MTL - The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 15 The eldest lady stole the bracelet

Hearing what King Jin said, cold sweat broke out on Su Hou's forehead. He was surprised and happy in his heart. He glanced at Su Leyun meaningfully and tentatively spoke.

"How dare you bother Your Highness with the affairs of the household? It's my daughter who is ignorant. I apologize to you on her behalf."

The King of Jin smiled half-heartedly, looking at Su Leyun with slightly raised eyes.

Su Leyun's eyes averted, and he felt uneasy in his heart. When King Jin came this time, there was something in his words. What was his intention?

In her previous life, she only knew that King Jin was cold-hearted and cold-faced, but she didn't know that he could act so wantonly.

Mingmu dared to mix the family members of the courtiers, and he is not afraid that others will say that he can help his gangs, and the battle is overwhelming.

Before she could finish thinking, King Jin spoke again, and his words were shocking.

“This is not only Suhou’s family matter, but also a matter of concern to this king...”

 Before he finished speaking, the final note was slightly raised, which was thought-provoking.

The King of Jin stopped ordering and picked up the tea cup again. Everyone understood the meaning of his words and had their own thoughts. For a while, the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Su Leyun clenched the jade pendant in her hand tightly and frowned. She didn't expect that a whim in the inn would lead to a big trouble.

The King of Jin wanted to use her to bring the Sun Mansion and the Su Mansion under his banner, giving him a bargaining chip on the road to seizing the throne.

The road to seizing the direct line has always been dangerous, and she didn't want to get involved in this muddy water.

 But now that King Jin was speaking so firmly, she was unable to refute it at all.

Sun Jiarou had a smile in her eyes. The more she looked at King Jin, the more satisfied she became. He had a noble status, a dignified character and outstanding appearance.

 She took Su Leyun's hand and patted it, her voice deliberately lowered and she could not conceal her joy.

 “My daughter really has good taste.”

Su Leyun smiled helplessly, his eyes moved slightly, and he glared at King Jin without any trace.

 Wang Jin took in her little gestures and smiled indulgently, feeling even more interested. Among the noble girls in the capital, who wouldn’t have tried so hard to marry him into Prince Jin’s palace?

 She is quite good, with a gloomy look on her face, as if this king is not worthy of her.

Su Waner saw the interaction between the two in her eyes, and the fingers in her sleeves pinched into her palms.

At the palace banquets on weekdays, there are so many high-ranking ladies, fat and thin, who can’t win the eyes of King Jin even though they are so attentive. How can a country girl win the eyes of King Jin!

Even if you want to choose Su Hou Mansion for marriage, you should choose her Su Waner. Where can I get her Su Leyun!

 At the other end, Su Hou thought for a long time, suddenly laughed, stood up and raised his hands to King Jin.

“Your Highness, don’t worry, I know what to do. Tomorrow I will join hands with the elders of the clan to come up with a genealogy and add Yun’er’s name.”

Now the King of Jin is the most likely prince to inherit the throne. If he can get married, the Su family will be in a prosperous future.

 A mere prince is nothing. If this happens, he will be the head of the country from now on!

If you want to become the king of Jin now, the first step is to determine Su Leyun's title as the legitimate daughter. Only the legitimate daughter of the Hou Mansion can be worthy of being admitted to the Heavenly Family.

Sun Jiarou stroked Su Leyun's shoulder, her eyes a little moist. Her daughter could finally be included in the family tree and regain her status as a legitimate daughter.

Su Leyun shook her hand back, feeling cold in his heart.

Even a biological daughter cannot compete with power and wealth.

Seeing the sadness in Su Leyun's eyes, King Jin frowned slightly, put down the tea cup, and exchanged a tacit look with Su Hou.

 “That’s very good.”

Then he turned his eyes to the old lady and said curiously: "When I first entered, I heard that something seemed to be lost in your mansion, and I was about to search it. Just in time, I brought some people with me to help."

The old lady stood up in a hurry and said that she did not dare to trouble the prince.

The King of Jin only thought she was being polite and ignored her, and continued to order his subordinates.

"Yun'er's yard has been searched. You can follow the people from Su Mansion and look elsewhere."

As soon as he finished speaking, several palace servants and royal guards immediately searched everywhere.

Su Hou had a look on his face and looked at the old lady reproachfully.

It's just a jade bracelet, but it actually caused a joke in the search family, and even made the King of Jin look at it, searching it here and there, how can the Suhou Mansion lose its face!

Su Hou's face turned red and white, and when he was about to speak, King Jin blocked him back.

“Something has been lost in the Su Mansion, so it’s time for me to do something. Don’t worry, everyone, the female family’s rear house will be visited by the servants, so the rules will not be broken.”

 After saying that, the King of Jin took some time to grab a handful of pine nuts on the table and peeled them carefully.

Su Leyun saw that she was not paying attention, so he took the opportunity to sneak behind the screen, called Cui Liu, and whispered a few words. When he saw Cui Liu leaving the yard, he returned to his seat.

As soon as she sat down, she saw Jin Dynasty waving to her, motioning for her to come over.

Su Leyun frowned and walked to King Jin reluctantly.

 “I don’t know what your Highness’s orders are.”

Prince Jin just looked at her and smiled without saying a word. He didn't speak slowly until he saw someone who was about to explode.

 “Hand out.”

Su Leyun was puzzled, but he did as he was told, with his fair palms facing up and his long fingers.

The King of Jin put all the peeled pine nuts in Su Leyun's hand.

“I heard from Su Ye that you like to eat this.”

The gentle fingertips touched the palm of his hand, and a red cloud rose on Su Leyun's face. He stopped his hand, then thanked him.

 “Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward.”

The King of Jin raised his eyebrows. She wanted to have a relationship with him, but he refused to let her do so.

　　"That day you asked me for a jade pendant, but you are not so generous. Go back and sit down, eat and wait."

Su Leyun breathed in his chest, turned back to Sun Jiarou, and closed his eyes slightly.

It's over, now even the water in the moat can't clean the relationship between her and King Jin.

With just a cup of tea, the waiter in blue held up a white jade bracelet and handed it to King Jin.

“Your Majesty, do you think this is what you are looking for?”

The King of Jin sneered: "You stupid thing, why don't you present it to the old lady?"

The chamberlain obeyed the order and handed the jade bracelet to the old lady. The old lady finally had a smile on her face. She took the jade bracelet and asked Aunt Zhao to put it on her, then stood up and thanked her.

“Thank you, Your Majesty, this is exactly the one I lost.”

The King of Jin nodded, called the servant to him again, and asked in a cold voice: "Where did you find it? Can you catch the thief?"

 The chamberlain hesitated and lowered his head lower and lower.

 “What? Are you mute?”

The King of Jin asked with a cold eyebrow, playing with the tea cup on the table in his hand, as if he could see flowers from it.

The chamberlain said cautiously: "It's hard for this servant to reply. Let's let the steward of the Su Mansion do the talking."

The old lady was stunned, and her heart that had just been relieved rose up in her throat again. The servant could not explain clearly, firstly to save face for the Marquis Mansion, and secondly to avoid disbelief from others.

 In other words, it’s a family scandal! ?

 King Jin waved his hand to signal the servant to go down, and his cold and slightly oppressive eyes fell on the butler.

The housekeeper stepped forward and said hesitantly: "This bracelet, this bracelet was found under the eldest lady's pillow."

 “What! You’re talking nonsense!”

Su Wan'er stood up, forced herself to be calm, and looked at the old lady as if seeking shelter.

 The old lady was still in shock and had not come back to her senses.
