Chapter 34: Returning Home for Birthday Celebrations
Mu Zihan just nodded and responded to Su Yao's greeting.
It stands to reason that although Su Yao is Mu Zihan's father-in-law, Mu Zihan is a prince, and his identity is naturally more noble than Su Yao.
Su Ruoxi wanted to shout "Dad", but before she could say anything, she was pulled by Mu Zihan to the top seat.
The atmosphere in the hall was obviously much more depressing because of their arrival.
Su Ruoxi could feel that there was an invisible coercion in the air enveloping the entire hall.
"Third prince, the princess has worked hard all the way. Come! Serve tea! ”
Neglected, Su Yao smiled awkwardly and ordered someone to serve tea.
"My sister's status is different now, and even her spirit is much better than before, which really makes my sister envious."
As soon as Su Ruoxi sat down, Su Ruotong spoke first. And Mu Zihan on the side was drinking tea with a very leisurely appearance.
Hearing Su Ruotong's words, Su Ruoxi glanced at her and said with a smile: "There is food and drink in the palace, and the spirit is naturally good." ”
She used to be in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Su Ruotong tried her best to bully her.
Now that she is married to the Three Princes' Mansion and is doing better than before, Su Ruotong is naturally unhappy. How could she not hear the meaning of Su Ruotong's words just now.
Su Ruoxi said this, which immediately made Su Ruotong very embarrassed, but in order not to lose the face of the prince, she could only joke with a smile: "Sister is really good at laughing, this is said as if she didn't have food in the Prime Minister's Mansion before." ”
"Daddy loves your sister so much, and he has never treated your sister badly. If my sister's words just now made the third prince misunderstand, where would my father's face go. ”
has dealt with Su Ruoxi a few times, and Su Ruotong also knows a little about Su Ruoxi's temperament.
She knew that her previous words would be refuted by Su Ruoxi, so before Su Ruoxi spoke, she first lifted Su Yao out as a shield.
"Well, you two sisters rarely see each other, and it's time to catch up. Xi'er, Tong'er, your mother prepared refreshments for the two of you in the backyard, and went to the backyard to chat with your mother, she misses the two of you very much. ”
Seeing that Su Yao deliberately wanted to break them apart, Su Ruoxi looked at Mu Ziran suspiciously, and then looked at Mu Zihan beside him.
Mu Zihan hasn't spoken since he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Su Ruoxi doesn't know if he is still angry because of what happened in the carriage just now.
Feeling Su Ruoxi's gaze, Mu Zihan said softly in a rare voice: "Ruoxi, listen to your father, go." ”
There is a conspiracy!
As soon as she heard Mu Zihan's words, Su Ruoxi knew that there must be something wrong with this.
It's just that, presumably, if she stays in the hall, they won't say anything that makes her want to hear.
Therefore, Su Ruoxi could only choose to leave temporarily.
The two of them bowed and exited the hall, and as soon as they left, the door of the hall was shut, as if there was something important to discuss.
Su Ruoxi glanced at it, then stopped guessing and walked straight towards the backyard.
She didn't want to think too much about it, as long as she had something to eat and play, she was satisfied.
Su Ruotong followed behind Su Ruoxi unhurriedly, Wan'er glanced at it, and whispered beside Su Ruoxi: "Miss, are we really going to see my aunt in the back garden?" ”
Listening to Wan'er's tone, she seemed to be a little worried, after all, they had suffered a lot from Shen Lianyue before.
"Go! Why don't you go if you have something to eat! ”
Su Ruoxi didn't care at all, even if she deliberately avoided the mother and daughter now, in the next few days, they would think of a way to fix her.
Instead of running away, it is better to take the initiative.
Looking at Su Ruoxi's back, a hint of pride flashed in Su Ruotong's eyes.
When she arrives in the back garden, she will definitely make Su Ruoxi look good, so as to vent the hatred in her heart before.
It's the season of flowers, and all the flowers and trees in the back garden are in bloom.
As soon as Su Ruoxi walked into the back garden, she smelled a fragrant fragrance, which made her feel a lot better.
"Sister Ruotong!"
Not long after entering the garden, a little boy ran over happily.
Seeing that it was Su Yi, Su Ruoxi frowned, and quickly dodged to avoid colliding with him.
Su Yi was also born to Shen Lianyue, and Su Ruotong's younger brother, Su Yao's only son, was only eleven years old.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Yi can be said to be a collection of thousands of favors, and the baby is very good.
Shen Lianyue's son, if he doesn't want to use it, he can guess that his personality is definitely not much better. Moreover, although he is young, he has bullied her before.
Su Ruoxi recalled everything about Su Yi in her heart, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hang a sneer.
Usually, Su Yi has been in the royal academy, studying with the princes and the nobles of the ministers, and rarely comes back.
This time Su Yao celebrated his birthday, but he didn't expect to get him back.
Coming to the pavilion, Shen Lianyue had already prepared refreshments and waited. And Shen Lianyue also had a daughter by her side, Su Ruoxi took a look, and after finding that she didn't know her, she didn't look at it anymore.
The people around Shen Lianyue couldn't mention her favor.
Su Ruotong pulled Su Yiyou to follow with a smile, and as soon as Shen Lianyue saw Su Ruotong, she immediately stepped forward to greet her with a smile, and directly ignored Su Ruoxi's existence.
"My baby daughter, I miss my mother's kiss, let my mother see ......"
Seeing that Shen Lianyue and Su Ruotong were staging a fleshy family relationship there, Su Ruoxi didn't pay attention to it at all, sat down and put a piece of peach blossom cake in her mouth.
"Hey, this peach blossom cake tastes good, Wan'er, you can also taste it."
Su Ruoxi brought a plate of peach blossom cake directly in front of her, and then took a piece and handed it to Wan'er's mouth.
Wan'er smiled happily and was about to open her mouth to bite, when an angry shout immediately came from behind her.
"Presumptuous! This is a pastry given by the Queen Mother, how can you touch it casually! ”
Su Ruoxi raised her eyes and saw that Shen Lianyue just came over with Su Ruotong in her arms, and her cautious appearance was as if Su Ruotong was eight or nine months pregnant, which made Su Ruoxi want to laugh.
However, although Shen Lianyue's words just now were for Wan'er, her eyes looked at Su Ruoxi, as if she was scolding both of them for being cheap maids.
Su Ruoxi ignored Shen Lianyue, directly handed a whole plate of pastries to Wan'er, and said, "Wan'er, this is a reward given to you by this princess, and this princess will eat it if you want it." ”
When Shen Lianyue saw that Su Ruoxi was not only bold, but also deliberately provoked her, her eyes widened with anger.
However, Su Ruoxi is nominally the third princess, so Su Ruoxi said that it was a reward for Wan'er, and she couldn't do anything about it.
Su Ruotong patted the back of Shen Lianyue's hand comfortingly, and then the two sat down opposite Su Ruoxi together.
