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

Chapter 32 Plum Blossom Banquet

Together with the newly opened facial cream, there were ten poisoned things, all of which were used to nourish the skin.

Su Leyun glanced across the table, with a smile on his lips.

  It’s quite a generous move.

“Miss, these things are filled with the same poison as facial cream.”

Lian Xin’s face was grave. She didn’t expect that after Chun Xing’s incident, there would be someone with evil intentions in Chaohua Xiaozhu!

If the lady hadn’t smelled something wrong with the cream, she would have been in trouble tomorrow if it was applied to her face!

 Thinking about it, Lian Xin felt a little curious.

 How did Miss Yun'er smell the weirdness in it?

“Lian Xin, I once heard in Jingzhou that there is a kind of powder that emits fluorescence under the moonlight. Do you know about it?”

Lian Xin thought for a moment and said, "Miss, are you talking about luminous powder?"

 There is a kind of flying insect that can emit light at night, so it is named noctilucent.

 Glow-in-the-dark powder can be produced by drying and crushing the noctiluca insects.

Su Leyun nodded, "Go find some luminous powder and apply it on the outside of the cream. If anyone touches it again, it must be the poisoner."

 “Yes, Miss.”

When Lian Xin heard this, she couldn't help but marvel at her young lady's clever mind.

 The next day, Su Leyun went to pay his respects to the old lady as usual.

When they arrived at the yard, Su Waner happened to come out of the house. When she saw Su Leyun, she unconsciously glanced at her face.

“Sister, is there something dirty on my face?”

Su Leyun pursed his lips and smiled. As the sunlight dispersed, his face became whiter and more pleasant.

Su Wan'er hid the jealousy in her eyes, narrowed her gaze, and said affectionately: "I think my sister looks good. I think it won't be long before she will be just like the women in the capital."

　　If Su Leyun had heard this in her previous life, she would have felt inferior. But now, after experiencing death, these external things would have no impact on her.

However, she still remembered that Su Wan'er didn't like her face, otherwise she wouldn't have poisoned her, and even ruined her appearance before killing her.

The thing that Su Waner dislikes is her own face, and she must make good use of it.

Su Leyun's bright smile made Su Wan'er's aloofness even more perfect.

“My mother also said that I am becoming more and more like her.”

Just one sentence made Su Waner's face pale.

In the past, she thought that she was not like Sun Jiarou because she had not yet grown up, but now it was revealed that she was not Sun Jiarou's child at all, so how could she look similar to Sun Jiarou.

Su Waner pursed her pale lips and said reluctantly: "Sister, please go in quickly. Grandma is still waiting for you."

　　After greeting the old lady and returning to the room, Su Leyun glanced at the facial cream on the table. There was no trace of it being touched.

　　After breakfast, Su Leyun changed into the clothes he would wear when entering the palace under the service of his maid.

 At the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, a carriage has already been prepared.

Sun Jiarou was sitting alone in the carriage at the front, while Su Leyun and Su Waner were riding in the same carriage.

Perhaps it was something that happened before. It was rare that Su Waner didn't pretend to be concerned and enthusiastic like last time.

Su Leyun was also happy to be quiet, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

 Soon, the carriage arrived at the palace gate.

 The carriage could not enter the palace, so it was necessary to get down and change into a sedan chair.

 Walking through a very long palace road, we arrived at the location of the Plum Blossom Banquet, the Imperial Garden.

“Yun’er, please stay with mother for a while and don’t wander around.”

Sun Jiarou mentioned that this was Su Leyun's first time entering the palace, and she could not take it lightly.

Su Waner seemed to have adjusted her mood and said, "Sister Yun'er, don't be nervous. The plum blossom banquet is full of ladies from aristocratic families who are about the same age as us. We all get along well with each other."

Hearing Su Wan'er's familiar tone, Su Leyun pursed her lips and smiled implicitly, "Mom, sister, I know."

 The three of them walked towards the imperial garden. After turning a corner, the scene in front of them suddenly became clear.

 The tables and chairs for the banquet were placed among the plum blossoms, and young ladies in twos and threes held hands and strolled among them.

A sharp-eyed person saw Su Leyun and others and tugged on the sleeves of his companions.

 For a while, the atmosphere became a little quiet.

 “Wan’er, you’re here!”

Li Mengyao stepped forward and took Su Waner's arm, but her eyes fell on Su Leyun and Sun Jiarou.

Perplexity flashed through her mind. Didn't everyone say that Su Leyun was the daughter who was brought back from outside, but was actually the daughter of a foreigner?

 Why is Mrs. Sun so close to her?
