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

Chapter 20 Except for me

The patriarch stroked his beard gently, his face tensed, his fingertips rubbed his sleeves, he pondered for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

“Old sister-in-law, Wan’er is not of Su family’s blood after all.”

After saying that, the patriarch turned to look at Su Changqing: "Changqing, this is your family matter after all, please say something."

Su Changqing glanced at Su Waner, who was standing stiffly behind the old lady. He had raised someone else's daughter for more than ten years. He was not without resentment in his heart.

 “Changqing’s qualifications are still relatively low, and it all depends on the clan leader’s decision.”

After he finished speaking, the old lady looked at him with a raised eyebrow. Su Waner's eyes were red, and she lowered her eyes and looked at the tips of her shoes. Her knuckles that were holding the handkerchief were faintly white.

Sun Jiarou held Su Leyun in her arms and looked at Su Changqing with a vague sense of strangeness in her eyes.

Although she didn't like Su Wan'er, she never wanted to remove her from the family tree.

 It is too cruel for the master to act like this.

Su Leyun sneered in his heart. If Su Wan'er hadn't won the favor of King Yu in her previous life, she might not have been able to keep her place in the family tree.

 In the final analysis, he felt sorry for his beloved daughter, who was ranked second after them.

 In the previous life, Su Hou brought the outer room into the house, and a son and a daughter were also included in the family tree.

She was trapped in the Li family, watching helplessly as the son of a foreign wife usurped her brother's position, and the daughter of a foreign wife was so rich that she took up all the remaining dowry of Sun Jiarou...

 Ai Ai's suppressed cry interrupted Su Leyun's thoughts.

Su Waner covered her face with a handkerchief and bit her lower lip. Her pretty face lost all color and was on the verge of collapse.

The old lady lowered her face, took Su Wan'er's hand, and pulled her in front of her. She pointed at Su Changqing with trembling fingers, decisively.

“If you can’t tolerate Wan’er, then remove my name altogether!”

 After saying that, the old lady stroked her heart and started to cough and wheeze.

Su Changqing was stunned, and quickly apologized. He supported the old lady and helped her back.

“Mom, she is not a member of the Su family after all.”

“So what if it’s not the case! Wan’er has been with me since she was a child. If you don’t feel sorry for her, I feel sorry for her!”

The old lady pressed her cane to the ground and scolded her son sternly.

Su Changqing did not dare to speak. The patriarch paused, stroking his beard and shaking his head.

 “That’s all, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

The patriarch cupped his hands, made a face, and was supported by the servant, and walked out of the courtyard gate without looking back.

Su Changqing chased after him and saw the clan leader getting on the carriage, the horse's hooves clattering, disappearing in the corner of the street.

He stood on the spot and stamped his feet, looked at the plaque of Su Mansion, turned his feet a few times, covered his head and walked towards another street.

　　It is inevitable that the old lady will scold you when you go back, so it is better to go to the gentle countryside and take a dip.

 The boy came into the main hall to reply.

 “The master went to apologize to the clan leader and will not come back for dinner in the morning.”

Hearing this, the old lady's face became darker, she pulled Su Waner and left with her sleeves rolled up.

Only three people, Sun Jiarou, mother and daughter, were left in the same place.

Sun Jiarou sighed helplessly. She thought that the whole family would be able to have a peaceful meal together when they got together, but now it was good, and they parted on bad terms again.

"Yun'er, you're tired. Go back and rest."

Sun Jiarou looked at the light blue in Su Leyun's eyes with distress, full of guilt.

“Mother, today is the day when my daughter enters the family tree. How about you and your brother accompany me to celebrate?”

Su Leyun didn't want Sun Jiarou's good mood to be affected by irrelevant people, so he came to have fun in front of her.

Sun Jiarou smiled fondly and told the girl to go down and prepare.

The family had stored a lot of delicious food just to entertain the elders of the clan. Unexpectedly, there was a big fuss and everyone left.

Just in time, the three of them had a good meal and had some intimate conversations.

On the mahogany Eight Immortals table, seabass from the south and fresh shrimps from the north were gradually placed. The hot aroma made people scream.

Sun Jiarou was the first to pick up a chopstick of green vegetables, and then motioned to her children to eat quickly.

 “Don’t stick to the rules in front of your mother, eat more.”

In a short time, Su Leyun's bowl was filled with various dishes brought by her mother and brother. Looking at the rice dumpling-like food, she waved her hands repeatedly to indicate that she could not eat so much.

"Yun'er is too thin. Mom must keep you plump and plump before the spring banquet."

Sun Jiarou looked at her daughter with a smile, and Grandma Zhang came over to reply.

“Madam, Aunt Liu gave us the right words and said that she will be able to come home to teach our young lady in two days.”

Su Ye put down his chopsticks: "Aunt Liu?"

Su Leyun knew in her heart that she was the nanny hired by her mother to educate her. Aunt Liu was born in the palace. In her early years, she specialized in training princesses and concubines in etiquette.

 In her previous life, in order for her to gain a foothold in the Li family, her mother asked Aunt Liu to teach her the etiquette and rules of housekeeping.

It's a pity that she listened to Chun Xing's instigation and thought that her mother and aunt were deliberately making things difficult because they looked down on her background. She only studied for half a month before she lost her popularity.

Aunt Liu treated her sincerely because of her mother's affection, and taught her well in just half a month. It was a pity that she did not support her and could not continue to study with her aunt.

Sun Jiarou held Su Leyun's hand and spoke earnestly.

"Yun'er, Aunt Liu is quite strict, but she doesn't feel comfortable as an adult, and she doesn't feel comfortable as an adult. Mother hopes that you can learn from her."

Su Leyun smiled softly and leaned on Sun Jiarou's shoulder, as expected.

Sun Jiarou stroked the top of her hair and talked about the Spring Banquet.

“Half a month later, we will go to the palace with your father for the spring banquet. This is the first time you will appear in front of nobles as the legitimate daughter of the Su family. You must leave a good impression on them.”

Su Leyun responded one by one, and Su Ye stood by, looking at the Qi Ji in Sun Jiarou's eyes, and frowning secretly.

 What exactly did King Jin mean to his sister? He had to ask her clearly when they met again.

The three of them were chatting and laughing. It was noon before the dishes were finished.

Sun Jiarou summoned the girls and asked them to deliver the new dishes made by the cook to the old lady's yard. The old lady had lunch at noon, and they were just in time to deliver them.

The delicacies of mountains and seas were placed on the nanmu table like flowing water. The old lady had a sullen face and raised her hand to let the girls go down.

With tears in her eyes, Su Waner stood up to serve the old lady.

The old lady looked at Su Waner with pity, pulled her to sit next to her, filled a bowl of soup with her own hands and handed it to her to comfort her.

"Wan'er, no matter how difficult it is, your grandmother will support you. Don't take it personally or hurt your body."

Su Wan'er held her handkerchief to wipe her tears, choked with sobs and couldn't speak. It took a long while before she trembled and said something.

“Grandma, let me go. Wan’er will only cause you trouble if she continues to stay in this house.”

As soon as the words fell, the old lady couldn't hold herself any longer, and her eyes became red.

“Good boy, where are you going? Are you not with grandma anymore?”

“Since there is no place for me in the genealogy, Wan’er will return to the Li family.”

 After saying that, Su Waner burst into tears. She never imagined that the person who had called her father for more than ten years would easily agree to take her out of the family tree...

“Silly boy, you don’t know how much suffering you will suffer when you go to that remote and remote area of ​​the Li family.”

 The old lady held Su Waner in her arms and held the back of her hand to persuade her.

“As long as grandma is here, you will have your place in the Su family, and I will not let anyone wrong you.”
