Su Lian quickly told her to stop talking. Wasn't this obviously offending people?

Su Yun, who was standing by, glared at Su Lian angrily, "That's still better than the fourth sister. She's inferior in both talent and appearance. Who would be willing to marry her in the future?"

"Third sister, you are going too far!"

"Alright, alright!"

Wang tapped the table lightly and turned her head to look towards the main hall, fearing that her voice would be too loud and disturb them. She turned back to look at the people in the hall and scolded in a low voice: "There are many distinguished guests today. As members of the Su family, do you want to embarrass the master at the birthday banquet?"

Su Yun and Su Lian were still somewhat unconvinced. They snorted at each other and turned away.

Seeing the two sisters quarreling in public, Su He asked the maid to present the gift that had been prepared in advance, two red jade bracelets of the same quality.

"I forgot to prepare gifts for my two younger sisters last time I went back. Today is a good opportunity to make up for it on father's birthday. I hope my two younger sisters don't mind." Su He smiled.

In the small agarwood box, two bracelets lay quietly, shining brightly and with a unique and pure texture.

Su Yun took the bracelet reluctantly, glanced at it casually, and then handed it to the maid beside her for safekeeping.

Where had Su Lian seen such a good thing? She was overjoyed and took the bracelet and put it on her wrist, praising: "Second sister has a good eye! I like it very much!"

"nice! You love it."

Red jade is not a piece of jewelry that everyone can wear, and one piece is worth a fortune.

Seeing Su He's generosity, Wang pulled her sleeve and asked in a low voice, "They all have it, what about your sister-in-law's?"

There were many guests today, and fearing something might happen, Zhao Wanrong stayed in the yard to take care of her pregnancy and did not show up.

Su He knew that her mother was worried, so she said softly, "I have already sent someone to deliver my sister-in-law's gift, which is a glass jade Guanyin."

"Very good, very good."

There were shadows moving in the main hall, and the housekeeper came over to tell her that it was time for the banquet. Wang immediately stood up and started to make arrangements.

Su He paid close attention to Lu Yanxiu's actions. Through the green bamboo screen, she saw him standing on the steps outside the hall, hesitating, as if he had not made up his mind yet.

But no matter how hesitant and entangled he is, the result will be the same.

Once you help the Second Prince, there is no turning back.

"Is Second Sister still attached to her ex-husband?"

In the women's hall, the atmosphere immediately became quiet as soon as Wang left.

Su Yun's sudden question at this time undoubtedly drew everyone's attention to her.

Su He looked back, and his cold gaze met hers.

"I saw Second Sister staring at Lu Yanxiu all the time, and I thought it was because she couldn't forget her old love... If I said something wrong by accident, Second Sister is very tolerant, please don't take it to heart."

She had a faint smile on her lips, staring at Su He motionlessly.

No one in the hall dared to say a word. Aunt Luo even secretly pulled at the corner of Su Yun's clothes, telling her not to say any more and that it would be best if she apologized to Su He and the matter would be over.

Su Yun refused.

Su He's eyes were calm, and she suddenly chuckled and replied, "Is Third Sister's eyes fixed on me? Why are you so concerned about my actions?"

"Even if I deliberately paid attention to your actions, didn't you stare at Lu Yanxiu?"

Su He walked closer, her voice a little cold, "If you put this much thought into yourself, Cheng Yu would have been devoted to you long ago, and he wouldn't have rejected the marriage in such a high-profile way."

"you……"

"Third sister, you should take good care of your own piece of land and stop worrying about unnecessary things."

As soon as Su He finished speaking, Lu Yanxiu, who was on the other side of the screen, looked around and left the main hall.

She moved her eyes and winked at Pei Xia who was on duty in the corridor, and the latter immediately followed.

"Who are you talking about?"

The next second, Su Yun grabbed Su He's wrist, and seemed to want to argue with her. Aunt Luo hurried forward to stop her, but her daughter was too stubborn and she could do nothing for the time being.

Su He turned around and stared at her.

"The situation in the court is polarized now, and even children in the streets know that things are going to change. Although Third Sister stays at home, you don't ask how many times I go out of the house in a month? Instead, you pay attention to who I stare at and who I look at? Didn't father teach you such a simple truth as being prepared for danger in times of peace?"

"You...what do you mean?"

She had indeed heard her father mention the situation in the court.

But my father is on the side of the prince, and when he ascends the throne, he will be an important official. Could there be any changes?

Su He glanced at her calmly and said contemptuously: "On second thought, I am probably overthinking. Third sister is smart and can stay out of danger even if she is in danger."

Su Yun's cheeks turned pale and she denied it flatly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

When the cheating case a few days ago involved Su Ronghai and Su He, Su Yun had already discussed with Aunt Luo about reselling the jewelry, fearing that the Su family would be in trouble and wanted to escape in the chaos.

Fortunately, everything was peaceful and nothing happened.

But didn't Su He mean that he had seen through her thoughts? How could she have known?

The reason why Su He said this was because of his past life.

The Su family was imprisoned, and the two sisters Su Yun and Su Lian were willing to kneel at the feet of the enemy in order to survive. It is not shameful to want to survive, but it is really disgusting to be a foot-licking dog in front of the enemy.

"Alright, alright, stop talking. The Second Miss finally returns to her parents' home. Ayun, please talk less."

Aunt Luo pulled Su Yun aside to comfort her, and whispered an apology to Su He. Su Yun couldn't bear to see her mother being so humble in front of her, so she overturned the tea on the table to the floor, and the noise startled the whole hall.

Lu Huaihe rushed over after hearing the news, and when he saw the tea spilled all over the floor, he first looked at Su He.

"Are you OK?"

Su He shook his head, looked at Su Yun deeply, and walked out.

Normally she has time to deal with Su Yun.

But there are more important things to do right now.

Lu Huaihe came out with Su He, but they had only taken a few steps when the guest called them back. When they parted, he pulled the delicate jade hand beside him and clenched it slightly, with a focused expression: "Marquis Qingyun is in the mansion, you can call him anytime."

"it is good."

He re-entered the main hall and sat down. The servant brought new tea. Lu Huaihe took a sip absentmindedly, but his eyes followed Su He as he walked away.

Someone nearby joked, "Master Lu and the young lady are really inseparable and very close!"

"No wonder people say that true love never comes too late."

"..."

Lu Huaihe held his forehead and smiled very gently: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all."

In the women's hall, Su Yun heard his words with an uncontrollable smile, and jealousy in her eyes was about to burst out.

Although her father always said that he would find a husband for her, none of the candidates he looked for was satisfactory!

It is said that girls have a rapeseed fate.

Su Yun had been a concubine for more than a decade, and she didn't want to be dominated by others after getting married.

Moreover.

Why can Su He have half of the dowry, but I can only get the tip of the iceberg?
