Chapter 148 A rare good wife in the world
Shangguan Xiaoxuan's face turned pale and blue after hearing Su Yue's words. Her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of anger and shame.
I wanted to refute, but when I opened my mouth, I found that I didn't know where to start.
Those sarcastic words that had been brewing in his heart seemed to be blocked by Su Yue's momentum.
Shangguan Xiaoting also stood there in a daze. Her hand, which had been raised high to attack, dropped down weakly, and her arrogant aura disappeared without a trace in an instant.
She widened her eyes and looked at Su Yue in disbelief.
It was as if the Su Yue in front of her was no longer the newcomer who had to act according to their wishes, but a powerful character that she could not easily provoke.
The two of them just stood there blankly, with extremely awkward expressions on their faces.
Shangguan Xiaoxuan clenched her teeth and unconsciously clenched her hands into fists at her sides, but she didn't dare to attack.
Shangguan Xiaoting's eyes began to dodge, not daring to meet Su Yue's sharp gaze.
The previous arrogance was now completely gone, leaving only fear and anxiety in his heart.
When Shangguan Jing saw her daughter being refuted by Su Yue in this way, a look of displeasure appeared on her face.
Her brows furrowed slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes, and she was about to speak for her daughters.
But then he thought again, compared with Su Yue, his two daughters could not compare with each other in terms of talent or strategy.
Not to mention that Su Yue is now the top scorer in the imperial examination, her ability to remain calm and respond wittily in the face of danger is far beyond the reach of her daughters.
If Su Yue can take first place in the next imperial examination, his future will be limitless and many aristocratic families will be vying to please him.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Jing weighed the pros and cons in her mind and felt that it was not wise to have a falling out with Su Yue at this moment.
So, she could only suppress her unhappiness and laughed it off: "Oh, we are all family, don't be so aggressive when talking, it's just a small misunderstanding, it's all fine after we talk it out."
Su Yue was so smart that she naturally understood Shangguan Jing's thoughts.
She didn't want to make things too awkward, so she followed Shangguan Jing's lead and said, "Mother is right. Su Yue was anxious for a moment, and her words were a bit harsh. I hope my sisters won't take it to heart."
Su Yue's tone became much softer, and the expression on her face returned to its usual gentleness.
She continued, "It's a happy occasion for us all to be together today. Don't let such trivial matters ruin our mood."
Shangguan Jing saw Su Yue was so sensible, and her expression gradually eased: "Su Yue is still sensible, let's continue with the meal."
The storm was temporarily calmed down, and everyone started eating again, but the atmosphere was still not as harmonious as before.
In a corner of this bustling and turbulent dining hall, the little boy stood quietly, his small figure looking a little lonely.
He did not sit at the table to eat, but his clear and bright eyes were never idle for a moment, observing intently the words and actions of everyone present.
His gaze first fell on Su Yue, and as he watched her calmly deal with the difficulties posed by the Shangguan sisters, a hint of admiration and curiosity flashed in his eyes.
When Shangguan Xiaoxuan and Shangguan Xiaoting got angry, he clenched his fists nervously, as if he was secretly worried about Su Yue.
He looked at Shangguan Jing, carefully capturing every subtle change in expression on the face of the mistress of the Shangguan family, trying to read her thoughts.
The little boy's eyes were full of intimacy and dependence towards the Shangguan brothers, and he was always paying attention to their joys and sorrows.
His eyes moved rapidly following the words and actions of the crowd, as if he wanted to deeply imprint this complex situation and everyone's personality traits in his mind.
Although he is still young, his focused expression seems as if he is trying to understand the various subtle relationships in the adult world.
After finishing the meal, Su Yue clapped her hands gracefully, and saw a group of servants filing in, holding all kinds of carefully prepared gifts in their hands.
The first thing that catches your eye is an exquisite sandalwood box. When you open it, you will find a set of dazzling jewelry inside. The gems sparkle charmingly under the candlelight.
Next came several pieces of colorful and soft silk fabrics, the delicate touch of which made it clear that they were of top quality.
Then there are several priceless antiques, calligraphy and paintings, each of which is a rare treasure.
Shangguan Jing's originally tense expression instantly turned into one of great surprise, her eyes widened with disbelief and joy.
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and her voice trembled slightly: "Su Yue, you are such a thoughtful child."
Su Yue smiled slightly, her tone gentle and respectful: "Mother, this is all my little gift.
Amu and Achen often tell me about your hard work, saying that you manage the entire Shangguan family, do everything yourself, and keep the house in order.
Your wisdom and decisiveness have made the Shangguan family prosper, and your kindness and tolerance have made your family feel warm.
In Su Yue's heart, you are the model of virtue and good housekeeping, and a role model that all women in the world should learn from.
These small gifts are insignificant compared to your efforts. I just hope they can make my mother happy."
Shangguan Jing was so delighted by Su Yue's praise that her eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled. She nodded repeatedly: "Oh, you have such a sweet mouth. You really know how to make people happy."
Seeing Shangguan Jing in a good mood, Su Yue struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Mother, there is one thing that Su Yue is worried about.
Now that we are gone, we won't be able to take care of you and dad. Su Yue knows that you, mother, have always been kind-hearted and compassionate, and you are especially caring and considerate towards your husband.
You are a rare good wife in this world. You will definitely take good care of my father and make him safe and happy, right?"
Shangguan Jing was currently immersed in the immense joy of receiving the gift, and without a second thought, she responded, "Of course, don't worry."
Shangguan Haomu and Shangguan Haochen stood aside, their eyes of gratitude fixed on Su Yue.
They knew in their hearts that Su Yue was using her intelligence and clever means to protect her father.
Shangguan Haomu's eyes were filled with admiration. He gently pulled Su Yue's sleeve and said, "Yuer, thank you. I am really moved and impressed by your thoughtfulness."
Shangguan Haochen's eyes were filled with tears, and his voice trembled slightly: "Sister, we all remember your kindness in our hearts. With you around, we feel extremely at ease."
Su Yue looked at them, smiled gently, and signaled with her eyes that they should not take it to heart.
Su Yue turned around and handed some of the things she had prepared to Xu Qiming: "Dad, these are our little gifts, please keep them.
We know you're usually frugal, but you can't treat yourself badly now. We'll send more soon.
Don’t be reluctant to use it. Eat what you need to eat and wear what you need to wear.”
