Chapter 158: Che'er Won't See Her
"Why did the second lady change her mind? You just left Mrs. Yun's courtyard, but you didn't plan to go back. But now, you entered Mr. Yun's study, why do you want to join in the fun again?" Qiaolan asked in confusion.
"I'm curious," Su Jinxin said mysteriously, "because I want to know which lady Yun finally chose to be the young lady of the Yun family for Mr. Yun."
The current Mrs. Yun was so angry that she could marry into the Yun family with peace of mind. She was called Mr. Yun’s stepmother. Isn’t it a pity to see such a shameless person? Besides, she would choose a wife for Mr. Yun so kindly, and she was interested in nothing more than benefits. Whoever gave her benefits could not tell whose daughter would be the future Mrs. Yun’s young lady.
From this point of view, Mr. Su in his previous life not only flattered Mr. Yun, but also promised Mrs. Yun a lot of benefits. Otherwise, as a concubine, how could he meet Mr. Yun and marry into the Yun family successfully?
"Miss Su Er, I finally found you. Come with me. The lady is anxious to send someone to find you when she learns that you are missing." At this time, an eighteen-nine-year-old maid came towards her. Su Jinxin recognized her as Tong'er, the eldest maid next to Mrs. Gu.
"Miss. The second lady was lost accidentally and walked around Yun Mansion for half a day before she found this." Qiaolan said this, explaining to Su Jinxin well why she disappeared just now, and avoiding the questioning of Mrs. Gu when she saw Su Jinxin later, revealing her flaws.
Tong'er is Mrs. Gu's personal maid and is highly valued by Mrs. Gu on weekdays. She does not have a deep impression of Su Jinxin, the second lady of the Su family. Over the years, she has accompanied Mrs. Gu to the Su family several times, but she has never seen Miss Su. It has only been a few months since she saw the true face of Miss Su.
"Miss Cousin II, the wife said that Mrs. Yun's birthday banquet will end soon. Even if you feel bored, you will endure it. If you make a mistake in the Yun family, it is not easy for the wife to explain to her uncle."
Tong'er advised her, but the meaning was obvious. Mrs. Yun used this birthday party to choose a wife for Mr. Yun. You, Miss Su, have no appearance, no talent and reputation, and you are not yet in the forefront. You are not your turn. But even if you stay here and do nothing, you are a foil. Don't run around, so you will not get into trouble at the Yun family. Then the face of the Su family and the Gu family will be lost.
Haha, the eldest aunt's maid can also speak, and humiliated her in a corner without even having a dirty word. Su Jinxin suddenly chuckled, and the silver bell-like laughter made people unable to guess what she was really thinking.
However, no matter how in the second Miss Su, she, isn't a maid, it's the turn of a maid to bully her like this.
With a clear smile on his eyes, his majesty gradually emerged, "Why is Mrs. Yun's birthday banquet boring? Tong'er, you can't say this nonsense. Also, I think this is not from my eldest aunt's mouth."
Although Tong'er's words were not what Mrs. Gu said, they were almost the same. However, when Su Jinxin made such a mistake, she changed the taste. Mrs. Gu said that the birthday banquet of the Yun family was boring. The implication was that she looked down on Mrs. Yun and implicitly mocked her for a re-stand. Why did she hold a birthday banquet with great fanfare? She also invited so many wives from the Jiangnan family and the ladies to come to Yun Mansion to congratulate her.
"Miss Cousin, I don't mean this. This is what the lady said. No, no, it is me..." Tong'er was so scared that her face turned pale by Su Jinxin's short words. Even the lady dared not offend Mrs. Yun, let alone her little maid. If Mrs. Yun listened to this, someone would be sowed by it. The Gu family and the Yun family would have a rift. At that time, how could the lady let her go easily?
Haha... Qiaolan laughed secretly, and she dared to mock Miss Second. Now she knows that Miss Second is amazing.
When he walked into Mrs. Yun's courtyard, a maid rolled up the curtain and welcomed Su Jinxin into it.
But Su Jinxin limped and his forehead was broken, and his hair was bleeding. This look fell into the eyes of the maids of Yun Mansion. In addition to surprise, there was also contempt. Is this average-looking woman really a lady from a noble family? Why don’t she look like her?
The silk and bamboo in the upper room are pleasant and laughter continues.
Sure enough, the banquet had already begun.
"Mrs. Yun is still in style, I really teach me how to envy you."
"Who said no? I met Mrs. Yun a few years ago, and she looked like this. Now, a few years have passed and I am old, but you see, Mrs. Yun has not changed at all."
"No wonder Mr. Yun has taken great care of Mrs. Yun for more than ten years."
...
Many wives of aristocratic families sat in the banquet and frequently tried to please Mrs. Yun in every way, with the purpose of allowing Mrs. Yun to take a fancy to their daughter and marry the Yun family.
Because Mrs. Gu is the wife of the magistrate of Muzhou, her seat is higher than that of ordinary aristocratic ladies. Miss Gu Siting sat next to Mrs. Gu naturally has a certain advantage over ordinary aristocratic ladies.
The concubine Su Jinyan sat in the last place, closest to the door, so Su Jinxin saw her as soon as she came in.
The Su family is far inferior to these aristocratic families with profound backgrounds. In addition, the Su family started out in a tea business. Even though some aristocratic families do not have the wealth of the Su family, the wives and ladies of these aristocratic families have far more seats than the Su family.
"Where have you been?" Su Jinyan's tone was not kind, and she looked up as soon as she saw Su Jinxin.
Relying against the door, there was another inconspicuous seat. Even if he sneaked in and sat down, no one would take a look. Su Jinxin understood why the concubine Su Jinyan was angry with her beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to scold anyone she saw. She also stared at Gu Siting not far away from time to time, looking unwilling.
They are both from concubines, but Gu Siting is much luckier than Su Jinyan. She has been raised by her mother, Mrs. Gu since she was a child and raised by her legitimate wife. Now, relying on her identity as a prefect, she has defeated her sister Su Jinyan again. How could Su Jinyan go crazy without being jealous?
Su Jinxin was too lazy to pay attention to her sister Su Jinyan, so she sat down in the empty seat beside her.
"Oh, even Siting's cousin is only able to sit in the middle. You are a concubine, and you can sit on an equal footing with me. Well, although you are the last one, you should feel extremely honored, Sister Yu." After sitting firmly, Su Jinxin began to dig a pit, which made her angry, but Su Jinxin smiled faintly and calmly glanced at the many wives of the aristocratic families here. The ladies no longer looked at them.
"Qiaolan, the shrimp looks good, pick some for me."
"Qiaolan, the bass is fresh, so I'll pick up a piece for me."
...
As if he was out of the matter, Su Jinxin ordered Qiaolan to pick up this dish for a while and that dish again for a while. She just kept her head open and ate it, regardless of the dozen or so disdainful gazes that the ladies from the aristocratic families next to her.
After all, who would really eat at the banquet when coming to Yun Mansion to attend a banquet? This will not only lose its identity, but will also be laughed at. But obviously, Su Jinxin completely ignored it and ate when he should eat it. Those disdainful eyes turned a blind eye.
Second Miss, please stop eating. Even if you eat, you should eat more reservedly. Woo... You are the legitimate lady of the Su family. Qiaolan looked at her second Miss eating with a feast and didn't dare to look up embarrassedly.
"Su Jinxin, is our Su family hungry for you on weekdays?" Su Jinyan sneered from the side, "If you want to embarrass you, don't pull me." Su Jinxin, a little bitch, was shameless and asked her to make a fool of herself. When she returned to the mansion, she must let her father punish her seriously.
It was originally several wives from aristocratic families on the side. The ladies stared at Su Jinxin and looked again. Gradually, they saw Su Jinxin’s wives. There were more and more ladies from aristocratic families. Several ladies were still covering their mouths and sneering. This little daughter of aristocratic family was just a mud that could not be supported on the wall. It would be fine if she had never seen the world, but she didn’t understand etiquette. Haha, she was so laughing to death.
Some wives and ladies of aristocratic families began to whisper during the meal, commenting on Su Jinxin.
"Whose lady is this?"
Mrs. Yun on the main seat also noticed the woman sitting on the last seat, wearing a plain silk skirt, with some wrinkles on her skirt, a swollen forehead, and blood stains were still flowing.
Mrs. Gu said with a little shame, "Mrs. Yun, this is the legitimate daughter of my third brother. Her name is Jinxin."
The word "Jinxin" came out, like thunder thunder rising from the ground, causing all the wives and ladies of the aristocratic families to look at Su Jinxin at the same time.
Of course, there are also those who just recognized Su Jinxin's identity, such as Miss Liang, Miss Qian and others.
It was Su Jinxin, the second lady of the Su family. That was the woman who was inseparable from the rumors about Mr. Yun in these days! But she seemed to be in trouble. When these wives and ladies of aristocratic families thought about the rumors in Lin'an City recently and what they had heard in the past, about how stupid and mediocre Miss Su was, they immediately scoffed at Su Jinxin and were full of salutation. The legitimate lady of the Su family looked like this. It was just that she looked average, but she didn't even know the basic morality of a woman. Not to mention that she was a legitimate lady, even the maids of the Yun Mansion standing behind her looked more like a legitimate lady than her, the second lady of the Su family.
"Auntie, it's her who ruined the reputation of cousin Yun." Miss Liang sat next to Mrs. Yun, with a little anger in her low voice.
"Ying'er is just a few rumors and is not trustworthy." Mrs. Yun was well maintained, nearly forty years old, and still charming. She smiled, but she was sarcastic in her smile, comforting Liang Ying, "A little daughter of the Su family looks like this, Che'er will not like her." With her niece's talent and appearance, she is just around the corner, and the master also said that if Yun Che is willing, she can marry a few more wives, haha..., she doesn't believe that Yun Che is really not close to women.
