Chapter 697: Seeing Each Other (6)

It wasn't until the maid outside came to announce that the young lady had arrived that Madam Su immediately sat up straight and looked towards the door excitedly.

Then, a tall girl in a light yellow jacket and skirt walked in. She was pretty, with a heroic look between her eyebrows and eyes, and tanned skin. She walked with a bouncy manner, had a bun on, and wore only two pearl earrings on her clothes. There was also a red dagger at her waist.

Mrs. Su: “…” I didn’t expect that Su Mingfeng actually liked this kind of woman. At first glance, she looked… very lively and unruly.

The girl saw Luo Xueyan and smiled, "Aunt."

Younger sister-in-law? Madam Su was startled, and then she saw clearly that there was another girl behind this girl. This one was wearing a lilac-colored crabapple pleated skirt with piping, a moon-white jacket, and a snow-white cloak on the outside. Her skin was as white as a peeled egg, her eyes were round and bright, she had a small nose and a small mouth, and her eyebrows were delicate. She had a lovely appearance. But her naivety was completely suppressed by a strange posture. She walked dignified and steady, looking like someone who came out of the palace. When Madam Su first married Su Yu, she had seen the queen when she accompanied the new bride to meet the queen mother. She felt that the petite and lovely girl in front of her had exactly the same posture as the queen, and even had more airs than the queen. She seemed to be a noble lady walking towards her with her chin held high and proud and cold. Every move she made was full of the nobility of a heavy purple prince.

The girl called Luo Xueyan "mother" and then looked at Madam Su.

Luo Xueyan quickly said, "This is the wife of the Pingnan Bosu family. This is my daughter and niece, Tan'er."

Shen Miao and Luo Tan bowed to Madam Su.

Madam Su had never been to the palace banquet before. She had only heard about Shen Miao's confrontation with Princess Ming'an at the banquet. She knew Shen Miao wasn't a docile person, so when she heard Su Minglang say that Su Mingfeng favored Shen Miao, she was a little worried. But she had to come and see her anyway, so she shamelessly posted the invitation. After all, it was her son's lifelong event. She thought Shen Miao must be a rebellious heroine, and subconsciously mistook Luo Tan for Shen Miao. But now that she saw her in person, she realized that this was completely different from the truth.

She smiled and took out two purses from her sleeves, stuffed them into the hands of Shen Miao and Luo Tan, and said with a smile: "Madam Shen is really good at taking care of people. Her daughter and niece are both very beautiful. When she came here just now, I was wondering where this fairy came from. Madam Shen is really blessed."

Luo Tan and Shen Miao both looked at the purse in their hands, somewhat bewildered. It wasn't Chinese New Year, so why would they give it as a gift? If it was someone they knew well, it wouldn't be a big deal. Shen Miao knew full well that the Su and Shen families had no connection. Could it be that what happened with Su Mingfeng yesterday had been exposed? Even if it had been exposed, what did it have to do with Madam Su coming to the Shen residence?

Luo Xueyan also looked at the purse and felt a little stiff. She was about to refuse, but Madam Su held her hands and said, "If you refuse, I will be angry. I like these two girls because they are beautiful and polite. It's just a small gift for meeting each other. People say that Madam Shen is generous. Why be so stingy?" She sighed again, "If I only had two daughters, it would be great."

Luo Xueyan was really confused by Madam Su today, so she could only agree with her and said, "Of course not. Madam, you have two sons, and they are both very outstanding."

"How can he be excellent?" Madam Su shook her head. "Minglang is very naughty. He doesn't make any progress every day. He just follows his father's mischief. I can't control him. I heard that your brother Qiu was very sensible when he was young. I envy him so much."

"Don't we still have Mingfeng?" Luo Xueyan said with a smile, "The eldest young master of the mansion is a young talent."

Madam Su was delighted and looked at Shen Miao and Luo Tan, saying, "Two girls, we are just chatting about boring things. You must be bored listening to them. Go and have fun by yourselves. I will have a heartfelt talk with Madam."

This was a subtle way of getting rid of them. Shen Miao became increasingly alert. Madam Su sent her away as soon as Su Mingfeng was mentioned. Could it be that she had guessed wrong and that Madam Su really came because of what happened yesterday?

Luo Tan and Shen Miao walked outside. Shen Miao took the opportunity to turn her back and whispered, "Cong Yang, go to the main hall and listen to what they said."

She knew that even if she spoke softly, Congyang would be able to hear her. Seeing this, Luo Tan asked, "Little cousin, what are you mumbling about?"

In the main hall, Madam Su clutched her chest, glanced at Luo Xueyan with melancholy, and said, "To be honest, Madam, Mingfeng is truly remarkable. For all these years, he's never once given his father and me any worry. He's a handsome and talented man, highly educated, entered the government at a young age, and is filial and respectful. There's no one like him in Dingjing even with a lantern."

Luo Xueyan smiled, but she was secretly grumbling, "Just now she was praising Shenqiu, and now she's saying her son Dingjing is number one. Who would boast like that?"

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Madam Su sigh exaggeratedly and said, "There's only one bad thing. My son is so stubborn. Once he likes something, he won't care about anything else. As a result, he still hasn't married yet. It's really a sin!"
