Su Mingtang led people to greet people ten miles out of the city.

It wasn't that Su Mansion deliberately put on a grand show because of the presence of the Scarlet King, it was really Su Mingtang who was worried that Su Baitong would lose the face of their Su Mansion at the city gate.

Scarlet King Ling Xiaotian took more than a dozen guards and rode leisurely on his horse, the autumn sun at noon was so hot that even Su Mingtang was sweating. But the Scarlet King seemed to be in high spirits, and his eyes looked into the distance from time to time.

Then a procession came from the main road behind them, and after they stopped at the side of the road, they unloaded their things from the wagon and began to build a shed.

After a while, a colorful shed was erected on the side of the road for shading.

Outside the color shed, several maids were busy, building a small stove and decocting tea.

Su Mingtang was surprised: "Whose subordinate is this?" "These men were busy, but their master was never seen, only a man who looked like a steward was arranging there.

The chief steward of the Su Mansion came over and said, "Master, they are the people from the Chu Mansion who brought Miss Su back to Beijing." ”

Chu Mansion?

It sounded a little familiar, but Su Mingtang didn't react for a while which Chu Mansion it was.

Since his daughter came back with their convoy, Su Mingtang had to step forward.

The steward of the Chu Mansion was very polite, and his attitude towards Su Mingtang was also extremely respectful.

"Lord Su. Our son-in-law has already sent a letter to the family, asking us to wait here, if Su Fu can't send someone to pick it up, we will also send Miss Su back. ”

The corners of Su Mingtang's mouth twitched a few times, obviously she was his daughter, but now she was so thoughtful arranged by someone else's house. His face felt hot.

Scarlet King Ling Xiaotian also dismounted at this time and came to the front, "You are the Chu Mansion that runs the Treasure Building?" ”

The steward of the Chu Mansion respectfully saluted: "Exactly." ”

Su Mingtang couldn't help but be embarrassed, he still looked down on these people a little just now, but he didn't expect them to be people from Qizhen Building, no wonder he felt that the name of Chu Mansion was a little familiar just now.

The steward of the Chu Mansion invited Ling Xiaotian and Su Mingtang to sit in the color shed, and asked the maid to bring the freshly brewed tea.

Blowing a cool breeze and drinking tea, Su Mingtang's heart couldn't feel comfortable.

He originally waited for Su Baitong to arrive for a good lesson for her, and then directly sent someone to send her to the family nunnery, but this situation in front of him

If he gets angry, it will make the people of Chu Mansion think that he looks down on people.

Although the Chu Mansion is not a family of eunuchs, their financial resources should not be underestimated. Even those kings and nobles would not take the initiative to provoke them, and he would not be guilty of grudges with each other.

The sun was turning westward, and they waited for two hours before they saw a caravan coming from the road in the distance.

The steward of the Chu Mansion immediately asked several family members to ride up to meet him.

The maid in the colorful shed also took out a soft cushion and put it on the chair, someone brought a white jade porcelain plate, Su Mingtang took a look, and saw that it contained all kinds of snacks and fruits, and set up a table.

This pomp and circumstance made him speechless.

After sitting for a while, the caravan in the distance drew closer.

A middle-aged man jumped from the horse in front of him. The steward of the Chu Mansion hurriedly stepped forward, "Uncle Sun has worked hard all the way. ”

Sun smiled, "It's okay, it's okay, you've waited for a long time, right?" ”

The steward laughed.

At this time, a young man came out of the carriage in the center of the convoy, and the steward immediately gathered his spirit when he saw it, and stepped forward to salute: "Childe has worked hard all the way, and the little one has asked Childe to say goodbye." ”

The family members of the Chu Mansion knelt on the ground in unison.

The boy snorted and waved his hand to get everyone up.

The steward himself stepped forward to lead the way and invited the boy to the color shed.

Su Mingtang subconsciously stood up, but suddenly remembered that with his identity, there was no need to be so respectful to this young man.

Just when he was stunned, the Scarlet King on the side stood up and greeted the young man: "Young Master Chu." ”

The young man was stunned when he saw Su Mingtang and Ling Xiaotian, "I don't know who the two are."

The steward of the Chu Mansion hurriedly stepped forward to introduce.

"I see." After listening to the manager's explanation, Chu Zimo smiled. "Master Su came just in time, and I don't have to let someone send Miss Su back to the house." After that, he turned to the middle-aged man and said, "Uncle Sun, please ask Miss Su to come out." ”

Uncle Sun took the order, turned around and went to a carriage, and whispered something, and then everyone saw a maid walking down from the carriage, and then a gorgeously dressed young lady appeared in front of everyone.

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on the young lady.

A trace of astonishment flashed in the eyes of the Scarlet King Ling Xiaotian, and he looked at Chu Zimo as if he had made a mistake.

Su Mingtang stood there with a cold face.

The woman in front of her is dressed so gorgeously, where does she have the appearance of their Sufu scholarly family.

He hadn't seen him for ten years, and he couldn't remember what his daughter looked like.

When Su Baitong left, she was only about three years old, and she was thin and small at that time, usually with her shoulders shrunk, and she looked like a frightened bird, which made people feel unhappy when they looked at it.

Since her mother gave birth to her, she seemed to have hit an evil spirit, always shouting that she should not give birth to her, and later he had to lock Su Baitong's biological mother in the back house.

Then the madwoman set herself on fire and almost burned herself to death.

Thinking of this, Su Mingtang's face darkened a little.

It was because of them that he couldn't raise his head in the court, and everyone outside laughed at him for having a crazy wife, and it was crazy to have a girl.

As the woman gradually approached, Su Mingtang's brows couldn't help but wrinkle.

He felt that she was familiar to him like this, but she didn't look like the madwoman who gave birth to her

He stood there with his eyes glazed, surrounded by a strange feeling.

Everyone next to him felt weird when they saw it.

What's wrong with Master Su, why didn't he move and didn't even say a word.

The woman walked up to the crowd, her head hanging slightly, and she seemed extremely shy.

"Lord Su?" Chu Zimo called.

Su Mingtang came back to his senses, put on a majestic posture, and shouted: "Bai Tong, do you know your mistake!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

A hint of mockery crossed the Scarlet King's eyes.

Su Mingtang was full of momentum and wanted to continue, but at this moment, the woman called weakly: "Second uncle"

Second uncle?

Su Mingtang's breath staggered suddenly!

The woman in front of her was born with a charming face, a plump body, a round face, and her eyebrows and eyes were a little like him, but more like his third brother!

Call him the second uncle

This woman is not his daughter! She's not Su Baitong!

By the way, she is the daughter of the third brother, Su Lingjuan, what about Su Baitong?

Su Mingtang raised his eyes and looked around, but he didn't see Su Baitong.

All he could see was the crowd around him, all with mockery on their faces, and they were holding back the smile in their hearts.

Su Mingtang stood there awkwardly, stiff. Upper peasant girl.

As a father, he would admit his daughter in public, which is a big joke!
