The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

Perhaps seeing that Su Leyun didn't say anything else, the other ladies started whispering among themselves again.

To put it bluntly, these banquets are meant to provide a place for ladies, who have nothing to do in the house all day, to have a conversation.

Qiao Tingying originally invited Qin Xiu here specifically to win over him.

After all, Zhou Mingsheng is still young, and no one knows what kind of opportunities he will have in the future. If he can get to know him earlier, he can have more friendships.

But she didn't expect Qin Xiu to invite Su Leyun.

With Su Leyun beside Qin Xiu, and what happened just now, Qiao Tingying would not dare to talk to Qin Xiu even if she wanted to.

Qin Xiu also enjoyed her leisure time, but she didn't know how to deal with these ladies.

However, the leisurely situation did not last long.

Soon, a lady came to Qin Xiu.

The lady first bowed respectfully to Su Leyun, and then chatted with Qin Xiu.

Her husband's surname was Yang, and he worked in Dali Temple. In terms of official rank, he was a little lower than Qiao Tingying's husband. However, Mrs. Yang's husband was serious about work and good at conduct, so he was highly valued by his superiors. No surprise, after some time Then you can move up a level.

"Mrs. Zhou's belly looks three or four months old, right?"

Mrs. Yang's eyes fell on Qin Xiu's belly.

Everyone knew that Mrs. Zhuangyuan was pregnant, and she also wanted to use this opportunity to open up a conversation with Qin Xiu.

Sure enough, Qin Xiu's nervous expression relaxed a little when she mentioned the child in her belly.

She smiled gently, touched her belly, and replied, "Well, it's been three months."

Mrs. Yang said with a smile: "It will be fine if you survive the first three months. It seems that you can have the child's full moon banquet next year."

Qin Xiu was stunned, but she responded quickly, "I will definitely invite Mrs. Yang to come when the time comes."

"Then I have to prepare some gifts early."

Mrs. Yang had a kind face and was good at finding topics, and her tone was friendly. After a few words of conversation, Qin Xiu gradually relaxed and was no longer as nervous as before.

Su Leyun did not participate in the conversation between the two, but smiled lightly, treating himself as a background.

Mrs. Yang and Qin Xiu became more and more interested in each other as they chatted, as if they were good friends they hadn't seen for a long time.

The other ladies nearby also had their own small circles, and for a moment it seemed as if Su Leyun was isolated.

But Su Leyun didn't care.

On the contrary, she felt that this was pretty good, as it gave herself some time to rest.

Su Leyun took a sip of tea and looked up to see the housekeeper leading a few people in.

She paused slightly as she put down the teacup.

I didn’t expect to meet an acquaintance.

The leading woman is none other than Li Mengyao, who got married not long ago.

The people behind her must be ladies from some family, judging by their attire.

The eldest son of the Prime Minister also participated in this year's Spring Festival, and his ranking was not bad. In addition, his father was the Prime Minister, so he did not go to the Hanlin Academy, but joined the Ministry of Personnel as a director.

Seeing Li Mengyao, the smile on Qiao Tingying's face became a little more sincere.

She stood up from her position and said, "Mengyao, you're finally here. I just wanted someone to check when you would arrive."

"We encountered some situations on the way and were delayed for some time."

Qiao Tingying walked to Li Mengyao. When the two stood together, they looked at each other from a distance and felt that they were somewhat similar.

Su Leyun watched for a while, and this idea came to his mind.

"Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Huo are cousins."

Mrs. Yang seemed to be introducing the relationship between the two to Qin Xiu, but in fact she was explaining it to Su Leyun.

Su Leyun suddenly understood and nodded to Mrs. Yang, thanking her for her answer.

Regardless of past life or present life, since Li Mengyao got married, she had no contact with him.

I only vaguely remember that in her previous life, Li Mengyao did not live well after her marriage.

Li Mengyao was talking to Qiao Tingying about what they met on the road, when she turned her head and saw Su Leyun.

Her face changed slightly and she whispered to Qiao Tingying: "Why is she here?"

"The No. 1 scholar's wife knows her."

"Know? I'm afraid we didn't meet each other in Jingzhou before, right?"

Li Mengyao's voice was low. Although she was dissatisfied, she also knew that Su Leyun was now the king of the country. No matter how uncomfortable she felt, she could not directly shame him.

Qiao Tingying was stunned for a moment, but she had never thought about this aspect.

However, she vaguely remembered that her husband said that Zhou Mingsheng was not from Jingzhou.

"Probably not."

Qiao Tingying shook her head and explained.

Li Mengyao also knew that it was impossible, but when she saw Su Leyun, she just didn't feel comfortable anywhere. However, she suppressed her dissatisfaction and walked straight forward without intending to salute Su Leyun.

Since Li Mengyao had no intention of coming forward to cause trouble, Su Leyun would naturally not deliberately cause trouble for him.

After sitting in his position for a while, Su Leyun couldn't sit still.

She stood up and asked Lian Xin to tell Qiao Tingying's maid that she wanted to take a walk around.

Knowing that Su Leyun wanted to go for a walk, Qiao Tingying did not refuse and even arranged for a maid to lead the way.

The maid walked in front to lead the way, introducing a few words to Su Leyun from time to time.

Soon, a bamboo forest appeared in front of Su Leyun.

"The bamboos here have been around for many years, but they haven't been taken care of. If we go further inside, I'm afraid it won't be easy to leave."

The maid smiled apologetically.

Su Leyun shook his head and pointed to the bamboo pavilion not far away, "I'll go sit there."

Lian Xin and Cui Liu were following Su Leyun and had already memorized the way there, so they asked the maid to leave first.

Sitting in the bamboo pavilion, Su Leyun breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really tired from having to maintain good manners in front of those ladies just now.

Speaking of which, Su Leyun put his hands on his cheeks and was stunned.

In her previous life, she had never attended such a banquet.

After all, Li Rui and the Li family hated her, so how could they allow her to attend such a banquet.

It's funny to say that she has been Mrs. Li for seven years, but probably not many people know about her.

Su Leyun concealed the sarcasm in his eyes, raised his eyes and looked not far away, "Since you are here, come out."

Lian Xin and Cui Liu looked at each other and followed.

After a while, Li Mengyao slowly walked out.

"Mrs. Huo didn't chat at the banquet, why are you here?"

Su Leyun spoke coldly.

She didn't think Li Mengyao came here accidentally, maybe she asked the maid specifically.

Maybe there was no one around, so Li Mengyao didn't bother to hide it, "Su Leyun, you designed Wan'er to marry that fool Li Rui, don't you feel guilty?"

Are you here to fight for Amelia Su again?

Sometimes Su Leyun really wanted to ask Li Mengyao what kind of ecstasy soup Su Waner poured into her to make her work so hard.

Thinking of this, Su Leyun seriously asked: "Mrs. Huo, has Amelia Su saved your life?"
