The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 306 Cousins

 Perhaps seeing that Su Leyun didn't say anything else, the other ladies started whispering among themselves again.

These banquets, to put it bluntly, provide an occasion for these ladies who have nothing to do in the house all day long to talk.

Originally, Qiao Tingying specially invited Qin Xiu to come, also because she wanted to win over him.

 After all, Zhou Mingsheng is still young, and no one knows what opportunities there will be in the future. If he can get to know him earlier, he can have more friendships.

It’s just that she didn’t expect Qin Xiu to invite Su Leyun.

With Su Leyun beside Qin Xiu and what happened just now, Qiao Tingying would not dare to talk to Qin Xiu even if she wanted to.

Qin Xiu also enjoys her leisure time, but she doesn't know how to deal with these ladies.

But the leisurely situation did not last long.

Soon, a lady came to Qin Xiu.

The lady first bowed respectfully to Su Leyun, and then chatted with Qin Xiu.

Her husband's surname was Yang, and he worked in Dali Temple. In terms of official rank, he was a little lower than Qiao Tingying's husband. However, Mrs. Yang's husband was serious about work and good at conducting himself, so he was highly valued by his superiors. No surprise, after some time Then you can move up a level.

“Mrs. Zhou’s belly looks like it’s three or four months old, right?”

Mrs. Yang's eyes fell on Qin Xiu's belly.

Everyone knew that Mrs. Zhuangyuan was pregnant, and she also wanted to use this opportunity to open up a conversation with Qin Xiu.

Sure enough, Qin Xiu's nervous expression relaxed a little when she mentioned the child in her belly.

 She smiled gently, touched her belly, and replied, "Well, it's been three months."

Mrs. Yang said with a smile: "It will be fine if we survive the first three months. It seems that we can have the child's full moon banquet next year."

Qin Xiu was stunned for a moment, but she responded quickly, "I will definitely invite Mrs. Yang to come when the time comes."

“Then I have to prepare some gifts early.”

Mrs. Yang has a kind face and is good at finding topics. In addition, her tone is friendly. After chatting for a few words, Qin Xiu gradually relaxed and was no longer as nervous as before.

Su Leyun did not participate in the conversation between the two. Instead, he smiled lightly and treated himself as a background.

Mrs. Yang and Qin Xiu became more and more interested in each other as they chatted, just like good friends they hadn't seen for a long time.

 The other ladies nearby also had their own small circles, and for a while it seemed as if Su Leyun was isolated.

But Su Leyun didn't care.

She actually felt that this was pretty good, as it gave herself some time to rest.

Su Leyun took a sip of tea and looked up to see the butler leading a few people in.

She put down the tea cup and paused slightly.

 I didn’t expect to meet an acquaintance again.

The leading woman is none other than Li Mengyao, who got married not long ago.

The people behind her must be ladies from some family, judging by their attire.

The eldest son of the Prime Minister also participated in this year's Spring Festival, and his ranking was not bad. In addition, his father was the Prime Minister, so he did not go to the Hanlin Academy, but entered the Ministry of Personnel as a director.

Seeing Li Mengyao, the smile on Qiao Tingying's face became a little more sincere.

She stood up from her seat and said, "Mengyao, you're finally here. I just wanted someone to check when you would arrive."

 “I encountered some situations on the road and was delayed for some time.”

 Qiao Tingying walked to Li Mengyao. When the two stood together, they looked at each other from a distance and felt that they were somewhat similar.

Su Leyun looked at it for a while, and this thought came to his mind.

“Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Huo are cousins.”

Mrs. Yang seemed to be introducing the relationship between the two to Qin Xiu, but in fact she was explaining it to Su Leyun.

Su Leyun suddenly understood and nodded to Mrs. Yang, thanking her for her answer.

No matter in the past or present life, since Li Mengyao got married, she had no contact with him.

 I only vaguely remember that in her previous life, Li Mengyao did not live a very good life after her marriage.

Li Mengyao was talking to Qiao Tingying about what they met on the road, when she turned her head and saw Su Leyun.

Her face changed slightly, and she whispered to Qiao Tingying: "Why is she here?"

 “The lady of the number one scholar knows her.”

 “Know? I’m afraid we didn’t meet each other in Jingzhou before.”

Li Mengyao's voice was low. Although she was dissatisfied, she also knew that Su Leyun was the king of the village now. No matter how uncomfortable she felt, she could not directly embarrass him.

Qiao Tingying was stunned for a moment, but she had never thought about this aspect.

However, she vaguely remembered that her husband said that Zhou Mingsheng was not from Jingzhou.

 “Probably not.”

Qiao Tingying shook her head and explained.

Li Mengyao also knew that it was unlikely, but when she saw Su Leyun, she just didn't feel comfortable anywhere. However, she suppressed her dissatisfaction and walked straight forward without intending to salute Su Leyun.

Since Li Mengyao had no intention of coming forward to cause trouble, Su Leyun naturally would not deliberately cause trouble for himself.

 After sitting in his seat for a while, Su Leyun couldn't sit still.

She stood up and asked Lian Xin to tell Qiao Tingying's maid that she wanted to take a walk around.

　　When he learned that Su Leyun wanted to go for a walk, Qiao Tingying did not refuse and even arranged for a maid to lead the way.

The maid walked in front to lead the way, introducing a few words to Su Leyun from time to time.

Soon, a bamboo forest appeared in front of Su Leyun.

“The bamboos here have been around for many years, but they haven’t been taken care of. If you go further inside, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to leave.”

The maid smiled apologetically.

Su Leyun shook his head and pointed to the bamboo pavilion not far away, "I'll go sit there."

Lianxin and Cuiliu were following Su Leyun and had already noted the way there, so they asked the maid to leave first.

Sitting in the bamboo pavilion, Su Leyun breathed a sigh of relief.

 She was really tired from having to maintain good manners in front of those ladies just now.

 Speaking of which, Su Leyun put his hands on his cheeks and stared blankly.

 She had never attended such a banquet in her previous life.

  After all, Li Rui and the Li family hated her, so how could they allow her to attend such a banquet.

 It’s funny to say that she has been Mrs. Li for seven years, and probably not many people know about her.

Su Leyun hid the sarcasm in his eyes, raised his eyes and looked not far away, "Since you are here, come out."

Lian Xin and Cui Liu looked at each other and then looked over.

 After a moment, Li Mengyao slowly walked out.

“Mrs. Huo didn’t chat at the banquet, why are you here?”

Su Leyun spoke coldly.

She didn't think Li Mengyao came here accidentally, maybe she asked the maid specifically.

Maybe there was no one around, so Li Mengyao didn't bother to hide it, "Su Leyun, you designed Wan'er to marry that fool Li Rui, don't you feel guilty?"

Are you here to fight for Su Waner again?

Su Leyun sometimes really wants to ask Li Mengyao what kind of ecstasy soup Su Waner poured into her to make her work so hard.

Thinking of this, Su Leyun seriously asked: "Mrs. Huo, has Su Waner saved your life?"
