Shengjing Noble

Su Yongcheng left in anger, while Lu Wanjun looked worried.

"Yinyin, Liu Ruyan has already paid the compensation, and Nanny Song has been imprisoned and has not been released yet. If we continue to pursue the matter, wouldn't it be..."

It wasn't that she was soft-hearted, she was just afraid that Su Yongcheng would vent his anger on her daughter, and she would suffer.

Su Lanyin naturally knew what her mother was thinking, so she comforted her softly, "Mom, I didn't say to continue pursuing the matter. I just wanted Dad to see Liu Ruyan's true nature."

Lu Wanjun's face turned cold: "Even if he knew, so what? Do you think he really couldn't see anything after all these years? He just cares more about Liu Ruyan's family background!"

Su Lanyin was surprised. She had always thought that her mother was so blinded by love that she couldn't see Su Yongcheng's true face.

"Mom, you seem to be particularly sober today."

She smiled knowingly, thinking that it would be only a matter of time before her mother let go of this evil relationship and divorced the scumbag.

Lu Wanjun touched her head, her eyes full of heartache.

"I have been married to him for so many years, how could I not understand his true nature? In the final analysis, he actually doesn't love anyone."

She used to deceive herself because she had no one to rely on and could only let her life go on like this.

But now it’s different. Her daughter has grown up and understands and loves her, so she no longer needs to count on a man to care for her.

If she still had some illusions about Su Yongcheng before, the slap just now completely woke her up.

"Oh, right." Lu Wanjun suddenly remembered something, her eyes brightened, "Yinyin, do you remember what day tomorrow is?"

Su Lanyin was puzzled: "Isn't it Su Lanxin's coming-of-age party?"

"Of course not. Tomorrow is also your birthday."

Only then did she remember that she and Su Lanxin were born on the same day and month, just one year apart.

The old lady asked someone to tell her fortune and the person said that she had ruined Su Lanxin's luck, so she would not allow her to have a birthday gift.

For fourteen years, she didn't have a birthday. Except for Lu Wanjun and those close to her, no one else in the Su family even remembered that she had a birthday.

Lu Wanjun's eyes were red with distress, and she felt aggrieved for her: "In the past, mother was thinking about the overall situation and didn't want to argue with that old woman, so she never celebrated for you properly. I'm sorry Yinyin."

Faced with this guilt, Su Lanyin fully understood her mother's situation at that time.

So I comforted her, "It's not mom's fault. She always prepares gifts for me every year, and my brother also quietly wishes me a happy birthday. I'm very happy."

Lu Wanjun felt very sad, but then her eyes suddenly became firm.

"Humph, what bullshit luck? Why can't my daughter have a birthday? Yinyin, tomorrow I will give you a grand birthday!"

Su Lanyin nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

Lu Wanjun said angrily, "That damned old woman despised us for not being presentable enough and didn't allow us to attend Su Lanxin's coming-of-age party. It just so happens that we don't want to attend. I'll have someone prepare it right away. Oh, and we have to invite a few distinguished guests as well."

Having said that, she walked out and began to order people to prepare birthday gifts with great enthusiasm.

Su Lanyin looked at her mother's busy back and a smile appeared on her lips.

If my mother had not been trapped in this small world, but had gone into business with my grandfather, I'm afraid she would have achieved great success now.

Women in this world...when will they be able to break free from secular oppression and bravely be themselves?

……

at night.

When the old lady heard that Lu Wanjun was going to hold a birthday party for Su Lanyin's fourteenth birthday, she became furious.

She sent someone to summon the mother and daughter to Wanshou Pavilion for questioning.

Lu Wanjun could no longer bear the grievances that had been accumulated for so many years. She cried with red eyes and stood in the hall to refute.

"Mother-in-law, my Yinyin hasn't had a birthday in all these years, all because the Jianghu master you found said that she had ruined Su Lanxin's luck. I have endured this for fourteen years for the sake of the peace of our family. Now I will never let Yinyin suffer this injustice again!"

"Snapped!"

The old lady angrily smashed the teacup, broken porcelain pieces scattered all over the floor, and she started coughing in anger.

These days, without expensive supplements or the care of miracle doctors, she is no longer as healthy as before.

The face that was originally rosy and youthful now has a grayish look and is full of fatigue.

Liu Ruyan said that she would ask the imperial physician to treat her, but how could the imperial physician condescend to treat the mother of a sixth-rank official?

He only came for the sake of the Marquis's Mansion and went through the motions. He didn't even bother to take her pulse. He just left a perfunctory prescription and left in a hurry.

Even so, the old lady still scolded Lu Wanjun for being ungrateful, and even told everyone how filial her daughter-in-law Liu Ruyan was to her.

"You vicious woman, you clearly want to harm my granddaughter! Why did that little bitch Su Lanyin have to be born on the same day as Xin'er? It's obvious that she wanted to steal her luck. You still want to celebrate this bastard's birthday? As long as I'm alive, this is impossible!"

She was filled with righteous indignation, and her fingers tightly grasped a string of old, shiny Buddhist beads.

That was a treasure given to her by Mr. Jianghu fourteen years ago. She has been holding it in her hands all these years, saying that it can prolong her life.

She has always believed that this string of Buddhist beads has kept her in good health for so many years.

In her previous life, Lu Wanjun did not expose the truth. She just wanted to coax the old lady, at least to give her some psychological comfort.

But now, she was furious when she thought about her daughter being wronged by a strange swindler.

Although Lu Wanjun is irritable and easily angered, she is also very tongue-tied. Sometimes her brain cannot keep up with her mouth, and she can do nothing but make a fuss.

She was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. She wanted to say something in rebuttal, but after organizing her words several times, she couldn't say anything.

Seeing this, Su Lanyin stepped forward and bowed, then spoke in a gentle and slow tone.

"Grandmother, did that Jianghu master really say that my being born on the same day and month as my sister ruined her luck?"

The old lady rolled her eyes at her unhappily: "Of course!"

Su Lanyin looked at Su Yaozu, who was sitting next to her and gnawing on a pig's trotter, and her expression suddenly changed.

"No, no wonder grandma has been in poor health for so many years. Now I remember that Su Yaozu was born on the same day as you. So it seems that we should separate the family as soon as possible and let the second branch return to the countryside, so as not to affect your luck!"

After saying that, she turned around and blinked, and Lu Wanjun immediately understood.

"Yes, yes, yes. Su Yaozu was born on the same day as my mother-in-law. So, isn't that an offense to you? For the sake of my mother-in-law's luck, let's separate from the second branch now!"

The old lady was so angry that her face turned green. She clenched her fists and glared at the two of them fiercely: "Shut up, how can a granddaughter like her compare with my grandson? She is just a money-loser!"

Su Lanyin frowned and looked at Su Lanxin who was standing aside with an indifferent expression, and then said, "Fifth sister, grandma said that you and I are money-losing goods."
