An Qingran is determined to take revenge in this life, and no one can stop her.

So, she took the first step towards formal revenge!

Lian Jinrong and An Yanran did not expect that they would be invited to attend the family dinner in Dongnuan Pavilion.

In the afternoon, they thought they had been scolded by their father and that there was no hope for them and their son to show up again. However, they did not expect that it was Anfu who came to inform them personally. He was the general's confidant.

I guess my father still remembers their kindness.

Lian Jinrong dressed up carefully, wearing a water blue dress, which made her look more than one or two years younger. Looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, the depressed mood she had felt in the afternoon disappeared in an instant!

An Yanran looked at her mother, who was more beautiful than her own mother, and felt unfair for her mother. She was no worse than An Qingran, and it didn't make sense that she and her mother should always be inferior to them!

In fact, she now understands that only if she gets her father's attention will she have a chance to defeat them.

However, she was troubled about how to get her father's attention. She had been defeated in Yuehua Temple before and left a very bad impression on her father. What should she do?

The dinner went on as scheduled.

The east warm room was brightly lit. Candles as thick as a child's arm were emitting dazzling light, and the glazed tile lampshade illuminated every corner of the room.

Lian Jinrong arrived very early, and the general had not yet arrived. She looked at Lian Jinyu and said, "Sister, is there anything I can do for you?"

Lian Jinyu looked at her bright appearance and couldn't help but sigh that she was also a beauty, but a little cruel!

If she hadn't squeezed into the general's mansion, perhaps he and her wouldn't have become so hostile.

She didn't say anything. Lian Jinrong looked embarrassed: "Maybe my sister came too early..."

"Well, you've come at the right time. I have a scripture here, given by Master Liaokong. It is the best way to calm your mind and cultivate your character. If you have time, you should copy it!" Lian Jinyu asked someone to look for the scripture.

Lian Jinrong's face turned red and white: "Sister, are you saying that my sister is not strong enough and needs to rest?"

"You don't have to think too much about it. This is a matter of accumulating merit. Whether you do more or less, it's all personal. I can't give you even half of it..." Lian Jinyu said half-jokingly.

Because she had regained the management rights of the general's mansion and had the general's full attention, she was in a good mood and didn't find Lian Jinrong so irritating anymore.

Lian Jinrong's mouth stiffened for a moment, then she smiled: "Sister is very thoughtful, but I am not as good as her in this respect. Therefore, it makes sense for the general not to let me be the housekeeper. But it will be hard for me from now on. I don't know that those family members are sneaky and cunning behind the scenes. If you don't have a keen eye, you will be deceived by them if you make a mistake..."

"Thank you for your reminder, I will pay attention to it!"

Just here, An Yanran walked in. She looked around, but couldn't see An Qingran. She felt a little strange.

They soon took their seats. An Yanran raised her glass to toast everyone and spoke in a very dignified manner.

An Zhongtao didn't say anything, he just raised the glass and drank. The expression on his face relaxed a little. An Qingran understood that An Yanran was also his daughter after all. He sighed and drank the wine.

A smile appeared on An Yanran's face.

An Qingran also smiled and said, "My sister has been getting better and better lately..."

"If sister can give me some advice from time to time, I'm willing to listen. But sister is very busy now, and I can't see you..." An Yanran said.

An Qingran knew that she wanted her father to ask her what she had done.

She also knew that she went to her yard to find herself, but she didn't know that there was another thing, which was what she was doing, that was enough to make her dumbfounded for a moment.

Lian Jinrong also raised her glass and said with a smile, "Sister, you have worked hard these days. I will toast to you."

Lian Jinyu said, "Sister, you are so polite. You are just as tired as I am at home. You have worked hard too!"

An Qingran was still thinking in her heart, her mother was such a good person. Even though she knew what others were doing behind her back, she would not be embarrassed to refute them in person as long as they said nice things.

Although An Zhongtao was somewhat dissatisfied with Lian Jinrong and her daughter for a while, it was a reunion dinner after all, so he naturally couldn't be too serious about it, but the knot in his heart was still not resolved.

An Yanran was really embarrassed. Now everyone in the capital knew that her youngest daughter was jealous of her elder daughter and slandered her in front of everyone!

At this moment, Nanny Hong came in with plates in her hands and filled the table with food. There were only six dishes on the table. Logically, all of them should have been served.

Lian Jinrong didn't dare to speak today. After all, it was Lian Jinyu who arranged the party, so she was just enjoying it. It would be best if she made a fool of herself.

Lian Jinyu spoke up: "Madam Hong, why are you so slow? Hurry up the kitchen staff!"

An Zhongtao said from the side: "What's the matter? You haven't been home these few days. Did something happen to the people in the kitchen again?"

These words were obviously meant for Lian Jinrong to hear.

Lian Jinrong didn't think that was the case, but she didn't dare to respond. She was feeling depressed and secretly hated him, thinking that this banquet might not be a good one.

How can I turn the situation around?

Before she could say anything, Madam Hong said, "Because the maids in the mansion have been busy cleaning. Madam just asked them to make the lanterns, and they haven't finished yet. Why not let Cui'er and others help? I wonder what Madam thinks?"

Lian Jinrong nodded: "It turns out that the maids in my sister's room are not enough. Just tell me and I will come to help. It's nothing! Cui'er, go ahead!"

"Yes, madam!" Xiao Cui bowed to Lian Jinrong and walked out.

An Qingran suddenly said, "Mother, this maid is really weird. Why does she call Auntie Madam? Maybe her eyesight is not working well!"

Hearing this, Lian Jinrong's face suddenly changed color. She looked at An Qingran and said, "Qingran, I must have seen it wrong. Why would she call me Madam? She should call me mother..."

"That's what I heard!" An Qingran raised her eyebrows and smiled sweetly, "Or maybe I heard it wrong!"

An Zhongtao also heard it clearly, but he didn't care. Now that An Qingran said this, he suddenly felt something was wrong, so he asked, "Is this maid from your room? Why is she so rude?"

Lian Jinrong turned around and said to Cui'er, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so unruly? What do I usually teach you?"

Cui Er immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Madam, Cui Er is just following your instructions. I dare not disobey you. Didn't you ask the servants to call you Madam?"

Lian Jinrong's eyebrows stood up when she heard this: "Stupid thing, why don't you get out of here quickly? Why did I teach you to yell like that? You are stupid, but I don't even know the difference between high and low?"
