Shengjing Noble

Su Lanxin said with a fake smile: "Then I wish Fifth Sister all the best in her entry into the palace this time."

Then she changed into a sentimental look, sighing and saying, "Sister, I heard that the palace is magnificent and must be extremely spectacular. I am so happy for you to see the world, but it's a pity that I am afraid I will never be able to see it in this lifetime."

Su Lanyin blinked and thought: It appeared! The legendary retreat in order to advance!

In her previous life, Su Lanxin had used this trick many times to take advantage of her.

Thinking of this, she deliberately showed off her attitude: "Of course, when I return from the palace, I will tell you everything I saw and heard during this visit, so that you can also broaden your horizons."

The smile on Su Lanxin's face suddenly became extremely stiff. She forced herself to give a few more hints, but Su Lanyin was like an innocent child. She didn't respond at all and became even more proud.

Liu Ruyan, who was standing by, could no longer bear it. She said in a sarcastic tone, "You must learn the rules well when you enter the palace this time. If a noble family takes a fancy to you and takes you in as a concubine, it will be your good fortune."

Lu Wanjun retorted bluntly: "My Yinyin learns rules and etiquette not to marry a man! Even if she never gets married, I can still support her."

Hearing her mother's words, Su Lanyin straightened her back even more.

Liu Ruyan was clearly so angry that her lungs were about to explode, but she still put on a kind look.

"I am also thinking about Yinyin. I hope she can marry a good husband and live happily for the rest of her life."

Lu Wanjun was about to expose her bad intentions, but Su Lanyin had already spoken with a smile.

"Thank you, Madam, for thinking of me. Yinyin knows that you treat me very well."

Liu Ruyan curled her lips and said, "After all, I am your stepmother, so I naturally wish you the best."

"Since you treat me so well, you should have prepared a birthday present for me, right? But I haven't seen anything yet. Did you forget to send it to me?"

Su Lanyin blinked her big eyes and looked at her expectantly.

Liu Ruyan is really shooting herself in the foot!

She gritted her teeth and smiled: "Of course I prepared it. The servants must have been lazy and forgot to send it. I will go back and teach them a lesson."

Seeing her pulling Su Lanxin out in a hurry, Su Lanyin immediately followed and said loudly: "Stepmother, don't forget to have someone send the gift. By the way, my father gave me a restaurant, your gift must be good. Yinyin would like to thank you in advance."

Liu Ruyan stopped immediately when she reached the gate of the courtyard. She turned back with a look of disbelief in her eyes, and her indifferent eyes turned into anger.

"What did you just say?" she asked in a cold voice.

Su Lanyin said happily, "Dad gave me that restaurant on East Street as a birthday gift. Didn't you know, stepmother?"

"He..." Liu Ruyan's face turned pale and she grabbed Su Lanxin's hand tightly.

"Mother, it hurts..."

Su Lanxin frowned and struggled to pull her hand out.

Seeing this, Lu Wanjun stepped forward to make up the matter: "I heard that Lan Xin also received a set of valuable headgear. Your father is the most fair!"

A set of headgear and a restaurant... there is no comparison at all, even a fool knows which one is more valuable!

The mother and daughter stood side by side, the curves of their mouths were surprisingly consistent, with the same mockery in their eyes, looking at Liu Ruyan and Su Lanxin, whose faces were gradually distorted at the gate of the courtyard.

"Stepmother, Fifth Sister, take care."

After Su Lanyin finished speaking, she pulled Lu Wanjun back to her room. Her back looked proud and complacent, as if she would not stop until she had pissed off the hypocritical mother and daughter to death.

Liu Ruyan and Su Lanxin were frustrated and didn't get the results they wanted. After returning to Mingzhu Pavilion, they locked the door and went into a rage, smashing everything in the house.

When the servants were cleaning up, they all kept their heads down, cautiously and carefully, for fear of doing something wrong and incurring the wrath of others.

No one expected that the eldest lady and the fifth lady, who were always as calm as chrysanthemums, would have such a hysterical side.

It was not until night that Liu Ruyan suppressed her anger. She then sent someone to deliver a jade bracelet to Suiyuexuan as a birthday gift for Su Lanyin.

……

In the following days, other members of the Su family came to Suiyue Pavilion one by one, hinting in their words that Su Lanyin should give the opportunity to enter the palace to Su Lanxin.

Unfortunately, since they didn't explain clearly, the mother and daughter would pretend to be stupid and always drive the visitors away in anger.

Even if the old lady gave the order, Lu Wanjun would use Ji Yun as an excuse to simply refuse.

No matter how much the old woman wanted to take advantage of her seniority, she didn't dare to show off to the Shangshu's wife. In the end, she could only keep silent, for fear that she would anger Lu Wanjun and report it to Ji Yun, thus offending their family's biggest backer.

In the end, the Su family had no choice but to speak out clearly as they did not want to give up such a good opportunity.

It was already late at night when Su Yongcheng arrived at Suiyuexuan. Lu Wanjun was checking the accounts sent by various shops at the end of the month.

As soon as he entered the door, he had a cold face and a bad tone. He didn't even bother to say hello and went straight to the point.

"This time when you enter the palace, you must ask Madam Li to bring Lan Xin with her."

Lu Wanjun lowered her eyes and didn't look at him. She was still calculating, but she replied perfunctorily: "Didn't Lan Xin say that she didn't want to enter the palace? Since the child doesn't want to go, why should you force her as a father? Besides, didn't you say that you hate people who try to curry favor with the rich and powerful the most?"

Su Yongcheng didn't get angry this time. Instead, he coughed lightly and pretended to be a loving father who was considering his children.

"Lan Xin is a kind and honest child who has never been interested in fame and fortune. But now that she has reached the age of marriage, she still has not found a marriage. As a father, I have to make plans for her even if I am reluctant. You have also been her aunt who has raised her for more than ten years. Why can't you think more about her?"

Lu Wanjun curled her lips. Even after it came to this, she still didn't forget to blame her.

"Husband, why do I remember that the eldest lady found a suitable family for Lan Xin a few days ago?"

"How can a family like that compare to the palace..."

Su Yongcheng almost blurted it out, completely exposing his inner greed and ambition.

Halfway through his speech he realized he had said something wrong, and immediately shut up, putting on a cold face and pretending to be aloof.

"What I mean is that Ruyan has a deep understanding of that family and found that they are not as good as she imagined. She is afraid that Lanxin will be wronged if she marries there. What's more, the child has no interest in the young master of that family."

"Oh." Lu Wanjun nodded lightly, said no more, and continued to check the accounts carefully with her head down.

Seeing her being so perfunctory, Su Yongcheng was extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.

He stepped forward to interrupt and angrily scolded: "Why do you only know how to calculate these things every day? You are simply obsessed with money! Can you learn from Ruyan? She only has eyes for me, and she is gentle, considerate and understanding!"

Lu Wanjun found it funny. Was she deliberately picking on him because he didn't agree with her?

Thinking of this, she sneered: "Because I was born into a merchant family, I am so lowly that I can only see money. It's not the first day that my husband has known me. Since you don't like me, go to Mingzhu Pavilion."
