”

Lu Xueying's voice came from outside the house, and soon, people ran in.

 Behind him were Lu Xueya and Lu Huaiyuan.

The old lady patted Su Waner, and Su Waner also stood up, rubbed the corners of her eyes, and said to Lu Xueying: "Cousin Xueying is here."

“Sister Wan’er, grandma, what were you talking about just now?”

Lu Xueying took the old lady's hand affectionately, and seemed to call Su Waner enthusiastically, but the eyes falling on Su Waner were not as enthusiastic as she showed.

Su Wan'er pretended not to notice and said with a smile, "I just said a few words, it's nothing."

 “Grandma.”

Lu Xueying shook the old lady's arm and looked at her with shining eyes.

The old lady smiled helplessly: "You girl, you want to know everything. You are exactly like your mother when she was a child."

“Grandma, Xueying is my mother’s daughter, so of course she is the same as my mother. Just tell me!”

“We were just talking about your sister Wan’er’s marriage.”

The old lady couldn't bear Lu Xueying's coquettish behavior and returned.

"Marriage? Is it with that brother of the Li family? Sister Wan'er, the brother of the Li family is a talented person. You have to hurry up. If someone robs you, you may not be able to encounter such a good thing again."

Lu Xueying glanced at Su Waner and teased her.

Su Wan'er's face froze slightly, and she pursed her lips and forced a smile: "Sister Xueying is joking, my parents make all the decisions about marriage. I can't hold on to anything."

"Ah, that would be difficult. Sister Wan'er's parents are not here." Lu Xueying said, as if realizing something, she patted her mouth again, "I said the wrong thing again. Sister Wan'er doesn't want to be here." It’s my fault!”

"It's fine."

Su Waner squeezed her hands and finally suppressed her anger.

Lu Xueying smiled: "That's good."

Although Lu Xueying temporarily cooperated with Su Waner due to the matter of Prince Jin, in her heart, she did not like either Su Waner or Su Leyun.

Especially Su Waner, a child born to a peasant woman, but she was asked to call her sister, she felt embarrassed!

The old lady saw the undercurrent between the two of them and said in a deep tone: "I have my own plans for Wan'er's marriage, so you don't have to worry. Xueying, why haven't your father and mother come yet?"

“Back to grandma, daddy was called to the palace in the afternoon, and mother is waiting for daddy at the door.”

"Um."

 The old lady responded.

At this time, Su Leyun took Sun Jiarou on his arm and walked into the main hall.

Su Ye also followed behind.

 “grandmother.”

Su Leyun and Su Ye saluted.

 “Well, let’s all get up.”

 The old lady nodded, but she was not as cordial as when she faced Su Waner and Lu Xueying before.

She glanced at Su Leyun. After calming down that day, she felt that she didn't know her granddaughter well enough.

Even, there was a hint of fear that made her sleepless and uneasy.

Su Leyun didn't know what the old lady was thinking, so he poured a cup of hot tea for Sun Jiarou, "Mom, please drink some tea to warm yourself up first."

 “Isn’t father back yet?”

Su Ye looked around, but did not see Su Hou's figure, and was confused.

Today is New Year's Eve, and the government office has left work early. Why hasn't Su Hou returned home yet?

 Did he go to that woman again?

Thinking of this, Su Ye glanced at Sun Jiarou, who had a pale face, and her face looked a little ugly.

"The Marquis sent someone to tell him that the Holy Emperor ordered him to enter the palace. Perhaps he is still on his way back."

Sun Jiarou explained, meeting Su Ye's eyes and shaking her head slightly.

Su Ye could only swallow this breath.

"My brother-in-law is highly regarded by the saints, and I will have to rely on my brother-in-law in the future."

 “Brother, you’re welcome.”

The voices of Su Hou and Lu Hong came, and they walked into the main hall with the same smile on their faces.

Su Leyun narrowed his eyes and thought that Lu Hong was appointed as the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate later that year. This must be the reason for this.

 “Daddy!”

As soon as Lu Xueying saw Lu Hong, she rushed towards him.

Lu Hong has a solemn face and a majestic body. He looks inaccessible, but he is extremely gentle towards his children: "Xueying hasn't caused any trouble to your mother and grandmother in the past few days, has she?"

 “Dad, I don’t have one!”

 Lu Xueying snorted softly, and when she saw Su Changying behind Lu Hong, she quickly said: "Mom, tell me, am I being very good these days and not causing trouble?"

"Your father is joking with you." Su Changying laughed, "Xueying has been really good these days."

 “Dad, you see, my mother said so.”

 Lu Hong stretched out his hand and rubbed Lu Xueying's head, "That's because Daddy made a mistake. Daddy apologizes to you."

 “That’s pretty much it.”

 Lu Xueying pouted.

Lu Hong stepped forward and saluted the old lady, "My son-in-law, Lu Hong, would like to say hello to my mother-in-law. I have been busy outside for the past few days and I haven't had time to say hello to you yet. I hope you can forgive me."

“This is how I work for the Tian family, so how can I blame you? I just heard you two talking, but what’s the happy event?”

 The old lady waved her hand and asked.

Su Changqing and Lu Hong looked at each other, and the latter raised his hands and said: "My mother-in-law always said that she wanted Changying and her children to stay in the capital, but my son-in-law was useless and could only make them go to Suzhou with him to suffer. But now, Mother-in-law doesn’t have to worry about this anymore.”

"you mean…"

 The old lady had a guess in her mind, and her face showed a bit of joy.

“My son-in-law will be able to stay in the capital and work in the future.”
