"I heard that Yan girl has sent away all the servants in her room. Isn't there not enough people to serve you now?”The old madam suddenly said to Su Xinyan. The smile on her face hadn't completely disappeared. It was the smile she had when she was talking to Su Qiandan earlier.
Su Xinyan smiled lightly. She still had a smile on her face." Thank you, Grandmother. Those servants didn't take my words seriously. There was no use in keeping such servants. However, Yan 'er had recently gotten four servant girls. Yan' er was young and usually had nothing to do, so the number of people serving her was really enough.”
"That's good." The old madam replied casually, her stern gaze looking straight into Su Xinyan's deep eyes.
Su Xinyan pursed her lips and smiled. Her eyes met the old madam's without moving for a moment. She looked deep and mysterious because no one could tell what she was thinking.
The eyes were the window to the human heart. The mind could see through the eyes, which meant that one could see what a person was thinking through the eyes.
However, the old madam realized that she could not see through her granddaughter.
Outside, a servant girl ran in and panted as she said to Old Madam," Old Madam, Old Master is here."”
The old madam's eyes lit up. She instantly retracted her gaze from Su Xinyan and turned her gaze to the door. His body stood up involuntarily and took two steps forward.
"Mother!" Su Lihua strode in, still wearing his brownish-red official robe. As soon as he entered, he knelt in front of the old madam." I pay my respects to Mother."”
The old madam quickly helped him up." Good child, get up quickly!”
For some reason, Su Xinyan felt that this scene was extremely fake. It was clearly a scene of a loving mother and filial son, but in her eyes, it was fake.
Su Lihua was filial and respected the old lady who had given birth to him. The old madam's eyes were also filled with joy. These could not be faked.
However, was a man who could kick his dead daughter out of the Ancestral Records really that sentimental? Su Xinyan was puzzled. Or perhaps, it was just not good for her and her brother.
No! In a flash, Su Xinyan reacted. If she was not good to her and her brother, wasn't she not good to her biological mother's family?
Why? Su Xinyan narrowed her eyes. She really did not understand. Did Mother do something wrong?
"Yan 'er pays respects to father."
"Dan 'er greets father."
After the servant girl placed the twelve dishes and two soups on the table, the old madam moved her chopsticks and picked up a piece of marinated pork for Su Lihua.
Aunt Liu stood behind Su Lihua, holding a pair of chopsticks, wanting to serve Su Lihua some food.
Su Xinyan sat directly opposite Su Lihua. Seeing that Aunt Liu was about to serve Su Lihua, she smiled and said," Aunt, Grandmother is the most important person here today." Yan 'er said that father didn't need YiNiang to serve the dishes. YiNiang should serve Grandmother instead.”
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head slightly and took a sip of the soup.
When Su Lihua heard this, she couldn't help but turn to look at Aunt Liu. Seeing that she was indeed holding a pair of chopsticks to serve him, he waved his hand and said,"Go and serve mother the dishes. I'll do it myself.”
Everyone at the dining table looked at Aunt Liu. The latter paused for a moment before smiling and agreeing. He walked over to the old madam and held a pair of chopsticks in his right hand.
"Oh, right. Today, his son had asked Liu-shi to come here to tell everyone a piece of good news in front of his mother.”Su Lihua looked at the old lady.
As expected, Su Xinyan saw the shy expression on Aunt Liu's face. To be able to invite Aunt Liu to such an occasion, Su Xin thought that Aunt Liu must be pregnant.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have thought of anything worth mentioning so seriously at a family banquet.
As expected, Su Lihua looked at Aunt Liu with a smile on her face." Madam Liu is already pregnant. The doctor said that she is already two months pregnant.”
Two months pregnant? Lady Su narrowed her eyes dangerously and turned to look at Lady Liu.
The last time he spoke to Liu-shi in his courtyard was only a few days ago. At that time, Liu-shi must have known that he was pregnant, but she did not say anything. To be precise, he didn't dare to tell her.
The old madam revealed a happy expression. There had been no children in the Minister's Residence for eight years. Now that there was good news, how could people not feel happy?
Instantly, the old madam became kind to Aunt Liu. She even held Aunt Liu's hand." You're already pregnant. Why are you still serving me? She was also careless about her own body!”
Then, the old madam instructed a nanny behind her." Granny Liu, quickly bring a stool over."”
The nanny responded and moved a chair from the back. It was placed on the left side of Fourth Miss Su Jieyi and on the right side of Su Xinyan, facing the old madam.
Concubine Liu was panic-stricken. She did not dare to accept the old madam's special favor and even felt panic.#
