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

Chapter 31 Facial cream is poisonous

When Aunt Liu was in the palace in her early years, Su Waner's thoughts were not only 80%, but also 50% or 60%.

The eldest lady in the Hou family, who is known as the most gentle, does not seem to be as gentle as she said.

  It would be better to say that he is quite scheming.

"Madam has already mentioned to me before that there are tutors on both sides, and Miss Dowan'er won't bother anyone."

Aunt Liu’s prim face had no expression, and her eyes were like ancient wells, as if she could see through a person easily.

Su Waner calmly avoided Aunt Liu's gaze and twisted the handkerchief in her hand, "Thank you, Aunt Liu."

 “Mom, what’s the matter with you coming?”

Su Leyun had already seen several maids following Sun Jiarou holding things in their hands, and Su Wan'er's eyes would fall on them from time to time, revealing some greed.

Although he didn't see what was under the red cloth, Su Leyun knew in his heart that those were the dowry when his mother got married.

The Sun family only has one daughter, Sun Jiarou, and all the good things are included in the dowry for Sun Jiarou to bring to the Su family. Most of the Su family's current magnificence comes from Sun Jiarou's dowry.

In her previous life, Sun Jiarou also sent these things, but at that time she only had her own grievances in her heart and did not care about them at all. In the end, she took advantage of Su Wan'er and the daughter born from another wife.

Sun Jiarou patted Su Leyun's hand and said softly: "It's just some jewelry. Your daughter should always dress up beautifully when going out."

“Mom, the jewelry in my daughter’s room is enough.”

Su Leyun felt warm in her heart. In her next life, she would no longer dwell in self-pity and miss out on the care and love from her mother and brother.

“Where are those enough?” Sun Jiarou motioned to the maid, “Send the things to the lady’s warehouse.”

"yes."

The maids followed Granny Zhang and walked to the small warehouse of Chao Hua Xiaozhu.

After delivering the things, Sun Jiarou did not leave in a hurry, "Aunt Liu, I really want to trouble you today."

"You're welcome, Madam." Aunt Liu said, with a smile on her face, "Miss Yun'er is very talented, and I don't find it troublesome to teach her."

After Aunt Liu came out of the palace, she would often teach some young ladies from aristocratic families some etiquette. She was notoriously strict in the aristocratic family. Now hearing her words, Sun Jiarou became anxious: "Aunt Liu, if Yun'er learned anything wrong, Wherever you go, you can teach me, but you don’t have to..."

"Mom, after all, sister Yun'er has just come back from Jingzhou, so it is naturally difficult for her to learn etiquette well in one day. My daughter has been to the Plum Blossom Banquet, and Princess Anle is not very interested in etiquette. I think Aunt Liu also knows that as long as my sister learns a rough lesson, she will definitely be able to learn etiquette tomorrow. I can handle it.”

Su Waner interrupted Sun Jiarou's words, seemingly helping Su Leyun find a reason, but in fact she was belittling her without any trace.

 It’s nothing more than talking about the so-called talent and intelligence, which is just a euphemism for Madam Liu’s sake.

Sun Jiarou seemed to think that what Su Waner said made sense, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Aunt Liu say: "Miss Waner is joking, even Princess Anle's etiquette was taught by the old slave. I dare not say that I can teach everyone, but I definitely can't. I would mess around just to catch up on such a day."

Unexpectedly, Aunt Liu would refute her. Su Waner's face paled slightly, "Aunt Liu, that's not what I meant... I said the wrong thing and made you misunderstand. Wan'er apologizes to you."

 Apologizing to a nanny in front of the servants was something Su Waner had never experienced before.

 She stirred her handkerchief and bowed weakly.

But she felt that the eyes of the people around her were all on her, with a little contempt. She hated Su Leyun even more in her heart. If she hadn't come back, how could she be so cautious and be looked down upon by others.

In his previous life, Su Leyun had seen Su Wan'er's pitiful appearance many times. Now that he saw it again, he could only sigh in his heart. She was also stupid in her previous life, and she would believe Su Wan'er's false appearance.

 “Miss Wan’er has lost her old age.”

Aunt Liu replied calmly.

“Miss Yun’er, a quarter of an hour has passed, let’s continue.”

"good."

Su Leyun and Aunt Liu ignored Su Wan'er. Sun Jiarou glanced at Su Wan'er with a bit of suspicion in her eyes, but soon her eyes were attracted to Su Leyun.

 It turned out that Aunt Liu did not say nice things on purpose to appease her.

Sun Jiarou looked at Su Leyun's movements with some tears in the corners of her eyes. If she had discovered earlier, her Yun'er would have been so outstanding if she had been raised in the Hou Mansion.

Su Wan'er took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, but found that her hands were shaking a little. She said softly: "Mom, I almost forgot. Grandma asked me to go there, so I'll leave first."

 After saying that, she turned around and left without waiting for Sun Jiarou to respond.

 Some of them have no regard for etiquette at all.

Su Leyun withdrew his gaze and listened intently to Aunt Liu's teachings.

 At night, after washing up, Cuiliu took some facial cream to apply on Su Leyun's face.

Smelling the smell of face cream, Su Leyun's eyes flashed slightly and he put the cream on the table, "Lian Xin, take a look and smell it."

“Miss, is there any problem?”

Cuiliu was puzzled, and saw Lian Xin stepping forward. As soon as she took a whiff, her expression changed.

Lian Xin dug out a piece with a silver spoon and placed it on the candle. After a while, a pungent green smoke came out.

 “This…” Cuiliu looked at it in surprise.

 “Miss, this cream is poisonous.”

Su Leyun was not surprised at all, "Is this cream newly obtained?"

Cuiliu immediately knelt down and said, "To tell you what to say to the lady, this is the new one my lady sent me today. The previous one was just used up, so I took it."

Lian Xin also knelt down and said, "Miss, this matter has something to do with Cuiliu..."

"I know it's not you." Su Leyun's eyes fell on the bronze mirror. In the mirror, the girl's face changed from the rustic look when she first came back, becoming fairer and more refined. "Get up, there are some things you still need to do."

Her eyes gradually turned cold...

Before the spring banquet in her previous life, she also put on facial cream. She didn't want to wake up the next day with her face covered in rashes, but she had to go to the spring banquet. She could only put on a veil, but "accidentally" in front of all the noble ladies. The veil fell off, and a face covered in rashes was exposed.

 She was laughed at by everyone, but it was Su Waner who pretended to be a good sister and "rescued" her.

The doctor meant that she ate something bad and was allergic to it and got a rash. But later, Lian Xin discovered the problem and someone poisoned her facial cream.

 She did not doubt Su Waner, but after learning about Lian Xin's medical treatment, she became suspicious of Lian Xin.

Su Leyun suppressed the hatred and self-blame in his eyes and said, "Lian Xin, go check and see if anything else has been poisoned."

"yes."

 Lian Xin responded and hurriedly left the room.

Su Leyun had an idea while fiddling with the facial cream in his hand.
