Chapter 208 The Four Sisters of the Su Family
Li Muxia didn't want to say much to Madam Su, this smiling tiger, but in order to achieve her own goals, she still endured her disgust and chatted with Madam Su.
Finally, Madam Su said, "I really like Mu Xia and An Ran so much. Why don't you stay for lunch today?"
Madam Su was only being polite, but to her surprise, Li Muxia and Li Anran's eyes lit up when they heard this. They nodded and said, "Great! Since Madam Su has so kindly invited us, we sisters won't stand on ceremony. We've heard that the chefs at the Su residence cook very well. We're in for a treat today. Thank you, Madam Su."
Hearing Li Muxia's words, Madam Su was stunned for a moment, but then agreed.
She was just praising the two for being polite; can't she tell she was just being polite?
He smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, okay, don't mention it."
Having achieved her goal, Li Muxia no longer wanted to play games with Madam Su. She made up an excuse and left with Su Lanzhi.
As Madam Su watched the departing group, she felt a pang of resentment. How had she ended up shooting herself in the foot?
Well, this is really bad. If we don't treat them to some good food and drinks today, who knows what rumors will spread.
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still any longer and quickly ordered the kitchen to add more dishes.
Su Rou'er had also heard about Li Muxia and her sister's visit to the mansion, but she was not in the mood to care about them. What she was more concerned about was her own marriage.
After returning yesterday, Su Chengyun scolded Su Rou'er. Although Ling'er claimed responsibility for the incident and Su Chengyun ordered her execution, everyone knew in their hearts who the real mastermind was.
Su Rou'er was also placed under house arrest by Su Chengyun, forced to stay in her own courtyard and wait for her marriage. She was even forbidden from eating in the dining hall; instead, meals were delivered directly to her.
At this moment, Su Rou'er was making a little doll, and upon closer inspection, the birth date and time on it were Su Lanzhi's.
Seeing this, Green Pomelo said, "Miss, are you still angry because Master decided to make Fourth Miss a concubine of Young Master Yun?"
Su Rou'er: "Don't mention that little bitch Lan Zhi to me."
Green Grapefruit: "Miss, why can't you understand?"
Su Rou'er looked at the green pomelo and asked, "What do you mean?"
This green grapefruit is Su Rou'er's maid and also her strategist. She didn't come up the mountain with her this time because she was visiting her family. Otherwise, she would not have agreed to the young lady using this method to ruin Su Lanzhi's reputation. There are too many flaws in this matter, and it would be easy for someone to find a handle against her.
Green Pomelo: "Miss, how could you forget? The struggles in the inner quarters are extremely fierce. Young Master Yun has so many women in his inner quarters. Once Fourth Miss enters that inner quarters, it won't even be your turn to make a move. Those women will be enough."
Upon hearing what Lvyou said, Su Rou'er suddenly realized, put down the little figure in her hand, looked at Lvyou and said, "It has to be you. That Ling'er is a fool. She can't even handle a small matter and almost harmed me."
Seeing Su Rou'er mention Ling'er with a sinister look on her face, she showed no remorse whatsoever for Ling'er dying because she took the blame for her.
She felt a pang of sadness; if she hadn't been somewhat useful, she probably would have ended up like Ling'er.
Although he felt somewhat uncomfortable, he still put on a respectful demeanor and said, "It's all thanks to Miss's excellent guidance."
Su Rou'er has figured things out and is in a much better mood.
Upon hearing that Li Muxia and Li Anran had arrived, Su Jinyun had someone tidy up a bit before heading to Su Lanzhi's courtyard.
At this moment, Li Muxia was telling them some jokes and corny humor she had heard in modern times, only expressed in the way that was relevant to this era, which made the two of them laugh out loud.
When Su Jinyun arrived, she saw the three of them bursting into laughter. She felt a pang of jealousy, but outwardly maintained a happy expression.
He spoke up, "What happened? Everyone seems so happy."
Upon hearing the sound, everyone looked over.
Su Lanzhi was taken aback when she saw who it was: "Third Sister, what brings you here?"
This third sister has never been to her courtyard before, so why did she suddenly come today?
Upon hearing Su Lanzhi's words, Su Jinyun said, "Fourth sister, what are you saying? Isn't it normal for sisters to visit each other often? Besides, I heard that Mu Xia and An Ran are here."
At this point, the overly familiar man sat down next to Li Muxia and said, "Lanzhi, really, Muxia and Anran are here, and you didn't even tell me."
Although Li Muxia was naturally outgoing, for some reason, she just couldn't bring herself to like Su Jinyun. She always felt that Su Jinyun's shifty eyes held a calculating motive, and that her approach to them wasn't for pure purposes. Unfortunately, she had no proof.
Li Muxia smiled awkwardly and said, "It's not Lan Zhi's fault, we were just afraid of disturbing Miss Su."
Hearing the distance in Li Muxia's words, Su Jinyun's eyes flickered, then returned to normal as she said, "Muxia, you're being too formal. You call Fourth Sister Lanzhi, but you call me Third Miss Su. Do you not want to be friends with me?"
Looking at Su Jinyun's aggrieved expression, outsiders would think that I had bullied her.
She quickly replied, "No, then I'll call you Jinyun from now on."
Su Jinyun then nodded, her aggrieved expression gone, and said, "Yes, we are good friends, calling each other by name makes it feel more intimate."
Li Muxia felt somewhat helpless. She genuinely didn't have a good impression of Su Jinyun. Although Su Jinyun hadn't done anything wrong, she felt deep down that Su Jinyun wasn't as simple as she appeared. She had a feeling that Su Jinyun was very calculating.
With Su Jinyun's arrival, the previously lively atmosphere became somewhat subdued, and everyone spoke less fearlessly than before, engaging in only casual conversation. It wasn't until the servants called them to go eat that Li Muxia and the others seemed to feel a sense of relief.
Su Chengyun had already heard from Madam Su that the Li sisters had stayed for dinner. He was quite pleased; the fact that they stayed meant they had a good relationship with Su Lanzhi. If outsiders saw this, wouldn't they think the Su family and the General's family had a good relationship?
Su Chengyun was sitting in the dining hall waiting when he saw Li Muxia and the others come in. He quickly stood up and said, "Miss Li has arrived. Please have a seat."
The other women stood up to greet Li Muxia and the others.
Su Chengyun saw that Su Jinyun had also come with Li Muxia and the others, and seemed to have a good relationship with them, so he nodded approvingly.
He glanced at Su Xue'er, who looked displeased, and shook his head. These two legitimate daughters had truly disappointed him.
Li Muxia and Li Anran bowed and sat down to the left of Madam Su, while Su Lanzhi and Su Jinyun also took their seats.
