Su Zhen knew that Su Shen'er was deliberately reminding herself that although the old lady loved them, she was very unhappy with Yan Huiran. Su Zhen stuck out her tongue, her eyes moved a bit playfully, and she waved her sleeves with one hand.
She said in a long and coquettish tone, "Grandma! Look at them! They actually united to criticize me."
She deliberately chose to go in the opposite direction. As long as she was on the opposite side of others, the old lady would be much less hostile to Yan Huiran.
Sure enough, when the old lady heard her voice, her heart suddenly melted, and her face remained serious as she said, "There is nothing wrong with what your father and eldest sister said, but you should pay more attention when practicing martial arts on weekdays."
Su Zhen nodded a few times in an extremely perfunctory manner, "Oh, I understand! Grandma, let's go in quickly and I'll peel the lotus seeds for you to eat."
"Okay, okay!"
The old lady followed her example, gently scratched her nose, and smiled fondly.
She really had nothing to do with Su Zhen. Ten words from others might not be worth a few words from Su Zhen.
Su Qingyang's eyes were envious, but he had been told since he was a child that he was a bastard. Even in his entire life, he could not catch up with Su Zhen's pace. He had lived in the shadow of Su Zhen since he was a child. He was neither good at literature nor martial arts, and his actions were submissive.
Aunt Liu often asked him to please the old lady, but every time he would be so nervous that he would stutter and hesitate for a long time without speaking. As time went by, his character became more and more timid.
The grandfather and grandson took the lead to walk inside. Su Tingye held Yan Huiran's hand, and the tenderness in his eyes made her heart calm down instantly.
In the main hall, the old lady and Su Tingye were sitting in the main seats, while Su Zhen was sitting on the low stool in front of her, peeling the lotus seeds, and then sending them to them one by one. She looked well-behaved and sensible, completely different from the old lady before she came back.
Two people.
However, everyone has become accustomed to her quirky appearance, not to mention that it would be useless to expose it in front of the old lady. Just because Su Zhen has a habit of saying black things as white, and then white things as black, she takes the opportunity to beat her up.
Dirty water was poured on the other party, causing the old lady to lose her favor.
Yan Huiran held Su Shen'er in her arms, feeling the warmth of her daughter's body, lowering her eyes and smiling bitterly, hiding the sourness in her heart.
Zhen's daughter disguised herself as a man, and the old lady only liked her because she was the 'eldest son' of the family. In addition, Su Qingyang had an unpleasant personality, so she preferred her. If the old lady discovered the truth one day, I'm afraid the consequences would be disastrous.
This lie is getting bigger and bigger, and I don’t know what kind of situation it will lead to in the future.
Su Shen'er raised her little hand to caress Yan Huiran's fair and smooth side face, and then smoothed her frown upwards. Seeing her mother smiling softly, she also giggled.
"Sir, madam, madam, the luncheon has been prepared. Please come to the dining hall." Butler Su is nearly fifty years old and has worked hard for the Su family for half his life. The family has always respected him very much.
"Butler Su, I'm sorry to bother you."
"This is the duty of the old slave. It is all done by the cooks in the kitchen. The old slave is just a supervisor."
"Steward Su's words are serious. The old lady is back today. It is a happy event and everyone in the house will be rewarded." Su Tingye waved his sleeves and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master!" The servants' eyes were filled with joy and they saluted hurriedly.
When the group of people entered the dining hall, they looked at the nearly thirty dishes on the table, a combination of meat and vegetables. Each dish was carefully crafted, with attractive color and fragrant aroma.
They all sat down one after another, and even Aunt Liu and Aunt An arranged their seats. The maids behind them prepared dishes for their respective masters. The concubine was not allowed to serve, but the old lady was obviously in a good mood today, so she gave the permission.
