My uncle, he has all the power in the world

Chapter 35 Something happened at the banquet
  Everyone was fascinated when they heard Ning Keyao say: "Everyone, please sit down. There is a lantern riddle in the paper lanterns in front of your desks. If anyone can guess it, you can tell it loudly, and I, the princess, will be rewarded!"

After hearing this, everyone took out the note inside, opened it, and began to speculate.

Lu Fu, the youngest daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, was the first to stand up and said: "The length of the character You means enough, and being measured and measured is etiquette."

Su Qingmo coughed slightly after hearing this and almost didn't laugh out loud.

She whispered to Ning Keyao: "Yaoer, what kind of lantern riddle are you talking about?"

But Lu Fu continued to say: "This word is respectful! I wish the fourth princess and Miss Su a happy birthday and everything goes well."

"Miss Lu is very smart, and this mystery is the word "Zun"!" Ning Keyao said with a smile: "This princess remembers that Miss Lu likes all kinds of spices very much?"

Lu Fu said embarrassedly: "The fourth princess is laughing at me. My daughter has been enjoying her life since she was a child, but she is really wasting her time."

"So what!" Ning Keyao said loudly: "Who said that women have to practice hard at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? My princess just got some spices recently, and she will be sent to the Lu Mansion soon."

The spices in the palace are naturally rare! Lu Fu said happily: "Thank you so much, Fourth Princess!"

After everyone heard this, they secretly thought that the fourth princess would be rewarded heavily, but...
  They looked at the word puzzles in their hands, all hesitant.

These word puzzles seem to be
  At this time, the next woman in white clothes was just about to stand up when she was pulled down by the person next to her. The woman in white clothes almost fell down. After seeing the arrogant and contemptuous look of the person next to her, she bit her lip. Didn't dare to say anything.

Su Qingmo stood up and took a clear look, mainly because among this group of warblers, this woman dressed in white was really special.

The fourth princess wears plain clothes on her birthday...

But it’s so disrespectful!

And Su Qingmo recognized this person at a glance. It was Sun Yu who came to care about her on the day of the palace banquet.

It's just that today's Sun Yu doesn't have the frankness and impudence in his expression at that time.

And the man who dragged Sun Yu just now...

Su Qingmo raised her lips and smiled, looking at the woman, pretending not to know: "Whose girl is this? The peach pink dress is very beautiful. Do you want to guess this lantern riddle?"

When everyone looked around, their eyes fell on Sun Zhen!

The second young lady of Sun Mansion!

After hearing this, Sun Zhen was overjoyed, stood up confidently, picked up the lantern riddle and read: "There is a distinction between superiority and inferiority, the order of elders and younger ones, the right branches of the family are connected by the same bloodline."

But the more he read it, the quieter his voice became. Apparently he didn't know the answer to the riddle.

"This is...is..." Sun Zhen stood for a long time without saying the answer. The confidence on her face had long since disappeared, replaced by panic and embarrassment.

Seeing that many people were already laughing at her in low voices, Sun Zhen looked at Sun Yu fiercely and whispered angrily: "What is it? Tell me quickly!"

Sun Yu bit his lip and replied in a low voice: "嫡, is the word "嫡"!"

"What?" Sun Zhen didn't hear clearly and scolded Sun Yu in her heart.

"My dear! My dear!" Sun Yu reminded him again, but he did not dare to speak too loudly.

"Chess?" Sun Zhen still didn't hear clearly, and was about to ask again...

"It's the word "Due"!" Meng Qin on the side sneered: "There is a distinction between seniority and inferiority, the order of seniority and the younger, the main branches of the family are connected by the same blood! It's the word "Due"!"

Everyone laughed sweetly after hearing this, but they didn't know whether they were laughing at Sun Zhen for not being able to answer the riddle, or at her hearing.

And everyone also understood that the word puzzle of the four princesses was all based on the superiority of elders and juniors, and the distinction between concubines and concubines!

Thinking of Aunt Du and Su Xinsheng.
  The Fourth Princess is clearly here to establish her authority for Miss Su!

At this time, Sun Zhen's face was red, she could neither sit nor stand, she was very embarrassed.

"I don't blame you," Su Qingmo said with a smile, "There may be something wrong with this puzzle, but I don't know, which family are you from?"

Su Qingmo came to her rescue, and Sun Zhen said happily: "My little girl Sun Zhen is the granddaughter of Grand Tutor Sun."

"Oh?" Su Qingmo asked doubtfully, "Isn't the eldest lady of Sun Mansion called Sun Yu? But you?"

Sun Zhen's face froze, but at this moment, Meng Qin stood up and said: "Miss Su, this is the daughter of the step-wife of the Sun family, Miss Sun II!"

Taifu Sun, Sun Yu’s grandfather, half a month ago...

Died suddenly!

This is also the reason why Sun Yu is dressed in white.

Sun Yu was raised by his grandfather since he was a child, and was protected by Taifu Sun. He lived a carefree life, but now Taifu Sun has passed away...

However, Sun Yu's father was still soft-spoken and obeyed the step-wife's words. Needless to say, Sun Yu was probably being rubbed into disgrace by the step-wife.

And Sun Zhen is the step-wife’s daughter!

When everyone saw this, they all felt contempt. Her grandfather passed away, but she was dressed like a peach blossom. Taifu Sun really raised this granddaughter in vain.

"Oh?" Su Qingmo narrowed her eyes and said coldly: "Is that her stepdaughter?"

She spoke every word, squinting her head, and her aura made everyone's hearts tremble!
  They all couldn't help but lower their heads and thought to themselves, is this really the same Miss Su from five years ago?

Sun Zhen's face turned pale and she was about to retort when she saw Su Qingmo looking at her coldly, with such a cold expression that she was so frightened that she softened and almost sat down.

Ning Keyao also said angrily: "How outrageous! I don't know when this princess invited her stepdaughter? Who brought her in?"

Sun Yu was shocked after hearing this!
  The fourth princess is celebrating her birthday today. She should have come by herself, but...

How can she take charge in this house now?
  In the past half month, even though she wore sackcloth and paid filial piety, shutting herself in her grandfather's room and crying all day long, Sun Zhen and Sun Zhao still bothered her relentlessly. Yesterday, everything in her room was moved out. Even the items her grandfather gave her were taken away.

And when she was crying and begging, struggling with the women in embarrassment, her father caught him, and he just scolded the woman a few words, but never mentioned returning those things to her!

She finally understood that no one in the entire Sun family, including her weak father, could stand on her side!

At this moment, a voice came.

"big sister!"

Everyone looked back and saw that it was Su Xinsheng walking into the garden.

"My little girl has met the fourth princess," Su Xinba said with a smile.

Ning Keyao's face darkened and she said angrily: "Is something wrong, Miss Su Er?"

After everyone heard this, they all covered their lips and chuckled when they thought of the word puzzle in front of them.

Sun Zhen's stepdaughter was almost kicked out, but Su Xinsheng, the concubine, had the nerve to come over.

Su Xinshen had no idea what was going on. When she heard Ning Keyao's words, she didn't know how to react.

She is holding a banquet in the Su Mansion. Is it possible that she has to receive a message before she can come? !
  Su Xinshan was so angry that she stood there and raised her eyebrows at Su Qingmo, signaling Su Qingmo to help her out. Su Qingmo looked at Su Xinshen with a half-smile, without any sign of caring about her.

Suddenly, Su Xinsheng was even more furious!

Su Qingmo, this bitch!
  She was trying to embarrass herself on purpose!

After a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Forgive me, Fourth Princess. My daughter is late because she was preparing for the birthdays of the Fourth Princess and my eldest sister..."

Everyone couldn't help but smile after hearing this. The fourth princess clearly meant that Su Xinsheng shouldn't come, but she just said it. The fourth princess was blaming her for being late. I find myself under my own steps.

As expected, Ning Keyao looked disdainful and said angrily: "The gift is still yours."

Before she finished speaking, she heard Su Qingmo say: "I don't know, where is the second sister's gift?"

Ning Keyao curled her lips and thought to herself, who cares about her gifts?

Su Xinyi said aggrievedly: "I really can't get the gifts I prepared for you. I wonder if the fourth princess and ladies and sisters would like to move to the Fengyuan."

If it were in the past, many people would naturally agree to please you, but now.
  His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not made any move yet. It is still unclear who the Crown Princess will end up with!
  Seeing that no one was saying anything, Su Xin's face turned red and she wanted to turn around and leave, but when she thought of...

She had no choice but to endure it secretly, thinking that when she married His Highness, she would make these people kneel down and beg her!

After a long while, Su Qingmo said with a smile: "In that case, let's go and have a look with my second sister!"

Seeing this, Ning Keyao raised her head and said, "Miss Su Er, lead the way!"

This sentence did not make Su Xinbu angry to death.

Ning Keyao.
  Is Ning Keyao treating her like a servant?
  The ferocity in her eyes flashed away, and Su Xinshen lowered her eyes to hide her anger and walked towards Shenfengyuan.

The group of people walked towards Maple Leaf Yard. Ning Keyao curled her lips and said, "Mo'er, why do you care about her? You, the second sister, don't have any good intentions!"

Su Qingmo smiled and said, "If you ignore her, how can you know what she is up to?"

Ning Keyao said: "She has a vicious mind and wants to harm you all day long. When she arrives at Maple Leaf Yard, please be careful."

"Okay", Su Qingmo was listening to Ning Keyao's nagging, but at this moment...

"Ouch!"

A maid bumped into her and spilled every drop of the tea she was holding on Su Qingmo's body.

"Miss, please forgive me, slave. I am in a hurry to go to the front hall to serve tea to the master and your highnesses. That's why I'm doing this"

She said in fear: "This slave deserves to die, please forgive me, Miss."

He looked panicked.

Ning Keyao looked at Su Qingmo's wet peacock dress and shouted, "Don't you have eyes? With so many people walking by you can't see them. My princess sees that it's useless to keep your eyes, so why don't you dig them out!" "

The maid's eyes suddenly widened and she said in fear: "Fourth Princess, please spare your life! I know I was wrong. I don't have eyes. I deserve to die. I beg Fourth Princess to spare my life!"

Then she knelt and crawled to Su Qingmo's feet: "Miss, I know I was wrong. Please help me to beg for mercy. I will repay you by doing everything I can!"

Su Qingmo looked at the tea stains on her body, lowered her eyes and said, "Go ahead, be careful in the future."

The maid was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, Miss, thank you Miss!"

Then Su Qingmo turned around and said, "Ladies and sisters, I'll go change my clothes first. I'll excuse you."

Ning Keyao whispered, "Mo'er, I'll go with you."

Su Qingmo didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. How did the two of them leave their birthday party?
  She chuckled and said, "Can I leave it in my own house? You go first and I'll change my clothes and come back."

Ning Keyao could only nod and continue walking forward.

Blue Sky Courtyard.

Jin Xia went out to do errands but before she came back, Zi Teng was cleaning the courtyard with her two wives. Su Qingmo changed out of her peacock dress and handed it directly to Zi Teng.

"Wash these clothes clean and be careful!" Su Qingmo explained.

This piece of clothing was a gift from the Duke's wife, so it is of great significance.

Ziteng took the dress and said, "Don't worry, young lady, I must be careful."

Su Qingmo nodded slightly and walked out, but she happened to see Jin Xia outside the Bi Kong Courtyard.

Seeing that Su Qingmo had changed her clothes, Jin Xia ran over and said in surprise: "Miss, are you okay?"

Su Qingmo smiled and said: "What can I do, but you, how are you?"

Jinxia spread her hands and raised her head and said: "I can't enter the imperial palace, but the Yanjing Pavilion is more than enough."

Su Qingmo nodded and said: "That's fine, come with me to Maple Leaf Yard."

Jinxia asked doubtfully: "Yufengyuan?"

Su Qingmo smiled and said, "Su Xinsheng has prepared a big gift for me!"

At this time, Su Mansion Guest House.

Su Xinyan was leading everyone towards the Fengfeng Courtyard, but unexpectedly, when passing by the guest house, she heard a faint sound coming from the yard.
  The sound of moaning!

Many ladies present didn't know what the sound was, and their faces suddenly turned red. Some of them even covered the girl's ears.

It's just that most of these ladies have already grown hair, so they can guess what the sound is.

Everyone stopped and looked at the guest house with confusion and shame, and then looked at Su Xinsheng.

Su Xinsheng had an angry look on her face and walked directly into the guest house. Seeing this, everyone followed her.

Sure enough, as they entered the courtyard, the sound became more obvious, coming from the room on the right.

Ning Keyao stood there with her eyes narrowed and her face darkened. No matter which song she was singing, how could she be happy when something so vile happened at her birthday party?

"Why don't you go and ask daddy to come over!" Su Xinsheng said angrily to Lan Tao.

She turned around and said sternly: "It must be some despicable maid who took advantage of the many things going on in the house today to do such a shameless thing. I will not tolerate it!"

As he spoke, he looked like he was in charge.

Also, Aunt Du has always taken care of the back house of the Su Mansion, but she and Su Xinsheng are in charge of it, almost less so.

After saying that, Su Xinsheng pushed open the door of the room.

When everyone looked inside, they saw a screen with a very eye-catching pattern of chirping birds, and behind the screen...

As soon as the figure flashed, someone jumped out of the window!

"Stop!" Su Xinsheng rushed over, but it was a step too late.

"He ran really fast!" she said angrily.

When everyone heard this, they also walked around the screen and walked into the room. Sure enough, they saw that the room was empty, but under the bed, a pair of men's shoes were very eye-catching. It was obvious that he ran away in a panic and didn't even have time to put on his shoes.

And on the ground...

There was also a long dress scattered about!
  The long dress is as green as a lake, and the pattern of peacock feathers on the hem is particularly bright.
  The one Su Qingmo was wearing just now!

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief, with shock in their eyes.
