As the night falls, the hazy mist, like a girl's veil, embellishes Monsoon City with a sense of mystery.
Every household has already lit up the colorful lanterns, making Monsoon City even more lively.
"Yuling, go early and come back early."
Aunt Su sent Leng Yuling to the door. Her elegant face seemed a little pale under the moonlight, which made me feel pity for her.
"Aunt Su, please go back. I will give you a surprise after tonight." Leng Yuling pulled Aunt Su's hand and said playfully.
Her face has been covered with gauze, revealing a pair of smart eyes, giving people a mysterious beauty.
Aunt Su couldn't help but regret that such a pair of beautiful eyes were ruined by those mottled black spots, turning a woman who could conquer a country into an ugly duckling in an instant. This was definitely a pity.
However, she felt a little comforted when she saw that Leng Yuling was not inferior to her appearance, but was an optimistic and cheerful girl.
"Girl, Aunt Su doesn't want any surprises. The Song family is a famous family. Don't be rude if you go there."
Aunt Su didn't care about the surprise that Leng Yuling said. What she cared about was why Leng Yuling was invited by the Song family? Maybe it was because this girl's elixir really had merit that people invited her.
Bar?
She didn't have too many thoughts about this. She should be happy that Leng Yuling could get the invitation from the Song family.
And this girl knew she was going to a banquet and ate all the food she cooked. Aunt Su felt a warm feeling in her heart when she thought of this.
"I know. I'll just eat when I go and don't talk. That's okay." Leng Yuling smiled, revealing two cute dimples.
"Can you still eat it?"
Aunt Su was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
This smile was so charming that Leng Yuling couldn't help but find it pleasing to the eye.
"Aunt Su, you look so beautiful when you smile. You are no worse than those ladies from famous families."
"Aunt Su is old, how can she compare with those ladies of the world?" Aunt Su said faintly with a smile on her face, and there seemed to be a touch of sadness between her brows.
"No way. Aunt Su looks like an 18-year-old girl, so beautiful that it makes people drool. Do you think so, Mengmeng?" Leng Yuling looked serious and asked Mengmeng in her arms for advice.
.
The little guy Mengmeng squeaked happily, apparently agreeing with Leng Yuling's words.
Silver Wolf looked at these two idiots and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
However, he also agreed with Leng Yuling's opinion that Aunt Su's skin was fair and delicate, and she was indeed like a girl.
He didn't understand. With Aunt Su's conditions and background, she was definitely not a bad person. Could it be that she was a descendant of a declining aristocracy?
"Okay, stop talking so much. Go quickly and don't keep people waiting."
"Um."
Aunt Su looked at Leng Yuling's fading figure, but felt inexplicably sad in her heart. Then she shook her head helplessly and walked into the house.
…
…
Song Mansion.
Song Chengwen was rescued, which made Song Lingkong very happy. In order to express the Song family's gratitude to Leng Yuling, a luxurious banquet was specially arranged, and the people who could attend the table were all core figures of the Song family.
At this banquet, Song Lingkong sat at the head of the table, while his wife Ji Yan sat on his left. Song Shaoling and Song Shaomei were under Ji Yan.
As for Song Lingkong's right hand, there is a middle-aged man with a gloomy face sitting there. He is Song Lingkong's eldest brother, Song Lingqun, who holds a lot of power in the Song family.
Among the rest, there are several core figures of the Song family, sitting under Song Lingqun.
"Father, why hasn't the girl in blue come yet?" Song Shaomei glanced at the uncles around her and asked quietly.
Even though Song Shaomei was young and ignorant, he could still tell that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the table. Except for his father, the other uncles all showed displeasure, as if they were unhappy with the fact that the girl in blue was late.
"Perhaps... the girl in blue had something to do and was delayed?" Song Lingkong waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
For him, the fact that the girl in blue was able to save Song Chengwen was a great blessing to the Song family, and he felt it was natural to wait for such a benefactor.
"Humph, what a big racket!"
Suddenly, Song Lingqun next to him snorted coldly, took a sip of wine, and said coldly: "Our Song family is one of the six major families after all. How dare a mere alchemist dare to put on such a big air?"
Song Lingkong frowned slightly. He understood why Song Lingqun looked so unhappy. He was probably because his son Song Chengyi was locked up in a dark room.
"Uncle, the girl in blue is not only a fifth-grade alchemist, but also saved my elder brother. We, the Song family, cannot repay such kindness. The girl in blue is not someone who likes to put on airs. I believe she was burdened by the situation."
Seeing the opportunity, Song Shaoling quickly explained.
"Shaoling, you are still young and have not been deeply involved in the world. It is understandable that you don't know how sinister people are. Maybe the girl in blue thought that she was kind to the Song family, so she forgot about it and put on airs. This way, she can show off her ability.
There are quite a few people." A person sitting next to Song Lingqun said with a look of disdain.
"Uncle Song Yan, what do you mean by this?" Song Shaoling's face darkened and she said unhappily.
She may still have little experience, but she can still see that her uncle and this uncle Song Yan were angry with the girl in blue because of Song Chengyi's matter.
"Shaoling, your Uncle Song Yan is doing it for your own good, and is afraid that you will be deceived. She is just a fifth-grade alchemist, and we in the Song family don't need to look at her face. Don't forget, our Song family also has a fifth-grade alchemist.
Pharmacist." Song Lingqun curled his lips and said earnestly, then grabbed the chopsticks and pinched a delicate bear paw.
Song Lingqun's move not only made Song Shaoling's face darken, but Song Lingkong also had a gloomy face.
The host has already moved his chopsticks before the guests arrive, which is undoubtedly disrespectful to the guests. Another thing is that Song Lingqun does not take Song Lingkong as the head of the family seriously.
"Well, this braised bear paw tastes pretty good."
Song Lingqun ignored everyone's gaze and tasted the delicious bear paws by himself, which made the atmosphere at the table become a little stiff. As for the people around him, they all looked solemn and did not dare to make any move.
Song Shaoling wanted to explode, but Song Lingkong gave her a look that forced her to hold back the anger in her heart.
She already understood that the uncle in front of her was so confident and must have made some preparations. Before the girl in blue came, he made such a bold move, but she didn't know what he wanted to do.
At this time, a servant hurried over and said to Song Lingkong: "Master, Leng... the second young master of the Leng family is here to visit."
"What?"
Song Lingkong was stunned for a moment, puzzled that the second young master of the Leng family would visit at this time, and Song Lingqun also frowned, showing confusion.
