The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 51 Who is the candidate?

　　It was getting dark and the main hall was extremely lively.

“Grandma, Xueying misses you so much!”

Lu Xueying came close to the old lady. She was born like Su Changying, so she was the one who loved the old lady the most among the three children.

The old lady looked at Lu Xueying dotingly and joked: "She is actually fatter than the year before."

 “Grandma!”

Lu Xueying will be fourteen after the Chinese New Year. She is also at the age where she loves beauty. Of course she doesn’t want to hear the word fat.

“Okay, okay, grandma was wrong. Girl Xueying is even more beautiful.”

“Mom, don’t spoil this child.”

Su Changying said this, but the eyes that fell on Lu Xueying were full of love.

The old lady pulled Lu Xueying to sit next to her, looked at Lu Huaiyuan sitting on one side and asked: "This time when I go to Beijing, Huaiyuan will also take the imperial examination, right?"

Lu Huaiyuan was dressed in white and had a good face. He inherited his father's appearance and was rather bookish.

He cupped his hands and said, "To my grandmother, that's right."

The old lady nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Lu Xueya, who was sitting next to her. After looking at her carefully, she said calmly: "Xueya is celebrating the New Year and it's time to get married. Do you have any candidates, Changying?"

Su Changying shook her head, "Mom, I showed Xue Ya a few in Suzhou before, but none of them caught my eye. My daughter thought it would be better to show Xue Ya in the capital. Can you make arrangements?"

"It's not impossible. When Lu Hong returns to Beijing to report on his work this time, he will probably be promoted to a higher position. Then I will let people take a look and choose a few for Xue Ya."

"Then the relationship is good, Xue Ya's marriage will be a troublesome thing for my mother to worry about."

Su Changying returned with a smile.

Lu Xueya was sitting on the mahogany chair, her expression unchanged, as if the matter she was talking about had nothing to do with her.

 “Old madam, the Marquis is back.”

Su Changqing entered the main hall in a dusty state. When he saw his sister, his original unkind expression suddenly changed.

 “Little sister.”

"Brother," Su Changying exchanged greetings with Su Changqing, then suddenly looked around, "Why isn't sister-in-law here yet?"

Su Changqing's face darkened and she said sternly: "Steward Liu, go and call Madam here. It's a family dinner tonight, but she still has us waiting for her?"

Butler Liu had a puzzled look on his face: "Master Marquis, my wife said she is not feeling well, so the eldest young master and the second young lady also stayed with my wife."

 “Not feeling well? I think she is…”

"Okay, since she's not feeling well, let her rest." The old lady interrupted Su Changqing, "After dinner later, Mr. Marquis went to see if she is your daughter-in-law. As a husband, you have to bear some responsibility. .”

Facing the old lady's warning gaze, Su Changqing responded in a low voice: "Yes, mother."

 The family banquet begins.

“Grandma, Xueying wants to sit next to you.”

Lu Xueying said and sat down next to the old lady without even looking at Su Waner who was standing on the side looking embarrassed.

 In the past, the position beside the old lady was reserved for Su Waner.

After sitting firmly, Lu Xueying seemed to have noticed Su Wan'er and looked at her: "Sister Wan'er, you don't mind, do you?"

Facing Lu Xueying's somewhat provocative gaze, Su Wan'er's expression did not change. She only tightened her hands hidden in her sleeves and pursed her lips with a smile: "Cousin Xueying is joking, why would I mind. I just have to work hard for cousin Xueying to serve my grandmother. .”

“Grandma, don’t worry, Xueying will take good care of you.”

Lu Xueying ignored Su Waner and went straight to the old lady to act coquettishly.

Of course the old lady would not refuse and ordered: "Bring the chair, Wan'er, sit next to Xueying."

 “Yes, grandma.”

Su Waner couldn't help but feel a little happy when she met the old lady's loving eyes. It seemed that her grandmother still loved her!

 Lu Xueying was pampered and pampered at home since she was a child. In addition, the Lu family did not have any elders who needed to be taken care of, so she had never taken care of anyone.

Although I would come to the capital to visit the old lady for a few years, I only stayed there for a short time and I didn’t quite understand some of the rules.

When the fragrant soup for washing hands was served, Lu Xueying hesitated for a while.

“Cousin Xueying, that’s for cleaning hands.”

 Beside her, Su Waner reminded softly.

Lu Xueying’s face tightened and she glared at Su Waner, “I know, there’s no need for you to remind me!”

The old lady's expression changed slightly, and before she could speak, Su Changying said first: "Xueying, apologize to your cousin."

 “She is not my cousin!”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the table immediately turned cold.

Su Wan'er sat in her seat and felt that her body was pierced by everyone's gaze.

 She forced a smile, but her eyes gradually turned red.

The old lady frowned and said in a deep voice: "Wan'er is the **** the genealogy of our Su family. Naturally, she is a child of our Su family. Xueying, don't say such things again."

"Grandma..." Lu Xueying pursed her lips, feeling aggrieved, "Xueying knows."

　　Everyone had different expressions and thoughts after dinner.

 At Huairou Pavilion, the atmosphere is warm.

Su Leyun and Su Ye had eaten with Sun Jiarou. The maids were clearing the table when they heard footsteps coming from outside the house.

 “Greetings to the Marquis.”

When the maids saw the person coming, they all stopped what they were doing.

Su Changqing walked into the house with a gloomy face, and immediately saw the mother and son talking happily.

"You three are enjoying yourself in the house."

 “What does Mr. Hou mean by this?”

Sun Jiarou looked at her husband, but she felt more and more unfamiliar.

Having been married for twenty years, she occasionally felt this way, but since her biological daughter returned to the house, this feeling has become clearer.

“When my little sister comes back, as a sister-in-law, you don’t show her any kindness in front of the servants, and you don’t even go to the family dinner. What do you mean?”

“Father, my mother looks bad because she is not feeling well. How come you tell me that my mother is deliberately looking down on my aunt?”

Su Leyun couldn't help but speak out, his tone was a bit cold.

Su Changqing glared at Su Leyun, "When I'm talking to your mother, there's no place for you to interrupt. You're so uneducated. If I had known better, I shouldn't have taken you back in the first place!"

"Su Changqing!" Sun Jiarou looked at Su Changqing almost in disbelief, "Yun'er is our daughter, how can you say such a thing?"

"How can she be the legitimate daughter of my Su family if she doesn't respect her elders?"

Su Changqing slammed the table.

 “Father, sister, she...”

Su Ye couldn't sit still, but Su Leyun held him back.

Su Leyun sneered and said: "If I am not worthy to be the legitimate daughter of the Hou Mansion, who does father think is worthy? Could it be that father already has a candidate in mind? Is it Su Waner? Or does father have a daughter outside the home?"

 “What do you mean?”

Su Changqing’s face changed drastically, and he looked at Su Leyun in panic.

Sun Jiarou and Su Ye looked at each other with surprise and suspicion in their eyes.

"My daughter just said it casually. My father was so panicked. Could it be that I was right?"
