An Qingran is determined to take revenge in this life, and no one can stop her.
So, she began the first step of formal revenge!
Lian Jinrong and An Yanran did not expect that they would be invited to the Dongnuang Pavilion's family dinner.
In the afternoon, they thought they had received a scolding from their father and that they had no hope of showing up in public. However, they did not expect that it was An Fu who came to inform them in person, and he was a close aide of the general.
Presumably, their father still thinks of them well.
Lian Jinrong even dressed up carefully, wearing a set of aqua blue dresses. She looked more than a year or two younger. Looking at the beautiful face and moon still in the mirror, her depressed mood in the afternoon flashed away!
An Yanran saw that her mother was more beautiful than her mother, and she felt sorry for her mother. She was no worse than An Qingran. There was no reason for her mother and daughter to always be below them!
In fact, she now understands that as long as she gets her father's attention, she will have a chance to defeat them.
However, she was a little embarrassed about how to get her father's attention. She had failed at Yuehua Temple before and left a very bad impression on her father. What should she do?
The dinner went as scheduled.
The lights in the Dongnuan Pavilion were brightly lit, the candles as thick as a child's arms were shining brightly, and the bright tile lampshades illuminated every part of the room.
Lian Jinrong arrived very early and the general hadn't arrived yet. She looked at Lian Jinyu and said, "Sister, what do you want me to do?"
Lian Jinyu looked at her bright appearance and couldn't help but sigh, she is also a beauty, but she is a bit cruel!
If she hadn't squeezed into the general's mansion, he might not have been so hostile to her.
She didn't speak, but Lian Jinrong had an embarrassed look on her face: "Maybe my sister came early..."
"Well, you came just in time. I have a scripture here that was given by Master Liao Kong. It is the best way to calm down and cultivate one's mind. If you have time, you should copy it!" Lian Jinyu asked someone to look for the scripture.
.
Lian Jinrong's face turned red and white: "Sister, are you saying that my sister has a weak character and needs to recuperate?"
"You don't have to think too much. This is a matter of cultivating blessings. Do more or less, and it's all your own. I can't give you half of it..." Lian Jinyu said half-jokingly.
Because she took back the management rights of the General's Mansion and got the General's full attention, she was in a good mood, and even Jin Rong didn't feel so dazzling when she looked at her.
Lian Jinrong's mouth stiffened for a moment, and then she smiled: "My sister is very considerate, but my sister is not as good at this. Therefore, it makes sense for the general not to let my sister take charge of the house. It's just that my sister has been working hard since then. She doesn't know.
Those family members are treacherous and sneaky behind the scenes. If you don’t have sharp eyes, you will be deceived by them if you look wrong..."
"Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention!"
Just here, An Yanran walked in. She looked around, but she didn't see An Qingran. She felt a little strange.
Soon after they were officially seated, An Yanran raised her wine glass and gave everyone a toast, speaking very grandly.
An Zhongtao didn't say anything, he just raised the cup and drank. The expression on his face softened a little. An Qingran understood that An Yanran was also his daughter after all, so she sighed and drank the wine.
An Yanran had a smile on her face.
An Qingran also smiled and said: "My sister has become more and more obedient recently..."
"If I can give you advice from time to time, I would be willing to listen. But I am very busy now and I can't even see my sister..." An Yanran said.
An Qingran knew that she wanted her father to ask her what she had done.
She also knew that she was looking for herself in her yard, but she didn't know that there was another thing, that is, what she was doing, which was enough to make her stunned for a while.
Lian Jinrong also raised her glass and said with a smile: "Sister, you have worked hard these days, I should respect you."
Lian Jinyu said: "Sister, you are so polite. You are just as tired at home as I am, and you are working hard too!"
An Qingran was still thinking in her heart that her mother was really a good person. She knew clearly what others were doing behind their backs, but as long as she said nice things, she was embarrassed to refute them face to face.
Although An Zhongtao was a little dissatisfied with Lian Jinrong and his daughter for a while, it was still a reunion dinner, so naturally it couldn't be too serious and ugly, but the knot in his heart was still not resolved.
An Yanran was really embarrassed. Everyone in the capital didn't know that his younger daughter was jealous of her older daughter and made slanderous remarks in front of everyone!
At this moment, Grandma Hong came in, holding a plate in her hand and filling dishes for everyone. Only six dishes were placed on the table. Logically speaking, they should all have been served long ago.
Lian Jinrong didn't dare to speak today. Anyway, it was the banquet arranged by Lian Jinyu. She was enjoying it and it was best if she made a joke.
Lian Jinyu spoke: "Mother Hong, why are you so slow? Urge the people in the kitchen to hurry up!"
An Zhongtao said from the side: "What? You haven't been at home these days, so what happened to the people in the kitchen?"
This was obviously meant for Lian Jinrong.
Lian Jinrong didn't sound like it, but she didn't dare to answer the question. She was feeling depressed and secretly hating that this banquet would not be a good one.
How can I get back in this game?
Before she could speak, Grandma Hong said: "Because the maids in the house have been busy with cleaning. Madam just asked her to make the lanterns, but they haven't finished their work. They might as well let Cui'er and others help, but I don't know.
What do you think, madam?"
Lian Jinrong nodded: "It turns out that the girls in my sister's house are not good enough. Just say something and my sister will help. What does this mean? Cui'er, go ahead!"
"Yes, madam!" Xiaocui bowed to Lian Jinrong and walked out.
An Qingran suddenly said: "Mother, this maid is really weird. Why is she calling her madam to my aunt? I'm sorry her eyes are so hard to use!"
Hearing this, Lian Jinrong's face suddenly changed color. She looked at An Qingran and said, "Qingran, I must have seen it wrong. Why did she call me madam? She should have called you mother..."
"That's what it sounds like to me!" An Qingran raised her eyebrows and smiled sweetly, "Maybe I heard it wrong!"
An Zhongtao heard it clearly, but he didn't care. Now that An Qingran said this, he suddenly felt something was wrong and said, "This maid is from your house? Why are you so unruly?"
Lian Jinrong turned around and drank at Cui'er and said, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so unruly? How do I usually teach you?"
Cui'er immediately knelt on the ground: "Madam, Cui'er is following your usual teachings. I dare not disobey. Didn't you let all the slaves call you Madam?"
Lian Jinrong raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "You idiot, why don't you get out of here quickly? Why did I teach you to shout like this? Are you stupid, but I don't even understand the dignity of others?"
