Chapter 161: Drawing for life
In the past life, Su Jinyan, the eldest daughter of the Su family, married Prince Yun as his wife. No matter what the reason is, it is an ironclad fact. In this life, Su Jinxin tried every means to stop him and met Prince Yun early before Su Jinyan. She thought that this life would always be different, but at that moment, when she saw the person sitting behind the curtain and standing up with Sister Su Jinyan, Su Jinxin suddenly felt that some things were actually destined, and it was really difficult to change, especially this love, which was vague and difficult to find, and it seemed to be close. She didn't know the sorrow and joy of affection for a lifetime, but she knew that even if she tried her best to stop Sister Su Jinyan from meeting Prince Yun again and again, it would not be possible to change the fate that the two of them had already destined in the dark. Some things were ultimately unsuccessful.
You still saw it when you are far away.
That's right, she is your wife whom you cared for all your life in your previous life; and I am just a stranger.
Su Jinxin sat in the last seat and smiled mockingly. Su Jinxin, you have done everything you can to make up for this man. He has endured the surrender of the world and still returned in vain.
Holding the warm teacup tightly, Su Jinxin's plain hands trembled slightly.
He closed his eyes and lowered his eyes, but he did not see the person behind the curtain. There was a faint gaze projecting on her thin body. For a long time, there was only a helpless sigh.
Su Jinyan stood in the middle of the table, smiling like a flower.
Her beautiful face was raised up arrogantly. After today, she could get rid of her status as a concubine. She lived a noble life like the ladies of the aristocratic families present, and could even trample Su Jinxin's second sister, who was born under her feet and beat and scold her.
The young lady of the Yun family, that was what many young ladies from Jiangnan families dreamed of, but my mother had already found someone to count on her fortune. The only one who could marry into the Yun family was Su Jinyan.
Thinking of Mr. Yun's appearance as an exiled immortal, Su Jinyan's appearance became even more popular. "Jinyan was talented and knowledgeable, and she would like to play and sing a song of Linfeng created by Princess Ronghui of the previous dynasty for Mrs. Yun."
Liang Ying was just playing the piano, but Su Jinyan was better at playing the piano and singing at the same time. No matter what the result was, this would have compared Liang Ying. Liang Ying was so angry that she was about to have an attack, but was pulled by Mrs. Yun, "What's the matter? My aunt can still speak." While saying that, she also glanced behind the curtain, "With an aunt here, you are indispensable to the position of the young lady in the Yun Mansion." Even if she married Su Jinyan, Yun Che could still marry again. With the power and status of the Yun family, no one dared to say anything. Back then, the master planned to welcome her into the ceremony of a fair wife, but unfortunately her sister died early, which made her bear the reputation of seizing the position of the Yun family's wife.
"lady."
At this time, the servant lady standing next to Mrs. Yun quietly attached herself to Mrs. Yun's ear and said a few words. After hearing this, Mrs. Yun widened her eyes in surprise, turned her head, and looked behind the curtain repeatedly, her face full of disbelief. Is this going to change?
"Are you sure?" This was what he said in person.
The elderly servant lady has sunken eyes and wrinkles on the corners of her eyes, but when she smiles, she is kind and kind. "Young Master is rare to be willing to take care of her. Madam, don't let her do your best." For many years, there has finally been a mortal breath on her face without sorrow and joy. If Madam knows her in the spring, she should be at ease.
"That's natural." Mrs. Yun had long been disgusted with the success of the young lady of the Su family. Humph, if this lowly woman was allowed to marry into the Yun Mansion, how could she raise her head in front of many wives of aristocratic families in the future? That is, the master was blinded by the interests of the master and was blinded by the beauty. Now that the young master spoke personally, she would have something to say.
"Miss Su Er." Mrs. Yun interrupted Su Jinyan with a smile and ordered people to remove the guqin in front of her. This change made everyone present, including Su Jinyan, stunned.
What happened?
Sure enough, the performance of Miss Su suddenly canceled. You know, Miss Su may not be the woman that Mr. Yun likes.
"Madam Yun, why is this!" Su Jinyan has been preparing for today's beauty, practicing day and night, just to shine at Mrs. Yun's birthday banquet. But now, Mrs. Yun canceled her performance without saying a word, making her stand in the middle like a fool, and be ridiculed.
Su Jinyan was unwilling to give up, and became angry, so she spoke out and questioned Mrs. Yun regardless of everything.
Mrs. Yun sneered, "Miss Su, is this the tone of your speaking to Mrs. Su? Humph, a small illegitimate daughter of the Su family is ignorant of the world. Even if your stepmother, Mrs. Su, dare not be so disrespectful to me in front of me!"
A word that the daughter of a concubine completely brought Su Jinyan back to her true form.
Among the ladies and ladies of the aristocratic families here, they suddenly realized that they were just concubines.
"A lady born in illegitimate lady is so arrogant. I don't know how the rules of the Su family were established." Mrs. Qian sneered.
Mrs. Xie immediately responded, "I heard that Mr. Su favored his concubine and killed his wife. I thought it was a rumor, but seeing this eldest lady Su's arrogant look, it didn't seem fake." Mrs. Xie was the eldest sister-in-law of Aunt Xie. When Aunt Xie was at her parents' home, she forced the eldest sister-in-law to be desperate. Therefore, when Mrs. Xie saw Su Jinyan's niece, it seemed that she saw her enemy, Aunt Xie. The mother and daughter were both virtuous and thought she was beautiful, so she seduced men everywhere, not even letting her own brothers go. Fortunately, Mr. Su took away that bitch Xie Fangxiu early that year, otherwise the Xie family might have had a scandal of brothers and sisters' incest, and was stabbed by the people in Lin'an City.
Mrs. Liang sighed intently, "No wonder we have never seen Mrs. Su take her own lady out of the house for so many years. It turns out that she was bullied by this illegitimate lady. It's so pitiful."
...
In an instant, the reputation of the Su family was destroyed again, but unlike in the past, Su Jinxin became the object of their sympathy this time. Especially when seeing Su Jinxin wearing a plain silk skirt, she even believed that Su Jinxin was bullied in the Su family. Look, this illegitimate young lady dressed much better than the legitimate daughter.
Many wives of the aristocratic family who were present took advantage of Su Jinyan, but one reason was that they disliked Su Jinyan's identity as a concubine. Of course, the most important thing was that they were afraid that she would steal the limelight from their daughter.
"You...you..." Su Jinyan is loved by Aunt Xie and Master Su on weekdays, but she has never been so angry. In addition, she is self-righteous and always thinks that everything in this world should revolve around her. Now she is pointed at by many wives of aristocratic families, and her whole body is trembling with anger.
Before Su Jinyan was angry, she was gentle and kind Miss Su. Her disguise and pretended to be pitiful would make many men unable to hurt her. She was talented and beautiful, confident and arrogant, and those dark thoughts, greed and ruthlessness were deeply hidden by her. As long as she did not touch that thread, she might never be discovered.
But now, all the ladies and ladies present looked at her like a joke, humiliated her, and defamed her status as a concubine to nothing. She was furious and forgot to hide herself again.
"Su Jinxin, you said something. If they slander our Su family like this, you dare to sit there like nothing wrong. Su Jinxin, are you the daughter of our Su family?"
Su Jinyan has been used to scolding Su Jinxin for so many years. Even if she was whipped by Su Jinxin a few times that day, she did not change her arrogant attitude towards Su Jinxin for a while. Su Jinxin still sat there safely. The Su family was embarrassed to be thrown to this point, so she might as well throw it completely. Besides, what does the honor and disgrace of the Su family have to do with her?
Moreover, it made Su Jinyan feel in the humiliation and scolding, but it hit her mind. Otherwise, why would she offend Mrs. Yun? Madam Yun hated her from now on. Haha... Sister, if you want to blame, you blame me for being my concubine. This sister did something wrong, how could she not bear it if she became a big sister?
Su Jinxin sneered in her heart, but on her face, she looked innocent, "Sister, since Mrs. Yun has other arrangements, let's forget it."
With a slight change of eyes, Su Jinxin looked at Mrs. Gu. Although Mrs. Gu likes to stumble on highs and lows, the Su family is her parents' home after all. The Su family is notorious, and her married daughter, the face is also lost.
"Su Jinyan, please keep going." Mrs. Gu scolded, "Why, I don't even listen to my eldest aunt's words?"
Su Jinyan looked at the bamboo curtain reluctantly, hoping that the person standing behind the curtain could make a sound to help her, but unfortunately, she stared at the almond eyes with tears in her eyes, but the man still didn't move at all, standing quietly behind the curtain.
Was it just a coincidence?
This thought flashed and Su Jinyan turned pale.
Mrs. Gu said, and Su Jinyan could only return embarrassedly by the ridicule of many wives and ladies of aristocratic families. However, Su Jinyan was still a little rational. In front of so many wives of aristocratic families, Mrs. Yun was obviously bullying their Su family. Thinking of this, Su Jinyan blamed Su Jin's humiliation on Su Jin's heart. If Su Jinxin, a little bitch, had not offended Mrs. Yun just now, Mrs. Yun would not treat her like this.
"Su Jinxin, you did it on purpose, right?" Back at the seat, Su Jinyan stared at Su Jinxin hatefully, with resentment in her eyes. She will never forget the shame that Su Jinxin brought to her today.
"Sister, I said that people should be self-aware." Su Jin smiled faintly, and finally let go of his heart.
She might have blamed him wrongly.
Su Jinyan was angry and lost her mind just now. Later, thinking about it, Mrs. Yun suddenly changed her mind. Besides her, there were many other ladies from the aristocratic families who had not played. It was precisely because of this that Su Jinyan was reluctant to return to her seat.
"Madam Yun, my two nieces are spoiled by my third brother on weekdays. You have a lot of them, so don't bother with these two little girls." Mrs. Gu smiled and apologized to Mrs. Yun, but every word she said secretly demoted Su Jinyan and Su Jinxin's sisters. Not only did they say that they were arrogant and willful, but they didn't understand etiquette. Thinking deeper, these two ladies from the Su family were not worthy of Mr. Yun at all, so they didn't need to be included.
"Mrs. Gu is so serious. How could this lady be as wise as these two yellow-haired girls?" Mrs. Yun smiled and raised her hand. The servant came to the person present with a scroll with a painting.
"All ladies are all very talented. I wanted to see them one by one, but because of the busy trivial matters in the house, the ladies came from afar, which could not help but delay the time of ladies. I thought about it and decided to change the way." Mrs. Yun pointed to the scroll and said meaningfully, "Mrs. I am going to take advantage of her birthday to ask for the ladies here. If anyone can answer well, I will give her a generous gift."
Mrs. Yun suddenly canceled the performances of those aristocratic ladies. The remaining ones, those aristocratic ladies who had not appeared, were naturally dissatisfied. But now seeing Mrs. Yun promising in public to come to the young lady of the Yun family with a painting, it was much fairer than just now. After all, the first lady of Liang family who appeared on the stage was Mrs. Yun's niece. Mrs. Ruoyun had no choice but to do anything.
Immediately, all the ladies and ladies present whispered to each other, and were a little smarter, and soon guessed that the way to draw a lifelong life must be the idea of the person behind the curtain.
Miss Qin's cheeks were flushed and she was eager to try. For Mr. Yun, she had been studying painting for many years. Even the gentleman who taught her to paint praised her for her talent. It seems that today she will get what she wants and become the young lady of Yun Mansion.
But Miss Qian, who was sitting not far from Miss Qin, was deflated. She was okay to dance with swords and guns on her usual occasions, but wouldn’t she have to write paintings and poems?
"Si Ting, are you sure?" Mrs. Gu asked with some concern.
Gu Siting nodded, then shook her head again. She thought that as long as she danced amazingly at Mrs. Yun’s birthday banquet and was appreciated by Mrs. Yun, she would have the chance to be selected. Who knew that it was Mr. Yun who actually gave the question today.
"Don't be anxious, let's wait and see what happens." Human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Mrs. Gu sighed in her heart. It is rumored that Mr. Yun is a dull person and never participates in any banquets. But she never thought that this person who is the most unlikely person appeared today.
"Mom, I'm afraid of Su Jinyan..." Gu Siting pointed at Su Jinyan secretly, "Junior Yun seemed to be looking at her just now."
