Shengjing Noble

These words left him speechless.

"You are becoming more and more unreasonable!"

He turned his back to her, but did not leave. He looked hesitant from behind, as if he was making a difficult decision.

Although Lu Wanjun knew his purpose, she was a little puzzled about what he wanted to do.

So she leaned back in her chair, sipping her tea leisurely, and asked curiously, "My husband, it's getting late, and I should go to bed after I finish my accounts. We've been together for so many years, so why don't we get straight to the point?"

Su Yongcheng took a deep breath, with a look of determination as if he was ready to die. He turned around and said, "I'll accompany you tonight, is that okay?"

"puff--"

A mouthful of tea sprayed all over his face.

"I'm sorry, I...I couldn't help it!"

Lu Wanjun suppressed her laughter, put down her teacup, stood up and threw a handkerchief to him.

"Quickly rub it."

She didn't even bother to touch him, and she didn't know where he got the confidence to say such shameless words just now!

In order to let his daughter enter the palace, he was willing to sell his body. What a noble and proud man!

Lu Wanjun really wanted to poke her eyes out to punish herself for her stupid behavior of marrying the wrong person!

Thinking about it carefully, ever since she gave birth to Su Lanyin and had the little cotton-padded jacket she had been longing for, she had completely given up the idea of ​​sleeping with Su Yongcheng again.

Then I devote myself to housework, taking care of children, managing various interpersonal relationships and handling business matters.

So roughly speaking, she and Su Yongcheng have hardly ever slept in the same bed in these fourteen years.

No wonder he suddenly said such words tonight!

Su Yongcheng was very angry after being sprayed in the face. He wiped the sprayed area vigorously with a handkerchief in disgust, as if it was stained with something dirty!

This scene made Lu Wanjun's heart even colder.

In the past, she was young, beautiful, and graceful, and she was more open and enchanting about sex than ladies like Liu Ruyan.

Therefore, even if Su Yongcheng didn't like her personality, it was difficult for him to give up her body.

This allowed her to give birth to three sons and one daughter in succession.

But later on, she only hoped to expand the Su family and provide a better future for her husband and children.

So I gradually neglected the management of my appearance and figure, and became more perfunctory about sex. Of course, I was more tired of dealing with it.

Only then was Su Yongcheng pushed completely into Liu Ruyan's arms, and they lived in love for more than ten years.

Thinking of this, the coldness in her eyes became increasingly difficult to conceal. Not to mention hugging him to sleep, even looking at him for one more second made her feel sick!

Meeting her chilling gaze, Su Yongcheng became inexplicably nervous, but then, thinking of his purpose, he immediately dropped the handkerchief in his hand and pretended to be tolerant and generous.

"You didn't mean it. I won't bother with you. As long as you are willing to ask Madam Li to bring Lan Xin into the palace, that will be all."

Listen, how magnanimous!

Lu Wanjun raised her eyebrows and asked, "So, is this what you meant, or what Lan Xin meant?"

"What does that mean? Why do you care so much?"

"If that's what you mean, and Lan Xin doesn't want to, I think it's better not to force the child. After all, she's unhappy. What if she enters the palace and puts on a bad face and offends the noble?"

"Lan Xin is not such a child..."

"Even if she is not, if it gets out, people will say that I, as a concubine, forced my child to enter the palace to marry into a wealthy family. I can't bear such a crime!"

"You... don't worry, Lan Xin won't try to curry favor with rich and powerful people. She just came to the palace to broaden her horizons!" Su Yongcheng had no choice but to admit it.

But Lu Wanjun still refused to give in: "Husband, your words don't count. Let Lan Xin speak for herself."

"Then...if she tells you, will you agree?"

"Of course. I'm her aunt and have raised her for more than ten years. I will do my best to fulfill the child's wish." She nodded with a smile.

Yinyin told her that Su Lanxin could be allowed to enter the palace, but only if her entire family begged to do so.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, these ungrateful bastards will just bite you back and hold a grudge against you!

Su Yongcheng's eyes flashed with joy. Although he could no longer pretend to be noble, at least Su Lanxin could enter the palace.

Compared with climbing up the social ladder and rising to a high position in the future, what does it matter if you keep your head down in the Su family now?

Anyway, outsiders don’t know!

But Su Yongcheng never expected that some things would be far from what he wanted!

……

Wanshou Pavilion.

Ji Yun sat up and drank tea, looking at the Su family members with different expressions on their faces, with a meaningful smile in her eyes.

"I am sorry to bother you all today because I am about to enter the palace and I am worried about you, so I came to see how Yinyin has learned the rules and etiquette."

Su Lanyin stepped forward and saluted respectfully, with every step being very standard and proper.

She is dignified and graceful, with an extraordinary temperament, she is even more elegant than a princess.

Su Lanxin had a smile on her face, but she could no longer hide the jealousy in her eyes.

Liu Ruyan, on the other hand, was as steady as an old dog. She smiled and praised: "Yinyin has learned etiquette very well."

Su Yongcheng also showed a rare hint of pride: "She is worthy of being the daughter of my Su family."

This time, he didn't say that she was a lowly concubine's daughter.

It turns out that as long as you can bring honor to him, you will get praise. He is really a "good father"!

Ji Yun glanced at them, ignored them, and turned to look at Lu Wanjun.

"Thank you for your hard work these days. You must have put a lot of effort into teaching Yinyin so well, right?"

"After all, she is my own daughter. Isn't it my duty to take care of her? I am really sorry to trouble you to take care of her."

"We are still polite to each other. By the way, I came here this time to tell you some good news."

"What good news?"

"This plum blossom banquet is much grander than previous ones, so there are more places for the families of officials above the first rank. I can take you with me."

Hearing this, except for Lu Wanjun and Su Lanyin who smiled, everyone else in the Su family turned green.

It’s ok for a mere concubine to enter the palace, but is a concubine also worthy of it?

Liu Ruyan could no longer hold back her smile. She clenched her fists and clenched her teeth, trying hard not to show any sign of being defensive.

However, her red eyes still betrayed her.

Su Yongcheng immediately stepped forward and said, "Madam Li, Wanjun comes from a lowly merchant family and has a hot temper. It is not appropriate for her to enter the palace. Why not let Ruyan accompany you to the palace to take care of the two children? After all, she is also a marquis..."

Ji Yun interrupted him unhappily, without giving him any face.

"Why? When will it be Lord Su's turn to take charge of the quota the Queen Mother gave me?"

This one sentence made Su Yongcheng freeze in place, his face full of embarrassment.

The old lady said unhappily, "Madam Li, Aunt Lu is my Su family's concubine after all. Whether she can go depends on whether we agree or not."

This is simply a blatant provocation to the Minister's wife!

The old lady took advantage of her seniority and thought that everyone had to give in to her, but she didn't expect that Ji Yun was not a pushover.
