Shengjing Noble

She immediately slammed the table and stood up: "Old Madam, are you demonstrating to me? How come Lord Su has been an official for so many years, has he forgotten who helped him get the order? Since my husband can promote him, he can naturally let him go back to the countryside to rest!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the old lady's face turned pale and she immediately stood up from the chair, but she swayed twice due to lack of energy and blood.

She no longer dared to be as strong as she had just been when protecting her child, and she forced a smile on her old face.

"Madam Li, what are you talking about? I am doing this for your own good. Lu Wanjun is just a concubine after all. She is of low status and doesn't know the rules. How can she enter the palace? It would be more appropriate for Ruyan to accompany you to the palace. After all, she is also a noble lady of the Marquis' Mansion. There will be no mistakes."

Ji Yun sneered, her eyes contemptuous: "What do you mean, old lady? Wanjun and I have been friends for many years. You said that she is of low status and does not know the rules and is not worthy of entering the palace. Then, am I not worthy of being friends with her?"

"No, no, I have absolutely no such intention!"

The old lady's explanation made things worse, and panic flashed in her eyes.

Su Yongcheng was so angry that he couldn't help but stepped forward and explained: "My mother just said it casually. In the end, it is up to you, Madam Li, to make the final decision."

Ji Yun snorted and turned around to continue chatting with Lu Wanjun.

Liu Ruyan stood there, her eyes and eyebrows full of coldness. She wanted to maintain her dignity, but her anger clouded her mind. If she hadn't pinched the flesh on the back of her hand to endure it, she would have stepped forward to argue.

If she spoke at this time, wouldn't people think she wanted to enter the palace?

How can she maintain her pure and noble character?

Humph, isn’t it just about accompanying my daughter into the palace to meet the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and to come into contact with those royal relatives and nobles?

She doesn't care!

Seeing Ji Yun put down the teacup and prepare to get up and leave, all the Su family members could no longer sit still.

Su Yongcheng stared at Lu Wanjun with his eyes full of eagerness and urging, the meaning was self-evident.

The eldest lady, who was always as calm as a chrysanthemum, no longer had the calmness she had forced herself to show. She clutched the handkerchief tightly, took a step forward, opened her mouth, and looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

The one who couldn't wait even more was Su Lanxin. She tugged at Liu Ruyan's sleeve and stamped her feet nervously, as if she was about to cry.

If you miss today, you may never have another chance.

Su Lanyin saw all of this and admired it silently.

In their previous life, this family of three had never shown such an urgent expression.

After all, they are not competitive and are aloof and indifferent. With just a few hints, they can sit back and watch Lu Wanjun fight for their interests.

In this life, without her mother's sacrifice, these people have to face the difficulties of reality on their own.

She wanted to push down their high heads bit by bit, tear off their disguises, and expose the greed and vanity in their bones completely under the sun!

Ji Yun walked out and said with a smile: "No need to see me off. Why are you being so polite to me? I will come to pick you up in person when the time comes. Don't forget to dress up carefully."

She walked to the door while giving instructions. Su Lanxin couldn't hold back any longer and rushed over and knelt on the ground.

"Mrs. Li!"

Hearing the sound, Ji Yun and Lu Wanjun at the door turned back at the same time.

"Fifth Miss? What are you doing? Get up quickly."

Ji Yun raised her eyebrows. She knew everything in her mind, but she still pretended to ask.

Su Lanxin's face turned red, and she looked humiliated. She bit her lower lip and hesitated several times before she spoke reluctantly.

"I...I want to accompany Sixth Sister into the palace. I can take care of her and share your burden to prevent her from getting into trouble and bringing trouble to the two families."

The way she said this made it seem as if Su Lanyin was some kind of troublemaker, and she actually looked up to herself.

Those who don’t know her would think she is very capable, as if the Su family would collapse at any time without her.

Ji Yun curled her lips: "No."

This rejection is so straightforward!

Everyone present was stunned and looked in disbelief.

The eldest daughter of the Su family had even knelt down, yet she was rejected?

Su Yongcheng just felt that he had lost all his face!

Liu Ruyan was so angry that her whole body was shaking!

The old lady was so dizzy that she couldn't straighten her back.

Everyone had a frustrated look on their face, which made Su Lanyin feel very happy!

In her previous life, with Lu Wanjun paving the way for her, Su Lanxin had never suffered a setback, let alone being rejected. She could get almost anything she wanted.

Too bad, not in this life!

Su Lanxin's lips trembled, and her almond-shaped eyes quickly filled with tears as she looked at Ji Yun pitifully.

"Madam Li, Xin'er will definitely be very obedient and take good care of her sister..."

Ji Yun interrupted her expressionlessly: "First of all, Yinyin is very well behaved and has learned etiquette and rules very well. I believe she will not cause trouble, let alone cause trouble for me."

"Secondly, you keep saying that you entered the palace for others, as if you were forced. I don't like your attitude. You are simply disrespecting the plum blossom banquet held by the Queen Mother."

"Finally, I hate people who beat around the bush, try to be clever, and pretend to be noble. So, do you understand?"

Su Lanxin's face was as pale as if it was covered with flour. She felt ashamed and aggrieved, and tears fell from her eyes in big drops. It was hard not to feel pity for her frail appearance.

If it were someone else, they might fall for it, but Ji Yun didn't react at all and continued to look at her coldly.

Liu Ruyan couldn't help but say, "Madam Li, you may have misunderstood. Our Lan Xin is really thinking about Yin Yin..."

Ji Yun interrupted her coldly: "So what you mean is that she doesn't really want to enter the palace?"

After that, he stared at Su Lanxin who was kneeling on the ground and asked word by word: "I will give you one last chance. Do you want to enter the palace for yourself or for Lanyin?"

Su Lanxin bit her lower lip and looked at Liu Ruyan hesitantly, who was shaking her head at her.

That must have meant that she should grit her teeth and persevere.

But this time Su Lanxin didn't dare to listen to her.

If she said she entered the palace for Su Lanyin, I'm afraid Ji Yun would still use the same excuse as before and directly reject her.

Thinking of this hard-earned opportunity, she was unwilling to give up, so for the first time she raised her head and fought for herself.

"I really want to enter the palace and see the world. Madam Li, please bring Lan Xin with you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Ruyan rushed forward in rage and grabbed her arm.

"Lan Xin, what are you talking about? How can you have such shameless thoughts? Aunt Lu must have told you something, right? You are my daughter, you should be as calm as a chrysanthemum!"

Su Lanxin was a little annoyed, but she didn't dare to refute in person, so she could only whisper: "Mother, what are you talking about? I just want to enter the palace to see the world, and I don't have any other thoughts."

"But going for others is different from going for yourself! I won't allow my daughter to have such dirty and despicable thoughts!"
