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

Chapter 29 Sending the Invitation

 In the main hall of the Su Mansion, candlelight flickered and no sound was heard.

The old lady sat on the main seat, twirling the beads in her hand, took the hot tea from Su Changqing, pointed to the seat opposite, and asked him to sit down.

"What's wrong with you today? Are you taking it out on Yun girl when you're upset?"

Su Changqing lowered his eyebrows, half of his face was hidden in the candlelight, and his eyes were obscure.

“Mother, I don’t want them to live in shame again and again. Brother Zhong and Yuqing are hundreds of times better than these two in the family, but they can’t even be listed in the family tree! They don’t have any serious status!”

Su Changqing spoke angrily, and said slowly as if discussing: "Mother, I don't think it's better..."

"shut up!"

 The old lady put the tea cup on the table to stop his confused words.

"The Sun family is still in power now, and you promised the emperor that you would only have one person in your life, and you rashly brought him into the Su Mansion. Do you think that a disaster will come to the family?"

Su Changqing is raising a wife outside the house and has a son and a daughter.

The old lady only found out about this matter in the past two years, and she lost her temper because of it. She was worried for a long time, fearing that the matter would be exposed.

 Fortunately, Sun Jiarou is a calm person and has never doubted anything.

"Mother!"

Su Changqing looked annoyed and leaned back in his chair dejectedly. Brother Zhong was already eighteen years old. He had already entered the clan school, but now he could only hang out in a private school.

Yueniang even cried with him at noon, saying that she was afraid of delaying Brother Zhong's future.

Su Changqing felt uncomfortable, so she vented her anger just now.

“Their mother-in-law’s affairs should be settled for now. The Sun family must be able to live well.”

The old lady was twisting her prayer beads with a calm expression on her face. She said she would be blessed to have more children. The children of her Su family could not be left outside.

“The Sun family, ever since I married his daughter, I have looked at their faces everywhere. One day I will trample them all under my feet!”

Su Changqing slapped the armrest of the chair hard, his eyebrows full of intrigue and calculation.

 The night is deep, the moon's shadow hangs high in the sky, and the dead leaves are swirling and falling.

The lights in Chaohua Xiaozhu are brightly lit. Su Leyun is sitting behind the desk, writing the rules of etiquette carefully with a pen in his hand, accompanied by lotus hearts and green willows.

 “Miss, please take a break before writing.”

 “It’s late at night, you can write again tomorrow.”

Su Leyun raised his head and looked out the slightly white window, stretched his muscles, turned his wrist and said, "I'm just a little short of finishing."

 She felt relieved after writing it, saving her good father from having to use the topic again.

"You guys go down and have a rest first."

Su Leyun picked up the pen and continued writing on the paper, with a faint cyan color in his eyes and a slightly tired look.

"The master has not rested, how can the slaves rest?"

With a smile, Lian Xin cut the wick of the candle to make it brighter. Cui Liu spread new rice paper on the table and brought hot tea over.

 There was more noise, a few roosters crowed, and the sky was bright.

Su Leyun stroked his sore neck, put down his pen, gathered the copied etiquette together, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master has finished writing. Go and lie down on the bed for a while. I will send this to the Marquis."

Lian Xin took the arranged transcripts and put them on the tray, holding them carefully.

 “That’s all, I’ll send it myself.”

Su Leyun held a thick pile of transcripts, straightened his somewhat disheveled hair, and walked out slowly.

“Let’s go, I’m afraid my father will go to court later.”

When he walked to the main hall, Su Changqing was changing into court clothes. Although Sun Jiarou was angry with him, she still stayed with him and took the accessories from the slave's hand and put them on for him.

"Father."

Su Leyun walked in slowly, saluted, and gave Sun Jiarou a distressed look.

Su Changqing has been an official in the court for twenty years, and Sun Jiarou has been waiting for him in court for twenty years. He can't even sleep at all in the morning.

It’s a pity that he is so cruel and careless that he doesn’t care about the support of his father-in-law’s family. He only cares about his concubine. He even spoils his concubine and kills his wife. He takes the title of his legitimate son and gives it to his concubine...

"Yun'er, it's cold outside and it's still early. Why are you here?"

Sun Jiarou handed the hand stove to her, feeling heartbroken when she saw the green eyes in her daughter's eyes.

Su Leyun did not take over the stove. He shook his head to indicate that he was fine. He walked to Su Changqing and handed over the copied etiquette. He said respectfully: "Father, this is the etiquette copied by my daughter."

Su Changqing lowered his eyes and looked at Juan Xiu's handwriting on the paper, his face softened slightly: "You copied it all night?"

 “Yes, my daughter realizes her mistake.”

Su Leyun held up the copy with both hands, his watery eyes filled with red bloodshot eyes, full of exhaustion.

Su Changqing felt a little soft when she looked at the eyes that were the same as Sun Jiarou's and the face that resembled her own.

 “Get up, forget about yesterday’s matters, and just learn the rules from now on.”

Su Changqing asked the boy to collect the transcripts and strode out.

This daughter has the favor of King Jin and is of use.

 “Have breakfast with your mother later and then go back and rest.”

Su Changqing stopped at the door, his usually cold voice a little softer.

After hearing this, Sun Jiarou's tense face relaxed. She held Su Leyun's hand and said, "Your father still loves you."

After saying that, Sun Jiarou said to Aunt Zhang: "Go and reply to the old lady. Just tell her that the Marquis has asked the young lady to go back and have a rest. I won't go to say hello today."

Mammy Zhang left in response, and then turned back when she went out, and the boy at the door came in in a panic.

 “Madam, someone is coming from the palace!”

 “Why are you panicking? Just invite the good people in.”

As soon as he finished speaking, an **** wearing palace clothes entered the door.

 “The old slave pays his respects to Madam Hou.”

“Eunuch Chen, please get up quickly.”

Sun Jiarou asked the little girl to help him up, and said slowly: "I wonder what your father-in-law wants to do here?"

The old lady heard the news in the back house and rushed over, followed by Su Waner.

“Eunuch Chen, I haven’t seen you in a while.”

Eunuch Chen laughed along with her: "Isn't that right? Since the queen went away, my servant has been serving Princess Anle. I haven't been waiting at the front for a while."

 Suddenly hearing the name Princess Anle again, the old lady glanced at Su Leyun with an unkind expression.

I thought there was a decree coming from the palace, but I never thought that Princess Anle came to investigate!

"Yesterday, my worthless granddaughter offended Her Royal Highness the Princess. I have already punished her by copying the etiquette a hundred times. If the Princess is still unhappy, I will take this rebellious girl to the palace and teach her a lesson."

 The old lady spoke respectfully and had no intention of protecting Su Leyun.

Su Leyun was not surprised at all when she heard these remarks. In her previous life, her grandmother was like this. She would push herself out to block the gun if she made any mistakes.

Sun Jiarou frowned and was about to explain to her daughter when she heard Eunuch Chen say with a puzzled look on his face: "What are you talking about, the old lady? Our princess has the most docile temperament, so there is no way she would care about Miss Su Er."

As he spoke, he took out a letter printed with gold-plated plum blossoms from his arms and handed it to Sun Jiarou.

"The princess will hold a plum blossom banquet in the palace tomorrow. She specially asked her servants to send invitations to invite the ladies and ladies to come and enjoy the flowers and have wine."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked. The old lady couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

This Princess Anle is really skillful. Su Leyun just offended her yesterday, but today she sent an invitation.
