On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

Su Sui'an reminded from the side.

Ji Lanshuang took a deep breath and tucked the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief.

With the help of Su Sui'an and Ji Lanshuang, he entered the house.

The house was exactly as Manager Fu had described, with everything arranged.

As you go further inside, there are guards on duty, as well as maids and old women who are responsible for tending to the flowers and plants, and lighting lamps and candles in the house.

The servants were not too surprised to see Su Sui'an and the others appear, as if someone had already told them about these things in advance.

After a simple and respectful greeting, they went back to their own business.

Just as they reached the Chuihua Gate, a small body rushed into Ji Lanshuang's arms like an arrow.

Seeing the familiar voice and figure, the heavy weight on Ji Lan's heart finally dropped slowly.

"Mother."

After surviving the disaster, Su Jinchi called Ji Lanshuang's name with a little more eagerness.

"Chi'er misses mother so much."

Ji Lanshuang had been frightened for most of the day, and only at this moment did she dare to really relax all her tense nerves.

Just as he was about to ask Su Sui'an what happened, Shopkeeper Fu stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Ji Lanshuang and Su Sui'an.

"Miss, young lady, the young master said he wants to wait for you to eat together, how about we go to the dining room first?"

"Okay." Su Sui'an nodded.

Shopkeeper Fu walked in front with a happy look on his face, leading the way, and ordered the maids and servants who followed behind to set the table and prepare the dishes.

"Miss, young lady, I, the young master, have a bold guess that since you have moved here today, you may regard this place as your home. Therefore, I will cook the meals according to the rules of our warm house. Whether it suits your taste or not, we will just make do with it for tonight. Tomorrow, you can see if you want to eat anything and tell Aunt Fatty the dishes."

As he spoke, he extended his hand to the plump woman who was following behind him with a kind face and a smile like Maitreya Buddha, "I'm not exaggerating. In Luojing's restaurants, there are not many chefs whose cooking skills can compare to Auntie Fatty's."

Su Sui'an looked at Aunt Fat for a few times, but didn't find any clues from her, so he turned his attention back to the table full of dishes.

The Ji family's main family is in Qi Su, and people in Qi Su like to put meaning into what they do.

Therefore, twelve dishes were neatly laid out on the table.

There are steamed whitebait, braised lion's head, red ginseng stewed with dried bamboo shoots, fish lips stewed with three treasures, coral abalone, crab roe mandarin duck balls, crab meat and bird's nest soup, Huadiao crispy duck, stewed drunken chicken, stewed black ginseng with scallops, splendid eight-treasure risotto, and eight-treasure red bean cake.

Manager Fu also gave them an enthusiastic introduction, saying that this table of dishes was collectively called "a house full of gold and jade", which meant that after they moved in, they would always have a happy reunion and a festive atmosphere.

Su Sui'an just smiled and said nothing.

Since it is an allegory, it is just to express people’s hopes.

Just like her name is Sui'an, her parents gave her this name in the hope that she would be safe and sound every year.

But in the end, her last life was filled with turmoil and anxiety every year.

It means that this kind of thing is not suitable for her.

But it didn't affect her good appetite when she was hungry.

Maybe it’s because I’m really hungry and tired today.

Su Jinchi, who used to have to be urged many times before he would eat a few mouthfuls of food, ate two bowls of rice today for the first time. After putting down his bowl, he took the initiative to ask Ji Lanshuang for Nanny Deng to fan him to sleep.

Manager Fu was naturally very happy about the young master's dependence on the house.

He quickly followed to lead the way for Nanny Deng.

Suddenly, Su Sui'an and her daughter were the only ones left in the dining room.

Ji Lan Shuang is not in good health. Although she has been taking care of her body these days, except that she is in a better mood, her appetite seems to be still as poor.

While drinking the crab meat and bird's nest soup, Su Sui'an silently took note of this matter in his heart. He planned to send someone to ask the old doctor at the city gate to come and take Ji Lanshuang's pulse.

The dining room fell into silence for a moment, with only the occasional crisp sound of porcelain soup hitting porcelain bowls.

Several times, Ji Lanshuang held the bowl and watched Su Sui'an eat the second bowl of eight-treasure rice pudding with gusto, wanting to say something but stopping herself from saying it.

Su Sui'an put down the white porcelain flower-shaped bowl, picked up the peach blossom blue and white teacup beside him and took a sip of the scented tea to relieve his greasiness.

This time, crab roe is used instead of eggs in the eight-treasure rice.

There was still the freshness of crab roe and the fragrance of ham between his teeth and cheeks, which was later neutralized by the fragrant flower tea. His whole soul seemed to be sublimated. Su Sui'an closed his eyes and sighed in satisfaction, "I'm so full."

Turning around, she saw Ji Lanshuang looking at her lovingly while she ate. Su Suian put down the teacup and smiled at her, "Mother, if you have anything to ask, just ask directly. You are much freer here than when you were in the second house."

With Su Sui'an's permission, Ji Lanshuang quickly put down the bowl and asked the question that had been weighing on his mind all night, "What on earth is going on?"

Su Sui'an looked at the food on the table, which was not eaten much, and sneered, "It's very simple. Hong is also suspicious of my father's identity. She would rather kill him by mistake than to cut off the roots of our second branch."

Then, Su Sui'an told Ji Lanshuang how Song Zhu was murdered before and how he was frightened to the point of losing his mind by Nanny Yu and others during those days when no one knew about it, as well as the vicious plan that Hong had planned today.

Even though she knew that the first wife would not let them go easily, Su Sui'an also repeatedly said that the first wife was very cruel to them.

But Ji Lanshuang could never have imagined that Hong could be so vicious.

She clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves, and her body began to tremble with anger.

"What's wrong with this child?"

That was the only thing she could think of.

She seemed to squeeze out those few simple words from between her teeth, full of anger yet powerless to do anything about it.

Su Sui'an sighed, "Mother, not everyone in this world has a conscience. You and father cherish the old friendship, but they are determined to wipe out the roots and leave no chance of survival. Do you dare to keep such a family?"

Ji Lan's eyes were red, and her teeth were clenched, "The eldest wife is bullying me too much."

Ji Lanshuang thinks that she is not the kind of person who likes to care about things.

The Hong family wanted money, and she had it, so she just gave it to them.

Harmony in the family brings happiness to everyone, and it is helpful to her children's careers and marriages. It is a win-win situation.

But they not only want money, they also want their lives.

I can't tolerate this any longer.

If her husband comes back and still can't figure out what's going on and still sides with the first wife, then she...will have to protect her children no matter what...

Even if I divorce him.

Prepared for the worst in mind.

Ji Lanshuang's mentality gradually calmed down, and she no longer felt guilty about leaving Changping Marquis Mansion without permission.

She took the initiative to ask Su Sui'an, "An'er, what should we do next? Is there anything I can do for you?"
