Taking the blame for the fake daughter: After being released from prison, she went on a killing spre
Chapter 19: Banquet at the Marquis' Mansion
Su Yunling didn't expect that her unintentional words would come true.
A few loud thunders rang out, black clouds gathered from all directions, lightning rolled in the clouds, and a heavy rain caught everyone off guard.
There had been no rainfall around Shangjing for a long time. This spring rain was a blessing from heaven, relieving the urgent need for the upcoming spring plowing.
Emperor Jing Zhao was originally shocked and angry at the scene of the saint being chased by magpies and having feces thrown at her, but now, seeing the rain and dew falling from the sky, his anger finally turned into joy.
Xuan Mo and the eldest prince also showed expressions of indescribable relief.
After experiencing many twists and turns, Su Yueying finally became the Holy Maiden of Great Yin as she wished.
She stood in the rain, looking down at the people who were worshipping her, with a look of pride on her face.
Her vanity was greatly satisfied for the first time when she had her first taste of power.
Pei Zongyao held an umbrella for Su Yunling. The two of them stood behind the crowd worshiping the saint, standing out from the crowd.
"Why don't you kneel?" Su Yunling asked him.
"A man's knees are made of gold. He should kneel to the heaven, the earth, and his parents. She is nothing! Instead of asking me to believe that this rain was brought by her, I would rather believe that it was brought by you."
Su Yunling raised her eyes to look towards the altar, and just in time met Su Yueying's sharp gaze in mid-air.
Su Yunling did not avoid at all, and the eye contact between the two was interrupted when a maid moved in front of her.
"Second Miss Su, this is the invitation from our Yong'an Marquis Mansion. Princess Qingrong will hold a coming-of-age banquet in seven days. Please be on time..."
Su Yunling looked at the smiling old woman in front of her and was stunned for a few moments. Why would the Marquis of Yong'an send a private invitation to her, a concubine's daughter?
If anyone should be punished, it should be given to Su Zhaohong.
Marquis Yong'an was the husband of my grandmother Xu Zhang's younger sister.
The noble and willful Princess Qingrong in the Yong'an Marquis's mansion is the Yong'an Marquis's granddaughter. She is about the same age as Su Yunling. She has been to the Su mansion three times, and each time she dragged Su Yueying along to make things difficult for her.
The most profound experience was when he pushed Su Yunling into the water to pick up the bracelet that the county lady had thrown in on purpose.
In the eyes of the county lady, her behavior was to support Su Yueying. It was a chivalrous act of standing up for the weak. After all, Su Yunling was born to an ignominious concubine.
Facing this kind of person who is neither good nor bad, Su Yunling feels a headache.
Putting aside the fact that Su Yunling had not yet met her grandfather's family, even if they had, they were still distant relatives, so why would they suddenly send her an invitation?
When things go wrong, there must be fraud.
Su Zhaohong has been secretly observing Su Yunling these past few days. Rather than the possibility that she was possessed by an evil spirit, he was more afraid that it was Xu Wanhua who was coming.
Fortunately, Su Yunling had not behaved abnormally since that day, and he finally began to feel at ease.
A few days later, Su Yunling still went to the Marquis' Mansion on time for the banquet.
The Su family only prepared the most shabby carriage in the mansion for her. Not only did it creak all the way, but it also leaked air all the time. Fortunately, the weather in March was not too cold.
When she got out of the car, she found that Su Yueying had also arrived.
Apparently, she came here in the most luxurious carriage of the Su Mansion, escorted by her second and third brothers.
Linglan helped her out of the car, and as soon as she stood firm, she received warnings from her two brothers.
"Su Yunling, remember to guard your mouth and your legs. If you bring shame to the Su family, don't blame us for not recognizing you."
"Get out of the way! You talk as if we know each other very well." Su Yunling pushed the two of them away and left with Linglan.
As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, Su Yueying stopped him again, "Aren't you curious about why the county lady sent you an invitation? You should thank me for giving you this opportunity to see the world."
"Really? Thank you, Saint." Su Yunling was excited perfunctorily.
Su Yueying curled her lips and smiled. She leaned her head close to her ear, seeming to provoke and fool her: "Maybe the county lady has prepared a surprise for you. Will this be a day you will never forget?"
Su Yunling took a step back and deliberately asked in a loud voice: "How about you be more direct and tell me all the details of how you are going to harm me? Anyway, an ant like me can't resist..."
"You..." Su Yueying saw the strange look from the lady next to her and turned away.
Su Yueying has a special identity. In addition to two personal maids and two housekeepers, she also has four guards from the Imperial City Army who are responsible for her safety. That's really impressive.
The banquet was held in the water attic of the Marquis's mansion, and men and women sat at separate seats in accordance with etiquette.
She raised her eyes to look at the men's seats, and immediately spotted Xiao Nanchuan who was surrounded and flattered by several sons of officials.
What bad luck!
Su Yunling hurriedly found the most inconspicuous place to sit down. After a while, Princess Qingrong came over with Su Yueying, the Marquis' wife and other female relatives.
When the county princess came of age, she tied her hair into a high bun with a golden hairpin. Her snow-white silk skirt was woven with dark silver patterns. The apricot-colored shawl matched the red flower on her forehead, making her look lively and bright.
Su Yunling stuffed a piece of chestnut cake into her mouth and thought while chewing, if you put aside the fact that she had been bullied by her in the past, this county lady was still quite likable.
pity……
"Su Yunling." Princess Qingrong suddenly stopped in front of her.
Su Yunling swallowed the chestnut cake in her mouth, then stood up and greeted.
"I greet Princess Qingrong." She wanted to embarrass her in public again? Unfortunately, she no longer cared about her face.
"There's chestnut cake powder on your veil."
"Ah?" Su Yunling was stunned. What kind of difficulty was this?
However, seeing the people around me unable to hold back their laughter, well... it's still a little embarrassing.
"Thank you for the reminder, Lord County."
"You're welcome. Your face isn't healed yet? Aren't you said to be a miracle doctor? Why can't you even heal your own skin injuries?"
Su Yunling sneered in his heart, as expected, he came after all.
"I am not a miracle doctor, and I am good at treating internal injuries, not external injuries. As the saying goes, it is difficult for a doctor to heal himself, and it is difficult for a doctor to save others."
"It all comes down to poor medical skills."
Su Yunling: "...The county lady is right!"
"Take off your veil and let me see how ugly you are. If you really can't do it, I'll lend you my palace doctor."
"Mingchu, don't be rude. Come and meet your great aunt." The voice of the Marquis's wife resolved the embarrassment for Su Yunling.
She looked up and saw Xu Zhang coming over.
Xu Zhang looked at Su Yunling and seemed to be hesitant to speak, but was soon pulled away by Su Yueying.
"Grandma, come sit with Yingying..."
Su Yunling sat down again, but she couldn't eat anymore. A piece of chestnut cake was still stuck in her throat.
"Lily of the Valley, give me some water."
After drinking a glass of water, she looked up and saw Xiao Nanchuan looking at her.
She immediately turned her face away and picked up her round fan to block his view.
Ever since he had tricked him on the palace road last time, Xiao Nanchuan was first whipped thirty times by King Rui, and then was put in solitary confinement for half a month. He was only released two days ago.
Prince Rui even personally took his infatuated son to explain to Emperor Jing Zhao. Emperor Jing Zhao gave Xiao Nanchuan one last chance. If any rumors about him and Su Yueying spread again, he would be expelled from Shangjing.
At the same time, he directly decided to marry Master Fu's granddaughter to him as his principal wife in order to put an end to his thoughts.
Just as Su Yunling came back to her senses, the waiter brought new pastries. She picked up a piece and was about to taste it when she smelled the scent of almond powder.
She cannot eat almonds, otherwise, due to blood deficiency, wind will be generated, which will induce severe skin itching.
Her grandmother Xu Zhang and her mother Xu Wanhua also had the same taboo.
But this snack is clearly buttered abalone, so how come there is almond powder in it?
Someone did it on purpose...
She raised her eyes and looked around, finally stopping her gaze on Su Yueying's face.
Su Yueying was sitting at the same table with Princess Qingrong, and they were whispering intimately.
Although Su Yueying pretended not to notice her, Su Yunling still caught her abnormal absent-mindedness.
Su Yueying picked up the teacup and took a sip, then turned her gaze to Su Yunling. Only after she saw her eat a whole buttered abalone did she raise the corners of her lips with pride.
Just a moment later, Su Yunling, who was sitting at the end of the banquet, fainted.
